Floating Perfume Shop

Chapter 5 Veto

Zhou Tianhao casually flipped through the rematch list, but suddenly stopped.

"December"

Perfumer: Zhang Song

Registration City: City C

December?Duplicate name coincidence?

It can't be such a coincidence.

"Give me this contestant's work."

The female assistant quickly took out a copy from a large stack of documents and handed it over.

Zhou Tianhao looked at each formula carefully, his expression becoming more and more serious.

It is definitely not a coincidence, this is the sample I bought in that small perfume shop.

The aroma is much more beautiful than before, and it can be seen that the perfumer has made more subtle changes in the formula.The herbaceous fragrance becomes lighter and lighter, making the subsequent sweet fragrance more warm.If the previous "December" fragrance was too rough to make people know it was a novice at a glance, the current work is soft and round, very close to the technique of an experienced perfumer.This is a mature work.

No wonder when I bought it, the student in the store said it was a semi-finished product.

But Zhou Tianhao's understanding could only stop there.

An excellent perfumer can "smell" the work that has not been prepared just by looking at the recipe. This is the olfactory imagination that senior perfumers are proud of.After smelling thousands of raw materials and launching dozens of successful products, you can "smell" the taste of the finished product that does not exist just by looking at the recipe list.Not every perfumer has this ability, and Zhou Tianhao believes that he is the top among domestic counterparts in terms of olfactory imagination.If he ranks second, then no one can think of who can rank first.

As for this recipe, there is something he can't "smell".

A perfume uses three fixatives at the same time, why?Moreover, there is a big difference between the amount of two essential oils used and the amount commonly used in the industry.On the one hand, this can be understood as the personality of the perfumer, and on the other hand - it is they that constitute the "reincarnation" of this perfume.

Knowing the recipe doesn't mean you can make the same recipe.Perfume is a wonderful and sensitive thing. The time of shaking in the preparation process, the number of heating times, and even the difference in the region where the fragrance is sourced can make your imitation completely different from the original.Zhou Tianhao knew that even if he took this formula, he still couldn't make Xiao Chongyun's "reincarnation" back then.

He remembered Xiao Chongyun's name in Ji Fangdan Ruole.

Shaw of the East.

Genius Shaw.

Handsome Shaw.

Every name is meant to be a joke, but Zhou Tianhao knew that they were easily spoken by Ji Fangdan Ruole's geniuses, and he already had a kind of approval.

I agree with Xiao Chongyun and the oriental culture represented behind him.

Why did this person quit his own stage after returning to China for a year?

Zhou Tianhao tightened his palms.

Why did you turn around and leave when I finally entered a world with you?

Not even a decent reason?

"boss?"

Zhou Tianhao handed over Zhang Song's entry form and said with a smile, "Sorry, Emma, ​​I want to check someone."

He put away his smile: "I want to know everything from his birth to the present. Check it out for me thoroughly. I will read the report the day after tomorrow."

The female assistant, named Emma, ​​is a D-cup beauty with curly hair. She is capable and beautiful in a gray professional suit, and she is a career-first type.It is said that the sound of her high heels broke the hearts of half of the company's male suitors.She has followed Zhou Tianhao for three years, and her ability and professionalism are quite outstanding. She knows when to flirt, when to ask questions, and when to just keep her mouth shut and do things.But now, she doesn't understand what the boss thinks.

"By the way, about this contestant..." After hesitating for a moment, she said, "He may be disqualified."

"Oh?"

"A perfumer in Asher has exercised 'veto power' against him."

The Perfume Newcomer Show is an event jointly organized by the four major domestic perfume brands. The organizers are Lotus, Yashe, Mingqingtang and Baili.The only place the four competing brands have joined forces is at the Fragrance Rookie Show.In this situation where there is a severe shortage of excellent perfumers, each party wants to tap potential newcomers in this competition.Maybe if you are not careful, you will meet a new Jacques Cavallier who concocts "Water of Life".In order to achieve a certain compromise in talent selection, the four organizers made an agreement: the organizers of each rookie show competition will recommend a senior perfumer as a judge.The senior perfumer has the right to veto a contestant's right to enter the semi-finals on behalf of the company-this is called the veto right.

That's why the organizing committee showed Zhou Tianhao the semi-final list before it was announced to the media.The list will not be published in the most influential fragrance and makeup magazines until the judges from all four sides confirm that they are correct.

The backgrounds of the contestants are complicated, so since the rookie show was held, no judge has really used the "veto power".

"The perfumer who vetoed is Ms. Cheng Yuan from Yashe, here are the reasons for vetoing." Emma handed over a document.

"Cheng Yuan? Is that the... little lady of the Cheng family who has been making spices in Nanyang?" Zhou Tianhao raised his head suddenly: "Emma, ​​help me book a ticket to City A!"

"Boss, you are going to attend the celebration dinner of the No. [-] sales volume of 'To the Ocean' tonight. Mr. Zhao has invited important guests, so you can't miss the roll call." The female assistant straightened her back.

"That must be tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning you are going to launch a new autumn product launch event, and then record a personal video to promote the company. Reporters from two magazines have made appointments for interviews from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] pm, and dinner is scheduled to meet our overseas partners at Gingko Golden Pavilion Hotel ..." Emma took out her notepad and finished reading in one breath: "The morning after tomorrow——"

"Push it off."

"But……"

Zhou Tianhao smiled, raised his hand to stop her: "I can't handle things of this level, why should I hire you?"

He watched Emma go out bitterly, and dialed Su Lan's cell phone again.

"Oh, do me a favor. Please help me to participate in the autumn new product promotion meeting. I have a private matter to go."

Su Lan slammed her phone: "Take me as an errand again!"

He was still in Yunnan, squatting on the edge of the flower field watching the newly planted iris seedlings in autumn, and picked up his phone: "What's wrong?"

"The perfumer of 'December' participated in the perfume rookie show and entered the semi-finals. Cheng Yuan used the veto power against him."

"What does that have to do with you not participating in the promotion?"

"Cheng Yuan," Zhou Tianhao said, "The Cheng family and Xiao Chongyun's father's family are family friends."

Autumn is deep, and the rainy weather has become more and more.It has been raining for several days, and there is a damp smell in the air.Xiao Chongyun felt a dull pain from his old injury when it rained, and he was unwilling to get up in the warm quilt in the lounge in the back hall.Zhang Song had no class in the morning, so he came early, without waking up the boss, and wiped the perfume bottle behind the counter by himself.

It was just past nine o'clock when someone stepped into the store against the light.

The person who came was tall, wearing a blue and white striped long-sleeved casual shirt, his coat was taken off and casually put on his hands.The bridge of the nose is straight and straight, and the lines on the face are tough, as if cut out by a knife, with a somewhat handsome taste.He supported the counter with his hands, and smiled like a spring breeze: "I want to see your boss."

The little devil didn't even look up: "The boss isn't here, what's the matter?"

If Zhou Tianhao wants to be my employee, he must be fired.

He took out a vial with a blue stopper, and said righteously: "Tell your boss to come out, I want to return the product."

Zhang Song entered the back hall and found that Xiao Chongyun had already gotten up, leaning on the rattan chair with his legs crossed, reading an I8 banned adult magazine.After autumn, Xiao Chongyun lost a lot of weight due to old injuries, giving people a cool feeling.At this time, the rising sun coated his figure with a layer of soft gold, which eased the cold scene.

"Someone wants to return the product. He said his name is Zhou Tianhao, the perfumer of ToTheOcean, you may have heard his name."

"Let him give the receipt."

"Our store never issues receipts to customers." The little ghost said, "I said you were not here."

Xiao Chongyun praised him: "Well said. Tell the guests that I am in Yunnan now, where a batch of iris curd has just passed the aging period of three years, and the taste is good. I will go to see the goods."

After a while the kid came in again.Xiao Chongyun didn't raise his head: "Leaving?"

"I returned it."

"He came to return the sample of 'December'. You seemed unhappy after I sold it last time, so I agreed with him to return it. The price will be deducted from my salary." The kid said blankly: "The man hasn't left yet , insisting on talking to you. I'll deal with it."

Xiao Chongyun stopped him: "Remember, you are the perfumer of 'December'. If someone asks you who taught you how to make this kind of circular perfume, tell him that you have no comment. Dare to say My name, a bonus of 100 yuan will be deducted."

Zhou Tianhao waited for a full quarter of an hour before he saw the kid come out with a dark face: "Our boss really went to Yunnan to see spices."

"It's really interesting. A friend of mine was looking at the same batch of goods. Why didn't I hear that there were two buyers?" Zhou Tianhao leaned leisurely on the counter, without any intention of leaving: "Your name is Zhang Song, and you signed up. This time the national perfume rookie show, isn't it?"

Seeing a flash of surprise on the face of the paralyzed kid, he secretly smiled and handed over a business card: "My name is Zhou Tianhao, the judge of the semi-finals. I have something to check with you about the entries. If you don't cooperate, you will lose the entry." qualifications."

Zhang Song nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Tianhao asked the first question: "Who is the perfumer of 'December'?"

"I."

"Isn't your boss Xiao Chongyun?"

"not him."

"Our boss' name is not Xiao Chongyun!" He quickly corrected.

After all, the kid is not seasoned enough, Zhou Tianhao has already confirmed his conjecture.

"Well, I know your boss's name is not Xiao Chongyun. Please tell the boss a story for me. I came here to participate in the Lotus new product launch two months ago, and I seemed to see an acquaintance at the venue. He used to be a student of the Glass Perfume School. Genius, the new darling of the perfume industry in Paris. But the understanding of him in the domestic fashion circle is only in the rematch work "Secret" when he returned to China to participate in the perfume rookie show-it seems to be melancholy, ambiguous, and whispering. But he once I once joked that I can complete ten such simple works in one day." Zhou Tianhao shook his finger at Zhang Song: "Help me ask your boss, where is that talented 'Xiao Dongfang' now?"

He took out a business card from his business card holder, held it between two fingers and kissed it, and handed it over with frivolous and smooth movements: "Last time Su Lan gave your boss a business card. My cell phone number. Please your boss throw away that one and keep this new one."

You must call me, Xiao Chongyun.

Zhou Tianhao walked out of Fusheng Perfume Shop, the corners of his mouth curled up.He dialed the assistant's phone: "How's the promotion of the new perfume show?"

"It started three months ago, and the response is very good." Emma replied: "Do you want to contact friends in the media?"

"I will send an invitation card to these reporters at the reception tomorrow night... Just say that I have first-hand inside information about the rookie show, and ask them if they want it. Yes, it's about Cheng Yuan exercising his veto power... "

Emma felt that she should show concern for her boss at this time: "Boss, did you meet your friend?"

"The door was rejected." Zhou Tianhao shrugged: "He doesn't want to see anyone."
