Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

Since Zong Xiangsheng had something to say, naturally no one present would say no.

Zhu Fu also shifted her gaze over there, because there was a window against the wall behind her, and the midday sun shone in, blurring Zong Xiangsheng's figure and making it difficult for her to see his face clearly.

"Inspiration is pheromone? Do you know what pheromone is——"

Zong Xiangsheng's question in a calm tone went straight to the core of the issue.

How can a beta's wild judgment of pheromones convince others? Apart from a little smell, what can a beta know? Can it experience the suppression, deterrence, and attraction brought by pheromones?

How can people be convinced by the so-called pheromone perfume created by a beta perfumer?
So no matter what inspiration Zhu Fu said, Zong Xiangsheng didn't care. As long as her slight inspiration was pheromones, he didn't think Zhu Fu had the ability to understand it, nor would he approve of her creative ideas.

Hearing what Zong Xiang meant, a male beta reviewer slammed his head on the table in agreement, "That's right, I just think it's wrong. You're a beta, but you keep talking about pheromones. Do you understand? Even if I'm a beta, I can't approve of you against the facts!"

"You mean, perfume making must be based on things? Then are clouds and scenery also inexplicable ideas?" What kind of reason is this? This can only be regarded as discrimination!

Zhu Fu had never heard such a ridiculous reason in her two lifetimes. Perfume making is more about conveying a feeling. These people didn't even ask her about the interpretation of the scent, which already disappointed her. Now they are using such an outrageous reason to deny her. It's ridiculous!

It's not like she hasn't met other people in the industry. Not to mention Liszt, many of her peers who she only knew through the Internet had very good ideas. But now she was standing in the so-called examination room and heard such a ridiculous reason. There were people who couldn't wait to agree. Was he agreeing with the concept of perfumery or Zong Xiangsheng's speech? !
"You are questioning me." Zong Xiangsheng's gaze fell on Zhu Fu, and he finally looked her in the eye.

He had known for a long time that this was the apprentice of Lister's Omega spouse, but this was just an excuse. It was impossible for Lister not to intervene and teach, but for a beta perfumer who was only a junior level, it was enough for him to take action once. People of this level were not worthy of his worry. Now it seems that Lister still selected the person carefully.

The sunlight not only prevented Zhu Fu from seeing Zong Xiangsheng's face, but also prevented Zong Xiangsheng from seeing Zhu Fu, who was half in the sunlight and the upper half in the darkness. He could only see the apprentice of his old rival, wearing a dark red long skirt. The velvet hem of the skirt shone in the sunlight, and the aura of the whole person suddenly became aggressive, just like the hem of the skirt in the sunlight.

Pity……

Zong Xiangsheng thought about it, but it didn't stop him from speaking, "I just don't think that a person who can't even feel the facts can be so amazing in this regard."

"Why--" Zhu Fu had already forgotten about the intermediate qualification at this time. She was just fed up with this kind of arrogance. Pheromones are indeed unique to Alpha and Omega, but how is it different from the black skin of black people? Will someone say that you don't have black skin and can't understand that it is more delicate?
Obviously, all you need to do is observe. Even different perspectives of each person can lead to multiple interpretations of the same thing. The perfumer's personal creative ideas and concepts are essentially about making people understand their perceptions from their own perspective.

What does this have to do with Alpha or Beta? Does pheromone not exist from the perspective of Beta? This world can no longer be separated from the underlying setting of pheromone. Its influence permeates every aspect, and Beta cannot avoid it at all. For example, before, cedar was a hot seller among office workers. Isn’t this the influence of pheromone on Beta?

They clearly know that Beta can smell pheromones, but because Beta is not affected, Alphas don't take it seriously. They even regulate industries like perfume, fearing that others might have ulterior motives with pheromones, and they even want to exclude Beta from having a say in the perfume guild.

"What is called feeling? Alpha's feelings are feelings, but beta's feelings are not feelings? This is not a substitute for pheromones. If you need something this rigorous, you should look to the medical field. When did what we perfumers have to do become realistic? This is ridiculous!"

Zhu Fu pinched her wrist unhappily and adjusted her gloves. Due to the sun and excitement, she began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Zong Xiangsheng suppressed his brows, feeling unhappy. He never thought that this little girl would have the guts to question him like this. No! Not only questioning him, but also other Alphas. Could it be that Liszt really forgot his identity so thoroughly? He actually taught such a disciple. Isn't he afraid of offending people?
"The teacher was clearly just raising concerns with reasons and evidence, so why are there such strong objections? Is there anything wrong with what the teacher said?" Cang Weiran interjected at the right time. He naturally knew that if his master personally went to argue with Zhu Fu, it would seem targeting and he would lose his composure. It was just right for him, as an outsider and disciple, to speak up at this time.

"That's right..." The male beta who jumped out spoke again, "The director was just raising reasonable questions. Not only did you not accept them with an open mind, but you also asked why! Why? Because you are just a newcomer in the industry, and Director Zong is already a top contemporary perfumer. You usually don't even have the chance to listen to the director's guidance! Find out your own identity!"

Cang Weiran sneered and looked at the male beta with suspicion. What a suspicious mind. Is he saying that the teacher is suppressing him by virtue of his status and qualifications? Isn't this a topic for criticism? With such a mind, it's no wonder that he hasn't made any progress in all these years.

"Judge Liu is a little excited. In fact, teachers always speak out. There is such an obvious problem here, it is impossible for the teacher not to tell us. As for guidance, this contestant will naturally be taught by her teacher." "Ha~" Zhu Fu pulled up the corners of her mouth and shook her hair in front of her eyes, "Then Director Zong, can you give me a demonstration and find out the problem with my clumsy work?"

As a placebo for Yu Wenwen, the perfume has been tested. Nothing is more convincing than the improvement of an Omega who lacks the comfort of sexual pheromones. Although the smell of the perfume now presented has been adjusted, the base color will not change. What does Zong Xiangsheng have to say that there is a problem with this?
Zong Xiangsheng was very calm. He just stretched out his hand and asked the judge in front of him to pass him perfume. How could he not find fault?

While handing over the perfume, Zhu Fu casually said, "I tried it on the pregnant Omega. The combination of the two scents comes from their pheromones."

The perfume bottle almost slipped out of Zong Xiangsheng's hand, but Cang Weiran helped to catch it.

The master and the apprentice looked at each other and agreed that Liszt would not choose an easy person. Why didn't she tell him about this earlier? The Omega in question had already approved it, but they insisted that Zhu Fu didn't understand pheromones? What would others think?
As for the news from the examination room not being able to spread? They had long given up hope. With Zhu Fu's ease on the Internet, as long as she applied for the video of the examination site, it would only be disadvantageous to them if all this was made public.

But since he had already taken action, it would be a sign of weakness to just let Zhu Fu go, so Zong Xiangsheng decided to find some small issues to talk about.

After taking the perfume test paper, Zong Xiangsheng's face instantly became serious. This little girl is really capable. The scent is blended very cleverly. The astringent taste of tobacco neutralizes the sweet scent of roses. The two scents form a just right fragrance, as if they were born to be together, so natural that it looks like two pheromones intertwined together.

The only problem is that the smell is a bit strong, but it is not a real pheromone after all, and it will not cause any consequences due to excessive concentration. Moreover, his sensitivity is inseparable from being an Alpha, so this smell is suitable for a beta.

"I take back what I said just now. There is nothing wrong with the way this fragrance is prepared. Just as you described, it is the ultimate entanglement of two flavors, strange and harmonious. But I still hope that your creation can be more independent and not rely too much on the help of others."

The male beta's expectation was dashed, and he looked embarrassed, but Zong Xiangsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. He even looked at Zhu Fu with a friendly expression, "Your teacher's... spouse and I are old acquaintances. We can communicate more in the future if there is anything."

Zhu Fu expressed deep regret, but she also knew that just one position as an intermediate perfumer was not enough for Zong Xiangsheng to disregard his dignity and stop him. It was far from enough. If she wanted to bring Zong Xiangsheng down with this, unless he was really angry, then being able to get the certificate would be considered as achieving the initial goal, although now she didn't think the intermediate certificate was important at all.

"Really? I'll ask the teacher." Zhu Fu politely brushed aside what he had just said, and said with a little sarcasm.

By this time the time was up, and Zhu Fu received the reminder to leave, so he simply turned around and left the examination room.

Overall, this feeling is very indescribable. Although she still obtained the intermediate certificate, her mood is completely different. All her expectations have become a bubble. She just feels ridiculous. It is just an exam in the field of perfumery, but the gender issue is so blatant. One can imagine how much discrimination there is in other industries.

She once again thought of the original owner's experience in the book, and the feeling of suffocation. Could such a thing change? Although she had no survival problems now, the thought of having to spend the next few decades in such an atmosphere still made her feel that this world was hateful.

A few days later, Zhu Fu came to register the perfume recipe named Waiting. After all, not everyone would choose to register in this kind of exam room. When they reach the intermediate level, they no longer lack works like the beginners, so she has to go there by herself.

Nothing happened on this trip, but when Zhu Fu came out, she saw the female beta walking towards her. She had a clear goal, as if she was waiting for her.

Zhu Fu asked with a frown, "Do you want to talk to me about something?"

"I..." The female beta was a little tangled, "Can I ask you for help?"
