His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1658: What’s My Reward?

Linda Chua had secured several influencers, models, and local celebrities as the debut endorsers for Orchidia Philippines before the grand opening took place. Their promotional posters were displayed throughout the boutique, positioned right behind the specific products they represented.

Despite the presence of these local stars, the most striking images featured the company’s founder, Iris Long.

Upon meeting her in person, the Filipino endorsers were immediately star-struck, even though they were famous in their own right. Her complexion was staggering, leaving even the most seasoned beauties impressed.

While every one of them had sought cosmetic treatments to perfect their skin, none could rival Iris Long. Her skin possessed a smoothness, fairness, and vitality that surpassed them all. It gave the impression that it was so hydrated, fresh water might spring forth if it were squeezed.

After signing their contracts with Orchidia Philippines, the endorsers were given early access to the products. Regardless of whether they represented Orchidia Beauty, Orchidia Mommy, or Orchidia Baby, they received a full range of items from every brand, including Liberté fragrances.

The quality of every item was undeniable. There were no reports of allergic reactions or negative side effects among the group.

Within just a few days, the Orchidia Beauty line visibly enhanced their skin and hair. Furthermore, the volume of product provided was superior to foreign competitors at the same price point, ensuring customers would feel they received excellent value for their money.

The endorsers with children were particularly thrilled with the Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby collections. Every piece was crafted from premium, non-toxic materials, with designs that emphasized the safety and luxury of both mother and child. The new mosquito-repellent line quickly became a favorite among them.

Regarding the Liberté brand, Linda Chua had not signed any local endorsers. Currently, the fragrance house only featured three distinct lines.

Iris Long served as the global ambassador for Eve.

Yin Meixing represented Sérénité.

Finally, Jin Chonglin was the face of the masculine fragrance, Vaillance.

Large-scale posters of these three global icons were showcased across the Liberté department alongside the various scents.

Iris spent time socializing with the guests, including the new local endorsers. They expressed their pride in joining the Orchidia Philippines family, and she listened intently as they recounted their positive experiences using the different brands.

Eventually, Iris found a moment to speak privately with Linda.

Maintaining his plan, Jin Liwei remained in the background to let Iris take center stage. He stayed near Paul Ferrer, keeping an eye on the two young rascals.

“What are your thoughts, Xiulan—I mean, Iris?” Linda inquired.

“It’s wonderful, Linda,” Iris answered with a bright smile. “You have done a fantastic job.”

Linda gestured toward a male and female celebrity on the other side of the room. “Those two are currently the top actor and actress in the Philippines.”

Iris took a look at them. She recalled the files Ketchup had provided before their trip. Their reputations were spotless, and their histories were clean. “They are even more striking in person than in their photographs.”

“They don't fit the typical beauty mold, but the public adores them. They are hard workers who rose from the bottom, unlike those who achieve instant fame only to vanish two years later. They started their careers young and built their reputations steadily until they reached the peak. It is quite a feat.”

“It truly is.”

“So?” Linda asked, her expression full of hope.

Iris let out a small laugh. “Very well, they have my approval.”

“Yes!” Linda nearly celebrated with a dance, but quickly composed herself.

As the president of a multinational branch, she had to maintain a professional image in front of the public.

“I will send the formal invitations to their management teams immediately,” Linda stated.

“Keep me posted,” Iris said. “If they agree, I will arrange for them to visit Paris. Clover can give them a tour of the Liberté headquarters. After that, we can begin crafting a new perfume line specifically tailored for the Filipino market.”

“Leave it to me, Iris. I’ll ensure we get the most favorable terms during the negotiations.”

“I know you will.” Iris gave Linda a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “I have full confidence in you.”

Internally, Linda was overjoyed. This proposal was something she had fought for passionately—the creation of products exclusive to the local market.

Using Liberté as the starting point was the most logical path, especially since her sister headed that brand. Together, Linda and Clover, with support from Dom, had finally convinced Iris to explore the concept.

Linda had meticulously prepared her pitch, vetting numerous celebrities before choosing the perfect candidates to represent Liberté in the Philippines.

The actor and actress present today had no clue they were being scouted for global ambassadorships. They assumed they were simply guests helping to promote the launch. For them, being associated with a trending global brand was already a massive boost to their careers.

Linda was delighted with her choices. Now that Iris Long had given the green light, she was eager to start the contract talks.

If the Liberté project succeeded, she planned to use that momentum to develop more products for the local region. Her goal was to make the Philippines division a unique pillar of the global Orchidia empire.

Soon, the shop doors opened to the public. Security was tight, with only a limited number of shoppers permitted inside at once.

Expecting a massive turnout, Linda had ensured the stock was plentiful. Even with limits on how much each person could buy, the queues outside seemed to stretch on forever.

“Please keep in mind that our full catalog is available online,” the staff informed the waiting crowd. “We are providing discount codes for every purchase made today.”

The crowd responded with cheers.

Iris Long spent time signing autographs and posing for photos with the Black Stars. She engaged in conversation with them, making an effort to connect with as many fans as possible.

Long-time Black Stars often claimed that Boss Iris remembered them after only a single meeting. This personal touch was why her fans were so fiercely loyal; they could feel that her affection for them was genuine and not a calculated act.

She was the real deal.

Now, the Filipino Black Stars were witnessing her kindness firsthand. They were surprised by how approachable she was. Despite the imposing bodyguards behind her, the fans felt at ease. As disciplined Black Stars, they would never do anything to threaten her safety, so there was no conflict with her security team.

As the day progressed, the invited guests departed, but Iris and Jin Liwei remained at the office with the Chua family.

Domingo Chua arrived with Lin Yehan after their business meeting concluded.

“How did your meeting go?” Reina asked her husband.

Domingo gave a thumbs-up. “It went well, but I am starving.”

“I’ll fetch you some food. Stay here and play with your grandchildren.”

Reina went to get some refreshments while Domingo joined Marjorie’s children.

Lin Yehan approached his wife. Because Jiang Ying Yue was working, he could only hold her hand, holding back the desire to kiss her in such a public setting. He knew she didn't share the same lack of inhibition as his Third Brother and Sister-in-law.

Jiang Ying Yue looked at him, silently asking for an update.

“Everything was successful,” he whispered.

She let out a breath of relief.

“Only the contract signing remains,” he added. “Then this business trip will be a complete success.”

“That’s wonderful. Congratulations.”

“Thank you, wife.”

Iris observed the couple’s affectionate gaze. “Ying Yue, go and look after your husband. Aunt Reina is already getting food for Uncle Domingo. You should guide Eldest Brother to the buffet as well.”

“But I am still working—”

“I’m giving you the rest of the day off,” Iris cut in. “My husband is right here. He won’t let anything happen to me.”

“En.” Jin Liwei agreed with a nod.

After a brief hesitation, Jiang Ying Yue nodded. She signaled to her team before heading toward the food with Lin Yehan.

“Are you exhausted, love?” Jin Liwei asked, leaning down toward her.

“Not at all. I’m very happy.” She gestured toward the thriving store.

The employees were busy replenishing the shelves as each new group of shoppers entered.

Jin Liwei smiled. “Congratulations, love. I am incredibly proud of you.”

“What is my prize?” Iris asked playfully.

He arched an eyebrow. “What do you desire? Everything I own is already yours. But if there is something I don't have, I will find it for you.”

“What if I told you I wanted another baby?”

He went still for a moment before asking, “Are you being serious?”

She laughed. “I’m only teasing! Childbirth is far too painful. I have no wish to go through that again. Between the twins and our other children, we have more than enough.”

Jin Liwei felt his heart rate return to normal. “En, I never want to see you endure that suffering again. Our children are enough. More than enough.”
