Chapter 56:
The competition started. On the stage, the host read the rules of the competition, announced the start of the competition, and the staff distributed the spices handed in by the previous contestants.
When Mu Yao got the spices, she checked them again, and there was no problem.
The competition is to concoct a self-created perfume. Mu Yao has operated hundreds of times in the laboratory, so compared to other perfumers, her operation is smooth and smooth. In addition, there are too many male contestants in the competition, only three or four It was a female contestant, Mu Yao was attractive, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on her.
Zhou Tian's position is on the right back of Mu Yao. After getting the spices, she took her time and even looked up to Mu Yao's side. Seeing that the other party had already started and seemed to be in a hurry, she secretly laughed, The most important thing in perfumery is to be steady and careful, not to be fast.
She moved her eyes to the auditorium, and saw Jiang Yan staring at Mu Yao, she gritted her teeth secretly, and slapped Mu Yao hard in the face when she decided to win.
"Wang."
Ginger stayed in Jiang Yan's arms. At the beginning, the little thing was quite peaceful, but after a while, it couldn't stay anymore, especially when it was uncomfortable being held by Jiang Yan, it was completely soft like Mu Yao Xiangxiang. It was different in his arms, and looked at Mu Yao who was not far away. It stretched its short legs and wanted to find Mu Yao.
"Don't bark, don't move." Jiang Yan picked up Ginger and met its round, dull dog eyes, "Otherwise, I'll throw you out."
"Aww..."
Jiang kicked his two short legs, trying to struggle, but Jiang Yan gave him a cold look, and the little thing shrank his head and calmed down.
Jiang Yan put down the meat ball casually, and continued to look at the girls in the arena with dark eyes.
The competition time is one hour, and when the time is up, special staff will come forward to collect the works.
I don't know how long it took, but when everyone else was nervously adjusting the fragrance, Mu Yao had already finished it. She took the scent paper next to her, and put a drop of perfume on the paper. After confirming that there was no problem, she Consciousness staff came up to collect her work.
Some of the half-finished contestants became even more nervous when they saw that someone had already submitted their work.
But Zhou Tian didn't take it seriously, she glanced at it, then lowered her head and continued to adjust the fragrance.
When the competition is over, everyone's works have been submitted, and then it is time for the jury to score. The contestants can rest and wait for the announcement of the results.
Mu Yao walked towards the auditorium.
Jiang Yan in Jiang Yan's arms saw Mu Yao, and immediately barked aggrievedly. The dog struggled, but the next second, it was imprisoned by Jiang Yan's big hand, "Wow, woof." It whined.
"Ginger." Mu Yao touched its head, but did not take it over.
Jiang Yan looked at the girl, "Is it cold?"
He knew that Mu Yao was afraid of the cold. The stadium was very spacious and there was no heating. She competed there for an hour, and her hands should be cold.
"A little bit." She didn't feel it during the competition just now, but now she realized that her fingers were all icy, and she put her hand with slightly red fingertips into her pocket.
"Here for you, take a sip to warm up your body."
Jiang Yan picked up the cup of hot drink placed on the armrest and handed it to Mu Yao. He bought it just now. He heard from Chen Qinghui that girls like sweet drinks.
Mu Yao was surprised by Jiang Yan's carefulness, she didn't drink water for more than an hour, she was indeed thirsty, "Thank you."
What Jiang Yan bought was hot milk tea. It was obvious that he had just bought it not long ago. The cup was warm, and when he held it in the palm of his hand, his cold fingertips became warm all of a sudden. She took a sip, the sweet oolong peach flavor spread on the tip of her tongue, the warmth flowed down her throat, and her stomach felt warm.
"It's delicious." Mu Yao raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yan with a smile in her eyes.
The girl's eyes were full of water, which made Jiang Yan's heart ache.
"Brother Jiang Yan, I want to drink milk tea too."
Over there, Zhou Tian came over and interrupted the two of them looking at each other. Seeing the hot drink in Mu Yao's hand, Jiang Yan even bought it for the little vixen?
This is definitely not something that Jiang Yan, who has always been cold and arrogant, would do, but he did it, and Zhou Tian felt sour in his heart.
"Brother Jiang Yan, I'm also very cold and thirsty, and I really want to drink milk tea." Zhou Tian looked at Jiang Yan eagerly.
Jiang Yan glanced at her indifferently, and said coldly: "Turn right at the door, and go shopping by yourself."
Zhou Tian has known Jiang Yan's character and tone since she was a child, and she is used to it, but now she finds that Jiang Yan can also smile and be gentle with people, but Zhou Tian can't bear it if the person is not her.
"Brother Jiang Yan, you treat him too differently!" Zhou Tianxiao complained pitifully.
Jiang Yan chuckled and ignored her. He raised his eyebrows and said to Mu Yao: "Sit down first? The result will come out soon."
"Okay." Mu Yao walked over and sat down next to him, not paying attention to Zhou Tian's fierce stare at her.
The girl was wearing a **** pink jacket with a white turtleneck sweater inside. Her long, soft hair was lightly draped behind her. The tips of her hair were slightly curled, and her small face was pale. She was obediently drinking a cup of milk tea. It looks like it is three points sweeter than that milk tea.
The more Zhou Tian looked at her, the more depressed she became. She didn't know how Mu Yao did it. This look was too beautiful, not to mention Jiang Yan staring straight at the side, and she almost couldn't move her eyes.
Thinking of this, she became even more depressed. She snorted angrily and looked away. She could only wait for the result of the competition. She wanted to see how Mu Yao's face changed after being hit by her.
I don't know how long it took, the host came on stage with a score result in his hand.
"Now, I am announcing the results of this fragrance competition, the scores are from low to high."
The host looked at the result in his hand, and he began to read aloud: "Zheng Jiaxuan, work: Beloved for a lifetime, the score is 75."
"Wang Quan, work: Summer, score: 78."
"Wang Zhiming, work: Valley of Charm, score: 80."
"Gu Shen, work: Rose Avenue, score: 83."
…
The arena has become quiet, everyone is listening to the host announce the scores, the more nervous the contestants are, they hope to hear the host read their names later.
Zhou Tian stood confidently in front of Mu Yao.
However, she hadn't heard Mu Yao's name for a long time, she curled her lips in displeasure, it seems that Mu Yao is not as vase as she imagined, she still has a little talent.
There were a total of thirty contestants, and now the results of the next twenty or so have come out, and the host continues to announce.
"The names of the winners will be announced now. The third place is Lin Han, work: Sakura Girl, score: 90."
Zhou Tian didn't expect Mu Yao to enter the top three together with her. She frowned, feeling even more frustrated, but even if she entered the top three, wouldn't she be overwhelmed by her? Nothing special.
"The second place is Zhou Tian, whose work: Infatuation, with a score of 92."
What?
Hearing the results announced by the host, Zhou Tian was taken aback. Why was she in second place?
Zhou Tian suddenly turned her head to look at Mu Yao, who was sitting next to Jiang Yan, holding milk tea, with a peaceful face. If she was the second place, wouldn't Mu Yao...
As if to confirm her thoughts, the next second, the host said: "First place, Mu Yao, work: Snow, the score is almost perfect, a high score of 98. Three contestants please come to the stage to accept the award."
Zhou Tian had a look of disbelief.
How could Mu Yao be number one? And her work is close to full marks?
"Go." Jiang Yan's thin lips curled up, and he took the milk tea from the girl's hand and let her go on stage.
"Wow, woof."
Seeing Mu Yao getting up to leave, Sheng Jiang stared like a dog, struggling to go with her.
"Be quiet." Jiang Yan easily pressed the dog's head with a big hand.
On the stage, Zhou Tian held the medal of the Asian runner-up in her hand and looked at the champion in Mu Yao's hand. She was so annoyed that she vomited in her heart. She would never admit that Mu Yao was better than herself in perfumery.
Her school is a world-renowned perfume school, and there are only a few places for domestic students every year. How could she lose to Mu Yao?
The prize money for the first place is tens of thousands, Mu Yao is in a good mood, noticing Zhou Tian's glaring eyes, she just smiled.
"Are you proud?" Zhou Tian lowered her voice and stared at Mu Yao, seeing her red lips curled up, she was so angry that she wanted to grit her teeth.
Originally, she had made a crooked idea, wanting to touch Mu Yao's spices, so that Mu Yao would make a fool of herself, but then she thought that she would win against Mu Yao, lest the other party have an excuse not to admit defeat, not convinced, she still did not tamper with the spices.
Now she regrets it.
"I'm not proud."
Mu Yao frowned and looked happy, she smiled and said, "It was within my expectation to get the first place, so I don't have anything to be proud of."
Listen, what does it mean to be number one within her expectations?
Isn't it proud to say such arrogant words?
Zhou Tian gritted her teeth, "You won a small competition, what's the big deal." She snorted angrily and walked off the stage.
Zhou Tian went to the jury to find Mu Yao's work. The small bottle had Mu Yao's name written on it, as well as the name of the work: Snow.
She opened the lid and dropped a drop of perfume on the test paper.
Zhou Tian put the scent paper in front of the tip of her nose and fanned it. The cool smell came to her nostrils. The feel of the tip of the nose.
She shook her head, and the next second, Zhou Tian's face became even uglier when she recovered. She had to admit that Mu Yao's work was unique and better than hers.
This realization made her even more angry.
As the first place in the competition, many company representatives and perfumers went to Mu Yao's side, wanting to invite Mu Yao to join their company. When everyone found out that Mu Yao was only a freshman, they were surprised at the same time. He was even more determined to invite Mu Yao to join him.
After all, many of the contestants present are perfumers with many years of experience in perfumery, and Mu Yao is only a freshman student. She stands out from the crowd of contestants, which can be described as very talented.
Such talents are exactly what they need, and if they are cultivated well, Mu Yao's achievements will be even higher in the future.
Mu Yao is not interested in joining any company, but she will accept their business cards. She needs a sum of money, so she wants to sell her work.
This is also an important reason for her to participate. Now that she has won an award and let them see her strength, she is more qualified to negotiate with these perfume companies.
Looking at the girl surrounded by everyone, Jiang Yan strode forward with his dog in his arms. He cast a cold glance at a man who was very close to Mu Yao, and he was so scared that the man subconsciously took a step back. Then he slowly withdrew his gaze, " Can we go?"
Mu Yao has already accepted all the business cards, and she doesn't like these entertainments either, "Well, let's go."
Seeing Jiang Yan take Mu Yao away, Zhou Tian hurriedly chased after her, "Brother Jiang Yan, are you going back? Let's go together."
"Let's go eat." Jiang Yan said coldly.
A sweet smile bloomed on Zhou Tian's pretty face, "It's just that I'm hungry, and I want to have dinner with you too. I haven't seen you since I've been back to China. It's rare to meet you now. I have a lot to talk about. I want to tell you."
"No." Jiang Yan refused coldly: "I don't want to be disturbed."
He just wanted to be alone with Mu Yao.
Watching Jiang Yan take Mu Yao into the car, Zhou Tian stopped the car and asked the driver to follow her, so she would not give up easily.
Mu Yao wanted to eat hot pot, so Jiang Yan asked the driver to drive to the nearest hot pot restaurant.
The decoration of this hot pot restaurant is rather ancient. The dining tables and chairs inside are all painted black wood, and the decorated red lanterns are hung on the blue brick walls, showing an ancient charm everywhere.
It was not time for meal yet, and there were not many customers in the store.
The staff watched the girl and a boy walk in, and were amazed by the good looks of the two. Seeing a little puppy in the boy's hand, she politely reminded: Sorry, pets are not allowed in the dining area. "
Jiang Yan wished that this stupid dog wouldn't hinder him from having dinner with Mu Yao, "I'll leave it to you to take care of it." Jiang Yan directly dropped the little piece of **** on the ground without any attachment.
The staff looked at such a small dog, it looked silly and cute, and it didn't seem like it would bite. "Then let it stay at the front desk. Remember to take it away after you two eat."
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, "Yes."
The waiter took Jiang Yan and Mu Yao to sit down by the window, and here, Zhou Tian also walked into the store.
She knew that Jiang Yan would definitely not agree to sit at the same table with her, so she sat down diagonally across from Jiang Yan and Mu Yao, and she just ordered a few things at random, keeping her eyes on Jiang Yan's situation.
Worried about Jiang Yan not being able to eat spicy food, Mu Yao ordered mandarin duck hot pot, and she also ordered hairy tripe, fat beef, duck intestines, potato chips, and cabbage... It's been a long time since I ate hot pot, and she's a bit greedy.
"Do you have anything to add?" After Mu Yao clicked, she asked Jiang Yan.
"I want another mutton soup and cherries." Jiang Yan said.
"Cherries?" The waiter was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, if you don't have any, you can go buy them, and I'll pay for it." He had noticed that the girl hadn't eaten cherries in the past two days, so he ordered one for her.
"Okay." The waiter stepped back.
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, Mu Yao knew that Jiang Yan ordered the cherries for her, her heart moved slightly, and she said softly: "Thank you."
The girl's eyes were moist and bright, and Jiang Yan's heart was moved.
He poured the girl a cup of hot tea and put it on the side of her hand. He looked at her directly: "What's the use of just saying thank you every time? I prefer you to take action."
Mu Yao felt caring one second, but disappeared the next.
She gave him a slight look.
The waiter brought up the pot, which contained boiling hot soup, and soon, other dishes came to the table one after another.
The soup in the pot was boiling, and Mu Yao put the meat she liked into it.
Jiang Yan said, "What do you like to eat? I'll help you pick it up."
The surrounding area was steaming, and the water vapor kept coming out. The girl's eyes became moister and brighter, and even her long and slightly curly eyelashes were covered with mist. Jiang Yan felt itchy and wanted to kiss her. Her too beautiful eyes.
"I want to eat meat."
"Okay." Jiang Yan began to help her boil the meat slices.
It's not cold inside the store, and with the hot soup constantly emitting heat, Mu Yao took off her coat because of the heat. She was wearing a white woolen sweater. Because of her slim fit, she vividly depicted the figure of her upper body, which is particularly attractive. people.
Jiang Yan's dark eyes couldn't help but look around, under the short black hair, the tips of his ears were inexplicably red.
Diagonally opposite, Zhou Tian looked at Jiang Yan serving Mu Yao, as long as the girl's bowl was empty, he would immediately pick up meat and vegetables for her, very considerate.
Zhou Tian felt sour in her heart, she bit her chopsticks hard.
When she saw that Jiang Yan was worried that Mu Yao would dirty her sleeves, he actually helped her roll up her sleeves himself, and when Mu Yao showed her slender, jade-white wrists, Zhou Tian's eyes turned red.
Such porcelain-white slender arms, let alone Jiang Yan's fascination, made her envious and jealous. She didn't know what brand of whitening injection this little vixen had given, and the effect was so good!
If it wasn't for the hindrance that the other party was her rival in love, Zhou Tian would have been eager to ask for an introduction.
"Miss, what else do you need?" The waiter walked up to Zhou Tian.
"Whatever you order over there, you give me a copy."
Zhou Tian stared at Mu Yao who was satisfied with eating, her small mouth was red, she curled her lips angrily, does eating need to be so good-looking?
Mu Yao is clearly trying to seduce someone on purpose!
