His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Jin Liwei watched the comment section of the Singapore livestream. It had become a warzone. Since the original insults were vulgar, the Filipino Slippers Army didn't hold back in their retaliation. They shot harsher profanities at the bashers, abusing them so much that Jin Liwei couldn't help but cringe from reading some of them.

Although Black Stars Philippines had only been established a few days ago and the Filipinos shouldn't have developed such deep loyalty for Iris Long to defend her almost to the death like this, they were the kind of netizens who would support people they liked without any reservations. But make no mistake. Get on their wrong side and they would gang up on a common enemy without any mercy.

They joined the Black Stars mainly because they learned that Iris Long's best friend and assistant was a Filipino like them and that she was also treating Dominic Chua's family very well. Since she was treating their fellow Filipinos like family, then they would also treat her well by supporting her. 

It also went without saying that they liked her as a celebrity. They didn't know anything about her before the Chinese TV drama, "Our Love, Our Destiny", became a hit in many Asian countries including the Philippines. Its opening theme song was very memorable and also became very popular. Iris Long's single with superstar Jin Chonglin, "Shining Eyes", had topped the Filipino music charts while the TV drama was still airing. This put the name of Iris Long in the Filipino consciousness for the first time. 

After finding out more about her after joining Black Stars Philippines, they became even more impressed by her, not only as a celebrity but also as a person. They wanted to get to know her better and wished that she could visit the Philippines one day. 

These feelings fueled them in defending her against her bashers in the Singapore livestream. Granted, most of them acted because of mob mentality. Once a single member of their group acted first, they all followed suit and fought together as one. 

Their actions didn't have that much to do with their loyalty for Iris Long but that was because they only recently knew about her. Most of them intended to become her real fans after watching her in today's livestream. They found her to be beautiful, intelligent, elegant, classy and also very kind to her fans. This kind of person was someone worth following.

Of course, her husband's special contest was a huge bonus. Many of them won amazing prizes. CEO Jin Liwei was very generous in a way that didn't make them feel as if he was doing this to appear like a Good Samaritan. Not at all. In fact, all they could see was a husband doting on his wife by rewarding all the fans that had been supporting her. This made them have a very good impression of the husband and wife. 

The Chinese Slippers Army was a little late but some of them also joined the warzone in the Singapore livestream. KittyBaby and MonkeyFace gave them a way to access the foreign livestreaming platform and fight together with their Filipino brothers and sisters.

The fierce battle didn't last too long. 

"All done, Daddy!" Ketchup announced to Jin Liwei's earpiece, her voice smug with victory. "The cute and mighty Ketchup has now cleared all the poopoo-heads from the Singapore livestream. Meow~"

"Father, those Eagle cowards ran away from Bacon and ShaWn," Bacon said next.

Jin Liwei tapped on his ear in Morse code. 'Good job.'

Behind the cameras, Tang Yiyi was waving her hands at Iris, catching her attention and mouthing some words at her. The manager knew that Iris could read lips. 

Iris pursed her lips but it was very quick, lasting for less than a second, that nobody noticed it, not even Jin Liwei. She gave an imperceptible nod at her manager before smiling at the camera. 

"My dear Black Stars, thank you for always supporting me and defending my name. But I hope that you all remember that we are a peace-loving people. Please don't go too far. We are all better than them."

In all the comments sections, the Black Stars said:

"We understand, Boss Iris! Please don't worry. We only wield our mighty slippers of justice against those who truly deserve a beating."

"Boss Iris, rest assured that we'll be careful not to let our actions have a negative impact on you."

"Hehe. No worries. We never leave any evidence. Even if they accuse us, it's useless without concrete proof. All hail the mighty slippers!"

To make a point, this recent comment was deleted right away. All that was left in the comments section were positive and wholesome comments supporting each other. Those who didn't know about the Slippers Army of the Black Stars before this would definitely think that they were the most peace-loving fan club to ever exist just based on the comments that were left in the livestream. 

Jin Liwei heard Ketchup giggling. "With the cute and mighty Ketchup here, nobody will be able to accuse my mommy of not being able to control her own fans. Ketchup doesn't care about what other poopoo-heads say. Black Stars are the bestest fans forever and ever! Slippers Army are the fiercest keyboard warriors forever and ever! Meow~"

He glanced at Tang Yiyi. His wife's manager looked visibly relieved upon seeing that the comments were once again properly regulated. He approved of how much the manager wanted to protect his wife's image and reputation. 

However, he wouldn't allow anyone, including himself, to limit his wife from doing what she wanted for the sake of protecting her image. After all, image was just that. It could be changed, re-packaged, and presented again to the public in a new light. 

As long as his wife was happy, he didn't care about what kind of image she wanted to present to the public. Of course, he would still protect her from anyone who dared to criticize her. Did they think that his wife, Madam Jin, was easy to bully? Foolish people!

Finally, the acoustic guitar had arrived. The butler passed it to Dom who then handed it to Iris. She started tuning it while chatting about the special song that she wanted to dedicate to the Black Stars.
