Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

The vice president booked a private club room for them.

When Zhu Fu arrived, she even felt like she was back on Earth. The staff here were extremely friendly and natural, and did not show any strangeness at all because of her attire and her beta identity. It can be seen that the service here requires meticulousness.

She gave her name and was led to the door of the Purple Maple Leaf's box. The service staff opened the communication and greeted the visitor internally, confirming her identity before leaving.

The door slowly opened and Zhu Fu stepped in. There were already three people inside. She was slightly puzzled for a moment, then she realized that there was an unusual relationship between two of them, and there was even a fusion of their auras.

"Liszt, nice to see you at last." The male one stood up and said.

"Zhu Fu, I always felt that I didn't have the qualifications, and I was afraid of letting down the good intentions." Zhu Fu also found a reason for herself.

Liszt looked at her carefully and said, "No, you must be smart."

"Okay, okay, stop being so polite. It's getting too formal. Sit down and chat slowly. Mingshu is still here." The vice president joked with a smile.

Zhu Fu sat down after Liszt's move, and her eyes naturally moved to the lady present. She and Liszt both looked middle-aged, with small frames, and looked very gentle. The expression on her face was also gentle, but her hand was tightly holding Liszt's hand, which seemed a little strange.

"This is Liszt's lover Mingshu, who also studied perfumery."

Listening to the vice president's introduction, Zhu Fu's eyes sparkled. Mingshu was obviously an Omega, and Liszt was an Alpha. What was the probability that the couple were both perfumers? This was a niche profession.

"To be honest, I really want to have a good apprentice. This is a common idea between Mingshu and I. None of my children have this talent, so we have to let them be. Therefore, we will definitely have no reservations when we have an apprentice. After all, being our apprentice will also cause troubles, and you have already experienced this."

Zhu Fu nodded slightly. "Ms. Mingshu doesn't seem to be in a good condition. Is she not used to this place? How about we talk somewhere else?"

"I'm fine, just a minor problem." Mingshu's voice was very gentle.

"Omegas are more sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, please speak up immediately." Zhu Fu also softened his voice.

Liszt and the vice president looked at each other, and Zhu Fu was obviously more interested in Mingshu.

"…This is my novice work. I used the bell eggplant. Take a look—"

In a blink of an eye, the two of them were talking about perfume.

Mingshu finally let go of his hand, took the perfume bottle with both hands, looked at it carefully, opened it, pressed the pump and sniffed it carefully.

Her eyes brightened instantly, this smell was familiar to her. After so many years of doing housework at home, the smell of eggplant was much more accustomed to her than those gradually unfamiliar aromatic materials.

Liszt's slightly tense brows gradually relaxed. "This is a very good idea. The world of perfumery should have more materials."

"I think the existing incense materials were discovered slowly, so there shouldn't be a final conclusion." Zhu Fu's attention was still on Ming Shu. "Ms. Ming should also be a perfumer? Since we are talking about becoming a disciple, I think Ms. Ming and I should be more suitable. Obviously, we can communicate more smoothly."

Zhu Fu suddenly changed her mind. Since this Omega was also a perfumer, it would be fine for her to be her disciple. An Omega with a partner would inevitably divide her energy between her health and family, so she would still be free to some extent.

And considering the relationship between the two, she can still take advantage of the situation by doing this. She can be a member of their power without being too deeply involved. It is perfect for her.

The words of refusal came to Liszt's lips, but he swallowed them back when he looked at Mingshu.

Mingshu came back to his senses and shook his head gently, "I haven't made incense for a few years. I'm not familiar with everything. I'm afraid I can't teach students well."

Zhu Fu remained calm and had no intention of giving up. "I think the vice president knows that I didn't need a teacher before because I have a good sense and a brain that can support thinking in this area. In fact, what I lack is basic knowledge and some experience as a perfumer. Ms. Ming will definitely be able to do this."

Mingshu was a little hesitant and a little expectant.

Liszt agreed on her behalf, "Then take it. I'm here for you if you're unsure."

Then he sighed and looked at Zhu Fu, "No matter who you choose as your teacher, there are some things I have to explain to you clearly—"

Liszt tells the story of him and Mingshu.

When he and Mingshu met, Mingshu was already a perfumer, and he was just an Alpha whose pheromones were so weak that they were almost gone. In an Alpha world where strength was the criterion for rank, he was definitely an inferior Alpha.

At that time, everyone thought that he was marrying above his station with Mingshu, and with his strength, he should not have an Omega. Mingshu chose him despite the opposition. Later, it was discovered that his pheromones were caused by a Zerg toxin, and he was affected because he was born in a war zone.

After the detoxification, his strength improved greatly. He should have gone to the military camp to fight for his life. After all, this was an opportunity for Alpha to quickly accumulate wealth. However, Mingshu was pregnant. He felt that since he had not been in the army in the past, he should not abandon Mingshu to join the army now. So he became Mingshu's colleague and even became one of the sixteen directors. However, twenty years passed and they had five children. He found that Mingshu's condition was getting worse and worse. Sometimes she cried, and sometimes she was angry with him, saying that he should not teach him to make perfume. But when she recovered, Mingshu would keep apologizing to him.

So he wanted to return to his family to take care of Mingshu. After so many years of accumulation, the property was enough for them to live on. However, the situation within the Fragrance Guild was not so peaceful. With the competitive nature of most Alphas, they wanted to change the guild's culture to that of society, "showing more respect to Alphas." He disagreed with this.

In his opinion, the Fragrance Guild is a place where creativity speaks for itself. Alpha's performance in this area is average. If Alpha's position is forcibly raised, the Fragrance Guild will gradually become an unfair place and eventually become a stagnant pool.

That's why he wanted to take in a beta apprentice and train him to inherit his position. After all, he couldn't guarantee that the Alpha apprentice wouldn't join those people in the future because of identity recognition, nor could he guarantee that the Omega apprentice wouldn't be restricted by his future spouse. He only mentioned these things to the vice president who was a beta, so the vice president would take the initiative to approach a junior candidate and look for candidates for him.

He also thought that with his achievements and reputation, it was a sure thing for Zhu Fu to become his apprentice, so when facing his old rival, he said that he would soon accept a good student. This allowed the other party to use his power in the guild to suppress him, first withholding comments on her work, and then eliminating her exhibition opportunities as a potential newcomer.

Later, because he was taking care of Mingshu, it was the vice president who mentioned it and he learned about what had happened.

Zhu Fu felt a little relieved. No wonder she felt something was wrong. It was good that she could be honest. But Mingshu... was a little depressed, right?
"What does Ms. Ming usually do?"

Liszt was very surprised that Zhu Fu neither backed down nor launched a military campaign to accuse him of being implicated. Instead, his first words were greetings to Mingshu.

"I just grow flowers and cook at home. Sometimes I'm not in a good mood and I don't know what I'm daydreaming about."

Zhu Fu suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you want to go out for a walk?"

Ming Shu seemed a little stunned, and replied softly, "Liszt doesn't have time."

"He has it. He can stay at home with you, so what's wrong with him going out with you? And even if he's not there, it's okay to go out. It's safe."

Mingshu's expression turned painful, "Is it okay to go out without Alpha?"

"Okay." Zhu Fu briefly mentioned what she saw when she went to the middle area.

Slowly Mingshu's condition relaxed and he fell into sleep.

Zhu Fu looked at Liszt with a serious expression, "She obviously has psychological problems, don't you notice? Even if she is an Omega, she can't completely live without her own life."

Liszt sighed deeply, "I thought all Omegas were like this. It was normal for them to be a little clingy to Alphas after bonding. If her mood hadn't suddenly changed so much, I really wouldn't have realized it."

Zhu Fu lowered her eyelashes, and suddenly felt lucky that she had become a beta. At least she would not be controlled by pheromones and prejudice. How terrible!
Mingshu was originally an independent perfumer with her own career, but after getting married, she watched helplessly as her husband, whom she brought into the industry, surpassed her. Then she had to give birth to and take care of five children, and deal with endless trivial matters. Yet all this seemed normal to outsiders. If it wasn't true love, she would have given up long ago, right?
"So I'm here to be her student. She can learn new knowledge from me. I think the way to deal with your problem shouldn't be for you to retreat home, but for her to get out of it. Aren't you a trustee? What if she can be a trustee as well? You have a common opponent to fight against, and there won't be any problems in your relationship."

Liszt hesitated.

Zhu Fu added fuel to the fire, "Or do you think she's not good enough? The results of her teaching as a teacher are already here. Do you think she can only stay at home to raise children? The children are grown up, right? Your oldest child should have split up by now?"

"You're right." Liszt convinced himself and calmed down to get back to business. "So what about you? What can you get?"

"Get fairness." Zhu Fu took a sip of water. The incense seeds tasted too strong and a bit bitter. "I don't want others to suppress what I deserve again. I'm not going to learn this lesson this time, so I want to take her as my teacher."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Of course you should go and question them. Your wife was in a bad mood to begin with, and it was rare for her to cheer up and want to take in a student. As a husband, you were too happy and said something slippery. As a result, they went to embarrass this student, making your wife very unhappy. You should go and ask them why this happened. Is she dissatisfied with your wife and her student?" Attacking the opponent's students could be considered a fight between the two sides, but attacking Mingshu students who had no position at all was too unfair. Neutral forces would definitely side with this.

And don't forget that Mingshu is an Omega. Zhu Fu learned about this, and as a kind of guarantee, any industry that an Omega can enter will have corresponding guarantees, so if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be an Omega among the directors. Judging from what the vice president mentioned the other day about Beta and Omega being evenly matched, it is very likely that there will be more than one or two seats, which would be quite impressive.

How does the saying go? If you want to have many friends and few enemies, why not win some sympathy?
"And this can also build momentum for Mingshu. I think since she hasn't come out for so many years, there must be people telling her what an Omega should and shouldn't do. If that's the case, the Omegas in the Incense Guild won't be disgusted by her coming out, and it will be easier for her to do something in the future."

"That's a good idea." The vice president reminded Lister not to hesitate any longer.

"What about you? What can you get?" Liszt looked at Zhu Fu.

"I would like to get your opinion on this perfume."

Zhu Fu took out the cedar and placed it on the table.

Nothing is more important than regaining this. Having lost the guild's publicity, she must make up for it in other ways. The status and evaluation of a perfumer are inseparable. Orange is a bit like playing house. She wants to use this one to set her tone among perfumers.
