Even the socialites couldn't help but shake their heads at the people of Fengyun Group in the lobby on the first floor.

The perfume launch was treated like a promotional event.

Such a downgrade indeed.

"This company has no future," Xie Xiangjin said with a laugh as he lit a cigar.

At that moment,

the media reporters started aiming their cameras and photo cameras at the audience!

Seeing this, Xie Xiangjin raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"

"Oh, just capturing the excitement," replied a journalist from the Lake City Evening News while snapping photos.

They are media people.

They don't care which perfume is better.

Their job is to create a topic of conversation!

Clearly,

having King Liu let fans try out the perfume here was far more buzzworthy than the lackluster launch event.

Xie Xiangjin's brow furrowed even more, as he wanted to step forward and stop them.

But he was stopped by Jin Nana next to him.

Jin Nana's mouth curved into a sinister smile, "Don't hurry to intercept. A new piece of news will be out by noon. For instance, 'Three-time Golden Hippo Award-winning actor Heavenly King Liu has fallen so far as to personally sell products.' Don't you find it interesting?"

"Yeah!"

Xie Xiangjin's eyes lit up, "That's a brilliant idea! Not only that, but there will also be news like 'Fengyun Group's new product launch turns into a major promotional event,' completely destroying their reputation, hahaha..."

He then turned his laughing face to the more than a hundred media present and said, "Shoot away! Make sure to take lots of photos! Hahaha..."

In the lobby on the first floor.

Under Heavenly King Liu's management, the fans tried out the products in an orderly fashion.

A girl who had just tried it seemed to be immersed in the wonderful scent of the perfume, smiling with eyes full of happiness.

Zheng Weiwei, acting as a "reporter" beside her, asked with a smile, "Could you share your thoughts about this product? How would you rate it?"

"Great, it's really amazing! This is the best perfume I've ever used!!"

The woman said excitedly.

Then came the second, third, fourth...

Their reviews were all consistent, all deeming it the best perfume they had ever seen, and some even wanted to buy a hundred bottles on the spot.

Meanwhile,

Wei Yunxiang and others still wore faces filled with worry. In a low voice, she said to Qin Feng, "Is this really okay? Even though it attracted the attention of the media journalists on the second floor, everyone knows they are Heavenly King Liu's fans. They'll think the praise is due to Heavenly King Liu's recommendation."

"And such a method... It's really a bit shameful; it doesn't match the style of a major corporation."

"..."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, just keep watching. The person we are waiting for will arrive soon."

He looked up at Xie Xiangjin and others by the second-floor railing, who were "watching the joke," and "cordially" gestured a greeting to them.

"Hmph! That idiot is actually proud of his method, not realizing he's already lost face big time!" Xie Xiangjin said.

At that moment,

a thirty-something-year-old woman in designer clothes appeared on stage, excited to shake hands with Heavenly King Liu before going to try the perfume.

With practiced ease, she gently shook it a couple of times, then lightly sprayed some on the back of her hand, first to experience its scent.

In no time.

A glint of joy flickered in her eyes.

Then she sprayed a few more times on her neck and body, closed her eyes, and fully immersed herself, with an utterly enchanted expression.

"It's about time, if nothing unexpected happens, she's the one."

Qin Feng spoke from the side of the exhibition stand.

"Her?" Wei Yunxiang was slightly puzzled, and said, "Is there any difference between her and the others? Others are also indulging in the perfume just like her."

"The way she dresses suggests that she's a wealthy lady, so usually, the perfumes she uses are mostly luxury brands from Europe," Qin Feng explained.

Wei Yunxiang thought for a moment upon hearing this and said: "I see, you mean to let her give our perfume recognition through comparison? However, as good as the perfume is, people would still think she speaks highly of it only because she's a fan of King Liu, so that wouldn't really make a difference."

"No, it's not something to say to others," Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Oh? Then who is it for?" Wei Yunxiang asked, puzzled.

Qin Feng meanwhile lifted his head and turned with a smile to look towards Xie Xiangjin and Professor Esmond standing beside him.

At that moment, on the stand.

Zheng Weiwei, as before, asked the lady, "Excuse me, how do you find our newly released perfume?"

"Wonderful, it's truly amazing!" The woman opened her eyes happily and said, "I've used world-class perfumes like 'Chanel,' 'Lunasi,' and 'Mizhuorola' before, each costing at least thirty thousand yuan, but none are as good as this one! This is really the best perfume I have ever used!"

"Really? Thank you very much for your support."

Zheng Weiwei said with a smile.

At a corner of the stand, Qin Feng curled up his lips with a triumphant smile, and said to Wei Yunxiang, who was still worried: "I'll count to three, and the situation will begin to turn around."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"..."

But unexpectedly.

He had not even said "one" when suddenly, from the second-floor railing, Professor Esmond shouted angrily, "Shut your mouth!!!"

His voice was very loud.

And because it was mixed with the accent of Westerners in Chinese,

the hall immediately quieted down, and almost everyone looked up at him.

Including the media journalists.

Some clever journalists, seeing his furious demeanor, immediately realized something was amiss and quickly aimed their cameras at him.

"Shut your mouth! You ugly woman!" Professor Esmond called out red-faced with rage, "You're such a hypocrite! You all are too hypocritical! It's revolting! How dare you claim that bottle of lousy perfume is better than 'Chanel,' 'Lunasi,' and 'Mizhuorola'? Just because it's endorsed by your star? It's utterly despicable, disgusting!"

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar from the audience!

The media journalists were also stunned, one after another pointing their cameras at him.

Xie Xiangjin smiled triumphantly on the side, whispering to Jin Nana: "With over a hundred media outlets present, a news story will soon emerge: 'Fengyun Group's perfume scandal, insulting the kings of world-class perfume.' We'll just need to work this a little, and it'll turn into an international war of words. By then, Fengyun Group will become 'Huaxia's cancer,' a disgrace to our countrymen, and they will be cursed by the whole nation, hehehe..."

"Yeah! Even Heavenly King Liu will be smeared."

Jin Nana said with a smirk at the corner of her mouth.

At this moment.

The woman blinked in bewilderment, apparently not an easy target, and said to Esmond: "I don't know what you're talking about, but this is indeed the best perfume I have ever used."

"Nonsense!!"

Professor Esmond said, "I don't think you realize who I am. 'Chanel,' 'Lunasi,' and 'Mizhuorola' were all developed by my team! Yes, I am Esmond!"
