The Scandal of Perfume Plagiarism

"Little guy, are you a civet cat?"

She flipped through the catalog and found out that there were not only flowers and trees in the space but also animals that could secrete fragrances.

The civet cat was an animal that did not exist in reality. And only in such a space could it mutate and grow.

Its intrusion had also completed her new work.

Bailu's mind immediately ran wild.

In a forest on a midsummer night, filled with the vitality of the natural world, mischievous elves and flower juice were dripping from their eyes. 

Boys and girls would fall in love at first sight. They would then elope in the deep forest, and spiritual animals would watch them from the treetops.

Since then, 'Summer Night' had gone through a remake and became Bailu's official work called, 'Midsummer Night's Dream'.

As the season for Aroman to launch their new product had yet to arrive, Bailu was not in a hurry to introduce her perfume.

However, this gave some loopholes to those who harbored ill intentions.

Not long after, through time's cleansing, Bruce, who had gotten out of the affair and domestic violence scandal, and Anna, whose identity as a mistress had been forgotten, were up to no good again. Although they appeared to be estranged from each other, they were still bound together because of the company's common interest.

Kefen, which should have belonged to Bailu, had recently launched a perfume that was identical to Bailu's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' perfume.

What was most surprising was that they also used the Moon-Tip flower as an ingredient. How could Kefen have mastered the fragrance of the flower that belonged to Bailu, which was also the symbol of Aroman?

Other than her space and Jiang Shaomin's private cultivation base, even her partner, Alvis, did not have it.

The whole of Aroman was anxious about the situation. They wished that Bailu would release the perfume when it was ready so that others would not get to it first.

However, if they confirmed that Bailu's perfume was completed much earlier, it would still only be their words against Kefen. 

Nevertheless, Bailu still maintained an unexpected calmness.

She did not even have any intention of avoiding suspicion. She continued to instruct the research and development department to speed up the production of 'Midsummer Night's Dream' as if they were going to release the new product as usual.

Samantha, who had been promoted to team leader, looked at Jiang Shaomin anxiously. She was hoping that Jiang Shaomin would be able to convince Bailu. 

"Although we know that our perfume is the real product, others will know that we were released after them. They will definitely think that we are plagiarizing them openly. Let's change the ingredients or rename the perfume at the last minute, shall we?"

What she said was an emergency measure, but every bottle of perfume that came from Bailu had gone through a delicate balance and adjustment. If the ingredients were changed rashly, the overall flavor would naturally be ruined.

Jiang Shaomin would not allow such a mistake to happen to his own product. However, Bailu's soft little hand that he felt under the table made him have a thought.

There was a reason for his precious to make such a decision, and all he needed to do was to place the bet and trust her.

Even if he lost, wouldn't he be able to shoulder the responsibility for her?

The corner of Jiang Shaomin's mouth curled into a lazy smile. He then said softly, "Listen to her."

As expected by Samantha, the day that Aroman's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' was released, it was branded as plagiarism.

Anna, on behalf of Kefen, declared indignantly that 'Midsummer Night's Dream' was her own work, and that it had been released before Aroman so it was definitely authentic.

The troll army that she had bought also used timing as evidence. It attracted the attention of countless netizens. They had joined Anna's campaign to stop plagiarism, demanding that Aroman fire Bailu. Otherwise, they would boycott Aroman's product. 

In order to increase the impact of the incident, many perfumers in the industry came out one after another to speak for Anna. It was as if Bailu had been completely abandoned by the industry.

In fact, not many people had actually used the two perfumes, but they all joined in the carnival of public opinion.

A few people expressed their views objectively. They believed that Aroman's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' was the real product because of its consistency and good quality.

However, as it was not as entertaining, it drowned in ridicule.
