Chapter 1597 Too Smart



"Miss Kang, you claim to be Mu Jin, so why would you make such a mistake? Could it be that the scenery in your heart fluctuates between hot and cold?"

Everyone could not help but laugh.

Kang Qingzhi's face instantly turned pale. "Bright Moon, you… Why are you saying all this? Even if my perfume is flawed, it can't prove that it's yours."

Qiao Xi glanced at her indifferently. "Miss Kang, don't be agitated. I'm not done."

"Most of the participants would prepare some perfume recipes before the competition and improve them according to the theme. However, Miss Kang actually took out a perfume recipe that was not released five years ago. Moreover, this perfume recipe even deviated from the main theme. Why is that?"

The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth suddenly curled up as she said slowly, "Could it be because Miss Kang only has this one recipe that barely fits the theme of 'scenery'?"

Everyone gasped.

"Bright Moon, you're talking nonsense!" Kang Qingzhi defended herself weakly, her eyes filled with panic.

Everyone understood what Bright Moon meant. Kang Qingzhi's perfume recipe did not match the theme and was flawed. It was understandable if it was written in a hurry before the competition, but this perfume recipe was from five years ago. In the past five years, she should have produced more outstanding works or made some preparations for the theme. Why did she choose an incongruous recipe from five years ago?

There was only one reason, and that was that she had no other choice. It also meant that she did not know how to make perfumes at all!

The jury and Twilight both noticed the flaw in her perfume recipe, but as Mu Jin, Kang Qingzhi did not notice it at all. In that case…

"You're framing me!" Kang Qingzhi's eyes were red as she defended herself aggrievedly. "Everyone has different understandings of the theme. I think this perfume recipe matches the theme very well. I even took out a photo from five years ago!

"Bright Moon, you deliberately chose the same perfume recipe as me to snatch my championship title. You're too despicable!"

Qiao Xi sneered. "Miss Kang, you've misunderstood."

Kang Qingzhi's expression froze, and her heart suddenly thumped violently.

Qiao Xi smiled wantonly with a trace of laziness and carefreeness. "I didn't choose this perfume recipe to compete for the championship. I just wanted to expose you in public!"

Kang Qingzhi's mind buzzed, and her ears seemed to have quietened down.

"Miss Kang, you stole more than 20 of my perfume recipes. In the past five years, you've participated in competitions and released more than ten perfumes in succession. There aren't many recipes left in your hands now. Among the remaining perfume recipes, only Rime matches the theme. Moreover, it'll stand out from the other contestants' perfumes, which can help you gain the upper hand.

"I guessed your thoughts, so I used the same perfume recipe as you. Miss Kang, you thought you were so smart, didn't you?"

The moment that was said, the entire venue was in an uproar. Kang Qingzhi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"That's right! Miss Bright Moon knows so much about Kang Qingzhi's perfume recipe, but Kang Qingzhi doesn't know anything about the flaws in the perfume recipe. Isn't that obvious enough?"

"Shut up!" Kang Jichuan shielded Kang Qingzhi behind him and glared at him. "Bright Moon, can you stop fooling around? Are you really going to ruin Qingzhi?"

Qiao Xi smiled without commenting.

That was right! She wanted to destroy Kang Qingzhi. She wanted the Kang family to know that Kang Qingzhi was the real jinx!

She looked up slightly and said casually, "I guess Miss Kang might say that this is just a coincidence. Well, don't be in a rush to retort. I have other evidence.

"Everyone knows very well that in order to prevent anyone from copying and plagiarizing, high-level perfumers won't announce their formulas. Miss Kang has released more than ten perfume recipes in the past five years, and I have the complete versions of them."

As soon as she finished speaking, more than ten bottles of perfume were sent to the stage.

Qiao Xi casually picked up a bottle and introduced it. "This bottle of perfume was the work of Miss Kang who won the championship two years ago. Miss Kang named it 'Green Jade'. Actually, the agarwood in it should've been changed to lily orchid. Moreover, this bottle of perfume was originally called 'Immortal Land'.

Kang Qingzhi's body trembled. Qiao Xi opened the bottle of 'Immortal Land' in public. Everyone present had smelled Kang Qingzhi's perfume that won the championship. At first, the smell was a little similar, but they gradually realized that this bottle of 'Immortal Land' was even fresher and the smell was higher.

Everyone knew how to make perfumes, so they naturally knew that this bottle of 'Immortal Land' was better than Kang Qingzhi's 'Green Jade'.

Right on the heels of that, Qiao Xi picked up another bottle. "This is Miss Kang's work that won the championship three years ago. Miss Kang called it 'Sunset', but the real name of this bottle of perfume is 'Hot Love'. These two bottles of perfume are also different from the other perfumes."
