100 This Is a Tourist Trap; Lin Fan Makes His Move

The International Perfume Exhibition was held in Jiangbei City’s Star Cluster building.

Lin Fan stood in front of the gate and sniffed the fragrance in the air. He looked at the crowd that was rushing in and followed them in.

Most of the people who attended the International Perfume Exhibition were women or men who were shopping with women.

It was rare to see a man like Lin Fan alone.

However, Lin Fan did not care too much. He walked and watched, commenting and calculating in his heart.

The International Perfume Exhibition was huge and had hundreds of booths.

It attracted many international big brands, including Chanel, Dior, Lancome, and so on.

Many women were trying out the samples in front of different booths, discussing in low voices and laughing from time to time.

The atmosphere of the entire exhibition was extremely relaxed and lively.

Every time Lin Fan walked past a display booth, he could smell the scent of different brands of perfume. At the same time, the staff would hand over samples of perfume.

He had only strolled around for a short while, but the number of perfume samples in Lin Fan’s hands had already reached more than ten.

Just like that, Lin Fan continued to walk forward.

When he arrived at a perfume booth called Flower Stem, he stopped for a moment.

This booth was obviously larger than the average booth, and the exterior design was very gentle and fashionable. There were many employees in the store, and they were all in high spirits.

It was obvious that Flower Stem took the exhibition very seriously.

However… Lin Fan was not too bothered with all these.

From the moment he entered the International Perfume Exhibition, there was a unique fragrance that he had never smelled before as well as a slightly familiar fragrance.

Lin Fan was a little curious as he slowly walked over to the exhibition booth.

Soon, a sweet-looking sales assistant came over and asked with a smile, “Hello, how can I help you?”

Lin Fan sniffed the air and was about to speak.

At this time, a dissatisfied voice sounded not far away.

A woman of medium build with heavy makeup called out, “What did you apply to me? Why do I smell so bad?”

The round-faced man next to her chimed in, “Is this perfume or stinky water? Where did you get the face to sell it?”

The sales assistant standing in front of them lowered her head and said in a panic, “Sir, Madam, there must be a misunderstanding here.”

Even though that was what she said, she was clearly not confident enough.

That was because the sales assistant had also smelled the pungent smell.

“What misunderstanding could it be?” the woman with heavy makeup asked. “Quickly smell it. Is this a fragrance or a stench? I think you’re a tourist trap!”

Then, she shouted, “Everyone, look! This is a tourist trap! Their perfume is stinky, so don’t ever use their perfume!”

Hearing this, everyone around them looked over.

Some of the people who were about to try the perfume quickly stepped aside.

Soon, the huge Flower Stem booth became extremely deserted.

At this moment, a staff member wearing a red armband walked over and asked, “What happened here?”

The woman with heavy makeup walked up and said, “This is a fake shop. They’re selling low-quality perfumes! They’ll become smelly once sprayed. I’ve just put on their perfume. Quick, smell the scent on my body…”

In fact, before the woman with heavy makeup even got close, the staff member had already smelled the stench.

When he got close, it made him have the urge to vomit.

The staff member could not help but take two steps away from the woman with heavy makeup. Then, he reproached the sales assistant, “What’s going on?”

The sales assistant was also a little puzzled and could only say, “This… There must be some misunderstanding here.”

“Bullsh*t!” The round-faced man shouted.

Some of the people around them also slowly smelled the stench. They either covered their noses or kept retreating…

Some people even took photos of the booth from a distance. Clearly, they were preparing to tell their friends not to buy the perfumes from Flower Stem.

Seeing this, the sales assistant was extremely anxious.

It was the age of information. Once people labeled Flower Stem as a stinky perfume, it would have a great impact on the brand.

The reason they set up a booth at the International Perfume Exhibition today was to improve the image and reputation of their perfumes, not to discredit them!

Lin Fan, who had not said anything all this while, finally spoke, “Actually, this lady’s stench has nothing to do with Flower Stem’s perfume.”

When the woman with heavy makeup heard this, she felt like her tail had been stepped on.

What did he mean by that?

Not because of the perfume?

Did that not mean to say that the stench came from her?

The woman with heavy makeup shouted, “You’re definitely one of Flower Stem’s people, so, of course, you’d put in a good word for the brand! Everyone, don’t believe him!”

Lin Fan did not answer the woman’s question and said calmly, “Before you sprayed Flower Stem’s perfume, you also used perfumes from Wind Fragrance, Moonlight, SE, and other brands, right?

“These perfumes are made from rose, jasmine, orchid, cape jasmine, and many other different scents. They’re mixed using special methods to achieve certain smells.

“However, you won’t smell good just because you put on more perfumes.

“It’s like in a chemistry experiment. When some things exist alone, there won’t be any changes. However, when they are mixed together, they will produce special changes.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up a bottle of perfume from Flower Stem and opened the cap.

“Smell it. There shouldn’t be any stench, right?”

The staff member placed it near his nose and sniffed it.

The curious people around them sniffed the perfume as well. Indeed, they did not smell anything wrong with it.

Lin Fan brought out perfume samples from Wind Fragrance, Moonlit, SE, and other brands to let people smell them.

Just as Lin Fan had said, the perfumes did not smell bad.

Then, Lin Fan mixed the different perfumes together.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a pungent smell spread in all directions.

“F*ck! It’s so stinky!”

“It’s too smelly!”

“Blargh!”

Instantly, a wave of shouts rang out at the scene.

Some people almost vomited.

At this moment, everyone finally believed Lin Fan’s words. This stench was caused by mixing different perfumes and not Flower Stem’s perfume.

The woman with heavy makeup and the round-faced man also understood that they were in the wrong. They lowered their heads and walked away without saying a word.

Very quickly, Flower Stem’s booth regained its calm.

Lin Fan also felt that the stench was a little bad and used his hand to fan the air gently by his nose.

Then, he opened the cap of Flower Stem’s perfume and sprayed it all over his body.

After a short while, the fragrance of Flower Stem’s perfume covered the stench.

The surroundings once again smelled good.

The people who had smelled the stinky odor suddenly smelled a good fragrance. It was as if they had been walking in the desert for several days and had finally welcomed spring water. They felt extremely comfortable.

As a result, they all gathered around Flower Stem’s booth.

At this moment, a crisp sound rang out beside Lin Fan. It was like the sound of a zither being played.

“Thank you,” she said.
