Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

"Afu, I can't help you with this. Due to our friendship, I still advise you to give up this idea."

Zhu Fu explained her ideas, but unexpectedly she received a reply from Rong Qingxu that contained an implicit warning, and she was stunned for a moment.

"why?"

Rong Qingxu was quiet for a few breaths, and there was a faint sound of inhalation. I don't know if he was calming down. "Do you know what the main business of the Rong family is?"

Who cares about this? Zhu Fu was even more confused. Neither the original owner nor she had any access to the Rong family's business. How could anyone know about this?
"Okay, that's all I have to say. You are a smart person, think about it yourself."

Rong Qingxu ended the call.

Zhu Fu, full of doubts, began to search the Rong family's assets. Originally, she wanted to ask Rong Qingxu because she couldn't find anyone to take orders, but she didn't expect that she was even more confused now.

Zhu Fu didn't have too much specific information, but the information he was able to find was enough to match the main industry that Rong Qingxu mentioned - inhibitors.

The Rong family's company is one of the three largest inhibitor companies, and this industry accounts for more than 70% of the Rong family's revenue.

"This is a bit tricky..."

Zhu Fu just didn't react at first, but when he thought about the original purpose of this perfume, he completely understood it.

As a placebo, it is completely capable of squeezing out part of the inhibitor market. Rong Qingxu chose to continue the cooperation with the intermediate one, but he did not care because there was only one type and it would not cause any waves.

Now, she wants to use technology to deduce the possibility of pheromone fusion and include all the pheromones. If there is a situation like Yu Wenwen in the future, will he spend a lot of money to buy inhibitory preparations, or will he ask Zhu Fu for a placebo?
The price difference is huge. After all, Zhu Fu sells perfume, and she needs to attract customers, so she charges thousands of dollars to package it as a medicinal preparation. The total cost of tens of thousands is just a drop in the bucket. But for the sake of "treatment", she will definitely spend whatever money she can. So Rong Qingxu will definitely feel that the Rong family's business is affected.

But no matter how much impact it has, Zhu Fu still thinks Rong Qingxu is making a fuss out of nothing. The sales volume of this type of inhibitors accounts for a very small proportion, and most of them are used for the same purpose as she reminded Chu Bai to bring, which is to prevent pheromones from fluctuating violently in inconvenient circumstances. You can't do business and not accept any fluctuations at all, right?

"Forget it..." Zhu Fu couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to think about it for the time being. Anyway, there was no rush. It was impossible for Rong Qingxu to get help, so she would slowly look for other ways~
Why are there so many orders? Shipping is so annoying!
"elder sister?"

The sudden call made Zhu Fu's heart skip a beat. Could it be that Chu Bai had seen the grinning face just now?

"Aren't you busy lately? How come you have time to come to the store?" Zhu Fu put on a smile and tried to save her image.

"I'm going to an overseas military corps for an internship, so I wanted to bring some extra perfume." Chu Bai was wearing a light summer outfit, which made him look as fresh as a boy next door.

Is it time to go to an alien planet for internship? The plot went by quite fast, and Zhu Fu's mind flashed with emotion, "Going outside? Fighting Zerg? You have to bring everything with you, it's hard to find what you need, how much do you want this time?"

"Five bottles, and two oranges." Chu Bai thought about what he wanted to buy before talking about his plans. "This is a rare opportunity. I got the chance to intern in the front-line army. It will be quick to get a job in the future."

Zhu Fu glanced at him, suppressing her gaze. As the protagonist of the novel, Chu Bai had no future like this, and she couldn't say for sure about the man in front of her. She could only hope that he could change.

"It is indeed an opportunity. Check your things carefully when packing to make sure nothing is missing. You should also bring inhibitors and other things with you."

Chu Bai looked over unintentionally, his eyes locked on Zhu Fu, "Sister, have you guessed something?"

But no one would guess he was an Omega. Maybe they thought he was a beta, so they asked him to wear inhibitors to disguise himself?
"What are you guessing? You're going for an internship? I don't know anything about this, so what is there to guess?" Zhu Fu played dumb. Their relationship was not yet to the point where the secret would be exposed.

"That's right~ I'll have a good chat with my sister when I come back." Chu Bai left with the things and actually went to buy the inhibitors. No matter what the shopkeeper guessed, they were indeed necessary.

"Huh~" Zhu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered something. Although the store is not doing much business now, it still needs an employee to look after the store. Last time he was just looking for a part-time job, and he just had to post a message on the nearby social network. If it was a serious recruitment, where should he look?

She will have to compete later, so it would be best if there was an employee who knows about perfumes to look after her. Such a person is both easy and hard to find. An assistant perfumer certificate is the most suitable, but such people usually learn from teachers and try to become regular employees...

"Hey~ Why is our genius perfumer looking so sad? Is there little business recently? That can't be!" Su Ziming came over, leaned over and knocked on the door.

"What does this have to do with business? Your business isn't as good as you expected, but aren't you living a happy life now?" It was difficult for Zhu Fu to be serious in front of this neighbor, but there was no conflict between them, they just talked nonsense to each other.

Su Ziming said, "Isn't our boss Zhu thinking about making money? How can he be the same as someone like me?"

Zhu Fu rolled her eyes and said, "You're talking as if you're not the same? If you stayed at home quietly, you'd spend much less than you do now. Now that you've opened a store, you didn't do it on impulse without even thinking about making any money, did you?"

"What a coincidence~ You got it right! It was just a momentary impulse. Now I have to stay in the store every day and can't go out to race. It's so boring~" Su Ziming shook his hair, expressing a little regret.

"Hiring someone? If you don't care about money that much, you don't mind paying an extra salary, right?"

Su Ziming straightened up and said, "That's right! Recruiting! Recruiting right now!" Zhu Fu was about to ask him where he was recruiting when he heard a tired female voice.

"What are you hiring for?" Wu Lin approached with a dejected look on his face.

Zhu Fu looked at her gloomy face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. I just got scolded by my boss for a week, two projects were taken away from me, my bonus was gone, and my performance bonus was deducted." Wu Lin's smile was uglier than crying, like a puppet without a soul.

This doesn't sound like it...

"Tsk tsk~ I told you there's nothing good about that class. Why don't you come and help me run the store!" Su Ziming came up with an idea instantly.

Wu Lin came alive instantly, with fire in his eyes, "Master, do you have room for promotion here? Can you afford to buy me a house in the future? If not, then don't make sarcastic remarks! You can live a carefree life relying on your family, how can I compare with you!"

"I..." Su Ziming turned his head and looked at Zhu Fu, "You saw it! I didn't say anything excessive! Look at her like this!"

"Alright!" Wu Lin shook his arms vigorously, trying to calm his expression. "I'm not in the mood to talk to you about this. Please forgive me if there's anything wrong with what I said. I'm tired, so I'll go back first..."

bang——

Wu Lin slammed the door shut, which made Zhu Fu feel a little worried. Wu Lin was a very hard-working and ambitious worker, but she was still suffering in the workplace. Has the situation become so bad now?

It turned out that I was right not to think about looking for a company to join...

She should go and make preparations for the game. If she really fails, she will have a hard time even finding a job because of the hatred she will draw from Alpha. She should strive for a good ranking!
At times like this, her golden finger, which had not been used for a long time, came in handy. Nothing was more convenient than a virtual laboratory. From materials to equipment, it could save time and was perfect for pre-match preparation.

Zhu Fu once again devoted herself to the career of perfume making, gained new insights, and gained a more precise grasp of perfume making.

Time passed quickly, and in addition to adjusting his status, Zhu Fu also did not forget to recruit people.

She originally suggested that it would be best to have an assistant perfumer certificate just to give it a try, but this statement brought her unexpected people.

"Tell me, why do you want this job?" Zhu Fu crossed his arms and looked at the old acquaintance opposite him.

"I have broken up with Wang Charlie for a long time! We are no longer master and apprentice!" The apprentice next to Wang Charlie looked nervous, his hands tightly fastened on his pants.

Since leaving Wang Charlie, it has become more difficult to find another perfumer to apprentice to. He is not that talented, and he has not learned anything after all the hard work. However, when he looks for a job, he will be looked down upon because he has no education and no experience. He finally got this suitable job, and he doesn't want to miss it, even if the employer is Zhufu, with whom he once had a grudge.

Now it seems that he was indeed petty at that time. With Zhu Fu's talent and strength, she really didn't need the teacher to be partial to her in order to produce a perfume like that. When a person's level is similar to yours, you may be jealous, but when his strength far exceeds yours, you will not have such thoughts.

He Feng just felt that no matter how Zhu Fu mocked and held a grudge against him, he just had to kneel down and kowtow to beg for forgiveness. As long as he was given this opportunity, his family really couldn't afford to waste any more time.

"Then do a set of questions."

To his surprise, Zhu Fu did not mention any past grudges, but only tested his basic knowledge - very basic, not the kind of common sense questions that required mixing perfume.

“Can citizens’ information be kept on record?”

Zhu Fu looked at the answer sheet and only asked this one question.

He Feng suddenly felt a sense of hope in his heart. Normally, a record was required before hiring an employee. Did he have a chance?

"can!"

What are you excited about?
Zhu Fu didn't quite understand and just nodded. "You can choose the store watching hours. It's longer than normal working hours. The starting salary is 4,000. There is no replacement for the time being, and I don't intend to train a perfumer. This is a pure store clerk position."

"I accept!" He Feng answered firmly.

Then let’s go to work~
After that, Zhu Fu no longer worried about the shop. After all, the perfume making competition was about to begin, and she had to go to the site to activate the registration, listen to the rules, and prepare for the first game. Management and making money were not on her mind at the moment.
