Chapter 687: I Found Out Who the Person is. It’s Qiao Qing.
One of the other judges stood up, “I agree with what Professor Zhang said, both the scent and the name of the perfume deserve number two.”
“But forgive me for saying this, when I smelled your perfume, I could not at all think of what you were trying to do. That is why your score isn’t high. Of course, we still hope you will come up with a better product next time.”
Xu Pingting made it clear that she did not want this forced compliment. When she felt the mockery around her, she was more than embarra.s.sed. Finally, she turned away and tried to leave.
The MC said, “Ms. Xu, don’t leave yet. You’re in third place.”
Xu Pingting froze a little bit and gritted her teeth. Then, she left without stopping.
The room burst into laughter.
“Oh my G.o.d, she doesn’t want the third-place trophy anymore. She sure is proud.”
“Her goal was to get number one! Yet she got number three. How can she be happy?”
“Different people pursue different things. If I could get into the top three, I’d go nuts from joy!”
“Her ambition was larger than the sky. It was too bad that she encountered Queen!”
“…”
The MC continued, “Please come up here to collect your prizes. You can also send someone up here on your behalf.”
Her words reminded everyone of what happened three years ago.
That time, an a.s.sistant was sent up because the creator was lowkey. This time, the creator left in a rage because she was unsatisfied with her ranking.
These two were very different in comparison and it was obvious which one was better.
After Xu Pingting left, the short-haired perfumer went to collect the prize on her behalf.
On her way up there, Lu Xu mocked, “Who was the one making fun of our Qingqing just now? Does your face feel slapped?”
Jun Yexuan, “…”
Our Qingqing?
The short-haired perfumer’s head felt numb. She silently cursed but didn’t end up saying anything out loud.
Qiao Qing became the center of attention after she went up on stage.
The men in the audience all gaped at her with heated gazes.
Just then, Gong Yi received a call.
Once he picked up, a familiar voice said to him, “Young master, I found out who the person is. It’s Qiao Qing. It’s always been her who’s been interfering with our investigation. Luckily, she doesn’t have much influence in country Z and she hasn’t been able to cover all her traces. This is the only reason why we found some clues.”
Gong Yi watched the cold-faced girl on stage, then he looked down at Jun Yexuan, who only had Qiao Qing in his eyes.
He felt a lump in his throat, “Got it.”
Up on the stage, everyone had collected their prizes.
Qiao Qing was about to come back down when the MC stopped her, “Ms. Qiao, we have a question for you. ‘Wild Green’ was the product that made you famous and that product was the number one seller for three years. However, other than ‘Wild Green’ and this new ‘Indulgence’, how come we’ve never seen other products from you?”
Others were also curious about this. It was true. ‘Wild Green’ was a limited edition and for years everyone sought after Queen. However, n.o.body successfully tracked her down.
When it came to Queen, everyone only knows ‘Wild Green’.
Qiao Qing answered, “I don’t have any other products. I only have these two.”
“What~”
Her words made everyone gasp.
The MC was in shock for a while. After some time, she finally asked, “The first time you created a perfume, you created ‘Wild Green’?”
Qiao Qing nodded.
Her expression was calm as if that achievement was nothing to be proud of.
