Chapter 906: Pretended to be Professional and Really Was
“Victoria especially likes the Byredo brand. Sister Bei said that you can have no wallet in your bag, but you can’t not have Byredo.” Little Yiren saw Zheng Ren’s blank face and started to introduce him. “I like Byredo mainly because it’s a perfume brand. There are many fragrances to choose from, and the hand cream is tube-shaped, not canned.”
“Canned?” Zheng Ren seemed to be listening to a heavenly book, but out of respect, Zheng Ren pretended to be humble and eager to learn. These two words were the same, and Zheng Ren could not tell them apart.
“It will always be dug under the fingernails, including Shiseido’s urea hand cream, so I still like tube-shaped, where it will be squeezed out.” Little Yiren smiled and said, “Byredo’s hand cream and perfume are also divided into front, middle, and back. Whether it’s a strong floral fragrance or a neutral wood fragrance, it has all the fragrances you can think of.”
Was perfume divided into front, middle, and back tones? Zheng Ren did not understand what this meant at all.
It was so complicated that Zheng Ren felt that the whole world was starting to become hostile.
Zheng Ren was dumbfounded, and his brain immediately went blank.
“Byredo’s hand cream has a certain thickness, and the smell lasts for a long time. I’ve tried it, and after three surgeries, I can still smell a faint fragrance.” Little Yiren was so happy that she was like a little bird. “Zheng Ren, I think you should use it too. You’re the best surgeon in the world. You have to protect your hands well.”
“Um...”
“The advantage of Byredo’s fragrant hand cream is that it can temporarily replace perfume. I think it’s more suitable for you.”
“Um...”
“Actually, a German brand with chamomile is also quite suitable for you.” Little Yiren continued to talk about things that Zheng Ren did not understand.
Zheng Ren, who had quite a high IQ, was completely an idiot when it came to such things.
When he arrived at the shopping mall, the temperature was slightly lower than the operating theater. Zheng Ren felt a little cold. When he saw the stream of people in twos and threes, he had already begun to feel that his vestibular nerve was experiencing abnormal bioelectrical stimulation, which immediately caused dizziness, headache, nausea, and non-vomiting symptoms.
This was also why Zheng Ren would definitely refuse to come with here if it were with someone else. Shopping? Even if he paid by the hour, he would not even think about it.
Following behind Little Yiren, Zheng Ren looked at Little Yiren’s figure. The poem in ‘Ode to the Goddess of Luo’ appeared in his mind like a light cloud that covered the moon, and the poem that was like the return of the flowing wind and snow, which could not be erased.
This poem seemed to be tailor-made for Little Yiren.
‘It’s really beautiful,’ Zheng Ren thought to himself. It seemed that shopping was not that boring. As long as he looked at Little Yiren, he could live his life like this. It was not a waste of time.
Because there was plenty of time, Little Yiren was not in a hurry. She strolled leisurely at the cosmetics counter, occasionally looking at the manager of a brand that Zheng Ren could not name, and talking about new products.
If it was in the past, Zheng Ren would definitely think that this was a waste of time and life. But as long as Little Yiren liked it, everything was good.
“In the past, the cosmetics counter would send it directly to my home for trial use.” As she walked, Little Yiren chatted with Zheng Ren. “But when I grew up, I found shopping very fun. I no longer let the brands deliver goods. Instead, I came to take a look.”
Xie Yiren was as happy as a butterfly, flying around.
Zheng Ren’s brain was already exhausted. His IQ was only a fraction of what it was.
He did not even need to go shopping. Did the branded stores just send things to his home? The world of the rich was really confusing.
As they walked, they came to a brand store that Zheng Ren did not know the name of. Xie Yiren held Zheng Ren’s hand and walked in. She casually picked up a bottle of facial cleanser and looked at it.
“This is our new facial cleanser. It has a purely natural, uses green ingredients and doesn’t contain any additives,” the brand manager enthusiastically introduced it to Little Yiren. His voice was not loud, but it was full of enchantment.
It was unknown when the words ‘purely natural, green, and non-polluting’ had become a label for the public’s eyes.
“Zheng Ren, what do you think of this? Do you want to try it?” Xie Yiren did not answer the sales manager but turned to ask Zheng Ren.
If he used facial cleanser, would he become an exquisite gigolo like Su Yun? Zheng Ren had some doubts and some resistance.
“That’s impossible,” Zheng Ren blurted out because of his resistance.
“Huh?” Little Yiren was stunned. “What’s impossible?”
The salesperson and sales manager were also stunned. They looked at Zheng Ren.
“Purely natural, green, and without additives; it’s impossible,” Zheng Ren immediately recalled. He knew that there was a problem with the order in which he spoke, so he hurriedly explained.
He did not dare to talk to Little Yiren like that.
“Sir, our products are really pure natural ingredients. High-tech extraction of plant essence can...”
She babbled on and on, but Zheng Ren only smiled and did not interrupt.
It was not easy to do anything. The sales manager in the mall was very skilled, like an expert in botany, constantly instilling knowledge of the existence a rare plant essence into Zheng Ren. The extraction process was very difficult. At this price, it was already a huge loss.
This was a small brand. Zheng Ren could already tell the difference between a big brand and a small brand’s shop assistant and manager.
‘It was a talent,’ Zheng Ren thought. Perhaps if it was someone else, he would probably believe it after saying so many professional words.
Unfortunately, she met him.
The sales manager talked for two minutes before he stopped with a smile. She held the bottle of face washing cream in her hand and showed it to Zheng Ren. There were many small words written on it, and they were all the names of various semi-professional plant essences.
“I’ve done experiments. If these things don’t contain preservatives, they will rot within 72 hours. of leaving the factory...” As she said that, Zheng Ren took the bottle and looked at the production date. “It’s been three and a half months, and there are only natural ingredients. When you open it, it will smell rotten, full of bacteria and decay.”
“...”
These words were a little embarrassing. However, Zheng Ren’s performance was calm. He exuded the scholarly aura of a university professor. The sales manager was slightly stunned.
She was angry, but she did not dare to confront Zheng Ren.
However, she must have encountered such doubts before. She smiled and took the bottle, pointing at the name of an activator enzyme and said, “Sir, it’s not a preservative or industrial additive. It’s REVOMED coenzyme Q. Under the effect, the plant essence will not rot and spoil. It also maintains the most basic activity.”
“This enzyme.” Zheng Ren smiled and narrowed his eyes. “Do you know how to preserve this enzyme?”
“REVOMED coenzyme Q needs to be preserved at low temperatures. Our brand is professional.” The sales manager made a gesture to invite Zheng Ren to look at the display cabinet. There was an air-conditioning device in the display cabinet to preserve at low temperature.
But this temperature...
“REVOMED coenzyme Q needs to be stored at low temperature. In fact, they lose their activity more easily than plant essences. In the laboratory, liquid nitrogen is usually stored at low temperature. Yes, the temperature of liquid nitrogen is around -196 degrees Celsius. Here, I estimate it to be around -10 degrees Celsius.” Zheng Ren smiled slightly, explaining to the shopping guide and sales manager.
As a professional chat terminator, Zheng Ren won once again.
His smile, in the sales manager’s eyes, was so hateful.
After a professional explanation, the sales manager lost all thoughts of explanation. A plausible ‘professional’ explanation would lead to more and more professional rebuttal.
She was selling goods and cosmetics. Why was he talking about laboratory things?
Under the cold gaze of Miss Bu, Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren left the exclusive brand.
“You’ve done experiments?” Little Yiren asked with a smile.
She was probably the only one who did not think that Zheng Ren was a spoilsport. Perhaps, this was a case of love.
“Before I graduated from university, I had to face a choice. There were two choices: to continue to be a clinical postgraduate student or to take the basic experiment exam. At that time, I worked for my senior brothers and sisters for half a month and saw the experiment.” Zheng Ren smiled and said, “I think it suits me better.”
“Why didn’t you do the experiment later?” Xie Yiren asked with her big eyes.
“Because the boss gave me less money,” Zheng Ren said. “Even I couldn’t live with that little money.”
Zheng Ren felt a little regretful. He had always thought that he was more suitable to be an experimental dog than a surgical dog. Unfortunately, he did not have any financial resources. If he were to be a test dog, he would have to use his spare time to earn money to support himself.
How much did he have to like using his hobby as a career?
Therefore, Zheng Ren gave up on continuing to be a postgraduate student and returned to his hometown to participate in work.
Little Yiren smiled and held Zheng Ren’s hand. His ten fingers were interlocked, making him feel that he was no longer alone.
After more than two hours of trekking, they finally arrived at Byredo’s exclusive store.
Before this, Little Yiren only looked but did not buy anything.
Zheng Ren really did not understand her behavior pattern. Men came from Mars, and women came from Venus–perhaps that was the case.
Not everything needed to be understood. It was enough to go shopping with Little Yiren. As long as she was happy. It did not matter even if it was a roller coaster ride.
Zheng Ren thought all this to himself.
Little Yiren pulled Zheng Ren’s hand over and smeared a little of the Byredo hand cream. This hand cream had a thicker texture. After smearing it evenly, Little Yiren took a sniff and picked a few more smells. In the end, she chose one that she was very satisfied with.
Then, she placed Zheng Ren’s hand in front of his nose and smiled. “Take a sniff.”
The smell was very light. It was not pungent, but it gave him a distant feeling.
“It’s pretty good,” Zheng Ren’s answer gave her a perfunctory feeling.
“Then this is it? Put a tube in the duty room. Remember to apply it every time you perform surgery,” Little Yiren reminded.
“Okay, okay.” Zheng Ren memorized this matter in his mind.
However, it was hard to say how long this kind of memory could be maintained.
After browsing for a while, Su Yun’s WeChat came in. He told Zheng Ren that he was eating at a Japanese restaurant in the evening. There were no emojis and he even specifically told Zheng Ren not to miss it.
