Su Yu leaned over and carefully sniffed around the bottle’s mouth. He looked at the judges and Angus in confusion. If he didn’t remember wrongly, he was too familiar with this fragrance. This was the fragrance in the bathroom of the Xie Manor’s master bedroom.
Looking at the judges making a fuss, Su Yu felt disdainful. Wasn’t it just the fragrance in the Xie Manor’s bathroom? What was so great about it?
Angus continued, “I believe the judges have already differentiated the two perfumes. Although these two perfumes are very similar, the post-fragrance of the Moonlight Beauty is very special. It’s completely different from the post-fragrance of Feng Jianing’s perfume. To put it bluntly, the post-fragrance of the Moonlight Beauty is very elegant, but the post-fragrance of Feng Jianing’s perfume is very greasy and vulgar. Compared to the Moonlight Beauty, it’s completely trash.”
With that, Angus carefully put away the Moonlight Beauty. He always carried this perfume with him and treated it as a treasure. It was already very generous of him to take it out and let everyone smell it today.
After doing all of this, he looked at Feng Jianing and continued, “With my many years of experience in mixing perfume, I judge that you don’t know how to mix perfume at all. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have placed the Panacea in it, causing the aftertaste to be so greasy. You couldn’t even correctly say the composition and tone of the perfume. How can this formula be your original composition?”
Under Angus’s question, Feng Jianing’s face turned pale. She subconsciously retreated. This was a sign of guilt. If Angus hadn’t pointed out the key, she wouldn’t have known that she would make such a low-level mistake.
“I, I… No, it’s not like what you said. I was too careless back then, so I placed the wrong oil. I admit that this was my mistake.” In a moment of desperation, Feng Jianing could only continue to be stubborn. “But you can’t accuse me of plagiarizing that whoever YLL’s formula. My formula was derived from my aunt Feng Yiru’s work. If YLL’s Moonlight Beauty is very similar to mine, that can only mean that YLL also borrowed my aunt Feng Yiru’s work.”
At this moment, Charles walked onto the stage. He looked at Feng Jianing and couldn’t help but shake his head. “Miss Feng, you really disappoint us and the International Fragrance Alliance. I didn’t expect that the dignified Nine-Star Fragrance Master, Feng Yiru, would actually have a niece like you. As her close friend, I really feel sorry for her.”
Feng Jianing’s face alternated between green and white. She bit her lips and retorted, “President Charles, please believe me. The formula for this perfume was really derived from my aunt.”
Charles snorted coldly. “Miss Feng, have you forgotten? All the contestants who are participating in the competition have to make a clear label on the formula. If a portion of the raw material comes from a certain brand or person, or you have borrowed it, it has to be shown on the label. However, your formula clearly says that the content of this formula is original. Now, you’re saying that you borrowed it from Master Feng Yiru. Don’t you think it’s contradictory?” With that, he no longer looked at Feng Jianing, as if it would be disgusting to say another word to her. Instead, he turned around and gave Angus a look.
“Now, I announce that Feng Jianing will be disqualified from this year’s championship!” Angus understood and immediately shouted.
“I agree!” Charles took a step forward and agreed with Angus.
The two of them were the leaders of the International Fragrance Alliance. Every International Fragrance Competition, they had the final right to judge and explain. Feng Jianing’s actions had severely affected and destroyed the image of the International Fragrance Alliance. She had to be judged on the spot.
Feng Jianing was dumbfounded. She looked at Charles and Angus in disbelief. She never expected that the two of them would really deprive her of the right to be the champion. The trophy that she had just obtained was gone before she could warm it up?
“No, on what basis are you revoking my qualifications to be the champion? I didn’t plagiarize. I obtained the champion through my own ability.” Feng Jianing wasn’t convinced and said with a sinister expression.
“Miss Feng, I wonder if your aunt, Feng Yiru, has told you that making perfume is a very serious and sacred business. It values the morals of the perfume maker especially, and creativity is the life of the perfume maker. But what you did today can’t escape the eyes of President Charles and me, even if you can fool the judges. Even until now, you still don’t have the slightest intention of repenting. Someone like you is not worthy of being the champion..” Angus said disdainfully.
