Talent

Xu Mingqian leaned into her ear and whispered, "Qingqing, you've heard of the International Fragrance Competition, right? When I went to look for Chief Shen just now, I heard her talking to the counselor. She said that Feng Jianing took two weeks of leave consecutively. It seemed like she was preparing for the International Fragrance Competition, so she didn't come to school today."2

Feng Qing glanced at the empty seat beside Wu Xue. Feng Jianing really hadn't come to class. It looked like what Xu Mingqian said was true. She thought that the incident at the banquet yesterday had dealt her a huge blow and made her too ashamed to come out.

"Okay. What has it got to do with me?" Feng Qing said coldly.

At the mention of the International Fragrance Competition, she couldn't help but think of her aunt, Feng Yiru, and the process of learning how to mix perfume with her when she was young. Although her aunt had died for many years, her gentle and clear eyes had always been fresh in Feng Qing's memory.

"I remember when I was young, in order to prevent mosquitoes from biting while we were playing in the mountains, you casually found a few wild flowers and grass on the mountains and made a sticky protective cream. Although the color was not good, the smell was very fragrant and unique. Later on, when you were playing in the flower valley, you unintentionally came up with something similar to a perfume. Because it was really too fragrant, it even attracted countless bees and butterflies. At that time, it even caused a sensation in the entire village. You even gave the perfume a name. It was called 'Attracting Wind'. You should still remember these things, right?" Xu Mingqian spoke of the past as if he was familiar with it.

Feng Qing nodded and a smile appeared on her face. The scenes of her childhood in the mountains replayed in front of her eyes like a movie.

"I think you should sign up for the International Fragrance Competition. For you to be able to make that kind of perfume under the primitive conditions in the mountains, it shows that you're very talented in this aspect. Although you might not be able to obtain a ranking, I believe you'll definitely perform well." Xu Mingqian continued.

Feng Qing didn't say anything. She casually opened the International Fragrance Competition's official website. To her surprise, the first thing that greeted her eyes was a photo of Feng Jianing. She was the contestant for this year's International Fragrance Competition and was also the ambassador for publicity. After all, she was considered half a member of the entertainment industry.

On the second page was a familiar and amiable face. It was none other than her aunt, Feng Yiru, who had been the highest-level perfume maker in the world. Her story had been circulating throughout the fragrance industry. It was said that the legendary perfume maker, Feng Yiru, had died young because of a serious illness.

However, Feng Qing would forever remember that on the day of Feng Yiru's accident, she had specially instructed her to destroy the perfume recipes, including her perfume notes.

Feng Yiru patted her head and said gently, "Qingqing, you're more talented at making perfume than me. Although you've learned a lot of knowledge on making perfume from me, you must remember Auntie's words. Before you can protect yourself, don't reveal your ability to make perfume in front of the Feng family. You're still young now and don't understand many things. When you grow up, you'll understand Auntie's intentions."

When Feng Yiru said this, her eyes were bloodshot. She knew very well what the Feng family was like. Ever since she became a top-notch perfume maker, the entire Feng family had been like a hungry wolf that had devoured her cleanly, without even leaving behind any bones.

"How is it? Are you interested?" Xu Mingqian asked.

Feng Qing browsed the web for a while more before nodding. "I'm not interested, but since I have nothing to do, I can play."

Seeing that she was finally moved, Xu Mingqian nodded with a smile and returned to his computer to work. He just felt that Feng Qing was talented in this aspect. She should at least give it a try. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful.

Feng Qing pressed the mouse and clicked the registration button. There were still three days until the registration deadline. What Xu Mingqian did not see was that after Feng Qing clicked the registration button, information automatically filled in the registration form and the identity information certification was completed.

In the contestant column, her name was written in the three letters 'YLL'. In the ranking column, it was written 'Nine Planets'. Perfume makers were divided into nine levels. Nine Stars was the highest, which was also a top-notch perfume maker, and they were often called a Nine-Star perfume maker.

After checking and confirming that there were no mistakes, Feng Qing closed the official website and listened attentively to the teacher's lecture…
