The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1121 - Beat The Record

In the audience, Jae was translating what V said to Alric Bauer in English. Although Alric was working hard learning the language in the last few months, he still had a long way to go in understanding formal speeches. His English wasn't that proficient either but at least it was many times better than his understanding of the local language. It was such a hard language to learn, in his opinion. Fortunately, Jae was a very expressive person. His English translation included exaggerated body gestures and facial expressions that made it easier for Alric to understand the meaning.

Upon understanding that V was thanking him, Alric smiled and nodded at the man on the stage. His reaction was caught on camera and shown on the large screen above the stage.

Loyal Orchidia Beauty users respected him a lot because if there was no Alric Bauer, there would be no amazing and nearly miraculous skincare products. Of course, Jennie also deserved a great deal of credit for poaching a talented person like him and bringing him all the way from Germany to the country in order to create a company to sell the enhanced versions of his all-natural homemade skincare products.

While the emcee continued interviewing V and Chaeng on stage, Jae noticed his friend fidgeting beside him.

"Jisoo, are you okay?" he asked.

Jisoo was startled a little at his question before looking guilty. She tried to hide her real feelings behind a smile. "I'm okay. Don't worry about me, Jae."

"Hmmm." Jae squinted his eyes at her. "Do you want to leave now and go to the hospital to stay with Big Bro Boss Jiyong?"

Her reaction showed that Jae hit bullseye. "Uhm...."

Jae giggled but his eyes quickly turned sad. He sighed. "I really hope that Big Bro Boss wakes up soon."

Her eyes watered but she quickly blinked and bit her lower lip to prevent herself from turning into a sobbing mess. Her makeup took a long time to finish. She wasn't going to ruin it by crying in public. She nodded, not trusting herself to speak because her throat already felt choked up with her emotions.

"Jisoo, just wait until we officially launch Prince's products and open them for orders. Then you can leave and head to the hospital. My handsome and beautiful self will cover for you."

Jisoo felt tempted but she ended up shaking her head. "Thanks, Jae, but I need to stay until the event ends later tonight. I can't just leave everything to COO Chaeng especially since the President is already absent due to her bed rest."

"Okay, Sis. Don't worry. It's only one night anyway and it'll soon be over. You can stay with Big Bro Boss tomorrow. Maybe you can also persuade Grandpa Boss to take a rest. Boss and Sir Boss are so worried about him."

She sighed. "I know. I already tried persuading Grandpa to rest many times before but he refused to leave Jiyong's side. I can't force him to leave. If not for work, I don't want to leave Jiyong's side either, so I can understand Grandpa."

Jae sighed. They sighed together. Their thoughts were filled of the comatose Jiyong who still hadn't shown any signs of waking up since he collapsed.

"Pay attention," Alric rebuked the two of them.

Jisoo looked embarrassed and immediately turned her face forward to the stage while Jae ehehe'd and winked at the annoyed German.

Finally, V and Chaeng announced the start of the countdown to officially launch the exclusive Prinz men's line and open it for orders. Almost all the guests in the audience took out their phones in anticipation.

Similar to when Orchidia Beauty launched its first batch of products for the first time, there was a limit of purchase per person. This time, however, the limit was increased to five. Meaning, one person could buy five multiples of the same product. There were a number of products in the Prinz men's line so a person could buy a lot despite the limit.

Despite this being a men's line, there were still more women than men who attended tonight's launch event. The women also looked like they were going to buy the men's products. Perhaps they were buying them for the men in their lives, or try the products themselves for curiosity's sake, or buy them as collectibles just for the simple reason that they loved their Prince and wanted to support him no matter what.

"The moment has come, ladies and gentlemen," the emcee announced, hyping the audience with great expertise. "Prince, COO Chaeng, please do the honours."

"Of course," V said, flashing his killer smile.

Chaeng nodded.

The large screen above the stage flickered and showed the number 10 as the start of the countdown.

"10!" V and Chaeng shouted together along with everyone.

"9...8..."

"...3...2...1!!!"

"Order, order, order NOW!!!" V urged everyone.

His fans immediately started another timer. Ever since they learned that their Prince was creating an exclusive men's line of skincare products with Orchidia Beauty, they all wanted him to beat the five-second record that Orchidia Beauty achieved during its grand launch.

"1..2...3—"

"Aaaaaah! We did it!"

"Wait, did we really do it?"

"Prince, we beat the record!"

Chaeng bent forward on the edge of the stage and asked her assistant for confirmation. An excited-looking Jisoo followed her, listening to the conversation. Of course, the curious emcee didn't want to be left behind, so he followed the two of them as well.

Jae and Jisoo looked at each other. They couldn't help but become excited as well. In contrast, Alric looked the most relaxed out of all of them. Jae turned to him and explained that V might have broken the previous five-second record.

"I already expected this," Alric replied, cool as a cucumber. "He's a superstar, right? It's only natural that he'll break the record. If he doesn't, then it means that he's not as great as you all claim him to be. And most importantly, the products I developed for his men's line are top-notch."

"The expenses during their development are top-notch, too," Jisoo muttered under her breath.
