The Second Wife of a Rich Old Man 52
When it was time for the competition to start, the contestants went to prepare. Meng Yang and Luo Xiu left the hotel. He didn't stay in the hotel room to watch the live broadcast, because he was still a little conflicted about this kind of outdoor survival competition.
Meng Yang and Luo Xiu didn't go back to the manor, because Luo Xiu had something to deal with in the company, so they stayed in a villa in the city.
Meng Yang went to bed a little late last night, so he got up a little late. He walked to the living room and saw Luo Xiu sitting on the sofa as if he was thinking about something. He walked over, sat down, and leaned on him.
Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang and kissed him.
Meng Yang took a sip of the warm water the helper gave him, then looked at Luo Xiu and asked, "Did she come to meet you with Cheng Fangfei just now?"
"She left for a while." Luo Xiu looked at Meng Yang and said, "Did you see her?"
"I just got up. How could I see her?" Meng Yang said and pointed at his nose.
Luo Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Who's the other woman?" Meng Yang asked.
"My mother." Luo Xiu said.
"She's also in this country?" Meng Yang said in surprise.
"Her lover's condition is getting better, so she brought him here for a vacation." Luo Xiu looked at Meng Yang and said, "She'll come back soon, and you'll definitely meet her then. She's very mean and difficult to get along with, so you have to be mentally prepared. Don't be affected by anything she says."
"Then what should I do?" Meng Yang asked.
"Just ignore her. No matter what she says or does, just ignore her. Leave the rest to me. I won't let her disturb our lives for too long."
"Since you've already said that, it seems like the meeting between the two of you must have been very unpleasant. When she returns home, there will inevitably be a storm." Meng Yang sighed and said, "But no matter what, she is still your mother."
"Mother." Luo Xiu smiled sarcastically and said, "I have tolerated her all these years, but I don't want you to tolerate her with me. You don't owe her anything. You don't have to tolerate her just because you married me. If necessary, I will announce in advance that Luo Sheng is not my son. Even if I have to sever my relationship with her, I will never let her hurt you. "
"I believe you." Meng Yang held his hand and said. He knew that Luo Xiu would definitely protect him, and he would also become Luo Xiu's inner pillar, supporting him and warming him.
The three-day competition was in progress. Meng Yang did not watch the live broadcast. He just asked his assistant to tell him about the competition.
Three days later, the competition ended. As expected, Sersy won first place. Although he didn't perform as well as some of the others in the process of collecting the ingredients, no one was better than him in terms of his talent in perfuming. He used fewer ingredients than the others to create a better perfume.
As for Yu Junchen, Wu Feng, and the others, they did not let down their month-long training in the mountains. They performed very well in the process of collecting raw materials, but in the end, they still did not make it into the top ten in the perfume evaluation and voting.
Meng Yang went to the banquet after the competition. After congratulating Cercy, he went to chat with Wu Feng and the others.
"I heard that you guys performed very well in the process of collecting the raw materials this time. There's already news in the country praising your performance. The hardship in the mountains can be considered to have paid off," said Meng Yang.
"But in the end, you still did not make it into the top ten." Wu Feng said, "If you had participated in the competition, you would have definitely made it into the top three. No matter how good our performance in the process of collecting materials was, in the end, we still could not beat them."
Meng Yang subconsciously put his hand on his belly. He just smiled and did not say anything. Even if he wanted to participate, he could not. Moreover, he did not want to participate in such a competition at all.
Yu Junchen stood aside and listened to their conversation. He happened to see Meng Yang's movement. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately became ugly. This was because he knew why Meng Yang did not participate in the competition this time, and what his movement meant.
Meng Yang also noticed Yu Junchen's eyes and expression. The two of them looked at each other for a while. Meng Yang's eyes were full of fearless toughness. It was not until Yu Junchen inexplicably looked away that the two of them stopped looking at each other.
"Now that I think about it, this competition is really neither fish nor fowl." Wu Feng did not notice the confrontation between Meng Yang and Yu Junchen's eyes. He continued to say, "Are we competing in the ability to survive in the wild and collect materials, or are we competing in the talent of perfuming? If we are competing in the former, why did the scoring and voting method not change? If we are competing in the latter, then what is the meaning of what we have done for the past three days and two nights? "
"At least this competition has received unprecedented popularity and attention. It also got the effect that the organizers wanted. It is a good way." Qin Hong said.
"Anyway, I will not participate in the next competition no matter what. Whoever wants to participate can participate." Wu Feng curled his lips and said, "Why should I work so hard only to let them get the effect that they want?"
The competition was over, and Wu Feng and the others were about to return to China. Meng Yang did not return with them because he had to participate in a very important spice auction. Participating in this auction could be said to be one of the main purposes of his trip to this country.
The spice auctions in western countries were based on the price of the highest bid. There was no guessing auction like in China's spice market. Therefore, Meng Yang was mentally prepared to spend a lot of money to get these two spices.
Meng Yang was a little nervous. Luo Xiu held his hand and comforted him, "Don't be nervous. Since you want it, we will definitely be able to get it. At worst, we will just have to spend a little more money."
"I have looked up a lot of information. For the time being, I can't find a better substitute for these two spices. I have to buy it and bring it back. Only then can the situation in Sudi improve." Meng Yang held his hand and said, "If we can also have a guessing auction here, I won't feel nervous."
The auction began. Today, there were a total of ten rare spices to be auctioned. Those who came to participate in the auction were either rich or famous perfumers. They were constantly discussing with the people around them while raising their cards to bid.
