His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1491  Respect the Original Author’s Wishes

Yin Meixing's contract signing with LXC Studio was a big success. Immediately after she became LXC Studio's managed artist, she went on to pose for several popular magazines including the reputable À la Mode Magazine as the cover for the following month's edition.

Tang Yiyi was her assigned manager who also managed Iris Long's showbiz career. LXC Studio prepared a lot of resources for her. It was obvious that they had high hopes for Yin Meixing.

Iris visited her office at LXC Studio to examine Yin Meixing's resources. Her manager, Tang Yiyi, who was also the company's Deputy Chief of Talent Management was present.

There was a brief knock on the door before it opened. Jin Chonglin walked inside followed by his long-time manager, Lin Dong, who was also LXC Studio's Chief of Talent Management.

At first, everyone suggested Lin Dong to manage Yin Meixing, but he declined. He was truly too busy managing just Jin Chonglin and running the company's Talent Management Department. In the end, Tang Yiyi stepped in and became Yin Meixing's manager.

Jin Chonglin acted like he was in his own office. He headed straight to Iris' mini fridge, opened it, and took a bottle of mango juice for himself.

Then he asked the others, "Anyone wants a drink?"

"Go ahead, feel at home," Iris said in a wry tone.

He shrugged and continued waiting for the others' reply.

"No, thank you, I'm fine," Tang Yiyi said. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Bottle of guava juice for me," Lin Dong said, not feeling shy either.

Jin Chonglin took a bottle of guava juice and tossed it at his manager. Lin Dong caught it, immediately uncapped it, and drank.

"Ah, this stuff is delicious," Lin Dong commented before asking, "Where did you buy this?"

"Dom imported those drinks from the Philippines," Iris said. "He also got some nice Filipino snacks in that cabinet over there."

Jin Chonglin indeed treated the place like his own home. He didn't feel embarrassed at all opening the cabinet and taking several snacks for himself and his manager inside an office that didn't belong to him.

"This dried mango is out of this world," Jin Chonglin said while chewing and reading the pack of dried mango.

"I love these pork rinds," Lin Dong said next. The crunch from his bites filled the office. "Ah, I suddenly want a beer."

"Enough of that," Tang Yiyi interrupted the two of them. "We still have some important business to discuss here. Xiulan—"

Iris paused right after tossing a couple pieces of cracker nuts into her mouth. She chewed once, twice, but the crunchy sound couldn't be hidden. In the end, she just chewed with pride and swallowed the snack. Then she cleared her throat.

Tang Yiyi: "You!"

"What?" Iris took a can of coconut water and drank it. "These cracker nuts are so good. Little Jun loves eating them."

Tang Yiyi shook her head. "Those are considered junk food, Xiulan. Mind what you eat. You need to watch your figure as we have to prepare for your comeback soon."

"I know. I just ate two tiny pieces." Iris shrugged before handing the opened pack of cracker nuts to Jin Chonglin who immediately tossed a handful into his mouth.

"Hey, you also need to watch your figure!" Lin Dong scolded him.

"I'll just work out an extra hour later," Jin Chonglin said in a carefree tone. "No worries."

The two managers glanced at each other with helpless expressions.

Iris sat down on the opposite couch. Tang Yiyi sat beside her.

"What's the status of our 'Queen of the Shadows' project?" Iris asked, beginning today's meeting.

"We've already secured the director," Lin Dong said. "The screenwriter, not yet. But we've already extended an invitation. We're still waiting for the response."

She nodded. "Once the relevant people in the production team are finalized, I want Yin Meixing to be included in the cast."

"That's a given." Tang Yiyi nodded.

Lin Dong: "But Princess Porkchop doesn't want anyone to play the female lead besides you, Iris."

Jin Chonglin snorted. "You?"

Iris sent him a death glare. She ignored him and spoke to the two managers instead. "I read the webtoon from the beginning to the latest chapters. I will definitely struggle in the more emotional parts, but I can do the many action scenes."

Tang Yiyi: "I already scheduled acting classes for you. There's still plenty of time to prepare before we finish preparations to begin filming."

Lin Dong: "So you've already decided to accept the female lead role?"

Iris sighed. "We have to respect the original author's wishes. She included in the rights purchase contract that she wants the final say in the choosing of actors to play the main characters. Since she keeps on insisting that she wants me, I have to at least try. If I can't really do it, then we can still find a replacement. I'll still be involved in the project either way because I'll compose the soundtrack and I'll be an executive producer."

Jin Chonglin: "I also want to be an executive producer for the project!"

Iris: "Alright. Prepare a lot of money because this will be an expensive project."

He felt a little offended by her words. "I, Prince Lin Lin, might lack a baby but I never lack money!"

His manager, Lin Dong, quickly looked around the office, feeling paranoid that someone might be eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Are you crazy?" Lin Dong scolded him. "What do you mean you might lack a baby?! Do you want to be a father so badly?!"

Iris snickered but wasn't surprised.

Lin Dong paled. "Is Chen Fei pregnant?!"

Iris' eyes widened and she looked at Jin Chonglin, her eyes filled with accusation.

Jin Chonglin choked on the mango juice he was drinking. He coughed and sputtered, trying to get his breathing to normal. "What are you talking about?! My girlfriend isn't pregnant! Wait…let me call her to make sure!"

He fished out his phone from his pocket and quickly called Chen Fei.

"Hello, babe? Are you pregnant?"

Two seconds pause.

"Hello? Babe, hello?! Dammit! She hung up on me!"
