Perfumer of the Republic of China

Wen Da didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart. He wanted to go in and have a look, but when he touched the doorknob, he hesitated and turned to leave.

He should not be welcome here.

The news of Wen Huo's injury spread like wildfire. When outsiders heard that this was a domestic dispute in the Wen family, most of them chose to avoid the limelight, and very few people came to visit.

What the Wen family didn't expect was that Qin Feixiang, the second young master of the Qin family, would come to visit Wen Huo during this special period.

When Qin Feixiang arrived, Wen Huo was lying on the bed reading incense books, and a servant was fanning him beside him.

Qin Feixiang laughed when he saw it: "It seems that Young Master Wen is quite enjoying it."

Wen Huo closed the incense stick in his hand abruptly, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Immediately, he suddenly remembered that there was someone beside him, and waved his hand to make the boy retreat, and then showed an indifferent look: "You are not welcome here."

"Tsk tsk, the young master's attitude is really sad. Could it be that you forgot how humble you were when you asked me to change the label that day?"

Wen Huo couldn't care about his injuries anymore, he stared at Qin Feixiang warily: "Second Lord, don't you want to tell this matter?"

Qin Feixiang laughed jokingly: "If I want to say it, can you stop me with your gentleness?"

"Then the second master is here this time..."

"I heard that you were beaten. I was very happy. I just came to have a look. That idiot Wen Da even went to the temple to ask for a health talisman for you. Although his moral character is not good, he really has nothing to say to you as a brother. And you, On the surface, brothers and sisters respect each other, but inside they are turbulent."

At this moment, the mother-in-law of Wen's family saw Wen Da standing in front of Wen Huo's room, and she asked in confusion, "Second Young Master, why don't you go in to see Eldest Young Master?"

Wen Da turned around with a strange expression on his face.

Like anger, like sadness, he crumpled the health talisman in his hand, and tried to smile at the old woman: "It's nothing, I have something else to do, let's go first."

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly thought of something again, and told the mother-in-law: "Don't tell anyone that I have been here."

In the early morning of the next day, the woman in charge was washing clothes in the courtyard, feeling very unhappy. Wen Huo's situation in the mansion these days is very bad, even with her, life is not easy, so he couldn't help but gossip with the little girl: " Guess what I was listening to the other day?"

"Our future is not going to be easy."

"You are still young, if you can think of a way, try to be in front of the second young master. There is no way out with this one in our courtyard."

In the room, Wen Huo heard their conversation clearly.

The girl asked curiously: "Why do you say that, aren't the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master the same?"

"Oh, how can it be the same? There is no blood from the Wen family on this one."

"What?!" The girl's startled voice asked Wen Huo the question hidden in his heart.

"You don't know, the biological mother of our two young masters married into our family with a baby in her arms."

"Tsk!" The girl gasped.

"Hey, this Wen family is full of seeds of infatuation. I don't know where the charm came from, so the head of the Wen family at that time insisted on marrying her."

"No, the master has no choice but to agree."

"Forget it, forget it, the dead are the big ones, we don't care about the past, but you have to look at the things in front of you. I see that the master is ruthless this time, whether he is his grandson or not, he doesn't do it at all." My heart aches, it's better not to stay in this yard with this posture, maybe I will be implicated someday."

Wen Huo didn't understand what he said next, but suddenly he felt the pain on his back sharply.

He gritted his teeth, got up from the bed, stumbled to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, looked at the scars all over his body, and smiled wryly.

It's because he is too stupid, there is no inexplicable partiality and love-hate in this world, it is clear that he has nothing to do with the Wen family, that's why he has been being played like a monkey all the time.

No wonder since childhood, Wen Rulan has only had Wen Da in his eyes. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Wen Rulan knows better than anyone else that he only has such a grandson.

So even if this grandson has a surly temper and is not good at learning, he can still snatch things from Wen Huo with ease.

There was a knock on the door, and Wen Huo looked outside the door instantly, with a strange gleam in his eyes, and his heart sank when he saw the boy who delivered the medicine: "Elder...Eldest young master, this is your medicine."

"Let's put it down." When Wen Huo said this, his voice was hoarse, with a feeling different from the past.

"Yes... yes..." Facing such warmth, the servant became nervous for no reason.

It will be two months before Wen Huo fully recovers from his injuries.

Wen Da never came to visit him again, and he was also relieved.It is too tiring to maintain the image of a good brother during illness.

On the contrary, he likes to be alone, quiet.

Of course, there was still a secret regret in his heart. Before he was injured, he had no chance to meet the owner of that silk handkerchief.

He should wait for the injury to heal, and then go to Lido.

When Wen Huo was about to recover from his injury, Liu Yanhuan and Qin Feiran had already returned from France, and the two of them had agreed to choose a day to live together.

Liu Yanhuan didn't have many things to carry, the most valuable things were various perfume samples and manuscripts of incense prescriptions.

Qin Feiran vacated a workshop for him in the house.

As soon as Liu Yanhuan opened the door of the working room, he was shocked by the cold white wall and the brown solid wood desk.

It's an extremely rigid arrangement.

Not only does this room exude an atmosphere of abstinence, but the layout of the whole house is also very deserted.

Liu Yanhuan looked at the house carefully, determined to leave traces of herself bit by bit.

For example, the green radishes he brought from home have settled on the window sills of the new house, and the soft cushions have also become standard equipment for solid wood sofas.

It's like Qin Feiran's fierceness combined with Liu Yanhuan's softness.

On this day, Liu Yanhuan was reading a book at home when the doorbell suddenly rang outside.

I saw Guo Bin standing outside, directing the workers to move things inside.

Liu Yanhuan watched the big solid wood bed being brought in from the outside, but didn't react for a while.

"This is……"

Guo Bin scratched his head: "Young Master Liu, the third master said that the bed in the master bedroom is too narrow to handle things."

Liu Yanhuan had no choice but to lower his eyebrows, pretending to be serious about reading, but when he saw another big bed brought in from outside, he still couldn't help asking: "Why...there is another one?"

"The third master said, one is not enough, two are spliced ​​together, enjoy yourself."

Liu Yanhuan wished she could just paste the book on Qin Feiran's face.

After the two big beds were finished, Liu Yanhuan tried his best to maintain a decent smile, and waited until everyone had left before closing the door with a "bang".

He wiped his blushing face, confronted the big bed in the room for ten seconds, then jumped on it, rolling over like a child.

When he buried his head in the mattress, the phone in the room rang at the right time, and Liu Yanhuan grabbed the receiver. Under the circumstances, Qin Feiran's voice was self-evidently sexy: "Come down, I'll take you to the company."

Liu Yanhuan looked down from the balcony, Qin Feiran's car was waiting steadily below.

After getting into the car and buckling up the seat belt, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Qin Feiran opened the window slightly and asked, "It's your first day at work, are you nervous?"

"Well, I'm quite nervous." Liu Yanhuan looked at Qin Feiran's side face, "However, I have confidence and am not afraid of any challenges."

Qin Feiran stopped the car: "At this time, I will give you an encouragement." After speaking, he leaned forward and kissed Liu Yanhuan's lips.

Kissing in front of the building of Meng Sansheng Company, Liu Yanhuan clearly saw the people coming and going outside the car window.

It's like kissing in public.

After the initial tension dissipated, he couldn't help but circle Qin Feiran's neck.

Every kiss between the two is like a silent contest, everyone wants to prolong it infinitely, but they still have to separate to return to reality.

"Still nervous?" Qin Feiran asked behind Liu Yanhuan's ear.

"No... um..."

Qin Feiran smiled, and stretched out his hand to straighten Liu Yanhuan's tie: "Go."

Liu Yanhuan got out of the car with a blushing face, her whole body exuded the aftertaste of love.

He was so intoxicated by the situation just now that he couldn't come back to his senses, until he heard a voice next to his ear: "Eldest Young Master."

Liu Yanhuan raised her eyes and was amazed by the boy in front of her.

That was Yun Sheng who had taken off his costume. He put on a modified Chinese tunic suit with a delicate face, like a fledgling college student.

Liu Yan laughed happily: "Here we come, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No...no..." Yun Sheng's eyes dodged a bit.

Seeing Liu Yanhuan walking in, she hastily followed.

"Master, this... This is a gift for you. Congratulations on your victory."

Liu Yanhuan opened the brocade box and saw a royal blue concentric knot inside.

Yun Sheng stammered and said: "I... don't have any skills. After much deliberation, only this concentric knot is better. Of course it can't compare with Qin Sanye's gift, but I..."

Liu Yanhuan looked up at him abruptly, Yun Sheng was nervous, and all words were blocked in her throat.

"It's beautiful, you took the trouble." Liu Yanhuan thanked him politely, he glanced at his watch, "Hurry up, the appointed time is here."

When Liu Yanhuan stepped into the Mengsansheng Building, he realized how rich it was.Different from the antique flavor of Shaohua Xiangfang, the interior furnishings of Meng Sansheng have a combination of tradition and modern beauty.

There is also a reception desk on the spacious first floor. As soon as Liu Yanhuan and Yun Sheng entered, the guy at the front desk smiled and said, "This is Young Master Liu, Sister Fan has ordered that if you come, go directly to the president's office on the sixth floor. "

"Thank you." Liu Yanhuan took the elevator to the sixth floor, and Fan Meng's office was at the end of the corridor.

The two carved wooden doors were slightly closed, Liu Yanhuan knocked lightly on them, and heard a soft female voice responding: "Come in."

He pushed open the door, and saw Fan Meng wearing a striped short-sleeved cheongsam, sitting on a broad-backed chair.

"You are welcome." Seeing them coming in, Fan Meng smiled, "Yun Sheng, I will ask the secretary to take you to the office, Yan Huan, follow me."

Liu Yanhuan and Fan Meng sat opposite each other, looking at the clear tea soup in front of them.

"Yan Huan, now you have officially become a member of the company, because you are the chief perfumer, so I need to know your thoughts on the Meng Sansheng perfume brand."

"To tell you the truth, the trip to France gave me a lot of inspiration. At present, the recognition of foreign perfumes by Chinese people is not enough, and the popularity of perfumes is relatively weak. In this case, the first thing we need to do is to develop the original customer base, and then gradually expand."

"In view of Meng Sansheng's clothing design concept, the Shanghai-style cheongsam is originally a clothing with oriental characteristics. In order to match the clothing, I suggest that the first high-end perfume be the main high-end perfume. brand effect."

Fan Meng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"In the production of high-end lines, the most important thing is creativity and quality. Of course, creativity refers to the uniqueness of the brand style, while quality refers to the materials, production process and production packaging of perfume."

"Therefore, in my vision, the output of the high-end line does not need to be large. The important thing is that the materials used in each bottle must come from natural essences."

"The cost price is relatively high, but as long as this shot is fired, the brand independence of Mengsansheng will be formed."

"After the high-end line is stabilized, we can use aldehydes to prepare fragrances and develop mid-end lines. The raw material residues after dry distillation can be used in the production of daily chemical essences such as soaps and shower gels."

"Just like the production of cheongsam, silk and satin are used for banquets, and cotton and linen are used for daily use."

Fan Meng smiled: "I really did not misunderstand the person. Meng Sansheng never made a cheongsam for self-admiration. Clothes are made for people to wear. Of course incense is also for people to use. How to balance its texture and practicality? It's your first consideration."

Liu Yanhuan nodded and said, "I understand."

Fan Meng stood up: "I'll take you to see the company's exhibition hall."

Meng Sansheng's exhibition hall is built on the second floor of the building. The exhibits range from the first custom-made cheongsam with inverted sleeves to the current high-necked cheongsam.The cheongsam samples hanging in the glass window have witnessed the development history of Mengsansheng.

The designers of Mengsansheng have carefully set up the second floor as a model commercial street, and every window is named after the name of the branch.Liu Yanhuan roughly counted, and now there are four Mengsansheng cheongsam stores in Ningcheng and Shencheng.

The design style of each store is also different. For example, in the store in Shanghai, people generally like the elegant collar shape with a single button.Therefore, the cheongsam displayed in the window has also been changed according to the fashion that people like.

At the same time, Ningcheng's customers were still in love with the traditional ingot collar, the high collar with three rows of buttons, showing a confident and proud look of women, so most of Ningcheng's shop windows were cheongsams with ingot collar.

For the rest, such as fabrics, tailoring styles, etc., each window has subtle differences.

Liu Yanhuan exclaimed: "Meng Sansheng's cheongsam can achieve today's achievements, which are closely related to the designer's intentions. If a perfume brand wants to achieve such achievements, it must carefully consider it."

Fan Meng nodded and said: "I have ordered you to contact me about the extraction equipment, raw material planting, and semi-finished product processing that you mentioned to me earlier. You don't have to worry, just concentrate on fragrance blending." Follow Liu Yanhuan into the laboratory.

In the laboratory, there are a variety of instruments and basic raw materials. Liu Yanhuan tried on the white lab coat, and Fan Meng asked with a smile, "How is it? Does it still fit?"

"very suitable."

As soon as the voice fell, the lights in the laboratory suddenly went out.

Liu Yanhuan turned around suspiciously, and saw a few people pushing a cake, walking towards him slowly from the side door.

"Welcome Young Master Liu." The candles on the cake were flickering, especially bright in the darkness.

Liu Yanhuan's memory coincided with his previous life. He remembered that in his previous life, when he first joined Jinghuayuan, his colleagues in the group did the same, pushing a strawberry cake called pure plant whipped cream to welcome him, and shouting: "Welcome boss!" .”

It's a pity that after the air crash, Liu Yanhuan didn't even have time to say goodbye.

When the lights came on again, Liu Yanhuan carefully looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him.

"Yan Huan, from today onwards, they are all your assistants and subordinates. They all have basic knowledge of fragrance mixing. For example, Yu Fei and Lin Li are part-time students who are currently studying in the Art Department of Ningcheng University; Sun Jun , you met at a competition before, and you are also a young perfumer. He admires your talent and is now a member of the company. As for Yun Sheng, you recommended him as an apprentice. I hope you can make good use of it Based on the foundation of the team, create a classic perfume in the industry as soon as possible.”

"I understand." Liu Yanhuan nodded and replied.

Fan Meng left the laboratory, and she gave Liu Yanhuan full control over the rest of the time.

Liu Yanhuan looked at the longing-eyed new colleague in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone, do you know what are the most important qualities for a perfumer?"

Yu Fei was the only girl in the group, she was very lively, she smiled immediately after hearing this, "I know, first of all, you must have a keen sense of smell, and you must be able to recognize many fragrant materials."

Sun Jun also said: "Dare to try and practice hard."

Liu Yanhuan looked at Yun Sheng standing behind: "Yun Sheng, what do you think?"

"I...I don't know." Yun Sheng didn't pay attention to what everyone was talking about just now, he just thought that Liu Yanhuan in a white coat was too good-looking.

Liu Yanhuan picked up the roster: "What you just said is indeed very important, but I personally think that as a perfumer, the most important thing is to be able to perceive the emotions of others."

"Perfume is a kind of embellishment and sustenance for customers. Everyone has different personalities, different circumstances, and different tastes of love. What we have to do is to help customers restore their hearts when receiving every order. of that dream."

"It is not a wise choice to blindly pursue the complexity of the formula if you just keep your head on the fragrance."

Looking at the focused eyes in front of her, Liu Yanhuan clapped her hands and said, "Okay, now let's get to know each other."

"I'm Liu Yanhuan. From today onwards, I will work with you to develop Meng Sansheng's flagship perfume. In my team, I don't like to talk about it. Everyone can come up with any ideas."

"My name is Yu Fei. I'm a sophomore in Ningcheng University. My major is art. I'm very interested in making fragrances. I usually practice making fragrances at home. I'm also a loyal fan of Meng Sansheng cheongsam. "

"My name is Lin Li. Like Yu Fei, I'm a third-year student at Ningcheng University, majoring in sociology. I've had a particularly keen sense of smell since I was a child. In order not to waste my talent, I decided to learn perfumery."

"I am Sun Jun. I have studied abroad before. I am very interested in perfumery. I have also read related books and have internship experience in foreign companies." Sun Jun extended his hand and shook Liu Yanhuan. Raw competition, I admire your ability."

After everyone finished the introduction, their eyes finally focused on Yun Sheng.

"I……"

Sun Jun stared at Yun Sheng's face for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Boss Yun, I saw your play in the 'Peng Lai' troupe before, and I was quite amazed."

"I……"

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Liu Yanhuan simply answered for him: "He is Yunsheng. He was indeed singing in the 'Penglai' troupe before, but now he has left Liyuan to come to Meng Sansheng as an apprentice. Sun Jun, you have experience in perfumery before, Yunsheng There is no foundation, and everything has to be learned from the beginning, so you can take him with you when you have time."

Sun Jun stared at Yun Sheng, and smiled playfully: "Of course, since we work together, it is fate."

Yun Sheng usually wears oil paint in the troupe, laughing and cursing without stage fright, but here she is extremely restrained.

Sun Jun's eyes made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he still smiled politely.

"Let's have some cake first, then go back to the office to pack up your things, and work will officially start tomorrow. It's the first time we meet, and I'll invite you all to have a meal at Zuixianlou tonight."

After get off work, a group of people came to Zuixianlou. It was lunch time, and Zuixianlou was full of people.After Liu Yanhuan finished ordering, he raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's toast to our acquaintance."

As soon as the words fell, two eyes looked over from a distance.

Wen Da recognized Liu Yanhuan, and his expression turned cold immediately: "Why is he here?"

Wen Huo ate bland dishes, he had just recovered from his injuries, so he couldn't touch big meat yet.

Hearing Wen Da's words, he smiled palely: "Have you heard? Liu Yanhuan has been very popular recently, and Meng Sansheng's chief perfumer is very famous."

Wen Da glanced at Wen Huo: "They will launch their first incense soon. Meng Sansheng's cheongsam is very famous. If they are allowed to make incense, they will be our most difficult opponents."

Wen Huo nodded: "You're right, but what can we do, after all, Meng Sansheng is rich and powerful, and the cost of advertising alone is not something we can match."

"Damn, this is too embarrassing. We are afraid of what they will do? The customer base for so many years is not built. I just want to launch fragrances with them at the same time."

Wen Huo chuckled.

Wen Da looked at him suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

"What if we launch the same fragrance as them?"

"The same fragrance?" Wen Da was puzzled.

"Meng Sansheng's first fragrance, if it crashes with us from fragrance to packaging, what do you think customers will think?"

Wen Da's eyes darkened: "You mean...creative plagiarism."

"That's what I mean."

Wenda threw the peanuts into his mouth: "But... how can we know the formula of their first perfume?"

Wen Huo glanced in Liu Yanhuan's direction, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
