His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Tang Yiyi sighed once again. "Iris, I'm just glad that you managed to control yourself and didn't continue speaking so harshly to the interviewer even when he was being so rude to you. Although he deserves it, we have to be careful in maintaining your good reputation at this time, especially now that we're building up your image as a savvy celebrity businesswoman. It's better to solidify your image first before dealing with any sort of scandals because others might accuse you of acting too cocky now that you're becoming more famous and influential."

Iris opened her eyes.

"I know what you're going to say," Tang Yiyi said before Iris could open her mouth. "You'll say that you don't give a whit about what others think about you, but it's my job as your manager to build a good image and maintain a sterling reputation for you."

"I understand, Elder Sister Yiyi. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you," Iris replied. Then added, "But I was telling the truth earlier."

"What truth?"

"What the news anchor said during the interview was really the most stupid thing that I heard today."

"Ehehehe. True! Boss is right!" Dom said.

Tang Yiyi's mouth twitched. Although she agreed with Iris, she didn't say it out loud. All she could do was sigh again, a resigned expression on her face.

'Oh well. She's not Iris if she's not straightforward like this,' she thought to herself.

After the live broadcast of Iris Long's interview on the business news program, a debate erupted online. Since the news program was on cable TV, not many people watched the show. It also didn't help that the program was about business, something that failed to catch most of the general public's interest.

Despite this, today's episode still garnered a higher than usual number of viewers because of its special guest, Iris Long. It was a given that the Black Stars would force themselves to watch a business news program just so they could support their boss. This showed how deep their loyalty was to her because even if they didn't understand most of the things being discussed in the program, they still endured and continued to watch it for her.

The debate online was caused by the regular viewers of the business program versus the Black Stars and Iris Long's other supporters.

"There are so many successful and REAL businesspeople that they could interview. Why interview a singer like Iris Long? I don't get it."

"Many business programs and magazines are now featuring her because her new company, Orchidia Beauty, sold out in 5 seconds. Apparently, that's an amazing new record—here in the country, at least."

"So what? It has only been one time. Maybe it was just a fluke. There's no guarantee that her company would repeat a feat like that again in the future."

"I know, right? I was so surprised that Iris Long was interviewed in this news program. For a moment, I thought I was watching a showbiz news show instead of a business one. I approve of the news anchor giving her a hard time. She deserved it."

The Black Stars immediately swarmed to defend their boss.

"Wow. So many bitter people jealous of Boss Iris as always. Just because you can't copy her achievements, you resort to trying to pull her down. Pathetic!"

"And about that rude excuse of a news anchor, yes, he tried giving Boss Iris a hard time but did he succeed? Oh, HELL NO! The opposite happened, actually. Boss was the one who gave the rude bastard a hard time."

"That's because the boss is not only beautiful but smart as well! It's clear that she did her homework before going into the interview. She answered everything perfectly! Yes, we all know that she didn't have the best academic grades when she was in high school, but she's a late bloomer. What's wrong with that?"

The critics didn't back down.

"She answered perfectly because she's well-prepared. Maybe someone leaked the interview questions to her beforehand, allowing her to prepare appropriate answers."

"That's a serious allegation! Let my mighty slippers be the judge of whether your allegation makes sense… My mighty slippers final judgment is…GO TO HELL!!!"

"What did you say? Say that again?!"

The Black Stars started fighting another online battle to defend their Boss Iris' name. The Slippers Army was called to action. LittlePhoenix had school so she was unavailable. For a few moments, the Slippers Army were all over the internet, trolling enemies left and right with their mighty slippers without directions until finally….

<strong>KittyBaby:</strong> "Meow! KittyBaby is back, reporting for duty!"

The morale of the Black Stars, especially the Slippers Army, was instantly boosted upon KittyBaby's arrival. Many remembered her as an organized, highly efficient and vicious leader. Ignoring her weird manner of speaking, her trolling skills were highly respected on the same level, if not higher, than the original Slippers Army leader, iEatSlippers.

"Welcome back, KittyBaby! We missed you!"

"Please lead us to victory on the battlefield, Commander KittyBaby! Our mighty slippers await your instructions!"

<strong>KittyBaby:</strong> "Prepare your mighty paws—I mean your mighty slippers and follow my lead! Hear us roar. Mreow!!!"

"MREEEEOOOOOW!!!

"Aaaaaw. What an adorable roar!"

And with that, KittyBaby started leading the Slippers Army and the rest of the Black Stars to battle against those who were criticizing their Boss Iris earlier. They overwhelmed the critics with their savage trolling skills until the battle was won.

<strong>KittyBaby:</strong> "Victory! Meow!"

"MEOOOOOOOW!!!"

"Aaaaaw. That's so cute!"

The Slippers Army once again proved to the netizens that they were one of the most infamous troll groups in the internet. In fact, it seemed that they had become even more ruthless under the leadership of KittyBaby. The battle was won so quickly.

"Ah, that was fun."

"Yeah. Commander KittyBaby's trolling skills are so cute but also so savage! She gives orders so fast that I feel like she's everywhere, like there's more than one of her."

"Exactly! It just means that she's super amazing!"

<strong>KittyBaby:</strong> "Ehehehe. KittyBaby is feeling shy. Meow~ (cute blushing kitty emoji)"

"I hope that you lead us to more battles in the future. We missed you while you were gone. What happened? We didn't hear anything from you in the past two weeks!"

<strong>KittyBaby:</strong> "KittyBaby was grounded by my mommy and daddy for being a bad kitty. KittyBaby is not grounded anymore because I'm back to being a good kitty! Meow~"

"You're so cute!"

"That's good to hear. I hope that your mom and dad don't ground you anymore. They're so strict. Anyway, I want to talk about Boss Iris again and what she said during the interview. She just revealed that she's enrolled in a school abroad. I'm so curious to know which school!"

"Me too! I also want to know which country the school is located. Is it in the US? Australia? UK? Maybe Canada? I think these are the most popular destinations for rich Chinese students like her."

"There are also some good universities in Asia. Japan is also popular to Chinese students."

The Black Stars made several guesses.

"Boss Iris said that we'll eventually know in the future when she's ready to reveal it so let's just wait."

"Yes, you're right."

The comradeship between the members of the Black Stars deepened after another fun-filled battle against their boss' detractors. As for KittyBaby, she was welcomed warmly, gaining even more loyal soldiers from the Slippers Army after leading them to yet another victory.
