Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

[Sister Fu! It’s finally my sister Fu’s turn! ]

[Go ahead, Sister Fu! You deserve it! ]

【Congratulations to Zhu Fu, the best beta in the world! 】

After preparing for so long, Zhu Fu thought she would be very calm, but when the moment really came, her heart suddenly beat uncontrollably.

What an amazing opportunity!

The profession of perfumer does not receive much attention. Their works are usually much more popular than themselves, and the popularity of their works is often hidden under big brands. Perfumers do not have many opportunities to really come into the spotlight.

But in this special world, due to fate, she has received unprecedented attention and admiration, and received support that she never dared to imagine. Shouldn't this make her excited?

She stood firmly on the podium, holding the commemorative trophy in her hand.

"Thank you for your support. You have made everyone aware of the unpopular profession of perfumer. Hmm..." Zhu Fu glanced at the reactions of the audience, "Maybe it won't be so unpopular in the next one or two years."

"But I think most people are still unfamiliar with this profession, especially in our world, where some people are natural scent makers, so they think, perfume? Is it that complicated? It's unnecessary!"

There was a good-natured laugh from the audience.

Zhu Fu's expression became serious. "This is actually my problem. In such a world, what is the necessity of perfume? To be honest, I still don't have the answer. Perfume is not a necessity. It is often considered after basic life is met. It is a reflection of life attitude, taste and aesthetics."

"As we all know, perfume has made a milestone. It is no longer a useless thing that can be ignored, but has a real and useful branch."

"Of course, I'm not here to say this. I support perfume continuing to exist as a useless thing. The value of things cannot be judged by their practical value. This will make us miss a lot of things, just like gender cannot be used to judge a person's entirety. In fact, everyone has their own uniqueness."

"My latest perfume series is created for beta, named True Self. The original intention of creating it is just that beta can express itself in this world with meaningful smells. Although beta does not have pheromones, it can also have its own smell through its own choice and become the protagonist of its own world."

“It seems that I have said too much, so let’s get back to the topic. Here I hope that friends who support me, regardless of gender or new products, can live their own lives and express their own attitude towards life! The world is a collection of all people. Only when you are well, the world will become better!”

Applause broke out from below and gradually became continuous. Zhu Fu was in a daze and didn't hear the host's words at all. It was only after she got her seat that she realized that something was wrong!

I didn’t do any publicity!
Such a good opportunity was wasted!

The world is important, and my bread is important too!

【Wu~Sister Fu is awesome! 】

[Sister Fu has always been very caring towards us, it’s not surprising that she said this]

[That’s right! That’s right! So if there is any spicy perfume, I will choke them to death! ]

[Beta's own smell! Support! Since A and O can't eliminate the smell, let's emit the smell together! 】

「Huh? Isn’t it a bit strange to say this at a time like this?」

[What's so strange about this! Originally, Zhu Fu's position was chosen by our votes! Without our efforts, how could Zhu Fu speak out as a beta? It's said that perfume making is a niche industry, so is she talking about perfume making? She is a senior perfumer, who would understand if she really talked about it? It's just right now.]

[That’s right! Sister Fu’s sources of inspiration are very diverse. She is also talking about her own creative journey. What’s the problem? ]

[I don't care about this. Her words are very interesting. Where can I buy her works? ]

[Wow~ there's a new person! Sister Fu just opened a new store, and the supply is quite sufficient recently. However, if you don't know much about perfume, don't place an order blindly. Don't underestimate the small bottle. If you don't like it, you won't be able to use it up for a long time.]

[Buy, buy, buy! I just bought some! I went on a business trip and when I came back I found new products and they had moved! The old store is seriously out of stock now! ]

[I touched the one in front. There is no other way. The traffic there is not good. Sister Fu lives there, so it is easy to get congested. We have to control the flow of customers. It can only exist as a sentimental old store.]

[Such a big move, does Sister Fu have a new business? Otherwise, why would she be willing to spend so much money?]

[I think so. I heard that she even rented an office. If there is no new business, Sister Fu won’t use it.]

This is a big part of the reason why Zhu Fu regrets. Promotion does not only refer to the business of selling perfume, but also includes cooperation in supplying goods to the military. This aspect does not involve confidentiality agreements. Speaking out about it can not only gain popularity, but also remind the managers of other camps, and maybe more business can be negotiated.

Of course, business is not the most important thing. Zhu Fu is envious of the military's relationship. They must know a lot of laboratories, right? Then can we conduct in-depth research on pheromones? Discover the in-depth reasons why perfume can affect pheromones?

After traveling to this world, it is impossible for her not to be curious about pheromone glands. Since her career is thriving now and she doesn't have to worry too much, it is normal for her to come up with something new.
However, before Zhu Fu could make any move to hook up with the military, she was taken home by her teacher.

"How come you didn't contact your teacher after winning the award? Do you look down on the teacher's level?"

Zhu Fu immediately sat down obediently and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "How dare I! Isn't it that you are busy planning to open a store, and I am afraid of disturbing you?"

Mingshu is preparing for her own bakery recently, which has been abandoned for many years. Compared with simple perfume making, Mingshu has more feelings for baking, so after failing to promote perfume with food flavor, she thought of what Zhu Fu said about using perfume to create a store atmosphere, and after thinking about it, she decided to open a bakery to take advantage of both sides. In this regard, Liszt expressed his support, it is rare for his partner to be interested in something, he is happy to see it happen, and he is also happy to receive his partner's help, and even specifically told Zhu Fu not to disturb him too much.

Therefore, when Mingshu came to her senses and discovered that the student had not contacted her for a long time, the current situation occurred.

Mingshu had guessed something, but he just skipped the stage of accusing her. "Now that we've moved, we're closer. Come over for dinner more often when you're free. Look how thin you are. How come you can't eat well even though you've made so much money?"

Because hiring a human chef is too expensive...

Zhu Fu silently complained in her heart. She knew how to cook, so she no longer had the problem of not being able to afford ingredients. However, her residence and office were upstairs and downstairs from each other, and there were often messy documents piled up inside, where some plans were discussed. Not to mention whether it was expensive or not, it was mainly not suitable for irrelevant people to enter.

With three things to take care of, namely shops, factories and R&D, Zhu Fu was in no mood to do anything himself. For meals he could only look for shops nearby and let the smart program do something simple in the morning. He muddled through day after day like this.

"Isn't the teacher going to open a bakery? Why don't I order some and put them in the office for us to have some for a snack."

"You are so busy, you really are young." Mingshu shook his head and decided to give her more food.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Liszt came over and asked, "I heard that you are discussing cooperation with the front line?"

"We are talking about it." Zhu Fu did not deny it. In fact, the contract had been signed, but the goods had not been shipped yet. Considering the issue of priority, she wanted to have some peace and quiet.

"Quite a few people in the guild are dissatisfied." Liszt looked at her meaningfully.

"Let them do whatever they want. Isn't business based on each person's ability? I've been giving in for so long but they haven't gotten any benefit?" Zhu Fu sneered.

They are nothing more than those who conduct new research and grab new markets. After so long, they are still stuck in the scope of high-end customization, and they deserve not to have customers like the military.

If you want to make money with anything, it is best to sell in large quantities. High-end customization may seem expensive, but it is not easy to make money. How many orders can you get with such a high price? How can it compare to accumulating small amounts to make a big one?

So if you are too excited and lose your direction, don’t blame others for making money!

"They don't dare to do it now, but it's hard to say whether they will take any action in the future. You see, you have reached a senior level now, why don't you take up a position?" Lister stated his ultimate goal.

Zhu Fu decisively shook her head and refused, "I'm too busy right now, let's talk about it after this cooperation is over."

She was not interested in the Perfume Industry Guild. Fighting over such a small thing would only narrow their horizons. Even such basic and easy-to-think things as the effects of smells on pheromones and glands have not been discovered in all these years. Zhu Fu did not think that there was anything advanced about the existence of the Perfume Industry Guild. Sooner or later it should be abolished or turned into a service-oriented organization.

So what is the point of joining such an organization?

Is it because you have too much energy and have no place to vent it?
After listening to her, Liszt did not try to persuade her any further, but only reminded her not to forget her daily obligations.

According to the default rules of the Incense Industry Guild, when you reach a senior level, you must train the younger generation to make contributions. Zhu Fu decided to take the money and leave it at that. Does she still need to talk about her experience? At her age, just standing there is very irritating to some people.

"Okay~ Stop talking about business. It's rare for Ah Fu to come here, and I have good news. I've learned a new dish. It's said that it was cooked with a lot of spices in ancient times to celebrate victory and honor. It's just right for Ah Fu to try it."

Zhu Fu immediately put on a smile, "Great! Teacher's cooking skills are the best. There must be a surprise today!"

Zhu Fu then paid the price for her words and deeds——

"Uh……"

Zhu Fu looked at the yellow patch in front of him and poked it with his cutlery. There were a lot of spices, but why did it go in the direction of Indian cuisine? Could this really be appetizing?
Looking at Mingshu's expectant eyes, Zhu Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and stuff it into his mouth.

It wasn't that bad, but the spices were too complex and a bit pungent, which was quite torturous to the taste buds. Fortunately, she was a beta and her sense of taste was only normal, so she could eat it smoothly.

But this does explain why this dish has become an ancient recipe.

How about trying some stewed food in the future? Develop the correct usage of spices? Zhu Fu's thinking diverged.

"Afu? How does it taste?"

"Ah? It's okay? I'm not used to it, but it's not bad~"

"How about some more?"

Zhu Fu froze and stood up quickly.

"Teacher, you are busy! I have to go to a meeting. I will come over when you open the business the day after tomorrow—"
