“Really?” Mike raised an eyebrow and did not make any further comment.
“As you know, the slightest difference in the ingredients used in perfumery can make a huge difference. Seraphina did something to the formula, and she even had her assistant change the formula secretly. I’m not feeling well lately, so I didn’t realize what they were doing. Mr. Larson, we really need your help, Vivian continued in a quivering voice as if she was about to cry.
O
Vivian looked so innocent and pitiable.
Mike gazed at Vivian’s face and tapped his finger on the table lightly. Vivian could not see through Mike’s thoughts.
Julian came back to his senses and hurriedly said, “Yes! Mr. Larson, Vivi has been working so hard lately that she is sick, and Seraphina is taking advantage of this to do her evil deeds. The factory has had a lot of orders lately. If we can’t deliver because of this, our company is in jeopardy!”
Finally, Mike wiped his mouth and said, “Okay. Let’s go to the lab and take a look!”
His reply made Julian and Vivian secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Mike’s attitude had softened, Julian and Vivian believed that he would probably help them.
As soon as possible, Julian got up to pay the bill and drove straight to the lab.
These days, the staff spent almost all their time in the lab. Actually, they were capable, but it was really difficult to differentiate the nuances of the ingredients and make the same perfume.
A layman might not care or could not distinguish the nuances of perfume flavor, but those who used perfume regularly or perfume lovers were keen and sensitive to the flavor.
Julian didn’t want to ruin the reputation of the perfume brand.
Prosperian Company wasn’t steady enough to take such a hit.
Julian, Vivian, and Mike went into each lab to check but as expected, no one made any
progress.
When they entered the next lab, there was no one in the room.
“Where is Emily?” Vivian pointed to the laboratory and asked angrily.

“Emily… She said she was too tired, so she went home to have a rest,” another employee replied cautiously.
“What? Everyone’s working hard to save the company, but she went home to rest? Does that make sense?” Vivian raged.
Julian said calmly, “Calm down. If she is so irresponsible, we can just fire her. It’s a minor issue, so we can discuss it later!”
After saying that, Julian turned to look at the person beside him and said with a smile, “Mr. Larson, in that case, how about just using this lab?*
Mike didn’t answer and went straight in.
“Where are the essential oils?” Mike looked around and asked.
Julian hurriedly waved to his assistant and called out, “Hurry up! Essential oil!”
Soon, his assistant brought it over and sent it directly to Mike.
Mike asked again, “And the formula?”
Someone immediately handed the formula to Mike as well as the finished perfume and some other finished products that had been produced earlier.
Expressionless, Mike leaned forward to sniff the essential oils, frowned, and checked. the formula. Then, he chuckled, “A little trick!”
Mike’s voice was not loud, but Julian heard it anyway. He exclaimed, “Mr. Larson, did you figure out how to adjust the formula?”
“Adjust? No, this formula needs no adjustment. After all… It’s not this formula,” Mike snorted, waved his hand, and threw the paper with the formula on it to the ground.
“It’s not this formula?” Julian called out.
Julian and everyone present were shocked.
“No way! We have tried it many ti
and the smell is very similar with only slight differences. If it wasn’t for this formula, how could they smell so similar?” someone questioned.
Even though Mike was brought in by Mr. Brown, the others in the room didn’t know Mike, so they weren’t convinced by Mike’s words.
Mike smiled contemptuously, “I’m right whether you believe it or not!”
Apparently, Mike didn’t bother to explain. He was so confident and arrogant.

Someone snapped, “Mr. Brown, that’s impossible! We’ve tried so many times. While we haven’t solved it yet, we’re certain that only one ingredient in the formula was changed. We’ll find out the result just by making a few more attempts.”
Julian was also confused.
He wondered if Mike was wrong.
“So it took you guys this long to come up with such a shi tty result? That’s ridiculous. Losers are losers. The fact won’t change no matter how many times you guys try,” Mike sneered pompously.
Mike’s words annoyed all the staff. They glared at him angrily and shouted, “What did you say?”
Julian stopped them and said in a comforting voice, “Hey… Calm down, guys. The point now is to find out what the problem is. I don’t care if the person is Mr. Larson or one of you as long as he or she can make the same essential oil. And I promise you that this person will be generously rewarded!”
Julian said this to appease the staff and to imply to Mike that he would have to solve the problem before being rewarded accordingly.
One of the staff said, “Mr. Brown, we’ve made a few finished products that are pretty close to the original one. We just more time…
need a littl
Before he could finish his words, Mike handed over a piece of paper while they were talking and said expressionlessly, “Follow this new formula for the perfume.”
Julian took it over in disbelief.
The other staff beside him also looked over curiously to see what was written on the slip
of paper.
However, when Julian tried to read it, he was stunned. He asked hesitantly, “Uh… This is
written in?”
Putting down the pen, Mike clapped his hands and said nonchalantly, “Edoeldian. I’m not used to your language and I don’t know how to write in it. You can find a translator to translate what I wrote. That’s it.”
After saying that, Mike walked to Julian, stood still, and asked impatiently, “Can we go back to the hotel? I’m tired.”
“Yes, of course. But…” stammered Julian, who pinched the piece of paper carefully with. a puzzled look on his face. He had some knowledge of Edoeldian, but he didn’t know if this formula would work.
Chaquer St
After all, the lab staff had worked on this for a long time. Conversely, Mike snapped that this formula was the right one without trying.
But anyway, Julian wouldn’t be so stu pid as to question the man he brought along in front of so many of his employees. He folded up the formula, put it in his pocket, and said in a serious voice, “Well, since Mr. Larson says it works, it will. You’ve all worked hard these past few days. Go home and have a good rest. Also, get me a professional Edoeldian translator as soon as possible!”
