Su Qian leaned on her seat and took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably depressed.
Si Mobai restored her reputation, and her fame and career also improved a lot. She should be grateful to him.
But everything has its pros and cons. She borrowed his light, but many people denied her ability.
Zhao Yanran is a good example.
If it weren't for Si Mobai, a woman of Zhao Yanran's status could safely hire a higher-level perfumer at a high price.
Zhao Yanran is the most talked-about person among the ladies of the imperial capital. For Su Qian, this is a good opportunity to prove herself and promote herself.
But this Zhao Yanran didn't follow common sense. She customized the perfume not to please herself, but to cater to her husband.
As a result, Su Qian really didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.
…
Cafe.
Zhao Yanran came as requested.
After entering the door, she looked around and finally walked to the booth in the corner.
"Big star, I've been waiting for a long time."
Lin Qingying looked around to make sure there were no paparazzi following her, and then put down her sunglasses vigilantly.
"How about it? Did the Su Group compensate you?"
Zhao Yanran called the waiter, ordered a glass of iced Americano, and replied calmly: "No."
"No?"
Lin Qingying glanced at her.
She and Zhao Yanran are good friends. This time, Zhao Yanran went to Su Qian to customize perfume. It was originally agreed between the two of them, and the purpose was to discredit Su Qian.
Zhao Yanran held Bingmei in both hands and said: "Originally, I planned to cause trouble in the Su Group and make Su Qian lose face, but Su Qian is a very smart woman. She did not cooperate with me and made a fuss with me.
He talked a lot about it, and when I heard it, it seemed like that was the case, so I promised to give her another chance."
"What? Yanran, are you my friend? Didn't we agree that Su Qian would look good this time? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Lin Qingying's beautiful face glowed with a sharp look.
Zhao Yanran comforted her: "Don't worry, I didn't say I won't help you, but, after all, I am a respectable person in the circle of ladies. I can't be unreasonable and make trouble in the Su Group like a shrew, right?"
"Then why didn't you follow the original plan?"
Zhao Yanran stirred the coffee: "I suddenly changed my mind for two main reasons. First, Su Qian's words inspired me..."
Lin Qingying felt confused and interrupted: "What inspiration?"
"She said that if you want to keep my husband's heart, you should have your own social value and not let him think that I am just beautiful."
Zhao Yanran went to see Su Qian this time not only to help Lin Qingying, but also to see if Su Qian's fragrance mixing skills were so amazing.
Because her husband did say that the perfume on her body smells bad.
She had always naively thought that he just didn't like the smell of her perfume, but after Su Qian's analysis, she seemed to understand the real reason.
Lin Qingying didn't have a good impression of Su Qian and retorted directly: "Are you so confused that you actually believe this woman's words?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but...you have also seen the recent news about my husband. If I don't do something, I won't be able to keep this position."
"The more this happens, the more you have to pay close attention to him. If you listen to Su Qian and create your own social value, your husband will have more time to go out and fool around!"
When Zhao Yanran heard this, she thought it made sense.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of this?"
"You see, I've told you a long time ago that Su Qian is a very insidious woman, and you were almost brainwashed by her!"
Lin Qingying looked at her with hatred, and asked again: "Just now you said there are two reasons for changing the plan, what is the other reason?"
"There is another reason, that is, the reason for making trouble is not sufficient. When I was making a big fuss in the Su Group, Su Qian had the bottle of perfume sent for testing. There was nothing wrong with it. If I had kept shouting that I was not allowed to
Isn’t it easy for others to see that satisfaction is intentional?”
Lin Qingying thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed true.
If you want to cause trouble, you have to find a decent reason.
"Did you get that bottle of perfume back?"
Zhao Yanran opened the bag, took out the perfume from it, and pushed it in front of her.
Lin Qingying sprayed a little on her wrist, leaned in and smelled it.
“What a special taste.”
"I heard that it contains ingredients of Chinese herbal medicine, and it smells really good. I went to a beauty salon yesterday, and everyone who smelled it praised it for its high-end smell."
"Anything high-end? After a while, I will hire a master perfumer for you. I guarantee it will be no worse than this one!"
Lin Qingying put the perfume on the table and said arrogantly: "The most important thing now is to help me teach this woman Su Qian a lesson!"
Zhao Yanran put away the perfume.
"Qingying, seriously, are you sure that if Su Qian's reputation is discredited, Si Mobai can come back to you?"
"I don't know, but no matter what, I can't let a scheming woman stay by his side and occupy the position of Mrs. Si's wife!"
Seeing how determined she was, Zhao Yanran nodded and said: "Okay, in this case, we will act according to the original plan, but you must find a reasonable reason, otherwise Si Mobai will definitely find trouble with me if he finds out."
Lin Qingying thought for a while, then the corners of her mouth curled up: "I have a way."
…
afternoon.
Su Qian originally wanted to go home, but remembering Tang Hua's advice, she decided to go back to Si's house.
I originally wanted to go directly to Jinxiu Garden to find Si Luoqi, but who would have thought that I would bump into Si Luoqi as soon as I entered Si's house.
Si Luoqi was an easy-going person. When he saw her, he smiled and said hello: "Qianqian, it's time to get off work."
"Um."
After she nodded, he walked around her and walked out.
"Brother, wait!"
She suddenly spoke, and Si Luoqi turned around in confusion.
"Is something wrong?"
"It's like this. Tang Hua asked me to tell you a few words. The incident of her getting drunk at the bar the night before yesterday was just an accident. She also postponed the wedding. She just wanted to have more time to prepare for your wedding. That's all. I hope
Don't think too much."
She told him everything Tang Hua said.
Si Luoqi kept smiling throughout the whole process and didn't give much reaction.
"knew."
Then, he turned around and left Si's house.
Such a light reaction made Su Qian a little confused.
Although he kept smiling, she did not feel his passion for Tang Hua. On the contrary, she felt that he did not care.
Watching Si Luoqi go away, she was a little confused.
I came to Qingyouyuan depressedly, and as soon as I entered the door, I bumped into someone's arms.
She smelled the familiar cologne scent and could guess who it was even without raising her head.
"Mr. Si, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, so I didn't look at the road."
Si Mobai was already used to it and did not blame him.
"What is it that requires you to be so absorbed in your thoughts?"
"Um...it's about Tang Hua."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she inquired: "Last time you asked me to remind Tang Hua to think twice before she acts. Can I ask what you meant?"
