567 Brand Ambassador
Jin Liwei learned about Ketchup's naughty antics the next morning during breakfast. Iris had an early magazine photoshoot, so she and Dom needed to leave early like Jin Liwei. Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun were also already up because the little guy was used to waking up very early. Ice Cream and Popcorn were also eating breakfast on the floor. The two cats always accompanied their daddy every morning, regardless of whether the others were awake or not.
Lu Zihao was nowhere to be seen. He was someone who didn't follow a set schedule every single day and lived by his own rules.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
As for the naughty Ketchup, she was once again lectured by her daddy.
Jin Liwei didn't punish her this time because he couldn't fault her for helping his Fifth Brother. Besides, he trusted Lu Zihao. He didn't believe that his Fifth Brother would be capable of deliberately doing something illegal and dangerous that would harm innocent people.
With that, Ketchup was off the hook and happy that she wasn't punished by her parents.

A few days later, Orchidia Beauty once again opened its online store. More units were added to the inventories and the product limitations per person was lifted in order to meet the huge demand for the products since the launch.
Despite this, everything sold out in what felt like instantly.
To be more precise, the entire inventory was emptied out in 4.2 seconds.
It was another domestic record, faster than the previous one during the launch. This time, however, the achievement was even more impressive because there were more units available for purchase. Industry experts estimated that Orchidia Beauty might have sold out a total of 500,000 to 800,000 units this time, maybe even a million or more. They agreed that the total number of units wouldn't be less than half a million.
Regardless of the exact numbers, Orchidia Beauty had now started to solidify its position as one of the most popular and in-demand beauty brands in the country. If it could improve its manufacturing capacity and release more products soon, then perhaps it would be able to breach the top 10 most popular beauty brands in the country which was a ranking filled with foreign companies.
Immediately after everything sold out in Orchidia Beauty's online store, hundreds of thousands of people flooded the internet demanding for more.
"Please release more products next time! I really want to buy but couldn't because everything sold out so quickly!"
"Next time, please produce, like, 100 million units so that it won't sell out in, like, 0.00001 seconds."

"Ahahaha! Poster above, I agree with you 100%!!!"
The news once again featured Orchidia Beauty's latest history-making feat. Iris Long's name was also mentioned, of course.
Those who were thinking that the first time was a fluke had their faces slapped this time. The first time was 5 seconds. This time, it took only 4.2 seconds to sell everything out and with more units, too. The detractors had no choice but to grudgingly accept that Iris Long's company was the real deal.
But before the people could fully digest another amazing feat by Iris Long's Orchidia Beauty, her father's company, Long Industries, made its own big move. The shipping company actually invited the media just so the Chief Communications Officer (CCO) could make a public announcement.
"Long Industries take pride in our fast, reliable, quality yet economical logistics services. We are constantly improving and growing alongside our valued clients and adapting with the domestic, regional and world markets. Today, we are happy and excited to announce that we will be welcoming our first ever celebrity brand ambassador—Miss Iris Long!
"Some of you might be thinking that we picked her because she's the daughter of our CEO. If that was the only reason, we would've picked her a long time ago. We chose Miss Iris Long to be Long Industries' brand ambassador right now because we believe that she embodies our company's core values of constantly growing and improving, staying strong and resilient, and moving forward regardless of the challenges.
"We at Long Industries are looking forward to working closely with Miss Iris Long in order to showcase to everyone our company's integrity, work culture, and our pride of our beloved country."
Iris was at a dressing room for a variety TV show when the news aired the announcement. She praised the CCO for his silver tongue.
"He really knows how to talk and spin words. I was chosen to be Long Industries' brand ambassador because I'm the daughter of the CEO. That's the real reason," she said in a serious tone.
"Iris! Not so loud!" Tang Yiyi rebuked her, looking quickly around, afraid that others had overheard what she said.
Dom ran to the door and opened it to check whether there were people outside.
"All clear!" he announced.
It was only then that Tang Yiyi relaxed. "Be careful of your words, Iris. Don't let others hear you say that. People will start accusing you and your father of nepotism."
Iris only shrugged, not really thinking much about it.
"I'm serious, Iris," Tang Yiyi warned again.
"Fine, Elder Sister Yiyi," she said to calm her manager who she thought was being needlessly paranoid.
Iris' shrug was a mirror to her real attitude. She didn't care about what others thought (as always) about her appointment as brand ambassador of Long Industries. Finally, she achieved this goal after asking Long Tengfei about it during the disastrous dinner with Long Hui. This position would grant her a direct access to Long Industries as an insider—a distant one, but still nonetheless an insider. This was the first major step of her plan regarding the battle for succession in the Long clan. There was no way that she would allow the negative opinions of other people to discourage her from working on her plans.

Friday.
Iris Long's inauguration party as Long Industries' brand ambassador at the hall of a five-star hotel.
All the chief executives and important figures working in Long Industries were present in the party for Iris Long.
As the head of the company and the father of the new brand ambassador, Long Tengfei was at the forefront beside his daughter. His wife, Yang Jiahui, also attended. His sons, Long Hui (Deputy CFO) and Long Jian (Deputy COO) were also present. Even the clan elders Long Jufang and Long Meng attended because they were also minor shareholders of the company.
The media was also invited. The party would double as an official press conference later. Outside the hotel, Black Stars and other fans crowded, shouting for Iris Long and waving banners showing her name and image. Security and the police kept them under control. The number of people only increased as the hours passed by and the information about the party's location was spread.
Long Tengfei and the other executives didn't expect such a huge turn-out. They felt that Iris had only become more famous since the last time they seriously discussed about considering her as the company's brand ambassador.
The party was simple compared to other brand amabassador inauguration parties. Hiring a celebrity brand ambassador was also a first for Long Industries. In addition, Long Tengfei himself didn't want to make it too extravagant.
