Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Fu's work progressed smoothly. Although the Omega looked a little timid, he was much more active in cooking than her, and her diet also improved greatly.

The extracted Alpha pheromone smelled like tobacco. Although it was a name that Zhu Fu would never be able to understand in her lifetime, with the help of the virtual laboratory, she directly obtained the recipe for the tobacco-flavored perfume.

Just when she had mastered the production process and was preparing to buy materials for preparation, she suddenly discovered that some materials had been removed from the shelves through the usual supply channels and she could not get enough materials no matter how hard she tried.

Out of doubt, Zhu Fu asked Ming Shulist and Rong Qingxu.

Mingshu's answer was that the market had fluctuated recently, while Rong Qingxu's response was more specific, saying that the routes to two areas were blocked by the Zerg and the materials from there could not be shipped in for the time being.

Zerg...

Zhu Fu contacted Chu Bai again, and sure enough, he didn't reply. He was probably in closed training, and the courses for this batch of military cadets were intensified, so that they could go for internship in advance in the third year of enrollment. This paragraph should correspond to the cultivation of feelings and trust between the protagonists.

Putting aside the progress of their relationship, changes on the front battlefield were a foregone conclusion. Zhu Fu didn't care about saving money and immediately drove to the auction site to store as much material as possible that had not entered the auction process. Fortunately, the materials for the factory had already been purchased and there would be no shortage of stock within a month or two, otherwise she would have to stop doing this business.

As raw material prices increase, the selling price will inevitably have to remain unchanged, but perfume is not a necessity, and the consequence of price increases will only be losing customers. By the time material prices return to normal, it is hard to say how much of the market that has been opened with great difficulty will be left.

When Rong Qingxu learned of her actions, he called her to comfort her, "Don't worry. The more tense the situation, the easier it is to sell luxury goods. Why don't you prepare some special editions and raise the prices? That can be considered as some income."

"What..." Zhu Fu was about to refute, but suddenly remembered what he had heard in his previous life, that lipstick sold well during wartime. This was indeed very possible.

But does she really want to make this money?
Zhu Fu sighed and felt that she couldn't do it. She would not have any hesitation about normal business behavior, but she still felt psychologically burdened by this kind of behavior of taking advantage of others' misfortune.

But things often don't develop the way she expects. It was the end of July when she accepted Omega's request, and it was September when she finished making the tobacco-scented perfume. Before the flight routes could be restored, and before she could formulate a perfume that could soothe Omega, Han Liqing contacted her.

His voice sounded tired, but still controlled. "Is your perfume still for sale? I'd like to pre-order some."

She would certainly not refuse business that came to her door, but now the stock was limited and it was unknown when the waterway would be open, so she couldn't help asking, "How much do you want?"

"Let's start with 1,000 of each, with cedar and milk flavors."

"What are the specifications?"

"The biggest one." After all, money is all I have.

This can still be taken out. Isn't it selling both in bulk and in small quantities? Her third floor just happened to have incomplete equipment. "Okay, how do I deliver it to you?"

"I'll give you an address--" Han Liqing hung up the phone quickly.

Zhu Fu was very surprised when she received the address. This was the address of a charity. Perfume and charity? They really didn't seem to be related.

However, since the order had been accepted, the next step should be to adjust the goods rather than questioning the customer's purpose. Zhu Fu contacted Rong Qingxu again.

"You came just in time. I'm going to put the sleeping aid on the market. You can claim it on various social media platforms when the time comes."

Is this the right time? The flight routes have been blocked for nearly two months, and prices have risen by almost 15%. Zhu Fu paused for a moment, thinking of her promise to cooperate with the promotion, and finally agreed. Sleep aids are something that no one should be tempted to buy on impulse by the current situation, right?
"Okay, please send me the specific details and I'll take a look at it later. Now I need to transfer the factory's inventory. Please help me deliver it to the designated location first, and I'll settle the payment later." The processing fee for the first batch was waived, but the material and transportation costs still needed to be paid.

"Do you want to continue processing another batch?" Rong Qingxu asked.

"Now? The material prices have gone up again in the past two days, right?" Zhufu was surprised. Why aren't you giving up yet?
Two chuckles came from the other side. "What can I say about you... You really have principles. If you don't make the money, others will make it. Don't regret it later." "Then I'll regret it first. Anyway, I don't need the materials now, and I have other uses for the money."

"You don't even want to advance the money to me? I'll deduct it from your dividends when the time comes."

"No! I have something else to do here, let's go here first..."

Listening to the call being hung up, Rong Qingxu's secretary glanced at his boss's face and said indignantly, "Miss Zhu is not a business person at all, why bother to discuss this with her?"

Rong Qingxu smiled and shook his head, "Sometimes you need this kind of innocent and cuteness to adjust your mood, right? What's the point of facing those old foxes every day?"

Zhu Fu could never have imagined that she was actually naive in Rong Qingxu's eyes. To put it bluntly, the generation gap in the world, for the Alphas in this world, fighting for all the resources they can get is the education they have received. As for those who are unfortunately affected in the process of their competition, who can they blame for their lack of strength? Being incompetent is the original sin!

September 5th.

Kean Daily Chemicals has launched a new sleeping aid, claiming to have been guided by the emerging perfumer Zhu Fu.

Users of social networks know very well that there is no guidance, but it is not easy to say that they are cooperating openly. In fact, they must have used someone else's fragrance.

Zhu Fu also forwarded the news about the new sleeping aid as soon as possible, saying that she had only done a small bit of work and hoped that the product would be well received.

Previously, Zhu Fu slapped Alpha in the face and made a lottery mistake, which attracted a lot of people's attention. Now these people have naturally paid attention to her movements and expressed their opinions on this.

[I thought it was a new perfume, but it turned out to be a collaboration. What fragrance is used? Is it the Xin from the last lucky draw?]
[Sleeping aid? I have severe insomnia recently. Let me check it out. I happen to like the perfume of Zhu Xiangshi.]
[Orange... this one is a bit early, but I think the atmosphere is still suitable for a sleep aid. Kean is also an old brand. I'll buy one for my sister to try.]
[Am I the only one who thought this was about charity? ][Image][Image]
[Where is this? The colors are cedar and cinnamon. Do they ship in boxes? So generous? Was it sent by our sister Zhu?]
[No way, otherwise Sister Zhu would have mentioned it. I saw the Fengyuan logo over there, so it should have been donated by Fengyuan]
[No matter who donated it, it's ridiculous to use perfume for charity. Could it be that Zhu Fu has become famous because of the previous incident and is doing something stupid to further expand his reputation? Would that poor guy care about the perfume given by others?]
[I care! You in the core and middle areas don’t think it’s important, but the outer area perfume is very useful! I am very grateful to Fengyuan and Zhu Xiangshi. I just found it according to the information. This perfume really looks like pheromone. Thank you! ]
[Can you elaborate on the previous one?]
[Has no one said anything yet? Is this not coming back? I’m really curious, what is this thing good for? Although it’s fun to watch Sister Zhu get slapped in the face, I definitely won’t buy it]
[Do you really not know why teenagers use their first perfume?]
The division in this world is sometimes hard to imagine. What Zhu Fu discovered during her student survey is something that many people have never known. Especially in schools where betas are in the majority, they are very insensitive to differentiation pheromones.

The same was true for Han Liqing. Before this, he had never thought about what pheromones meant to people who lived in a different environment from him.

But his partner, who left without saying a word, once cried in front of him and tried his best to explain his resistance to pheromones.

He was an ordinary young man who was transformed into an Omega by accident. His living environment did not allow him to be pampered, so information was a burden to him. It would cause some stores to refuse to hire him as a part-time worker, and would also attract some bad people who wanted to sell him out with bad intentions.

Even after being together, Omega still hates others looking at him with such ambiguous and explicit eyes, but as an Omega next to an Alpha, he cannot avoid such speculations, so Omega is very resistant to being completely marked and becoming the Alpha's property.

Why didn't I notice it at that time? Han Liqing sighed. Because of Feng Yuan's rising period, he was very cold to Omega, so much so that the other party couldn't stand it anymore and completely disappeared from his life.

Now he no longer holds out hope of finding the person back, but still hopes to make Omega's life better, so he thought of distributing perfumes with the same pheromones as the two of them for free. He hopes that after the perfume is diffused, people passing by Omega will just think that they are using perfume. He also hopes that when Omega passes by and smells the scent of cedar, he will think of him for a moment.

Of course, Zhu Fu and netizens were unaware of Han Liqing's little thoughts, because before the netizen finished speaking, other people started to actively discuss the effects of perfume. With the help of the topic, Zhu Fu's perfume business became popular again and her fame was further spread.

However, at this time, some rumors about Zhu Fu suddenly appeared on the Internet, saying that she had bad character, had a cold relationship with her father, and ruined her stepsister's important banquet. Moreover, before that, she didn't know how to create perfume at all, but afterwards, inexplicably, she created two perfumes in three months.

Netizens were shocked. It was obvious that this revelation was made by someone familiar. Otherwise, he would not have even said that Zhu Fu did not want to learn perfume making. So what was going on? Was this really a carefully designed marketing campaign by Zhu Fu?

[In fact, I said it a long time ago, what is so important about an apprentice's incense recipe?]
[From not wanting to learn to passing two levels in three months, this is too outrageous. What kind of genius is she to be able to do this? No matter what industry it is, it is impossible to learn the basics in three months, right?]
[And the one who ruined her stepsister's party, the leak said that this person is an Alpha, right? Could it be that she hates Alphas to the extreme?]
Looking at the doubts that kept refreshing on the social platform, Rong Heluo showed a relieved smile. It was all Zhu Fu's fault, otherwise he would not have been locked up for the entire vacation. But now he was in school and happened to meet her when she was doing publicity. This opportunity was better than he thought. So many people knew who she was, so this business should be impossible to do, right?
Little did he know that the first person to express his anger was not Zhu Fu, but the person he could not afford to offend.
