The process did not take long. People started to submit their papers within the first half hour. The number of people in the venue was gradually decreasing, but Lily was taking her time in writing her answers.The ingredients were easily distinguished, and she could write them out quickly. Interestingly, the two fragrances were very similar, not only in color but also in their notes. The advantages and disadvantages were roughly the same, which left Lily pondering.Seeing that everyone else answered quickly, a few participants looked uneasy, but after thinking about it for a while, they all finished answering the questions. In the end, there were only a few people left."There are ten minutes left. If you don't hand in your papers, we will forfeit your answers," the examiner said while looking at the time.The last few who were hesitating finished their writing. Lily took another whiff of the fragrance. She smiled and quickly finished filling out her paper as well. After handing
"It's not written on your face but in your eyes. Your eyes seem wise." He communicated in English, and he spoke it very fluently."You’re very well-spoken." Without responding to his words, Lily gave him an irrelevant compliment."Thank you." The man happily took advantage of it and introduced himself generously, "Hello, my name is Noah," As he said that, he stretched out a hand toward Lily with a smile.Lily got to her feet. She had no interest in shaking hands with him and replied, "It's time."The organizers had come and asked them to return to the venue again. The noise suddenly subsided, and the silence made Lily feel much more comfortable. When she returned to her seat, she saw Noah sitting diagonally behind her. No wonder Lily had no impression of him before.Noticing that she was looking at him, Noah happily waved at her. Lily glanced at him, then turned back around with a blank expression on her face.‘Why is this guy so enthusiastic about a stranger?’"Everyone's answ
Mr. Parker answered without looking at the man, "What do you think?"The man was at a loss for words.What did that even mean? The man had spoken his mind since that was what he thought."Are you sure that’s the case? Or did you assume?" Mr. Parker continued. His words confused many people, and they all wondered what he meant. "Judging by the answer sheets, quite a few of you had the same opinion, right?" he continued to ask.There was no answer from the crowd. Looking at how they had quarreled earlier, there was no need to produce the answer sheets. Many of them disagreed anyway."What do the others think?" After a final round of questions, he said, "Let's announce the results."The examiner on the side nodded respectfully and then stepped forward to announce the results. A total of ten people were selected. The examiner started announcing results starting from tenth place. What surprised Lily was that Noah took second place. She looked back and glanced at him. Noah happened t
In the face of everyone's doubts, Lily's face remained neutral. She still looked indifferent, as if what these people were discussing had nothing to do with her. The examiner glanced at Mr. Parker, then said, "Please be quiet. You wanted to know why Ms. Christian could win first place, right? That's back to the final question itself. The last question in the competition, do you all believe your answer was correct?""Could it be that both those bottles are Mr. Parker's works?" Someone suddenly realized. If Mr. Parker disagreed with what the person said just now, it was incorrect. Since it was not mentioned that neither of the two bottles belonged to him, then it meant that it did. The examiner smiled, then picked up a stack of the test papers they had just finished answering, "Here’s the answer sheet for everyone. After analyzing the raw materials and ingredients, almost everyone wrote a detailed description and wrote their judgments at the end. “Many people though
Looking at that person, Lily answered thoughtfully, "It doesn’t mean much to whoever the author is. This test is about analyzing the composition and the pros and cons of the work, not who created it." "Then, if you remove the labels and focus on the two creations themselves, will your answer be the same as now?" she asked rhetorically.That question caught people's attention, and they engaged in careful thought. If there were no labels, it was very likely that the answer would still be different. When answering the questions, they wondered if this was really Mr. Parker’s work or one of their challenges. After spending so much time and energy, no one thought that thinking about whose work it was would deviate from the game's core. Now, her words have convinced most people. However, there is always dissatisfaction. "Excuse me, Ms. Christian. What you said was good, but you’re so young and could think so well. Are you really talented and intelligent, or have you been
"Thank you," Lily replied politely."However, I have some reservations about your remarks just now." Changing the topic, he continued, "When you said that the brand doesn't affect you, do you really think so, or do you just say that rhetorically because you can't tell the difference?" Without waiting for her answer, he added, "Of course, in any case, your answer sheet is indeed more accurate than the rest. You are still number one regardless, that's for sure." This was why he held her back, as he did not want to ask this aloud."To be honest, we're both on the same boat. I don't quite agree with the question you asked. In fact, the question itself is a paradox," Lily wasn't offended as she calmly explained her side. "Oh?" On the other hand, Wesley seemed a little insulted as he raised his eyebrow. Obviously, he did not take her words seriously, thinking it was just a cover-up for her mistake. As a matter of fact, Wesley was unhappy with the results of this competition. He had initi
Lily smiled. "To be honest, there's no need for me to guess at all. The personal touches of these two perfumes are very obvious. They both have a very distinct smell, with a strong orchid note."She paused and cast a deep look at Wesley. "It's very similar to the perfume you wear." "So, your final answer is?" Wesley seemed unmoved by her words as he stood there expressionlessly, neither hinting whether she was right or wrong."You made those two perfumes; they were your products," Lily answered affirmatively."Are you sure?" Wesley raised his eyebrows and laughed. "You must know that many people gave that answer, or should I say, most people did. Moreover, I remembered from your answer sheet that you clearly stated considerable differences between the two fragrances.""Yes, I'm sure!" Lily nodded before explaining, "Although the two fragrances are very different, I also wrote another point on the answer sheet. The base notes of the two perfumes are the same. A probable reason for such
Lily's face turned serious when she heard this. She disagreed with what he said. "I think you're wrong about this. It's not that there aren't any excellent perfumers in our country. It's just that other countries have scouted them.“I am a prime example. Right now, I can also choose to stay in my country or move to another. That is why I want to continue to stay and grow in Hyderland. I hope that in the future, the whole world will see that Hyderland produces top-tier perfumers whose fragrances would sell internationally." Her words made Wesley sigh. "All right, I respect your decision. However, don't hesitate to contact me anytime if you change your mind!""Thank you!""Haha, I can finally understand why that girl, Lisa, likes being your friend so much."Lily smiled. "Maybe it's because I'm honest."With a hearty laugh, Wesley happily sent her out with a smile on his face all along the way. When Lily saw the car waiting for her, she knew it was Alexander. After bidding goodbye to We
