Chapter 1511 Liberté Launches (Part I)
Walking beside the couple was Sir Lu Jianhong, one of the original founders of Jin Corporation. The superstar Jin Chonglin, CEO Liam Jin\'s younger brother, also came with his current girlfriend. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The guests heard that Jin Chonglin\'s current girlfriend was the Chief Operating Officer of Madame Jin\'s other company.
The female guests took a not-so-subtle look at Chen Fei.
Their expressions said that they didn\'t think much of her appearance. Based on physical appearance alone, she certainly didn\'t match up to Jin Chonglin.
However, those who weren\'t quick to judge based on appearance alone could sense that the woman was as sharp as an ice pick. Her eyes didn\'t waver despite the judgmental gazes directed toward her.
Like Iris Long, natural confidence oozed from the woman named Chen Fei.
Maybe this was the reason why the playboy superstar, Jin Chonglin, fell for a rather plain-looking woman. She was different from his exes, that was for sure.
There was also another rather plain-looking woman coming in with the group. She was Yin Meixing, Liberté\'s first female ambassador besides Madame Jin. She came with her manager.
Most of the guests attending today were frequent attendees of the yearly Sommet International Film Festival. The year when the Chinese film, "Strong Yet Broken", won so many awards was probably the first time that they heard about Iris Long.
She hadn\'t married CEO Jin yet at that time, but they were already together. Some remembered that it was the first time that the couple revealed their relationship to the public.
It was reported that CEO Jin created an independent film production company just to support his girlfriend at that time who signed a contract to make the soundtrack for the indie film about the life story of a Chinese Paralympian\'s mother.
In the end, "Strong Yet Broken" broke through to become that year\'s dark horse. Iris Long also won the Best Soundtrack Award for her work in the film.
Similarly, Yin Meixing, the woman who played the film\'s female lead, the Chinese Paralympian\'s mother, also won the most-coveted Best Actress Award.
This must be why despite looking rather plain in appearance, especially when standing beside the drop-dead gorgeous Iris Long, Yin Meixing carried herself with a kind of quiet elegance and confidence.
She might look plain at first glance, but the more one looked at her, the more beautiful she appeared. She was that kind of subtle beauty.
As the owner of Liberté, Iris Long, now Madame Jin, took the initiative in greeting all the guests. Liberté\'s CEO, Clover Chua, joined her in welcoming everyone before the official start of the launch party.
CEO Liam Jin, Iris Long\'s billionaire husband and the one who apparently bought the bankrupted Sang Bleu before gifting it to his beloved wife, took on the role of loyal escort, accompanying her wherever she went. He also allowed her to lead the conversations and only spoke when asked directly.
He was definitely different from most of the billionaires who loved being the star of the show and only regarded their wives/girlfriends/mistresses as arm candies.
Due to his cue of letting his wife take the lead, the others followed suit and spoke directly to Madame Jin.
The guests who weren\'t familiar with her kept their opinions to themselves.
No matter what they thought about her, she was still a billionaire\'s wife and the host of today\'s event.
This party wasn\'t just for launching a rebranded perfumery, it was a highly sought-after networking event for the members of high society\'s top of the pyramid.
In addition, the legendary Sir Lu Jianhong introduced Iris Long as his beloved disciple. Once they heard him say this, their attitudes toward Iris Long instantly became many times better.
After personally greeting the guests, Iris\' group headed to their own tables. Grandpa Lu joined his old friends at a nearby table instead.
"My big bro didn\'t come today?" Clover asked.
"Dom volunteered to stay home to watch the twins with the nannies," Iris replied. "Little Mochi refused to let me and his dad leave, so Dom had to step in and try to distract him. Little Matcha is fine, but you know Little Mochi when he gets clingy."
Clover nodded. She was about to comment, but her assistant gestured at her from near the stage. Glancing at her wristwatch, she gasped a little. "Boss, it\'s almost time!"
"Go on, then. Let\'s start on time." Iris smiled, excitement glittering in her eyes.
Clover beamed at her before hurrying to follow her assistant. The ushers gently led everyone back to their assigned tables.
This time, Ashandra Knightson arrived by herself, instantly redirecting all the attention to her.
She was a famous living artist known for her genius integration of various traditional and newly invented art forms. Another thing that she was famous for besides being a best-selling genius artist was her beauty.
Various men had attempted to pursue her, even after knowing that she was a divorcée, but nobody succeeded. Sure, she would occasionally date someone, but these relationships remained mostly casual and none of them developed into something more.
The guests watched as Ashandra Knightson followed the usher who guided her directly to the same table as Iris Long and CEO Liam Jin.
A few were aware that Iris Long and Ashandra Knightson were good friends, especially those who were connected to Cross Academy, but most of the guests weren\'t aware of this fact.
They thought that Ashandra Knightson came because of CEO Jin\'s connections.
Unfortunately, their expectations were dashed as Ashandra greeted Iris Long, giving her a tight hug. The two acted like sisters. She barely noticed CEO Jin beside Iris Long.
"Am I late?" Ashandra asked as she sat down beside Iris.
"No, you\'re just in time," Iris told her. "Clover is doing a last-minute check backstage before starting the launch."
Ashandra let out a relieved sigh. "I\'m sorry for not getting ready on time. I must have been drunker than I thought last night. I didn\'t want you to be late waiting for me to finish getting ready, so I let you leave earlier."
