Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

While Zhu Fu was trying his best to learn knowledge, Hou Ying of the Rong family finally selected a suitable candidate.

After much effort, he finally found Cang Weiran, the youngest son of the Cang family. As an Alpha, he also devoted himself to the incense-making industry. It was said that he was quite talented and had won a lot of praise.

The Cang family's property has always been shared by the heirs, and the youngest son can only get some property, so it is very likely that he will accept beta. Zhu Fu is a perfumer, so the two will have common topics.

He was not just daydreaming. Zhu Fu had already sent her message. It was Cang Weiran who replied and said they could meet, so he contacted Zhu Fu.

[Dad introduced someone to you, he's a very good Alpha, you should meet him...]

wow——

Zhu Fu turned off the message and closed the door. All the pre-orders for today had been sent out, so she had to go to her teacher's house.

Mingshu felt a little better and wanted to see Zhu Fu's practical skills. Zhu Fu appreciated it. She had never seen the work of perfumers in this world with her own eyes. Getting Mingshu's guidance would also allow her to have a better understanding of perfumery in this world.

However, she didn't notice that just as she was walking towards the bus stop, a speeding car quietly landed at the intersection. A fashionably dressed Alpha got out of the car, raised his face slightly with sunglasses on, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Zhu Fu's perfume shop very decently.

…………

Zhu Fu brought some dried flowers as a gift for Mingshu.

Mingshu brought the pastries enthusiastically again.

"As you mentioned last time, I already have an idea. My friends all said that the cake tastes good. If it is made into perfume, they would also be interested."

"That's great. Teacher, do you have any ideas? Do you have a direction for the materials?" Zhu Fu was also very interested.

"There's no rush. I feel like I haven't recovered yet, and I'm not sure about the adjustment. But how have you mastered the basic skills?" Mingshu had a gentle expression and spoke slowly and calmly.

"I'm actually a self-taught person, so I'm not sure whether my basic skills are good or not." Zhu Fu was embarrassed. This was the reason why she didn't want to become an apprentice in the first place. She could just attribute it all to her talent. There was nothing wrong with being a self-taught genius.

Mingshu nodded, persuaded her to eat something, and took her to the perfume room downstairs.

This was different from the small place of a few square meters in Zhu Fu's home. All the necessary equipment was provided. Zhu Fu even saw some equipment for detecting data and her eyes were immediately drawn to them. These were so expensive and she simply could not afford them.

Mingshu was amused but also a little confused, "Don't you have a place where you make incense? How can you calibrate the deviation without these equipment?"

"No~ I usually adjust it manually, and then I'll get a rough estimate of whether the taste is right by smelling it." Zhu Fu looked at the equipment without turning his head.

Mingshu's expression turned into surprise. No wonder Lister said she was a genius. Beta's perception was originally weaker, but it was stable. However, she was able to sense the difference through her sense of smell. This was something that could not be achieved without extraordinary talent. Mingshu was looking forward to her performance even more.

"Try your hand."

Zhu Fu nodded, looked away, reached into a pocket, took out a pair of gloves and put them on.

Mingshu looked at the gloves, his eyes flashed, but he said nothing, just waiting for Zhu Fu to operate.

Zhu Fu doesn't just make her own perfume, she is actually very adept at common floral scents as well. Looking at Mingshu, she chose a theme, went to the material area to get the ingredients, and prepared to make a lily of the valley scent, which she felt was a subtle and subtle fragrance that was closer to Mingshu.

Collecting materials, processing, removing impurities, extracting...

Zhu Fu arranged the process in an orderly manner, step by step. She did not feel any discomfort at all due to the change of location. In her opinion, she could tell what these instruments were used for at a glance and there was no trouble at all.

The incense-making process ended smoothly. For the sake of demonstration, Zhu Fu also specially selected materials that required a short extraction time, and combined the final product in front of Ming Shu.

"Okay~" After adding a drop of green dye, Zhu Fu finished the perfume.

An extremely light green perfume appeared in front of the two of them.

Ming Shu looked at Zhu Fu with eyes full of praise, "Your movements are very smooth, without the slightest hesitation, which is enough to show that you are very confident."

Then she took the finished product and sprayed a pump, sniffed the scent carefully, and praised it. "It's a very good grasp. It's a very light floral scent, suitable for some youthful and quiet girls."

"Your basic skills don't need me to explain much. Your configuration is already very mature, but I see that you are not very familiar with handling materials, such as this..."

Mingshu took the materials and began to demonstrate. Zhu Fu stared at them intently, learning the techniques. She was indeed a little unfamiliar with the materials in this world, so she couldn't know the more sophisticated processing techniques here.

After learning some processing methods, Zhu Fu saw that Mingshu was a little tired and suggested that they stop here for the day. The two of them walked out of the perfume room and had dinner with Liszt who had returned.

At the dinner table, Liszt mentioned a party. "Please make time for it and go with Mingshu. I will introduce you to some people. Since you have a connection with us, it is better to get to know them as soon as possible."

Zhu Fu understood what he meant. Since they had chosen sides, they should distinguish clearly between the enemy and themselves. They should not let a problem cause them to fail, nor should they let others trip them up because they did not know her.

Generally speaking, she is just a junior now, and she is only going there to meet people. Everything she does does not have a big impact at the moment, and most of the time, it is others who will take care of her.

Of course, the intention was also to accompany Mingshu and tell her not to be too nervous. After all, this was her second appearance, and it was important to leave a positive impression.

After learning this information, Zhu Fu decided to increase the importance of hiring a part-time worker. She could do everything else, but she no longer had the time to stay in the store.

Fortunately, at that time, the only thing that was hard to find a job was the people who could not be hired. She hired a young girl who graduated from high school at a normal hourly wage. The girl had great dreams and she wanted to attend an art training class so that she would have a resume that could allow her to enter a related studio.

However, the training course was in the evening, so she wanted to work during the day. Considering the hours of her other jobs, she could not be a full-time worker. But Zhu Fu felt that this was just right. She could get back in time for dinner, and she could just take care of it herself afterwards.

After arranging all this, she began to frequently go in and out of the auction house, studying frantically during the day and working hard to make incense at night. After just a few days, she received a communication.

"What's wrong with you? You weren't there when he went there several times. You didn't even appreciate the introduction. He's already an intermediate perfumer at such a young age, and he's an Alpha. It's rare that he's willing to take the initiative to look for you. You're so rude..."

It’s Hou Ying.

Zhu Fu reacted, hung up the phone, and added the number to the blacklist. She also blocked the messages. She never wanted to see messages pop up after blocking the communication again.

As for Alpha, she had no interest in the miracle of human body structure. Now she was immersed in brainstorming all day, thinking about what material would be more suitable for the milky flavor she imagined.

As for the lily of the valley she made that day, the smell was too bland, and it could only be used as a registered fragrance recipe for an entry-level apprentice. In addition, with the prevalence of floral notes in this world, this finished product was of no use to her, and it couldn't be distinguished from other people's perfumes, and there was no point in registering it. The more fragrances, the better. One fine product is better than ten mediocre ones. Now that she had an idea of ​​the milky fragrance, she could try to use the virtual laboratory to build a fragrance recipe, and she didn't want to be interrupted by these trivial things. What introduction? At the age of 19, she didn't want to pursue a career, get involved in love, or have a blind date!

----

Rong family.

Hou Ying took off the bracelet and threw it aside with an unpleasant look on his face.

"Your sister is really too independent. She won't listen to any good or bad words. She refused to even meet the right candidate! Now I am the only one left to be questioned."

Rong Heluo rolled his eyes secretly and said nothing. Even he could see the rebelliousness of this sister, but the little father didn't know it and insisted on provoking her. Now he had offended someone for nothing. It would be better to set him up with some connections and introduce him to some younger Alphas.

"No, I have to prepare gifts for the Cang family. I can't let them have a prejudice against the Rong family." Hou Ying had no choice but to accept Zhu Fu's refusal to cooperate. If they really forced him to leave, where would they find him? It would be better to wait for now. At least there was a store address where they could find him.

Seeing him leave, Rong Heluo was too lazy to sit here. He had been confined at home recently and had become addicted to games. Instead of worrying about these things, he might as well play games.

So, in a corner that Hou Ying didn't know, Rong Heluo's grades started to decline again, and he was getting further and further away from university.

On private lawn.

Zhu Fu took Ming Shu's arm and followed to see what was new.

Although it looks like an outdoor scene, it is actually a high-rise mansion in the city center. Everything is the result of meticulous care, including the skylight above, which broadcasts real-time celestial phenomena. This creates a nearly real interior.

Various tables, chairs and artistic ornaments were placed on the lawn for people present to sit down and chat at any time. The overall atmosphere looked very relaxed, but Zhu Fu did not dare to relax at all.

Except for occasionally paying attention to something she had never seen before, her attention was all on Mingshu.

As an activity of the Fragrance Guild, Lister, as a director, had to receive guests. Among the people who came, there were quite a few Alphas and Omegas. The smells began to become gradually mixed. Zhu Fu was worried that Mingshu would be irritated.

"Don't be nervous--" Mingshu comforted Zhu Fu instead, worried that she would not be able to adapt because she had never participated in such an event before.

Today Zhu Fu wore a slim sleeveless V-neck dress with a white tint and a silver hue, and a long chain hanging in front of her body. These were all chosen by Ming Shu. She didn't want to be so attentive, but Ming Shu seemed to feel embarrassed for her financially, so he took her to try on several outfits before choosing this one.

In fact, Zhu Fu was completely concerned about the material. The more expensive a dress is, the better the material is. It may still irritate her senses. She chose this one for no other reason. It is very soft, drapes very well, and does not irritate her skin. Even the chain is chosen to hang as much as possible on the clothes, and she sprayed a little barrier agent on the part that touches the skin in advance.

This outfit seemed ordinary to Zhu Fu, so she was very calm about it.

However, this was just her own thought. Without her noticing, many guests had already noticed her. She was obviously a junior at this age, but her behavior was very generous, without any discomfort, and she looked very confident.

Confidence and generosity are powerful tools to improve one's image, and many people have already developed a basic liking for her.

Some people also noticed Ming Shu on the side because of her.

"You finally came out. You would have regretted getting married if you had told me earlier." An elegant Omega lady came over and looked at Mingshu.

Ming Shu smiled but didn't agree with this statement. "I don't regret it, but I'm not as determined as you."

The lady glanced at Zhu Fu again and said, "Is this your apprentice? He doesn't look like you."

You can tell at first glance that he is a very career-oriented person. How did they get together?

This can also be regarded as an inquiry into their relationship. You know, Zhu Fu was alone when he took the assessment, and suddenly it was revealed that Zhu Shu had a new apprentice, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

Regarding this question, Zhu Fu and her colleagues naturally discussed and came up with a unified answer.

"We knew each other before we became master and apprentice. I just gave him some pointers. You know I haven't touched incense for many years, so how could I dare to accept a disciple? But this kid is so stubborn that he insists on recognizing me as his teacher. I've gotten better recently, so I thought about picking up incense making again. It's not good to reject such a pious apprentice."

Oh ~
Everyone around showed meaningful gossiping looks, which made sense why this child took the exam alone. In fact, she did not receive explicit recognition, but Mingshu had already regarded her as one of his own, otherwise Liszt would not have reacted that way.

They all knew what happened next. This child was bullied, and Liszt and Mingshu couldn't bear it, so they simply confirmed their apprentice's reputation and got her revenge.

Those present today all had a decent relationship with Lister, or at least were neutrals who could be won over, so no one came out to question it, but just accepted this answer.

No matter what, it is better to have less trouble than more. No matter which industry, no one likes people who stir up trouble for no reason. They don't approve of targeting a young person who has just passed the junior level. They just don't want to stop it, but emotionally they still agree that Zhu Fu is innocent.

With this in mind, they became very kind to Zhu Fu, calling her beautiful, smart, and promising, and all the nice things she said were free of charge.

After the initial greetings, Mingshu took Zhu Fu to find a place to sit down and started chatting with the lady he had just spoken to.

"Young people have active minds. My apprentice has also given me some new ideas. I'll have to trouble you to check if I have made any progress."

Ms. Omega nodded very reservedly. As a rare career-oriented Omega, she was very satisfied with Mingshu's implicit recognition of her abilities.

"Just come to me when the time comes. If there is anything that your little apprentice doesn't know, you can come to me. People like Liszt don't know how to teach a genius."

Zhu Fu hurriedly thanked him.

After the conversation was over, Zhu Fu quietly inquired about the identity of this Omega lady.

"She is one of the Omega directors. We entered the perfume industry at the same time. She is also a very creative perfumer, and she is indeed somewhat similar to you."

"Then..." Zhu Fu was still a little confused, "Doesn't she have an Alpha?"

"I guess so." Mingshu replied.

This made Zhu Fu even more confused. If there is, there is, if there is not, there is not. What does it mean to count?
