Chapter 8: Vixen

When Lu Yunshang arrived at the studio, Liu Jingting was on the phone in his office, looking particularly happy.

He gestured for Lu Yunshang to wait, and after making an appointment with the person on the phone, he hung up.

He smiled at Lu Yunshang, “President Fu’s secretary is very efficient. They’ve already submitted our names, and we can participate in the bidding meeting.”

Lu Yunshang nodded and asked Liu Jingting, “What’s the theme of the new perfume this time?”

“Secretary Liu said there’s no theme, it’s up to the perfumer’s discretion.”

“No theme?” Lu Yunshang frowned. No theme wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

“Yunshang, I trust you. I’ll inform everyone later. The whole company will cooperate with you, prioritizing this bidding meeting.”

Lu Yunshang shook her head, “Don’t let others know for now. I’ll think about it myself first.”

“Okay, then let Tiantian and Xiao Ke assist you.”

Leaving Liu Jingting’s office, Lu Yunshang went to the perfume room to prepare a few bottles of perfume for Fu Changqing.

Tiantian and Xiao Ke quickly ran over and asked Lu Yunshang if they could learn from her.

Lu Yunshang was happy to teach. She instructed Xiao Ke to find five perfume bottles to make a series.

Then she asked Tiantian to find the ingredients she wanted, explaining the theme and formula of the perfume as she blended it.

The five perfumes were suitable for different occasions: work meetings, sports, evening banquets, parties, and one to spray on bedding for better sleep.

Tiantian and Xiao Ke quickly took notes, their eyes wide with wonder.

The five perfumes were blended in just an hour. Tiantian and Xiao Ke were amazed at Lu Yunshang’s skill, praising her as a genius. Lina, however, was unhappy, rolling her eyes repeatedly.

Lu Yunshang carefully packaged the five perfumes and prepared to contact Liu Jingting to arrange a time to deliver them to Fu Changqing’s secretary.

As she reached the lobby, she saw the receptionist leading two women in.

“Lu Yunshang!” one of the women shrieked.

Lu Yunshang stopped. It was Fu Yueyue.

And Xiao Nianzhen.

Xiao Nianzhen was also quite surprised to see Lu Yunshang, “Sister, what are you doing here?”

Fu Yueyue saw Lu Yunshang carrying a gift bag and said, “It goes without saying, she’s here to customize perfume, just like us. Lu Yunshang, you’re divorced from my brother, and you still have the mood to customize perfume?”

Divorce?

Lina, who was eavesdropping nearby, heard the word “divorce” and her eyes lit up.

She recognized Fu Yueyue as the daughter of the Fu family, a wealthy family in Huacheng. Fu Yueyue’s brother was the young master of the Fu family.

Oh my god, she had discovered a shocking secret. Lu Yunshang was a discarded woman from a wealthy family.

Lina wanted to immediately run back to the perfume room and spread the news to her colleagues.

But she felt there was something more important to do.

She straightened her clothes and went to greet Fu Yueyue, “Miss Fu, long time no see. Are you here to customize perfume? Our newly appointed chief perfumer is here, Miss Lu.”

“What? She’s a perfumer?” Fu Yueyue showed disgust.

“Is your boss blind? She hires anyone, even a chief perfumer? It’s hilarious.”

Xiao Nianzhen’s eyes twinkled, and she pulled Fu Yueyue, “Yueyue, don’t say that. Maybe Sister Yunshang is really amazing. Let’s ask her to help us make perfume today. Thank you, Sister Yunshang.”

Fu Yueyue looked at Xiao Nianzhen incredulously, “Sister-in-law, are you stupid? She’s my brother’s ex-wife! You’re not angry, and you still want to ask her to make perfume? Good people are bullied, don’t you understand?”

Lu Yunshang couldn’t take it anymore, “Fu Yueyue, who is bullying who? Did I steal someone’s husband while pregnant? You better watch your mouth.”

Lina covered her mouth, her eyes wide.

“Lu Yunshang!” Fu Yueyue said angrily, “So what if Sister Nianzhen is pregnant? Sister Nianzhen knew my brother long ago. If it weren’t for you butting in, Sister Nianzhen would have married my brother long ago.”

Lina’s hair stood on end. This was too exciting and too messy. Rich people were too playful.

Lu Yunshang glanced at Lina, not wanting to continue, and retorted to Fu Yueyue, “Do you really think everyone wants your brother?”

Fu Yueyue wanted to retort, but Xiao Nianzhen stopped her, “Okay, Yueyue, don’t say it. There are a lot of people here.”

She gestured to Lina with her eyes, “We’re here to customize perfume… Sister Yunshang, sorry, can you please make perfume for us?”

Lu Yunshang looked sideways at Xiao Nianzhen, “Of course, why not make money if I can? But I’ll state the price first. Custom-made, 100,000 yuan per bottle, no returns or exchanges. If you two think it’s suitable, please pay first.”

“What?” Fu Yueyue’s face turned pale with anger, “Lu Yunshang, are you robbing us?”

“Then Miss Fu thinks it’s unsuitable. Please leave. I’m very busy and don’t have time to waste with you.”

Lu Yunshang turned to leave.

“Wait, 100,000 yuan is 100,000 yuan,” Fu Yueyue said, “Sister Nianzhen, take out the black gold card my brother gave you. My brother loves Sister Nianzhen so much. He said Sister Nianzhen can swipe it at will.”

Xiao Nianzhen looked embarrassed, but also wanted to show off to Lu Yunshang, so she nodded in agreement.

Lu Yunshang knew Fu Yueyue wanted to provoke her, but she wasn’t upset at all. Two big fat sheep, two bottles of perfume for 200,000 yuan, enough to take the studio staff out for a few days. Only a fool would refuse.

“Then please pay first. I’ll make the perfume for you. Do you have any requirements?”

“No requirements. Sister, you can make it as you see fit,” Xiao Nianzhen said.

Lina was dumbfounded, her mouth agape. 200,000 yuan? Lu Yunshang was crazy, daring to charge such a high price.

The key was, was Fu Yueyue’s brain broken?

She actually agreed.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Yunshang returned with two bottles of perfume, handing each of them a scent strip.

“So fast?”

Fu Yueyue took the scent strips, opened the two bottles of perfume, sprayed a little, and brought them to her nose.

Her eyes immediately lit up.

“Lu Yunshang, you’re really skilled. This is a fruity scent, what fruit is this?”

“Grapefruit,” Lu Yunshang replied.

Fu Yueyue nodded in satisfaction, “This is a floral scent, I know, it’s jasmine… Sister Nianzhen, what do you think? I like both, I don’t know which one to choose.”

Xiao Nianzhen was also very satisfied with the scent, but she felt uncomfortable. Lu Yunshang really knew how to make perfume, and she did it well.

Lu Yunshang handed the fruity scent to Fu Yueyue, “This one is more suitable for you.”

Fu Yueyue pouted, “Okay, I’ll use this one for now. Next time, make me a floral one.”

Xiao Nianzhen held the floral perfume tightly, forcing a smile, “Thank you, Sister Yunshang. We’ll come to you for perfume in the future. Give us a discount next time.”

“Oh, you have my brother’s black gold card, what discount do you need?” Fu Yueyue said as she examined her perfume, becoming more and more satisfied, “The bottle is also very pretty.”

After sending Fu Yueyue and Xiao Nianzhen away, Lu Yunshang remembered that she still had to send the perfume to Fu Changqing, so she went to find Liu Jingting. As soon as she entered his office, Liu Jingting rushed over and grabbed her hand.

“Yunshang, you’re amazing. If we get a few more customers like Miss Fu, we’ll make a fortune.”

Lu Yunshang chuckled, “Do you think everyone is that stupid and will let us overcharge them?”

Liu Jingting scratched the back of his head, “That’s true. Do you think those two will tell others that we overcharged them? Our reputation…”

Lu Yunshang patted Liu Jingting on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, senior brother. That amount of money is nothing to the Fu family. Fu Yueyue never looks at the price when she buys things because she has endless money.”

Lu Yunshang handed Fu Changqing’s perfume to Liu Jingting and asked him to contact Fu Changqing’s secretary to arrange a time to deliver it. The two of them drank tea and discussed the theme for the bidding meeting, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Liu Jingting, to reward Lu Yunshang, decided to take her out for a good meal.

Just as they were about to get up, Lu Yunshang’s phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was that persistent ghost, Fu Hanzhou.

Lu Yunshang thought, he wouldn’t be asking for the 200,000 yuan back, would he?

She swiped to answer.

“Lu Yunshang, you venomous viper, what did you put in the perfume? Nianzhen fainted.”

Lu Yunshang was shocked.

“Lu Yunshang, I’m telling you, if anything happens to Nianzhen and the child, I’ll make your whole Lu family pay!”
