The CMO was actually giving her an opportunity. It was up to Iris whether she could grab it or not.
Of course, she was going to grab it.
Long Tengfei turned his head back to her and gave her an approving nod before continue to walk and speak with the others. Even some of the other chief executives, including Long Jian's direct superior, the COO, gave her friendly smiles.
She responded in kind, not at all bothered by the other ones who wore unpleasant expressions.
"Not bad," Long Jian whispered to her as they walked together.
"Thanks." She accepted his modest praise for her successful marketing presentation where she absolutely killed it.
"The new CMO isn't bad either," he said. "He's just strict. He's actually quite similar to my boss, the COO. They're quite fair in that regard. Your superior's face just look like someone always owes him money, but I heard that's just his natural expression. As for the others, well, I'm sure you know which side they're standing on based on how they kept trying to sabotage you."
Iris glanced at the other figure walking on the other side.
Long Hui appeared thinner and grimmer, but he still retained his good looks. Despite all the setbacks he suffered in the past year, he still had plenty of loyal allies remaining by his side. His foundation in the Long clan and Long Industries as the heir apparent wasn't so easily uprooted by just anyone.
His group glanced at Iris and Long Jian with barely concealed hostility.
The two camps had a brief stare-down before completely ignoring each other.
Bystanders could feel the bad blood between them.
Long Hui and his allies all had unpleasant expressions. They weren't pleased that Iris was parachuted to the position of Deputy Chief Marketing Officer out of nowhere. Worse, it appeared that she was killing it in her new position.
Her marketing proposal was so excellent that it immediately got approved by the chief executives. Even when they tried to poke holes on her proposal, she always had a solution ready. To be honest, even they themselves thought that it was a superb proposal. If only it wasn't created and presented by their enemy.
One of them even tried to remain stubborn and oppose the proposal no matter what but was shut down by the CMO with no mercy. They were all in shock because they thought that they would be able to tempt the CMO to join their camp especially after knowing that he had been hoping to promote his own protégé as his deputy but was blocked by Iris' sudden promotion instead.
They didn't expect that he would remain loyal to the Marketing Team. Now that Iris Long was an official member of his team, then he would back her up from now on. It seemed that for him, it didn't matter who was in the position as long as the person did the job properly and didn't shame his team. That was the most important thing to the new CMO.
Upon discovering this, Long Hui and his allies could only grit their teeth and swallow this loss. Next time, they would surely block Iris Long and prevent her from building her influence within the company.
