The next day, all the entertainnt news and online discussions were talking about last night’s episode of "MusicFest Tonight". It topped the TV ratings and even broke an online record as the most viewed local episode within 24 hours.
Needless to say, Director He was very pleased. It even made the national news, featuring the festival-like atmosphere among the fans watching the show in tents outside the TV station building. The people praised Iris Long, Jin Chonglin and Director He for taking care of the fans waiting outside in the cold. It even prompted the other fandoms to complain and demand their respective celebrities to treat them better.
Both the final two performances of the episode beca top trending online. The people couldn’t get enough of Iris Long and Pandemonium’s spectacular performance and their bizarre music. Similarly, many swooned after watching Jin Chonglin’s emotional performance.
Their music were the total opposite of each other. The people couldn’t decide which one was better. Finally, soone posted an online poll. It was titled "Which song is better?". So far, the results were:
69.73% - "Hey, It’s " by Jin Chonglin
30.27% - "Monster of Insanity" by Iris Long and Pandemonium
Jin Chonglin was winning. However, it was not surprising. His army of fans far outnumbered the combined forces of the Black Stars and the Pandemonium fans by a large margin.
A fairer result would only be obtained once their music debuted in less than a week, and the reviews of music critics and the response of the general public started pouring in. The mont of truth would be determined by how "Monster of Insanity" and "Hey, It’s " perford in the music charts.
While all of these were happening, the artists in question were hard at work in promoting their upcoming music. Bright Summit spared no expense in giving the best resources to their artists. But of course, the higher-ups still placed more importance on Jin Chonglin based on his longer track record and extent of popularity.
Despite this, Tang Yiyi fought fiercely to obtain top-notch resources for both Iris Long and Pandemonium. She was determined to elevate the status of her own artists she was managing within the company. She wanted to show the higher-ups that Iris Long would be the next big thing alongside Jin Chonglin.
She found it quite funny that these two artists were actually future in-laws. It would benefit Bright Summit trendously to treat Iris Long well. After all, she was the future wife of THE Jin Liwei and the future madam of Jin Corporation, the number one company in the country.
The buzz and anticipation for Jin Chonglin’s new album and Iris Long and Pandemonium’s upcoming single continued to increase as the days passed by.

Dragon Palace Ho #10.
Monday night. Four more days until the launch of Iris and Pandemonium’s single "Monster of Insanity".
Jin Liwei stepped out of the walk-in closet. He was wearing pyjama pants with no top on. His bare muscled chest was on full display. He rubbed his wet hair with a towel, as he walked to the bedroom. He wanted to shower together with his baby girl earlier, but she was busy on the phone. Not only was she discussing her work schedule with her manager, but she was also busy making important business calls regarding her companies.
She was still on the phone by the window. She spoke in German, so it was likely that she was talking to the Bauer siblings about Orchidia Beauty. He didn’t want to interrupt her, so he just waited. He saw so docunts on the low table. Curious, he sat down on the chaise longue and began checking them out.
About half an hour later, Iris finally completed all the phone calls. She heaved a big sigh of relief. When she turned, she saw Jin Liwei looking through the docunts she left on the low table earlier. They were endorsent offers for her. She frowned when she realized that he ssed up the organized piles she made.
"Darling, please don’t mix them up. I already separated them into the ones I’ll accept and the ones I’ll reject."
"I know," he murmured.
She walked to him and tried to rearrange the docunts back to how she originally organized them, but he didn’t let her. Annoyed, she scowled at him.
"Darling, what are you doing?"
"This is the accept pile and this is the reject pile. Am I right?"
"Yes. So you knew. Why did you ss them up then?" She sighed, feeling a bit exasperated at him.
"You made a mistake and put one of the endorsents in the wrong pile," he said.
"Hm? Really? Which one?"
"This." He showed her the docunt.
It was an endorsent offer from a high-end lingerie brand. Many famous celebrities, models and even socialites already confird that they loved the products. Even so foreign celebrities and supermodels reportedly liked using them.
"Oh, it’s not a mistake. I was planning on accepting that endorsent offer," she told him.
He imdiately stiffened and scowled.
She ignored him and tried taking the docunt from his hand but he refused to let it go. He even gripped it harder, making the papers wrinkle.
"What are you doing?! Darling, why are you being so obnoxious? Give it to !" Her patience reached its limit. She was tired and didn’t want to deal with his childishness. So she snapped at him.
"Love, you are NOT going to accept this endorsent." There was anger in his tone.
"What did you say?! You’re not going to make that decision for ! I already decided that I want to accept this endorsent so I will!"
His face contorted in fury. Iris didn’t back down and glared at him.
He abruptly stood up and paced back and forth. He took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. His hands continued to grip the docunt, wrinkling it more. He wanted to rip the blasted endorsent offer into pieces, but he knew that it was just going to upset his baby girl even further. He was desperately trying to calm himself down, but he just couldn’t accept her decision. He stopped pacing and faced her.
"Love, think more carefully about this, okay? Please don’t accept this endorsent offer," he begged her.
Iris already felt angry seeing the wrinkled state of the docunt. She didn’t understand why he was so upset. The brand was by a well-known and respected company who was competitive in the international market. Why wasn’t he happy that she received an endorsent from such a great company?
"Darling, I really want to accept that endorsent offer," she told him. "The majority of my lingerie and nightwear are from that brand. I love using their products. They’re beautiful, high quality and very comfortable to wear. You even told before that you like them too and that I look sexy wearing them!"
"Yes, I like them when you wear them in PRIVATE, showing only to ." He waved the docunt in his hand. "If you really love their products, I’ll buy the whole d*mn company for you! You’ll have a lifeti supply! Why must you endorse them? Endorsing ans you’ll have to do a photo shoot while wearing these...these lingerie...and then they’ll use your photos and videos wearing only underwear in their ads for all the world to see! How do you think I’ll feel knowing that other n are ogling your beautiful body wearing only underwear?! Love, I can’t! Please, I beg you. Don’t do this!"
Iris froze and blinked her eyes a few tis after hearing his reason.
His shoulders were heaving as he panted. He continued to grip the docunt. His eyes implored her to understand him.
"Love, look at it this way. Imagine a photo or video of naked being seen by countless other won. How would you feel?"
"No way! You’re mine!"
Intense possessiveness and fury gushed forth from within her as she imagined such a situation. A strong urge to strangle all those won overwheld her.
