Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ning Chen was sandwiched between the two women. His head hurting from all the noise. He couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up and said: “I’m going to the balcony to get some fresh air. Don’t stop talking.”
“Ning Chen, I’ll help you over!”
“Chen, I’ll go with you!”
Tang Rou and Linda said in unison.
“Ning Chen is my boyfriend. What are you meddling in here for?”
“You don’t know Ning Chen at all. He would never like a woman like you. Don’t think too highly of yourself!”
***
The two women were still arguing. Ning Chen had already walked up to the balcony alone. Bathing in the sunlight, his eyes were instead gloomy and sad.
When will you come back, Xiao Yu?
I don’t feel joy anymore since you left.
I miss you so much.

“I’ve succeeded!” Qin Yu said excitedly in bloodshot eyes.
The concoction of the peony fragrance was finally completed. After hundreds of failed experiments, the appearance of a finished product was very much welcomed.
Ah Nan couldn’t wait to spray it on her wrist twice. Then, she approached it gently and sniffed it carefully.
Layers and layers of rich fragrance assaulted her face, creating a strong impact. When she closed her eyes, Ah Nan seemed to be able to see the prosperous Tang dynasty and smell the elegance and grandeur of a great country that had prospered through thousands of years.
The fragrance was extremely powerful and mind blowing. In Ah Nan’s words, it was a perfume fit for the queen!
Qin Yu had no idea if it was regal in nature, but the smell was awe inspiring and made anyone who caught a whiff of it to feel extremely pumped.
“This is so different from Green Bamboo.” Ah Bei was in disbelief. “I can’t believe it’s the work of the same perfumer.”
Qin Yu smiled and nodded. “This is mainly to widen the differences between the products so as to take care of consumers who have different needs and preferences.”
“We are poised to launch Green Bamboo in a launching ceremony. We have positioned this series as something antique and noble and listed it as our company’s top-tier luxury perfume. We have also hired four well-known artists to endorse it. It will definitely be a hit!”
“In terms of marketing, Ah Nan and Guan Yue are both experts. I’m not worried. You guys can handle it.”
“I’ve also contacted beauty vloggers and other media personalities. When our perfume is released, they will push it online and create hype around it. I’m afraid that the number of pre-orders in the first batch will not be enough for the customers to snatch it,” Ah Nan said confidently.
Qin Yu smiled faintly. “Looks like those foreign perfume brands will be panicking this time.”
After improving the blending of the National Peonies, Qin Yu got ready to rest.
Having stayed up all night most of the nights to work on her research, she wasn’t in the best of state mentally.
On this night, she lay on the bed and looked out of the window at the pouring rain.
Qin Yu was a little sleepy. She nodded her head repeatedly, almost falling asleep.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. Qin Yu suddenly opened her eyes.
Heavy rain..
It was also a heavy rain night..
Ning Cheng!
Qin Yu did not know why she suddenly thought of this person. On a rainy night, she thought of the young man who suddenly died in the Ning family.
Qin Yu’s back was covered in cold sweat. She suddenly realized that Ning Cheng’s death was not that simple!
At that time, she had some doubts about Ning Cheng’s death, but she did not take it to heart. Now that Ning Cheng’s name was circulating in her mind, she began to feel a deep sense of unease.
Qin Yu immediately called Xu Da and Chu Nan.
“Uncle Xu, Uncle Chu, can you help me investigate a person?” Qin Yu could hear her voice trembling.
Xu Da and Chu Nan were a little surprised. They did not expect Qin Yu to call them at this time of night to ask them to investigate a person. However, they quickly agreed. “No problem.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu looked at the torrential rain outside the window. Her gaze was somewhat solemn.
“Sigh, it’s raining so heavily. We have to repair the roof again tomorrow.” Ah Nan, who was half asleep and half awake, rolled over on the opposite bed and muttered.

“Chen, the City Public Security Bureau has set up an investigation team to send people to Ning Jie’s house to investigate.” Jason had a cigarette dangling from his fingertip. The smoke slowly rose, and his voice carried a hint of schadenfreude, “This time, Ning Jie will surely lose.”
“He may have ways to live, be careful.” After Ning Chen finished speaking, he thought that Jason might not understand this sentence, and explained, “At most, he can pay some fines and find a few scapegoats to take the blame. It won’t hurt him. He has been planning to take over the Ning family for many years, so he definitely has a lot of plans up his sleeves.”
“But I believe that he’s no match for you.” Jason smiled, “Right, Linda seems to be in a bad mood recently. Your girlfriend has given her a hard time.”
Ning Chen felt a bit helpless, “Didn’t she also give Tang Rou the same too?”
“You really have a lot of luck with women..” Jason said somewhat sourly.
