Chapter 412: Suppressing Herself

After passing the formula and concoction of her scent to the judges, a few of them took out a piece of testing paper and tested it before nodding their heads. Although she had no idea what they were talking about, judging from their expressions, it was obvious that there weren’t any issues.
“When a reporter interviewed you just now, I overheard that the theme of your design this time is Falling in love. Does that mean being in love with the one and only?”
Shen Qianrou stole a glance at Su Heng before biting her lips and nodding shyly.
“Yes, I think that’s every woman’s dream.”
Su Heng’s eyes softened and he looked at her with gentleness and warmth.
The judge nodded slightly and sniffed the paper again. “Not bad.”
Amongst the judges, the one who remained stoic the entire time was a white-skinned French woman with well-defined features.
The interpreter beside her bent as he spoke to convey Shen Qianrou’s words.
Upon hearing her, she picked up the testing paper and took another whiff of Shen Qianrou’s scent.
The essential oils in the initial scents had settled and the scent had reached the aging stage. This was also the most important part of the scent of a perfume. All the essence was contained, and the mid-tone fragrance lasted the longest. The feelings, mood and emotions that a perfume wanted to express could be conveyed through it.
Then, she put down the paper and looked at Shen Qianrou. She frowned and didn’t speak.
The emcee stood up and said, “All right, let’s welcome the judges to give a score with the perfect score being 10.”
Not long after, the judges had finished scoring.
The emcee quickly straightened her face and looked at the scores. She read aloud,
“The score given by judge Cai Minwei is—9 points!
“The judge from Jiangxi has also given her 9 points!”
“Judge Zhou Luren gave a score of 9 as well! Wow, it’s the best result so far! ”
A victorious smile had already appeared on Shen Qianrou’s face. She straightened her back even more, as though victory was in sight!
“As expected of Rosanna. It seems like she will definitely end up as the top contestant in the local selection!”
“Indeed, I have to say that Shen Qianrou is really strong and capable!”
“But the reviews online have been really bad recently…”
“That’s because when a person becomes popular, there are bound to be scandals! She’s good-looking and talented. She’s really blocking the path of too many others! It’s normal for someone to want to get rid of her!”
“But capability is a slap in the face! This time, we should let some people know their place!”
“Let’s take a look at the scores given by judge Elaine, the judge sent on behalf of the French competition committee.”
There was a long pause. Everyone was nervous as they held their breaths, waiting expectantly for the score Elaine would give.
However, the French judge slowly raised the score in her hand. The number on it shocked everyone.
Su Heng’s face faltered visibly.
The emcee almost couldn’t react in time as she was about to blurt out. She bit her lips and suppressed herself.
“Ahem… judge Elaine’s score is—4.9!”
Damn!
What the hell?
Was this person here to create trouble?
4.9?!
How mocking was the score!
She had failed by 0.1 points!
This was as infuriating as being unable to enter university by failing with one point!
The smug expression on Shen Qianrou’s face fell instantly. Her smile froze and she turned pale!
Su Heng’s face darkened again.
