The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1257:Acquisition

Ever since the night that Lisa formally introduced his AI children to Grandpa, Louis and Luka no longer hid their presence to the old man. As a result, the three could be heard chatting almost all the time.

Louis would chatter nonstop. He was delighted and loved talking to his great-grandfather because the old man never disdained him for being talkative. In fact, Grandpa liked seeking him for company. Even when Louis is busy with his own tasks, he would always be available to accompany his great-grandfather whenever he called for him. His almost god-like multitasking abilities allowed him to be in many places at the same time.

Surprisingly, Luka also liked accompanying Grandpa. Although he didn't talk as much as his older brother, he would still head straight home and keep his great-grandfather company after completing his daily tasks assigned by his Uncle Jiyong.

It wasn't long before he realized that he gained another big backer against his Uncle in the form of Grandpa. Whenever he was unsatisfied with his uncle's treatment of him, he would quickly run to his great-grandfather and tattle. Grandpa would then call Jiyong and scold him for bullying Luka.

The smug Luka became even more so after this discovery of a great backer. His other foolproof backer was his Aunt Jisoo.

Jiyong might bear to ignore Grandpa's harsh scolding, but he would almost always end up giving in to Jisoo especially recently. Not always, but now that she is pregnant with his child and they are engaged, he would grit his teeth and accede to her requests despite his obvious reluctance.

The cunning Luka used Jiyong's newfound weakness whenever possible.

It was unfortunate that he had a pig teammate. His brother, Louis, tattled on him to their parents. In the end, their dad Lisa lectured him for a long time. Fortunately, his father didn't ground him this time.

Unbeknownst to the black cat AI, Lisa didn't ground Luka because he wanted Jiyong to have a bit of a hard time with Grandpa. It was just some petty back and forth antics between the brothers-in-law.

The relationship between Lisa and Jiyong had improved a lot especially after the latter proposed to Jisoo at the Christmas party. This was largely because Lisa provided him with a lot of help and advice to make his proposal a success.

Jiyong also found himself frequently consulting with Lisa on how to better take care of a pregnant woman. Even though Lisa didn't have that long of an experience yet, he was happy to share his personal experiences and offer more advice to his brother-in-law.

Jiyong was still the same alpha man but had become so much more tolerating of things and people that he normally found annoying. His sister, Jennie, was amazed at this positive change.

By this time, Jennie's baby bump is now noticeable. It wasn't that big yet but her unchanging svelte frame made it so that her bigger boobs and belly appeared very prominent.

She and Lisa were still keeping her pregnancy a big secret to the general public. This meant keeping her public appearances to the bare minimum. Her fans, the Black Stars, were missing her like crazy and wished for her to do more shows like before but they would never demand her to do anything that she didn't want to do.

After dropping the bombshell that Jennie was the true owner of the gaming company, Planet Monkey, and that she established her own holding company that housed several companies including JLV Studio that she co-owned with her husband, CEO Manoban, and her brother-in-law, the superstar V, she was once again the talk in the news for several weeks.

She accepted a few carefully selected interviews arranged by her manager Alison through JLV Studio. However, she didn't go to the shows' studios but instead invited the interview hosts to her companies—M Holdings, Orchidia Beauty, JLV Studio and even Planet Monkey. She didn't bother with Gold Heights because it had its own original management that she rarely interfered with since becoming the owner.

These interviews became instant hot topics after they aired.

This was the first time that people saw that Jennie is really now a legitimate businesswoman who knew what she was doing and not just a symbolic boss on paper.

If the interview shows aired about her were to be believed, her leadership skills and abilities were on par with business school graduates like Orchidia Beauty's COO Chaeng and Jennie's half-sister, CFO Jisoo.

The Black Stars were extremely proud of her while some didn't fully believe what they watched on the shows.

The skeptics suspected that the shows were deliberately edited in such a way to project a positive image of Jennie as a competent business leader. Her lack of proof of higher education wasn't doing her any favour in persuading others that she was a natural as a businesswoman.

Despite all these mixed opinions about her business endeavours, Jennie wasn't bothered in the least. She was keeping herself busy with many things while prioritizing her health and pregnancy. Every day was productive and meaningful.

At the moment, she was inside her office at M Holdings. Her executive business assistant had just handed her a Kim Industries stock certificate with her name as proof of ownership of the new shares she acquired through Elder Jufang's mediation. There was a second certificate that she acquired through another more forceful channel.

She remained expressionless while looking at the certificates in her hand. Her executive assistant couldn't guess her thoughts through her face.

"Set up an investment company under M Holdings," she ordered. "From now on, we'll aggressively acquire as much Kim Industries shares as we can. That'll be the main priority of the investment company until I say otherwise."

"Understood, President Kim." The executive assistant jotted a note on his tablet.

When the assistant left, Jennie reclined her seat. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Louis appear on her computer screen.

"Mommy, Uncle Jay left you a voice mail. Meow~"
