"The scent of this perfume is very special. It has a hint of mint, and I can't smell any other floral or herbal scents, but there is definitely mint in it, which is why it has an invigorating effect."

"Mr. Xiao, if the other party could join our team, we're confident we could create a perfume even more powerful than this one!"

A glint of greed appeared in the perfumer's eyes. He really wanted the formula for this perfume, but saying it out loud wouldn't be befit his status as a master perfumer, so he decided to start by getting the person involved.

Once we've detained the people, how far away can the formula be?

With this formula, they will be able to integrate and apply it to create even more captivating perfumes!

When that time comes, the International Perfumers Association will certainly invite them back with great ceremony!

Xiao Jingming understood what he meant, and a calculating glint flashed in his eyes behind his glasses.

He doesn't care what methods they use; all he wants is to seize the market as quickly as possible and suppress the Gu and Qin families!

"Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Jingming snapped out of his daze and replied, "Of course."

"Then we'll wait for Mr. Xiao's good news."

"Please find that person as soon as possible, Mr. Xiao. After all, this is a golden opportunity that won't come again!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, 'Qingcheng' has already been shortlisted. Once the competition is over, 'Qingcheng' will dominate the entire Chinese perfume market!"

After each of the three perfumers said a sentence, they swaggered out of the study.

Xiao Jingming sneered.

He had been following the perfume competition closely and knew two days ago that "Alluring Beauty" had been shortlisted. But these three bastards, living in the Xiao family's residence, didn't even bother to tell him. It was clear they didn't respect him. These kinds of people could betray him at any time for huge profits.

He had to find a way to make them work for him wholeheartedly!

Xiao Jingming pushed up his glasses, his face clearly saying, "Every man for himself!"

He took out his phone and called Quan Tianrui.

The call connected, and Xiao Jingming instructed, "Cousin, come back right away."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Before Quan Tianrui on the other end of the phone could even speak, the call ended, as if he were something that could be summoned and dismissed at will.

Quan Tianrui's face was dark and gloomy.

However, he is currently living in the Xiao family's residence and needs their protection, so he has no choice but to return.

Quan Tianrui put away the introductory hypnosis book, put on his coat, and hurriedly returned to the Xiao family.

Upon returning to the Xiao family home, Quan Tianrui learned that the Qin Group had launched the "Enchanting Color" perfume, the purpose of which was self-evident.

"Does my cousin believe what those three foreigners said?"

"They weren't lying."

Xiao Jingming certainly didn't believe their one-sided story, but he watched the surveillance footage before Quan Tianrui returned.

The three perfumers rarely went out, and they would tell Xiao Yu what they needed, even the women.

Quan Tianrui also thought of the countless hidden surveillance cameras in the Xiao family, and his brows furrowed for a moment before relaxing.

"My older cousin asked me to come back. Does he want me to do something?"

"I need you to find out who the perfumer who created 'Enchanting Color' is."

Xiao Jingming spoke casually, as if he were discussing the weather today.

But violating trade secrets can land you in jail!

Quan Tianrui lowered his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Jingming couldn't see his eyes, but he already understood. He said calmly, "Cousin, you don't want to? Then forget it. Go out and chat with Zhongming. I'll come find you after I've finished my work."

Quan Tianrui suddenly looked up: "I'm willing to go! I'm willing to do anything for the good of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Jingming feigned a deeply moved expression and thanked him, saying, "Cousin, thank you so much for your help. Don't worry, as long as you find out who the suspect is, I won't let anything happen to you!"

Quan Tianrui put on an acting show with him: "This is what I should do, and my cousin has been helping me all along!"

The next second, Quan Tianrui asked, puzzled, "Why would the Qin family, which is doing so well, be interested in the perfume market?"

Mentioning the Qin family immediately brings to mind Qin Yiheng.

Xiao Jingming said coldly, "He's not interested in perfume."

First, they used the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," and then they shifted the blame eastward. Qin Yiheng is trying to divert everyone's attention!

Everyone's talking about the perfumes "Alluring Beauty" and "Charming Colors" these days, but who remembers Jiang Yu's death?

Xiao Jingming snorted coldly!

Since Qin Yiheng dared to do the first thing, don't blame him for doing the fifteenth!

???

In a coffee shop in the city center.

Yan Yirou and her two girlfriends enjoyed afternoon tea and relaxed.

She stayed at the temple for five days and felt that she was becoming more and more in tune with her body. Going home became an impossible dream, so she could only try to be happy.

Yan Yirou frowned, pondering how to live a better life.

"A lot has happened recently, have you heard? Yu Wan is in the hospital."

"Yu Wan is hospitalized?" Yan Yirou asked in surprise.

"Yes, I also heard that she jumped out of the car herself and was saved by the head of the Ji family."

The chestnut-haired girl showed her her phone and continued, "In this group, Li Mujiu and the others are saying that Yu Wan did it on purpose, that she's willing to risk her life just to become the wife of the Ji family head."

"Uh, so Yu Wan has become Rou Rou's aunt?" Another long-haired girl was stunned.

Yan Yirou's eyes flickered.

If Yu Wan chose to attach herself to Ji Mingjing in order to save her entire family, then she can only say that she made a wrong move.

Ji Mingjing's heart is tainted; the hearts of those who engage in scheming and intrigue are all tainted.

Yan Yirou sympathized with Yu Wan, wondering if her decision was related to her reminder. If so, there was nothing she could do.

She couldn't possibly get involved with that madman Ji Mingjing for Yu Wan's sake!

Ji Mingjing only had eyes for one woman named Rongrong; to him, other women were no different from men.

The phrase "Northern Gu and Southern Ji" refers to Gu Yunzhen from the Imperial City and Mingjing from Xizhou City.

These two men are equally matched, especially when it comes to spoiling their wives.

Thinking of this, Yan Yirou looked at them seriously: "Don't talk nonsense. The man I went on a blind date with that night was Ji Xianli, not Ji Xianreng. Ji Xianli is already engaged, so it's even more impossible for me and him."

She didn't want to get involved in the complicated emotional entanglements of the Ji family; it was more comfortable for her to just watch from the sidelines.

"How could they be so unreasonable, changing the person they were supposed to meet for a blind date?"

The two sisters felt indignant on behalf of Yan Yirou.

Yan Yirou remained calm: "What can we do? They're the Ji family!"

Suddenly, someone in the coffee shop shouted excitedly, "I won! Hahaha, I actually won the 'Enchanting Color' perfume!!!"

For a moment, no one in the coffee shop looked at her.

Yan Yirou was utterly shocked: "'Enchanting Colors' perfume?"

The chestnut-haired girl was stunned: "Rou Rou, you don't even know about the 'Charm' perfume launched by the Qin Group?"

"Qin Group?"

Yan Yirou was startled again, but when she thought about Shangguan Wu's background, she felt there was nothing surprising about it.

She shook her head: "I went to Qingyun Temple with my mom. The signal was bad there, so I haven't touched my phone or watched TV for five days. Did any of you manage to buy that 'Charming Color' perfume?"
