Chapter 37: Lost the Competition and Won the Bet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Compared to the rest of the works, it was reasonable to say that Bailu’s work stood a very good chance to win.
However, as the competition paid attention to impact and novelty, another work also appeared to be full of flavor.
Contestant Agatha’s ‘Winter Night’ used leather and wood ingredients. It was steady and simple.
It also managed to give rise to the cold feeling of winter.
Her perfume was the type that could immediately attract people’s attention and had a destructive power.
One was a summer night and the other was a winter night. Agatha’s work was naturally in competition with hers.
After seeing that Agatha and Bailu were tied, Alvis frowned slightly.
He knew that Bailu must have many killer moves and precious secret weapons, but why didn’t she use them this time?
If she continued to use materials with special effects like the Moon-Tip flower and Night-Soul flowers, the judges would think highly of her and her novelty.
However, Alvis’s preference for Bailu seemed to be a little obvious, or perhaps it was due to other reasons which caused a respected judge with a white beard to say in a deep voice, “As far as I know, Alvis has recently signed a partnership with Aroman, and Bailu seems to be the referral… so I think his score is a little biased. I suggest that his score be removed.”
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Although Alvis was the youngest son of the Matthew family, he was still young and did not have a deep foundation, so the judges decided to remove his score.
Therefore, first place was awarded to Agatha’s ‘Winter Night’.
As the winner had been decided, the usual smile on Alvis’s face disappeared.
He naturally had the intention to support Bailu. If she won, she would be awarded resources provided by the Matthew family. Alvis would then have the opportunity to work with her.
However, not only did the judges wanted to support another contestant, but they also did not give him any face.
Alvis left with a cold face.
Everyone looked at each other, and the white-bearded old man sighed. He said, “This time, for Agatha’s victory, we have offended Alvis.”
“There’s no choice. Agatha’s work has been decided internally. Although Bailu from Aroman has talent, it’s not enough. If you want to stand out, you can’t just rely on talent.”
The trophy was engraved with Agatha’s name, and the dust settled.
Although Bailu was disappointed when she learned of the result, she did not feel sorry for herself.
As expected, without the treasure box, she was still unable to make a truly perfect perfume.
In the past, she might have been determined to prove her ability for the sake of her illusory self-esteem. However, the treasure box was lost, and she had finally found it. The deep connection with it in her brain and blood guided her.
There was no need to reject the magical power of the treasure box. She should accept it instead as it was destined to be a match made in heaven for her.
There were some idle people in the company who ridiculed Bailu for not getting first place. Bailu recognized that they were just the lackeys trained by Elena. She could not help but smile. She then walked over slowly.
“It is said that Miss Agatha has exceptional talent and has been in the industry since she was a child. She was born to be a famous perfumer, and I am fully convinced. But even if I am in second place, I am still better than Miss Elina, who is almost at the bottom. Since everyone can obviously witness the clear difference, I wonder if I have won the bet?”
Bailu used a rhetorical tone. In fact, she wanted these people who did not like her to personally give her a positive answer.
“How can my work have such a low score? I must have been secretly manipulated!”
Elina still did not approve of the result. After all, her work was reformulated by a master. She had personally gotten it from the master himself. How could it be bad?
However, she did not know that it was because of her excessive imitation that she got a low score.
“The bet was set by you. It turns out that Miss Elina did not keep her word.”
Bailu mocked Elina.
Elina received a blow from Bailu one after another. Her face turned black. She then said, “It was just a fluke. I heard that one of the judges knew you and gave you a high score. Although his score was canceled, who knows if the second place you got is because of you?”
After all, Bailu was following President Jiang around. It was normal for her to have the opportunity to get to know some influential people.
However, in reality, Jiang Shaomin wished he could lock her up at home. He did not want other men to look at her at all.
