The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

Considering the economic situation of the Su family, Zhao Junnan did not choose an expensive western restaurant, so as not to give people a feeling of superiority and pretentiousness, adding psychological burden to Su Xu for no reason, and also considering that the two children are not suitable for eating too stimulating food , so I chose Xiaoqiao Liushui, a mid-range Zhejiang restaurant on Shunjiang Road, where the per capita consumption is less than [-] yuan.This unintentionally also took care of Su Xu's bland eating habits.

The economic conditions, life experience and social status of the two families are completely different, but as long as there is a common entry point of children, the atmosphere at the dinner table will soon become lively, and Zhao's mother also intends to make friends with Su Xu, deliberately turning the topic Lead to the fragrance and perfume that Su Xu is most familiar with.

"Speaking of which, there is no birthday present you gave Xiaoxuan." Mother Zhao smiled softly, "Xiaoxuan liked it very much, so she took me to try to mix that bottle of 'Artemis' the next day. But after all, it’s not as good as a professional, after a day of blending, the taste of the final blend is completely different from the bottle you gave me.”

"Yes, yes." Zhao Xiaoxuan hurriedly took over the conversation, looked at Su Xu, her eyes sparkled, "Uncle Su, how did you adjust it? I followed the instructions you gave me, but why can't I adjust it?" What kind of taste?"

Zhao Junnan said: "It's the same as cooking. Even if you have a recipe, the dishes made by beginners are not as good as the skills of chefs. The difference between amateurs and professionals is the same."

Mother Zhao nodded in agreement with her husband's words, then looked at Su Xu and asked, "By the way, Xiao Su, did you create the perfume formula you gave Xiaoxuan yourself?" After the two families got acquainted, Zhao Junnan and Mother Zhao's address to Su Xu has changed to "Xiao Su", and Su Xu's address to the couple has correspondingly changed to "Brother Zhao" and "Sister Gu".

Su Xu paused for a second, and said, "It's true that I created them myself."

Mother Zhao smiled and said, "No wonder, I have been using perfume for decades, but I have never smelled a perfume similar to the four bottles of perfume you sent me. Speaking of which, I don't know which company you worked for. There are not many excellent perfumers like you who are willing to stay in China."

Su Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm ashamed to say, I don't have any formal job right now, I just mix up some perfume at home and sell it to make ends meet."

In fact, Su Xu felt that the meal was inexplicable.How could a social elite like Zhao Junnan suddenly think of having dinner with him? The huge difference in social status between the two families would make it impossible for them to meet under normal circumstances. However, if it is simply because Zhao Xiaoxuan and Shen Jiarui are friends, the reason is too far-fetched.It was only now that Su Xu vaguely felt that he had grasped the point, and immediately gathered 12 points of energy to deal with Zhao's mother's next words.

"How is it possible?" Zhao's mother pretended to be surprised, and then complained for Su Xu, "In this society, people are too concerned about relationships, and talents are always buried. Those cosmetic companies in China can't come up with a decent work. Come, and keep people like you out."

"This problem... is actually my own responsibility." Su Xu said calmly, "After all, I don't have a degree or a diploma, so I can't prove my strength."

Zhao Junnan said: "Strength cannot be proved by these things. Now domestic enterprises pay too much attention to these imaginary things, and cannot develop because they cannot see the essence."

"However, education is an important stepping stone. Without this stepping stone, others will not even give you a chance to show yourself." Su Xu laughed at herself.

The topic was finally brought here, Mother Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Xiao Su, you can tell from those four bottles of perfume that you are a talented perfumer. You are still young, and you can't be willing to be buried for the rest of your life." , waste your talents on those casually made perfumes."

"If there is a chance, I also hope that I can get a chance to show my strength." Su Xu lowered his head slightly, pretending to be in a daze, and continued to follow Zhao's mother's words, "How can this kind of opportunity be so easy?" There are too many people in this world who don’t have the opportunity to show themselves to others, and I’m not one of them.”

Zhao's mother immediately said: "How come, there is an opportunity right now, but I don't know if you want it or not."

coming!Su Xu immediately straightened her body, put on a surprised expression, and asked, "What chance?"

Mother Zhao said: "Xiao Su, I wonder if you are interested in opening your own studio?"

"Studio?" Su Xu looked at Zhao's mother in surprise. He thought that the other party was going to introduce him a job, but he didn't expect it to be a studio.

Now that the topic has been brought to this point, Zhao's mother directly opened up her purpose and said: "You also know that perfume is like clothes. Although brand-name clothes look good, they are also designed for most people. , without taking into account the uniqueness of the individual. But everyone is different. If you want the clothes that suit you best, you still have to ask someone to customize the design for your own style and characteristics. This is especially true for fragrances.

"But I can find a designer to design and cut clothes individually, but I can't find a suitable perfumer for perfume. After all, only a few perfume brands have launched the service of custom perfumes, which are expensive and time-consuming to make. The appointment of a perfumer has to wait for several years, and the other party may not be willing to accept your order. In China, perfumers are extremely scarce. If I have the ability to make a suitable perfume for me, it has long been accepted by a large company. If the job is gone, there is no time and energy to make custom perfumes, and if the blend is not suitable, it will smash your own signboard."

"I always thought that I could only go to the counter to buy perfume for the rest of my life, until I saw your works." Mother Zhao looked at Su Xu without hiding the admiration in her eyes, "Xiao Su, I would like to invite you Create a perfume for me that only belongs to me. I don’t know if you are willing. Of course, the price is easy to talk about, and I will never treat you badly. I will not let you work for me alone. I have many friends who are Like me, I can introduce you to them. What do you think?"

People like Mrs. Zhao don’t need to use famous brands to prove their identity and financial resources. To some extent, no brand is the best brand. An out-of-print unique customization can show their identity better than any famous brand. .For clothing and perfume, everyone pays more attention to the final effect, which reflects a person's taste and style, which cannot be fully displayed by an expensive Armani or Prada.

Su Xu pondered.Being a private perfumer is indeed a good way out for him now.He doesn't want to spend his whole life selling imitations of big-name perfumes in lattice shops, but with his current qualifications, he can't find a formal job. Even if Zhao Junnan kindly recommends him to work in a daily chemical company, as a newcomer with no education, I am afraid that for a long time, I can only help others, wasting time in vain.

But being a private perfumer is different, he can create whatever he wants, without the limitation of qualifications, and without the suppression of office struggles, he can directly rely on his own strength to make a name for himself in a more influential circle.For Su Xu, this is an easy way to gain both fame and fortune, and when he is famous enough, a large daily chemical company will inevitably come to hire him. Have more space to display.

Seeing that Su Xu was silent, Zhao's mother hurriedly said, "Don't worry about this matter, you can think about it slowly."

Su Xu put down his chopsticks, raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, Sister Gu is willing to give me this opportunity, of course I can't be unwilling. When it is convenient for you, I will discuss this issue with you again."

Like designing clothing, the modulation of custom-made perfumes also requires the collection of various preliminary data before entering into the modulation work.Perfumers need to conduct a series of multiple sensory experiments, from the touch of color and scenery, the impact of sound and environmental atmosphere, the tactile sensation of various materials such as silk and cloth, as well as natural spices and different fragrances. Adjusting the awakening of the sense of smell, etc., to tap the user's subconscious memory of the preferred fragrance and the knowledge and understanding of the fragrance.

At the same time, it is best for the perfumer to have a deep understanding of the user. In addition to her age, appearance and occupation, she also needs to understand her personality and hobbies, and even her dressing style, so that she can create the best fragrance. Perfume that suits each other.All these series of tasks require Zhao's mother to spare enough time to communicate with Su Xu.In addition, for the protection of the rights and interests of both parties, there are still some legal issues that need to be resolved.

After Su Xu and Zhao's mother decided on the time and place for their first meeting, Zhao Junnan said, "Let's chat after dinner if you have anything to do. Use one mind and two tasks, and be careful of indigestion."

Su Xu also knew that these work matters sounded quite boring, and it was not suitable to discuss at the dinner table with children present, so she changed the topic and talked about the children's upcoming junior high school life.

The guests of honor enjoyed the dinner. After the meal, the two families went to the cinema to watch a movie together. After the movie was over, Su Xu got into Zhao Junnan's warm invitation and returned home in his car.Su Xu didn't let Zhao Junnan drive the car downstairs, and got out of the car at the gate of the community. After watching the other party's car leave, Su Xu took Shen Jiarui's hand and walked back.
