The Wife I Picked Up Is Too Fierce

Feng Jianing’s expression darkened. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Feng Qing look at her and smile evilly. “There’s nothing between us anymore. Aren’t you a little too shameless to come and rub off my popularity?”

“You, what nonsense are you talking about? How did I take advantage of your popularity?” Feng Jianing’s face turned pale as she tried her best to explain.

Hearing her denial, Feng Qing smiled faintly and waved her hand, signaling her to stand aside. “If you’re not here to gain attention, stay away from me. Don’t block the photographer from taking photos of me.”

Feng Jianing : “…”

She subconsciously turned around and saw that there was really a cameraman taking photos of Feng Qing with a camera, and she was blocking the cameraman.

“Hmph, so be it. What’s the big deal?” Feng Jianing took a step to the side and mumbled, but she was extremely angry in her heart. Feng Qing’s reputation was indeed much better than hers now. However, she didn’t admit defeat. She had to win the Fragrance Competition’s champion and return to the public eye as a ‘talented girl’.

Looking at Feng Qing smiling gently at the camera lens, a cold smile appeared on Feng Jianing’s face. She felt that Feng Qing had been living too smoothly recently, so she thought too highly of herself. Although Feng Qing was quite popular now, there was no need for her to rub off on her popularity. At least, she disdained to do so.

Feng Qing, just you wait. I’ll definitely suppress you in the Fragrance Competition this time. Feng Jianing thought viciously.

She had to admit that Feng Qing’s talent in perfume was great as it was confirmed by Feng Yiru. However, it was precisely because she didn’t have talent that after Feng Yiru died, she became a disciple of many perfume teachers and learned a lot of professional perfume-making knowledge. Compared to that, Feng Qing had grown up in the countryside and had little contact with Feng Yiru. Later on, she left home and went wild for so many years. She probably had forgotten the most basic method of making perfume.

No matter how talented Feng Qing was, it was impossible for her to beat her in making perfume without practice for so many years. Moreover, she still had the notes Feng Qing had left in the iron box. What made her the most confident was that she had already established her own perfume brand this year and had a certain market. Feng Qing could not catch up to this.

With the host’s introduction, the entire competition venue fell silent. The contestants returned to their seats, and the audience stretched their necks in anticipation.

“Next, let us invite the ten judges who will be taking part in this year’s competition to take their seats. We would like to introduce the specially invited judge for this year’s Fragrance Competition. He is Mr. Su Yu, the secretary of the Capital’s Xie Corporation. Let us welcome him with the most enthusiastic applause!” The host said enthusiastically, pushing the atmosphere to the peak.

Upon hearing the two names Su Yu and the Xie Corporation, many of the audience below the stage started whispering. If they didn’t know these two names, it would mean that they had never been in the Capital. The Xie Corporation was the place that the one couldn’t afford to offend in the Capital, and Su Yu was Xie Jiuhan’s spokesperson. Most of the time, his words and actions represented Xie Jiuhan.

Duke Raymond looked at Su Yu, who was sitting in the middle of the judges’ seats. A fierce look flashed across his eyes, but he looked abnormally calm on the surface. Su Yu’s seat originally belonged to him, but his qualifications were temporarily revoked. This must be Xie Jiuhan’s idea behind it, which meant that Xie Jiuhan no longer tolerated him.

“Finally, let us welcome Charles, the president of the International Fragrance Alliance, who came from Country F, and Angus, the vice president of the International Fragrance Alliance, with the hottest applause. Please take your seats in the viewing area!” The host said.

Accompanied by pleasant music, Charles and Angus attended the viewing area amidst enthusiastic applause. The audience who knew the International Fragrance Competition discussed.

“What’s going on this year? According to the usual practice, didn’t the two of them only come out in the grand finals?”

“Needless to say, they obviously value the competition very much. They probably received news in advance that some seeded players are participating.”

“This is going to be fun.. With these two old guys here, this year’s competition will definitely be quite exciting.”
