Chapter 24 [1 update]

Wen Yanyan looked at her tremblingly, with panic, helplessness and helpless hatred in her eyes.

Why does she keep targeting herself?

Is it fun to make her embarrassed again and again?

Wen Yanyan bit her dry lips and said in a trembling voice, "Ms. Shen, how have I ever offended you? Why are you pressing me so hard?"

Shen Yuntang was surprised. She said, "You want me to list the ways you have offended me so much? Miss Wen, being a masochist is not a popular personality."

Just as Wen Yanyan was about to open her mouth, she heard Shen Yuntang say, "You were the last to arrive at my house for the first party. You ate a cookie and spilled the crumbs all over my skirt. When someone asked me what flowers I planted, you answered incorrectly. You said you wanted to apologize to me but you gave me the perfume first. You turned my party into your own trade show and ran around my house. Do you think you haven't offended me in any way?"

Wen Yanyan's words were choked back again.

Shen Yuntang smiled, "Of course, I won't talk about how I waited in front of Huo Yuyan's company and tried to assassinate me at the airport. I want to ask you where you got the right attitude to think that you are the most innocent little white lotus?"

Wen Yanyan looked at her numbly as if she had been struck by lightning. She wanted to defend herself but couldn't utter a word.

It turns out... this is how I am in the eyes of others.

It turns out that some people don't like what she does.

She trembled and looked around in panic. Those people of all kinds did not understand Chinese and had no idea what Shen Yuntang was saying to her. Because Shen Yuntang's voice was so soft, they even thought she was communicating with her in a friendly manner.

Wen Yanyan was isolated and helpless.

For the first time, she felt that her world was torn apart. Someone came in from outside and slapped her hard in the face, telling her that everything she had done before was wrong and that she was an annoying and bad person who didn't even know it.

She still couldn't believe it, but Shen Yuntang's aura made her unable to help but believe it.

Her self-awareness was extremely confused, and her mind was blank. At this moment, she saw Shen Yuntang pick up her perfume and whispered, "Have you noticed that your perfume is very self-centered?"

"It smells very nice on its own, but when combined with other things it becomes very strange."

She touched the bottle with her fingertips and sprayed it lightly on Wen Yanyan's hair.

The smell of perfume and the original shampoo mixed together to form a complex and pungent smell. They could neither blend with each other nor cover up the other.

Wen Yanyan shrank suddenly.

She picked up another scented tissue, sprayed it twice, and handed it to Wen Yanyan.

The strange smell even made Wen Yanyan want to sneeze.

"It's impossible for a person to stay in just one flavor." She smiled, her voice sweet, "When you conflict with your surroundings, you either adapt to the environment or completely invade the surroundings and make them your territory. Do you understand?"

Wen Yanyan lowered her head tremblingly and nodded convulsively.

“I understand…I understand…”

Shen Yuntang threw down the tissue and turned away.

After the crowd dispersed, she squatted down with her face in her hands, crying silently.

It turns out she was really wrong.

She is someone who is out of place and an eyesore in this environment.

This realization finally shattered her world, which had always been her own.

She no longer wanted to make incense.

The fragrance tasting session was over, and after dealing with all the media interviews, Charles finally found where Shen Yuntang was.

She was drinking a drink at the beach, enjoying the sea breeze, and she was as happy as she could be.

Charles finally escaped from the crowd with a false alarm, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked Shen Yuntang: "Where is Xie Yunting?"

Shen Yuntang looked back at him while holding the straw in his mouth, "How should I know?"

Charles nodded, "Oh, then he must be at work."

Shen Yuntang turned his head back again. This beverage shop was right on the seashore. Three meters out of the door, under the neatly built and clean stone bank was the surging sea. The blue waves were constantly hitting the shore, and from time to time, waves too high would splash onto the ground.

Charles ordered himself a glass of milk, specifically asking for tea and honey, and then finally said to Shen Yuntang: "Are you interested in doing a business?"

Shen Yuntang: "Not interested."

Charles continued to seduce: "It's the perfume and essential oil business."

He rambled on, "My assistant said your family is in business. I've always had this vision, but it's never come true. Although there are people willing to work with me, I don't think they're suitable."

Shen Yuntang then raised his eyes and looked at him: "Mr. Charles, you can just start praising me directly, there is no need to lay so much groundwork."

Charles: “…”

Charles: "My idea is to establish a brand line inspired by oriental elements, such as producing a perfume based on your image... well, or a milk tea or crispy pork belly fragrance."

Seeing that Shen Yuntang still showed no interest, Charles touched the back of his head and said, "From now on, my masterpiece will have to be enjoyed by you first..."

"--make a deal."

Shen Yuntang was faster than him and even stretched out his hand with a sweet smile: "Happy cooperation, dear Mr. Charles."

Charles: “…” He seemed to have really chosen a reliable partner.

Three days later, Shen Yuntang, who had a great time shopping at ST headquarters, finally boarded the plane back home. In addition to bringing back a lot of shopping results, he also brought back a cooperation that he didn't know how to develop.

Shen Yuntang was bored and browsing entertainment news on the plane. Eight out of ten were about fragrance tasting events, and two were about a certain actor and a certain idol having a fight again.

She flipped down and came across Shen Yunhe.

Shen Yuntang exclaimed, "Huh?"

Shen Yunhe is so capable of offending people. In just one month's absence, she has so many new enemies.

The one who had the biggest conflict with her seemed to be a rock musician, a man. I heard that he confronted her, provoked her, ridiculed her, and in short, he was very aggressive, which dominated the entertainment section in the past two days.

Sometimes she couldn't imagine how Shen Yunhe had offended so many people.

Besides her, there were many other people watching the news.

One of them was the lady who came to the party at Huo’s house last time and took away the perfume.

She was looking at the news and photos of the incense-tasting meeting as she did in previous years, and she was full of envy. Suddenly, her hand that was sliding down froze.

She enlarged a report picture.

Although the image quality in the corner was blurry, anyone who had seen her would definitely not be able to mistake her - the slender figure, the thick long hair, the dazzlingly white skin, and the lazy and pampered posture.

Shen Yuntang!

She nearly dropped her phone.

Is this Shen Yuntang? Why is Shen Yuntang here?

The lady suddenly stood up and walked around the room, and suddenly remembered that she had saved the phone number of the Huo family's housekeeper.

So she called and asked politely, "Butler Li, I would like to visit Miss Shen. Does Miss Shen have time?"

Butler Li on the other end said, "Ah!" "That's too bad. Miss Shen has gone abroad."

…No need to ask any more questions, she was basically sure.

Shen Yuntang got the opportunity to attend the incense tasting event.

She hung up the phone and sat down. When she saw the bottle of perfume on the table, her face felt a little hot for a moment.

No wonder... No wonder Shen Yuntang said it was not a good thing. Compared to this perfume that was only selected for the perfume tasting, the one that I saw in person at Zhaburg was much better.

She was speechless and embarrassed. Thinking of Wen Yanyan's rude look, she couldn't help but slap her forehead.

She was so mad that she was chasing after such a thing just for this crappy perfume.

Feeling angry and shocked, she called her best friend.

"Hello, Gu Lan?" She lowered her voice and asked, "Is your husband with you?"

Gu Lan on the other side paused, stood up, closed the door quietly, and walked to the balcony.

"No. What's wrong?"

"Remember the Miss Shen I told you about last time? Oh my God, she actually went to the fragrance tasting club!"

Gu Lan was stunned.

She was only thirty years old, and her face, once praised as stunning, now looked haggard and dull.

After a while, she heard a nagging voice on the other side: "I said I wanted to introduce you to her. You two should have a lot in common. She also likes to grow flowers and perfume. She has a big garden at home... And let me tell you, Miss Shen is actually a very nice person."

Gu Lan paused for a moment, lowered her head and held the railing, and said, "I don't grow flowers, and I don't use new perfume very often."

"...Bullshit, it's because of that bastard that you have no hobbies, right?" The lady swore for the first time, and she was very disappointed with her friend. "No, you must come with me to Miss Shen's house when she comes back. Do you know that you will get moldy if you stay at home for too long..."

"Wife? Are you there?"

Gu Lan heard the voice behind him, and then he was silent and said, "Let's talk about it next time."

She hung up the phone.

The lady looked at the hung up phone and was still angry, but after a while she sighed.

It would be nice if Miss Shen were here.

She suddenly thought of this for no apparent reason.

Miss Shen’s words might be able to... control Gu Lan.

Huo Yuyan was also free and watching the news.

When he saw the news about the incense tasting meeting, he paused, with his finger suspended in the air, as if he was about to click but didn't.

Order? No?

...No, there's nothing to be fussed about.

Huo Yuyan cursed himself, but still clicked it.

I scrolled down a few pages and saw nothing but some interviews, reports and some random introductions.

There is nothing else to slip to the bottom.

Huo Yuyan pressed exit.

After a while, he read out a report about a fragrance tasting event.

Huo Yuyan was silent for a moment. After a moment, he said, "Have you bought marketing?"

He wanted to see what the marketing buyer bought.

So he clicked in with confidence.

After just two pages, his fingers stopped, paused, and pulled down the previous page.

Amplify, amplify, amplify.

Miss Shen, who ran away from home, was sitting in the first row with her legs crossed, looking at the stage leisurely, not missing home at all.

There was even a suit jacket belonging to some strange man draped over her knees.

Haha, childish.

Huo Yuyan sneered, exited the page, and continued to scroll down.

After swiping for two seconds, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something to say to Shen Yuntang? Look at him, he just remembered it now, and forgot such an important thing.

Just make a phone call, it's no big deal.

He wasn't afraid of her scolding him.

Huo Yuyan dialed Shen Yuntang's number. His hand struggled for two or three minutes before finally accepting his control and pressing the dial button.

He has his reasons.

There is a piece of great news that has not yet been told to Shen Yuntang.

Huo Yuyan cleared his throat and picked up the phone.

…

On the plane over there, Shen Yuntang, who was having a meal, had his cell phone light up.

She glanced at it, ignored it, and continued eating her almond tofu.

The phone vibrated awkwardly in the silent air.

After a while, Xie Yunting put down his chopsticks and asked her with a chuckle:

"Answer it?"
