Chapter 37 [2nd update, 10,000 nutrient solution extra update]
Where is Shen Yuntang?
Shen Yunhe stood at the junction of Area A and Super Class A. She could no longer move forward and her heart sank almost instantly.
She felt her heartbeat echoing in her ear canal, one after another, heavy sound.
That's impossible.
Did she miss something? Was it because the booth of the Extraordinary Perfume was too remote and she didn't see it?
Area C, Area B, Area A, why are there none of them?
Obviously Gu Lan had already arrived, and the people who were setting up the booth should have arrived as well.
Shen Yunhe was so nervous that her limbs felt heavy and she didn't dare to move forward. Her friends were still urging her: "Sister He, let's go. Super A area is in front. Let's go to support your booth!"
No way...
Only those who have applied know how difficult it is to apply for a Super A-class booth. Ye Jinze has a cooperative relationship with the organizer, so he was able to get a small, remote booth for her. How did Shen Yuntang get in?
Shen Yunhe took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Only then did she sort out her chaotic emotions and forced a smile, "Okay, let's go in."
The further she walked, the stiffer her limbs became.
Even she herself couldn't explain what she was afraid of.
The door to the Super A-class exhibition area opened, and the area was brightly lit and brilliantly designed. They walked in with a smile on their faces, saying, "It's really nice to come in early, there aren't many people. When it's officially open, those internet celebrities and celebrities will be invited to visit, and there will be more media, so it won't be so enjoyable."
"It's all thanks to Sister He's privilege. It's great to have a mine at home."
Shen Yunhe took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Nothing, just a small matter."
They turned a corner and came to the most central area. Because they were walking along one side, they first noticed the booth on the corner when they turned the corner.
Someone just said, "There are such booths in Super A Class," and before he finished speaking, he saw Shen Yunhe's poster on the booth.
The person who spoke swallowed his words and slowly closed his mouth after a long while.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, Shen Yunhe had not expected it to be so small that there wasn't even a place for them to stay.
The staff who were packing up the booth and products noticed them at this moment, was stunned for a moment, and quickly greeted Shen Yunhe.
Shen Yunhe's smile was almost gone. Fortunately, the people around her were all smart. Although they didn't know what she was thinking, they at least gave her face on the surface and changed the subject:
"Sister He, is this the new perfume you're endorsing?" Someone picked it up and took a look. "The bottle is pretty nice. This kind of design is rare in China."
Shen Yunhe finally put aside her embarrassment and introduced: "We found a foreign master to design the bottle."
The man opened a bottle of sample and tried it, and was surprised: "This smells so high-end, the big brands I often use can hardly compare to it, it smells especially noble."
Others also came over to try it and were also surprised, and started praising Shen Yunhe.
They originally thought that Shen Yunhe's marketing was just bragging, but they didn't expect that she actually had some real skills.
Even if this perfume was designed by professionals hired by their family and Shen Yunhe just took credit for it, this perfume is enough to be an achievement for Shen Yunhe.
Shen Yunhe finally regained some of her dignity. Looking at their envious eyes, she suddenly felt a little proud.
That's right. Those of you who have never smelled Master Charles' perfume will be completely fascinated by this scent.
Even though they made some minor changes in the perfume, they did not deviate from the original tone. This perfume was made to enhance the aesthetic taste of this group of people.
Just as Shen Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a voice that almost made her PTSD and she never wanted to hear again -
"How can it be such a coincidence?" The woman's voice was young and sweet, even with a hint of smile, but the moment the voice came out, Shen Yunhe's hair stood on end.
She turned her head suddenly and saw Shen Yuntang standing outside their booth.
Shen Yuntang was wearing a one-shoulder dress. She still had that dazzlingly beautiful face and a smile on her face, as if she was really curious about why she saw them here.
Shen Yunhe's breathing paused for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that everyone around her turned around to look at her.
Someone couldn't help but ask Shen Yunhe in a low voice: "Is this an artist you know? How come I haven't seen someone this beautiful before?"
Shen Yunhe's face was extremely ugly. After a long while, she managed to smile a little and said, "Shen Yuntang, you are here too?"
The other party nodded, as if it was a matter of course, "Our booth is here, so of course I'm here."
She looked at Shen Yunhe's pale face, raised her eyebrows, tilted her head to indicate, and said, "I'm over there, come over and chat if you have time."
She smiled at the people here, turned around and walked towards the largest booth opposite, wearing seven-centimeter lambskin shoes.
Before the people here could react to what she meant, they saw that at her signal, the staff lifted the blackout cloth of the main booth opposite, revealing the neatly arranged perfume bottles inside.
The curtain fell, the light poured out, and her slender figure with her arms folded was enveloped in the bright light.
She just walked in.
The group of people here were stunned.
Is she the owner of the biggest booth? Is she... the boss, or the spokesperson?
If he is a spokesperson, then his status must be higher than theirs, how come they haven’t seen him before?
Could it be the boss?
She is so beautiful but she still wants to do business. Is your business world so messed up?
They just turned around and wanted to ask Shen Yunhe who this was, but they saw that Shen Yunhe's face was no longer normal. It was a mixture of fear, astonishment, disbelief, unwillingness, embarrassment and anger. They didn't know what was wrong, not only was her breathing heavy, but her arms were also shaking.
Just as I was wondering, another person came over from the opposite direction.
It was Gu Lan who had just finished touching up her makeup.
She walked quickly into the booth opposite. She was so imposing on the red carpet outside that she felt a little embarrassed in front of this woman. She said, "Ms. Shen, how was your performance today?"
Miss Shen tilted her head to glance at her, then looked away and said, "Well done."
She lightly took Gu Lan's hand, led her forward, and said lazily: "Take a look at our products first."
Gu Lan seemed stunned for a moment, a little nervous, and followed Miss Shen's pace stupidly. After a while, he finally adjusted himself and held her carefully with his stiff arm.
It was obviously a very ordinary action, but when Shen Yuntang did it, it made people feel flattered.
It was as if the coolest beautiful cat finally gave the human a look and put her little paws on him.
The scene over there is harmonious and pleasing to the eye, but the atmosphere over here is weird.
Gu Lan connected with Miss Shen. These two key words were enough for them to guess that this was the extraordinary perfume that had been very popular recently.
That's the one who pressed Shen Yunhe's face under his feet.
No wonder Shen Yunhe's face looked as ugly as a dead person, several people muttered in their hearts.
GG stepped on Shen Yunhe during the promotion, stepped on Shen Yunhe on the red carpet outside, and now even stepped on Shen Yunhe at the exhibition booth.
They all felt sorry for Shen Yunhe.
But after all, they were relationships that they would meet again in the future, so no one showed it on their faces. They just secretly thought that this Miss Shen was truly extraordinary. How deep must her background be to be able to win so many GGS as a newly established brand, and also to get the best booth?
In comparison, it was relatively normal for her to bring Gu Lan back.
They sighed for a while, then remembered that they were here to support Shen Yunhe. Shen Yunhe has been in the limelight recently, so it is natural not to offend her if you can befriend her. Since they are here, if they don't do their best to show their favor, it would be better not to come.
So they all suppressed their embarrassment and said to her, "Sister He, your booth is actually quite good. It's right at the corner and you can see it from any direction."
"Yes, yes. And since it's in the central area, the media will definitely focus on taking pictures. People who are invited in later will also start their visit from this area. It will definitely attract a lot of attention."
After being flattered by them for a long time, Shen Yunhe's face finally became a little normal. She forced a smile and said, "You guys go shopping first. I'll make a phone call."
She left the crowd and walked to a corner in a daze. She stared at the wall for a long time before she picked up her cell phone and called Shen Anguo.
"Dad..." She didn't even have any strength left. She was repeatedly pressed down by Shen Yuntang. She was so angry that she was left with only physiological trembling and a confused fear of how all this happened.
"Have you found the booth? Do you think it's very big?" Shen Anguo was still angry and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Shen Yunhe didn't even have the energy to argue with him. She said in a daze, "The largest booth across from us... is the Extraordinary Perfume booth."
"Ah?" Shen Anguo was stunned. "Extraordinary Perfume?? It's them again?"
She slowly heard the sound of Shen Anguo throwing things over there, and he cursed, "You're still haunting me! How could I be so unlucky to run into this company!"
"Dad..." She paused again, feeling even more exhausted about what she was about to say, "Do you know who the owner of Extraordinary Perfume is?"
"Who?" Shen Anguo frowned. "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me if it's someone you know. Who on earth can target us so frequently?"
"Who else could hate us so much besides her?" Shen Yunhe was a little numb. "Ms. Shen, is there any other Miss Shen who regards us as enemies?"
All the sounds from Shen Anguo's side suddenly stopped.
After a while, his voice changed.
"Shen Yuntang?"
"Is it Shen Yuntang?!"
Shen Anguo seemed to be furious. It took him a long time to calm down and comforted him, "Don't be afraid of her. Our products are definitely the best. What are the booths currently offering? Who has a good reputation and who has a lot of sales is not determined by the booth! Be tough and don't admit defeat to her. I don't believe I can lose to her."
Shen Yunhe finally came back to her senses. Yes, they also have products. Their perfumes are truly world-class and cannot be compared with any ordinary brand.
Shen Anguo hung up the phone on her and searched through his phone book for a long time before finally finding a number.
He called without thinking, and had prepared a lot of words to teach the other party a lesson, but before he could open his mouth, he found that the other party had hung up on him.
Shen Anguo choked and called again, but Shen Yuntang had already blocked him.
The anger stuck in his chest made him feel so uncomfortable that he was about to explode, but Shen Yuntang was so ruthless that he didn't even give him a chance to speak.
He thought about it and decided to call Huo Yuyan.
Huo Yuyan took it.
Shen Anguo perked up and started to curse: "Are you with Shen Yuntang? Tell her not to plot against me! Even her sister is not someone she can bully! She is so petty that she forgets the kindness I brought her up for such a small matter. Is she worthy of her mother and me?"
“…”
Huo Yuyan, who was inexplicably scolded, stopped pulling on his seat belt in confusion.
Who is this person?
Combining what the bird had said, he deduced that he seemed to be... Shen Yuntang's biological father? Shen Anguo?
Huo Yuyan moved his hands again, unbuckled the seat belt, and asked as he got out of the car: "Are you mentally ill?"
Shen Anguo was stunned. Before he could react to what Huo Yuyan was saying to him, he heard the other end speak clearly and calmly, word by word like a string of cannonballs:
"You are so funny. Shen Yuntang can bully anyone he wants. Is it your business?"
"You are an unfilial daughter when there is nothing wrong. If there is something wrong with your father, you will transform. What? You don't show up when your father is needed, but you send him up when he is not needed?"
"Wow, you are just threatening me, right?" Huo Yuyan asked in surprise, "You should tell me if you can really do it. You said she can't step on you and she can't step on you? Is this a method of moral victory?"
"You are still raising her, can you afford to raise her? Her mother raised her before, now it's me and my mother who raise her, you are nothing?"
Finally, before the elevator closed, he took advantage of the last signal and calmly concluded his speech into the microphone: "Get lost."
The elevator door slowly closed, reflecting the terrified look on the face of a passerby outside the door.
He thought that the man just now was a domineering president, but he was wrong. Not all handsome men in suits are aloof.
Shen Anguo on the other side was already so angry with him that he was about to curse back, but found that he was blocked again.
He was about to throw his phone when he suddenly remembered what Huo Yuyan said.
…Her mother used to raise her.
Her mother raised her, not him.
Shen Anguo didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Why did Huo Yuyan say that?
Does he know something?
...That's impossible.
Absolutely not.
Shen Anguo sat down on the chair in a daze, and then he slowly realized that his heart was beating loudly.
After a while, he got up tremblingly and began to look through the information, not wanting to feel at ease until he made sure that he had destroyed everything.
But as he was searching, he suddenly stopped.
...What about that agreement?
Did he break it or where did he put it?
Huo Yuyan strode into the Super A-class exhibition area. Many staff members greeted him on the way. He hurriedly replied a few times and quickened his pace. In the end, he couldn't help but run.
The staff just watched as CEO Huo ran around the stadium with his coat folded around his arms.
I don't know what you're in such a hurry for.
After much difficulty, we finally reached the center. Now people were starting to come in to set up the booth, and it would take a while before the invited guests were officially allowed in.
He saw Shen Yuntang standing in her booth at a glance.
Today she wore a one-shoulder dress. It was fine when her hair was draped behind her, but when she casually pushed her hair over her shoulders, a large area of skin and beautiful butterfly bones were exposed on her back.
Huo Yuyan paused.
After a while, he slowed down his pace, walked up as if he was strolling in, and said, "Hey."
Shen Yuntang tilted his head when he heard the voice.
She is very beautiful today, and her eyelashes are especially long.
Huo Yuyan got a response, and suddenly said confidently: "Your father scolded me!"
Shen Yuntang: “…”
She looked like she didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned her head away, saying in a cold tone: "Can't you curse back?"
Huo Yuyan choked and stammered for a while, and finally said: "...I can't scold him better."
He could feel Shen Yuntang's speechlessness even from two meters away.
He always felt that the back of her head was filled with the words "Stay away from me, you waste" written all over it.
He was trying to play up his sympathy again when he saw a hand stretched out with the palm open in front of him.
Huo Yuyan was stunned.
Shen Yuntang concentrated on watching the staff setting up the booth, without even glancing at him, and said lazily, "Give it to me."
He reacted for a moment, then placed his cell phone in Shen Yuntang's palm in a daze.
"password?"
Seeing Shen Yuntang lower his head and scan the screen, Huo Yuyan's mind went blank and he said, "It's my birthday."
Seeing Shen Yuntang paused, he knew she must want to say, "How do I know when your birthday is?" Huo Yuyan wisely added the date, and then he saw Shen Yuntang enter the password to unlock the screen, and heard her say, "It's my birthday from now on."
Before he could react or ask what number it was, Shen Yuntang opened the call log and clicked on the top number.
"Why was he blocked?" Shen Yuntang frowned.
Huo Yuyan paused, "...I was so hurt by his scolding that I blocked him."
Shen Yuntang rolled his eyes at him, removed the number from the blacklist, and dialed again.
After the call was connected, without waiting for Shen Anguo to respond, she said:
"Get lost, old man!"
Then he skillfully hung up the phone and blocked the person.
Shen Anguo on the other end didn't even have a second to react.
Shen Yuntang handed the phone back and continued to watch them set up the booth with his arms folded.
Huo Yuyan was stunned for a while before he hurriedly put his phone back into his pocket.
He also looked after Shen Yuntang for a while, then said woodenly, "Thank you, Miss Shen."
"That's good to know."
After a while, he asked again: "Are you cold?"
“It’s not cold.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuntang covered his mouth and sneezed.
Huo Yuyan: "..."
I still say, sometimes you don’t have to be so stubborn!
But the lady obviously would not admit that she was being stubborn, she was still fearlessly arrogant. It seemed that he had to give the reason.
So Huo Yuyan was silent, and acted with her against his will: "...I'm afraid you'll be cold."
Huo Yuyan: "Why don't you put on a coat?"
He threw the coat in his hand over Shen Yuntang as if throwing it, fearing that she would find fault with him if he touched her.
How should I put it? Shen Yuntang did look a little cold. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn't have grabbed the collar of her coat tightly and said to him, "Take it away!"
As Miss Shen's long-term punching bag, Huo Yuyan also thought that he couldn't expose how cold she was at this moment and lose her face, so he continued to play along with her: "I won't take it."
It was rare that after just two words, Miss Shen accepted the coat as if she was forced.
Then the two of them just watched the staff setting up the booth in silence, making the staff break out in cold sweats.
Shen Yuntang then said: "Still watching, how long do you want to watch?"
“…I am just conducting a normal inspection.”
Shen Yuntang was silent for a moment, then smiled. Huo Yuyan knew something was wrong the moment she smiled.
——"So, Mr. Huo, have you ever thought about doing something for me during the inspection?"
Shen Yuntang turned her head, and Huo Yuyan followed her gaze and found that the booth opposite was Anguo Daily Chemicals. It turned out that this was the Super A-class booth No. 98.
What is Shen Yuntang doing?
He also remained silent, and asked hesitantly: "...What's the matter?"
"Shen Anguo plagiarized the perfume I was going to launch." Shen Yuntang said, "I just like to make a big fuss and pursue a show. If you let the media in early, I will quarrel with her at the hour, and then you will come out and say, 'What? The exhibition we host does not allow the existence of plagiarized works. Please leave or I will call the security.'"
Huo Yuyan: "..."
He was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say.
He recalled what Shen Yuntang said when he first met her second personality: "Girl really wants to do you a heavy punishment," and began to wonder what Shen Yuntang read to come up with such lines.
Huo Yuyan sighed heavily and accepted his fate: "Okay."
Before he left, he remembered something and said to her, "It will only take a few days to get Anguo Daily Chemicals back. Do you want to deal with them all at once?"
After saying this, Huo Yuyan began to reflect on how he developed the habit of saying "done it".
"Cut the grass first and then remove the roots." Shen Yuntang narrowed his eyes, "I said I'm better at bullying people than you, so listen to me."
Huo Yuyan continued to nod resignedly: "Okay, Director Shen, your actor Huo is here."
He strode out of the venue again, and his back looked particularly neat.
It took Shen Yuntang a long time before he looked over there. He smiled for some reason, then retracted his smile.
Shen Yunhe walked back to the booth in a daze. Her friends had already gone to different places, and Shen Yuntang and Gu Lan were gone. She stopped in front of the booth alone and brainwashed herself, telling herself that the product was the first priority and nothing else mattered.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard the broadcast announcement in the venue saying that the exhibition was about to begin and the media and the first group of invited guests were preparing to enter.
She cheered herself up and told the staff: "I will go down and socialize, you guys promote it well."
The staff nodded and carefully placed the perfume bottles on the stand to spread the fragrance.
Soon someone came in. They were from the editorial department of a certain magazine. They were the first to enter the super A-class exhibition area. As soon as they walked into the central area, they were attracted by the fragrance here.
The editor came over and asked curiously, "What kind of perfume is this? It smells so unique."
As the staff was busy introducing the perfume, another editor from the magazine came over and pulled her: "The editor-in-chief's perfume is so amazing, come here, come here, I have never smelled such a high-end perfume, it is very unique, I guarantee that no one has used it!"
The editor paused and said, "This one is not bad either. Let me take a look at this one first."
The editor then realized that this was also a perfume booth, so he moved closer to take a sniff.
“Eh…?”
The editor was stunned. "Why does it taste similar to that place?"
