The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

In the basement of the department store, in addition to the supermarket and food court, there are several small stores for low-end consumers. Among them is a checkered shop called "Baa Baa Sheep". It is also high in quality and low in price, so the business is particularly good.The shops next to it have changed hands several times, but this plaid shop is getting bigger and bigger. It even plans to rent the clothing store next to it that is about to close down, double the size of the store, and sell some clothes in addition to the plaid.

Su Xu wants to improve the environment at home by using his ability to mix perfume, but now that he has no work experience or convincing academic qualifications, if he directly applies for a perfumer job, he will definitely be rejected directly outside the door.

Food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and things to improve life and future must be done step by step, and the first step he decided to take is related to this checkered shop: he intends to imitate some big-name perfumes and rent one in the checkered shop. Location for sale.

It is not expensive to rent a grid in the grid shop. Su Xu went to the store to inquire about the price of the grid while Shen Jiarui was resting at noon, and a more conspicuous grid cost only 300 yuan a month, but he had to pay first. Three months' rent and [-]% of the gross profit of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Su Xu thought about it in his heart. Although the Su family is now in poverty, the rent of 900 yuan is still affordable.What's more, he has space now, the most important perfume is a no-cost business for him, and the empty bottle of branded perfume, for example, 20ml, is only [-] yuan online, almost as much as it sells. How much can you earn.

As for imitating big-name perfumes, it was not difficult for Su Xu, who was a senior perfumer in her previous life.Of course, it is absolutely impossible to mix exactly the same. You must know that there may be thousands of ingredients in a perfume formula. Even if you know the ingredients, if there is a slight error in the proportion of their application, it will lead to different results. No matter how similar the imitation is, an experienced perfumer can smell the difference.

But for customers, the similarity that Su Xu's imitation perfume can achieve is enough for them to not notice any difference.What's more, he used all natural plant fragrances, not harmful perfumes blended with low-quality chemical essences that cost only a few dollars.The latter has a single smell, without the multi-layered smell of natural perfume, and the retention time is very short, but it will evaporate in two or three hours, and after smelling it for a long time, there will be a feeling of dizziness.Although Su Xu's perfume is an imitation, but the perfume should have a full range of top and middle flavors and aftertaste. It is stable in nature and can last for more than 24 hours. It will also change with changes in temperature. The cost is not lower than that of big-name authentic perfumes , can be compared with genuine products.

However, buying imitations of big-name perfumes in lattice shops, no matter how high-end raw materials are used, is still a deception in the final analysis, and it is plagiarism and plagiarism.As a perfumer of a branded perfume company in her previous life, Su Xu also hated imitations and fakes very much. How could she think that now she would do the thing she despised most at the beginning.

It's just that as a semi-literate Su Xu who doesn't even have a high school diploma, he doesn't have any evidence to prove his ability.But even if Su Xu could bear the hardships now and wait for the opportunity, he couldn't bear to let Shen Jiarui, a 12-year-old child, suffer hardships with him.Su Xu could only comfort himself in his heart that this was just a stopgap measure, maybe he would meet an opportunity soon, resume his old job, and never have to do this kind of thing again.

Su Xu has to wait until 09:30 to get off work at night.The business hours of the supermarket are from 09:30 am to 09:30 pm. The staff schedule is divided into three periods, each of four and a half hours. No breaks are allowed.Su Xu asked for leave at noon to pick up Shen Jiarui for dinner, and it took more than two hours before and after. He also left early from work in the morning, so he could only agree to work until [-]:[-] before asking for leave from the manager.

And in a few days, when the entry quota is completed, Su Xu will start to make perfume imitations, all of which must be done in the space, but as soon as he enters the space, his body will fall into a coma, unless he comes out of the space, he will not wake up at all. , and now he is either working in a supermarket or at home, and there is no full time for him to work at all, so Su Xu plans to work more overtime now to save enough basic attendance time so that he can spare a few days off to rest and find A place where no one disturbs you, and you can make perfume in the space with peace of mind.

Shen Jiarui read novels at school for another afternoon. After school was over at 05:30, he changed his style of dawdling until the school gate was about to close before leaving. He grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out, leaving homework in the classroom. The teacher was half dead with anger.

He Yuanjing worked as a waiter in a small restaurant, and when Shen Jiarui was out of school, it was the peak meal time. She had to work until after eight o'clock before returning home, so no one cared about where Shen Jiarui went after school.In the past, Shen Jiarui would either stay at school until the last moment, or go to the nearby university to borrow books, but today he plans to go to Su Xu.

Now is the rush hour, many office workers will stop by the supermarket to buy something at this time, so it is also the busiest time for the supermarket, which really makes Su Xu flustered.He has just passed through for a few days, and the cash register can be used after learning, but he is not yet proficient in changing money, and his movements are a few beats slower than other cashiers, which makes the customers in front of him very irritable. From time to time, a few words of urging and complaints popped up.

Su Xu was being dizzy from these urgings and complaints, and suddenly heard a loud "Dad", he looked along the source of the sound in astonishment, and saw Shen Jiarui standing at the exit of the cashier with his schoolbag on his back smile at him.

Just as Su Xu was about to ask why he came here, the customer who was waiting to pay the bill immediately urged him: "Can we chat later, okay? Pay me the bill first, it's been a long time!"

Su Xu hurriedly apologized, and Shen Jiarui said upon seeing this: "Dad, you go ahead, I'll go to your locker room and sit for a while."

Finally seeing the team leader patrolling over, Su Xu hurriedly raised his hand to signal him to go to the bathroom, took this opportunity to rush to the locker room to find Shen Jiarui, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Jiarui sitting in the corner reading a book, the whole person looked more and more serious She's so petite, it hurts to see her.

"Jia Rui, why don't you go home after school?" Su Xu quickly walked over to sit beside Shen Jiarui, picked him up and sat on her lap.

Shen Jiarui hugged his neck and said softly: "Mom is still at work and won't be home until after eight o'clock. I don't want to stay at home alone."

Su Xu asked again: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Shen Jiarui shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, let's eat together after Dad gets off work."

Su Xu kissed his forehead and said, "Dad is still early to get off work." Then he took out more than a dozen dollars from his trouser pocket and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Go buy a rice bowl, don't be so hungry and let Dad eat it." Distressed. Don’t save money, and show me the receipt when the time comes.”

Shen Jiarui hesitated for a while, but nodded in agreement, and asked again: "What if Dad is hungry?"

Su Xu's heart felt hot, and he hugged Shen Jiarui and kissed him several times, before saying: "Father is not hungry, and he won't do this job after a while, it doesn't matter if he is hungry a few times now."

Knowing that there is a son waiting for her to get off work, when Su Xu returned to the cashier, she felt clear-headed, as if she had taken a stimulant, her movements were much faster, and her mood was much better.The team leader stood aside and took a few glances. He felt that his work was in good condition, so he no longer planned to bring up the matter of Su Xu's son randomly entering and leaving the staff locker room.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Jiarui finished his meal. Instead of going back to the dressing room, he got into the cash register and stood beside Su Xu, holding a box of sushi in his hand, while Su Xu paid the last customer. , the next customer picked up a piece of sushi and stuffed it into Su Xu's mouth when he was putting things from the trolley to the cashier counter.

After all, a place like the cashier is a sensitive place. Guada Lixia, you can't just let non-employees in, so as not to cause trouble. Before Su Xu let Shen Jiarui out, he found something stuffed in his mouth.

Now the customer is a middle-aged woman in her 40s. When she saw a delicate and beautiful little boy tiptoeing to feed the cashier, she couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and said, "This is your brother, why is he so good? I know that the considerate adults work hard, and there is no time for dinner."

"Thank you, auntie, for the compliment. This is what I should do." Shen Jiarui stuffed another piece of sushi into Su Xu's mouth, smiled sweetly, and said, "Auntie, he is not my brother, but my father."

Su Xu's face was tender, and in the eyes of a middle-aged woman, she was no more than 20 years old, and Shen Jiarui was ten years old, so he couldn't imagine that they were father and son, so he said in surprise: "You are lying, kid, how old are you? "

Shen Jiarui continued to smile innocently and said: "Auntie, I am 12 years old, and my father is 35. But many people say that my father does not look like a 30-year-old, and they think he is my brother. Someone asked Dad if he was a work-study college student."

The middle-aged woman got the answer she wanted, and teased Shen Jiarui a few more words. After Su Xu found the money, she carried the bag and left. Xu's mouth.

Su Xu was moved. The money in his hand was not clean, so he could only rub Shen Jiarui's face with the back of his hand, speed up the sushi, and let Shen Jiarui leave before the team leader came over.

Shen Jiarui insisted on waiting for Su Xu to go home together after get off work, but Su Xu couldn't resist him, besides, it was already night and it was dark, Su Xu was worried about Shen Jiarui going on the road alone, so he had to call He Yuanjing to report one time.And when Su Xu and Shen Jiarui got home, it was already past ten o'clock.

While Su Xu was washing up, He Yuanjing called Shen Jiarui to the bedroom and secretly asked him how Su Xu treated him today.

"Dad was very kind to me. He took me to eat hot pot at noon, and ordered me two plates of fat beef. I didn't eat a single bite, so I ate them all." Shen Jiarui briefly concluded.

However, He Yuanjing did not hear what Shen Jiarui said, and her attention was all attracted by the name "father".

"Why...how do you call him dad?" He Yuanjing asked tremblingly, with an expression of disbelief, "Is it...is he forcing you..."

Shen Jiarui frowned: "He treats me very well, I want to call him Dad."

"Don't use this word to call him!" He Yuanjing shouted, her cheeks flushed with anger, and her eyes filled with tears, "Your father is... yes... your father is the best and most outstanding man in the world, such a talent Worthy to be your father! People like Su Xu..."

"What's wrong with him?" Shen Jiarui looked at He Yuanjing coldly, with the same phoenix eyes as his father, He Yuanjing seemed to have returned to the Shen family's mansion 12 years ago, and Shen Chengxuan also used this kind of gaze, and this kind of tone, With a cold tone, he gave her a check and asked her to get rid of the child.He Yuanjing shuddered, took a step back, hit her knee on the bed, and sat down staggeringly.

"The best and most outstanding man in the world you said is just playing with you. How can a person who plays with you be worthy of being my father." Shen Jiarui said calmly, "From today onwards, my father is only Su Xu Alone. Mom, give up, that person won't come back to look for you, even if I do, I won't recognize him. "

After finishing speaking, regardless of He Yuanjing who was still sitting on the bed with tears streaming down his face, muttering "Impossible, Brother Xuan loves me...", Shen Jiarui left the bedroom, and as soon as he went out, he saw Su Xu was washing up. When he came out of the bathroom, his face was wet, and the hair on his forehead was also soaked in water, sticking together and sticking to his face.Seeing Shen Jiarui, Su Xu urged, "Hurry up and go to sleep, there is still class tomorrow."

Shen Jiarui rushed over and hugged his waist, and said softly, "Daddy will sleep with me today too, okay, we can get up and go to work together tomorrow."

Shen Jiarui acted like a baby, Su Xu naturally couldn't refuse, the two of them shared the same bed again logically, after that, Su Xu never had the chance to sleep alone again.

And more than ten years later, when a sweaty exercise was over, Su Xu, who was held in Shen Jiarui's arms, suddenly remembered this day, and couldn't help but angrily grabbed his stepson's neck, and said viciously: "Be honest, are you That’s when it’s time to figure it out!”

Shen Jiarui, who has become an upstart in the business world, smiled and said nothing, but once again put his stepfather under him and answered this question with actions.
