His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
Chapter 1288: Orchidia Mommy And Orchidia BabyIris Long also used the opportunity at the magazine interview to announce two new brands that she would be launching soon—Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby.
This meant a reorganization in the original Orchidia Beauty.
The company itself would now be known as just Orchidia while Orchidia Beauty, Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby would become brands under it.
Of course, Orchidia Company would still remain under its parent company, Eve Holdings. That wouldn't change.
The administrative management of Orchidia wouldn't change much either. Iris Long remained as the President-CEO, Chen Fei as the COO and Long Jinjing as the CFO. However, the newly expanded company now hired additional staff to fill in the necessary positions to keep everything running smoothly.
"My sister who is the CFO of Orchidia is also pregnant like me," Iris Long said in the interview. "The two of us made the decision to add these two new Orchidia brands in order to cater to women like us who are pregnant and will soon become parents. We are committed to using our own firsthand experiences to provide consumers with safe and high-quality products that are also as eco-friendly as possible. Our Chief of Product Development, Alric Bauer, and all his fellow researchers and developers are always doing their best to innovate and even invent new technology for all the products Orchidia sells to our precious consumers."
The announcement was a hit.
Existing loyal Orchidia Beauty consumers who were also mothers couldn't wait for the launch of Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby. They already knew the excellent quality of each and every Orchidia Beauty products. They felt that it was only natural that Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby, or any other future brands under Orchidia for that matter, would also adhere to the company's promise of safe and high-quality products.
That same week, Iris Long led the extensive promotional activities for the launch of Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby. For events where she couldn't attend in person, she would still give a few words via live video chat or even just recorded video messages.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuring this time, pre-orders were opened. In just two days, the pre-orders for both Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby products were sold out.
The wait for the official launch didn't last long.
Just another week later, Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby finally launched at the same time. Due to the advance state of her pregnancy, Iris Long opted to throw a rather simple launch party for the two new Orchidia brands.
It was even smaller than the opening ceremony of Eve Holdings held earlier this year. Despite this, the launch of Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby still received widespread media attention.
Iris Long even composed catchy commercial jingles for both Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby. The jingles were so catchy that schoolchildren could be heard singing them.
The product variety for now was quite limited but Iris Long promised that Orchidia would release more in the coming months after the products completed and passed their intensive safety tests.

Orchidia.
The exhausted Chen Fei dragged her high-heeled feet to the President-CEO's office. There, she found Iris and Long Jinjing who were both pregnant, munching on a rather impressive spread of snacks and sweets. Lots and lots of sweets.
Eating with them was the perpetual chatterbox Dom with his bottomless stomach. He was actually eating more than the two pregnant ladies combined but his belly remained flat.
Truly an annoying creature especially for those who had to control their food intake just to avoid getting fat.
Chen Fei grabbed a random sandwich from the table and plopped down on the couch beside Dom, the glutton.
"Fuck me," she grumbled while tearing into her sandwich. "This year is so hectic!"
"Sis Xiaofei, you're pretty and successful, so if you want to be fucked, I'm sure that there will be lots of guys lining up to sleep with you," Dom said.
Chen Fei rolled her eyes. "Shut up, Dom."
"Hehehe. Maybe a certain superstar with a killer smile will take you up on your offer."
She glared at him. "Him? Eeew! No way!"
"Why not?" Dom countered. "Prince Lin Lin is the object of many fantasies, you know."
"Not mine! So what if he's a superstar? As if I care. I'm not interested in a playboy like him. What if I catch a venereal disease from him? So dirty! Yuck!"
"Xiaofei, you're being too harsh," Long Jinjing said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Whatever. I'm just being honest."
"I don't think Brother Chonglin has dated anyone after what happened with Fan Luo," Iris commented.
Dom's expression turned ugly. "Fan Luo, that evil witch! I'll never forgive that monster! Just saying her name is dirtying my gorgeous self! Pweh!"
Everyone became quiet.
The topic of Fan Luo, Jin Chonglin's ex-fiancée who orchestrated the deadly car crash which sent Iris into a year-long coma, had always been a touchy subject.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Long Jinjing said in an effort to recover from the heavy atmosphere.
She glanced at her younger sister with worry. When she saw that Iris looked normal, she inwardly sighed with relief.
Iris noticed her concern and smiled. "Don't worry. Fan Luo is already paying the price for her crimes. There's no need to be careful when talking about that woman around me. I'm not that fragile."
"Yeah, you're a boss bitch," Chen Fei said. "You can't be a boss bitch if you're fragile. Hell, I'm a boss bitch myself. Even Jinjing who's usually shy is also a boss bitch. Just watch her whenever someone overspends company budget and she'll chew that person's head out with vengeance."
"Xiaofei!" Long Jinjing's face turned red.
"Hahahahaha!"
Everyone laughed because it was true.
Long Jinjing might not be usually as assertive as either Iris or Chen Fei, but she would always transform into a fire-breathing dragon when it came to safeguarding the company money. It was always a huge hurdle for anyone to make her cough out extra money without any careful deliberation.
She pouted while looking at her friends laughing at her expense.. But she was also glad that they finally moved on from the dark topic about Fan Luo.
