His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1436  Level of Productivity

The new assistant gasped and became teary-eyed. "I didn't think that you'll remember me, Boss Iris."

"Of course, I remember you." Iris took a sip from her cup of tea. "I've seen you a couple of times supporting me in the audience when I attended some talk shows before I took hiatus from showbiz."

The new assistant became even more excited and pledged her undying loyalty to Iris.

"I originally wanted to apply to Orchidia, but my college mentor knows your father, President Long Tengfei, and recommended me to work for you as your new assistant here at Long Industries instead. It's very sudden and I only got the call last night, but I immediately accepted the job. I hope that you can depend on me like how you depend on Brother Dom."

"Please take care of me, then," Iris said with a sincere smile.

The new assistant beamed.

Now that Iris knew that her new assistant was a Black Star, her initial misgiving about the person's apparent timidity disappeared. She didn't stand on ceremony and immediately assigned some tasks to this new assistant of hers.

In the meantime, Ketchup also worked fast and gathered background information about the young woman. Iris read through it and couldn't help but nod in approval.

The young woman's education was quite impressive. Top three of her entire batch in university. Not bad.

Iris didn't think that working as her assistant was a downgrade for a new graduate with good prospects. As long as the young woman could prove herself, then Iris would give her better opportunities to climb the corporate ladder in the future.

This was only the first day.

Black Star or not, Iris intended to test her new assistant's abilities. If she was reliable, then she would keep her. If not, then she would let her go. Simple as that.

Nevertheless, the background information that Ketchup gathered showed that the new assistant was quite promising. Her background was also clean.

Only time would tell if the young woman would be able to satisfy Iris.

"Dom, show her the ropes about how I want things done," she instructed.

"No problem, Boss!" Dom gave her an okay sign with his fingers.

Iris returned to her own tasks.

The CMO and the others might not believe in her abilities yet, but she was satisfied with this job appointment. Only a fool would reject Long Tengfei's goodwill of directly appointing her as the Deputy Chief Marketing Officer.

Long Tengfei didn't assign her this position just for the sake of giving her a job title with actual power. He actually thought it through.

She was a celebrity.

What better way to utilize her fame than to assign her to the Marketing Department?

This way, she would be able to perform well and show results quickly.

Iris understood Long Tengfei's thought process. Even though she didn't need such careful consideration because she was confident about her abilities, she still felt a little touched. Just a little bit.

"Ketchup, ask your dad to recommend a bottle of alcohol to gift your Grandpa Long," she instructed her cat AI daughter.

"Aye, aye, Mommy! Meow~"

Not even a minute later, Jin Liwei directly called her.

"Happy with the arrangement there?" he asked in his low, sexy voice.

Her lips curled into a smile. "Yes."

"Good to hear. Don't worry about the alcohol. I'll take care of it and personally choose a good one from our wine cellar at home. Long Tengfei is still my father-in-law, after all. I'll have to also thank him for taking care of my wife this time."

Iris chuckled. "Alright, I'll leave it to you, then."

The husband and wife chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up to focus on their own respective work.

###

Iris started coming to Long Industries and working there for a few hours every day. She didn't care about other people's criticisms of her not following the company's office hours, both regular and overtime hours.

All she cared about was completing the tasks assigned to her by her direct superior, the Chief Marketing Officer. If not for the need to interact with other people and show her presence in the company, she wouldn't even bother going to the company in person every day and just complete the work remotely at home.

But this was an important period for her to extend her influence at Long Industries. Whether she liked it or not, showing up in person at the office was necessary for her plans.

Others thought that her showing up at the company for only a couple of hours each day was a sign that she was slacking off. She could hear people gossiping about her.

They were complaining about how unfair it was for them to work regular hours and even overtime, but she would only show up for a couple of hours or so at most.

Iris only shrugged at their grievances. They could only see what they wanted to see.

They didn't see that in the short couple of hours or so that she was at the office, she completed more tasks than they could finish in a couple of weeks. They couldn't match her level of productivity even if they tried.

Besides, all this time, she wasn't just working for Long Industries. She also had her own businesses, not to mention that she was still working on her collaboration with her music mentor, Enrique Valdez, in preparation for her showbiz comeback. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Most importantly, she was also a new mother who couldn't bear to leave her babies for too long.

There were also other miscellaneous tasks that needed her attention.

If those criticizing her could only see what her typical day looked like, they might vomit and even collapse from exhaustion just imagining it.

To Iris, however, every day felt very fulfilling instead.

She already completed the big tasks that Long Industries' CMO assigned her—the marketing plans.

Her husband, Jin Liwei, also helped provide some useful and practical suggestions.

She was only waiting for the day to present them on the deadline. She didn't want to appear too eager to prove herself to the company by presenting it earlier than the agreed date. She was biding her time before striking.
