Chapter 1252 - Let Nature Take Its Course
From now on, Jin Liwei\'s lawyer would be the one to assist her in the majority of the legal dealings of Eve Holdings. Her own personal lawyer, Atty. Hong Shaoqiang, wouldn\'t step in as much as possible because he wasn\'t as experienced in corporate law as the renowned lawyer of Jin Corporation.
Since Jin Liwei had an extensive experience in managing a large and profitable corporation, he also provided helpful advice and insights along with Atty. Kang Huizhong\'s explanation. Iris and the others listened to them intently.
The meeting soon ended because Iris didn\'t like wasting precious time in unnecessary idle chatter when talking business.
She stood up. "Oh, before I forget. Don\'t forget to mark down your calendars for Eve Holdings\' grand opening."
###
The grand opening occurred the next Monday. Iris kept it small and only invited a carefully selected media representatives. Nevertheless, many members of the media who weren\'t invited still came after LXC Studio released an official announcement that it would be becoming a daughter company of Eve Holdings.
It was great shock to everyone. They thought that even if LXC Studio didn\'t completely remain independent, it would choose to go under Jin Corporation\'s wings. Jin Corporation had invested in the entertainment industry plenty of times before but it didn\'t really have any actual entertainment business that it owned.
This was why it was such a huge shocker when LXC Studio chose a completely new and unknown holding company. Wouldn\'t it make so much better sense to go with a large company like Jin Corporation that had a proven track record?
LXC Studio was newly established and didn\'t have any notable projects yet to prove its worth in the entertainment industry despite Jin Chonglin and Iris Long\'s high-profile separation from Bright Summit to form their own company.

Many were shaking their heads and thought that Jin Chonglin and Iris Long were making a foolish decision. What was Jin Liwei doing in allowing the two to make such a big gamble when LXC Studio should be focusing on stabilizing itself first?
Then they finally found the answer when the identity of Eve Holdings was leaked.
It turned out Iris Long herself fully owned the new holdings company.
The Black Stars were, of course, extremely proud of their Boss Iris\' new achievement in the world of business. At the same time, they were lamenting a little that she seemed to be focusing too much on doing business in recent months rather than focusing on her showbiz career. They missed her in the limelight so much! But no matter what, they would still support her with all their hearts.
The others, however, weren\'t that supportive. The general reaction towards Iris Long setting up her own private holdings company was mostly mixed.
Even though she already proved that she could establish her own successful and profitable business, Orchidia Beauty, there were still many people who didn\'t credit the success to her. They still thought it was due to her husband CEO Jin Liwei\'s backing and also choosing the right people to manage the company in the form of the young, talented business graduates, COO Chen Fei and Iris\' own half-sister, CFO Long Jinjing.
Because Eve Holdings was 100% privately owned by Iris Long, outsiders were finding it difficult to dig for more information about the new holding company. It didn\'t help that it didn\'t have any track records yet.
A large crowd gathered around the vicinity of Eve Holdings\' company building. Police officers and the company\'s own security worked together to prevent uninvited guests from breaching the temporary barriers.
The scene looked more like a celebrity red carpet event rather than a regular business opening.
Inside a black luxury car headed to the grand opening, Jin Chonglin laughed when he saw the huge crowd of people already trailing a long way from the actual location.
"I knew that it will be like this even when Sister Xiulan repeatedly said that she\'ll be keeping the grand opening smaller and simpler compared to Orchidia Beauty\'s extravagant grand launch."
"Isn\'t it because of you?" Lin Dong, Jin Chonglin\'s manager and now LXC Studio\'s Chief of Talent Management, said.
Jin Chonglin shrugged. "What can I do? This prince is just too famous. People will notice everything I do. Even if I just sneeze, it will become a national headline."
Lin Dong gave a dry chuckle while rolling his eyes at the man\'s high ego. Still, Jin Chonglin wasn\'t lying. He was a superstar after all. It was already a fact that he was a walking magnet of attention.
"Well, look. It\'s not just my fans." Jin Chonglin pointed outside. "The Suits are back. They look cool, man! The Black Stars are too unique. I\'m a little envious, dammit!"
"Careful not to offend them or they might throw their slippers at you. Their combat power isn\'t any inferior to your army of fans."
"Nah. I\'m their Boss Iris Long\'s brother-in-law. They love me and already adopted me as their family."
Lin Dong shook his head, sighing. "Don\'t be too overconfident. They wouldn\'t even spare your older brother if he ever hurts Iris and he\'s her husband. What more a mere brother-in-law like you? They\'ll annihilate you."
"Whatever."
Jin Chonglin no longer wanted to continue this thread of conversation. He sat back and sulked in silence.
Lin Dong glanced at him from the rearview mirror and sighed. It seemed that Jin Chonglin was still not completely over his secret feelings for his own sister-in-law. Lin Dong opened his mouth and wanted to say something but closed it again, deciding that it was better not to trigger Jin Chonglin.
\'Let nature take its course,\' he thought instead.
If even an ice block like CEO Jin Liwei could completely fall for a woman and find happiness, then his brother Jin Chonglin could also find someone a perfect someone to fall in love with for sure.
Hopefully.
