Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

"The idea for this fragrance was decided very hastily, but since it is a custom fragrance, I can only subconsciously analyze and extract information. You all already know the customer's situation, and the biggest difficulty is that she has no definite needs."

"So I had to take the initiative to explore her life traces, trying to interpret her inner thoughts and find a glimmer of inspiration. Fortunately, Zhang Yun is a person with a strong sense of life. Although her life pressure is not small and the work she faces every day is very heavy, her aspirations and hopes are plain and warm."

"So I thought, isn't this what she wants? There are always some main themes in the complicated life, such as the work she insists on and the cooking skills she is proud of. But these are just descriptions of the current situation and can't really reflect her aspirations. So after a more detailed exploration, I found traces of roses. Doesn't this rich and fragrant smell just represent a part of her that transcends reality?"

"The next thing to do is simple. Arrange and combine these elements to create a perfume that represents Zhang Yun."

Zhu Fu forced himself to finish his speech. He stood there looking very calm, like a great general. But in fact his mind was blank. He hardly knew what he had just said. He was just vaguely wondering when it would end. He was just relying on his willpower to stay there.

[Ah… Looking at it this way, it really is exclusive, work and hobby]

[I feel quite emotional. It's rare to see someone talking about the customer's situation instead of stating how earth-shattering and groundbreaking his own ideas are.]

[This is the customization I want! It’s based on my own situation, not some weird theories that I can’t figure out what it has to do with me.]

[Will you take my order? I have saved a little money and I look pretty good, but I just lack good things]

[At such an exciting time, why doesn't Sister Fu look excited? 】

The judges nodded, and began to comment after some humility. Ever since the last outspoken person got into trouble, the guild had privately instructed them to speak more beautifully of flowers, so they were much more restrained in their comments. Using flowers to carry people can bring good looks, but if there was any negative news and they suffered losses, it would be a loss. For people of their status, even if they just waited for time, they could still gain some wealth and glory.

"Let me go first." Qin Ying pressed the communication microphone and connected to the main channel. "Your idea is good, and it's rare to have a service spirit. However, the success of a fragrance cannot be determined by only one person. I will try this fragrance myself--"

Qin Ying borrowed the perfume bottle from Zhang Yun, tried the scent, carefully wrote down a few words, then turned around and chatted with other judges. The audience could only see her nod and turn on the microphone again.

"It's interesting. The atmosphere created by this fragrance is a little unfamiliar to me. The mellow malt aroma creates a sense of cooking environment. The cold and hard mechanical feeling should have tended to be far away from human beings, but the entanglement with the malt aroma instead constructs a feeling of interweaving work and life, which makes the taster feel the warmth of human beings. These daily realistic and ordinary contents are sublimated in the final light rose base, as if injecting a touch of romance into this scene and leaving room for imagination."

"However, this fragrance gives me a very mature feeling, and it can almost be put on the shelves immediately. It is hard to imagine that the whole idea was determined and perfectly presented in just a dozen hours after I just met this customer." Maybe you are really a genius? Qin Ying thought, but she never encouraged beta gently, so she didn't say it out loud. She hoped that her little apprentice could achieve this level. If necessary, she could also let him go to communicate?

But the tone was high enough, and it was difficult for the other judges to find points of praise. If they kept praising the judges, it would seem fake, as if they had no level. So in the end, some judges still found fault with the judges.

"Your work is very good, and your clients also approve of your work. I don't have much to comment on, but I don't understand one thing. You seemed to have fallen asleep for more than three hours out of the five hours of blending? Was it because of fatigue? Or were you confident that you could blend a new product successfully in one try? During the blending process, you didn't hesitate at all, which was a bit too skilled. I don't want to doubt you or make malicious assumptions, but does this fragrance really not conflict with your previous ideas?"

Zhu Fu pinched the flesh on the inside of her arm and twisted it, then took a few deep breaths and forced herself to stay awake.

"I do feel a little unwell."

She answered with this, and raised her hand to show her red body, "But I really couldn't force myself to operate at that time. In fact, during those three hours when I seemed motionless, my brain was working all the time, so I was able to complete the preparation smoothly."

"As for the formula, that's even more impossible. My dynamics are relatively clear. I've only been in this industry for a short time, and I've passed the primary and intermediate assessments consecutively. My direction is simulating pheromones, and I didn't have the time or motivation to conduct research in this direction in advance. It's a completely new inspiration, and I'm very glad that I didn't mess it up to this degree of completion."

[Oh my god! Look at Sister Fu's arm, it's all red, what's the symptom? ]

[Looking back now, I realized that Sister Fu’s face was not in good condition. She was abnormally red. She was not excited as I thought before.]

[She really... This beta has been full of blood and gore since the first fragrance, and all the processes are under the eyes of netizens. It is really impossible for her to come up with a new fragrance in secret! ]

[Yeah~ Her train of thought is actually very clear. If I remember correctly, it was after the cedar was applied that the scent of imitating pheromones increased. It is impossible for it to suddenly turn to something warm and cozy about a family. How could she have such a feeling when she lives alone? ]

[I don’t know her previous works, but I am still interested in this one. It sounds like a very “safe” fragrance for ordinary people. I wonder if you can understand it.]

[I can totally understand this~ I have never bought perfume, but I have been to perfume stores several times. The names and descriptions of perfumes are too abstract and high-end. I always feel that I am not worthy of these high-end things with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan. Now what I am talking about is much more plain and I feel that it can be used without any violation.]

[That's why Zhang Yun gave it full marks. This is a perfume that ordinary people can feel. Zhu Fu didn't use those complicated concepts to instill in her when she didn't understand. There are very few upper-class people, I mean those Alphas or successful people in various fields~ Intermediate perfumers are actually considered successful, right? At least they have a small amount of money and don't worry about their lives. Such upper-class people are often arrogant in their own fields and have no room for ordinary people in their eyes]

[Because she is young and comes from an ordinary family. For now, if I have the conditions to customize perfume, I will choose her.]

[I have already ordered the finished perfume. I can't afford to customize it, but I can still get perfume easily! ] [Ah————My treasure has been discovered. Will there be a purchase limit again in the future? ! There was a purchase limit when I first knew about it. I fought for several days before I got it, but Xuesong is really a must-have! Special! Good! Useful! ]

The audience's discussion continued to fill the screen, and Zhu Fu looked at Liszt on the sidelines, asking him to pay attention.

Zong Xiangsheng's face was as tense as a piece of iron at this moment. His apprentice did not get full marks and had a quarrel with the customer, and the situation was so tense that it was impossible to change the marks. However, Zhu Fu had obviously succeeded in her work on her gloves, but she still got full marks.

And Qin Ying, on the surface, seems to be fair in her comments, but in fact, this bland design is not worth praising. Who would buy such a perfume? How dare she think and say it!
The judges' comments do not involve scores. They just act as consultants to let the audience know how to judge whether the perfume is good or bad, what they can taste, and what problems exist from a professional perspective.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of the entire competition is to promote the perfume and let more people know about it, so this setting is also for publicity needs, not for schedule settings.

If the judges do not have too many objections, the scores will remain unchanged. Therefore, Zong Xiangsheng's ugly face may be due to his unhappiness as he has done something wrong, especially since this person has a grudge against him, and he instantly felt extremely aggrieved.

"Congratulations to our contestant Zhu Fu for getting full marks! She has secured her place in the championship! Next..."

At this point, Zhu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and she knew nothing after that.

……

Hospital single room.

Zhu Fu opened her eyes dazedly and saw the vital sign monitoring instrument. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xiang Wanzhou who was surprised and Lister who was still worried.

"You brought me to the hospital? Is it over?"

Liszt said in a stern tone, "Your hand is so swollen, and you still care about the competition? You won't have your hand anymore if you delay any longer!"

Zhu Fu looked at Wan Zhou again.

"It's over. No one has surpassed you. You are the first." Xiang Wanzhou's eyes were a little complicated. Although she had some understanding of Zhu Fu's strength, she still underestimated some things. Just the pain and burning sensation in her hand made it impossible for her to complete the configuration.

That's good, her persistence was not in vain. However, she couldn't suffer this pain in vain. Zhu Fu moved her hand and found that there was a drug-administering device stuck on it. She carefully pinched the edge and lifted the blanket, then reached into the pocket.

Then I touched nothing...

"Where's my coat?"

Xiang Wanzhou responded, "I got it. I put it in the cabinet over there. What are you looking for?"

"You didn't search your pockets, did you? There's evidence in your left pocket. Let's give it to the hospital for testing."

As soon as Zhu Fu said this, Liszt reacted, "Someone tampered with it? The gloves?"

Zhu Fu nodded symbolically while lying on the bed. "I didn't shake in front of the camera. The association should give me an explanation, right? I was plotted against in a place where I am one of their own. What's wrong with that?"

Liszt took off the gloves and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry."

Because he was an Alpha, it was inconvenient for Liszt to stay any longer, so he took his gloves and left, calling his spouse Mingshu to accompany Zhu Fu.

"Afu, you were in the hospital during such a good competition?" Mingshu felt distressed at first, but then proud. "When they heard that my apprentice won first place in the intermediate group, they were so envious. They all said how could I have such a good apprentice. When you get better, you have to celebrate. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Ah~~" Zhu Fu made a regretful sound, "The doctor said I can't eat anything with a strong smell recently——"
