How embarrassing!
What on earth had he been talking about?
He was simply showing off his limited knowledge.
His handsome face flushed with a mix of pain and embarrassment.
Rubbing his hands, he said awkwardly, "Well... Sylvia, I didn't know you were an expert in perfumes. This morning was my..."
"It's okay," Sylvia interrupted with a smile. "Uncle, after all, I never mentioned that I could make perfumes before, so it's normal for you to misunderstand."
"Mr. R has now signed with our company, so we are saved!" Joel Hipps had already devised a comprehensive marketing plan, including how to mass-produce the "Rebirth" perfume.
He had thought of almost everything.
He was eager to get started immediately.
That afternoon, Hipps Group released new promotional materials for their perfume, along with the latest news.
#Hipps Group Signs Perfume Expert Mr. R#
#Mr. R Launches New Product "Rebirth"#
#Rebirth Follows the Legacy#
Netizens were instantly abuzz.
"Oh my god, 'Rebirth' is my all-time favorite perfume; I can't live without it. It's a pity Mr. R hasn't released anything new since 'Rebirth,' and now there's going to be a new product?"
"Why collaborate with a company like Hipps Group? Why not go for an international brand?"
"Is Mr. R crazy? Hipps Group's reputation couldn't be worse."
"But... given Mr. R's expertise in perfumery, I still want to buy 'Rebirth.' 'Rebirth' was great; 'Rebirth' will surely be even better."
"Yes, yes, a must-buy!"
"'Rebirth' is a must-buy; 'Rebirth' even more so!"
The buzz was overwhelming!
It was simply explosive.
Hipps Group's PR and marketing departments immediately began various promotional and marketing strategies.
They not only placed pre-sale links on major e-commerce platforms but also offered many perfume samples.
The most enticing part was Mr. R's autograph!
After all, Mr. R had many die-hard perfume fans.
Unfortunately, Mr. R hadn't released any new products for years. Now that a new product was finally coming out, the enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.
Many rival companies were envious and resentful.
Thus, the recent unfortunate incident involving Maritza Perfume was once again dug up, criticized, and ridiculed.
"Have you forgotten about Hipps Group's perfume scandal?"
"This time they might mess up again; are you still willing to buy?"
"I'm not risking it."
"I'm scared; I don't want bad luck."
For a while, supporters and detractors were evenly matched, fiercely arguing with each other.
Despite this, the pre-sale link for the perfume remained highly popular.
Joel Hipps was all smiles every day. "Miss Andrews is truly our family's lucky star! By seniority, should she call me uncle? Am I actually Mr. R's uncle? No one would believe it if I told them."
Wayne was even happier than him. "Then I'm her cousin? Haha, Dad, I need to give my cousin a gift. I also want to humbly learn how to make perfumes from her."
"Yes, yes, you must give her a grand gift," Joel Hipps agreed. "Go handle it right away."
Wayne nodded and left.
He went straight to the mall, thinking that girls usually like high-end jewelry and accessories, so he picked out an expensive set of jewelry.
He hurried home and went directly to the main house to find Sylvia.
Sylvia was in the kitchen with Old Mrs. Hipps making dumplings.
She had personally prepared the filling and rolled the dumpling skins, which made Old Mrs. Hipps extremely happy.
"I never thought I'd live to eat dumplings made by my granddaughter."
"If you like them, I'll cook for you every day," Sylvia said, smiling at Old Mrs. Hipps's delighted expression.
Her rosy lips blossomed like tender petals, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of joy.
Old Mrs. Hipps was even happier when she heard this. Looking at the neatly arranged plates of dumplings, her mood couldn't have been better.
"Alright, alright, I'll rely on you from now on."
As the grandmother and granddaughter chatted, Wayne arrived.
"Miss Andrews! The housekeeper, is Miss Andrews here?"
The housekeeper was surprised to see Wayne with an exquisite gift bag in hand but still led him to the kitchen.
"Madam, Young Master Wayne is here to see Miss Andrews."
Sylvia's hands were covered in flour. When she looked up and saw Wayne, who looked quite proper-though not as handsome as Clare-she asked, "What's up? Is there something you need?"
Hadn't they already signed the contract at the company?
She wondered inwardly.
Wayne was momentarily stunned to see Sylvia making dumplings so down-to-earth, with dumplings shaped like diamonds. Were all perfume masters this approachable?
