Chapter 1442 For The Sake of The Children
The CMO was actually giving her an opportunity. It was up to Iris whether she could grab it or not.
Of course, she was going to grab it.
Long Tengfei turned his head back to her and gave her an approving nod before continue to walk and speak with the others. Even some of the other chief executives, including Long Jian's direct superior, the COO, gave her friendly smiles.
She responded in kind, not at all bothered by the other ones who wore unpleasant expressions.
"Not bad," Long Jian whispered to her as they walked together.
"Thanks." She accepted his modest praise for her successful marketing presentation where she absolutely killed it.
"The new CMO isn't bad either," he said. "He's just strict. He's actually quite similar to my boss, the COO. They're quite fair in that regard. Your superior's face just look like someone always owes him money, but I heard that's just his natural expression. As for the others, well, I'm sure you know which side they're standing on based on how they kept trying to sabotage you."
Iris glanced at the other figure walking on the other side.
Long Hui appeared thinner and grimmer, but he still retained his good looks. Despite all the setbacks he suffered in the past year, he still had plenty of loyal allies remaining by his side. His foundation in the Long clan and Long Industries as the heir apparent wasn't so easily uprooted by just anyone.
His group glanced at Iris and Long Jian with barely concealed hostility.
The two camps had a brief stare-down before completely ignoring each other.
Bystanders could feel the bad blood between them.
Long Hui and his allies all had unpleasant expressions. They weren't pleased that Iris was parachuted to the position of Deputy Chief Marketing Officer out of nowhere. Worse, it appeared that she was killing it in her new position.
Her marketing proposal was so excellent that it immediately got approved by the chief executives. Even when they tried to poke holes on her proposal, she always had a solution ready. To be honest, even they themselves thought that it was a superb proposal. If only it wasn't created and presented by their enemy.
One of them even tried to remain stubborn and oppose the proposal no matter what but was shut down by the CMO with no mercy. They were all in shock because they thought that they would be able to tempt the CMO to join their camp especially after knowing that he had been hoping to promote his own protg as his deputy but was blocked by Iris' sudden promotion instead.
They didn't expect that he would remain loyal to the Marketing Team. Now that Iris Long was an official member of his team, then he would back her up from now on. It seemed that for him, it didn't matter who was in the position as long as the person did the job properly and didn't shame his team. That was the most important thing to the new CMO.
Upon discovering this, Long Hui and his allies could only grit their teeth and swallow this loss. Next time, they would surely block Iris Long and prevent her from building her influence within the company.
As for Iris, she didn't give a whit about what they thought about her. She was happy that her marketing proposal received approval on the spot. Just like what she expected.
No revisions were needed. In short, she would now have a bit more time to spend with her family.
And to Long Hui's credit, he stopped actively making trouble for her ever since he visited Dragon Palace back then and met his two sets of twin nephewsthe Jin and the Lu twinsfor the first time back then. The adults had a tacit understanding to have a ceasefire that night for the sake of the children, especially Little Jun.
It was only his allies who continued to openly oppose her during the presentation. Long Hui remained silent all throughout, although his expression looked like he had eaten something disgusting.
Iris didn't know if Long Hui had a realization to change for the better. If he did, then that was great. If not, then too bad.
Either way, she would still continue to forge ahead in her plans of taking over Long Industries.
What if he was just pretending?
She didn't want to risk accepting him again at this point only to be backstabbed.
Dom and the bodyguards met with her and they all headed to the underground parking.
News of her frequent attendance at Long Industries had already been long spread. Reporters, Black Stars, and some curious bystanders began to surround the company entrance in the hopes of seeing her in person.
Usually, Iris would have loved to spend a few minutes meeting and interacting with her fans but she lacked free time these days. She was so busy with so many things that 24 hours was barely enough to fit everything she needed to do in a day.
In addition, she wanted to prioritize quality time with her family. This was non-negotiable for her and Jin Liwei after the birth of their twins. They both agreed to arrange a few hours each day to spend time together as a family.
Jin Liwei was actually more flexible than her.
As the big boss, he had more freedom in arranging his schedule to his advantage. Iris was also a big boss but the majority of her businesses were still relatively new compared to the long-established Jin Corporation.
Her businesses frequently needed her attention. Good thing that she had Dom and her two AI cat children, Ketchup and Bacon, who were always such great help in lessening her burden. They often helped her in delegating tasks to the right staff members. freReadNovelFull.com
"This way, boss," Dom interrupted her thoughts and waited for her to get inside their parked vehicle.
"You're here?" Iris asked while throwing herself at the man waiting for her inside the car.
