His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 201 - She Likes Me Very Much

Chapter 201 - She Likes Me Very MuChapter

The next day, Hou Liang quit his office job. A couple of his friends also quit their jobs to join him. They all worked at the same company. Surprisingly, one of his friends was Wu Chen (a.k.a. iEatSlippers) who was an accountant.
Hou Liang and Wu Chen worked at the same company but in different departments. Hou Liang worked at the IT department; Wu Chen at the Finance Department.
When Hou Liang announced to his friends that he would quit his job to form his own gaming company with the help of a business partner, Wu Chen was the first one to follow him without asking any question. His other friend who was a programmer asked a few questions before following them. His other friends were hesitant to quit their jobs. However, they said that they would join him after he actually formed his company.
Hou Liang didn't tell Wu Chen yet that Iris would be his new business partner. So Wu Chen had no idea that his new future boss would be Boss Iris.
Iris advised Hou Liang to stay put for now. She said that she still needed a few days to consult with her business mentor and financial manager.
In the meantime, Hou Liang and his programmer friend chose one of their most ambitious video game ideas to work on. The current sample they had was horrible and extremely skeletal because they didn't have the resources or the manpower to even create a decent sample. With just the two of them, they couldn't do much but they were determined to improve on their initial concept.
While the two were busy, Wu Chen logged online as iEatSlippers and once again led the Slippers Army to defend their Boss Iris' name against the haters.

Iris just finished a magazine photo shoot and interview. Tang Yiyi, Dom and Jiang Ying Yue accompanied her. It went well and they were on their way to another interview, but this time on a music program at a cable TV channel.
Inside the executive van, Iris was busy completing translation exercises given by her two instructors.Ring! Ring!
Tang Yiyi answered her phone.
Iris was very absorbed in what she was doing that Tang Yiyi's phone conversation and Dom's constant chatter failed to penetrate her concentration. It was only when she felt someone shaking her shoulder that she forced herself out of this flow state.
"Hm?"
"Sorry to bother you, Iris," Tang Yiyi said. "But I have something important to tell you."
"What is it?"
"The film producer just called me. He wanted you to know that they're finally releasing the trailer soon. Of course, the new version of 'Phantom of Your Love' will also be featured since it's the theme song. It seems that JJ has already been informed. His record label will release a sample audio of the song and promote it around the same time the trailer is released."
"I see. That's great to hear," Iris said before returning to her translation exercises. She instantly became immersed once again.
Tang Yiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's it?" she asked. She was so excited yet Iris acted like it was a very normal occurrence, even looking somewhat disinterested.
"Ehehe. That's just how boss is," Dom said.Tang Yiyi had no choice but to share her happiness with Dom instead. She wanted to suggest that they go somewhere for dinner tonight to celebrate, but it seemed that Iris was very busy. When the film released, she would drag Iris for sure to celebrate whether she liked it or not.

Jin Corporation
As the true owner of LX Productions, of course Jin Liwei was informed of the news about the film trailer's upcoming release. He had first priority to see everything about the film. He already saw several versions of the trailer.
He wasn't a film expert, so he left the final decision to the person he appointed to run LX Productions. However, he had one request. It was about the font size of the credits showing "Original Music by Iris Long".
"It's too small. Make it bigger!" he ordered. "I can barely read her name."
"But President, they've already given Miss Long's name its own frame in the trailer…"
Jin Liwei frowned. "The font is still too small. Make it big enough that it fills the entire screen."
"Uh…understood, President."
In the end, they only increased the font size a little. Jin Liwei was unhappy but Xu Tian assured him that it was a great trailer and that Iris' name was the most noticeable one among the credits.The production team was still polishing the trailer until they officially release it.
Jin Liwei wondered if his baby girl already knew about it. He looked at his wristwatch. She should be on the road by now for her next interview. He knew her schedule because Dom always gave it to him. He decided to give her call.
"Hello?" His baby girl's lovely voice answered, sounding distracted.
Ah, she must be studying again. As a good boyfriend, he should leave her alone for now and allow her to focus on her studies. However, he wanted to talk to her. She was still asleep when he left for work this morning. He was already missing her.
"Hi baby," he greeted.
He asked if she knew about the film trailer yet. She told him that Tang Yiyi just informed her.
"Congratulations on completing the film score. I'm so proud of you, baby."
"Thank you."
He knew that she was smiling which made him smile as well. Then he changed the subject.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?""Yes. I'm ready to meet your grandmother and mother. Do you think they'll like me?"
"Baby, don't worry too much. Just be yourself. I'm sure they'll see how amazing you are."
She giggled. "Okay." There was some noise on her end of the line. "Oh, we've arrived. I need to go."
"Alright. Take care, baby. See you later at home."
"You too, Liwei. See you later."
"I love you."
"I like you very much."
His eyebrows rose and his whole expression became happy. Even when the call ended, he continued to grin like an idiot. Before, she would just stay silent or say "thank you" whenever he said "I love you". But now she replied. Granted, it wasn't "I love you, too" but it was already a great progress.
When Xu Tian entered his office to submit some reports, he immediately became concerned.
"P-president? Are you alright?"He chuckled. Yes, the President "chuckled"! Xu Tian would never describe his boss' weird laugh as a "giggle"! Never! This was a "chuckle", not a "giggle"!
"She said she likes me very much," Jin Liwei told him, continuing to gigg—chuckle.
"Uh…congratulations, President…"
"Xu Tian, you're a great and loyal assistant. I'll give you a raise and a bonus this month!"
Xu Tian immediately bowed. "Thank you very much, President! I always pray that Miss Long's feelings for you deepen every single day!"
"Good man! I'll give you another bonus next month!"
