After finalizing the in-depth cooperation plans with the modeling agencies, luxury brands, and media companies, Jason handed over all concrete execution to Claire, Lewis, and the rest of the executive team, once again becoming a hands-off chairman.
For Jason, collecting favorability was still the top priority. Getting bogged down in operational details simply wasn't worth his time. Professional matters were best handled by professionals.
That said, Jason still did one extra thing to accelerate the rise of the newly acquired luxury brands. He posted a single update on his private social feed: "Support domestic luxury brands. Quality, design, and culture don't lose to anyone."
If this had been posted by an ordinary person, it would've made barely a ripple. But Jason Carter's feed was anything but ordinary. The reaction was immediate.
Several other top-tier figures—who had all profited heavily alongside him—responded almost instantly. Not only did they purchase CloudWeave, Porcelane, and OmniCraft products for their wives and daughters, they personally recommended the brands within high-society circles.
Meanwhile, Blue, who had earned a fortune alongside Jason from the Rare-Earth Mining Project, went even further. He didn't just buy for personal use—he began gifting the brands at banquets, private gatherings, and business meetings. He promoted them with such enthusiasm that outsiders might've thought the brands were his own.
Soon, the wave spread into elite circles like the Automotive Alliance and the Private Clubs. Responses poured in one after another.
If it had been an ordinary club member—or even a regular top-tier VIP—no one would've bothered. At that level, relationships were transactional. No one promoted someone else's products for free. But this was Jason. That changed everything.
A favor owed to him was repaid tenfold. Even setting aside personal gratitude, simply following Jason meant enormous upside. Many people in those groups had doubled their net worth simply by aligning with him. Compared to that, promoting a few luxury brands was nothing.
Mr. and Mrs. Reeve also responded quickly. This time, they had followed Jason into the short-selling operation and earned over twenty million dollars. More importantly, they now had an even deeper understanding of just how terrifying Jason's reach was. This was not someone you merely respected—this was someone you stayed close to.
That evening, as Amanda was opening the delivery box for a CloudWeave dress, Shenna returned home from university. Amanda waved her over cheerfully. "Shenna, I bought you a new outfit. Try it on and see if it fits."
Shenna looked at the box, surprised. "CloudWeave? Isn't this the brand Senior Jason just acquired? I already bought two sets."
Amanda and Ethan exchanged a glance. They immediately realized their daughter must've seen Jason's post as well.
Amanda smiled and said calmly, "There's no harm in buying a few more. You'll look great in them." Then she added, almost casually, "The next time you attend a banquet, wear this brand. It'll help promote Jason's companies."
Shenna nodded without hesitation. "Of course."
Shenna was more than willing. After all, Jason had once casually bought an entire amusement park and an astronomical observatory building just to please her. Compared to that, wearing a few sets of clothes was nothing.
What truly surprised her was her parents' attitude. After asking carefully, she finally understood the reason. Her mother, Amanda, had followed Jason's investment move and made over twenty million dollars in a very short time.
A faint light of admiration flashed in Shenna's eyes. So Jason isn't just terrifying in business… he's also this good in the stock market?
She carried the CloudWeave dress into her room. Not long after, she stepped out again. The already elegant dress looked even more ethereal on her frame, flowing naturally along her tall silhouette. Under the soft lighting, she looked almost unreal—like a fairy stepping out of a painting.
During a short break, Victoria set down her coffee and picked up her phone. She saw a message from her younger brother. "Sis, did you see Jason's post? I responded and bought some luxury items—several CloudWeave outfits and Porcelane bags for you."
Victoria paused, then opened her social feed. She usually didn't check it—too busy—but Jason's name immediately caught her attention. She saw the post promoting CloudWeave, Porcelane, and OmniCraft.
Victoria shook her head with a faint smile. "This guy really is a hands-off chairman. Bay project is already that busy, yet he still has the leisure to acquire luxury brands."
She pressed the call button. "Have the assistant come in."
When the secretary arrived, Victoria gave a calm instruction. "Organize everything Jason Carter has been doing recently."
There were two reasons. First, curiosity. Second, concern—she wanted to be sure Jason hadn't overstretched his capital and affected the Bay project.
Not long after, the compiled report was delivered. Victoria skimmed it. Then her eyes widened.
A rug bought for hundreds of thousands… resold for hundreds of millions. A rare-earth separation plant acquired quietly… followed by the discovery of the largest rare-earth deposit in the region. Massive investments in Riverside City. A lightning-fast short-selling operation, netting seven hundred million dollars.
Her lips parted slightly. "I stopped paying attention for a short while, and his empire expanded this much?"
Her expression shifted from shock to genuine admiration. "Bay could be called insider information… but antiques? Rare-earth mines? This young man isn't simple at all. Interesting. Very interesting."
Soon after, the secretary brought in the CloudWeave outfits and Porcelane bags Mike had purchased. Victoria examined them carefully. She liked them. Compared to foreign luxury brands, she genuinely appreciated products rooted in traditional craftsmanship and cultural depth.
Promoting Jason? That wasn't a problem at all.
She opened another chat window—this time with a female celebrity she knew—and casually recommended the brands. To ordinary people, celebrities seemed untouchable. But in Victoria's world? Celebrities often needed to curry favor with people like her.
Across several cities, businessmen eager to build a connection with Jason Carter followed suit. Step by step, CloudWeave, Porcelane, and OmniCraft tore open a crack in the upper circles. Then they entered the celebrity circle.
This momentum was no small thing. Luxury brands had always risen from the top down—from elites to celebrities, then to the public. Once those two circles accepted them, the sense of "high-end" naturally formed.
Coupled with live-commerce collaborations between models, luxury brands, and media platforms, the three brands rapidly entered public view. Curiosity spread. Attention followed. Sales began climbing—visibly, unmistakably.
At Starlight Fashion, the female models watched the momentum of the three brands with growing envy. Their gazes toward Wendy and Katherine changed. Everyone wanted in.
Seeing upper-class figures and celebrities openly using the brands made others subconsciously follow. If the people at the top were using them, then the quality had to be real.
Some sharp-eyed models—Wendy and Katherine—quickly realized this wasn't just good luck. This was proof that their new boss's network was terrifyingly deep.
For them, though, that was only good news. It meant a stronger company. A more stable future. And an even more unshakable backer.
The name Jason Carter continued to spread—quietly, relentlessly—like a rising tide no one could stop.
