Chapter 17: Was to Be Her Assistant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not strange for a perfumer to be hired. But for such a young perfumer to appear in Aroman, a company that valued seniority the most and was even accompanied by President Jiang himself, it could be said that she was extraordinary.

In the silence, Jiang Shaomin pointed at a woman inside the office. 

“Elina, you will be her assistant.”

There was an uproar.

Elina was the vice-leader of the research and development team. She had a professional background in fragrance-making. She won a huge award and knew the company’s situation at the back of her hand. She was a strong candidate for promotion to the head of the research and development department.

Such an excellent woman was actually going to be the assistant of a newcomer.

Who was this new fragrance-making master?

Elina took a deep breath. When she met Jiang Shaomin’s gaze, she naturally agreed with ease. However, when she lowered her head, she bit her lips to hide the dissatisfaction in her eyes.

…

In the CEO’s office on the top floor, Bailu said hesitantly, “Actually, I can make the fragrance alone. I don’t need an assistant.”

After all, she used the treasure box to make the fragrance. If someone came to help, she would have to reveal her secret instead. 

Jiang Shaomin just looked down and flipped through some information. He said in a deep voice, “Elina has a lot of experience and can help you. Although you are talented in research and development, you are still far behind in other aspects.”

He handed over a piece of information that showed the latest quarterly sales of perfumes. 

When Bailu’s whereabouts were unknown, Bruce took Bailu’s ‘First Love’ perfume formula and used her money to create a company brand called ‘Kefen’.

The first product was a hardcover version of ‘First Love’ called ‘First Love Again’. He even bought an overwhelming number of advertisements in order to amass a large amount of money.

In the market where the old perfumes were out of date and lacked new competitors, the marketing of ‘First Love Again’ clearly played a role. It sold well for a month in a row and impacted the already consolidated perfume market.

After seeing with her own eyes that her hard work had become a tool to amass money and that the evil people had benefited, a bitter smile appeared on Bailu’s lips.

“I know. I will learn in Aroman. Other than perfuming, I will also learn how to make my perfumes into successful products.”

…

In the company bathroom, a mirror was smashed by the hard shell of lipstick, leaving a small crack.

Elina growled in a low voice, “I’ve been in the company for seven years. I’m good at product development and marketing. The company needs a new perfumer, and it should be me! Not some random woman!”

Amy, who was wearing a ponytail, chimed in, “She has such a thick face! How dare she ask you to be her assistant? She should be working under you for a few years!”

As the backer of the ancient Jiang family, there were only a dozen or so perfumers in Aroman. All of them were aristocrats who had been nurtured by aristocratic families. They had elegant tastes, won international awards, and created classic perfumes.

Every single one of them was a representative figure in the perfume industry. They had their own personal workshop in the Jiang family when they were almost thirty years old.

However, Bailu was just a little girl. How could she be compared to these experienced masters?

People who worked in Aroman were proud of their brand, but at the same time, they were also arrogant.

“I don’t believe that President Jiang would treat me like this… President Jiang praised me a few days ago, saying that I was dedicated to the company and that I was outstanding… How could he, how could he humiliate me like this?”

Elina covered her face and cried after she felt the great difference in treatment. 

Amy did not mind watching the show and instigated her, “If that’s the case, then you have to ask President Jiang for an explanation. Otherwise, our Aroman brand won’t recognize her!”

Elina looked up. Her eyes were flashing with anger. She rushed to Jiang Shaomin’s office impulsively.

However, when she met those cold eyes, a sudden invisible pressure made her lower her head.

Jiang Shaomin seemed to already know why she came.

“Being an assistant to a newbie may make you feel wronged, but the road to becoming a strong person is always bumpy. You need to temper your character.”

Besides, Elina’s ability was excellent. If she was willing to help, Bailu would improve rapidly. This was the training that he gave both of them at the same time.

Elina’s anger completely disappeared, and she finally showed a happy expression. It turned out that President Jiang did not deliberately humiliate her, but she still felt bad.

“Then when can I become an official perfumer and have my own works?”
