Chapter 1605: Offers

Now that the family was back in their own home, Iris Long and Jin Liwei finally returned to their usual work and life routines.

Iris continued working on her album with Enrique Valdez while juggling her businesses at the same time.

In order to accommodate her schedule, the Chua family had decided to delay the launch of Orchidia Philippines.

She hadn’t asked for it and was already prepared to miss it like the launch of Orchidia Germany. However, Linda Chua, now the CEO of Orchidia Philippines, insisted on delaying the launch so that Iris could attend it. It wasn’t only Linda. The entire Chua family was looking forward to Iris going to the Philippines to attend the launch of Orchidia Philippines. They also wanted to show her around their country and the Filipino people’s warm hospitality.

Iris couldn’t reject their invitation because she had also been looking forward to it for a long time now.

Following their example, the leaders of Orchidia Singapore followed suit and delayed the launch. Because Jasper Leung was the one who recruited them, the majority of Orchidia Singapore’s executives were Black Stars. They had also been looking forward to meeting their Boss Iris in person. Delaying the launch wasn’t that big of an issue, according to them. In fact, they believed that their Boss Iris’ presence at the launch would only make the company succeed even more in Singapore.

Iris couldn’t help but feel touched.

Although she would never regret missing the launch of Orchidia Germany to be there for her husband while their family grieved over Grandma Li, it still ended up being a thorn in her heart.

Now that she was given an opportunity to make up for it with the launches of Orchidia Philippines and Orchidia Singapore, of course, she felt excited.

"Dom, have the arrangements for our trips to the Philippines and Singapore completed yet?" she asked while sitting in the van’s back passenger seat on their way to the recording studio.

"Yes, Boss!" Dom said while tapping on his work tablet. "But Boss, there are some offers that might interest you."

Iris raised an eyebrow, feeling intrigued. "What offers?"

"Ever since my sister confirmed that you’ll be attending the launch, the Black Stars Philippines have been promoting Orchidia Philippines nonstop. They even rented several billboard spaces all throughout the country to welcome you. At first, I thought my family was involved in it, especially my sister who’s a marketing expert. But my sister Linda swears that she didn’t have anything to do with it. The company has their own advertising strategy and these custom billboards aren’t part of it. She says that it’s all the doing of your fans, boss. They can’t wait to see you in person."

Iris took the tablet from Dom. He showed her a lot of photos and videos of Filipino Black Stars posing in front of billboards with her face on them. Seeing that her face and name were more prominent than the Orchidia brand, she understood that this was indeed the work of her fans.

A smile blossomed on her face.

"I can’t wait to meet the Filipino Black Stars," she said.

Dom also smiled while taking back his tablet from her. "Boss, do you want to hear about the offers?"

"Right." She nodded. "Tell me about them."

"Because of the billboards all over the country, the local media became interested. After asking around, they learned about your plan to come to the Philippines. Of course, my sister had already bought air time for commercial TV ads in advance but they haven’t aired yet. She didn’t expect that the media would contact her first and actively ask about you."

Iris nodded but didn’t speak. She waited for Dom to finish explaining first.

Dom continued, "After the media discovered that you were the original singer of the theme song of the drama ’Our Love, Our Destiny’ with Prince Lin Lin, they want to invite you for interviews. Here is the list of the TV programs that want to invite you. My family and I already screened them and filtered out the minor and disreputable ones."

She took the tablet again and read out the list. Included were brief background information about the TV program and the hosts. As expected of Dom, he had always been meticulous when it came to helping manage her life and career.

"Looks interesting," she said while returning the tablet to him. "As long as you can fit them into my schedule, then I’ll gladly accept the interview offers."

Dom beamed. "No worries, Boss! Leave everything to me. I’ll make sure to arrange everything, including your rest time."

"I know." She leaned back in her seat.

"Mr. Xu Tian has also confirmed Sir Boss’ schedule. Sir Boss will be able to accompany you to the Philippines and Singapore."

She nodded. Her husband had already mentioned to her that he would accompany her.

"However," Dom continued. "Sir Boss won’t be able to fly with you on the same day as he has an important meeting. He’ll follow you to the Philippines after two days. Will that be fine with you, Boss?"

"Yes, it’s fine."

She knew that her husband was extremely busy especially after Grandma Li passed away. At first, she didn’t want to bother him. She could travel to the Philippines and Singapore with her own team.

These two countries were also not that far unlike Europe. It was fine to leave her babies at home with her mother-in-law who was now staying with them. If she missed her babies, she could always hop on a plane and have a quick flight to see them before flying back to fulfill her work commitments. It would be tiring, yes, but worth it.

However, Jin Liwei insisted on coming with her.

"I wonder if we should take the twins," she murmured, but after thinking about it, she shook her head. "Never mind. I had never been to the Philippines yet. This is my first time. I’ll see how it is there first before bringing my children."

Dom also agreed with her. "This is a work trip. We can always bring the kiddos next time on our next family trip. The babies will enjoy it more."

"You’re right, Dom."
