"The choice is made by the butterflies; no one can say it's fake."

"Yes, the championship will only belong to us!"

The two perfumers looked at each other and smiled.

but!

When the number of butterflies was announced, Shangguan Wu came in first place with 35 butterflies.

Caroline had 22 butterflies, 3 fewer than the second-place finisher, placing her third.

Zhuang Qian had 5 butterflies, ranking last.

Caroline's face remained expressionless upon seeing the results, but she was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

How is that possible!

Shangguan Wu was the last contestant to enter the finals, and as a result, he won first place in the first round of the finals.

Was she hiding her true abilities?

But who would hold back in an international competition? Is Shangguan Wu crazy?

Caroline turned her head to look at Shangguan Wu and was shocked to find her sitting on the ground.

Is she really from a prestigious family? How come she doesn't know any manners at all?

Or is it that her physical strength is failing?

The teacher said that Shangguan Wu is pregnant and cannot hold on for too long, otherwise there is a risk of miscarriage.

If she memorizes the five perfume formulas and mixes them one by one during the competition, the championship will be hers!

Caroline believed her teacher wouldn't lie to her, and a smile appeared on her face.

After the first round of competition, the comments section suddenly became more harmonious.

I believe in Shangguan Wu; she will definitely be the champion.

I believe in Zhuang Qian; he will definitely be the champion.

From now on, I will only support domestically produced perfumes.

The devout woman is willing to be a vegetarian for a month, hoping only that Shangguan Wu will win the championship.

[Caroline is actually smiling at Shangguan Wu?!]

She was probably congratulating Shangguan Wu.

[We may have all misunderstood Caroline before; she probably didn't know the Perfumery was up to something.]

Caroline also has the makings of a champion.

Because of that smile, many people in the live stream changed their impression of Caroline.

The shot only lasted two seconds, so it's normal that they didn't see the malice in Caroline's eyes.

But Shangguan Wu was facing Caroline directly, so she saw it.

Zhuang Qian saw it too and coughed lightly twice.

Shangguan Wu looked up and met his gaze, then felt relieved.

This is on the field, and bodyguards aren't around. If Caroline goes berserk and hurts someone, she might not be able to handle it.

It's different if there's potential for a dealer to profit.

Shangguan Wu thought of Zhuang Qian's identity. Fortunately, he hadn't been brainwashed by the Divine Envoy Organization and hadn't become a tool, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Shangguan Wu lowered her head, touched her slightly protruding belly, and said, "Baby, be good. After Mommy wins a championship for your daddy, we'll go home, okay?"

The ten-minute break is actually time for staff to clean up the venue.

When the second round of the competition began, there was no scent of perfume in the air, and the residue of the used fragrance had been removed, leaving the tables of the five contestants spotless.

During her break, Shangguan Wu had already decided which perfume to create and even mentally rehearsed it three times.

She mixed the perfume with steady and quick movements.

For her, the competition format seemed tailor-made, because she had no shortage of perfume formulas.

It would be even more ingenious to determine the winner based on the number of butterflies!

Although the judges are principled and are big names in the perfumery industry, it's hard to say whether the president of the perfumery association will abuse his power for personal gain.

So if you want to win, you need to know yourself and your enemy!

If the Perfumery Association knew Shangguan Wu well enough, they wouldn't have changed the competition rules so recklessly.

Will Shangguan Wu remind them?

Of course not.

They only have themselves to blame for their petty minds; they brought this upon themselves and deserve to suffer the consequences!

After concocting the perfume, Shangguan Wu sat on the ground to recover her strength.

This time, Caroline wasn't as surprised. She glanced at it once and then looked away, focusing on blending perfumes.

She only needs to win the first place in the last three rounds to be the champion!

Without a doubt, Shangguan Wu also won first place in the second round.

Second place went to Caroline.

Zhuang Qian ranked fourth.

At this moment, in the center of the audience, Da Bao danced with joy: "Wow~ Auntie is so amazing!"

Shangguan Lin held Qin Xiaoxian's hand tightly: "Why is Wu Bao sitting on the ground again? Is your body unable to take it?"

Qin Xiaoxian was also very nervous, her eyes fixed on her youngest daughter, fearing something might happen.

Ji Moyan turned her head to look at them and said with a smile, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry, these are all Wu Bao's strategies."

Shangguan Lin was taken aback: "Strategy?"

Ji Moyan smiled mysteriously and turned to look at her future daughter-in-law: "Rou Rou, you tell her."

Yan Yirou didn't expect to be mentioned, but she didn't hesitate and explained, "Uncle, Aunt, if Wu Bao shows weakness appropriately, it will give people the illusion that she can't hold on anymore, making the people from the Perfumery Association and Caroline think that they will win, so they won't cause any other trouble and delay the competition."

Even if you can sit and rest for a few minutes, you can't let your guard down, so the sooner the match ends, the better for Shangguan Wu.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lin understood.

"My little Wubao is amazing, she even turned a competition into a spy thriller, hahaha..."

Qin Xiaoxian patted him on the shoulder and reminded him, "Keep your voice down."

Shangguan Lin's laughter stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, Yan Yirou pursed her lips and suppressed her laughter.

Ten minutes later, the third round of the competition began.

Shangguan Wu slowed down.

Caroline glanced at it quickly, chuckling inwardly, "Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Midway through, Shangguan Wu stopped twice, each time sitting on the ground to rest for five minutes before continuing to mix the perfume.

[Sigh, Shangguan Wu's stamina isn't keeping up. If only she weren't pregnant.]

I think Shangguan Wu is handling things with ease.
