The rich man and the poor man

"Crooked~ I'm Liszt."

The next day, early in the morning, Han Fu was frying his Sunshine Smile Breakfast Eggs.He picked up the phone without any hassle, and almost broke the egg yolk with a single sentence.

"Fuck, where did you get my number?"

"I called Glass College." On the other end of the phone, Liszt in the suburbs of England was wearing silk pajamas, sitting on the balcony with lace curtains, sipping his small white porcelain against the night view of the Thames. Glass of milk before going to bed.

"The aunt of Glass's current principal used to be an apprentice at my grandfather's place, and she gave me whatever I wanted. Let me ask you, will you participate in this year's Perfumer Awards?"

PerfumerAwards is exactly the "Perfumer Skills Competition" that Pei Zhen participated in when he was 19 years old.

"..." Han Fu didn't think about it.

Before that, he was only instilled by Pei Zhen that he must make a good work and participate in the "Top Ten of the Year" to hit the hall of the collection, and he never cared about other competitions in the industry.

"It's super nerve-wracking on my side~" Liszt sighed on the other end of the phone.

"The tournament committee has invited me to participate, and has already sent several emails to my grandfather. Although it should be just to increase the gimmick of the competition, but if my grandfather has been at home thinking about it, I am also very embarrassed. I have participated once before. It's over, by the way, Pei Zhen should have told you about that time, right?"

Yes.

He also talked about the final result-after Liszt reached the top [-], he withdrew because he was "too boring".

"No way, it's just really boring. Compared with a group of real and fragile middle-aged people, you have to watch them cry when you win. If there were opponents like you on the field at that time, I might still be able to play for a while .”

"However, I heard that there is a very good rookie in the countryside here this year. He is only 16 years old. I really want to meet him. I hope that the little boy will not cry and retire from the competition."

Han Fu: "..."

"I still think it would be great if you could come too."

"How is it, Han Fu? The Perfumer Awards China preliminaries will be held in early autumn, and there are about four months left, which should be enough for you to get started. How about it, dare to enter the international competition and compete with me?"

***

Han Fu: "Zhenzhen, I want to go!"

They were provoked by phone calls, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Pei Zhen glanced at Han Fu indifferently: "Don't pay attention to him."

Han Fu: "I also know that if I want to participate in the competition now, I will be a little tight in terms of time. However, since Liszt only studied for a month, he entered the international competition and reached the top [-]..."

Pei Zhen: "You're not Liszt!"

In the air, there was actually a little bit of gunpowder, but Han Fu was still being silly: "But you said that my aptitude is no worse than him, so if he can do it, I should give it a try."

Pei Zhen didn't answer any more, and just stood up with a cold face.

"Zhen..."

……

In the spice table in the garden glass room, the sound of the beaker is louder than usual.

Pei Zhen knew that his temper was not bad at all, after being with Han Fu, he actually tried to cover up part of it.

So the little wolf dog is used to seeing his awkwardness on weekdays, but he doesn't know that he still has a surly side.

It's not that I'm afraid to frighten him.

It was because he was afraid that he would no longer be able to maintain his usual mature, calm and stable image of an excellent financial master, and that his beautiful black pupils would show a look of disappointment and fear.

Under the same roof, Yi Changqing just... looked at him like a monster.

Fuck, angry!

……

Lavender, Basil, Petitgrain...

Aroma can make people feel good, and incense can also make people calm, and it has always been like this.

Even in the melancholy days when you can't get what you want, even if you have nothing and are on the verge of despair, as long as you sit by the incense table, you can quickly find yourself.

"Look at Zhenzhen, there is a bird that I have never seen before on the tree over the yard. It has a red beak and is super cute."

In the sun, Han Fu moved a stool beside him and sat down, tugging at the hem of his shirt with his slender fingers.

"The evening primrose you planted is also blooming, what should I do? It attracts a lot of hornets, do you want to drive them away?"

"Zhenzhen, ah, this lamp is so hot! It hurts——"

Pei Zhen: "!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Pretend again!Fooled again!Pei Zhen heaved a sigh of relief.The shiny golden liquid in the test tube in his hand reflected Han Fu's flattering eyes.

"If you keep doing this... this month's salary will be deducted."

Han Fu: "Huh?"

Pei Zhen: "Just now! Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen called four more times!"

"Three and a half times." Han Fu corrected in a small voice.

Pei Zhen: "..."

The test tube was taken by the little wolf dog and put aside, his hand was pulled up, and he rubbed against the young man's pretty cheek.

The little wolf dog is really good at using the unsolvable bombing method of "charm". He is so handsome, but he raises his eyes to look at people aggrievedly, which is too foul.

"Zhenzhen, I was wrong. I listen to you. I won't participate in that competition. Don't be angry."

"What you said is correct. Moreover, a certain great man also said it before—'If we don't have the necessary and sufficient preparations, we will inevitably fall into a passive position and rush to fight temporarily. There is no guarantee of victory.'"

Pei Zhen: "..."

"Also, 'Anyone who is not ready, don't force yourself to do it anytime and anywhere'. I really know that I am wrong."

Pei Zhen: "..."

The young man who was particularly liked apologized with a hoarse voice and acted cutely. It is estimated that everyone has to surrender. Anyway, Pei Zhen can't get angry.

In the end, I could only sigh: "Han Xiaohua, let me ask you, is perfumeing very 'simple' in your eyes? You only regard all of this...as simple, superficial, and rough things that can be done quickly?"

Han Fu: "...No."

"Did you know? Every year in the PerfumerAwards competitions in various countries, there will be many grandpas and grandmas contestants. Many contestants may never win the prize, but they will still bring their newly acquired knowledge and skills to the field every year. Do it all over again!"

"There are a lot of people in this world, perhaps enough without fame and qualifications, but at least they all have the purest enthusiasm and love for their dreams. No matter how many failures and blows they suffer, they will never give up. In my opinion, It is not an exaggeration to say that such a thing is the 'soul' of a perfumer."

"Even if you are inexperienced and talented, as long as you are a perfumer with a soul, the works you make will not be too bad."

"Conversely, for a perfumer without a 'soul', even if he wins the PA (Perfumer Awards) award and the top ten of the year, it will always be a momentary success."

"It is impossible to stand the test of time. The work has no soul. Even if it is a smash hit, it will pass without a trace in the end, and nothing will be left behind."

"Han Xiaohua, more than anyone else, I hope that you can become the 'Top Ten' as soon as possible and enter the palace. However, if it is such a top ten without connotation, I would rather you not have it."

"..."

In a sense, Pei Zhen always feels that the entire industry is now particularly impetuous and eager for quick success, which is largely brought about by Liszt.

Ever since he had the miracle of "breaking out of the siege and qualifying for the British qualification after only one month of training at the age of 15", many newcomers with high self-esteem are facing the complex knowledge and infinite unknown fragrance field. With blind optimism.

[Since there are people who can use it for just a month, it might be faster and more powerful if it is me. 】

[Just one month, you can be stronger than others who have worked hard for ten or eight years! 】

But that's not the case at all.

Liszt is just a special case.His success is also the joint result of his talent, luck and family capital operation.

What many people don't see is that there are still many talented and passionate people in this industry who have risked everything and are still working hard and struggling.

……

……

Generally speaking, in their family, Han Fu tends to play the role of chattering and worrying all day long.

Since I had him, there were flowers in the vase, succulents on the window sill, cute curtains, and the empty house became popular.

Pei Zhen, on the other hand, is good at having a lot of inner drama, with a calm face.

Today, it was rare to be uncharacteristically, and President Pei taught Han Fu a long speech, and the result was——Han Fu sat and listened obediently the whole time, and finally nodded and said: "Zhenzhen, you look like my father."

"……"like what?Can you say that again?

"No, to be precise, it's not like my dad, but like my 'ideal father'. You don't know, I always want to have a stern face so that I can sit on the sofa obediently, and then talk about me, It's a pity that the high-spirited talk was given to the father who established the three correct views on life, alas..."

Pei Zhen suddenly lost the enthusiasm to continue preaching.

Silently sat back on the sofa, like a salted fish.

So, for a long time, you are so obedient with me all day long, are you looking for fatherly love?

I can't help it, it really feels like that...

Forget it, fatherly love is fatherly love.It is already good if the money relationship can be turned into a father's love, so we can't be too harsh.

Sighing, got up.

Han Fu: "Zhenzhen?"

Pei Zhen turned his face awkwardly and said impatiently: "Didn't I agree to take you to a red wine and candlelight dinner today? It's getting late, why don't you change your clothes?"

The little wolf dog jumped up: "Ok, go, go, go, go!"

The author has something to say: Someone who has been living in the lines has been online warning...

Han Fu: Hey, what, WHAT? !No no no, I want a sweet candlelight dinner!
