Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1588 Internally Decided Champion

"Qingzhi, the competition is about to end. Are you confident?" Kang Jichuan had just returned from the company. The packaging of the perfumes had already been put into production after much difficulty. What was next was publicity. When the results of the competition were out, the perfumes would immediately be released. This time, Kang Corporation's perfumes would definitely be internationally renowned.

Kang Qingzhi smiled sweetly. "Don't worry, Brother. I'm confident about winning the championship. I know those contestants very well. Their perfumes can't compare to mine."

"Alright!" Kang Jichuan's eyes flashed with excitement.

"But Sister Xi Xi…" Kang Qingzhi said worriedly, "I don't know Sister Xi Xi's perfume skills, nor have I seen her perfumes. The judges gave her a very high evaluation during the audition and said that she has the ability to compete in the championship. I'm afraid that she…"

"Qingzhi, did Qiao Xi steal your perfume recipes to participate in the competition?" Old Madam Kang suddenly asked, her eyes filled with disdain.

"I… I don't know."

Kang Jichuan's expression was serious. "You can participate in the competition in peace. If she really stole your perfume recipes to participate in the competition, I'll get them back from her. Don't think about past matters as that'll only upset you."

Kang Qingzhi raised her head, and her round eyes curved into crescents. "Alright, Brother. I'm just afraid that Sister Xi Xi… If she wins the championship…"

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Kang shouted sharply and cursed, "Jichuan, you absolutely can't let that little b*tch become the champion. I don't care what method you use, you must stop her!"

Kang Jichuan's expression was a little subtle. Actually, even without tampering, Qingzhi would still be the champion. After all, those judges all knew that Qingzhi was the daughter of the Kang family and Mu Jin. If she was not the champion, it would definitely cause many people to be dissatisfied.

However, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he looked for the judges to have a chat with. After all, the Kang family's assets were all in the perfume business. There could not be any mistakes.

The next day, on the last day of the finals.

At this moment, everyone's perfumes had basically been completed. They also had some understanding of their rankings. The only thing they did not know was Bright Moon's ranking. However, it was already rare for a new perfumer to enter the finals. She probably did not have the ability to compete for the top three.

At midnight, the staff took away the contestants' perfumes and handed them to the judges for review.

Qiao Xi looked at Kang Qingzhi, who was surrounded by everyone trying to please her, and the corners of her mouth curled up in disdain.

…

Two in the afternoon.

The ten bottles of perfume were placed on the table in order. Qiao Xi's number was ten, while Kang Qingzhi's number was nine.

According to the judges' average scores, Kang Qingzhi was ranked first after the first nine scores were given.

"Mu Jin's perfume does smell good and is very special. She'll definitely be in first place this time!"

"That's right! Let's decide on the champion first. We'll consider the second and third-place winners after that."

"Alright, then we'll confirm that it's Miss Kang."

The judges unanimously agreed on this decision. Qiao Xi did not need to think to know that Kang Jichuan must have talked to the judges.

It had only been a few years, but the selection for the International Perfume Competition was already so casual. She remembered that when Madam Leng was still alive, the judges had to write down their thoughts on paper after giving their scores. In order to avoid getting overwhelmed by the perfumes and letting that affect their judgment, Madam Leng appointed judges at the event location to grade from the first perfume. Two would start from the tenth perfume while the other two would grade from the middle. Moreover, the interval between each time they smelled perfumes was fixed to ensure the fairness of the competition.

However, now… Ignoring the hidden tricks, they were not even willing to put on an act. They hurriedly decided on the championship as they were afraid that something would happen.

The judges subconsciously looked at each other and understood that Young Master Kang had already looked for them. Miss Kang had the identity of Mu Jin, and the perfume she made was indeed outstanding. Could Bright Moon be better than Mu Jin?

Kang Qingzhi smiled proudly and subconsciously glanced at Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi stood there indifferently and did not pay attention to the scene.

Her calm appearance made Kang Qingzhi furious.

Why was Qiao Xi always so cold? It was as if nothing she did could affect Qiao Xi. She wished for nothing more than to rush over and tear Qiao Xi's face apart!

However, the International Perfume Competition was just the beginning. Soon, Qiao Xi would know what she was about to face. She wanted to see if Qiao Xi could still be arrogant at that time!

The contestants had also smelled the perfumes of the other nine candidates and had no objections to the rankings. As for the last bottle of perfume, they had not smelled it yet. It was to keep the competition in suspense. However, this was the first time the champion was announced before the score was even given.

Everyone agreed, except for Qiao Xi. The judge asked her unhappily, "Miss Bright Moon, what do you think?"
