"Of the four samples you gave me, I think this one is the best. The first one is made of milk, orange and mint, the second is made of jasmine, lily, honey, and pistachio fruit. It doesn't have any complex flavors, but it's simple, yet it creates a gentle, powdery, exquisite atmosphere.

Three days after receiving the sample, Jin Lixin used the lunch hour to explain to Xi Yaoxin the results of his evaluation.

In order to make it easier to talk, the two of them ate in a quiet restaurant outside.

Just at this time, he continued, "However, there are some ingredients that can be tweaked, improved, such as …"

"Thank you for your advice, let me adjust a bit more." Xi Yaoxin listened and nodded. Jin Lixin had undoubtedly reached the crux of the matter.

Jin Lixin was more experienced than her, and was also strict in his profession, so she trusted him a lot.

"Yaoxin, I noticed that the nearly ten types of natural spices that were used in your sample were all produced by famous foreign spice producing countries." Jin Lixin said as if he was hinting at something.

Xi Yaoxin replied: "So my judgement wasn't wrong. I smell that their origin also came from abroad."

Jin Lixin looked deeply at Xi Yaoxin: "Was it all provided by Jin Yuting? He sent you so many top grade natural spices? "

Xi Yaoxin nodded his head before shaking it, and explained: "It is indeed all provided by him, I cannot afford to buy those top-grade spices. "But this is the agreement we made, he just wanted the perfume I made to be more natural and harmless, and when the perfume was made, it would be returned to him, not to me."

"Do you know anything about him?" Jin Lixin suddenly changed the subject.

Xi Yaoxin shook her head. "I don't know. But that's not important, is it? "

"Why do you say that? Don't you care about his background? " Jin Lixin's eyes were a little complicated.

Xi Yaoxin's eyes revealed a little craftiness, "Do I still need to look at the customer's background for the incense?"

"But he's not just your client, is he?" Jin Lixin's tone became a little hurried.

Xi Yaoxin's heart rippled a little, and calmly said: "Yes, he is just a customer."

"Then what happened that day?" Jin Lixin asked, his eyes a little perturbed.

Xi Yaoxin slightly tilted her face: "There was a misunderstanding on that day, it was nothing much."

When she thought back to the awkward scene of her being kissed by Jin Yuting on the wall that day, she felt extremely embarrassed.

Jin Lixin immediately became agitated, and grabbed onto Xi Yaoxin's hand which was on the table. "Yaoxin, that means you guys don't have any relationship with each other, right?"

At this time, in a private room on the other side, Jin Yuting was having dinner with a customer. Through the empty wooden partition, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Jin Lixin's hand, which was covering Xi Yaoxin's hand.

And just at this moment, he saw Xi Yaoxin withdraw her hand.

Xi Yaoxin was a little unwell, her tone was a little heavy: "Lixin, why are you so agitated?"

Jin Lixin realized that he had lost control of himself and retracted his hand. He looked at Xi Yaoxin apologetically: "Yaoxin, I'm sorry. Now that you have explained the situation, I believe in you. "

Xi Yaoxin felt that something was amiss with Jin Lixin's words, she thought for a while, then understood what the problem was, and said softly: "Lixin, I think it would be better for us to be ordinary friends, I just want to do my work well, moreover, our family levels are different, maybe you should accept our family's blind date, and find a better match."

"Yaoxin, do you really think this way? Obviously Jin Yuting has the same background as me, he even has children. "

Jin Lixin could tell that Xi Yaoxin was gently rejecting him, and her eyes held a look of dejection as well as strong unwillingness.

Xi Yaoxin frowned, she was just about to ask if Jin Lixin and him knew each other, and if there was any personal grudges, as if he had a bad impression of, when her phone suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up and looked, seeing that it was Du Mo calling, she was afraid that she was gossiping, so Jin Lixin got up: "I'm going to pick up a call."

Jin Lixin made a inviting gesture, and then watched Xi Yaoxin walk towards an empty place.

Xi Yaoxin picked up the phone: Du Mo?

"Yaoxin, I found Jin Lixin's background. He really is from a Jin family, the information was sent to your mailbox. Take a look when you have time." Du Mo spoke anxiously, "I have something to take care of here. Forget about it, I'm just afraid that you might fall into it, so I'll let you understand it earlier."

Xi Yaoxin's heart felt a little weird. She subconsciously looked towards Jin Lixin and asked, "What about Jin Yuting?"

"I didn't find anything." Du Mo replied straightforwardly, "I used a lot of contacts, but I couldn't find this person. In this situation, he was either a fake rich man or a particularly mysterious top figure with an unfathomable identity. "I think the latter is more likely to be the case. I'm afraid we can't afford to offend someone like him."

Xi Yaoxin thought for a while, then said: "Du Mo, I know."

"Then I'll be busy. You think about it carefully. Editor-in-Chief Su assigned me to interview a top-grade fresh meat. This person is too hard to serve and can make an appointment with all of you. I promised to come over today. After Du Mo finished speaking, she hurriedly hung up.

Xi Yaoxin kept her phone and stood there for a while, she then calmed down and walked over with a smile: "Lixin, you mean that the only problem with the sample is the one you mentioned earlier, right?"

Xi Yaoxin changed the topic, and it was not good for him to turn back. She could only continue to talk about perfume with her, and after a short discussion, they left the dining hall together.

Xi Yaoxin then found a place to rest and opened the mail sent by Du Mo.

Clan leader Jin Chengze had married three wives in a row, and had admitted to having eight children, of which only five were still alive. Jin Chengze's third wife, Zhou Qiaowen, was born with a dragon and phoenix egg. Amongst them, Jin Lixin was older than her sister by a few hours.

Xi Yaoxin especially looked at the members of the Jin Family twice, including their photos. There was no such name as Jin Yuting, nor was there anyone that looked similar to him in the photos.

She felt that Jin Lixin should know about Jin Yuting's situation, but she thought that if she did not ask about it, they would not have any interactions after the perfume order was completed. Furthermore, if she were to ask Jin Lixin, he would definitely have to make many guesses, and attract some trouble that would not be necessary.

In any case, she had already made up her mind. These two people were not on the same level as her, so she shouldn't think about anything else.
