His Genius Wife Is A Superstar
Chapter 1623: Sugar Babies?

Iris Long had already received a private, verbal confirmation from Long Tengfei that she was now his chosen successor of Long Industries. She didn’t care about the Long clan at all, only the company.

She would safeguard it until her godson, Little Jun, became old and capable enough to inherit it. If it turned out that Little Jun wasn’t interested in Long Industries in the future, she would figure out what to do with the company then. There were still many years until her godson came of age. Many things would still change.

Her children had Jin Corporation and Eve Holdings to worry about. She wasn’t interested in leaving them Long Industries. After all, her children’s surname was Jin. In addition, she also didn’t feel like she belonged to the Long clan at all. She didn’t want her children to become close with such a backward, snobbish, narrow-minded clan.

It was already enough to associate with Long Tengfei and Long Jian.

Elder Long Jufang was also someone she needed to tolerate for the sake of their alliance. Any more than that was out of the table for her. As long as the elder didn’t cross a line, she wouldn’t alienate him.

Since Long Tengfei had already given her a private, verbal confirmation that she was the one he had chosen to be his successor, she wasn’t at all surprised that Long Industries uncharacteristically shared her post yesterday announcing the surprise release of her new single. This was Long Tengfei’s subtle way of showing his support for her.

Those who were astute enough definitely sensed that his actions might mean something. Long Hui’s minions should start panicking now.

But those who didn’t understand the meaning behind Long Tengfei’s actions might think that he was just spoiling his willful youngest daughter as usual.

Iris didn’t care at all about what other people thought. As long as Long Tengfei honoured his promise to make her his successor, then she would do everything in her power to make Long Industries more profitable and influential before handing it to her beloved grandson in the future.

Of course, there was also a possibility that Long Tengfei might go back on his word. He might once again feel sorry for his eldest-born son, Long Hui. If this happened, then Iris wouldn’t show any mercy.

Iris wanted to share all her thoughts with her glam team but stopped herself just in time. There was no need for others besides her husband to know about the inside story just yet. Let them make their own conclusions.

For now, she needed to preserve her voice for tonight’s performance.

Thinking about how she would finally be able to stand on stage with a live band in front of a live audience broadcast live on national television after such a long time made her blood boil with excitement.

After she changed into her dress, there was a knock on the door.

Dom opened it and in walked Enrique Valdez.

Everyone in Iris’ glam team gasped upon seeing the handsome, legendary hitmaker.

Enrique Valdez dressed in a tuxedo suit without a coat. He unbuttoned his white dress shirt, showing a part of his toned chest.

Iris’ makeup artist and hair stylist were already familiar with Enrique Valdez but his appearance tonight still made them want to faint.

How could someone in his sixties still look so young and so hot?

Those chiselled cheekbones and jaw!

Those mesmerizing hazel eyes!

Gorgeous olive skin!

Was he interested in taking some sugar babies?

Oh gosh, they were available!!!

Although Iris’ glam team had these perverted thoughts, they were still smart and discreet enough to keep their thirst to themselves. They retreated to the sides to allow the gorgeous Enrique to chat with their beautiful Boss Iris.

"Ready?" Enrique Valdez asked Iris while nodding at Jin Liwei in greeting.

Iris gave him a thumbs up.

"You look beautiful tonight," Enrique commented.

His tone sounded like a father praising his own daughter.

Iris felt it, too. She smiled as thanks.

To his credit, Jin Liwei didn’t get jealous at all. He already knew Enrique Valdez enough to understand that the legendary hitmaker saw Iris as a daughter figure. In a sense, Jin Liwei also treated Enrique like a father-in-law figure.

The most important thing was that Jin Liwei knew that his wife gave Enrique Valdez her utmost respect. Every time they had a music session, Iris would always improve even just a tiny bit.

Enrique Valdez’s reputation as a musical genius wasn’t an exaggeration at all. He was a fountain of knowledge and technique that Iris couldn’t stop herself from soaking up.

The legendary hitmaker sat down on the couch. His presence was so strong that the members of Iris’ glam team felt dizzy.

The nail technician was a relatively new hire. He sat there and stared at Enrique with wide dazed eyes and open salivating mouth.

Jin Liwei helped his wife put on her jewelry while Dom kneeled on the floor to help her put on her high-heeled shoes.

"The musicians are ready," Enrique Valdez said. "I just checked on them."

Iris nodded and said, "Got it," in sign language.

Enrique glanced at her wristwatch and stood up after Iris was done with her outfit. "Now let’s start warming up your voice."

"Okay." Finally, she spoke.

Enrique led Iris in performing vocal warm-ups.

Jin Liwei, Dom, and the others were already used to it.

Director He once again knocked on the door to check on Iris Long. The program had already started.

They could hear the two emcees speaking their opening monologue through the open door. Director He paused as soon as he heard Iris Long’s vocal warm-ups. It was also quite a surprise to see Enrique Valdez leading her through it.

But the director was still a professional after all. He quickly recovered and interrupted the two. Then he once again gave a quick rundown of the step-by-step sequence of events that everyone must follow. Normally, he would just send an assistant to do it, but Iris Long and especially Enrique Valdez had a different status. He had to give them some special treatment.

"I need to return to the control room," he said. "If there are any issues or you need anything, just call any of my staff in the studio and they’ll assist you. Good luck, Iris. Good luck, Mr. Enrique. And please enjoy, CEO Jin!"

With that, Director He left the dressing room.
