HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR

551 - 560

Chapter 551 - Approval

Long Jinjing excused herself from the party, whispering to her sister and friends that she needed to go to the women's powder room. But the truth was that she desperately needed some time alone to make sense of everything that just happened.

Although she was a daughter of Long Tengfei, President-CEO of Long Industries, she never considered herself as someone more special or of higher status than anyone. She was just Long Jinjing, child of Sun Jingfei, owner of a small bookstore.

She wasn't a celebrity like her sister Xiulan, nor the heir apparent like her eldest brother Hui, or even a competitive high achiever like her second brother Jian. She only studied hard because she wanted to make her mother proud and to show her father that she appreciated him paying for her expensive education. That was it.

A simple, peaceful life with her mother...then someday with her own family of a gentle, loving husband and their cute children. That was what she always wanted.

But before she knew it, she and her best friend Chen Fei declined her father's job offer and worked for her sister's company instead. And now she was a Chief Financial Officer right after graduating from university. Not only that, their company Orchidia Beauty was now the hottest trending topic in the beauty community. They sold out their pre-orders... Then tonight, they sold out everything in their inventory in five seconds.

FIVE SECONDS!!!!!

Her brain automatically crunched the numbers.

Just from the revenue of tonight's sales alone, the estimated net profit of Orchidia Beauty after all expenses and taxes were deducted would still instantly make the company a million-dollar company.

"Add the revenue from the pre-order sales from before and that's more than a million dollars in pure profit. US dollars, not RMB. And this is only from the first batch of products released in the country," Long Jinjing murmured as she continued walking in the dark hallway. "Oh my God."

She pressed her hand against the cold and hard wall, while her other hand clutched her chest, trying to steady her wildly beating heart. Closing her eyes, she took a few deep breaths to stop herself from having a full-blown panic attack.

When did her life suddenly took a sharp turn and become so amazing like this?

An image of her beautiful sister appeared in her mind.

Iris' existence was like the devil to Long Jinjing's life before, especially when they were younger. She couldn't count how many times she cried in anguish after her sister tormented her in the past. She hated and resented Iris for bullying her, yet she couldn't make herself fight back because she felt ashamed for being an illegitimate child. She always thought that if the two of them fought, she would be always the one to lose because Iris was the legitimate daughter while she was not. So she just endured...and endured...but it hurt so much. Yet she still endured despite the pain because she saw that her mother, Sun Jingfei, did. If her mother could endure and stay strong, then she could do so too.

And it seemed that enduring for all those years paid off because her sister changed for the better after waking up from coma. Iris was no longer a malicious bully. Her beautiful face now reflected a beautiful heart.

Although the scars from Iris' bullying all those years ago couldn't be completely erased from her heart and mind, Long Jinjing couldn't find it in herself to retain any lingering hatred or resentment for her sister. She didn't how to explain it in a logical way.

"It's as if the Xiulan back then and the Xiulan now are two completely different people," she murmured as her eyes opened.

Now calmer, she continued to walk along the dark and empty hallway. The rhythmic click-clack of her high heels on the floor slowed down her heartbeat and cleared her mind, almost sending her into a meditative state.
