Chapter 1490  We Got It

Ren Jiyu and the national shooting team were also present. They were only recently signed, but their popularity kept on increasing. They were frequent guests at variety shows and talk shows. Ren Jiyu, in particular, was a massive favourite. He was now even scheduled to join a TV drama crew shortly for a cameo role. It might not be a significant role, but it was expected to give his showbiz career a great boost.

Some trainees joined in the fun. They hadn\'t debuted yet, but watching their seniors\' successful careers made them feel hopeful about their own future careers in showbiz.

Unlike other companies who bled trainees dry, LXC Studio was quite humane. Of course, it was strict when it came to training them—which was a given—but the remuneration that they would receive once they debuted was the best they could find in the industry. As long as they persevered and worked hard, then their time to shine on the stage would come soon. They couldn\'t wait for that glorious moment to come. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

An important guest appeared midway through the celebratory lunch. Guan Jintao, the blind Paralympian gold medalist whose story was the one that the film "Strong Yet Broken" was based on, unexpectedly came to join as well.

"Mr. Guan!" Yin Meixing was excited when she saw him. "I\'m so glad that you accepted my invitation to come today!"

Guan Jintao smiled behind his sunglasses. His family member guided him to the same table as Yin Meixing, Iris, and the others.

"I apologize for being late," he said. "I wanted to come on time but my health is not that great anymore. There are so many tiny little aches and pains here and there when you\'re getting old."

Iris stepped forward to greet him with her husband and said, "You should\'ve told us that you were coming so that we could\'ve sent a car to pick you up."

"Thank you, but I\'m fine. There\'s no need to treat me with too much of a special care. I just came to extend my congratulations in person to our Meixing who immortalized my mother in the film. Even if I die now, I\'ll always be forever grateful to all of you for letting the world know about my mother\'s sacrifices so that I can succeed despite my disability. I know that she\'s watching us from the other side and feels so proud."

Some people who heard him teared up.

Now that Guan Jintao came, the party became livelier. Others could see that the interactions between Iris Long, Yin Meixing, and Guan Jintao were very natural.

They might have doubted Yin Meixing because she was an actress, but they wouldn\'t doubt Guan Jintao. He had no reason to pretend to be on good terms with anyone. He was already a legend in his own right who brought glory to the country with a gold medal in the Paralympics.

While everyone enjoyed the party and interacted with each other, Lin Dong and Jin Liwei received a call at the same time on their phones. The two of them excused themselves to answer their respective phone calls.

Jin Liwei was the first to return after a few minutes. Nobody could discern anything from his stoic expression but Iris could sense his excitement.

Before she could ask him, she saw Lin Dong jogging at them. His excitement was almost bursting out.

"What happened?" Jin Chonglin asked his manager.

"We got it!" Lin Dong announced.

Jin Chonglin frowned. "We got what?"

"The IP adaptation rights to Princess Porkchop\'s webtoon, \'Queen of the Shadows\'. We got it!!!"

Iris\' eyes widened. She turned to look at her husband.

He nodded. His expression was no longer stoic. There was now a slight smile on his lips.

Before she could express her own excitement, Dom ran to her with her phone.

"It\'s my twin sis, Meimei!" he announced.

It was now Iris\' turn to excuse herself with her phone.

"Hello, Meimei?!"

The answer she got was a long, loud scream.

Iris removed the phone from her ear or else she would become deaf from her friend\'s screams.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Xiulan, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!"

Finally, Meimei calmed down. Or at least calmed down enough to stop trying to make Iris\' ears bleed.

Meimei: "Did you hear about it? Xiulan, did you get the news?!"

Iris laughed. "Yes, I did. We got the rights to adapt your webtoon."

Meimei: "I\'m so happy! You don\'t know how much I fought in your favour. My publisher was leaning toward accepting Bright Summit\'s offer, but I insisted on wanting to sell to LXC Studio. Good thing that your husband sent his assistant to help negotiate. It\'s a done deal! Yay!"

Dom heard the conversation. He started jumping around and dancing in victory.

"Congrats, Twin Sis! Congrats, Boss!"

Meimei also heard him. "Thank you, Twin Bro! This is the best news that I\'ve received today!"

Iris was also happy. "This day calls for another celebration. Do you have time to join us here for lunch? I\'ll send Dom to pick you up."

Meimei\'s voice wilted. "Urgh! I don\'t have time! I still have a deadline to meet! I\'ve earned so much money from my webtoon but I don\'t have time to even spend on anything. Wuwuwuwuwu! I\'m so pitiful."

Dom leaned towards the phone. "That\'s okay, Twin Sis. I\'ll pack up some delicious food for you here and deliver them to you later."

Iris nodded in approval.

"Thanks, Twin Bro. Thanks, Xiulan. Oh no! I have to go back to drawing! See you later. Bye!"

The phone call ended.

Iris shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Meimei was indeed pitiful. She couldn\'t even enjoy the fruits of her labour.

She and Dom returned to the party. Everyone was curious about what happened, but Iris and the others didn\'t reveal anything.

It would be a secret until the time to announce arrived.
