1593: Deserved Champion

Deserved Champion

President Mo opened the bottle, and a refreshing and sweet smell spread out. It was as gentle as a young woman's scent, making one unknowingly fall into it.2

"Good! As expected of a perfume recognized by Mr. Twilight. It smells really good! I actually met a genius in this perfume competition. I'll go look for Miss Bright Moon to discuss a collaboration later," President Mo said excitedly.

Kang Jichuan's lips moved. "President Mo, didn't you say that you wanted to collaborate with Kang Corporation?"

"That was my original plan, but Miss Kang's results have already been questioned. If I continue to invest in Kang Corporation, it'll inevitably be risky. It shouldn't be a problem for me to choose someone more outstanding, right?" President Mo had been in the business industry for so many years and naturally knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

In the beginning, he was only prepared to invest in Kang Corporation because of Mu Jin. However, the fact that the Kang family had bribed the judges meant that Miss Kang was not capable enough and did not have the confidence to win the championship. Moreover, the finals were live-streamed this time. If news of this got out, the Kang family's reputation would definitely be affected. The risk of investing in Kang Corporation was too high. He did not need to take this risk.

Everyone looked at Kang Jichuan with ridicule.

"You've already bribed the judges, yet you still want investors to invest in Kang Corporation? Dream on!"

Kang Jichuan's heart felt like it was stuffed with a huge rock, and his breathing was blocked. He wanted to reprimand this group of people, but he did not know how to retort.

He fell onto the chair weakly and looked at the stage with a cold gaze.

Now, the six main judges had all chosen Kang Qingzhi, while Twilight and the 12 jurors had all chosen Bright Moon. Who exactly was the champion?!

Judge Sun immediately stood up. "The jurors' opinions are just a reference. They can't interfere with the final outcome of the competition!"

"But Twilight also chose Bright Moon."

Judge Sun gritted his teeth and retorted, "Twilight said that they're friends. It's normal for him to have selfish intentions."

The jurors smiled. "You guys ate with Kang Qingzhi's family and received expensive gifts from them. Are you considered friends?"

Judge Sun was speechless: "…"

At this moment, Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Kang Qingzhi. She saw that her face was pale and her eyes were red. Her eyes were filled with resentment and horror.

Kang Qingzhi cared a lot about this competition because it involved the Kang Corporation's perfume business. The Kang family had invested so much money. If they lost money because of an adopted daughter, she would not be able to raise her head in the Kang family anymore.

She looked at Kang Jichuan for help with a pitiful expression. Kang Jichuan's heart ached. At the same time, he had an idea.

At this point, he could not show mercy anymore. As long as he posted the news of Qiao Xi secretly stealing the perfume recipes online and talked about what had happened five years ago, would everyone still think that she was the champion? Such an immoral person should not even be qualified to participate in the competition!

This was a little cruel to Xi Xi, but if Xi Xi had not wanted to compete with Qingzhi for the championship, he would not have had to harden his heart and treat her like this.

Xi Xi clearly knew that this perfume competition was very important to the Kang family. It concerned the Kang family's business. If they were not careful, they would lose billions. It was fine if she did not help the Kang family, but she kept causing trouble behind their backs. She was not worthy of pity at all.

At the thought of this, Kang Jichuan made up his mind and sent his assistant a message.

At this moment, the judges were still arguing on the stage. Twilight just stood quietly at the side and looked at Qiao Xi. However, she had an indifferent expression as if she did not care about the championship at all.

Twilight's eyes flickered. Had she never wanted to be the champion?

He chuckled and instantly understood Mrs. Gu's thoughts. How could someone who could become a genius girl in the perfume world care about the title of champion?

However, she was undoubtedly the champion of this competition. Even if she did not want it, they could not let Kang Qingzhi have it easy.

"Everyone," Twilight suddenly said and raised a jade token.

Everyone instantly stopped fighting. The judges had different expressions.

This jade pendant belonged to Madam Leng, the former president of the Perfume Association. The person who had this jade pendant could choose the final champion during a dispute. Twilight took out the jade pendant at this time.

Judge Sun said indignantly, "Mr. Twilight, you can't do this. You're friends with Miss Bright Moon. It's unfair to Miss Kang for you to choose her."

"Oh?" Twilight sneered and looked at the audience. "Do you think it's fair?"

The perfume that President Mo had sent his assistant to bring over had already been distributed to the audience. The refreshing fragrance had already spread. Everyone said in unison, "It's fair!"

"Miss Bright Moon is the champion!"

When Kang Qingzhi heard the deafening sound, her body swayed uncontrollably. She had never thought that she would lose so completely. Even the audience was on Qiao Xi's side.
