75 Help
Hearing someone mention this bet, Zhou Nan’s face turned pale.
Zhou Heng was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning. He slammed the table in a panic to make everyone quiet down. Unfortunately, no one listened to him anymore and no one respected him as they used to.
The man next to Xu Meng had already felt embarrassed and ran away in the chaos. It was a mess in the audience, but there was silence on the stage.
He Miao calmly walked to the center of the stage, her face devoid of the joy of a winner. She picked up the microphone and mimicked Zhou Heng and Zhou Nan’s previous behavior, urging, “Miss Zhou Nan, please don’t waste everyone’s time. If you agree to a bet, you must accept your loss.”
Zhou Nan stammered and stammered. She looked at her uncle, who had always been omnipotent, for help.
However, Zhou Heng was already in a difficult situation. After this event, it would be difficult for him to continue in the perfume-making industry.
It was the same for any field. Once you lost your credibility, no one would be willing to continue working with you.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Zhou Nan’s face. She looked up at He Miao, who was expressionless, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
It’s all because of her. If not for her, I would have gotten the trophy and won the championship. I would have returned to university and continued to be her proud self!
It’s Xu Zheng! She was Xu Heng’s student! They must be here for revenge!
Zhou Nan could not stand the disdainful gazes on the stage and the wanton abuse from the audience. She finally completely lost her mind and pointed at He Miao. “You, you’re here to avenge your teacher, right? That must be the case. Otherwise, how could you possibly produce a better work than mine? You must have cheated! You definitely didn’t make this!”
With regards to Zhou Nan’s words, smart people could immediately see that she could not accept the fact that she had lost the bet and was trying her best to discredit He Miao so that she could get away.
However, there were still some people who were not clear-headed and were led astray by her words. They started to question the meaning of He Miao’s participation and the authenticity of her work.
Some people on the internet even found out that He Miao was a student who had just transferred to the Fragrances and Perfumes Department. It was impossible for her to learn how to make perfumes in such a short time!
The situation was getting more and more confusing. Both sides were insistent on their own words, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the lies. Even the two judges, who had been admiring He Miao just now, hesitated.
Seeing that some believed her words, Zhou Nan felt that she had exposed He Miao’s scheme. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled smugly. “Am I really right? You brought your professor’s work to participate in the competition. You’re the one who’s really cheating!”
As soon as she said this, everyone’s eyes gathered on He Miao, waiting to see her reaction.
Everyone could not help but hold their breath. They had never seen such an exciting perfume-making competition. Even many ordinary people were watching now, and this live broadcast instantly became trending.
He Wei, who was filming in Lin City, saw He Miao on her phone and forwarded the video to Zhong Fei and He Feng in shock.
Jing Yan stood on the grandstand on the second floor and looked down at the unmoving girl in the center of the stage. He could not help but feel his heart clench for her.
He Miao waited for Zhou Nan to finish speaking before she raised her eyes and smiled lightly. She did not feel any pressure at all and asked in a very relaxed manner, “If I can prove that I know how to make perfumes, will you be able to abide by the bet and quit the perfume-making industry?”
Zhou Nan’s lips could not help but shiver. The little bit of color that had just returned to her pale face faded away. However, she had no other choice now. Since things had come to this, she had no other choice.
After making up her mind, Zhou Nan raised her neck and said proudly, “Of course, but how do you prove it?”
“It’s simple.” He Miao chuckled. “I saw a lot of ready-made ingredients backstage just now. I can make a fragrance that has never been seen before on the spot. However, time is short, so the color will be much worse than the finished product.”
When she said that, everyone looked at He Miao in disbelief.
Jing Yan smiled and ordered the staff member beside him to make the preparations according to He Miao’s instructions.
The backstage staff quickly moved everything up. Zhou Heng suddenly stood up in disbelief and asked coldly, “Who told you to do this? What’s with the nonsense!”
The staff member immediately lowered his eyes and softly said, “Mr Jing,” then quickly retreated backstage.
No one else could hear what the staff member said, but Zhou Heng heard it clearly. He fell back into his chair completely dispirited, sighed, and closed his eyes. The sideburns on his cheeks seemed to have turned much whiter in an instant.
