After all, who wouldn’t be angry after what happened this morning?
But the genuine confusion and lostness in Qiao Qing’s eyes made Xu Lu uncertain.
This woman actually didn’t know who she was?
They just met that morning though?
What kind of twist was this?
Just as she wondered, Qiao Qing answered her question, “Sorry, I’m blind to faces.”
Xu Lu, “…”
After some time, she finally had her realization. No wonder!
“It’s okay if you have facial blindness.” Xu Lu said, “We have lots of opportunities in the future to spend time together. I’ll just appear more and more in front of you. I’m the perfumer from this morning.”
When she said the last part, her face looked a little awkward.
Qiao Qing did not turn cold as she expected. Instead, Qiao Qing merely nodded like usual and prepared to leave.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait!” Xu Lu stopped her again, “Let me give you a hint. That Spiritual Cotton Flower cannot be used to make perfume. Just because of its good looks, many people have tried to use it in their mixture but have all failed.”
“Its natural scent is very potent and almost sticky. It’s almost impossible to dilute. So it’s actually easier to get rid of it completely. But if that’s done, then it’s no different than water.”
Qiao Qing said, “I know what I’m doing.”
Xu Lu wondered why this kid just refuses to listen.
As she thought that, she continued, “I also don’t know what kind of deal you’re making with CEO Gong. But it looks to me he’s making it hard for you by asking you to make the perfume for this competition. Honestly, you don’t need to listen to him like such a good kid. I can help you make one.”
“Though my perfumes can’t compete against Goddess Pingting’s, I can get a high ranking for sure. That will make sure our brand gets a shoutout from the competition and increase overall sales. After all, I’m the lead perfumer of the Gong Corporation. I’ll let you put your name on the finished product. What do you say?”
Qiao Qing’s lips curled up, “I understand you’re trying to be nice. But, I’m going to place first in the fragrance competition. I’m not going to settle for anything less. So, I will get there myself.”
She then left.
Xu Lu almost went bald from stress. Why didn’t that kid listen?! How will she place number one with skills that low? She had no idea where Qiao Qing’s confidence came from.
The moment Qiao Qing left the company, she found Jun Yexuan leaned against his parked black Bugatti as well as a giant bouquet of roses.
He looked like a rich playboy.
A lot of people have gathered at this point as they tried to witness the show.
Qiao Qing asked at the sight of this, “What are you doing?”
Jun Yexuan gave her the roses, “I’m picking up my girlfriend from work.”
“WOW!”
“Oh my god! He’s saying the most common thing but it sounds so romantic!”
“Wow, I don’t need to eat tonight anymore after being fed that line.”
“…”
The cheers made Qiao Qing look unnatural.
She took the flowers and entered the car.
When she saw that Qi Yusen in the back, she felt even more awkward, “Brother.”
Qi Yusen nodded, “How was today.”
Qiao Qing said, “Not bad. I gathered all the ingredients I want to use. I will start mixing tomorrow.”
Qi Yusen patted her head, “Don’t stress yourself out too much. I’m already working on finding the best perfumer there is. Even if you don’t get a place, I will be able to find another way to find my uncle.”
Qiao Qing, “… Brother, you can try to believe in me.”
