Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

Aerial advertisements that block out light and shadow are hung on the broadcaster, symbolizing the openness, transparency and determination of this competition.

The official channel began broadcasting from multiple angles.

In one of the teams verifying the competition information——

"You should join in too! I hope you're not my opponent. Otherwise, who can beat you?"

Zhu Fu faced the sword-like gazes of his colleagues and looked at Xiang Wanzhou with a wry smile. Although your tone is really sincere, I really don’t want to be in the spotlight here!

"Is Wanzhou such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, I don't know what the rules are for the preliminary round..." Xiang Wanzhou looked worried, "How can we compete with so many people~"

They didn't need to worry about this, as the organizer soon began to read the rules over and over again. This was indeed a big event, and the opening act was to work in groups. When had they ever cooperated in this industry before?

"...Five people will form a group according to the steps of material selection, material matching, initial mixing, blending, and decoration..."

Zhu Fu heard the grumbling in his ear,

“Who would want to do that?”

"Five people are needed to do this? What is the organizer's intention?"

"You really want to swipe people?"

However, since they were already here, they didn't directly object or show any intention of leaving. Soon the topic turned to how to fight for the three important steps in the middle.

Xiang Wanzhou looked at Zhu Fu, who was calm and composed. He wanted to pull her in to join the conversation, but he kept his mouth shut. She didn't seem to be worried.

Zhu Fu really didn't care. If you think about it carefully, you will know why. Although the venue is large, there are many people who signed up. How can there be any fun except watching the excitement? So you have to screen people quickly? Compared with speaking with strength, this step is probably a test of luck and means. These two naive people who have nothing to do with it should go back as soon as possible to avoid delaying their performance.

What's there to be nervous about in a place that doesn't rely on professionalism at all?
While they were waiting, their information was checked. Dozens of people lined up together and started drawing lots to form groups. After six or eight groups, they were divided into pairs and put into the venue. After a brief discussion, they began to collaborate. The group with a higher degree of completion would advance, and the other group would be eliminated in one round and go home.

[Making trouble! This must be making trouble! I didn’t expect the Incense Industry Guild to stir up such a conflict without making any noise! ​​]

[Wow~ this is great, I just saw two Alphas get into a group and start arguing, they even overturned their tools, I wonder how it is here]

[I just saw a familiar name? Zhu Fu? Is it her?]

【Zhu Fu?! 】

[What's wrong? Why are you so excited? Is she famous? ]

[It’s not famous… did you see that outrageous competition? I was working overtime every day at that time and I saw this as a joke. Don’t tell me! It really made me laugh! ]

[I went off topic earlier and didn’t get to the point. Zhu Fu was the initiator of the outrageous competition. When he first entered the industry, he picked out the recipe that all junior perfumers wanted. Later, he accompanied his Omega friend to the hospital and was rumored to be in a relationship, which started the outrageous competition. He came from behind and is one of the few people I know in the perfume industry.]

[So which one is she? I tried to track her down but couldn't find her! ]

Zhu Fu had no idea about the nonsense in the barrage. As soon as her draw results came out, the team members had already been announced. This group of temporary teammates included three betas and one alpha, and one of them was Xiang Wanzhou, whom she knew. It seemed that they had some kind of fate.

"Is it okay for me to do the distribution?" Alpha put one hand in his pocket and stretched out the other hand to direct them, raising his chin as a matter of course.

Several people looked at each other but said nothing.

"I - want to mediate, is that okay with you?" Alpha picked a good position without any hesitation.

"Yes! Why?" A cool girl with short hair looked over with her arms folded.

"That's right! Why? Who isn't an intermediate perfumer? Why should I listen to you~" The remaining beta saw someone speaking up and followed suit.

Alpha seemed to be hallucinating, and looked down in surprise, "Are you kidding me? What's wrong with me commanding you guys?"

"Hey, who are you? Commanding us? Don't you think you are qualified enough?"

Zhu Fu did not participate. She silently glanced at the question and the time limit, and calculated the completion time. Very good, if she argued for another five minutes, she would probably not be able to finish it. She didn't want to accompany these people who were eliminated in the one round.

"Stop arguing!"

The four of them turned their eyes to Zhu Fu.

"I come!"

"You?" Except for Xiang Wanzhou, the other three people's eyes were full of suspicion. If for no other reason, she was the youngest among them and it should not be her turn according to seniority.

Thumb thump——

Zhu Fu knocked on the table to attract attention. "Have you read the questions? Since we are cooperating, I will calculate at the normal speed. It will take 50 minutes. There are still 53 minutes and 48 seconds left in the countdown. Are you still arguing?"

"Then..." Alpha wanted to say more, but was interrupted impatiently by Zhu Fu.

"I will select the materials, Xiang Wanzhou, you will process the materials, and the two of you, the female will do the initial mixing, the male will do the blending, and the Alpha, you will be responsible for selecting the decorations--" Zhu Fu pointed at them one by one.

"I--"

"What? Do you have any objections? I've given you a chance. If you continue to argue as you wish, we won't have to work anymore." Zhu Fu smoothed out his gloves with a sarcastic look in his eyes.

"As Alpha..."

"Okay!" Zhu Fu interrupted, "The recipe is extremely simple, just the basics, you can show off in the next part! Now~ don't give me any trouble--" Several people were silent. Even Xiang Wanzhou, who was familiar with Zhu Fu, was a little surprised by her performance, but that didn't stop her from expressing her opinion.

"I agree that Zhu Fu will arrange it."

The cool sister still refused to accept, "You guys know each other and are in a group?"

"Are you not satisfied?" Xiang Wanzhou choked her with a question.

This is better than what that egomaniac arranged. At least I took a step back. If I really have to choose, I'd choose this one...

"What about you?" Zhu Fu looked at the remaining beta again.

"I can do anything..." The male beta nodded rapidly.

She gave in and chose the least important step, and she got the best step, so he didn't feel dissatisfied.

"You seem to have some taste. Is that okay?" Zhu Fu looked at Alpha again.

His taste was affirmed, and the other people were obviously interested. With a 4 to 1 ratio, the Alpha was instantly like a deflated balloon, unable to express his opinion. "No problem."

"Then let's get ready--" Zhu Fu picked up the material money and ran to the material area to start picking up materials frantically. The later it got, the worse the materials here became.

After selecting qualified ones from these uneven materials, she immediately threw them to Xiang Wanzhou. She knew this man's strength and his solid foundation, so there would be no problem with this basic skill.

After Xiang Wanzhou finished processing the first few items, he unexpectedly discovered that the main ingredients had been prepared and could be handed over to the next person. He instantly had a deeper understanding of Zhu Fu's level.

When the main ingredients began to be extracted and prepared, Zhu Fu handed the next step of auxiliary ingredients to Xiang Wanzhou, and began to stare at the whole scene with ease.

"Ouch——" The male beta had an accident during the handover and his sleeve flipped over the container.

Zhu Fu rushed forward two steps, grabbed the person, and saved the container in an instant.

Alpha's dissatisfied voice came, "What's wrong with you? You can't even do such a simple thing. Stop causing trouble for me and quit as soon as possible!"

"I was careless..." the beta said aggrievedly.

Zhu Fu was too lazy to settle the case and handed the container back. "It's still half full and can be used. You pass it over. I can't interfere."

Sister Ku took it, weighed the amount neatly, removed half of the material in her hand, mixed the product with extremely steady hands, and made the final configuration.

After this process there was a period of waiting, but the five people did not speak to each other and endured peacefully until the end, which was the biggest compromise and concession in the game.

[This group looks quite harmonious, why is the atmosphere so weird? ]

[There is a feeling of wanting to go crazy but restraining myself...]

[Anyway, it went smoothly. From the beginning to now, these perfumers are not as impressive as I thought. They are afraid of hard work and like to show off, which is exactly the same as my office~]

[I like the previous one. It turns out that people are the same in every industry.]

[That's not the case. Look at Zhu Fu. He is still so outstanding in this team. He has a great vision!]

[Ah? This lady is Zhu Fu? She looks younger than I thought, but she has more aura. She is not afraid of Alpha at all.]

[How can you tell so much? I only know that she is good at lubrication. You see, she took the initiative to take a step back, and this thing can be done. This is obviously the positioning of a beta. What aura or not, at most you can say that she is professional! ]

[Can the beta positioning make the alpha accept such a marginal positioning? I guess your alpha colleagues are also so easy to talk to, right? ]

At the scene, Cool Sister was also concerned about this issue.

“How do you distribute it?”

It was a rare opportunity to have a topic that didn't have to be boring, so the four of them all turned their eyes to Zhu Fu.

Since he had nothing to do, Zhu Fu met their expectant gazes and began to answer their questions.

"First of all, since I am the one who is going to make this arrangement, I must not seek benefits for myself. Then, his—" Zhu Fu turned and gestured in the direction where Alpha was busy. "I've said that he has a good aesthetic sense. Although the steps of choosing the perfume bottle and decorative packaging seem not that important, he is the only one who can bring bonus in this area."

That makes sense. Alpha turned his head and got busy to hide the curled corners of his mouth. The three nodded. What about them?
"I know Xiang Wanzhou. I know she is a veteran with solid basic skills. Handling materials is actually an area that many people overlook, but I am sure she can do a good job if I give it to her."

Xiang Wanzhou smiled. It was always a pleasure to be recognized.

"As for you two..." Zhu Fu's eyes wandered between the two of them. "I made the decision based on their personalities. This sister is more straightforward, so she won't think too much when trying to reconcile. Although he is more hesitant, he is more cautious and will not let us fail at this critical stage."

Although there are always unexpected results, it has generally stabilized.

After Alpha finished his work, they pressed the submission bell, and the aircraft soon came with the box and left with the box.

At this point, the five people felt relieved. The couple on the opposite side started arguing again while they were adjusting, and it was unknown whether they could complete it. This time, they were stable!

Sure enough, ten minutes later, when the time was up, the careful aircraft came to inform them that they had passed and announced the next arrangements.

"Please come between 8:00 and 12:00 the day after tomorrow to draw the order for the individual elimination rounds—"
