All the other perfumers looked over in jealousy.
“She’s the internationally recognized perfumer after all. Even these picky judges are giving her good feedback.”
“Yeah, none of the other perfumers can got a single praise from those judges. The famous perfumer, Selina from country E, merely got a nod.”
“I think it’ll be Ms. Xu who wins this year’s competition again. That girl’s amazing!”
“The key thing is that she’s young and beautiful. The other professional perfumes are near 30, but Ms. Xu is only 25 this year!”
Listening to everyone’s praises, Xu Pingting couldn’t stop smiling.
She couldn’t help but peek at Qiao Qing and the handsome men around her.
She sure wanted to see whether or not those men could wipe their eyes clean and see who was truly capable. After all, Qiao Qing was going to embarrass herself soon.
Xu Pingting wasn’t the only person who was proud. Her entire team now beamed with confidence and stood up straighter.
It was like they were personally complimented.
After the judges went through all the perfumes from this group, they marked their scores on their books.
The MC then announced, “Number 37, Gong Corporation team. Please come up and display your products to the judges.”
Jun Yexuan patted Qiao Qing’s head, “Go on, don’t be nervous.”
Qiao Qing, “…”
After the rest of the perfumers joined Qiao Qing, Qiao Qing placed her perfume in front of a judge, then stepped back.
This judge was the one who just praised Xu Pingting.
Perhaps because Xu Pingting set a high standard, this judge took his sweet time when handling Qiao Qing’s perfume. He acted like he wanted to get off work early and go home.
But after he twisted off the lid and sniffed it, his lazy expression disappeared.
Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen exchanged glances in confusion.
This judge then turned serious and closed his eyes as he sniffed this perfume.
In this process, his eyelashes quivered and his entire body twitched. In the end, he widened his eyes in shock.
Nobody understood his reaction. A perfumer from the Xu team chuckled, “The judge must’ve smelled the Spiritual Cotton Flower and is in shock that someone could do something as weird as using it for perfume.”
Her words made the others giggle.
“Did I hear her right? Spiritual Cotton Flower? Someone used it in her perfume?”
“She must be new. She had the audacity to compete when she’s so amateur? She sure is courageous.”
“I feel bad for the judge. If I was the judge and smelled that perfume, I’d react more aggressively than him.”
“…”
The other judges were in shock as well. They felt very lucky that they weren’t the ones smelling Qiao Qing’s perfume.
Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen’s handsome faces tightened as they heard the criticism.
The Gong Corporation’s perfumers were both sullen and happy.
They were happy because they got their job back. They were sullen because Qiao Qing embarrassed herself and the entire Corporation was embarrassed as a result.
They could only pray that the judge won’t curse at her and drag down the entire team.
Just then, the judge finally recovered from his shock.
