Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

The news about the hidden story behind the failure at the front spread among the front-line garrisons.

Li Kangle, who was busy with work, also heard about it.

"What Omega?" Li Kangle almost thought he had heard it wrong. How could there be an Omega here?
"It was just two days ago. Didn't we suffer a defeat earlier? I heard that an Omega sneaked in, and suddenly the pheromones went out of control, causing chaos. How do you think he got in? Those were all Alphas!"

It’s not that difficult…

But pretending to be cool is easy, but pretending to be A is not easy. Li Kangle admires him in his heart. If this is true, then he is really a model of Omega disguise.

He was about to ask for details when someone came up to him and said, "Your news is outdated. What's being spread now is that this Omega was just pushed out to take the blame. In fact, the Alpha was out of control a long time ago. This Omega is new. The soldiers are secretly discussing the reason."

"Take the blame? You're just pushing such a big thing onto others. Can you handle it?"

"Who knows? Anyway, this is not right. Some people say that in the lost match, the Omega was in heat and didn't go to the front at all. Some people also say that he had performed meritorious deeds before. With so many news spreading, I'm afraid there is something wrong. He hasn't been taking jobs in the camp recently. Even if he has to go, I don't think he can stay for long."

"Hey~~ Tell me, what's the reason why Alpha lost control?"

After this was said, everyone fell silent. Good question, if it wasn't the pheromones of the Omega that affected the Alpha, then what was it? The battlefield?
If the battlefield had this negative impact, it would have exploded long ago to attract the Zerg's hatred as an incentive. Obviously, the impact of the battlefield is not that great.

"You want to know? I have heard that--" someone was keeping the secret mysteriously.

Finally, under the urging of others, the answer was revealed.

"I heard that ~ yes, inhibitors -"

"This……"

"Is it possible? You are not kidding me, are you?"

"That's right! Inhibitors are meant to calm down Alphas and reduce the activity of pheromones. How can they make people lose control?"

"Tsk~" the person who broke the news said with disdain, "If we can't control it well, it will get out of control!"

Li Kangle's eyes widened and his pupils contracted. It was not impossible to see this way. No one could guarantee whether or not there would be clinical problems with pharmaceutical products, and those inhibitor companies never disclosed this information.

But if this is the case...

That's a big deal.

Not only the army, he also needs to use pheromones to disguise himself as a beta. If he loses control one day...

Li Kangle didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"No one refuted the rumor?"

"Who cares? I heard that Captain Huo openly questioned the investigation procedures and took people away from his hands and detained them without his consent. The investigation said that he deliberately covered up for them. The two sides are arguing fiercely. Who dares to reveal this matter? To be honest, this is much more serious than an Omega sneaking in! Sneaking in an Omega can just deal with one person. If there is a problem with the inhibitor, what should we do next? Should we use it or not? How to explain to the soldiers? There are so many tricks here! Otherwise, why would they keep talking about the Omega!"

"That's what's going on. Is there anything else to discuss about Omega matters? Just handle it however you want. Do you still need to ask for our opinions?"

These people are all veterans who have been able to work on the front line for so many years. They are not lacking in sensitivity and are more familiar with some of the tricks, so what they say is not aimless.

The more Li Kangle listened, the more serious the situation seemed to him, so he opened his bracelet and looked for the published information.

It would have been fine if he hadn't checked, but when he did, he found that the face looked familiar, very much like someone he knew when he was a child. Considering the area where they grew up, the person who lied to them was probably the same person. Li Kangle felt that he was in danger.

So this matter suddenly became important, and it was no longer an insignificant piece of gossip. The connection between the front line and the outside area was complicated, so it was unlikely that he would be directly suspected. Such places might not keep a file of his identity, but the intensity of the inspection here might be increased. He had to think of a way to cover it up without using inhibitors...

----

Zhu Fu, who was on the main planet, received the news. The news media reported the incident again, revealing many details, including Chu Bai's identity and image, but strangely, she always felt that there was something covered up, and there was no indication that he interfered with the front-line operations.

Perhaps there are other forces at work behind the scenes.

But she no longer had the energy to pay attention to it. Affected by the sudden tax increase, the Perfume Guild suddenly became reasonable and wanted to lend her self-service perfume-making machine to help develop new fragrances, in order to expand the inhibitor market as soon as possible and increase revenue. Recently, they were negotiating with her for authorization.

Zhu Fu would not work for the Fragrance Guild for nothing, especially when it comes to interests. She originally had the advantage and had already given the opportunity to the entire guild. Now if they want to kidnap her with some sense of righteousness or sentimentality, don’t even think about it!

All he talks about is ideology, but all he thinks about is business!
Since we are discussing cooperation, let’s talk business and draft the contract based on the value!

The Fragrance Guild just didn't understand this and kept trying to get her to lower prices and make concessions, which is why this tug of war was particularly exhausting.

War is annoying enough, tax increases are annoying too, and the guild will come after her, so even though she knew from spoilers that Chu Bai would be fine, she really didn't have much energy to focus on this. She only knew that this matter was still part of the plot.

But she was not in a hurry, but Rong Qingxu was having a hard time.

"You didn't even prepare a countermeasure for such an important matter?!" After learning about the problems with inhibitors on the front line, Rong Qingxu rarely got angry.

"Niece, we didn't want this to happen. Everything was fine. Who knew that something like this would suddenly pop up? We can only blame the situation on the front line for getting out of control. How could we have thought of this?"

The senior members all shirked their responsibilities. Rong Qingxu was blunt, "Appropriate? How can it be appropriate? Doing things without leaving any room for error, is this what you think is appropriate?"

"A mistake~ a momentary mistake! I knew you were smart, niece. Didn't I come to discuss this with you?"

The man smiled and looked at Rong Qingxu.

Rong Qingxu was really furious. "Looking for me? Why didn't you look for me earlier? When was this decided? Was it all discussed? How come I didn't know?"

The middle-aged man slowly lit up the expensive tobacco and began to puff out smoke.

"Niece, I shouldn't have said this. Each family has a part in the matter, just like the perfume's effect on glands and pheromones. We all signed a confidentiality agreement. You shouldn't have asked me if you didn't know."

There is someone else who is hiding it from you.

Knowing this, Rong Qingxu couldn't calm down.

It seemed that the old man let her go, entrusted her with important tasks, and let her take over the core industry, but in fact he was still keeping a hand behind her back, looking for an opportunity to control her!
"So? What do you want me to do now? I have no idea!" Rong Qingxu returned the words in a cold voice.

"You can't say that. Didn't you handle the previous incident very well? We don't have to bear the responsibility. We are just businessmen. Researchers should know about the side effects."

boom--

Rong Qingxu threw the handle in his hand onto the table. The small object immediately broke into pieces and scattered to the sides, leaving grayish-white marks and cracks on the tabletop after washing.

"This is different. I won't do anything to end my own life."

What is the most important thing for an inhibitor company? The recipe!
Inhibitors have not remained static over the years, and there are always new discoveries. The reason they are able to control the industry and keep the company standing is that they can buy new contract renewals with each iteration.

Therefore, the research side is extremely important. Each of them has investments in a few fixed schools. Are you now pushing the blame onto them?

Whether it succeeds or not is another matter. Anyway, the relationship that has been built up over the years is going to be ruined. Is she crazy to do such a thing?

"Don't say such harsh words. It's just a precaution. We don't have to take this step. If it really comes to this, I don't believe that you won't do it. Besides, your Rong family is not only in the inhibitor business. We also have to be on guard against you cutting off your own arm to survive and not playing with us. For peace of mind, you should act earlier."

You can ignore the first part of this sentence, the latter part is the key point. The Rong family had a lot of assets before, and had accumulated a lot of foundation in the fast-moving consumer goods field. These people were afraid that she would shirk responsibility, so they came to her.

Rong Qingxu immediately regretted agreeing to the meeting.

So that's why I told her!
Originally she really didn't know and was innocent in this matter. But now, she has no reason not to know and has to be involved in this mess.

"Tell me, what's the situation on the front line." Knowing that he couldn't get rid of it, Rong Qingxu also lit a cigarette.

The smoke curled up, just like their troubles, filling the entire room.

"It's just a private rumor at the moment, but our people reported back that there's someone behind this..."

……

Rong Qingxu didn't know what expression he had when he sent the person out.

She is a business person.

If she gets involved in the game between the two parties, she will be cannon fodder. I believe that both sides don't mind sacrificing them to achieve harmony, especially when the matter can be attributed to something done privately by a certain company, rather than the entire industry being rotten, which makes it particularly cost-effective.

So even though she knew someone was taking action behind her back, she couldn't stop it. This was different from dealing with Zhu Fu, it was not an equal game at all.

Before, she felt that she and Zhu Fu were like an ant and an elephant, and there would be no unbearable consequences if they were dealt with. But now, facing those two parties, she suddenly became the ant.

It was really hard for her to feel happy about this realization. As an Alpha, her competitive nature made it particularly difficult for her to restrain herself.

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. We have to give an explanation for this matter, and the sooner the better. If we say anything after it explodes, it will be a different story.

"Let me think about it..."

The lights in Rong Qingxu's office were on until midnight.

At the same time, Zhu Fu was contacting Han Liqing to discuss the specific content of his donation of perfume.

"Mr. Han, I have a little idea. What do you think of this thing? Why don't we buy one and add enough spices to it and send it over? It will surely be more useful than just perfume!" Zhu Fu raised his hand and pointed to the perfume-making machine.

But you must agree!
Once the order is placed here, she can tell the Incense Guild that they are not the only buyers, and don't think about bargaining. Who knows, she may be able to have peace of mind from now on.

Han Liqing looked at the machine and thought about the commotion caused by this thing. It didn't take much effort to confirm that this was more useful than perfume. What if A Le encountered something there, maybe it would come in handy?
