Chapter 26 Another Use of Smell
After some hypocritical socializing, Ahao said goodbye to Boss Qiao.
As he walked up the dark backstage aisle of the bar, Ahao's expression gradually changed from false enthusiasm to unabashed indifference.
He took out the small business card from his trouser pocket and read it under the bright neon light of the aisle.
[Agadi Beilin Trading Co., Ltd., general manager Julie, looks forward to cooperating with you. Our contact address is...]
Ah Hao gently put the business card into his inner pocket.
Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places, right?
Ah Hao secretly made a decision in his heart.
...
After walking in the dark and quiet corridor for a while, Ah Hao gradually heard loud and noisy sounds.
The closer you get to the exit, the louder the sound becomes. The thumping sound makes the walls dance.
"Wow~wuwuwu"
Returning to the lobby of the Abyss Bar, the atmosphere in the entire bar was at its best.
The neon lights flashed rhythmically, the band on the stage sang loudly, and the crowd in front of the stage was dancing selflessly.
Ahao couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
He glanced around and immediately saw Wende at the bar, making fancy drinks.
The shaking cup was flying in the air, shaking up and down rhythmically, causing bursts of screams from time to time.
I have to say that Wen De's strong figure, coupled with his cool skills, is indeed very popular with girls.
When he was free for a while, Ah Hao quickly stepped forward, otherwise he would not be able to compete with those ladies who had thrown aside their reserve.
"Huh, it seems like your business is good today."
"Haha, that's right. Didn't you see that I came on stage in person? What would you like to drink? Yes, I'll treat you to it."
"A Tequila Sunrise, thanks! How did you make those lights flicker?"
Ah Hao curiously asked a question that he had been concerned about since just now.
"Last time that brat James came to cause trouble, remember? He made a lot of lights flash. I thought it looked pretty, so I made it like that."
"It's really interesting. The flashes and flashes make me want to jump."
Wen De took out the ingredients from under the bar and started mixing drinks skillfully.
"How was it? We were chatting with Boss Qiao just now."
"Pleasant, but not too pleasant."
"Hey, what do you mean? Don't play riddles."
"The happy thing is that my perfume is a great success and Mr. Qiao's customers like it very much."
"Well? Isn't this pretty good?" Wen De glanced at Ah Hao doubtfully.
"But I think," Ah Hao thought about his words, "he is not a good partner."
"What's wrong?"
"Boss Qiao did almost nothing and just took away half of the money. And he didn't respect me very much. I feel that after all, I'm just a wage earner."
Wen De patted Ah Hao on the shoulder, "It will be like this in the beginning. Everything will be fine after a while. After a while, you can dump him and find a reliable buyer."
Ahao smiled and pushed his hand away: "I'm not going to look for it anymore. I want to open my own store. I don't want to work for others anymore."
Ahao can still feel the business card in his trouser pocket.
I cooperated with Boss Qiao before because I couldn't find a way to promote my perfume.
But the tall Ms. Julie placed an order for a hundred bottles as soon as she started selling. It seems that she has a pretty stable sales method.
And she was much more generous than Boss Qiao.
Ah Hao has already considered terminating his cooperation with Boss Qiao.
Wen De pushed the prepared cocktail in front of Ah Hao, "I support it very much! How about quit your job first, and I will accompany you to find a store. I am familiar with this city."
"I resigned early! Money is a bit tight right now, so I might as well make some money first."
"What are you afraid of? I don't have enough money for me to lend you." Wen De patted his chest.
Ah Hao was a little touched, but immediately said: "Hey, there's no need. I have many ways to make money now."
"That's true." Wen De suddenly lowered his voice, approached Ahao and said, "As long as you can make good use of your 'ability', making money will not be a matter of minutes."
There were quite a lot of people in the bar, so Wen De didn't dare to be too specific.
"Why don't I know this? I'm using it now! Otherwise, how could I make perfume so quickly?"
"Oh, indeed." Wen De scratched his head as if he didn't understand.
"By the way, I remembered. Didn't you say that after becoming an arcane mage, you can master some of the star gates? Why don't I have this kind of treatment?"
"Shh!" Wen De nervously silenced Ahao. "You can't talk about this outside, don't you know? Be careful of violating the confidentiality agreement."
"Oh, I really don't know what kind of treaty it is."
"You go back and look through the documents yourself. The association must have said something. As for the Star Gate, hehe, as long as you are from the teleportation group, it will naturally be fine. Are you?"
"Haha, no."
While Ah Hao and Wen De were having a casual chat, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder.
"Hey, it's you! Do you still remember me?"
A sexy woman with wheat-colored skin appeared in front of her, wearing shiny eye shadow.
She's Boss Qiao's mistress!
"Mary! It's you." Ahao has a very fresh memory of her, a woman who likes to drink perfume.
Mary squeezed in smoothly next to Ahao, "I like your perfume so much, but the only bottle of perfume left that day was taken away by Joe. Do you still have it now?"
"No, the perfume encountered some problems with the raw materials, and we can't make it now."
Mary pulled up her hair angrily, "What's going on? No, I've been here several times, and I finally caught you. When will the goods be available?"
Ahao looked at Wen De, "Old Wen De, is there any news about the raw material?"
Wen De spread his hands and said, "There is no news. If you are in a hurry, we can go find the supplier."
Speaking of this, Wen De looked at Ah Hao strangely and hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not continue speaking.
When Mary heard this, she stood up in disappointment, "Okay, if it's available, please let me know. I really want to drink that perfume again."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the backstage of the bar.
Ahao waved goodbye to Mary with a bit of a loss of words.
Wen De immediately whispered to Ahao: "Didn't you say that your door is full of fragrance? Didn't you extract the fragrance from the door to make perfume? Why do you need raw materials?"
Wen De's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, shocking Ahao's thoughts, "Can it still be like this?"
"Otherwise, what is your door for? Aren't all Arcane mages using their door's ability to improve their lives?" Wen De looked at Ahao with very confused eyes.
Ahao is speechless.
Maybe the impact of the smell and memory of opening the door for the first time was too strong.
He has always regarded his door as a storage station of memory or a treasure house of knowledge.
He originally planned to continue to acquire more alchemy knowledge to assist him in making perfume the next time he opened the door.
But Wen De's words made him suddenly realize that the smell in this door itself might be valuable.
It doesn't mean that others can't smell it, it means they can't take advantage of it.
He now realizes that if the smell in the door is collected and then refined and extracted to make perfume, others may be able to smell it! What a feasible idea!
