Chapter 1428 How Loyal of Them

Iris' eyebrow rose. "You made them offers to join our LXC Studio?"

"No," Jin Chonglin replied.

"Then...?"

"Other talent agencies apparently contacted them and offered favourable contracts, but they didn't accept any of the offers," he explained. "Ren Jiyu and the others are interested in entering s...o...b..z, though. They said that they're big fans of yours, so if they're going to sign with a talent management company, then they might as well sign with LXC Studio because they trust you more than anyone else in the industry."

Iris smiled. "Oh, I see. How loyal of them. My Black Stars are indeed the best."

He snorted but didn't refute her claim. Of course, in his own mind, he thought that his own army of fans was the best, but the Black Stars were a close second. The infamous fans of Iris Long could indeed contend with his army of fans when it came to loyalty and organization.

Iris had no problem with signing Ren Jiyu and his teammates with LXC Studio. She appreciated their loyalty to her as members of her Black Stars fan club.

If they wanted to sign with her own entertainment company, then she would welcome them with open arms.

Although Ren Jiyu and his teammates weren't trained actors or musicians, they were still veritable members of the national shooting team which won the silver medal from the last world champions.h.i.+ps and brought back glory to the country.

Their current popularity as a team was still on the rise, especially with the launch of their Orchidia Beauty endors.e.m.e.nts. Not to mention that Ren Jiyu, the youngest member among them, was so charismatic. Almost all variety and talk shows wanted to invite and interview him.

As the bosses of LXC Studio and as famous celebrities themselves, both Iris and Jin Chonglin understood how to utilize this kind of momentary public interest and turn it into lasting fame.

Jin Chonglin was especially adept at it with his own experience as a superstar.

Ren Jiyu and the other members of the national shooting team were active athletes, so their self-discipline, motivation, and dedication to work hard were unquestionable. Iris felt more a.s.sured of having them as signed talents rather than untested trainees. At least, she wouldn't question their work ethics.

"I'll get the contracts ready and arrange a press conference for their official signing with our studio," Jin Chonglin said.

"Good," Iris replied. "I want it done as soon as possible."

"Yeah."

"Let me know the details once everything is finalized. I'll attend the official signing."

"Suit yourself."

The conversation about signing the national shooting team was finally over. Iris still wanted to ask her brother-in-law about his relations.h.i.+p with Chen Fei, but it seemed that Jin Chonglin somehow sensed it, so he quickly ended the phone call before she could open up the topic.

She sighed, feeling a little regretful.

Then her attention s.h.i.+fted to the door when someone knocked and opened it.

Popcorn flew like an orange rocket followed by the three puppiesPudding, Chowder, and Ham.

Jin Liwei caught Popcorn and smiled at the puppies who were wagging their tails while circling his feet.

"Papa!" Little Jun also ran to his G.o.dfather.

"Dada! Dada!! Dada!!!" Little Mochi followed behind.

Even the usually quiet and indifferent Little Matcha threw his toy car and crawled to his father.

Jin Liwei's eyes softened when he saw the children abandon their toys aside to welcome him home.

He took his time giving each child a kiss and a hug. His twin boys each hugged one of his legs. He scooped them up and carried them in each arm.

Little Mochi babbled and gestured wildly. Jin Liwei had no idea what his eldest twin son was saying, but he could tell from the baby's excitement that Little Mochi was regaling him with his little adventures throughout the morning.

He glanced at his other son.

Little Matcha was content hugging his neck. The baby who resembled him the most also took after his personality. Both the father and son were indifferent to other people but were quite possessive and affectionate only to their loved ones.

Little Jun already returned to playing with Popcorn and the puppies. Seeing this, the twins also wanted to be put down.

Jin Liwei chuckled before carefully allowing them to crawl back to their elder cousin and play together.

"Hi, Sir Boss!" Dom greeted.

"Meow," Ice Cream also greeted him before quickly returning to her ever-important beauty sleep.

Jin Liwei nodded at them before walking straight to his wife sitting by the piano. He pulled Iris into his embrace and inhaled her scent.

How fragrant!

His wife always smelled good. But she smelled extra nice today (courtesy of Libert's latest perfume prototype sent by Clover from France for approval).

He couldn't help but kiss his wife before sighing in contentment.

"Welcome back, darling," Iris said with a smile.

"I'm home, love," he replied, giving her a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth.

The family walked to the dining area for lunch.

After eating, the nannies took the children and the pets away for an afternoon nap in the nursery. Dom left to give the husband and wife some privacy.

Iris and Jin Liwei enjoyed some digestive tea while chatting.

Then Ketchup interrupted them, "Excuse me, Mommy and Daddy, but Grandma Wei Lan is calling Daddy's phone. Does Mommy and Daddy want the cute and mighty Ketchup to answer it or ignore it? Meow~"

Jin Liwei glanced at his wife, letting her decide what to do.

Iris tilted her head to the side. "She always treats you like her own child more than me. She'd rather call you directly than speak with me."

He chuckled. "Because you always leave her speechless. Besides, you don't really consider her your mother anyway."

"True." She didn't refute it. "I also only speak the truth to her. If that makes her want to avoid me, then I can't do anything about it, nor do I care."

"Then don't care if you don't want to." He took her hand and kissed it. "Let me handle Wei Lan. She's still my mother-in-law in the eyes of the people after all."
