His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 - Long Industries’ Party Part VI

Long Jian was once again rendered speechless but couldn’t argue with what Iris said because it was the truth, plain and simple. Indeed, there was no genuine trust between them right from the start, and yet somehow they still ended up becoming allies.

It would serve him well to remember that theirs was just a temporary alliance. Once they attained their own objectives, they would become rivals fighting against each other for the top position.

That was how it should be.

But why was it that right now he was thinking that it would be such a big shame to sever their pleasant relationship afterwards? They had only been working together for a short period of time but they already developed a camaraderie that surprised him.

He even started bringing little sweets in his pocket for whenever she had her childish cravings, for goodness’ sake! Was he raising a pet or what?

Before he could examine his own feelings about their alliance, the party’s emcee called everyone’s attention to begin a round of important speeches from the company’s key executives.

The atmosphere was very festive with a collective feeling of great relief after overcoming the nerve-wracking stock price crash.

As the big boss, Long Tengfei was the last one to take the mic and give a speech. Truth be told, almost all the executives’ speeches sounded the same—mostly boring. Fortunately, he kept his speech brief and concise.

"Tonight we celebrate our tenacity to survive despite all the odds against us," he said. "We, Long Industries, are strong, dedicated and tough. We don’t give up!"

His passionate statement earned the cheers from everyone.

He continued, "We fell dangerously close to the bottom but thankfully, we have talented individuals who quickly burst into action to solve our company’s greatest predicament so far. And I’m proud to say that the leading figures who pulled us from drowning were two of my own children."

The cheers immediately became louder, the loudest being the ones near the entrance. Everyone knew who Long Tengfei was talking about. The large group near the entrance may have low positions in the company but they had the advantage in numbers. Many of them were Black Stars, so they couldn’t help themselves but cheer with all their might.

"I would like to invite the Deputy COO who’s also my second son, Long Jian, and of course, our company’s current celebrity brand ambassador and also my youngest daughter, Iris Long, to come join me on the stage."

Amidst the almost deafening cheers and applause, mostly from the loyal Black Stars, two figures made their way to the stage to join their father. One was handsome while the other was beautiful. Both were elegant in their own way. Together, they looked divine. If people didn’t already know that the two gorgeous individuals were siblings, it wasn’t far-fetched to think that they were romantically well-matched.
