Chapter 231 - Fire Lotus

By chance, Zhu Yi discovered that fire lotus could bring out the purity of a fragrance, so she would add the extract when working on a perfume. It turned out to be a good decision.

In addition, when the fire lotus bloomed, it looked just like a burning flame. It was very beautiful and Qin Yu loved it very much ever since she was a child.

Thinking of these memories, Qin Yu went to the place where she used to live with her parents. It wasn't how it was back then and a new chemical factory had been built.

She searched around for a long time and finally found a patch of fire lotus seedlings. Because the chemical factory emitted poisonous gas, the fire lotus seedlings weren't growing healthily. It was difficult for them to even survive, let alone bloom.

She carefully retrieved the fire lotus seedlings and transplanted them into the back garden of the Ning family.

In the process of cultivating her series of perfume, she added a small amount of fire lotus extract. Just a little fire lotus extract was enough to elevate the already stunning fragrance to a higher level.

It is now Qin Yu's secret weapon.

Anybody who desired in replicating her perfume would fail, unless they discovered fire lotus, the key ingredient.

Qin Yu placed the fire lotus seedling on a wooden shelf facing the sun. She washed her hands and was about to boil water when Ah Nan suddenly ran in excitedly with an envelope-like object in her hand.

"Good news, good news! We've received an invitation to the International Perfume Awards! This is given to Ah Bei from his father, which is meant for you boss! We've done it!"

A smile appeared on Qin Yu's face.

Their efforts and talents were appreciated. They didn't even need to make an application to participate and now they received an invitation.

"Let's get ready. We'll go next month." Qin Yu took the envelope, opened it, and handed it to Ah Bei after confirming that there were no mistakes.

"You can be my representative at the International Perfume Awards this time. When I finally participate in the selection of the World Perfume Organization Association, I'll participate with my real identity."

Ah Bei nodded. "Then I'll participate under the name of Xiang Yun."

"Jason!" A sobbing female voice suddenly sounded. Jason, who was reading the report, was so frightened that he shivered and hurriedly looked up.

Linda's face was covered with tears. She ran into the office aggrievedly and threw her bag on the sofa. Without saying anything, she began to cry. "Ning Chen, how can you be so unreasonable!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Jason hurriedly walked over and poured Linda a glass of water. He saw Linda take out her phone and pass it to him, at the same time, she cursed, "Look, he actually brought that bitch out? What's so good about that woman compared to me? Is he blind? Oh, he seems to be blind..."

Linda realized later that she had spoken too much, so she kept silent and only shed tears.

"Linda, it's been so many years. Can't you see clearly? If Ning Chen liked you, he would have been with you a long time ago. He didn't want to delay you any further, that's why he didn't make any move. He felt that it would be irresponsible to you. No matter who he was with, he wouldn't like you." Jason looked at Linda, who still hadn't figured it out, his tone couldn't help but became more stern.

Linda blinked. After a long time, she said pitifully, "Does he really not like me... am I just bad?"

"No, you're not. It's just that Ning Chen is not suitable for you. Can't you go and find your own happiness?"

After Jason said that, he blushed. If he said that, Linda would not think of him, right?

However, Linda obviously didn't think of Jason at all. She was a little stunned and also seemed to have realized something, "Yeah, I've always been on his side. Instead, I've only made myself miserable. Maybe I should give up... Thank you, Jason. I'll think about it carefully!"

After Linda said that, she wiped away her tears, picked up her bag, and left.

Jason looked at Linda's back and sighed slightly.

After all these while, don't you see I'm always here for you?

"That's Xu Man. Young master, are you sure you want to do this?" Uncle Wen looked at Ning Chen nervously.

Ning Chen had already put on his gloves, and he was also wearing a loose black windbreaker.

"Song Hai lives in a high-end residential area, so it's not convenient for us to take action. However, Xu Man jogs every morning, and there aren't many people in the park in the morning, so it's the best time to take action. There's no other way. These people are in high positions, so if we go directly to them, how could they tell the truth? It's better to be direct. What kind of person jogs all day at such an age? It must be someone who wants to live a healthy life for decades, so he must cherish his life."

Ning Chen finished tidying up and took out a cap and put it on his head.. He waved his hand and signaled everyone to begin.
