His gaze was sharp, and a powerful aura emanated from him, enveloping Adrian and his companions: "Have you released all the certificates for [Alluring Beauty] that you developed? How long did it take you to develop [Alluring Beauty]? Are you sure your development team consisted of only the three of you from beginning to end?"

The three rhetorical questions left Adrian and his two companions speechless.

They spent nearly three years developing the product, but regardless of whether the perfumer from Huaguo said it was true or false, they couldn't reveal the timeframe. Did they want to tell all the people of Huaguo that three grown men were no match for a young girl?

Moreover, the development of the [Allure] perfume began when they were members of the International Perfumery Association.

These things must never be said!

After a long pause, Verres finally spoke: "We are perfumers, we only focus on developing perfumes, other things will be handled by others."

Emmett chimed in, “That’s right! A person’s energy is limited. If you love perfumery, you should do it to the best of your ability. How can you show off when you only know the basics? A true master would never waste a single bit of energy on useless trifles!”

Adrian immediately sensed that things were about to end.

really!

Qin Yiheng stared coldly at Emmett: "Who do you think you are? Just because you can't do it yourself, you assume that no one else can either. If everyone were as useless as you, the world would have been finished long ago!"

Hearing her older cousin's outburst, Shangguan Wu's eyes revealed a gentle, warm smile.

It feels so good to be protected.

But when she thought about the current state of traditional Chinese medicine, the smile in her eyes vanished in an instant.

While these three individuals do not represent all foreigners, it is a fact that they look down on the perfumery techniques of Huaguo and on traditional Chinese medicine.

This realization made Shangguan Wu purse her lips tightly.

"you--"

Emmat was furious and felt extremely humiliated, but after staring at the Qin Group president for less than a minute, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his head, and he was so stiff that he couldn't move or speak.

Gradually, Emmat was covered in sweat.

Seeing this, Adrian stepped forward and stood in front of him, blocking their eye contact: "President Qin, Matt didn't mean that. We hope that the perfumery industry in Huaguo will be injected with fresh blood, and we sincerely wish that Chinese perfumers can enter the International Perfume Association."

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow. Why did those words sound so sarcastic?

Her eyes darted around, and in the blink of an eye, she feigned a self-reproachful expression: "So the three renowned perfumers weren't questioning my lack of knowledge in perfumery, but rather came to offer their blessings to President Qin? It's all my fault for so carelessly misunderstanding the intentions of these three masters. I'm truly sorry, and I hope you won't hold a grudge against a mere woman like me."

Qin Yiheng's handsome face stiffened slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes as he slowly turned his head to look at his little cousin.

Shangguan Wu met his gaze for a moment, then looked away.

Emma: "..."

I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Verrees frowned and said in a stiff tone, "We are not perfume masters."

Shangguan Wu smiled slightly: "Then you must be a very skilled perfumer. Your [Alluring Beauty] perfume is very popular!"

Although "one cannot hit a smiling face" is an old saying in Huaguo, Shangguan Wu was so beautiful that her smile was like flowers blooming in the room, and Verres could no longer keep a straight face.

Only Adrian's eyes darkened, knowing that the purpose of this trip would not be achieved, and that continuing would only make him a laughing stock.

He believes he has encountered many different kinds of people, and most people would show some discomfort or displeasure under his scrutinizing gaze.

However, the calm and composed demeanor of the perfumer from Huaguo before him was like the composure that comes with the vicissitudes of life. Despite her young age, she looked as innocent and carefree as his daughter Tina, who was far away in China.

The thought that this live stream not only yielded no results but also served as free advertising for others and benefited them all made Adrian feel dizzy.

What a loss! What a huge loss!

The chat in the live stream originally looked like this.

Just because you can't do it yourself doesn't mean others can't either. That's like being a frog in a well, unable to see how vast the world is.

This kind of jealousy is so dark; I'll never buy [倾城] again.

Get out of Huaguo!

But after Shangguan Wu spoke, the comments section instantly changed to this.

Holy crap! A strong smell of green tea hits me right in the face!

[Follow the path of green tea, leaving green tea with nowhere to go]

[Your clothes are so pretty! Unlike me, I dress so conservatively, looking dowdy and not good-looking at all.]

[Brother, it's okay, don't worry about me. Go and comfort my sister, or she'll get angry with you again.]

[Your girlfriend hitting you is terrifying! Unlike me, I'd only feel sorry for Geigei.]

The commenters are all incredibly talented!

I'm so scared by what you're doing!

The chat in the live stream was completely overused and manipulated.

Gu Yunzhen found it too painful to watch, so she simply turned off the comments and focused her deep gaze on Shangguan Wu's face on the screen.

Having regained his composure, Adrian extended his right hand and asked politely, "May I ask your name, Miss? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Shangguan Wu smiled faintly: "Hehe, I have no interest in getting to know someone who slanders me."

Adrian's gentlemanly smile almost cracked.

Emmett stepped forward excitedly, but before she could speak, Adrian grabbed her arm.

At the same time, Adrian apologized to Shangguan Wu: "I'm sorry, beautiful lady, we misunderstood you. We hope you can forgive us."
