His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1456 Famous Cafeteria

Chapter 1456 Famous Cafeteria

Long Industries.
No matter how many times others tried to sabotage her in the company, Iris always managed to counterattack. For her, this kind of sneak attacks were too amateurish.
The enemy camp also didn't dare to act too recklessly and blatantly against her because Long Tengfei had already shown through his decisions and actions as the company head how much he favoured his youngest daughter. Long Tengfei still held the highest authority in the company after all. If they crossed his bottom line too much, they were the ones who would regret it in the end.
Iris didn't join the company's infighting too much, not unless they specifically targeted her. She chose to focus on completing her assigned tasks well while working on building her influence in the company.
Due to her consistently excellent work performance, her immediate superior, the CMO, began to treat her much better than before.
The entire Marketing Department's initial bad impression of her also gradually changed into acceptance and even admiration. Actions spoke louder than words. Only a blind person would fail to see her excellence at work.
It also helped that there were a few Black Stars in the department who supported her from the very beginning, including her assistant in the company. They were the first ones to help her without expecting anything in return. They just wanted to support her as much as they could.
To repay them, she would often order special boxed lunches for them. Of course, she also provided the CMO and the others with lunch, not just the Black Stars. As the Deputy CMO, she had the authority to treat others without appearing as a brownnoser. Besides, it wasn't a daily occurrence, but her thoughtful actions still brought her closer to the other members of the department.
Some wanted to cause trouble for her and accused her of trying to bribe people with free lunches. She didn't care about them and continued to order special lunches for her department. Those people could think whatever they wanted. Her conscience was clear.
She was just giving back to those who helped her, especially the Black Stars. Besides, she wasn't spending the company's dime. She paid for the lunches out of her own pocket.
Even if someone reported her, what she was doing wasn't anything against the company policy. It was normal for higher-ranked officers to treat their team members for a job well done.
If the company wanted to stop her from continuing to do this, then it should also ban everyone from treating others. But this would cause a massive protest among the regular workers who benefited from the free lunches and treated it as a work perk. The company wouldn't do something stupid unless it wanted to witness a mass resignation of its workers.
As a result of her actions, the Marketing Department became the target of envy in the company.
Workers from other departments wished that their leaders could provide them with free lunches as well.
Long Jian was quick on the uptake. He also began providing free lunches to his department but not as often as Iris. He even submitted a proposal to improve the company's cafeteria and provide all employees with better food benefits, arguing that this would boost the employees' morale and increase their overall productivity.
As the Deputy CFO, Long Hui and his allies in the Finance Department were the first ones to oppose Long Jian's proposal.
A rather tense showdown between the half-brothers was currently playing in the conference room.
Long Tengfei's expression was ugly as he tried to mediate between his two sons but to no avail. He was about to use his authority as the President-CEO to force the two to stop when his youngest daughter joined in the fray.
In his mind, he couldn't help but curse.
Did this daughter of his want to see the world burn before she was satisfied?
"I support Deputy COO Long Jian's proposal," Iris said.
Long Hui scowled at her.
She completely ignored him. She stood up and asked Long Jian, "May I?"
Sensing that she was there to back him up, Long Jian stepped aside and allowed her to operate his laptop.
The projector screen soon showed Orchidia's website. After a few clicks, it showed a webpage featuring Orchidia's company facilities, including their cafeteria.
Although it was called a cafeteria, it was more like a high-end mall food court with an impressive variety of restaurants and even a specialty café. Orchidia's cafeteria was already quite famous within the business industry.
It was arguably the best in the country's industry. It was also one of the big reasons why a lot of applicants wanted to work at Orchidia aside from Iris Long's fame as a celebrity.
After bragging about her Orchidia's famous cafeteria, Iris' next words caused agitation among the executives present.
"I have only been working as the Deputy CMO here at Long Industries for a short time, so it was my negligence not to notice that the cafeteria here and the other employee perks aren't up to the standards of Orchidia or even my other companies."
Long Tengfei and the other executives grimaced while Long Hui and his allies looked like they wanted to jump at Iris and choke her.
What was she saying? Did she only attend today's meeting to brag about her own companies' employee benefits?
Long Jian looked away and focused hard on trying not to laugh out loud. It was so funny looking at the executives' expressions. They looked like they were suffering from constipation. It was especially gratifying to watch Long Hui not having a good time.
Iris continued, "It's thanks to Deputy COO Long Jian for reminding me about this issue through his proposal today. Our workers are loyal and hardworking. They deserve to be rewarded in a different way in addition to their salaries. Deputy COO Long is right. Giving them good perks like better food will provide them with daily energy and motivation to be more productive. This in turn will benefit Long Industries as a whole."
Long Jian nodded. "My point exactly."
