The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

The analysis team is useless after the perfume theme is determined, and the rest is Su Xu's work alone.In order to better understand the dream of a European-style queen, "Shu Nan" gave Su Xu a month's time and sent him to Europe for a field trip to find inspiration.

At the first stop, Su Xu didn't go straight to London or Paris, but went to St. Petersburg, Russia, to visit the Catherine Palace.The mainstream media has already given too much publicity to the British and French nobles. Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Versailles are nothing new to Su Xu. He is more interested in Russia, Italy and the Vatican, but since it is for the theme of He felt that it would be most appropriate to visit the Ekaterina Palace, which was expanded and renovated by Empress Ekaterina II.

The smooth marble floor tiles with geometric patterns, the white walls almost completely covered by the delicate and complicated golden patterns, and the ceiling painted with lifelike figures, all here reveal the luxury and sophistication accumulated by the strong national power and financial resources at that time. Standing in the hall, looking at the portrait of Empress Ekaterina II on the wall, she quietly felt the empress who turned the tide and made Russia the most powerful country in Europe in this magnificent place. A little remnant left in the palace that can reflect its ideal and taste.

"Personally, I don't think she is very beautiful." A man's brisk voice suddenly sounded from behind. The weird tone and the unnatural rise in the end of the sentence made Su Xu subconsciously think that this person was a foreigner, and when he looked back When he went, this handsome Italian guy with black hair, black eyes, three-dimensional features, and plump lips appeared in front of him, which confirmed his idea.

"Do you think I'm right?" the handsome Italian asked again.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were talking to me." Su Xu smiled, turned back and continued to look at the portrait on the wall. In the frame, the woman who once ruled the world's largest country wore silver She wore a gray wide long skirt, a thick purple-red leather robe, and a sky-blue ribbon hanging obliquely on her chest. She exposed her white and plump shoulders and chest, and smiled at the audience a hundred years later.

Su Xu stared at the portrait of the queen for a long time before answering the man's question: "If the beauty you mentioned is only the appearance, then I think you are right. She is not the kind of beauty that makes people stop and make people stop. A beauty who can't breathe. But she has unparalleled temperament and charm. Beauty is too shallow for a woman, and temperament and charm will last forever."

"Very interesting idea." The Italian man moved and stopped beside Su Xu. The distance between them was just right, and a fist could fit between their arms. "However, Empress Catherine II can This incomparable temperament and charm is also thanks to her sick and nervous husband. He drove his wife to a dead end. Ekaterina didn't want to die with him, so she had to overthrow him and become the queen. So, a Behind a great woman, there will always be a wretched man."

Su Xu was amused by his words: "That's not necessarily the case, not all queens are as unhappy in marriage as Catherine II."

"You're right." Following Su Xu's words, the handsome Italian guy overturned what he said three seconds ago, smiled slightly, and stretched out a hand like Su Xu, "Mr. Su Xusu, I can be friends with you ?"

Su Xu froze for a moment, then held his hand with some hesitation: "Uh... how did you know my name?"

The handsome Italian guy raised one eyebrow and bent down - he was half a head taller than Su Xu, and his straight nose almost touched Su Xu's face: "Of course it's my employer...they paid me 50 US dollars , let me take Mr. Su on the road..."

Su Xu's eyes widened, his heart seemed to be empty for a moment, and the ability to think disappeared from his body like a receding tide.He opened his mouth, unable to utter a word, staring blankly at the man who reached into the inside of his suit, found something, and pointed at Su Xu's chest...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Su Xu screamed and shook off the man's hand, and took a big step backwards. When he landed, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground. The man laughed wildly, covering his stomach with one hand, and There is a small one in it - a water gun.

The shrill screams and wild laughter alarmed the entire hall, and soon the security guards surrounded him. One of the security guards helped Su Xu who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, and the rest looked at the man vigilantly. Asked what happened in English with a thick Russian accent.

The man raised his hands and explained apologetically, "I just made a joke to my friend..."

"He's not my friend." Su Xu took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the water on his chest, and explained with a cold face, "I don't know this person, but he appeared out of nowhere and hinted to me in words that he is A terrorist pointed a water gun at me, and I was frightened to make the rude move just now."

"Is what he said true?" The security guard looked at the man again.

The man got stuck, then shrugged, and said, "Yes, what he said is true... Hey, I didn't lie, he is my new friend... I just met a minute ago..."

"Sorry, sir, because of your inappropriate behavior, I'm afraid we have to ask you to leave." The security guard said with a sullen face.

The Italian man bit his lip, this childish gesture made him look extra sexy.

"Okay, okay...I'll leave right away..." He muttered, put the water gun back in his arms, followed the security guard for a few steps, then turned around and shouted to Su Xu: "We will meet again Meet me, my name is Leo Quartosciocchi!"

Su Xu rolled his eyes, declined the security guard's kindness to invite him to the lounge to have a cup of hot cocoa, and left the hall quickly, heading to the next palace.

Su Xu wandered around until dinner time, then reluctantly left Huangcun, took a taxi back to the hotel, and decided to settle his dinner in the hotel restaurant.

At a location with a great view by the window, Su Xu had just picked up the spoon and decided to enjoy the authentic Akroshka cold soup in front of him on a gold-rimmed bone china plate, when a woman appeared in front of her. The uninvited guest unceremoniously pulled away the chair opposite him and sat down.

"It's you." Su Xu raised his head and immediately said in English in a cold voice, "Please leave."

"Still angry?" Leo Quatosiocci's innocent eyes widened. With his weird Chinese, it looked a little funny.

Su Xu narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, forgive me, please." Leo Quatosiocchi laughed, and continued to communicate with Su Xu in Chinese, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, "The joke is really too much, I sincerely apologize." As he spoke, he lowered his head deeply, raised it again after a few seconds, and blinked at Su Xu, "Don't you want to know how I know your name?"

Su Xu lowered his eyes and quietly began to enjoy the food.

"Don't be like this, we still need to be colleagues in the future." The man stretched out his hand to Su Xu again, "Re-introduce yourself: My name is Leo Quatoxiocci, and I am the chief jeweler hired by Shanghua'Shunan' Designer, I will be taking office next month. I saw your name in the employee introduction on the official website of 'Shunan'. I didn't expect to see you in Russia. I was so excited that I made such a bad joke. .I'm really sorry, really."

Su Xu raised her head in astonishment, and after a while, she found a sentence from the back of her mind that seemed to be mentioned by Xu Shunan a long time ago: Shang Hua is going to hire an Italian-American jewelry designer to design accessories for "Shu Nan".

During this period of time, his attention was all on the exhibiting perfumes, and he had long forgotten about the upcoming new colleagues. Did he think that the deal had already been made?

"Remember?" Leo obviously saw through the series of psychological activities behind Su Xu's astonished expression, "Would you like to shake my hand now?"

The other party can't lie to him about this kind of thing, and he only needs to call any high-level "Shunan" later to know the truth.Su Xu chose to believe, and at the same time resisted the urge to roll his eyes again, put down the spoon in his hand, and held Leo's hand: "Nice to meet you, Quato..."

"Quatosciocchi." Leo repeated kindly, "It's a bit difficult to pronounce, you can just call me Leo, so I can call you Xu."

Su Xu politely took his hand out of his broad palm: "Just call me Su Xu."

"Maybe I can call you little..." Seeing Su Xu's increasingly indifferent smile, Leo shut his mouth very discerningly, and unfolded an equally decent smile: "Su Xu."

According to the etiquette, Su Xu should invite Leo to have dinner at the same table, but right now Su Xu doesn't want to talk to this neurotic colleague who has no brains at all, so he bowed his head unceremoniously, and continued to drink soup.

Leo rested his chin with his hands, fixed his eyes on Su Xu's face for a moment, and finally said suddenly: "Is 'Shunan' going to release a Russian-style perfume recently?"

Regarding the perfume, Su Xu didn't want to say too much, but gave a general answer: "It's just a concept about the European royal style."

Leo snapped his fingers, and changed his posture: "It seems that I guessed right, you are here to collect folk songs. No." After Su Xu answered, he continued: "I am not here to collect folk songs. I came to Beijing to take up my post. Before, there was a jewelry touring exhibition in Europe, and now it just arrived in St. Petersburg."

Next, he began to introduce the jewelry he designed and the concept behind it on his own.Su Xu didn't want to hear it at first, but Leo, who was so offline just now that it made people hate him, suddenly seemed to be a different person when he talked about the field of jewelry.Su Xu was quickly attracted by what he said, and even the food couldn't attract his attention again.

Once this conversation started, by the time Su Xu realized it, it was past nine o'clock.

"Ah, I'm so sorry to have delayed you for so long." Leo said apologetically, "I don't have many perfumers in contact with you, but chatting with you is really a very pleasant thing. .I hope you don't dislike me even more because of this."

"How come?" Su Xu denied with some embarrassment, "I enjoyed our chat very much."

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Leo asked, "If you want, I would like to take you to my jewelry exhibition and introduce you personally to those works I just described to you."

"Of course." Su Xu agreed.The two set a time for an appointment the next day, left the restaurant and went upstairs, and parted ways in the elevator.

Back in the room, Su Xu decided to take a bath to relax, just laying down in the bathtub, the phone vibrated.

"I just finished the meeting." Shen Jiarui's slightly tired voice came from the phone, "I heard from the bodyguard that you were made an exaggerated joke today, and the person who made the joke was still sitting with you at night dinner at the table."

Su Xu knew that Shen Jiarui had sent several bodyguards to hide in the dark, no matter at home or abroad, they all followed him closely.He didn't feel that Shen Jiarui had violated his privacy and freedom, Shen Jiarui's family was complicated, and he was close to Shen Jiarui, so it was inevitable that some people with insufficient brains would come up with a whim and decide to attack him to revenge Shen Jiarui.Su Xu almost had a car accident last year. If an accompanying bodyguard hadn't knocked the car away in time, at the speed of the car, he might have been seriously injured.

"That person is the chief jewelry designer newly hired by 'Shunan'." Su Xu explained, "After all, he will be a colleague in the future, but sometimes he can't tell the difference, and he didn't cause me any big losses. It is necessary to fight against him."

"Wait a minute." Shen Jiarui said quickly. Immediately, Su Xu heard a vague voice on the phone, as if he was explaining something to someone else. After a while, Shen Jiarui started talking again, "I found out, it is indeed he."

As he said that, he sighed a long time, and his voice suddenly became aggrieved: "Dad, I think you can't sleep or eat because of your thoughts, but you chat happily with other men."

"How do you talk?" Shen Jiarui's deep "resentment" tone made Su Xu blush and hurriedly reprimanded him, but followed him soft-heartedly, and after a moment of silence, he whispered: "Dad also misses it very much." you."

Shen Jiarui laughed softly: "What is Dad doing?"

"I'm taking a bath." Su Xu said honestly, "I'm a little tired after walking all day today."

"...Really?" Shen Jiarui's voice suddenly sounded dry, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I took a bath with my father."

"Didn't you just soak in the hot spring together a while ago?" Su Xu rested his head on the edge of the bathtub, looking at the beautiful geometric patterns on the ceiling.

"I want to soak in hot springs with Dad every day." Shen Jiarui's voice became lower and lower, "Daddy's body is so slippery, it's a pleasure to soak in hot springs with you..."

Su Xu's hands trembled, and he almost threw his phone into the bathtub. He coughed dryly, and said quickly, "My phone is going to run out of battery, let's talk later!" Then he hung up the phone, clutching his throbbing heart , with a howl, the whole person sank into the water.

And in a suite a few floors away, Su Xu's new colleague Leo Quatosiocchi, whom Su Xu just met, propped up the glass on the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the bright lights downstairs.

"Since I have gone this time, I will definitely bring him back." He whispered in Italian, "I heard that he is in a bad situation and his status is precarious. If I go to the fire again, he will definitely be able to fall." come down."

"Why did you fall in love with him? Oh, don't ask me, I don't know either." Leo left the floor-to-ceiling windows, sat down on the deck chair on the balcony, smoked a cigar and bit it in his mouth, opened the Lighter lit, "Love? Who knows if it's love. It's just that every time I see him, I want to strip him off and fuck him hard. I've been fantasizing since I was 15, and now I'm 20 Years later, the enthusiasm is still undiminished, from this level of persistence, maybe it can be called love."

"No, no, why?" Leo burst out laughing. "Please, I'm not an innocent boy who swore to protect his princess. I'm an Italian man, and he's not a princess."

"Oh, no need, no need to send someone here, I have already found the prey." He slowly exhaled light blue smoke from his mouth, under the dim light, the smoke lingering around his face made him look more A bit misty and sexy, "I'm pursuing him."

"My good sister." He said lazily, "I'm not like you, I only want one result. You know, the process is equally important, and the prey you get is just a reward for an intense and exciting hunt."
