His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
Chapter 1114: Real Threat in the Domestic Beauty IndustryAs a man and someone who had a background in Japanese martial arts, karate, Jin Liwei would of course find owning and wielding a katana very cool. It was the ultimate samurai fantasy.
Now that his AI son gifted him with what seemed to be an authentic and valuable katana, he had no intention of returning it to his brother-in-law. He was, however, willing to pay a big amount of money as compensation if his brother-in-law demanded it. Even he couldn't help but wince upon remembering that Bacon only paid 1 RMB for such an exquisite weapon.
"Wake up soon, Nikolai," he murmured. "Fifth Brother, don't make it too difficult for my brother-in-law. Your Third Sister-in-law is worrying herself sick."
He hoped that his thoughts would somehow be transmitted to his comatose brother-in-law including the remnant of his fifth brother. All of them were worried, not only Jin Liwei's wife, and waiting for the moment Lu Zihao would wake up. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOrchidia Beauty booked a grand hall inside a five-star hotel. Tonight was the night. Jin Chonglin's most awaited exclusive men's line for the all-natural beauty company was finally launching.
Inside a hotel suite, Iris' personal makeup artist and hairstylist were busy making Chen Fei and Long Jinjing beautiful for tonight's highly publicized event. To match Jin Chonglin's superstar status, the company invited the media, selected skincare and beauty influencers, some male models and volunteers who tested the products in advance, and several celebrity guests who Jin Chonglin personally requested to attend.
Even some representatives from foreign media and well-known influencers from abroad attended. This was the power of Jin Chonglin's reputation as a superstar.
Although tonight's launch was not on the same level as Orchidia Beauty's grand launch, it was still exceedingly luxurious. It was a black tie event. Everyone had to wear either a dress or a tuxedo or something along those lines. Of course, there was also a red carpet event before the actual launch outside the hotel.
The almost deafening screams of Jin Chonglin's army of fans outside could be heard even inside the hotel. It was a good thing that Chen Fei made preparations for this in advance and coordinated with the hotel security and the police to control the crowd and ensure everyone's safety.
"Oh dear. There are so many people." Long Jinjing couldn't help but tremble upon seeing the seemingly endless sea of fans chanting "We love you, Prince Lin Lin" outside. She subconsciously touched the lily pendant hanging around her neck, seeking comfort and courage from it.
In contrast to her nervousness, her best friend Chen Fei was almost vibrating with excitement. She was beaming. "We're going to earn a fucking fortune tonight! That diva man might be frustrating to work with due to his indecisiveness but nobody can deny that he's a profit magnet. We already sold out all the pre-orders. And now that it's the actual launch, I wonder if Jin Chonglin will be able to beat our original record of selling out our entire inventory in five seconds."
The makeup artist chimed in, "I think that Prince Lin Lin will be able to beat the five-second record because, well, he's Prince Lin Lin!"
"Whether he breaks the original record or not shouldn't be our focus tonight," said the hairstylist while curling Chen Fei's locks. "The most important thing is that this launch of Prince Lin Lin's exclusive men's line will completely stabilize Orchidia Beauty's position as a main player in this country's beauty industry. Boss Iris' company will now become a real threat to all the foreign-based companies that had been dominating our domestic beauty industry. They already hate Orchidia Beauty when we first launched. I bet they hate us even more now!"
Chen Fei gave an evil chuckle, so did the makeup artist and the hairstylist. Long Jinjing watched them looking very much like a trio of villainesses. She shook her head and began wearing a set of pearl jewelry to match her simple yet elegant coral silk dress. Although the lily pendant didn't really match the jewelry set, she refused to remove it. As a result, she decided not to wear the pearl necklace from the jewelry set no matter how beautiful it looked.
While her best friend and the other two continued laughing like evil lunatics, Long Jinjing's mind was elsewhere. Lu Zihao was still comatose and it was breaking her heart to wake up each day knowing that he hadn't woken up yet.
She also couldn't help but pity Grandpa Lu. The old man hadn't left his grandson's side since the night that Lu Zihao fell into coma.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe truth was that she wanted to stay beside Lu Zihao in the hospital tonight instead of attending this important launch. It was making her feel extremely guilty and confused.
Guilty because all of them at Orchidia Beauty including Jin Chonglin worked so hard to make this launch a resounding success no matter what. It would be best if it surpassed the record-breaking grand launch of the company, but even if it didn't, as long as they managed to eventually sell out every single product in Jin Chonglin's men's line, it would still be a great success.
And confused because Long Jinjing felt like she was regressing from her determination to move on from Lu Zihao. She still loved him, no doubt about it, but knowing that the two of them had no future together was stopping her from gambling her feelings away and trying it again with him.
She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. The woman staring right back at her looked like a different person. As expected of her sister's glam team. They were professional and skilled.
There was a knock on the door.
Long Jinjing went to check because the makeup artist and hairstylist were busy working on Chen Fei. She looked at the peephole and smiled upon seeing the new arrival before opening the door.
"The Queen's proxy is in the house~"
Dom sashayed inside the suite and flipped his imaginary long hair with a perfectly manicured hand. His red, glittery tuxedo sparkled under the lights just like his over-the-top personality. Then he struck a pose in front of them before blowing a kiss and waving his hand like a beauty queen.
"Ooooh~ Sis Jing, Sis Fei, you look gorgeous and fabulous just like moi!"
