Chapter 1435 You’re a Black Star, Aren’t You?
Iris could feel the other party\'s eyes inspecting her, but she wasn\'t fazed. At least, she could sense that the CMO wasn\'t overtly hostile to her. Although she didn\'t know the CMO as a person yet, based on the background investigations she and her AI cat children conducted, he was always professional and took his work seriously. This kind of person wouldn\'t backstab other people for his gain.
She hoped that he was as she expected.
If he was, then she just needed to display her high standard of professionalism and abilities.
Besides, what others thought of her wasn\'t her business.
As long as she accomplished her tasks, she didn\'t care about people\'s opinions about her in this company.
Her goal at Long Industries was different compared to her goals for her own businesses.
She only viewed herself as a temporary vessel to acquire the company and run it for a few years before handing it to the next successor.
If Little Jun grew up to be a competent leader, then she would hand the company to her godson in a heartbeat. But if the child wasn\'t interested, she could still find and groom other potential candidates and choose the best among them.
As long as it wasn\'t Long Hui or any of his greedy minions, Iris had no problem handing over the responsibility of running Long Industries to another competent leader. But the person must pass her high criteria first.
The introductions at the President\'s office were very brief.
Long Tengfei simply made the introductions. His move was meant as a signal to the new CMO that he was backing his youngest daughter and the CMO better take care of her. The CMO pretended not to notice. His expression looked stern right from the start.
Long Jian looked like he still wanted to say something to Iris, but the CMO already led her away to her new office.
The CMO was her direct superior. He was very perfunctory in introducing her to their team, but Iris didn\'t mind.
They immediately convened in the conference room. The CMO handed her a folder containing a series of documents.
"These are the company\'s current marketing plans. We plan to expand our shipping routes in Europe and renew our current partnerships in Asia and North America. The current routes in the other continents will remain as they are for now. Review each of the plans, make suggestions as you see fit for our team to review, and then present the finalized plans next week."
Iris didn\'t change her expression as she opened the folder and began speed-reading the documents.
The CMO and the others didn\'t know whether she was just pretending to be calm or if she was really confident in her new position in the company.
To be honest, most of them were disgruntled upon learning that she was parachuted by her father, especially those who were vying for the position of Deputy CMO. Those ones believed that they were more competent and qualified to become the new Deputy Chief Marketing Officer than her.
When they first learned that President Long Tengfei assigned his celebrity daughter, Iris Long, to be the next Deputy CMO, they thought that it was an absurd decision.
But what could they do? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The higher-ups were the ones making the major decisions. They just needed to obey whether they liked it or not.
As for working with Iris Long, they would just close one eye and pretend to be harmonious with her.
No matter how dissatisfied they felt at her sudden promotion, she was still the President\'s daughter after all.
What happened was clear nepotism.
Those who claimed otherwise were either blind or a fool.
They just hoped that she wouldn\'t drag their team down too much. As long as she wouldn\'t rock the boat too much, then they could ignore her other inadequacies.
Most importantly, they didn\'t want to offend her because she had the biggest backer in the country\'s business world—her husband, Jin Liwei of Jin Corporation.
CEO Jin was known to blacklist individuals that offended him before. They were all corporate workers. It wasn\'t worth it to offend an overbearing ancestor like CEO Jin.
It was true that when the gods fought, the mortals would be the ones to suffer the most.
Iris might not hear their thoughts, but she could sense them.
She didn\'t care. All she cared about was familiarizing herself with her new workplace. She was already grateful that the CMO was professional enough and even prepared this mini-orientation for her.
They might not believe in her yet, but at least they respected her enough not to openly give her a bad attitude.
Afterward, she immediately went to work in her newly assigned office.
They were very thorough and even assigned an assistant to her, albeit it was a newbie.
"B-boss, do you need me to do something for you?" The assistant was eager to please.
Iris glanced at her and blinked a few times. "Hmmm. You look familiar. Have we met before?"
The nervous assistant\'s eyes lit up, but was unable to reply to her question immediately.
Iris was unsure whether her new assistant was too timid or too excited. Although Iris wasn\'t too pleased at the assistant\'s apparent timidity, she decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and allow the person some time to display her abilities. The most important thing was that Iris could sense the assistant\'s sincerity in her desire to please her.
"Go and ask Dom about my preferences," Iris ended up telling her.
"Understood, Boss Iris!"
Dom returned to her side after she started to settle in her new office. She watched as her new assistant spoke with Dom.
Then it struck her why the person looked familiar.
When her new assistant returned with a cup of hot black tea made from tea leaves that Dom especially bought from home, Iris smiled at her.
"I remember you now," she said. "You\'re a Black Star, aren\'t you?"
