The room fell silent.
After a long time, Renault closed his eyes, then opened them again, "Okay."
Lina smiled and lightly stroked his tattoo with her fingertips, as if signing some kind of contract.
"remember……"
She declared in his ear: "From this moment on, your life and death will be under my control."
…
At nine o'clock the next morning, there was a crowd of people across Shengshi Mingdu Street.
“Crack—”
The moment the red silk was cut, the cannons roared and golden sequins flew all over the sky.
"Fantasy Mirror Fragrance" officially opened today.
The inverted gentian flower logo on the sign faces the upright gentian flower of "Xiangyue Tiancheng" across the street, like a declaration of war in the mirror world.
The interior decoration of the store is mainly dark Gothic style.
The black marble floor is inlaid with golden thorn patterns, which echo the dark purple crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
The central booth is shaped like a seven-pointed star, with each corner showcasing a perfume collection:
[Unsent Letter], the packaging box is designed to look like a burnt envelope, and a faint smell of paper ash wafts out the moment the box is opened.
[Kiss of Thorns], the golden thorns on the bottle will change color with body temperature, and the trial nozzle is made in the shape of rose thorns.
[Withered Oath], the booth is decorated with a device of rapidly withering flowers, which are automatically replaced every half hour.
[Expired Fairy Tale], the lining of the packaging box is a replica of moldy fairy tale pages, and the bottle cap is inlaid with a miniature hourglass.
[Masquerade], the trial area is equipped with a silver mask. After spraying perfume, blood-colored lines will appear on the mask.
【Fading Heartbeat】, the bottle gradually becomes transparent over time, and the accompanying heartbeat monitor shows the duration of the fragrance.
[The Betrayer], the packaging box has a mechanism lock, and when it is opened, it will make a sound of glass breaking.
Each booth is equipped with a sensing device. When a customer picks up a fragrance sampler bottle, a hidden speaker will play the corresponding ambient sound.
The sound of letters being opened, thorns growing, and petals falling.
Each perfume is precisely targeted at the best-selling "Seven Days Dream" series of "Xiangyue Tiancheng".
Especially the "Seven Days Dream" with gentian flowers specially formulated for Gu Youran.
When Vivian appeared in a red dress and high heels, the number of live viewers instantly exceeded one million.
The big screen simultaneously displayed her official profile:
Ambassador: Vivian Dekker
[The only heir of the Deke family in Country Y]
The barrage exploded instantly:
"Oh my god! Is it Lenna's twin sister?"
"Look at the name of the perfume...it's a stark reference to Mrs. Shi and President Shi's love story!"
"That 'Withered Oath' smells like it's hinting at something..."
The hot search list is rapidly refreshed:
#Fragrance of magic mirror, substitute literature#
#VivianLennaLooksBy
#Seven Days Festival VS Seven Days Dream#
So more people flocked to the "Fantasy Mirror Fragrance" store.
…
At the same time, in the office of the president of Shi Group.
Shi Heng watched the promotional video series of "Seven Days Festival" promoted by Bai Xiangning.
Seven fragrances, seven days of style.
He was too lazy to even finish reading this imitation marketing routine.
Shi Heng called Lu Yichen and said, "Inform the marketing department. Only put eight words on the homepage of the official website: 'Eternal Fragrance, first released today.'"
After hanging up the phone, his eyes fell on the crystal clear perfume bottle.
On the inside of the bottle, there is a sentence printed by Gu Youran:
[Don't believe the beautiful words in the mirror. The real goodness can last a lifetime.]
Shi Heng's fingertips gently stroked the bottle.
In this business war, he wants to break out of the siege in the purest way.
No fancy marketing, no exaggerated packaging, just this bottle of "eternity" that is the result of much hard work.
Just like the true meaning of that line of words:
The most touching eternity is never the illusion of flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, but the real sincerity hidden in the fragrance.
…
On the other side, Kangrui Hospital clinic.
Gu Youran had just sent a patient away.
Zhuoran came over with a notebook in his hand and lowered his voice: "Doctor Gu, 'Fantasy Mirror Fragrance' opens today."
Chen Xiaoyu took over the conversation, "Yes, there are rumors online that they are provoking Xiangyue Tiancheng."
Gu Youran didn't stop moving her hands. "Other people's business is theirs. Let's get the patient's prescription ready first."
Her voice was very soft, but it silenced Zhuoran and Chen Xiaoyu instantly.
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon, North Suburbs Film Studio.
Gu Youran had just finished filming a crying scene, and the corners of her eyes were still red.
She took the script and walked towards director Cen Su and screenwriter Yun Ye.
"I want to move the release date up to March 10th. Because... my wedding is on March 11th."
Director Cen Su's brows immediately furrowed. "The original three-month shooting schedule was compressed into one month? This is too rushed. Your body..."
“I can live on the set.”
"No." A low voice came from behind.
Shi Heng walked a few steps to her side, and gently covered her cold fingers with his warm palm. "Mrs. Shi, please go home on time."
Gu Youran was about to explain when Shi Heng interrupted her.
"Let me solve this problem."
He took out a check and handed it to the director, "I will cover all overtime expenses, including triple wages for the crew and all-day meals."
"Also, I have one condition."
"We can only add two scenes a day, and we have to ensure she gets six hours of sleep."
Yunye suddenly laughed out loud and exchanged glances with Cen Su.
"In fact, we have already adjusted the shooting plan,"
She waved the newly arranged notice board and said, "I'm just worried that one of the brides-to-be will try too hard."
Gu Youran looked at the newly arranged notice list and found that the scenes of her adoptive parents and herself as a child in the play were all scheduled for weekends.
She really wanted to see the little girl who played her younger self with her own eyes.
I want to silently witness the happy times of my childhood with my adoptive parents from behind the camera.
Shi Heng understood her thoughts immediately. "I'll come with you this weekend. You can braid the little girl's pigtails like you did when she was little, and I'll be responsible for... learning how to be a qualified father."
Gu Youran's eyes were red.
Suddenly I felt that this seemingly hasty schedule adjustment had actually become the most beautiful arrangement under his gentle protection.
She looked at Shi Heng, tears still hanging on her eyelashes.
Shi Heng gently wiped the tear marks at the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and his voice softened.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll be on set as your personal assistant. I'll serve you water, bring you meals, and remind you to take breaks on time."
Gu Youran looked at his serious expression.
I suddenly remembered what he said before he left this morning: "'Eternal Fragrance' is on the market today, but what I care more about is giving you an eternal promise."
She quietly hooked her pinky finger around his, "Then you have to promise not to interfere with my performance."
Shi Heng completely wrapped her hand in his palm and said, "I am only responsible for being the first one to hug you when the call is cut."
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Renault was in the conference room, listening to the report from the department head.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up and a text message popped up:
[First date of the week, see you at the Emperor Club at 6 o'clock. —Lina]
