Sweet Revenge By Nuit Chapter 188

Chapter 188 It’s a Paradox.

Moving her eyes to that person, Silvia answered seriously. “Who’s the perfumer doesn’t matter in that question. This test is about analyzing the composition and the pros and cons of perfumes. I didn’t care who created them.”

“So, if the labels were removed and you could focus on the perfumes themselves, would your answers be the same as the ones you handed in just now?” she asked.

Her question floored most of the candidates.

In hindsight, they’d have written different answers without the labels. During the test, they indeed had spent time pondering over whether the perfumes were truly designed by Mr. Will or just a question devised to take their measure.

They’d spent a lot of time and energy on that and didn’t notice that they’d deviated from the core of the competition.

Now, most people were convinced.

However, some of them weren’t so easy to persuade. “I mean no offense. Miss Austin, what you said is brilliant. However, you seem to be too sharp-witted for such a young age. Are you really talented or have you met similar questions before?”

His question was full of malice. It seemed to be an ordinary question, but in fact, he was implying

that someone pulled the strings for her and that her answer was perfect because she had known the

question in advance.

Giving him a meaningful look, Silvia replied, “That’s very offensive. Your question just showed how ignorant you are.”

“As far as I know, there is no direct relationship between smartness and age. There are young and knowledgeable people while there are old and empty-headed ones. Of course, I am not talking about you. I just want to say that how much someone knows does not have much to do with his or her age. I think the fact that you’re here means you’re not likely to fall into the second category.”

She said with a smile. Her tone was level, and she looked neither fazed nor arrogant. It was obvious that she was mocking him for his shallowness, but in the end, she minced her words so that he

wouldn’t be too embarrassed.

The man was so angry that his face turned livid, but he couldn’t say anything more. Otherwise, it would prove him ignorant and make it seem like he wasn’t questioning her, but Mr. Will and the whole competition.

“This competition is very successful, showing us that there are so many talents in this industry. I believe that you can create your own world in this field and make more outstanding perfumes! The competition ends now.we will contact the prize-winners to give them prizes and awards later.”

Get Bonus

After the examiner finished speaking, the competition was over.

Silvia breathed a sigh of relief, making up her mind not to participate in such a kind of competition anymore. I should focus on research. Events like this are literally nightmares.

“Miss Austin!” Before she could leave, someone stopped her. “Mr. Will wants to see you. Please

come with me.”

Silvia didn’t know what Mr. Will wanted, but given that they were still in the venue and after the

kidnapping incident the security had been increased, she should be fine.

She followed that person to an office. After the door was opened, she unexpectedly saw Mr. Will sitting inside.

He watched Silvia walk up to him and gestured for her to sit down.

“You impressed me, Miss Austin.” Will leaned forward a little. Although his words didn’t sound like a compliment but meant recognition at least.

“Thank you,” Silvia replied politely.

“But I doubt what you said just now.” He changed the subject suddenly. “Not affected by the labels? Do you really think so, or is that an excuse to cover the fact that you couldn’t tell who made those perfumes yourself?”

Without waiting for her reply, he continued, “Of course, no matter what, your answer is indeed more precise than others. No matter what, you are undoubtedly the best. This is for sure.”

That was also why he’d asked to have a word with her alone.

“To be honest, I don’t think you should put that question into the test, because it’s a paradox itself.” Silvia didn’t get angry because of his words, her voice unruffled.

“Yeah?” Will raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of disapproval in his tone.

Obviously, he didn’t take her words seriously. He thought that she was just trying to defend herself after he called her bluff. In fact, he wasn’t very satisfied with the test result. He’d planned to choose an outstanding person to be his student, but none of them met his standards.

Although Silvia won first place, the discrimination against America was deeply rooted in his mind and he didn’t believe someone from there could amount to much in this field.

“You want us to resist the external voices and focus on our work. The message you intended to convey is that we shouldn’t focus on the reputation of the perfumers but on the perfumes themselves, right?” she asked.

Will paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. That was indeed his intention. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

A perfumer should pay more attention to the perfume itself. Nowadays, the public only paid

attention to the fame of the perfumers and any perfumes that were said to be made by those famous perfumers were indiscriminately sold at a high price and hyped up. That made it hard for the newcomers in this industry to make their names known.

Will believed that the status quo was unhealthy and people should let go of their stereotypes.

“You deliberately put your name on the bottle to distract our attention but want us to ignore it. In essence, you’ve attached too much importance to the impact of the perfumer’s reputation on the perfume itself. You used it to distract us, but didn’t want us to be distracted. How contradictory.”

Will shook his head. “If you only pay attention to your work, you won’t notice that.”

“Didn’t you succeed?” Although he didn’t want to admit it, it was true.

Silvia laughed. “That’s not what I meant. I’m saying that the quality of perfume shouldn’t be decided by the fame of its perfumer, but that doesn’t mean those two are totally irrelevant.”

“Perfumes and perfumers are inseparable. We perfumers create different types of perfumes, and each of them has its own unique features that reflect the unique personalities of the perfumer. You can’t deny that.”

Will hadn’t taken her words seriously at first, but as she spoke, he slowly sat up straight, nodded

slightly, and the light in his eyes became different.

Intrigued, he looked at Silvia and asked, “You’re right. So do you know who designed those perfumes?”
