His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1493  Biggest Threat

At the mention of her beloved godson, Iris\' expression softened. "He\'s recovering well but dealing with a trauma takes time."

Long Jian nodded.

Then she said, "And Little Jun likes the toys and snacks that you sent over for him."

"Glad that he likes them. I have no idea what kids his age like so I had my assistant recommend some stuff to me. I wanted to visit my nephew but you know that I\'m not close to him. I don\'t want to scare him and make him think that I\'m a bad uncle."

She chuckled but didn\'t comment any further about the topic. Whether Long Jian was sincere or not, at least his gifts made her godson happy. That was the most important to her.

Long Jian returned to their previous topic. "Long Hui hasn\'t made any moves to sabotage either of us so far."

She didn\'t say anything but her gaze sharpened. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He continued, "I think that he\'s just biding his time. Even if he doesn\'t make a move, his minions won\'t be able to sit still for long. They\'ll do something sooner or later, especially now that you\'re standing out too much in the company. Hell, in their eyes, you\'re the biggest threat to their crown prince."

She gave him a side glance. "Of course, I\'m the biggest threat."

He returned the side glance and snorted. "That\'s what everyone thinks, but make no mistake, I am the biggest threat. Don\'t get complacent, little sister. Once we beat down Long Hui, I won\'t give up and will definitely snatch the successor position away from you. I\'ll be the final winner!"

"Likewise." She smiled at him before walking away to greet her superior, the CMO, and her colleagues from the Marketing Department.

Long Jian watched her and pursed his lips before snorting again and walking away to join his superior, the COO, and his colleagues.

Nobody thought much about their brief conversation. They looked like they were chatting as usual.

To other people, Deputy COO Long Jian and Deputy CMO Long Xiulan were very close siblings compared to their sour relationship with Deputy CFO Long Hui. Others frequently saw the Deputy COO and Deputy CMO chatting. Nobody knew that they were once hostile to each other.

Only insiders within the Long clan remembered the estranged relationship between the siblings.

But the Young Miss Xiulan before was a huge problem child who disdained all her siblings. It was only after waking up from being comatose that she changed for the better.

It was understandable that she would become close to some of her siblings after maturing. It was also understandable that she would have the worst relationship with her eldest brother, Long Hui, because they were both legitimate children from different mothers.

They were born to be rivals in the battle for succession.

As for Long Jian, although people thought highly of him now due to his excellent performance, nobody really expected him to triumph over his legitimate siblings as the next head of Long Industries.

After Iris showed the CMO and her colleagues around the new cafeteria and recommended some dishes, she glanced at Long Jian on the other side.

She was no longer the naïve caged princess from her past life who had a limited understanding of human relationships and the subtleties of interactions between people. She could sense Long Jian\'s desire to obtain Long Industries.

Truth be told, she also thought he was an excellent candidate to become the next head of the company—at least he was several times better than Long Hui who was easily influenced by his emotions.

Long Jian\'s desire was greater than hers, hands down.

If only she wasn\'t fighting for her godson, Little Jun, then she would have already conceded to Long Jian. In fact, if he didn\'t have such a fixation for Long Industries, she was even tempted to poach him to work in one of her businesses. A talent like him was hard to pass up.

But she knew that he would never accept the offer. He was too fixated on Long Industries.

She couldn\'t help but sigh. Perhaps this was fate.

They were destined to be rivals.

For her godson, she would never concede in this battle for succession. Even if Little Jun turned out to have no interest in the company when he grew up, it didn\'t matter. At least she prevented Long Hui from smoothly succeeding. She could allow other people to become the next head, just not him.

If Long Hui became the next head, he would never let her and their other siblings go peacefully. It was also inevitable that his actions would inadvertently harm his son, Little Jun.

Iris swore never to let this happen again, especially after Little Jun\'s kidnapping incident. Once was enough.

Back to the present, the unveiling of the new cafeteria was a smash hit. There were even outsiders who tried sneaking inside the company just to try eating in the new cafeteria. Of course, they were immediately caught and thrown out with a stern warning.

Iris accepted the employees\' thanks with a smile.

Today was still a working day, so everyone returned to work after a delicious lunch, including Iris.

She stayed at Long Industries and worked for an hour after lunch. After delegating tasks to her assistant, she promptly left when Dom and her bodyguards picked her up before heading straight to the studio to continue recording her new album.

After she left, Long Hui returned to Long Industries, doing the best he could to avoid everyone. He didn\'t want to answer questions about why he was absent during the unveiling of the new cafeteria.

In just a few weeks, he had lost a lot of weight and looked like he hadn\'t slept properly for a long time.
