His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
-
chapter-1151
The news stories about Rose Young's failed sinister plot against Jin Liwei and her subsequent daring but successful rescue from police custody were now just starting to die down. As for the murder of the four young men who were Rose Young's accomplices, the authorities decided to seal any information about them to prevent any unwanted leaks or interference during their investigations. The public only knew that four young men were murdered but didn't know that they were connected to Rose Young at all. Other news replaced these stories.
Nevertheless, Iris Long's name still kept on appearing in the headlines, regardless of her obvious withdrawal from showbiz after her marriage with CEO Jin Liwei.
Everyone was still talking about and celebrating the successful launch of Jin Chonglin's Prinz men's line with Orchidia Beauty and how he sold out all of his products in 2.69 seconds that night. Orchidia Beauty worked fast and immediately restocked but the Prinz men's line was still selling out like crazy. Jin Chonglin was now a record holder due to this.
While people were talking about Jin Chonglin's men's line, they also didn't fail to gossip about Iris Long's drastic weight loss as shown in her video message during the launch event. There were many speculations as to why she lost so much weight in a short period of time.
The most popular opinion said that all the stress of becoming the new Madam Jin became too much for her. They speculated that she was unable to handle all the duties and responsibilities associated with becoming the wife of an elite billionaire businessman like CEO Jin Liwei. Many sympathized with CEO Jin for marrying such a young and immature wife who had no skills in fulfilling the important role of Madam Jin.Others said that her weight loss was a deliberate act on her part to gain the pity of the people after Rose Young tried stealing her husband right after they announced their marriage to the public.
Of course, these negative opinions were unforgivable to the Black Stars. They swarmed the web and attacked all those who badmouthed their Boss Iris. There was little to no distinction between the regular Black Stars and the group's infamous troll unit, Slippers Army, when it came to defending their goddess. All raised their mighty virtual slippers to whack the bashers to the deepest level of internet hell.
While all of these were happening, the Black Stars received good news. Their Boss Iris' official website and her social media accounts announced that the first ever international offshoot of the fan club was established.
"Welcome to the Black Stars, our fellow Singaporean brothers and sisters!"
"Raise your mighty slippers to this important milestone for our Boss Iris and to us, Black Stars!"
"I can't wait for the Singaporean unit of Slippers Army to form, too!"
In addition to this good news, CEO Jin Liwei also announced that his special contest would be extended in order to give more time for Black Stars Singapore to submit their own entries. Of course, he added more amazing prizes.Now that there was a Singaporean offshoot of the Black Stars, they wondered which country would be the next to create a local version of the fan club.

"Isn't Assistant Dom a Filipino? Wouldn't it be awesome if he establishes Black Stars Philippines?"
"Great idea! If I remember correctly, Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin's song 'Shining Eyes' topped the music charts in both Singapore and the Philippines. It makes sense that there should also be Black Stars Philippines!"
"Calling for @DomtheBeautyKing to create Black Stars Philippines for our Boss Iris!"
"@DomtheBeautyKing I second the motion!"
It only took about an hour for Dominic Chua to make an official response to all their calls. He was also quite famous among the Black Stars and even in showbiz circles for being Iris Long's talented, loyal and flamboyant Filipino assistant. He was even featured in some fashion magazines for being stylish just like Iris Long. Iris was also very vocal in her friendship with her assistant, calling Dom her best friend.
At first, people thought that she was just saying this to appear nice. Then they all saw Dom as the man of honour in her wedding with CEO Jin Liwei as featured in the magazine À la Mode China. They had no choice but to believe that her assistant was really her best friend as well.
Dom posted his official response not only on his own social media account but also on Iris Long's official website, social media accounts, and of course, the Black Stars website.
"@DomtheBeautyKing: My handsome and beautiful self is regretting so much that I didn't think about establishing Black Stars Philippines first. Thank you, fellow Black Stars, for suggesting this idea to me. I should've already done this a long time ago. This is my carelessness. I promise to remedy this as soon as possible. I hereby announce to each and every one of you that I, the gorgeous assistant of our Boss Iris, Dominic Chua, will now do everything in my power to establish Black Stars Philippines. I can't wait for my fellow Filipinos to wave their mighty slippers (and high heels) for our amazing Boss Iris!"
All the Black Stars celebrated. Their family was growing and it felt wonderful.
This news story didn't make it into the headlines but the major entertainment news platforms still published and broadcast it as minor news, along with the story about the establishment of Black Stars Singapore.
Another minor news that didn't make a big splash but still garnered the interest of a small group of people, particularly the rich who belonged to high society, was the introduction of René Alejandro, son of the Spanish viscount who married Wei Lan.
His first official appearance to Chinese high society circles was during Wei Lan's charity dinner for Iris of Hope. Wei Lan, or Vizcondesa Lan as she liked to be referred after her second marriage, made his stepson as the guest of honour at her charity dinner.
René Alejandro charmed not only the ladies but also the gentlemen in the charity dinner. Although he was only adopted, his status was still significant because the viscount only recognized him as the heir. Unless Wei Lan gave birth to another child for the viscount, René Alejandro had no competitors to his father's wealth and legacy.
