NovelEnglishChapter 333 In fact, this perfumery competition was not considered the most significant event for perfumers.It was more of a competition to discover new talents, so the organizers only invited young blood, like solo participants or perfumery company representatives, to participate in the event.
The junior perfumers who registered as solo participants received special treatment because they could be exempted from the competition's first round.
Due to that, fewer participants would take part in said round.
AS a representative of Rebirth, Lily had no choice but to join the competition's first round.
The task was pretty simple.
Each participant had five perfume bottles and had to identify the ingredients used by smelling them.
On top of that, they would need to identify the perfumes’ base notes.It was a piece of cake for Lily.
Back then, Jenny gave her a similar task to make things difficult for her.
The only difference was that Jenny's task was much more challenging than in the competition's first round.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, Lily finished the task.
She assumed that her failure rate for this round would be low, but it eliminated nearly one-third of the total participants.
At first, she thought only elites were eligible to participate in this competition, but it seemed that was not the case.
What surprised Lily the most was that Melanie had passed the test and could proceed to the second round.
‘Looks like she still has the basics even after muddling around for years" Little did she know that Frank had gotten the answers for the first round through some shady means.
He had given them to Melanie, and she had everything memorized.
The first round ended, and the second round would begin later in the evening of the same day.
Everyone's schedule was packed.
The second round was a written test about theoretical knowledge.
It covered a broad area from fragrances and chemistry, but the most challenging part was the records in ancient formulas and random books.
Around half of the participants had gotten eliminated after this round.
Only a couple dozen participants remained after the first two rounds.
The organizer had prepared flight tickets for the eliminated ones to return home, while those who qualified would need to stay for the final round.
The final round would occur in three days during the evening.
The award ceremony would be held right after that.
Lily thought, ‘The next three days will be so boring.noveteBook.¢om With that personality of hers, Giselle will probably keep an eye on me and stop me from wandering around.
Oh, man!’ Lily sighed and shook her head, pondering how she should pass the time for the next few days.
Coincidentally, someone came over to rid her of her boredom.
"I didn’t expect you to last till the final round.It seems like Rebirth has spent a lot on training you," Melanie mocked as she looked at Lily disdainfully.She was feeling complacent as she had passed the first two rounds.
Lily merely threw Melanie a sideway glance as if she was looking at a clown.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What's there to be surprised about? Anyone could've done it.Even you did it, didn’t you? It's such a pity for those who got eliminated.” "You're just jealous of me.| passed because of my abilities.” Surprisingly, Melanie did not flare up in anger this time.
Instead, she smiled and said, "There's still the final round, and we won't know who's the winner until we get to the end of it." Lily just nodded.
"We'll see about that." She could not be bothered to entertain Melanie any longer and headed outside.
Only the participants were allowed to enter the competition venue.
Those who were uninvolved were not allowed to enter.
Hence, Giselle was still waiting for Lily outside.
"Lily, you think you're going to win the competition, don’t you?" Melanie said.
She was unwilling to let Lily leave so quickly, so she chased after Lily and blocked her path.
"I'm not sure I'm better than the rest, but you?" Lily trailed off and smiled profoundly.
Melanie's expression turned ugly.
‘She’s clearly looking down on me!’ Gritting her teeth, Melanie said, "Don’t be overconfident!" That made Lily chuckle.
"Excuse me.Only someone with great abilities has the right to be overconfident.Do you have that?"
