Chapter 1499 Big Announcements
Jin Chonglin couldn"t stop himself from retorting to some of the comments teasing him. Of course, his interactions with these fans were mostly in a good-natured, joking manner.
Those that were rude to Jin Chonglin were ignored while the ones that targeted the babies were directly blocked and reported.
Even the Black Stars sent its notorious troll group, the Slippers Army, once they detected comments trying to bully their Boss Iris" twin babies. They never joked about the safety and privacy of the babies, especially after what happened to their Boss Iris" G.o.dson, Little Jun.
The kidnapping was a wake-up call to everyone. They became even more protective of all the children related to their Boss Iris, especially her babies. If anyone dared to even say a single bad thing about the kids, then the Black Stars, especially the Slippers Army, would be the first ones to beat down the evil netizens hiding behind anonymity with their mighty slippers.
Thankfully, with everyone"s conscious effort, these evil netizens balked under their righteous counterattack.

Time flew by.
Iris Long continued to polish her new alb.u.m. There were leaks that she collaborated with other artists besides Enrique Valdez, but their ident.i.ties remained unknown. This only fueled the music industry and the fans" interest and antic.i.p.ation for the new alb.u.m.
In the meantime, Iris Long made several big announcements regarding her businesses.
Her perfume company, Liberté, formerly known as Sang Bleu, was launching soon. Of course, as the new owner of the rebranded company, Iris Long was its permanent amba.s.sador.
In addition to her, it was announced that Liberté was going to have two celebrity amba.s.sadors to promote their first perfumes under the rebranded company.
Within a day, Iris Long introduced the new verified social media accounts across different platforms of her perfume company, Liberté.
Then Liberté"s accounts tagged three accounts in its first-ever post. It said:
"Dive into a new world of fragrance where freedom to mix traditions with progress is celebrated!
"Introducing Liberté"s owner, @IrisLong, as she promotes her signature scent called "Eve".
"Also please help us welcome our two new celebrity amba.s.sadors: the superstar @JinChonglin to promote our first men"s fragrance called "Valliance" and the international best actress @YinMeixing to promote the women"s fragrance called "Sérénité".
"Pre-orders opening soon!
"Respecting traditions, working toward progress. We are Liberté!"
Iris Long, Jin Chonglin, Yin Meixing, and LXC Studio all reposted Liberté"s announcement at the same time.
Their fans all looked forward to the three new perfumes.
The Black Stars were ecstatic. Jin Chonglin"s army of fans also couldn"t wait for the pre-orders to open and for the official launch.
Although Yin Meixing wasn"t as popular as Jin Chonglin or even Iris Long, her prestige as an international best actress still counted for something. After becoming an LXC Studio-managed artist, she became more visible in the media. Also, being closely a.s.sociated with Iris Long and especially with Jin Chonglin made her an overnight household name. Her loyal fans were almost crying from grat.i.tude. She also welcomed new fans every single day.
The news about Liberté"s launch and new brand amba.s.sadors hadn"t even died down yet before Iris Long dropped another major business announcement.
This time, it was about the precious company that she founded by herself—Orchidia.
The popular profitable company with extremely viral products posted on all its official accounts:
"We are pleased to announce that Orchidia is finally going international! To our loyal fans who are doing their best to import from abroad despite the strict and heavy duties, we made this happen for you.
"Orchidia Germany will cater to our European customers.
"Orchidia Philippines and Orchidia Singapore together will serve most of our customers in Asia. Orchidia Singapore will also temporarily serve our North American customers until we establish our North American base in the future.
"To our clients in other parts of the world not covered by our new international bases, please don"t worry because we are continuing to work on expanding our brand so that we can better serve everyone who believes in our amazing products.
"Another exciting news for our international customers is the launch of our universal website. You can now order through our new website wherever you are in the world. Your orders will be delivered from the most convenient country base for the quickest and most affordable s.h.i.+pping.
"We are always working on creating new products to make everyone naturally beautiful. We thank everyone for your continued support!"
This announcement caused a celebration among overseas Chinese who had been buying Orchidia products through their family and friends in the country. The customer base had exponentially grown due to word of mouth. Now, there were fans of other nationalities who became loyal customers after their Chinese friends recommended various Orchidia products.
The most profitable ones were, of course, the Orchidia Beauty products. The effects of these products were almost miraculous while being kind and gentle to all skin types. Almost everyone who used it the first time would become a loyal customer.
The only problem was the difficulty of buying it from abroad. Now that Orchidia had announced the launch of its universal website, they could now order however much they wanted at a more affordable price.
Those from Europe, Asia, and North America were the most excited. They would no longer have to pay too much import taxes to buy Orchidia products.
Even the original domestic customers were happy. Although at first glance, it might appear that they weren"t affected by these international expansions, at least they wouldn"t have to compete with international customers for the products anymore.
The headquarters would finally be able to focus on serving their domestic customers while the new bases abroad would serve the international customers instead.
Everyone hoped that incidents of products selling out would lessen. It was torture to wait for restocks when they already emptied the products they used at home.
Using other products that they used before was no longer possible. Their skins could no longer tolerate the harsh chemicals used in other brands" products. They could only use Orchidia products from now on.
