Even Andrew’s students might not be able to answer Andrew’s tricky questions calmly.
“Alright,” Andrew nodded. “I only have three questions. Miss Lu, please answer me.”
Lu Nanxin remained silent, her fear becoming increasingly apparent.
Andrew’s voice remained composed as he posed sharp, specialized questions about fragrance.
These questions went beyond the superficial aspects and delved into genuine expertise. Everyone present was a professional, and Lu Nanxin, as a novice in the field, had no chance of deceiving them in this public setting.
Lu Nanxin found herself increasingly at a loss while attempting to respond to Andrew’s questions.
“Can’t you answer?” Andrew asked sharply, fixing his gaze on her.
“I…” Lu Nanxin faltered.
Even Jerry and Oskar couldn’t help but glance at her.
While these questions might pose a challenge to a layperson, they were straightforward for the creator of this perfume.
“Nanxin?” Jerry lowered his head and looked at Lu Nanxin, conveying his support.
However, Andrew’s gaze grew even more intense as he continued, “Of course, Miss Lu can’t answer my question because this perfume wasn’t created by Miss Lu at all.”
Lu Nanxin’s expression shifted, and a commotion erupted among the onlookers.
Jerry swiftly defended Lu Nanxin, addressing Andrew with a cold demeanor. “Andrew, I respect your stature in the industry, but I won’t tolerate you defaming my fiancee. ”
This was both a threat and a warning.
Andrew merely regarded Jerry calmly.
“Andrew, you should provide evidence when making such claims!” Oskar interjected urgently.
“Of course, I have evidence,” Andrew responded calmly. “Initially, this perfume only had the formula. The person who truly reconstructed this perfume is present here, and I hold the complete version of this perfume in my hands.”
Andrew retrieved a sample from his pocket and took a fragrance testing card from a staff member. After lightly spraying it, the staff member handed it to the judges present.
As they received the cards and smelled the fragrance, their expressions became subtly altered.
When they looked at Lu Nanxin again, everyone had an indescribable look on their faces.
Lu Nanxin instantly felt embarrassed. She looked at Jerry and said, “Jerry, I’m so scared. I don’t know what’s happening.”
She appeared helpless and yet incredibly charming.
Jerry protected Lu Nanxin.
Meanwhile, Andrew had already turned his gaze towards Lu Nanxin. “Miss Lu, why can’t you explain? The reason is that the perfume Miss Lu provided is an unfinished work by one of my students. She submitted it as her assignment back then, and what I have in my hand now is the complete version of my formula, personally completed by my student’s daughter, Miss Yu Anwan.”
As he finished speaking, Andrew looked towards Yu Anwan, who was seated in the VIP section.
This time, it wasn’t just Andrew. Even Wen Jin cast a somewhat inscrutable expression.
On the other hand, Yu Anwan stood up gracefully.
As the eyes of the people around her turned towards her, Yu Anwan maintained a smiling countenance throughout.
However, when Yu Anwan’s gaze fell upon Lu Nanxin, there was a hint of mockery in her expression.
It was as though, in front of everyone’s eyes, she intended to expose Lu Nanxin’s lie without any hesitation.
“I believe you all must have noticed the clues.” Andrew and Yu Anwan nodded at each other before he continued calmly, “Moreover, even if I don’t have any evidence to prove that you copied the perfume in Miss Lu’s hands, I can confidently assert that it’s a flawed product. The final note is missing, and if we force it to be launched, it will only result in all the investments going down the drain.”
Andrew’s words were crystal clear.
This sparked even more discussion among the audience.
The capital investors who were unaware of the situation didn’t doubt Andrew’s words at all.
After all, the perfumes that Andrew had previously shown no favor to had been forcefully pushed to market, but the outcomes had been disappointing.
What made matters worse was that this was the first time Andrew had publicly accused someone of plagiarism.
Upon witnessing this situation, the members of the Spencer family felt extremely embarrassed. After all, this perfume was one that the Spencer family was determined to promote vigorously, and they had high hopes for it. Yet now, it was being rebuffed.
Lu Nanxin had become the center of attention for everyone.
Oskar couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
“Nanxin…” Jerry looked at Lu Nanxin, waiting for her explanation.
Lu Nanxin shook her head desperately. “No, you have to believe me. Someone must have set me up. Something must have gone wrong.”
However, such an explanation only made it even more apparent that there was no easy way out of this situation.
After all, professionalism couldn’t be easily circumvented.
Everyone present was from the industry. When Andrew presented the perfume, they could naturally discern its quality. The only missing element was the final note, and the overall feeling was like night and day.
Lu Nanxin’s face was extremely pale.
“President Wen, do you sympathize with her?” Yu Anwan looked at Wen Jin with a half-smile, teasing him.
His elbows rested on the edge of the chair, and his slender fingers were intertwined, giving him a lazy yet alluring appearance.
As Yu Anwan spoke, Wen Jin replied with a faint smile, “Why would I sympathize?”
“Haha…” Yu Anwan laughed, not giving Wen Jin any consideration.
Yu Anwan didn’t even bother looking at Wen Jin anymore. Instead, she walked calmly toward the center of the venue.
She maintained her composure, but her gaze towards Lu Nanxin was dignified. It was an obvious provocation, yet it also conveyed a sense of pity towards Lu
Nanxin.
In other words, Yu Anwan held Lu Nanxin in low regard.
Her mockery was displayed vividly before Lu Nanxin.
Yu Anwan didn’t even bother addressing Lu Nanxin. After a polite nod, she took the microphone and calmly surveyed the audience.
In contrast to Lu Nanxin, Yu Anwan provided a detailed account of the perfume’s origins.
This included the various reactions it induced during the fragrance, all of which were presented vividly.
Yu Anwan’s expressions were witty, showcasing her deep dedication and affection for this particular perfume.
The judges seated below the stage also posed numerous sharp questions.
But regardless of the question, Yu Anwan responded with confidence, without a hint of hesitation.
The judges nodded repeatedly, affirming their appreciation for Yu Anwan.
Once again, Yu Anwan stood before the microphone, took a brief pause, and then began speaking slowly. “I stand here not only to prove my mother’s dedication and significance but also because I am delighted and proud to have created the fragrance she had always desired. I believe that if she were still alive and witnessed this scene, she would be immensely pleased.”
As she concluded her statement, Yu Anwan turned her sharp gaze towards the frightened Lu Nanxin..
