Chapter 249: Recognizing Fragrance, Sensing Fragrance, Controlling Fragrance
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Yun suddenly regretted it. He recalled the last time Cao Ni arranged for him to sleep with Qiu Yue; her expression in the room was so sorrowful and hopeless.
She was a woman refined by the Death Flower!
In an instant, a sharp pain swept through Xiao Yun's heart.
The Sister Qingxue he loved had been taken away, and now Qiu Yue, who had walked out from the painting into his sight, was in such a situation again. How could he not feel heartbroken?
Why did all the misfortunes in life converge on him alone?
He put away his phone and drove forward.
Sitting in the back, Cheng Hu was dumbfounded. This guy was so handsome! He had heard at home that he wanted Miss Yukiko to clean up for him, and now another Autumn Moon had appeared, and he actually wanted to take her as well.
Wow, a man living to this point was truly too carefree.
Cheng Hu envied him but thought of the imminent danger approaching and couldn't help but shiver all over, no longer daring to indulge in fantasies.
In this world, strength is respected. Who is Xiao Yun? Damn it, he must have some evil intentions. Cheng Hu secretly scolded himself harshly.
Of course, this guy had no idea about Xiao Yun's inner pain.
By the time they arrived at Painted Immortal Village on Panlong Mountain, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The Old Village Chief was standing at the gate of Qiu Yue's yard. From a distance, he saw a car coming and raised his arm, waving continuously.
The car arrived at the entrance, and Xiao Yun opened the door and climbed out. Old Village Chief stepped forward and grasped his hand, saying, "Xiao Yun, I just received a notification on my phone that your money has arrived in the village's account. As luck would have it, the construction team from the village has returned today, and I've asked their leader to come."
As he spoke, a few people came out from the yard: Autumn Moon's mother and father, along with another young man standing beside them. He had dark skin and a sincere expression.
Old Village Chief pointed at the young man and introduced him to Xiao Yun, saying, "This is Geng Xingsheng. He formed the construction team for Painted Immortal Village. Don't be fooled by his appearance; he's quite capable. Even as an apprentice, he participated in the design and construction of the Water Cube at China Swimming Center. His papers on architecture have won multiple national awards!"
Indeed, hidden talents emerge from humble origins!
"Ha ha, Brother Geng, you'll have to work hard this time!" Xiao Yun said as he shook Geng Xingsheng's hand.
Geng Xingsheng smiled earnestly and replied, "Brother Xiao, you're too polite. I've heard Old Village Chief mention you before; it turns out you are a descendant of our Painted Immortal Village's great hero from back in the day!"
Qiu Yue was busy cooking in the kitchen. When the group entered the house, she hurried out to serve tea. As she poured tea in front of Xiao Yun, her face suddenly flushed, her eyes sparkling like spring water, and her hands holding the teapot trembled slightly.
"Autumn Moon, didn't you go to school this afternoon?" Xiao Yun asked with a smile.
Qiu Yue replied, "Oh, we have a new teacher now, so I don't need to go anymore. I'm just here to take care of my Drunken Beauty Garden!"
"Drunken Beauty Garden?" Xiao Yun asked in confusion.
Cao Ni laughed and said, "Autumn Moon named her flower field in Grand Canyon Drunken Beauty Garden!"
Xiao Yun clapped his hands in praise and said, "Great name! When we produce our Beauty Perfume, we should call it Drunken Beauty. Uh, the company can be named Galaxy City Drunken Beauty Co."
"Hmph, then your company will surely be surrounded by beauties and filled with fragrant flowers!" Qiu Yue teased with a flirtatious glance.
Xiao Yun replied seriously, "That's a good suggestion! I can consider it; you could be their commander!"
"You're so vain!" Qiu Yue said with a teasing smile.
Watching the two of them banter playfully, Cao Ni laughed heartily from the side.
"Hey, who is the new teacher?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
Old Village Chief replied, "It's quite surprising; the teacher is actually Jiang Shigui. Haha, Xiao Yun, this guy lost his official hat after you beat him up and has come here to be a teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun frowned slightly. It seemed that Miss Yukiko's influence in Jiang County was indeed significant.
"When did he arrive?" Xiao Yun asked.
Old Village Chief said, "Jiang Shigui came here the day before yesterday afternoon. He seems to be doing well; he appears very interested in the scenery of the mountains and brought binoculars and other equipment with him. He mentioned that on weekends, he might go into the deep mountains to explore and take photos!"
Xiao Yun turned to Qiu Yue and asked, "Has he looked for you since he arrived?"
Qiu Yue replied, "No, he hasn't. He seems to have become quite proper!"
Old Village Chief added, "No matter how he was before, as long as he's changed for the better, that's what matters. Guests are always welcome here; the villagers treat him well, and we at the Village Office provide food and drink for him. He won't lack for fish and meat every day!"
Xiao Yun nodded but still felt a bit puzzled.
After parting ways with Miss Yukiko at Tai Ping Pavilion Restaurant in Jiang County, he had tried to gather information about Jiang Shigui through other channels. Those who knew him described him as restless, lecherous, and very ambitious.
Although it was said that Jiang Shigui had made contributions to education in his earlier years, after spending so many years in politics, would he really be content returning to a teaching position in such a remote mountain area?
This seemed inconsistent with others' evaluations of him; given his personality, his good behavior appeared abnormal!
Miss Yukiko, a woman from the Island Nation with a military background, is quite scheming. It’s possible that Jiang Shigui has already been secretly bribed by her. If that’s the case, then her true purpose must lie in Panlong Mountain...
What could be so special about Panlong Mountain that she would go to such lengths and pay such a price?
Regardless, I should take the opportunity tonight to visit Jiang Shigui's residence and gather some information.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, Xiao Yun took out the factory blueprints drawn by An Yiran from the Storage Ring and handed them to Geng Xingsheng.
Geng Xingsheng looked at them in surprise and said, "Brother Xiao, did you have a professional draw this? It's quite unique. From the outside, it looks like a scenic building, but the internal structure is designed according to the layout of Perfume Machinery."
Xiao Yun smiled and asked, "Hehe, this was designed with the help of a friend of mine. She probably consulted a lot of information on her computer. Uh, do you have a good understanding of the perfume production process?"
Geng Xingsheng replied, "Not really; I only helped an overseas perfume company with construction for a year, so I know a little bit. Brother, combining beauty and perfume is very creative. However, I’ve heard that the role of the perfumer is very important in perfume production. I know a world-renowned perfumer from Paris, France. If you need him, I can help bring him over."
"Great!" Xiao Yun didn’t expect Geng Xingsheng to be so enthusiastic, which increased his fondness for him. He said, "But I don’t need him for now; we already have this talent with us!"
"Who is it?" Geng Xingsheng asked in surprise.
"Far away yet close at hand!" Xiao Yun pointed at Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue's face turned red as she exclaimed, "Me? Are you joking?"
Xiao Yun replied seriously, "I’m not joking. I saw the flowers in your Drunken Beauty Garden; those flowers are unlike anything in the world, yet you cultivated them. Each type of flower not only looks different but also has its own unique fragrance. If you didn’t have a certain level of fragrance recognition ability, how could you possibly cultivate such diverse aromatic flowers?"
Upon hearing this, Old Village Chief and others applauded enthusiastically. Qiu Yue's eyes glistened as she stared at Xiao Yun but couldn’t find her voice.
Geng Xingsheng said, "Yes, yes! How could I overlook Sister Autumn Moon? She is our flower fairy in Painted Immortal Village when it comes to fragrance recognition and appreciation!"
Geng Xingsheng suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, I just thought of an idea. After the production of Beauty Perfume, how about we hold a Flower Exhibition competition in the Galaxy? This could help promote the Autumn Moon flower..."
Before Geng Xingsheng could finish his sentence, Xiao Yun already understood his intention: using flowers to advertise Beauty Perfume. It would be a joke if they were to bring Qiu Yue's unique and unimaginable Spiritual Flowers into the public eye; it would surely drive flower admirers crazy.
Duan Qingxue became famous overnight in Galaxy City due to the flower fairy event organized by the television station. Xiao Yun believed that Qiu Yue would be the Queen among the flowers in Drunken Beauty Garden!
Xiao Yun realized that Geng Xingsheng was indeed a talent. If they wanted to successfully create Beauty Perfume, they needed to have someone like him on their team.
"Alright, Geng, your suggestion is good. There’s no problem with this plan. Uh, the only issue is with Autumn Moon; I wonder if she will agree?" Xiao Yun said, shifting the topic to Qiu Yue.
Cao Ni secretly kicked Yun Laogen's leg and leaned closer to whisper in his ear, "Did you notice how much Xiao Yun likes our Autumn Moon? This son-in-law is definitely a keeper!"
At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue's face turned red. She glanced at Xiao Yun and then looked at the others, smiling as she said, "As long as it's something beneficial for our Painted Immortal Village and related to Xiao Yun, I will definitely give it my all!"
"Good," Old Village Chief clapped his hands and said, "Establishing this Beauty Perfume Production Base will at least solve some of our idle labor issues in Painted Immortal Village. It's certainly a great thing."
Suddenly, Old Village Chief seemed to remember something and looked at Xiao Yun, asking, "Oh, when you arrived, I think I saw two other people in your car. Where are they?"
Xiao Yun then remembered Cheng Hu and Red Sister. He turned around to look outside the courtyard gate but indeed did not see them.
—Uh, where did those two go? The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
