Chong Jianzhi's face changed slightly and he pursed his lips. She could actually see some embarrassment on his face. Seeing him hesitantly said, "When you were in college, you posted it on social networks a few times."

Nie Zheng frowned, thought for a long time and asked back: "You still have the time to read this?"

He coughed twice and said, "I found it by accident."

How could someone have seen it? She hardly had the habit of checking her Moments. Every time she was awake late at night, she would click on her homepage and read every post.

That's why I remember it so clearly.

Nie Zheng had no doubts and took the sweet cake happily, starting to chew it like a little rabbit.

After the dishes were served, the two had a good meal. Richard's phone stuck at the right time, and just as they put down their chopsticks, his call came in.

"Boss Chong, I checked and found that the people on the list have no direct connection with Rose, but one of them once worked in her lover's company."

"Sui Yu's company?"

"That's right. I guessed there should be some connection between the two. After checking further, I really guessed it right. This person is the younger brother of the driver hired by Sui Yu. I guess they used this relationship to secretly switch Rose and Miss Nie Zheng. After this semi-final, the final will be held in Bei'an. The staff on the list were recruited temporarily, and they probably won't participate in the competition anymore."

"Okay, I understand." He paused for a few seconds and then continued, "Find that person and use whatever means, whether it's coercion or bribery, to make him tell the truth."

After hanging up the phone, Nie Zheng gave him a thumbs up: "Is Richard some kind of private detective? How can he find out everything?"

"Although he is not a private detective, he does know some private detectives, and this is part of his job." Chong Jianzhi explained patiently, "To do business, you must know yourself and your enemy."

Richard was so efficient that the two of them had just returned home and hadn't even sat down when the doorbell rang.

"Mr. Chong, I found that person. He was not tight-lipped and he told the truth after a while." Richard took out his mobile phone and prepared to play the recording.

"Did you use coercion or bribery?"

Richard disagreed: "It cost a little money."

"How many?"

Richard gestured a number and Nie Zheng suddenly felt heartbroken. Although money can make the world go round, this money can't be spent like this!

As if he could see her pain, Richard quickly comforted her, "It's okay, Mr. Chong has money."

Chong Jianzhi also echoed: "I have money."

Fine……

What the person said in the recording was very similar to what they had analyzed before, and Rose really let her bag the fragrance of both of them.

The day before the competition, all contestants participating in the semi-finals must report their names to the organizer.

He was also the one who told Rose about Nie Zheng's plan to make the goose pear tent incense. She had not prepared anything at all, so the ingredients she used were just pieced together.

"Show the recording to the jury. I believe they will clear my name."

They sent the recording to Mr. Jian, and received a reply that the evidence was still insufficient and the organizers and judges needed to hold a meeting to discuss it.

The next morning, Mr. Jian finally called and told Nie Zheng good news and bad news.

The bad news is that they feel that the recording cannot be considered conclusive evidence and its authenticity remains to be discussed.

So what’s the good news?

The good news is that after the judges smelled the incense made by Nie Zheng and compared it with Rose's entry in the exhibition room, they felt that it was made by the same person. In order to ensure fairness of the competition, they decided to let the two of them have another try.

The results of the on-site competition will be available in three days, which can ensure fairness and will not delay the registration time for the finals.

"Okay, I agree to compete with her again."

The jury's decision was exactly what Nie Zheng wanted. She had a clear conscience and felt confident no matter how many times she competed.

But it's different for Rose. She got the chance to advance to the semi-finals through illegal means.

When she received the call from the judges for the retest, she was devastated. She resisted at first, saying that the judges did not respect her and she refused to compete again, but she received an ultimatum from the judges, saying that if she did not compete, they would directly cancel her place in the competition and declare her a cheater. She finally compromised.

I gritted my teeth and competed with Nie Zheng again.

In order to demonstrate the fairness of the competition, the organizer specially asked the staff to set up the camera for this two-person PK and broadcast it live.

Knowing in advance that the live broadcast would be held, Rose had already hired a large number of internet trolls, who were just waiting to flood the screen with messages for Rose during the live broadcast.

The game had just begun and there was already a group of netizens cheering for Rose in the barrage, while Nie Zheng's side seemed a little bleak.

The other players who learned about the situation and came to watch the match between the two were also talking.

Rose is not good at doing serious work, but she is first-rate at building interpersonal relationships. In just a few days, after only meeting these people a few times during the preliminary and semi-finals, she has quickly established good relationships with them and even has private contact with them.

It was the same old story. She told the contestants about Nie Zheng's identity and background, and that since Nie Zheng had relationships with Tou Yun and Chong Jianzhi, she would definitely get a good result in the end.

Other perfume makers without background will be squeezed out by her.

When the contestants heard this, they immediately became nervous and shared the same hatred with Rose.

They thought that as long as they pushed Nie Zheng down, they would have a chance to take the position.

Rose knew that she was no match for Nie Zheng and could only place her hopes on her "assists".

With the permission of the judges, other contestants can enter the venue to watch the two people's competition.

When the operation just started, several people gathered around Nie Zheng, deliberately speaking in a sarcastic tone and whispering in a voice that only she could hear.

"As the heir of Tang Xiang and the future wife of Tou Yun, why do you have to share the spoils with us commoners? If you want to be the champion, why don't you just let the judges choose one for you?"

"Yes, some people are born with good fortune, unlike us. Even if we work so hard, we won't end up picking up things that others don't want."

"That's right! He can call the wind and rain with just a wave of his hand. Poor us runners-up..."

"Look at her expression. She looks like she has really been wronged. She is so shameless. She relies on men to get to the top..."

"..."

There was a constant stream of voices around, almost all of them sarcastic and weird.

But Nie Zheng had no time to care. She knew it was a trap. They just wanted to use provocation to break her psychological defenses and buy Rose a last chance.

She would not be fooled. This game was very important to her. No matter what those people said, the final result would not lie.

All her operations were smooth and even more stable than in the previous game.

Everyone hopes that she loses, so she must win.

As the operation progressed steadily, the voices of the surrounding players fell silent one by one.

It was not because of anything else, but because they were impressed by Nie Zheng's skills. They thought that Nie Zheng was just a fool who got to the top by relying on connections, but when they saw her making incense so skillfully, all the disputes turned into silence.

Strength shut them up.
