His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 366

"Thank you," Lily replied politely.

"However, I have some reservations about your remarks just now." Changing the topic, he continued, "When you said that the brand doesn't affect you, do you really think so, or do you just say that rhetorically because you can't tell the difference?"

Without waiting for her answer, he added, "Of course, in any case, your answer sheet is indeed more accurate than the rest. You are still number one regardless, that's for sure."

This was why he held her back, as he did not want to ask this aloud.

"To be honest, we're both on the same boat. I don't quite agree with the question you asked. In fact, the question itself is a paradox," Lily wasn't offended as she calmly explained her side.

"Oh?" On the other hand, Wesley seemed a little insulted as he raised his eyebrow.

Obviously, he did not take her words seriously, thinking it was just a cover-up for her mistake. As a matter of fact, Wesley was unhappy with the results of this competition. He had initially planned to select one of his disciples as the winner, but they did not perform as well as he thought they would.

Although Lily had won first place, his prejudice was so strong that he didn't think that she was capable of achieving anything in this industry.

"Was the reason behind your question to get us to focus on the product itself, regardless of the brand or any other external factors?" she questioned.

Upon hearing that question, Wesley paused for a moment before he nodded slightly. He couldn't deny that this was exactly his thought process at that time.

A perfumer should pay more attention to the value of the perfume itself. People focused on brand names more often than not. Once a scent is labeled with a renowned brand, it would blow up and be sold at extremely high prices. On the other hand, newcomers would find it hard to break through this scene.

Wesley felt that this mindset should be changed and that brands should not easily sway people.

"Yet, you deliberately labeled the bottle with your name while instructing us to ignore who the perfumer was. I guess it's safe to say that you're placing too much importance on the influence of the brand's reputation on the product. You're trying to use your name to distract us while telling us not to be blinded by brands. Isn't that very contradictory in itself?" Lily asked.

To her surprise, Wesley shook his head. "You wouldn't have noticed this if you only focused on fragrance. You managed to do that, didn't you?" Although he was reluctant to admit this, it was true.

Lily laughed and said, "That's not the case. I'm just saying that whoever the perfumer is shouldn't influence the perfume itself, but that doesn't mean that I won't think about who created the perfume. The product and the creator are inseparable. Being perfumers, although we create all sorts of fragrances, each with a uniqueness of its own, the personal touch of the perfumers is what gives the scent its name."

Initially, Wesley disapproved of what she said and wanted to object. Later, as he listened, he slowly began to straighten up, nodding slightly as she continued. His perspective of her began to change.

Looking at Lily with great interest, he said, "It seems like you're pretty eloquent. Can you guess who this perfume belongs to?"
