Chapter 397 The Ace Perfume is Copied
Shen Jiheng always respected her opinions, but he did not agree with her decisions.
“Your idea is good, but I’m not comfortable leaving a dangerous person by your side. She could hurt you at any time.”
“If she wanted to hurt me, she would have done it long ago. She has had so many opportunities, and now people in the company have a lot of complaints about her, but she still persists. She must have something to ask for.”
Han Xi could sense that she had no hostility and was even desperately trying to stay.
Shen Jiheng put his hand on her shoulder and said, "I can ask you anything you want to know. Isn't that simpler and more convenient?"
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated, but of course he understood what he meant.
If someone falls into his hands, they'll be badly injured, if not killed. She wanted to find the answer herself, and she always felt that Tang Qing might not be what he said, and that there was more to the story.
"I will have Leng Yu protect me throughout the process, and then I will trace back to the answer."
Are you really sure?
Han Xi nodded firmly: "You've found this little-known secret and made a great contribution. You'll be rewarded when we get back."
Han Xi changed the subject, and Shen Jiheng understood her meaning and said no more.
Anyway, everything was under his control. He had already instructed Leng Yu and the other informants to take immediate action if they found anything unusual about Tang Qing, and to never give her a chance to harm Han Xi.
As the two were chatting, Han Xi suddenly froze. She looked up at the podium and quickly pulled Shen Jiheng over.
Shen Jiheng, puzzled, asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Han Xi said anxiously, "Yun Zhi Lian, I can smell the scent of Yun Zhi Lian. The perfume Jefferson is holding is the ultimate secret of our Han Shu Group."
Han Xi never expected that the so-called mysterious perfume tonight was actually Cloud Love.
Many people have long coveted Yun Zhi Lian, including Minister Qiu, who, despite his long period of infiltration, was unable to figure out how this special perfume was made.
Han Xi finally told him that the reason why this perfume could not be replicated by outsiders was because it contained the scented sweat of the mother and daughter.
Even Han Xi thought it was impossible for anyone to develop this perfume, but he didn't expect to smell the exact same scent here.
"How could this be? My mother told me back then that no one would ever be able to develop this perfume again, which is why it became Han Shu Group's trump card..."
Seeing his trump card revealed, Han Xi felt a little flustered for the first time.
Shen Jiheng held her hand to comfort her, "Don't panic, there must be something wrong." He then immediately gestured to Qin Chuan at the door.
Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan immediately stepped forward, and Shen Jiheng instructed, "Go and investigate the source of the perfume in Jefferson's possession immediately. No matter what means you use, you must find out the result."
"Understood, I'll get on it right away!"
Qin Chuan turned on the walkie-talkie to summon his men, urging them to complete the president's orders as quickly as possible.
Jefferson held up the exquisite glass bottle in his hand. The bottle was shaped like a goddess, and the perfume inside was a pale pink color, which was even more dazzling under the light.
The aroma emanating from inside attracted people from all over the city.
Some people sensed something and whispered among themselves, even if Jefferson was a copy, the fact that he could actually pull it off was truly amazing.
"This is our company's latest magical perfume series, called Goddess Water."
Jefferson's gaze met Han Xi's as he spoke, and he revealed a satisfied and smug smile.
Han Xi immediately walked to the podium and questioned, "Mr. Jefferson, you gathered everyone here tonight for the exhibition, with so many well-known companies present. How could you still do such a thieving thing?"
Jefferson smiled politely, "So it's President Han. What makes you say that? Do you think I stole your formula just because the perfume I have happens to be similar to your signature product?"
"Isn't that right? I'm not the only one here who's surprised, which means everyone shares the same thought as me. I hope you can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise things might not end well today."
Han Xi suppressed her impulse; it was precisely in times like these that she needed to remain calm and not lose her composure.
But what exactly happened? She also wanted to know where he got the formula from.
"Mr. Han, you're exaggerating. I just happened to hire a researcher who was fired from your Hanshu Group. It was through his tireless efforts that he developed this perfume."
Minister Qiu?
Han Xi hadn't even settled accounts with him yet, but he had already run off to help the enemy.
Jefferson reminded everyone, "And if you smell it carefully again, our Goddess Water has a sweet scent, which your Cloud Love doesn't have."
After he finished speaking, he asked the staff to distribute the perfume test strips. When he handed one to Han Xi, she could indeed smell another faint sweet scent.
It should be said that it adds another attractive element to the foundation of "Love in the Clouds".
This also means that if this Goddess Water is produced, Han Shu Group's Cloud Love will no longer have a market, and it will lose a large number of high-quality VIP customers.
This is a significant blow to them.
Han Xi trembled with anger. What she cared about was not the money, but her reputation and the hard work her mother had put in. How could she hand it over to these shameless people?
Shen Jiheng sensed her emotional breakdown and rushed forward to support her shoulders, glaring at Jefferson.
"Mr. Shen, we meet again. We said before that our struggle wasn't over yet, but this time, it's your woman. I'm really sorry."
Shen Jiheng supported Han Xi with one hand and kicked him with the other.
Jefferson never expected Shen Jiheng to make a move in public. Caught off guard, he was kicked to the ground and fell into the crowd.
"You...you dare to hit someone! So many eyewitnesses saw it all. I'm going to sue you."
"Go ahead and sue me. You're a complete scumbag. All you do is steal other people's things. You arranged for someone to steal my chip back then, and now you're setting your sights on Han Xi. I think you don't want to live anymore."
When Shen Jiheng gets angry, he doesn't care about the occasion. Everyone present knows this, and after hearing Shen Jiheng's words, they all turn around and leave, pretending they didn't see anything.
Jefferson wanted these people to testify, so he quickly called out as everyone left.
“Don’t leave, all of you. This guy usually bullies everyone by abusing his power. We should teach him a lesson.”
Unfortunately, his words did not resonate with anyone; instead, they were met with disgust.
What this industry hates most is people who steal the fruits of others' labor. Only Shen Jiheng has the power and dares to take direct action. If it were anyone else, they would probably only be able to file a lawsuit.
Shen Jiheng kicked again, sending Jefferson rolling twice on the spot.
“If you attacked me, I wouldn’t be so angry, but if you went after Han Xi, that would be the biggest mistake you’ve ever made.”
Normally, Han Xi would have tried to stop him from getting violent, but at this moment she felt very relieved and wanted to beat these treacherous villains to death.
Applause came from behind Han Xi. She turned around and saw Bo Siye standing in the corner watching the show.
