Chapter 1253 - Same Owner (2/2)
”What a shallow reason. Why did the owner of Planet Monkey agree to this kind of big decision?”
”Maybe the owner is also a big fan of Iris Long.”
”That's actually a good possibility. Planet Monkey's CEO and CFO alone can't make the final decision to make this kind of big decision for the company without the owner's approval. I don't see why the owner will agree to join under a new and unknown holding company when it's such a huge risk. So maybe you're right that the owner is also a Black Star.”
”Hooray for Boss Iris! Hooray for all the slipper-eating monkeys! To friendships and glory! All hail Supreme Ascension!”
At the actual event, the reporters were also curious about the same thing as the livestream viewers regarding Planet Monkey.
”This is a question for CEO Hou. Can you tell us why Planet Monkey decided to join under Iris Long's—”
”Please call her President Long,” Hou Liang corrected the reporter in the middle of asking him. ”She's standing her in front of you today as the head of Eve Holdings.”
Iris glanced at Hou Liang, her eyes widening in slight surprise, before smiling. Before this, the quiet computer nerd wouldn't bother to say things like this to others. It seemed that being a CEO had made him more assertive and not afraid to speak his mind and make a point in front of an audience. She was pleased with his transformation.
Just like her, Jin Liwei was also pleased with how Hou Liang demanded respect for Iris as a business leader especially in today's event—the grand opening of Eve Holdings. His mood improved in an instant.
”—oh, alright. My apologies.” The reporter coughed sheepishly before completing his question while addressing Iris in a proper manner as President Long.
Hou Liang glanced at Iris first before answering. She gave him a brief, almost imperceptible nod.
”Planet Monkey joined Eve Holdings because it's only natural.”
All of the reporters waited for a few more seconds but he didn't say anything more.
”What do you mean that it's only natural?” the reporter asked him again.
”Same owner,” Hou Liang replied.
His words didn't immediately register in people's minds.
”W-wait...Iris Long owns Eve Holdings, so does this mean that she also owns Planet Monkey? She's that mysterious owner?!”
Hou Liang didn't bother speaking and just nodded to confirm the reporter's conclusion.
Jaws dropped.
The reporters looked at Iris.
Her smile was enough confirmation.
WHAT THE HELL?!!!
