Chapter 413: I Deducted 0.1 Points Because I’m Afraid You’ll Be Arrogant
“What’s going on? Is this foreigner here to create trouble?”
“Are you looking down on our country’s scent-making techniques?”
“This is obviously discrimination against our people! They’re not giving our countrymen any respect!”
“But… he gave the other contestants a score of at least 6…”
“Tsk, but Rosanna is the number one perfumer in our country. And he didn’t even pass her! He’s obviously here to stir trouble!”
“That’s right…”
The emcee was also feeling indignant. This Elaine was acting too carelessly. International communication was already very sensitive. No matter how unhappy she was, she couldn’t just fail anyone, let alone Shen Qianrou!
Despite the chaos, the emcee still tried to smooth things over. “Er… can you ask Miss Elaine why she gave our contestant such a low score? The other judges gave high marks…”
The interpreter bent down to help with the translation.
At that, Elaine looked up, her brows furrowed and her expression was arrogant. She fiddled with her hands, her lips parting as she said something.
She spoke in fluent French, which most people couldn’t understand.
It was only then that Shen Fanxing slowly stopped what she was doing. She was almost the last few to complete. But Shen Qianrou’s scoring incident had delayed the process, and it resulted in a stop.
She naturally understood what Elaine meant. She looked up at the judge and a faint smile flashed across her eyes.
The interpreter stood awkwardly and didn’t translate her explanation immediately. Shen Qianrou stared at the interpreter unhappily and Su Heng’s gaze landed on her.
Everyone looked at the translator with resentment in their eyes.
The interpreter could only force himself to translate the sentence awkwardly.
“Falling in love with only you? What a selfish relationship!”
Everyone was taken aback by the translation.
The other judges looked at Elaine with even more curiosity and dissatisfaction.
They all agreed that foreigners were pretentious when it came to such matters.
Elaine paused before continuing,
“Moreover, I feel that this perfume doesn’t exude the feeling of love. It gives people a strange feeling. It seems like… some sort of willingly given and cared for feeling. Yet, it emits such a strong desire… No, no, no… I can’t describe that feeling! This scent itself is fine, but to me, it’s not a complete product! So I gave half of the score. That 0.1 point was deducted because I was afraid that you would be too arrogant! Yes, that’s my answer!”
Pfft!
Everyone gasped in shock again.
Deducting 0.1 points for fear of being arrogant?
How merciful was she!
Shen Qianrou was so livid that her nose nearly turned crooked!
After the lengthy speech, the scent itself was fine?
Since there was no problem, why wasn’t it a complete work?!
This foreigner was really hard to please. She was so pretentious!
The emcee was also dumbfounded. “Erm… so Miss Shen Qianrou’s total score is 31.9 points. Overall, her ranking is quite high… All right, next. Let’s invite the next contestant to present her work…”
Shen Fanxing was the last to complete. Everyone knew who had finished their scent first and who was the last to finish.
