I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Shen Sixi simply replied:

I have something to do, you guys go ahead and read this.

Shen Tu Rong was very polite and did not press her for details.

Instead, she pitifully sent an emoji saying "Okay".

Shen Sixi and Yu Chaodi rested in the room for one night.

The next morning at 8:30, the two left home early and headed to Rose Square.

The grand event of the Global Perfumer Competition has begun.

From early morning, the place is packed with people.

In the spectator area, people arrived even earlier than the participants.

Many young perfumers have already made a name for themselves.

Even before they appeared, many fans were already waiting for them.

Some were holding light sticks, others were holding cheering balloons, and still others were enthusiastic fans with banners and paint on their faces.

Fortunately, participants had a special passage to enter the center of the square.

Those watching the game could only stay on the high platform surrounding the square.

Only a limited number of VIP tickets are available to access the stands inside the plaza.

Several temporary rest areas were set up next to the square.

The sign that reads "Group A" is the most eye-catching, and the lounge there is also the largest.

Inside, there are ten chairs and a coffee table, as well as snacks, drinks, fruits, and everything else you could need.

Conversely, Group F's lounge is the smallest and most remote.

There were hundreds of people crammed together, but each person was only given a small stool and a bottle of mineral water.

Shen Sixi accepted it calmly.

Yu Chaodi followed behind her and politely thanked the staff.

Both of them had experienced even harsher environments.

It's good as it is now.

However, some participants were still unhappy.

He muttered a complaint to himself.

"If I had known that Group F was so unethical, I wouldn't have participated."

"Yeah, the advancement rate is so low. Out of all the people in this room, only two of us made it to the semifinals!"

"I heard that other groups have many more spots to advance."

"And there weren't that many participants in the other groups either."

"That's incredibly disrespectful!"

"..."

To ensure fairness and impartiality, this perfumer competition was broadcast live via cameras throughout.

The live stream room was divided into several small rooms.

Cameras were placed in the main stadium, the sub-venues, and the rest rooms for each group.

Many perfumers, fragrance enthusiasts, and others who couldn't attend in person participated in the live stream.

However, the live stream room for Group F was unusually quiet.

The contestants here are all new faces and not highly regarded by the public.

Those watching the live stream simply don't want to waste their time looking at the huge crowds in Group F's live stream.

The most popular channel right now is still Group A's live stream, where every move of those proud young talents is closely watched.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the host announced that the competition was about to begin.

At this moment, all the spectators in the arena and the people in the live broadcast room turned their attention to the center of the square.

The host first introduced the judges for this competition.

The most important one is Mr. Clark.

As soon as he appeared, the audience erupted in screams like a tidal wave, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments that covered the entire screen.

This legendary master, who has created countless exquisite perfumes and written a legendary milestone in the history of perfumery, gently tipped his hat.

Mr. Clark had a snow-white beard, but he looked only in his forties.

He had a kind and gentle demeanor, and his bright eyes sparkled with laughter.

He put his black top hat back on, dressed in a well-tailored suit, and sat as the chief judge.

It's clear that Mr. Clark is a man of great taste and aesthetic sense; his every move exudes a gentle charm.

Only people like this can create legendary perfumes.

The judges who followed were also formidable.

They are all experts deeply involved in the perfume industry, either top perfumers, founders of well-known perfume brands, or biologists with profound knowledge of fragrance research.

In short, as one resounding name after another was read out, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Beside Shen Sixi, Yu Chaodi's eyes were already slightly red with excitement.

It's amazing that we have the opportunity to get up close and personal with names or people that we only see in books or videos.

Even with everyone watching, she felt that her efforts had finally shaken her tragic fate in the slightest.

"Sister Sixi, even if I'm eliminated now, I won't have any regrets."

"Don't say discouraging things." Shen Sixi glanced at her. "We agreed last night that we would make it to the finals together."

“…Okay.” Yu Chaodi smiled somewhat hesitantly.

After introducing the renowned judges...

The host then began introducing the contestants.

She detailed the ten players in Group A, all of whom are favorites to win the championship and are already quite well-known.

The audience loved it, cheering and applauding continuously.

Group B has a total of twenty people, and there are also a few contestants who will be highlighted.

The only difference between them and Group A is that they don't have a good family background and don't have a signature perfume that they can show off.

Only perfumers with a good family background and sufficient resources can independently create their own perfumes and successfully launch them in their twenties.

Even if the perfume itself isn't that good, you can still secretly spend money to boost sales.

The sales figures for their self-created perfumes are a source of pride on their resumes.

As for the later groups, the introductions by the host became increasingly brief.

When it came to Group F, all that was left was, "Let's give a round of applause to the 197 participants in Group F!"

The audience at the scene was not very willing to cooperate.

Shen Sixi and her team walked onto the competition field amidst scattered applause.

The main stadium is located in the very center of the square, with a wide-open space, which is why it received the most camera shots.

The perfumers in Group A stood tall and proud in the center, full of confidence.

In the other groups, the positions on the field were progressively worse.

When we got to Group F, all that was left was the most remote corner.

However, no one pays attention to this aspect.

The audience members near this side were reluctant to come here because they couldn't buy better seats or this was the cheapest option.

As for the live stream, with the match about to begin, Group F was even less popular.

The host cleared his throat and continued to introduce the rules of this preliminary round.

The most important thing for a perfumer is the nose.

So this preliminary round is to test how sensitive the perfumers' noses are.

There are a total of 500 spices carefully selected by the judges.

Everyone needs to say their names within a specified time.

The person who answers the most questions correctly wins.

If the quantities are the same, the one who finishes in the shortest time wins.

The audience was very excited when the rule was announced.

This kind of competition, which combines quantity with time management, is very interesting.

It also makes it easier to see the perfumers' skills.

Shen Tu Rong waved the balloon stick in his hand excitedly and said, "Big brother, it seems we made the right choice coming here. It's going to be very exciting later!"

"But why hasn't my sister-in-law arrived yet..." She looked expectantly at the entrance, but Shen Sixi was still nowhere to be seen.

Shen Tu Mo did not respond, and Shen Tu Rong turned his head to look at him curiously.

"Big brother?"

Shen Tu Rong became even more curious when she noticed Shen Tu Mo's gaze fixed on the corner of the square.

"What are you looking at?"

She was stunned at first glance.

"Is that your sister-in-law?"
