Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

"How could you know?"

Xu Xinran asked in astonishment, knowing that Annick Goutal's perfumes were very niche. Not to mention men, even among women, few knew of this brand.

She had stumbled across this perfume herself and had fallen in love with its fresh scent after just one whiff.

But how did he know? Moreover, he even knew she used the 'Après L'ondée' series, which was simply inconceivable!

"This perfume gives one the cool sensation of a spring garden after the rain, and it carries the moist fragrance of gardenia. Its inspiration comes from a garden on a clear morning following a thunderstorm."

Su Chen spoke as if he were a perfume master,

"The 'Après L'ondée' series has top notes of Sicilian lemon, citrus aroma, and perilla for an Oriental flair. The middle notes are ginger and magnolia, which balance each other perfectly, one strong, one gentle. But the most special is its base note, a blend of Indian jasmine and Indonesian yellow champaca, creating an exotic appeal that enriches the delicate scent of gardenias."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Xu Xinran was completely flabbergasted. What kind of creature was this guy?

You're a man; do you really need to understand women's perfume so thoroughly?

"How do you know all this?"

Xu Xinran asked falteringly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock!

Not to mention others, even as someone who wore this perfume, she didn't know as much about it as he did.

"By scent, one can know a woman. How can one understand women without understanding perfume?"

Su Chen smiled mischievously, and he gave Xu Xinran a flirtatious glance.

"Rogue!"

That glance was like an electric current striking Xu Xinran's body. Her heart fluttered, and her face turned red as she retorted softly.

Just then, a thin young man came walking towards them, holding a glass of red wine. As he passed by Xu Xinran, he suddenly slipped, falling towards her and tipping the wine glass in her direction.

Just as the red wine was about to spill onto Xu Xinran, a pair of large hands suddenly steadied the young man and the wine glass.

"The floor is slippery; be careful when walking," Su Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you!" The lanky youth repeatedly nodded his thanks, and then, full of apology, he said to Xu Xinran, "I'm sorry, so sorry. My apologies."

"It's all right!"

Xu Xinran gave a slight smile and waved her hand dismissively.

"I'm really very sorry!"

The lanky youth pressed his hands together in apology, the sincerity evident!

After saying this, he turned and walked out the front door. Su Chen looked back at the retreating figure of the young man, his eyes gradually narrowing.

The lanky youth took out his phone as soon as he stepped outside the door and immediately made a call:

"Wang Yan, I've failed."

"What? You failed? Didn't you assure me you were completely sure to succeed?"

A sharp female voice responded on the phone immediately.

"I had already succeeded, but in the end, her boyfriend ruined it."

"She brought a man with her? How do you know that's her boyfriend?"

The woman on the phone asked eagerly.

"That man was always holding her. If he's not her boyfriend, then what is he?" The lanky youth sneered.

"All right, I understand."

With that, the woman hung up the phone.

In a women's restroom at the Tianfu Hotel, a fairly attractive woman with heavy makeup stuffed her phone into her purse, her face marked with a resentful expression.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Xu Xinran, you're just lucky this time!"

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the restroom and headed towards a private room. By the time she entered the room, her complexion had returned to normal.

She scanned the room and didn't see the figure she wanted to see, so she couldn't help asking a woman beside her:

"Where's Chu Jian?"

"Oh, he's gone to settle the bill. We had agreed to split it, but he insisted on treating us. He probably didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he rushed to pay before anyone else."

"If he wants to treat, let him. After all, such a small amount of money is nothing but a drop in the bucket for President Chu."

"That's true. I heard Chu's company is about to go public, right? His fortune is probably going to multiply again."

"It's unbelievable that among all of us old classmates, we'd have such a big boss!"

Speaking of Chu Jian, the male classmates, in particular, felt a mix of admiration, envy, and resentment.

It's truly maddening to compare oneself to others!

"Wang Yan, you're just like you were in high school, coming in and asking about Chu Jian right away. You're really on his tail!"

One of the guys joked.

"Of course! If I had such a boyfriend, I would cling to him tightly!"

A girl said with a touch of resentment.

"As if you could, have you seen yourself? How can you compare with our great beauty, Wang Yan?"

Another guy chimed in with a joke.

"Shao Bo, you bastard, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

The girl he was talking about glared fiercely at him, but she wasn't really angry.

She knew that he was joking, and of course, most of the reason was to compliment Wang Yan.

"Xiao Jing, don't listen to his nonsense!" Wang Yan said gently with a smile, "He's just sour because he can't have what he wants!"

Just then, the guy previously referred to as Shao Bo suddenly said:

"I wonder if Xu Xinran will come today?"

As soon as he spoke, he quickly covered his mouth, knowing he had said something he shouldn't have.

Upon hearing the name Xu Xinran, the atmosphere in the room immediately quietened down and became a bit awkward.

Especially for Wang Yan, when she heard Xu Xinran's name, a trace of malice flashed across her eyes!

And those male classmates, their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Back in school, Xu Xinran was always recognized as the most beautiful girl, and most of the male students considered her the woman of their dreams.

Almost every one of these guys had confessed to Xu Xinran, either openly or secretly, but they were all rejected by her.

However, the most persistent pursuer was Chu Jian. To win Xu Xinran over, he resolutely gave up the sciences, which he was good at, and switched to the humanities, which he was not as strong in.

Not only that, but he also moved out of his family's villa and rented a place near Xu Xinran's home, all so he could walk home with her every day.

Because of this, his classmates gave him the nickname "Love Fool" in high school!

Despite all his efforts, he still didn't manage to win Xu Xinran's heart in the end.

Having no other choice, he turned to accept Wang Yan's affection, and for him, Wang Yan was more of a bed partner in his eyes.

After all these years, his heart still hadn't let go of that stunning figure!

Wang Yan, being very close to him, naturally understood all this too well, which is why she always considered Xu Xinran a thorn in her side!

Just then, a graceful figure appeared in the room, causing everyone to gasp at the sight.

The male classmates, in particular, were ablaze with desire, their breathing growing rapid...
