Chapter 382 Baby-Making Skills
After this TV show aired, many believed the psychologist's analysis of Iris Long's situation to be the truth, especially the Black Stars who believed it 100%. They felt sorry for their Boss Iris when she was young. She had to resort to rebellion in order to demand attention from her divorced parents.
"Wuwuwu! My heart aches for Boss Iris! Poor her! She just wanted to be loved!"
"I feel so sorry for what Boss Iris went through. But is it wrong for me to also be glad that she went through a near-death experience? Because if she didn't, we might have never known that she's actually a genius!"
"I agree with you! I'm also glad that she experienced all of that because it made her grow as a person. She's so much better now, that's why we all follow her!"
"Boss Iris, we love you so much! We'll follow you to the very end! You're the most awesome boss forever and ever!!!"
Then the topic of conversation suddenly changed.
"Dammit! I missed so much news about Boss Iris! It's the first time in a long while that I returned to the land of the living. I've been playing this new awesome game. It's super amazing! Anybody playing 'Supreme Ascension' here?"
"Me me me! What's your username? Let's be friends and form a team together!"
The new game "Supreme Ascension" was fast becoming the top computer game being played at internet cafés. It also helped that most game critics and reviewers gave it mostly high reviews. There were also many gamers who were choosing to livestream the game. "Supreme Ascension" livestreams were often found in top trending lists among gaming websites and apps.
In addition to these, many celebrities also shared to their fans that they were playing this new computer game. When Jin Chonglin posted photos of himself playing the game on his blog, his army of fans immediately tried playing it as well. Many of them never expected that they would become totally addicted to it.
Things were going extremely well for Planet Monkey. Despite this, the company only became more focused on improving the game. They hired more employees to increase efficiency and quality.The gaming industry wanted to know more about Planet Monkey, but the company itself remained relatively quiet about its history and inner workings amidst the growing media attention.
Of course, Planet Monkey didn't fail in advertising and promoting "Supreme Ascension", but they didn't constantly splash themselves all over the media. Most of their ads were targeted online, and so far, it was proving to be very effective.
When asked by a game reporter why they weren't taking advantage of the game's rising popularity to gain more exposure, a representative from Planet Monkey was reported saying:
"We want our current game, 'Supreme Ascension', to speak for itself and on behalf of our company, Planet Monkey. We are confident in our game's quality and we are constantly working hard to improve it even further. We believe that the high quality of our game and its immersive user experience are enough advertisement at the moment. We want to focus first on improving the game in every aspect and growing it alongside our current players, instead of trying to get a massive number of new players who might grow tired of it after some time."
This answer screamed confidence, calmness, and in many ways, maturity for a new game company. It only made Planet Monkey more mysterious.

Inside the hotel suite, Iris smiled while reading the latest company report of Planet Monkey.
Despite her company's statement of wanting to grow alongside their current players instead of attracting a massive number of new players, their data showed that most new players quickly became regular players. Meaning, most of them became addicted and continued to play regularly. Only less than 5% of new sign-ups so far stopped playing after the first few weeks. This was an excellent turn-out.
Word of mouth demonstrated its undeniable power. Iris only mentioned "Supreme Ascension" to Blaze, Eros, Night and Thunder of Pandemonium once. She didn't say that it was her company who made the game.
Before she knew it, the guys instantly got hooked on the game to the point that they invited their fellow celebrities to play it. They were actually the ones who started spreading "Supreme Ascension" among the celebrities. That was also how Jin Chonglin knew about the game in the first place.And just like Jin Liwei promised, he made Jin Chonglin post about "Supreme Ascension" on his blog. When Jin Chonglin discovered that Iris was the President-Owner of Planet Monkey, the company who made the game, he was absolutely shocked.
The shock made him forget about his intended complaints on why he was being made to promote the game when he wasn't going to be paid in the first place. In the end, he did it on his own volition. But he made Iris promise to tour him around Planet Monkey when they were both free.
Of course Iris immediately agreed. Free promotion from a superstar like Jin Chonglin? She would tour him around Planet Monkey as many times as he wanted.
After reading the report, she closed her laptop and went into the bedroom. She was alone in the suite. Jin Liwei was currently working out at the hotel gym. She didn't go with him because she didn't feel like working out today.
It was the day after the international business conference ended.
Last night, there were celebratory dinners all over the nearby restaurants. Likewise, Jin Corporation and Long Industries had their own dinners to celebrate the deals they successfully obtained during the international business conference.
Because Jin Liwei, Grandpa Lu and the Longs had to attend their respective company dinners with their own people, Iris and her two professors ate together instead. At first, Jin Liwei wanted to skip Jin Corporation's dinner to join her but Iris discouraged him.
"No, darling. Celebrate with your people first. They deserve to have a nice dinner with their President-CEO after all the hard work they put in during this international business conference. We can have our own celebratory dinner tomorrow." Only when she said this did Jin Liwei reluctantly left her with the professors.
But even during his dinner, he still constantly messaged her to ask how she was doing. It was already past midnight when he returned to their hotel suite. She was already in deep sleep by that time.
Back to the present.Iris headed to the bedroom and took some clothes from the drawers before heading to the bathroom for a shower.
She and Jin Liwei decided not to immediately return home. They planned on staying at the hotel for the rest of the weekend. They wanted to spend more time together with just the two of them, especially after how busy they had been prior to and during the international business conference.
While most of the delegates were busy packing their luggage and checking out of their hotels, the two of them were relaxing and enjoying the hotel's accommodations instead.
Grandpa Lu called them first thing in the morning. He announced that he was already missing Little Jun, so he would be leaving soon. It seemed that the two professors were leaving with him as well.
"This old man can't wait to give all the presents I bought this week to my beloved great-grandson! If you two want to stay here, then stay! I know that you plan on practicing your baby-making skills! Bahahaha! Practice well because I want a well-made great-grandbaby! When are you going to give me a new one? I want to know! This old man is not getting any younger!"
Grandpa Lu's words made Iris blush a little but Jin Liwei looked pumped, as if determined to improve his baby-making skills with her.
Iris also received a call from Long Tengfei afterwards. Everyone from Long Industries would also be leaving today.
So at the moment, it was basically just Iris and Jin Liwei who were left. Although she was missing Ice Cream, Popcorn and Little Jun, she was filled with anticipation at spending the entire weekend with her darling—just the two of them alone.
She was in the middle of removing her clothes when she heard the sound of Jin Liwei arriving at the suite. Her lips curved into a smile.
"Love?" Jin Liwei's voice called for her.She could hear his footsteps. Moments later, the bathroom door opened.
Jin Liwei stopped in his tracks when he saw his baby girl only in her underwear. His eyes darkened with desire. Of course, his little brother down below stirred and began standing in attention.
