His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1172 - Meet The Qualifications

Chapter 1172 - Meet The Qualifications

It took Iris many days to persuade her husband and everyone else to allow her to ease back to work. Her bed rest might have already ended but her miscarriage scare traumatized not only her but also her husband and all of their loved ones. They kept their eyes on her like a hawk at all times and never allowed her to overexert herself in anything. This time, she no longer dared to be careless. She didn't want to risk losing her babies anymore.
Nevertheless, she still resumed all the work she had that got held back due to her unexpected bed rest. Even if she couldn't complete all the tasks as fast as she wanted, this snail pace was still better than lying down on the bed and doing nothing. At least now, she could again start helping to solve some of the problems that their family had been dealing with for a while now.
Iris was busy inside her computer room at the moment. She was examining and analyzing Bacon's system. This was something that she had been itching to do ever since Bacon evolved to become the power flood itself. She put Bacon to sleep mode while she was studying him and tweaking the codes in his system along the way to consolidate the changes made after his evolution.
Afterwards, she created a temporary program to seal most of Bacon's power flood abilities. She needed more time to study and test out these new abilities in a controlled environment in order to ensure that Bacon wouldn't harm himself while using them. At the same time, she wanted Bacon to learn how to control himself.
Becoming the power flood meant that Bacon was now like a dormant nuclear weapon. He literally had the power to destroy the modern world as everyone knew it.
Therefore, Iris and Jin Liwei needed to teach Bacon on how to resist the temptation to unleash his new destructive powers. They didn't want a situation to occur where the world ended just because Bacon threw a tantrum over something trivial.
While Iris was absorbed in what she was doing, she felt a familiar strong warmth embracing her from the side. It took a few seconds for her to focus on the present. Her mouth curved up into a soft smile.
"Darling," she murmured and received her husband's kiss on the lips.
"Snack time," Jin Liwei said while sweeping his eyes all over his wife's body to make sure that she was alright.
Iris didn't miss the movement of his eyes. She knew that he was worried about the level of radiation exposure inside her computer room especially now that she was pregnant. She was worried, too.
"Look, I'm wearing the anti-radiation clothes that Amanpio made and Ashandra designed for me. I'll be fine."
"I know, love. But don't stay in here for too long just to be sure."
"Okay."
Jin Liwei kissed her cheek. "Let's go. Auntie Reina cooked champorado1 for you and some other Filipino sweets."
Her eyes lit up. She had eaten champorado before and liked it. Dom requested one of their chefs to cook it and the chef succeeded after following a recipe. However, Iris still wanted to try Auntie Reina's champorado after hearing Dom rave that it was the best ever in the world.
"Okay but let me finish this up first." She pulled her husband to sit beside her.
He frowned, not wanting for her to spend any more time inside the computer room today. "Love—"
"I'll be done in five minutes, no, three minutes. Promise. I'll just reinforce Bacon's priority command access to only the two of us. Remember when he almost tested out his new power flood abilities after getting Big Brother's permission? We can't let that happen again. His system became laxer with these commands after he evolved. I need to fix this right now."
"Ah." Jin Liwei sighed before nodding. "Bacon is still grounded because of that incident. That cunning kid." He clicked his tongue while shaking his head.
"Good thing that Ketchup detected it immediately and informed me just in time."
"En. Our daughter is very responsible and reliable."
The white cat chasing some virtual butterflies in one of the large computer monitors heard him and started bouncing in excitement. "Hihihi! The cute and mighty Ketchup is a good big sister! Right, Mommy and Daddy? Meow~"
"Yes, you are."
"En."
Ketchup became excited for a while after receiving praise from both her parents. Fortunately, she didn't disturb her mommy's concentration with her endless chatter. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
"Done!" Iris announced, sighing in relief. Then she called in a soothing voice, "Wake up, Bacon."
A black cat appeared beside the overexcited white cat on the computer screen. "Greetings, Mother and Father. Bacon is awake now."
"What about the cute and mighty Ketchup? Bacon, you big meanie! Don't forget to greet your big sister! Meow!"
Bacon blinked his golden eyes. He was silent for a full five seconds before saying "Greetings, Big Sister Ketchup" to his older sister with some reluctance in his tone.
Iris chuckled while Jin Liwei gave their AI son a stern look. Bacon shrank his head towards his fluffy body and widened his eyes in an effort to act cute. Iris laughed and patted her husband.
"Let's go for snacks," she said.
"En." He gave Bacon one last look. "Be good."
"Understood, Father."
The husband and wife left the computer room while their AI children powered down the devices inside without needing their mommy to remind them.
"How's Jasper Leung?" Iris asked as they were walking along the hallway.
"He's back in Singapore," Jin Liwei replied.
"What did you think about his performance as an intern?"
"Not bad."
She tilted her head to the side, silently asking him to clarify.
He did. "He's not naturally brilliant but he's easy to train and executes instructions well."
Iris listened to her husband listing off Jasper Leung's strengths that he displayed during his short internship. Afterwards, she asked, "So Jasper meets the qualifications that you're looking for in your plan?"
Jin Liwei didn't answer right away. Finally, he said, "For now, yes. But he needs more training and he has to grow as a leader faster. The Youngs won't wait for him to become stronger. He needs to catch them unaware. Only then would my plan be considered as effective."
"I trust in you."
"Thank, love." Sweet chocolate rice porridge in Filipino cuisine
