His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1121 - Beat The Record

Chapter 1121 - Beat The Record

In the audience, Dom was translating what Jin Chonglin said to Alric Bauer in English. Although Alric was working hard learning Mandarin in the last few months, he still had a long way to go in understanding formal speeches. His English wasn't that proficient either but at least it was many times better than his understanding of Mandarin. It was such a hard language to learn, in his opinion. Fortunately, Dom was a very expressive person. His English translation included exaggerated body gestures and facial expressions that made it easier for Alric to understand the meaning.
Upon understanding that Jin Chonglin was thanking him, Alric smiled and nodded at the man on the stage. His reaction was caught on camera and shown on the large screen above the stage.
Loyal Orchidia Beauty users respected him a lot because if there was no Alric Bauer, there would be no amazing and nearly miraculous skincare products. Of course, Iris Long also deserved a great deal of credit for poaching a talented person like him and bringing him all the way from Germany to China in order to create a company to sell the enhanced versions of his all-natural homemade skincare products.
While the emcee continued interviewing Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei on stage, Dom noticed his friend fidgeting beside him.
"Sis Jing, are you okay?" he asked.
Long Jinjing was startled a little at his question before looking guilty. She tried to hide her real feelings behind a smile. "I'm okay. Don't worry about me, Dom."
"Hmmm." Dom squinted his eyes at her. "Do you want to leave now and go to the hospital to stay with Big Bro Boss Haohao?"
Her reaction showed that Dom hit bullseye. "Uhm…."
Dom giggled but his eyes quickly turned sad. He sighed. "I really hope that Big Bro Boss wakes up soon."
Her eyes watered but she quickly blinked and bit her lower lip to prevent herself from turning into a sobbing mess. Her makeup took a long time to finish. She wasn't going to ruin it by crying in public. She nodded, not trusting herself to speak because her throat already felt choked up with her emotions.
"Sis Jing, just wait until we officially launch Prince Lin Lin's products and open them for orders. Then you can leave and head to the hospital. My handsome and beautiful self will cover for you."
Long Jinjing felt tempted but she ended up shaking her head. "Thanks, Dom, but I need to stay until the event ends later tonight. I can't just leave everything to Xiao Fei—COO Chen especially since President Long is already absent due to her bed rest."
"Okay, Sis Jing. Don't worry. It's only one night anyway and it'll soon be over. You can stay with Big Bro Boss Haohao tomorrow. Maybe you can also persuade Grandpa Boss to take a rest. Boss and Sir Boss are so worried about him."
She sighed. "I know. I already tried persuading Grandpa Lu to rest many times before but he refused to leave Zihao's side. I can't force him to leave. If not for work, I don't want to leave Zihao's side either, so I can understand Grandpa Lu."
Dom sighed. They sighed together. Their thoughts were filled of the comatose Lu Zihao who still hadn't shown any signs of waking up since he collapsed.
"Pay attention," Alric rebuked the two of them.
Long Jinjing looked embarrassed and immediately turned her face forward to the stage while Dom ehehe'd and winked at the annoyed German.
Finally, Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei announced the start of the countdown to officially launch the exclusive Prinz men's line and open it for orders. Almost all the guests in the audience took out their phones in anticipation.
Similar to when Orchidia Beauty launched its first batch of products for the first time, there was a limit of purchase per person. This time, however, the limit was increased to five. Meaning, one person could buy five multiples of the same product. There were a number of products in the Prinz men's line so a person could buy a lot despite the limit.
Despite this being a men's line, there were still more women than men who attended tonight's launch event. The women also looked like they were going to buy the men's products. Perhaps they were buying them for the men in their lives, or try the products themselves for curiosity's sake, or buy them as collectibles just for the simple reason that they loved their Prince Lin Lin and wanted to support him no matter what.
"The moment has come, ladies and gentlemen," the emcee announced, hyping the audience with great expertise. "Prince Lin Lin, COO Chen, please do the honours."
"Of course," Jin Chonglin said, flashing his killer smile.
Chen Fei nodded.
The large screen above the stage flickered and showed the number 10 as the start of the countdown.
"10!" Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei shouted together along with everyone.
"9...8…"
"…3…2…1!!!"
"Order, order, order NOW!!!" Jin Chonglin urged everyone.
His fans immediately started another timer. Ever since they learned that their Prince Lin Lin was creating an exclusive men's line of skincare products with Orchidia Beauty, they all wanted him to beat the five-second record that Orchidia Beauty achieved during its grand launch.
"1..2…3—"
"Aaaaaah! We did it!"
"Wait, did we really do it?"
"Prince Lin Lin, we beat the record!"
Chen Fei bent forward on the edge of the stage and asked her assistant for confirmation. An excited-looking Jin Chonglin followed her, listening to the conversation. Of course, the curious emcee didn't want to be left behind, so he followed the two of them as well.
Dom and Long Jinjing looked at each other. They couldn't help but become excited as well. In contrast, Alric looked the most relaxed out of all of them. Dom turned to him and explained that Jin Chonglin might have broken the previous five-second record.
"I already expected this," Alric replied, cool as a cucumber. "He's a superstar, right? It's only natural that he'll break the record. If he doesn't, then it means that he's not as great as you all claim him to be. And most importantly, the products I developed for his men's line are top-notch."
"The expenses during their development are top-notch, too," Long Jinjing muttered under her breath.
