His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 325 - Proud Father

The receptionist asked Iris for an autograph and a picture with her before her manager arrived and reprimanded her. The manager took over the counter.

"Miss Long, we’ve already been informed of your appointment with the President. Please follow me."

The manager led them to the elevators headed to the topmost floor. They encountered several employees who immediately recognized Iris. They had mixed reactions upon seeing her.

Of course they knew who she was. They knew her not only as a celebrity but also as the youngest daughter of their President-CEO. They also knew about her past reputation as a spoiled brat who was estranged from the Long family. Many of them continued to believe that she was still the difficult princess who brought nothing but trouble to her family. These businesspeople didn’t really think highly of her.

However, there were a few of them who, like the receptionist from earlier, were Black Stars. They excitedly asked for her autograph and photos with her which she gladly obliged.

Finally, they arrived at the topmost floor. The manager handed them over to Cao Guang who was already waiting for them by the elevator. Cao Guang brought them to Long Tengfei’s office.

There were other people inside the office besides Long Tengfei. Long Hui was there and another man around Long Tengfei’s age. He introduced himself as the company’s COO. Their respective assistants were also present, sitting inconspicuously behind their bosses.

"Father, thank you for granting us an appointment today." Iris was truly grateful to Long Tengfei. She knew that his schedule must be full but he still made time for her.

He nodded. Looking at the foreign people accompanying her, he couldn’t hide the curiosity from showing in his eyes. He wanted to know why exactly she requested an appointment with him. She only told him that it was about a business opportunity.

If this was before, he wouldn’t bother calling her to the company, much less inviting the COO and Long Hui, who was currently the Deputy CFO. However, his daughter was now the student of the business legend Lu Jianhong. Long Tengfei figured that if she said that it was a business opportunity, it would really be a business opportunity.

Long Hui was also curious like Long Tengfei when he was called to join the meeting.

As for the other man, the COO, it was understandable that he wasn’t very happy. He thought that Long Tengfei was abusing his power as the President-CEO just to spoil his younger daughter who was known as a brat and a troublemaker. He didn’t appreciate being called to leave his mountain of work just to join a meeting involving a young celebrity who didn’t know anything about the business industry.

"Miss Long, as you requested, we prepared a projector for you. Is there anything else that you need?" Cao Guang asked her.

"No, thank you," Iris replied.

She quickly connected her laptop to the projector. The Bauer siblings also opened the suitcase they brought and pulled out samples of skincare products.

Amanpio Kileksky watched his companions busying themselves while he just sat there munching on the biscuits prepared as refreshments. He acted like he was in his own living room. But he quickly got bored after only a few moments. He stood up and started walking around the entire office, checking out the books and knick-knacks from the shelves without permission.

Iris only gave him a glance before telling Long Tengfei, "Don’t mind him. He’s just a weird person."

Moments later, their set-up was finally complete.

On the projector screen, a beautiful logo was displayed. It was of an orchid blossom which also looked like a silhouette of a female face. Then written below it were the words Orchidia Beauty.

Iris commissioned Meimei to make the logo.

Everyone became even more curious after seeing it.

"Hello, everyone. Thank you for your time. My name is Iris Long and I’m the founder, owner and President of Orchidia Beauty. We are a skincare company. Here with me are the original developers of the product. This is Alric Bauer and his sister Alona Bauer. They came all the way from Germany."

The siblings greeted Long Tengfei and the others in accented English.

Iris continued. "And the weird guy snooping over there is Amanpio Kileksky, an inventor who has several patents under his name. He helped us build several special equipment we need to make the formulas of our products. He’s also my fellow student at Cross Academy."

Several loud gasps could be heard from the room.

"What?!" The COO’s eyes almost popped out of his head.

His assistant and Long Hui’s assistant also looked shocked.

"Did I hear you correctly? Did you just say Cross Academy? Ahaha. I think I’m getting old. I’m starting to mishear things..." The COO laughed awkwardly.

"No. You’re not mishearing things. My daughter is a student of Cross Academy, that legendary school for geniuses," Long Tengfei told his colleague with a proud expression on his face. It felt so good to brag about his daughter!

"W-what..." The COO looked dazed.

Iris didn’t give him any time to recover his wits. She immediately launched into her business presentation. She described her business and its current progress so far. Of course, the star of the company were the products themselves. The Bauer siblings distributed the samples to everyone in the room to try.

"All the ingredients and materials we use in our products are 100% pure and natural. In order to make them into the formulas, they undergo chemical changes through naturally occurring biological processes, never synthetic ones. Alric and Amanpio have developed technology and equipment to make these processes more effective and refined. The patents for their technology are already pending for approval. This means that we are the only one in the world at the moment who use this technology to make our products."

The COO’s dazed eyes started to clear as he listened more of Iris’ presentation. He was very impressed by her confidence, eloquence, and just her overall bearing in presenting her business in clear and direct to the point manner. Her explanations were very thorough yet also easy to understand.

As for Long Tengfei, he could barely contain his pride from showing on his face. It was taking all of his effort not burst into loud cheers at how amazing his daughter was performing in front of them.
