Chapter 9 Perfume Blending
Yanxue Company has a nine-story office building in the downtown area of Longcheng City, which serves as both the company's office and laboratory.
When Shangguan Xueyan drove with Lin Yixuan to the bottom of the building of Yansnow Company, Lin Yixuan couldn't help but sigh at Shangguan Xueyan's ability. He also knew a little about Shangguan Xueyan's situation, from having nothing to starting such a big company, Shangguan Xueyan alone used only four years, now the market value of Yansnow Company is over 100 million, and has slowly established its own brand, it can be said that the performance is still rising.
Lin Yixuan naturally admired Shangguan Xueyan from the bottom of his heart for being a strong and capable woman, something he himself absolutely did not possess.
After parking the car, Shangguan Xueyan and Lin Yixuan entered the company one after another. The two receptionists at the side saw Shangguan Xueyan and immediately greeted her, but she just nodded slightly and walked inside.
After the two went in, one of the receptionists whispered: "Did you see that? The man who just came in seemed to have gotten off the general manager's car."
"That's right, I don't know what that guy is up to either. He can't be the general manager's boyfriend, but he looks pretty young..."
Lin Yixuan and Shangguan Xueyan arrived at an elevator on one side, then took the elevator directly to the top floor.
"You don't need to do anything or say anything, I just brought you here today to introduce you to everyone and then let you hang your name so as not to be exposed." Shangguan Xueyan said lightly, actually everything was already arranged by her, no matter how Shangguan Mingyue asked, she would get the answer that Lin Yixuan indeed existed.
However, Shangguan Mingyue now plans to stay here for a long time. If Lin Yixuan is just a figurehead here again, it will be easy to reveal his true nature. So Shangguan Xueyan decided to let Lin Yixuan show up and get familiar with the people in the company, which would also reduce the chance of being exposed.
"Xue Yan, you're here." Lin Yixuan and Shangguan Xueyan had just stepped out of the elevator when they saw a young man walking towards them. The young man was dressed in a crisp suit, with a mature and capable demeanor that seemed to embody the so-called successful person, and his face always wore a hint of confident smile.
"Liu Dong, what's going on?" Shangguan Xueyan's face relaxed a bit after seeing the young man, and then she asked again.
"It's terrible, the products they've produced are exactly the same as our newly developed brand. I suspect that someone inside the company has leaked the information." Liu Dong said with a serious face.
"It's not impossible, but since there's no evidence, it's not good to randomly accuse people, or else it will hurt their feelings. How about this, we'll postpone the release of our product and re-research a new one." Shangguan Xueyan furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said hesitantly.
"Xue Yan, you also know how much time and effort are needed to develop a new product. We simply don't have that much time." Liu Dong sighed, he had thought about Yuexiang's idea before, but it was too unrealistic.
"I think we'll just have to put this product on the market." Liu Dong said helplessly after a while.
"No way, once we launch this product, our competitors will grasp the handle and say that we plagiarized. It will affect the company's reputation." Shangguan Xueyan shook her head and rejected Liu Dong's proposal.
The two of them walked and talked, completely ignoring Lin Yixuan. Lin Yixuan didn't mind, but just listened to their conversation. From what they said, Lin Yixuan naturally understood that Shangguan Xueyan's company seemed to be in a crisis, apparently because the product they were about to launch had been stolen and launched by someone else first, creating an unfavorable situation for them.
It was only a moment later that Lin Yixuan followed the two into a large office, which was decorated in a simple and elegant style without any luxurious appearance. At this time, Liu Dong seemed to have just noticed Lin Yixuan and frowned at him, asking: "Who are you?"
Lin Yixuan didn't respond and instead looked directly at Shangguan Xueyan, the implication clear, letting Shangguan Xueyan answer Liu Dong.
"He is our company's technical advisor." Shangguan Xueyan said calmly.
"Technical General Advisor?" Liu Dong looked up and down at Lin Yixuan, his eyebrows furrowed. The other day, Shangguan Xueqian suddenly announced that the company would add a technical general advisor, which made him puzzled. And it was Shangguan Xueqian, who didn't answer when asked. He had thought it was some official's child coming to hang out, but now it seemed not to be the case at all. Moreover, looking at Lin Yixuan and Shangguan Xueqian, there seemed to be some unclear relationship between them, which made Liu Dong very concerned.
"However, he won't be coming to the company for a while. Let Xiaoyan take him around to get familiar with the place." Shangguan Xueyan said calmly, then pressed the phone on her desk.
Before long, a woman in a pink professional dress walked in with a blue folder in her arms. The woman turned to Shangguan Xueyan and said, "General Manager, do you have any instructions?"
"Xiao Yan, this is the technical advisor Lin Yixuan I mentioned earlier. Take him to the tech department to get familiar with the situation." Shangguan Xueyan gave a brief instruction before turning back to discuss the previous matter with Liu Dong.
"Lin Guwen, I'm Li Xiaoyan, the general manager's secretary. Please follow me." The woman made a gesture of invitation after introducing herself to Lin Yixuan.
Yanxue Company's technical department is actually Yanxue Company's laboratory, where the main focus is on researching and developing Yanxue Company's products. To enter this place, one really has to go through layers of security checks, and after passing through four doors in a row, Lin Yixuan finally followed Li Xiaoyan into what was called the technical department. This place really looked like an experimental laboratory from a movie, with all sorts of equipment for experimentation everywhere.
"Secretary Li, didn't you know that the technical department is not a place where people can enter casually?" At this time, a man wearing a white coat walked over and frowned upon seeing Lin Yixuan.
"Minister of Justice, this is the technical department's general consultant that the general manager mentioned. Let me bring him here to get familiar with the situation." Li Xiaoyan said with a gentle smile to the man.
"Chief Consultant?" The Minister of Justice looked up and down at Lin Yixuan, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth: "Him? A young whippersnapper who's still wet behind the ears, also coming to be a technical consultant? I really don't know what the general manager is thinking."
The Minister of Justice was highly valued by Shangguan Wan'er due to his own abilities, so when he spoke, he naturally wouldn't care about anything.
As for the Minister of Justice's words, Lin Yixuan didn't say much, after all, what the Minister of Justice said was all true, and if he were the Minister of Justice, his reaction wouldn't be that bad either.
"Alright, since you're here as a technical advisor, I suppose you must have some skills. Can you show me what you've got?" The Minister of Justice looked at Lin Yixuan with a calm gaze and spoke slowly.
"It's natural." Lin Yixuan smiled lightly. If it were before, he might have really become flustered, but his current perfume blending level was advanced, equivalent to a master level in reality. Believing that as an advisor, it shouldn't be a problem.
"You're still very confident, then I'd like to see your skills." The Minister of Justice saw Lin Yixuan's confident expression and couldn't help but pause, thinking: This kid won't actually have real talent, will he?
"Minister of Justice, there's something here, can you come over for a moment?" Just then a voice came out from the technical department.
"I'll go right away." The Minister of Justice responded with a sound, and then said to Lin Yixuan: "There are some experimental equipment over there, you can go and get familiar with it first, and come back after I've finished my business."
The Minister of Justice dropped a sentence and left.
Lin Yixuan couldn't help but smile wryly, also secretly blaming Shangguan Xueyan for her carelessness. She had directly sent him to the technical department, and if he was still his usual self, wouldn't he have blown his cover by now? Perhaps it was because Shangguan Xueyan was too anxious about the product being stolen that she had forgotten these details.
After the Minister of Justice left, Lin Yixuan came to the experimental table on one side. There were indeed many materials here, and various material extraction solutions could be found here. Lin Yixuan even saw a lot of rare materials.
Of course, these were ordinary objects for Lin Yixuan, after all, he had seen many in the study space. Lin Yixuan casually picked up a container and then randomly selected some materials from the raw material area and poured them into the container. Lin Yixuan's actions were very casual, which made Li Xiaoyan want to stop him, but remembering that Lin Yixuan seemed to be the chief consultant of the technical department, she swallowed her words.
Various materials were mixed by Lin Yixuan, and in a short while, they became a small bottle with a faint golden glow. After seeing that the mixture had evened out, Lin Yixuan placed the small bottle on the table and then found a chair to sit down.
"Lin Guwen, what is this that you've concocted?" Li Xiaoyan originally didn't want to ask so many questions, but in the end she couldn't help but open her mouth and ask.
"Perfume." Lin Yixuan closed his eyes and said softly.
"May I take a look?" Li Xiaoyan said cautiously.
"It's okay, even if you use a little bit." Lin Yixuan chuckled lightly, without minding.
Li Xiaoyan heard that, picked up the bottle, knocked off the cap and opened it. Then a faint fragrance came out from inside the bottle. The fragrance in the bottle was not strong, but rather had a delicate feeling, making people feel refreshed after smelling it.
"How fragrant! What's the name of this perfume?" Li Xiaoyan exclaimed involuntarily.
"What's the name? Haven't thought of one yet, why don't you come up with one?" Lin Yixuan smiled faintly. As for him saying that he hadn't thought of a name, it was purely nonsense. The perfume he had concocted may not have existed in this world yet, but it already existed in the study space, and naturally, so did its name.
"Never mind, this is what you've concocted, take it yourself." Li Xiaoyan let out a soft sigh, then praised: "Lin Guwen, you're really amazing, to have created a perfume in such a short time..."
Li Xiaoyan's words were not yet finished, when she suddenly stopped, then her body hastily leaned towards Lin Yixuan, anxiously asking: "Lin Gu, is the perfume you formulated available on the market?"
"It's not natural, this is my original work, you're the first person to witness it." Lin Yixuan smiled lightly, shamelessly taking credit for the results of the study space.
"That's great!" Li Xiaoyan suddenly exclaimed with excitement, then shouted towards the technical department: "Director of the Criminal Department, come out quickly, there is an urgent matter."
Upon hearing Li Xiaoyan's cry for help, the Minister of Justice hastily came out, but his eyebrows were furrowed, clearly in a bad mood.
"Minister of Justice, smell this perfume." Li Xiaoyan hastily handed the perfume concocted by Lin Yixuan to the Minister of Justice.
The Minister of Justice took it over and sniffed it lightly. His face changed immediately, then he looked directly at Li Xiaoyan and asked urgently, "Where did this perfume come from?"
"Lin Gu asked just now." Li Xiaoyan said with a light smile.
The Minister of Justice looked at Lin Yixuan with a suspicious face, then asked: "Is this really your concoction? Which brand of perfume is this after all? I seem to have never smelled it before."
"Nature is my creation, I've just created it, and if you've smelled it before, that's really strange." Lin Yixuan smiled lightly, this point he dared to be sure, this perfume only had this configuration by him.
