Ye Shaohua glanced at him expressionlessly and did not answer.

It was at this moment that a voice suddenly came from behind, "I knew you would come here today. What are you doing hanging around the Perfume School every day? What’s so interesting about it?"

The speaker was an elderly man with spectacles and somewhat graying hair, who looked at Ye Shaohua somewhat huffily.

"Professor Jian," Ye Shaohua smiled a bit upon seeing the old man, her gaze filled with respect, "I’m just quite curious about this industry."

"What’s there to be curious about? In the time you spend here, you might as well visit the laboratory more often. I’ll talk to Old Li about it tomorrow," grumbled Professor Jian Wenbo, "It’s really not decent of him. It’s one thing for you to attend classes in the Fragrance Department every day, but he doesn’t even wish to visit the lab occasionally."

"There’s nothing new in the Mathematics Department right now, and before I came back, I went to solve some problems for my senior brothers and sisters. They probably haven’t had the chance to tell you."

Hearing Ye Shaohua’s words, Jian Wenbo gave her an extra glance, "Then you’ll pursue my PhD later on."

"Of course." Ye Shaohua guessed that she had almost learned enough from the Fragrance Department, and the rest was just research, which she could do on her own without wasting time.

She was certain she could take on the few cases promised to Jian Wenbo. Carving out time to read a thesis by a seasoned professor like him would be immensely beneficial.

Getting the answer he desired, Professor Jian Wenbo’s expression finally brightened.

It was then that he seemed to notice the man in black for the first time, "Shaohua, who is this person?"

"He’s probably looking for me," Ye Shaohua said with a faint smile, "Don’t worry, Professor Jian, you go back to the laboratory first. I can handle it."

Professor Jian Wenbo did not look kindly upon the gaze that the man in black, similar to a bodyguard, gave Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua was the most talented individual he had seen in many years. Flower Country had always surpassed the foreigners in mathematical calculations but began to lag in the modern era. Having finally found such a talent, Jian Wenbo and some people from the National Institute were naturally extremely protective of Ye Shaohua.

The national upper echelons had even sent people to negotiate with Dean Li of the Fragrance Department, asking him not to always drag a talent like her into learning perfume making, only to be sent packing by Dean Li.

In the end, Dean Li had to go find Professor Jian Wenbo. The two people, whose ages combined exceeded a hundred, had a heated argument over Ye Shaohua, causing a red-faced and thick-necked scene.

It was Shaohua’s senior brothers and sisters from the laboratory who came to calm them down.

In the end, neither conceded to the other.

"Fine," Professor Jian Wenbo still cast an unhappy glance at the man in black, "If there’s any issue, just let me know directly."

However, he also felt he might be of little use. Of course, he didn’t believe Ye Shaohua would have any problems since he was aware that she had Mi Jingyun behind her.

Ye Shaohua nodded.

Once Professor Jian had left, Ye Shaohua turned to the man in black and said calmly, "Let’s go."

The man in black, seeing such calmness in Ye Shaohua, felt a flicker of surprise. Considering what the seasoned professor had said just now, his attitude towards Ye Shaohua couldn’t help but become more respectful, "This way."

She didn’t even bother to ask who he was?

The man in black took another look at Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua followed behind the man in black, unruffled.

The direction he was heading was precisely towards the convention.

At this time, the Perfumers’ Convention hadn’t officially started, but there were already quite a few people present.

Lin Ying and He Lanxing were among them.

When the man in black brought Ye Shaohua in, a group of people were chatting. He informed the elder He first, who did not immediately look at Ye Shaohua.

Instead, he turned to Lin Ying with satisfaction, "You have talent; if you could become Dean Li’s disciple, you would have an easier time in the world of perfumery."

Lin Ying, dressed in designer clothes, showed a surge of joy on her face upon hearing the elder He’s words, "I will work hard."

Elder He nodded, only then turning to look at Ye Shaohua, scrutinizing her for a moment before his gaze settled on the two basic fragrance books in her hand, "Studying perfumery too? How’s it going for you?"

"So-so, just got to this part," Ye Shaohua replied nonchalantly, holding up the books in her hand, her tone completely laid back.

Seeing her like this, elder He’s expression flickered with disappointment.

In fact, he still harbored a slight hope of Ye Shaohua returning.

He always felt that what He’s father and mother did was too much.

After all, Ye Shaohua was part of the He family.

But now, seeing Ye Shaohua’s state, elder He understood why He’s mother had chosen not to allow Ye Shaohua to return.

In any case, upon seeing Ye Shaohua, two words crossed elder He’s mind — disappointment.

Back in the day, the He family had almost surpassed some old practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the field of perfumery. But as time passed, the family declined, many ancient prescriptions were lost, and there were fewer and fewer talented descendants, leading to a gradual decrease in the He family’s prestige.

While they were still Imperial City’s number one wealthy family, that was all they were — a "wealthy family" — far from the times when a single foot stomp in Imperial City would silence anyone.

He Lanxing did have some potential, yet she was unable to create new and innovative fragrance formulas, but even so, her talent was rare.

"I hope you don’t harbor resentment towards your parents," elder He tried to conceal the disappointment in his eyes, "They did what they did for the good of the He family, and I hope you understand."

With that, elder He looked toward someone next to him.

That person immediately handed over a check.

It was the same gesture as what He’s mother had previously done.

Ye Shaohua stared at the check for a moment before stepping back, "No need, the He family doesn’t owe me anything, and I don’t wish to return to the He family. If my parents chose to give up on me from the start, then I have no intention of going back."

After speaking, Ye Shaohua looked at elder He faintly, "You’re busy."

She turned and walked away in a different direction.

Elder He was startled by the hostility that spilled from Ye Shaohua’s eyes just now.

"Elder?" The person next to him whispered to elder He, bringing him back to his senses.

A moment ago... was it an illusion?

Elder He seemed somewhat puzzled, given that Ye Shaohua was said to have grown up in the mountains with only a second-hand mobile phone in her hand. How could someone who grew up in the mountains have such an aura?
