90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Apart from Yi Congxin's beautiful face and refined temperament, "Jiong Jiong" and "Lazy" did not feel that there was anything special about the little girl.

However, they both came from wealthy circles and could see that the admiration in Elder Zong's eyes was real. Although they were slightly surprised, they couldn't help but stand up from the sofa and walk closer to Principal Zong.

"This is Mr. Shen Chen from Shanghai SIPG Shen's Pharmaceuticals. He is here to attend this exchange meeting." Zong Qizheng pointed his thumb at "Brother Jiong Jiong" after introducing Yi Congxin.

"Brother Jiong Jiong", who doesn't look "deep" at all, is actually named "Shen Chen", which is a bit mismatched.

It is better to laugh secretly from the heart.

However, Shanghai SIPG Shen's Pharmaceuticals is very famous. She has also heard from the Zheng family father and son that Shen's is among the best pharmaceutical companies in the country. This is indeed the real deal.

Speaking of which, Shen Chen is also in the same industry, and Principal Zong is introducing her to some connections.

Yi Congxin smiled and shook hands with Shen Chen.

"This person is Mr. Shen's friend, Zhang..." Zong Qi was suddenly a little stuck.

"His name is Zhang Chengjin." Shen Chen answered quickly.

"Lazy Brother" Zhang Chengjin just smiled faintly and stretched out his hand towards Yi Congxin.

As he got closer, the smell of agarwood became even stronger.

Yi Congxin's nose felt a little itchy.

I can't help but want to sneeze...

It's really not the right time.

Yi Congxin suppressed the itch in her nose, tried hard to curl the corners of her mouth, and quickly shook hands with him.

As soon as the two of them let go, she immediately took a half step back without leaving any trace, tilted her head and rubbed her nose.

Zhang Chengjin's lazy expression suddenly changed subtly, and he looked at Yi Congxin with a slightly playful look.

Yi Congxin felt a little embarrassed.

After all, these two were the principal's guests, so her dodging just now was indeed rude.

She pushed up her non-existent glasses to hide her embarrassment. "Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm sorry. I'm quite sensitive to the smell of... agarwood..."

Zhang Chengjin was stunned when he heard this, and his playful look turned into a hint of surprise.

This is strange.

It would have been fine if the girl could only smell the scent of ordinary agarwood, but the agarwood pendant he wore was made of the top-grade "daojia" material among agarwood and white agarwood, which is rare in the world.

The flavor of Daojia is not only wonderful, but also has many layers of variation. From a distance, the aroma is sweet, rich and pure, while from close up, the rich aroma is slightly bitter.

But... he has been wearing this peace of mind card for many years, and he feels that the unique scent of white agarwood has long been restrained. It shouldn't be as strong as this girl shows?

There was another point that puzzled him even more - the idea that "Daojia" recognizes its owner.

Once the "Daojia" agarwood incense recognizes its owner, strangers will no longer be able to smell its scent. Strangers who can smell the "Daojia" scent must be the ones with whom they are destined to be.

Zhang Chengjin didn't believe this statement at first, but it was later verified by many people, such as Principal Zong when he first met him, and Shen Chen, who was so close to him that he couldn't smell it at all unless he got close to his neck, so he couldn't help but believe it.

But, this girl in front of me...why can she smell it?

It was like a stone suddenly falling into the lake, silently, but instantly creating ripples in his heart.

Zhang Chengjin was puzzled, but as a son of an aristocratic family, he managed to calm himself down. He touched his chest and asked with a smile, "Miss Yi, can you smell this agarwood?"

He spoke at a moderate speed, and his voice was deep but not greasy, making people feel comfortable. Even though the content had some "unbelievable" connotations, it did not make people feel offended.

As the distance between them grew, Yi Congxin felt a little more comfortable.

She nodded politely and replied, "Well, the fragrance is gentle, long-lasting, and layered. It must be a good material, but..."

I just don’t know whether I should say the following words or not.

She stopped talking instinctively, carefully trailing off.

Mr. Zhang is a friend of Mr. Shen and also a guest of the principal. If he speaks carelessly, not only will he offend others, but he may also embarrass the principal.

The remaining three people looked at her with somewhat subtle expressions.

Shen Chen's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

He looked at Yi Congxin and muttered to himself.

You should know that agarwood is elegant and very rare. It is the "diamond among plants" and has always been the best among the "sandalwood, dragon and musk" fragrances. It has been worth "ten thousand coins per piece" since ancient times!

The price of agarwood is generally determined by the place of origin and the quality of the agarwood. As far as the current general market conditions are concerned, the price of ordinary agarwood is generally tens to hundreds of yuan per gram, and the price of expensive materials may be as high as tens of thousands per gram. The value of top-quality agarwood can even reach hundreds of times that of gold.

This girl is dressed simply and obviously comes from a poor family. How could she possibly understand agarwood?

Besides, she wasn't that close to Cheng Jin, at best it was a reasonable social distance. How could she still smell the scent of the agarwood from half a meter away?

Chengjin has been wearing it for how many years? The smell has long been gone.

I couldn't even smell it when I was so close, so why did this girl react so strongly?!

"Do you really understand agarwood?" he couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Yi Cong felt Shen Chen's distrust in her heart, thinking that he was unhappy with her "rejecting attitude" towards Mr. Zhang. Her heart tightened slightly, but she remained calm and nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, I'm only slightly sensitive to the scent of agarwood, not that I know much about it. However, I do have some knowledge of its types and grades. Mr. Zhang's piece is at least water agarwood, and it might even be a mature piece from the heart of agarwood, which can produce fragrance at low temperatures."

She acted calm and composed.

Zhang Chengjin looked at Yi Congxin carefully from the side, his curiosity completely aroused.

He had been exposed to various spices since he was a child and had a lot of experience in the study of agarwood. He was surprised and excited that the young girl in front of him could smell the unique fragrance of his favorite thing.

"Ms. Yi, could you please tell me about your feelings in detail?" Zhang Chengjin's voice was gentle and curious, with a hint of anticipation in his inquiry.

He tried to guide Yi from the heart to say more.

But his tone seemed to come from the smoke of an incense burner. For some reason, it had a gentle and affectionate taste.

Zongqi was watching all this quietly from the side.

As the girl's self-proclaimed master, he had always hoped to find a truly talented and promising apprentice. Although Yi Congxin came from a poor family, her understanding and sensitivity to medicine clearly surpassed many of her peers.

Zong Qizheng secretly decided in his heart that he would further examine her level to see if she really had the qualifications to become his "closed disciple".

Yi Congxin looked at Zong Qizheng. There was curiosity in the old principal's eyes, and it didn't look like he opposed her speech.

She sniffed quietly for a moment, thought for two seconds, and decided not to hold back and instead give a relatively objective explanation.
