Chapter 121 She Did Have A Powerful Backer
"Cheers!"
The atmosphere in the small private room was quite lively, and even though there were only Cathy, Evelyn, and Laura, they were very happy.
"I didn't expect you to succeed so quickly. It really surprised me!"
Cathy saw the samples early today. Yesterday, Evelyn and Laura deliberately left some for Cathy to try. The taste really brought joy to people!
"Cathy, it was almost successful a few days ago," Laura said while eating, "It's just a piece of cake for Evelyn. At Evelyn's fastest, she could release a new product in less than a month."
"Really? That's impressive! Evelyn must have released a lot this year!"
Cathy was excited just hearing about this production volume, and after experiencing it, she was absolutely confident in the quality of her products.
"Well, without inspiration and good ideas, it's possible that I won't be able to release one for two or three months. I hope that at that time, you won't fire me!" Evelyn turned her head towards Cathy, jesting half in earnest.
Cathy erupted into laughter. "Even if I want to dismiss you, I didn't have the authority to do so! Thinking back to when you first arrived..."
Pausing briefly, Cathy seemed to have found a target for her critique. She turned to Laura and remarked, "You weren't here at the time, so you wouldn't know. I was extremely reluctant to work alongside Evelyn. I couldn't even dismiss Evelyn despite almost coming to odds with Nasir. I suspected back then that there were influential figures backing Evelyn!"
Slapping the table, making a loud sound, Cathy said with great momentum.
Evelyn fell silent.
Laura, who was being confided in, deliberately glanced at Evelyn. Laura thought,'Indeed, she had a powerful backer. Moreover, that individual wields significant influence!'
"Who are the powerful people behind Evelyn?" Laura asked curiously with a smirk.
Cathy glanced back at Evelyn and pursed her lips. "Later, I found out that Evelyn wasn't helped by powerful people! I couldn't get rid of Evelyn; I had no choice but to give her challenges. I told her if she couldn't pass, even if God protected her, she have to resign! But it turned out that Evelyn..."
"From that moment on, I knew that Evelyn wasn't helped by powerful people. Evelyn, indeed, is very capable! With such great talent and outstanding abilities, I'm not afraid of you resigning. To be honest, I think it won't be long before you become a legend in this industry!"
This praise was quite high. Evelyn smiled and said, "You're exaggerating!"
"I'm serious! But let's make it clear: even when you have your cake, you must help me, help Neogenito Fragrances, and not forget about us!" Cathy said as she drank, unknowingly drinking quite a bit, making her speech a bit unclear.
"Cathy, you're drunk!" Laura said, supporting Cathy.
"Drunk? Don't you know I can't get drunk no matter how much I drink? With my capacity for alcohol, I have never been drunk before! When I go out to negotiate projects, I always..."
She didn't finish her sentence. Feeling nauseous, she covered her mouth and stopped.
"Cathy, are you okay? Should we go home?" Seeing Cathy like this, Laura said with concern.
"Go home? It's too early to go home! It's rare to have time to come out and chat! It's rare for me to be with you..." She patted Evelyn's hand directly, then thought for a moment, turned and patted Laura, holding Evelyn and Laura's hands, saying, "I'm very happy to be with you."
"People in the company are afraid of me. They all think I'm a demon, giving them pressure every day, making things difficult for them. It's not that I'm making things difficult for them; it's that this industry is so cruel, the competition is so fierce, and if you don't work hard to improve, you'll be eliminated!"
Cathy seemed to have a lot on her mind; she had been holding it in for a long time and finally found a place to vent.
"To be honest, I can handle it when we do projects. In spite of the high level of stress, we can fight for clients and negotiate contracts, but for perfumers, really..."
Shaking her head, Cathy said, "Not only within Neogenito Fragrances and Lindwood City, but even on a national scale, identifying exceptional perfumers proves to be a challenging endeavor, let alone those who have garnered international renown in the art of fragrance composition. Our company has never lacked perfumers, but we have always lacked good perfumers! Evelyn, when I see you, I see hope!"
Raising her hand, she patted Evelyn's shoulder with some force, making Evelyn's shoulder sink.
"In this year's annual perfume competition, I am poised to claim the top spot." Upon hearing Cathy's venting, Evelyn fell silent for a moment before speaking.
This words from Evelyn seemed to wake Cathy up from her alcohol-induced haze suddenly. She widened her eyes and looked at Evelyn. Laura was also surprised as she looked at Evelyn.
Laura thought, 'Having been by Evelyn's side for numerous years, although Evelyn had been working hard continuously and producing one popular perfume after another, she had never spoken with such confidence before.'
This kind of assured tone made it seem as if the championship already belonged to Evelyn.
"Evelyn, actually..." Cathy straightened up and took a deep breath. Being in the top three is already very good."
The top spot!
Although the elite in the field of perfumers was few, it was also because the entry barrier was high; not everyone could do it, but those who exceled in this industry were basicallytalent and capable.
Although Cathy had praised Evelyn a lot just now and indeed believed in Evelyn's abilities, the country was so big that it was unknown if there was a second Evelyn or if there were other people with strong abilities.
Of course, there were also some senior predecessors with experience. Who would win this championship remainedunknown.
Cathy was afraid her words had put too much pressure on Evelyn and said, "Actually, it's not necessary to win the championship. Neogenito Fragrances is still relatively new in the perfume industry. If you can..."
"I will. Trust me!" Holding Cathy's hand, Evelyn stood up. "I'm going to the restroom."
Watching Evelyn leave, Cathy was dumbfounded.
Laura was also stunned, lost in thought.
Laura and Cathy looked at each other. Cathy pointed at the door, "Is Evelyn always this confident?”
Originally, Cathy wanted to ask if she was always this arrogant. But when the words reached her lips, she felt they were inappropriate as if it were a derogatory term, so she changed her wording.
Laura kept shaking her head. “No, never!”
Not to mention speak in such confident tone, Evelyn didn't seem to care much whether she would compete, whether she would win a prize, or whether the perfume had been put into production.
In Evelyn's words: Liam would handle these things. Liam would know how to operate.
In fact, Evelyn also revealed that she was afraid of problems with the newly formulated perfume. Even though she had tested it many times, she still wasn't very confident. Laura probably understood that it was the failure of the previous competition and the ridicule from the internet that had left Evelyn with a psychological shadow.
Unexpectedly, upon parting ways with Liam, Evelyn seemed to undergo a profound transformation!
