Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume
Chapter 8 Execution of Gamble
Zhu Fu took the contact number and passing result provided by the examiner and went to find Wang Charlie openly, smiling without a trace of malice.
"Are you here? The examiner heard about our bet and gave me a score in advance. Look—I passed."
When Wang Charlie saw the passing record on Zhu Fu's bracelet screen, he almost had a heart attack. She really passed! Now they are equal! Why?
"How could you! How could it be so fast! Do you know the examiner? You must have cheated!"
There is still a review, he still has a chance! The problem will definitely be found!
Wang Charlie was so flustered as if he had been slapped in the face by an Alpha, leaving him powerless to resist.
"Why are you always thinking about cheating and stealing? Is this not all there is in your world? Is this what it means when a lewd person sees another lewd person?" Zhu Fu shook his head and sneered.
The chief examiner does not participate in the scoring and review, doesn't he know this? And the whole process is transparent and open and recorded, what is he doubting?
"What?" Wang Charlie didn't understand the word, "What do you mean?"
"I mean..." Zhu Fu smiled, looking excited, "You should prepare to apologize, Junior Perfumer Wang Charlie."
The string in Wang Charlie's mind snapped. He lost? He really lost! His lips moved as he kept repeating, "How could I... How could I lose to a poor beta like you..."
Hearing the words she didn't want to hear again, Zhu Fu's good mood faded a little. She looked over coldly and asked, "Do you want to know why?"
Wang Charlie and his apprentice all looked over.
"Because my family has a long history of learning, I didn't take the exam before because I was still young. Now I'm suddenly needed to run the store, so I'm trying to show my ability. I didn't expect to meet someone like you who looks down on others!"
At this time, another candidate came out and noticed the noise here. They all pricked up their ears and listened. After hearing this sentence, they suddenly realized that this person came here to pursue his individuality, but ended up being chased and bitten by Wang Charlie. How could they not be angry!
"Teacher--" the apprentice reminded Wang Charlie that there were too many people here and they could not stay any longer.
Wang Charlie's face froze, and he reluctantly opened the bracelet and apologized on various social media platforms. At this point, he could no longer shirk his responsibilities, and he had to bite the bullet and post it even if he was unwilling.
[I judge people by their appearance, to the perfumer]
"Zhu Fu, Zhu for blessing, Fu for fragrance, remember my name!" Zhu Fu glanced at his pause.
[I made a bad assumption about the perfumer Zhu Fu based on her appearance. I apologize for this.]
How perfunctory! Zhu Fu snorted in her heart, but she didn't expect such a person to say anything nice. She just wanted to kill his spirit and use him as a social platform.
"That was really reluctant. Don't do it again next time. Learn from your lesson~" Zhu Fu picked up the half-empty bag, threw it over his shoulder, and turned to leave.
But she didn't know that a discussion had started behind her.
"So cool! What's the background of this beta?"
"Who knows? She's a stranger, but I saw her talking to the examiner just now."
"Vice Chairman? They are all betas, it's possible. No wonder she is so confident."
"Wang Charlie is really blind. He broke my hand with his first move."
"Why should I feel sorry for him? After being kicked out by his teacher, it's normal for him to be out of touch with the news~"
Wang Charlie's heart was heaving violently. He remembered this humiliation! When he got the intermediate certification, he would definitely take revenge!
----
Zhu Fu, who had already walked out of the door, knew nothing about this and just walked skillfully to the public transportation station. It was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, the standard time, and the office workers had not yet gotten off work. The trains heading out of the core area were very busy, and she had a rare seat.
After this incident, she relaxed a little. Her certificate would be issued after the review within five days, and the store would be safe then. Because of the auditor's strong publicity, her savings had reached 11,000 yuan, which was just enough to make a change to the store. Selling her own perfume without change was a hidden danger, and she was not sure whether the fat Jinrong next door was still watching her. What if he found a loophole?
After arriving at the station, Zhu Fu noticed a fruit and vegetable store on her way home. The store was run by a couple and was several hundred meters away from her perfume shop. Zhu's mother used to buy things here often, and she also bought the ingredients for her oranges here before. Their family can be considered honest and kind.
Thinking about his hungry stomach after a whole day, Zhu Fu decided to buy some food and finish his meal quickly.
"Uncle, what's the price of the eggplant today? Give me a round melon too."
"It's Ah Fu~ Why did you want to buy round melons today? Is there anything good?"
"I passed the exam. Now the store is completely stable." Zhu Fu picked up two kilograms of eggplants and handed them over.
"That's great! If you had done this earlier, your mother would be so happy... Look at me! I said the wrong thing!" The uncle apologized.
"It's okay." Anyway, it's the unscrupulous author's fault. Such a good person had to be trapped in that role.
"The melon is frozen for you. Please process it as soon as possible, otherwise the skin will smell bad!"
Zhu Fu nodded, took the bag and went home. She definitely couldn't forget this kind of thing. Ordinary people might find it smelly, but to her it was probably a biological weapon.
But she didn't expect it to rot so quickly...
"vomit--"
Zhu Fu opened the door and rushed outside.
She just took the melon and made some incense with the eggplant. When she opened the door again, she was severely scolded by the melon peel. "Huh~" After piling it at the garbage collection area, she exhaled deeply and turned around to leave.
But because she was too hasty, she bumped into a young man head-on, knocking him against the wall, causing him to groan.
"Are you okay?" Zhu Fu asked anxiously, "Please don't let me pay for it! I can't afford it!"
"It's okay." The young man's voice was a little muffled and a little tired.
Zhu Fu became uncertain, "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay, you can go." The young man squatted down against the wall.
Zhu Fu took two steps and felt something was wrong. She had just thrown a bag of smelly garbage here. Why did she stop here? Didn't she have anywhere else to go?
"How about..." Zhu Fu turned around, "Come to my shop and sit down. I'll take this as my apology to you."
The young man in the hat raised his head, took a few glances in the dim light of dusk, and confirmed something. "Okay, thank you."
Zhu Fu inexplicably picked up a person while throwing away garbage.
The young man walked into the store, sat down at the seat Zhu Fu pointed out, and looked around. "There are not enough things."
"It's not officially open yet~" Zhu Fu closed the door again and brought him a glass of water. "It's getting late now. Why don't you go home if you're so tired?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then took off his hat, revealing his overly superior features, "I'm here to go to school."
Zhu Fu took another close look at him and judged his age. "University? That's a good thing! How many betas can go there?"
The young man looked a little stiff for a moment, and Zhu Fu also realized something was wrong. Her sense of smell recovered from the shock, and now there seemed to be a very faint smell of cold green plum in the air.
"You - Alpha or Omega?!" Zhu Fu's face changed instantly. Don't die in my house!
"A, it's Alpha!" the young man said with a little excitement.
Zhu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Alpha is better than Omega. If she were Omega, she would be afraid of being involved in some runaway wife plot. After all, she looked quite capable of being the protagonist. She was tall and thin, with delicate features. Isn't that the best?
"You look pretty kind then."
"We Alphas are not all so arrogant." The young man's eyes fell on the table, a little absent-minded.
"It should be class time today, why are you here?" There is no university near this neighborhood. She had checked before and found that everyone needs to take a taxi to get there. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any college students here.
The young man hesitated for a moment, then met Zhu Fu's curious eyes and told the truth, "I came out to work."
Zhu Fu didn’t know what to say. It seemed that for a family with poor financial conditions, even if an Alpha was born, the outlook was still not optimistic!
"Then you are really hard-working."
Zhu Fu gave him some food and a blanket and packed the boxes at the counter. Although the store was not open, the sales of oranges were still good, so she was able to take advantage of the opportunity and earn some income.
The young man huddled in his chair, watching her movements in a daze. A beta who runs a perfume shop? Maybe she could have a perfume like pheromone?
When Zhu Fu finished packing, she found that the young man had fallen asleep. She had no choice but to leave a message and tiptoe upstairs. There was an empty shop downstairs anyway and there was nothing to take. If Alpha really wanted to deal with her, she could not do anything. She just locked the door on the second floor.
……
The next day, when Zhu Fu went downstairs, the store was empty as expected, but the cups and plates were clean, the blankets were neatly folded, and the chairs were put back in their proper places.
Zhu Fu was happy but also a little confused. This behavior was really unlike the Alpha she had heard of. Was it her stereotype?
After sending the goods ordered by the reviewer, Zhu Fu began to mix the cedar scent. Compared with the niche limitations of orange, cedar should have a wider audience. This is the current flagship product of the fragrance shop, and she has high hopes for it.
But until she completed the certification and changed the business, the cedar flavor did not perform to the level it should have. Occasionally, customers came into the store and tried to buy a little because of the bright orange color, without any interest in cedar.
【Ding--】
Zhu Fu opened the message skillfully. This message came from the examiner that day.
[Would you like to reconsider this? I have submitted your work to that old friend, and he really appreciates your ideas.]
consider?
Of course she didn't consider it. How could she explain her inexplicable knowledge of the incense industry to a person with real skills? Moreover, the master-apprentice teaching was too slow and did not meet her expectations. She didn't really need a teacher to teach her.
As for the benefits of connections? That's even harder to say. This person is only thinking about raising a talented apprentice to compete with his opponent. If she really accepts her teacher, I'm afraid her connections won't be used, and she will be enemies first. With her current capital, it's obvious that she will be taken advantage of.
So she might as well do it herself. At least it was within her means and she didn't have to pay rent. She could earn as much as she wanted without the risk of getting involved in disputes.
It's been a few days since Wang Charlie apologized, so there should be some action, right? No one is curious about her?
Zhu Fu opened the Star Network unfamiliarly and found Wang Charlie's personal account through her own forwarding records.
This was quite interesting, with many people criticizing Wang Charlie and some even curious about her, the person who made Wang Charlie lose face. However, Wang Charlie cleared up all his answers, probably because he didn't want to let her take advantage of him.
"Can you stop me from taking advantage of you?"
