The Wife I Picked Up Is Too Fierce

Moreover, the host had also said that the perfume she made was recognized by even the two top-notch appraisers. Without waiting for the finals, Feng Jianing had already determined that Feng Qing’s journey for this competition would basically end here.

“Now, let me give a warm applause. Let’s welcome the first contestant, Miss Feng Jianing, to the stage to receive the certificate of the perfume maker issued by the International Fragrance Alliance.” The host walked through the process.

Amidst the grand music, Feng Jianing walked towards the podium elegantly. According to the convention in the past years, the contestants who obtained the first place in the elimination round would obtain the high-level perfume maker certification issued by the International Fragrance Alliance. After the competition, they would also obtain the promotion of the Fragrance Alliance.

Looking at the certificate in her hand, Feng Jianing was so excited that her eyes were red. For this moment, she had stayed up so many late nights. Before those things happened, she was still the spokesperson for this year’s International Fragrance Competition. Later on, she was defamed by the netizens to the number one trending topic. The organizers considered the image of the competition and could only cancel her endorsement.

Now that she had obtained this honor, it meant that she had obtained the approval of the International Fragrance Alliance and the organizers. It was considered a preliminary redemption of her image and dignity. This was too important to her.

The host said, “Next, Miss Feng Jianing, please share your feelings with everyone and the two perfumes that you’ve just made. Why did these two perfumes obtain the approval of the judges? What’s so good about them?”

Feng Jianing came back to her senses and took a deep breath. She said into the microphone, “Firstly, I thank the organizers for their affirmation of me. This certificate is very important to me. It will give me more courage and determination to continue down the path of the perfume maker. Thank you again!”

With that, she hugged the certificate and bowed deeply to the entire audience. Then, she stood up and continued, “The first match was a free proposition. It tested the contestants’ improvisation. At that time, I was very relaxed. I could feel the audience’s enthusiasm for making perfume, so I burned turpentine to make it the base fragrance. Then, I added sandalwood essence, orange essence, and jasmine oil at suitable temperatures. Under the effects of acetone and refined water, I completed the first perfume. The name I gave it was ‘Passion’. The person who used this perfume would be like bathing in the sunlight or walking on the beach in the summer. There was infinite vitality in the freshness. As for the second perfume I made…”

Listening to Feng Jianing speak frankly and confidently, Feng Qing, who was playing games, smiled with a hint of mockery. Without needing to smell the perfume Feng Jianing had concocted, just by listening to the spices, condiments, and some equipment she used, she already knew that Feng Jianing’s ‘Passion’ was the formula that she had stolen from her when she was learning how to mix perfume from her early years with Feng Yiru. It was a very elegant and mature perfume that was completely incompatible with the fresh and energetic Feng Jianing had said. Moreover, this name was really too… old-fashioned!

In the viewing area, Charles and Angus looked at each other in surprise. Feng Jianing’s introduction reminded them of a very famous perfume introduction. The perfume was called Moon Beauty, and it was the work of YLL’s early perfume. They were even lucky to have smelled it at an exhibition. The fragrance was engraved in their hearts.

They had also smelled Feng Jianing’s ‘Passion’ just now. There was indeed a tone similar to ‘Moonlight Beauty’ in it, so they were basically certain that Feng Jianing was Master YLL!

Feng Jianing didn’t know that it was precisely because she had completely copied the formula Feng Qing developed when she was young that Charles and the others saw the early shadow of YLL in it and misunderstood her identity.

But Angus shook his head again. “No, I don’t think she’s YLL, because YLL would never mistake the perfume she concocted. What do you think?”

Charles nodded as well. “That’s right. It’s impossible for a nine-star perfume maker to not know the perfume she made.. If I’m not wrong, she should have plagiarized YLL’s work.”
