Chapter 546 - What About You?

The inconsiderate couple was once again throwing dogfood left and right, not thinking about the situation of all the single dogs present. Squeals and whistles sounded throughout the entire grand hall at their lovey-dovey actions.

To those who could differentiate the minute differences in Jin Liwei's seemingly perpetual cold expression, they could see that he was very smug right now. Iris looked a little shy but not ashamed of declaring their love for each other in public. It wasn't like this was the first time that she said "I love you" to him during a speech. She already did this a few times before. Even when the public still had no idea who her fianc was, she was already vocal about her love for him.

There were so many who were envious of Iris Long at the moment, especially those who saw Jin Liwei mouthing "I love you, too" to her.

'She's so lucky to have caught CEO Jin Liwei's eyes,' they thought.

Iris had an idea of what they were thinking. She knew that most of them were still unconvinced about her ability to run her own business, thinking that she was using her relationship with Jin Liwei and her connection to Grandpa Lu.

She could just reveal that she was a Cross Academy student, of course, but she decided not tofor now. This status of being a Cross Academy student was already a lofty title in itself that was more prestigious than her relationship to either Jin Liwei or Grandpa Lu in proving her abilities to the public. But that was also why she didn't want to reveal it yet.

Orchidia Beauty was still a new company. She wanted to prove to everyone first that her company could be successful because of her abilities alone without any lofty title. Yes, there were a lot of skepticism right now but she was confident that she could prove herself and her company.

'I'll show everyone what I can do.'

Once Orchidia Beauty became successful, only then would she reveal her status as a Cross Academy student. She predicted that it would give her company an even greater boost if she did that.

This was a case of delayed gratification versus instant gratification. She would rather wait and use her ultimate weapon in the end to establish an unshakeable foothold for her company, rather than use her status right now to skyrocket Orchidia Beauty's popularity in a short period of time.

This was why she didn't give a whit about the people's skepticism. As long as she believed in herself, she could create her own star and build a galaxy around it.

By herself, she could fly and soar as freely and as high as she wanted. But with Jin Liwei beside her, she felt like she had powerful rocket boosters supercharging her wings, making her reach higher and even break limits to reach new heights.

Back to the present, Iris thanked the rest of her and Jin Liwei's families, friends and acquaintances who attended the launch of her company before ending her speech.

Then the Chua siblings took over.

"It's time! OMG, it's almost TIME!!!" Dom exclaimed, fanning himself dramatically with one hand while his other hand held the mic.

"Calm down, Big Bro!" Clover scolded her brother before looking at someone below the stage. "Are we live now?"

A man holding a camera directly in front of them gave a thumbs up.

"Alright, we're now livestreaming on our official Orchidia Beauty website and social media accounts!" Clover announced.

There were also others who had been livestreaming the event inside the grand hall since the beginning, mostly the members of the media who had the official press badges. The beauty influencers and other celebrities among the guests also livestreamed now and then.

'Why compete with us?! Why?!!!'the others could only cry in their hearts.

Then a huge white screen above the stage lit up and showed a countdown of five minutes.

Dom called Jin Chonglin to join them on stage. He stood beside Iris, flashing everyone his famous killer smile that never failed to make at least one person swoon. Indeed, as if on cue, someone immediately fainted in the audience from seeing his smile.

Although Iris was the Owner, President and CEO of Orchidia Beauty, she was also one of its endorsers alongside Jin Chonglin. The two of them were the current faces of the company.

Moments later, a table was wheeled to the centre of the stage. It was covered with a blanket printed with the lovely logo of Orchidia Beauty designed by Meimei. The logo looked like an orchid but also a silhouette of woman's face in one. It was a very clever design.

Dom: "Ladies and gentlemen, behold Orchidia Beauty's first products!!!!!"

Iris and Jin Chonglin lifted the blanket at the same time, tossing it behind them. The company's first products were revealed to everyone.

Loud applause and cheers.

They were complete facial skincare sets.

Toner. Plant-based essence. Stable Vitamin C serum. Eye cream. Biodegradable sheet masks. Moisturizer.

All natural mineral-based sunscreen lotion. And finally, sleep mask cream.

There were five sets for each of the five most common skin types.

Normal.

Oily.

Dry.

Combination.

Sensitive.

All five sets had no "flavours". At this stage, they were all considered as the "basic original", but the fact that there were complete sets available for the five most common skin types was already impressive especially for a first launch.

"We are planning to release more variety and give all of you more choices in the future, but for now, please enjoy our basic sets," Iris Long told everyone. "We will also have more products in the future for our every skincare needs, not just for the face. So please stay tuned!"

She called the sets "basic" but to the people present, including the beauty influencers who considered themselves to be semi-experts in this area, they weren't basic at all. They already tried the products before when they received the PR packages during the summer. If Orchidia Beauty dared to call their products as "basic", then the other facial skincare products available in the market right now could only be called as "primitive".

Jin Chonglin picked up the set for the combination skin type.

"I know that many of you have noticed that I've become even more handsome lately. It's actually because I've been using Orchidia Beauty products. Now you know!"

Deafening cheers and applause...and laughter.

Jin Chonglin had extensive experience as an endorser. He immediately did his job even without Iris' prompting. In fact, he even threw a look of challenge at her.

'Look at me. I'm doing my job. What about you?' his expression seemed to tell her.

Iris ignored him. She built the entire company from the ground up. What about him?
