The lady of the family may ignore those who bark in front of her, but she’s never repaid their ruthlessness with kindness. She’s never been a saint.

  The next second, Qiao Qing said to Gong Yi, “What I want to say is, don’t fire them now so we can participate in the competition. If I don’t get number one in the competition, keep them. If I get number one, you can fire them then.”


  Her words made Lang Yin roll his eyes.

  The lady of the family was truly the evilest.

  She doesn’t always take action, but when she does, she hits hard.

  She let these perfumers cheer up first. Then, she’ll hit them with the worst ending.

  As expected, her words made the perfumers all excited and ecstatic.

  Though they didn’t dare to show their happiness in front of the men, they were doing somersaults inside.

  Qiao Qing being number one? What a joke!

  Number one? Without their support, no way she will pass the first round!

  Doesn’t that mean they will for sure keep their jobs?

  Before, they were furious at Qiao Qing for entering the competition without any skills. But now, they were over the moon!

  Compared to the perfumers, the men frowned

  Gong Yi, “Qingqing, so you want to keep them?”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  Jun Yexuan, “Qingqing, no need to be so nice to them. They may not understand your kindness and may stab you in the back!”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  The perfumers were all excited.

  “We get it!”


  “Yes! We swear we are very appreciative!”


  “I swear, I will never speak badly of Ms. Qiao ever again! I won’t say anything openly or behind her back!”


  “Thank you, Ms. Qiao, for forgiving us! You are my idol!”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  Mu Jinghang shook his head and sighed, “Sis-in-law wants to save them but does it in a roundabout way. My IQ is low and I didn’t get it right away.”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  Qi Yusen, “It’s okay this time. But if you’re this nice again next time, I won’t allow it.”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  Lang Yin saw how helpless the young lady looked and couldn’t help but curl his lips.

  Afterward, Qiao Qing, Jun Yexuan, and the others all went to the fragrance competition.

  Once they arrived, Xu Lu pulled Qiao Qing to the side right beneath Jun Yexuan’s devouring gaze.

  “You sure you don’t want my perfume for this competition?”


  Qiao Qing nodded, “Can your perfume get me number one?”


  Xu Lu shook her head, hard, “Xu Pingting is competing. How can I get number one?”


  “Then, that’s that.” Qiao Qing shrugged, “I want number one.”


  Xu Lu, “…”


  She blinked a few times, “Do you really want number one? I thought you said what you said to help out those perfumers.”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  “But,” Xu Lu continued, “Though mine cannot get number one, you think yours can? Do you remember what ingredient you chose?”


  Her words were greeted with a voice from the other side of the room, “Who wants number one? Her?”


  Xu Lu and Qiao Qing raised their heads and saw Xu Pingting walk over. Behind her, was a group of perfumers from the Xu Corporation.
