Chapter 69 - 69 The Eve Of The Competition
69 The Eve Of The Competition
“That’s right, goddess. You don’t have to go to this extent for me.” Xu Meng looked at He Miao guiltily and sighed. “Why don’t I talk to uncle and let’s forfeit tomorrow’s match?”
Forfeiting was better than losing the competition and never being able to make perfumes again, right?
In her mind, although He Miao had some skills in making perfumes, there was definitely a gap between her and Zhou Nan, who had studied for a few years.
She bit her lip and cursed Zhou Nan in her heart.
“Don’t worry,” He Miao patted her best friend’s hand in comfort, then turned to the girl who was bullied. “Your perfume has been spilled. Do you have a spare one?”
The girl did not want to involve the two of them, so she nodded and smiled. “I do. You guys better go back and prepare for the competition. Zhou Nan is really difficult to deal with.”
“Yes, let’s go find my uncle and ask him to think of a way!” Xu Meng grabbed He Miao’s hand and ran back to the hotel anxiously.
He Miao laughed and kept telling her not to worry, but Xu Meng turned a deaf ear. She raised her hand and knocked on Xu Heng’s door.
Xu Heng opened the door and saw the two of them. His niece was sweating all over. He immediately knew that something had happened to them. He quickly let them in in and let them slowly explain the situation.
Xu Heng sighed after hearing that. ‘I knew that Zhou Heng would definitely bring Zhou Nan to the event this time.’
“Professor,” He Miao asked curiously, “How did Zhou Heng wrong you?”
Xu Heng pushed his glasses and sneered. His eyes were full of contempt. “We were good friends. In an important competition, he wanted to surpass me and win first place. He took advantage of my trust in him and added other ingredients to my work in the competition, ruining my perfume.”
Xu Meng was still young at the time and had only heard about it from her elders.
At the mention of the Zhou family, she said indignantly, “Their family must be the same. Uncle, please think of something. Our goddess must not lose tomorrow!”
Xu Heng frowned and said unhappily, “What do you want me to do? The paperwork has already been settled. Do you want me to do something as despicable as they did to help He Miao win the bet?”
Xu Meng panicked when she heard this. “That’s not what I meant, but we can’t just sit and wait for death. Zhou Nan is mainly targeting me. Why don’t I sign up for the competition and put the bet on me? This way, my goddess won’t be ruined!”
He Miao looked at Xu Meng in shock, a warm current flowing through her heart. She could not bear to let her friends and teacher continue to worry about her, so she patted Xu Meng’s shoulder and looked at her firmly. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely beat her fair and square tomorrow.”
Xu Heng nodded approvingly. “That’s right. In my opinion, He Miao is a rare genius in making perfumes. Although she hasn’t officially learned how to make fragrances in school, it’s almost impossible for her to lose with her work.”
This time, it was Xu Meng’s turn to open her mouth wide in shock. “Uncle, you mean that the goddess is very likely to win tomorrow?”
He Miao saw that her curiosity was piqued by her and Xu Heng. He blinked his eyes in amusement. “Just wait and see.”
Although he said that, Xu Meng was still on guard. She guarded He Miao’s luggage tightly, afraid that Zhou Nan would take advantage and use the same methods her uncle used on He Miao.
Their dinner was sent to their room by the hotel’s waiter. It was Xu Meng’s first time sleeping on the same bed as a friend. She chatted excitedly with He Miao, but she was still a little worried when she thought about tomorrow’s competition.
He Miao had a good night’s sleep. After washing up the next day, she brought her work for the competition with Xu Heng leading the way and walked into the competition venue.
This time, the competition was held in the most famous building in the capital. It was surrounded by an audience. Some of them were the bosses of perfume ingredients suppliers. This time, they came to watch the competition in person to select talents and sign them into their own companies early.
After all, most of the students participating in the competition were about to graduate. They were planning for their future, so if they could stand out in the competition, it would save them the trouble of finding a job.
As soon as He Miao and the others entered the venue, they met up with the person leading the senior group from the same school. The person looked at He Miao fastidiously. In her opinion, He Miao’s participation in the competition was a disgrace to the school.
