Chapter 297


    Chapter 297 Perfume Competition


    “I would like to invite you to represent the Kaufmann Group and coborate with the Monaghan Group,


    and be the chief perfumer for the new brand.”


    Freya narrowed her eyes.


    “Mr. Monaghan, as I mentioned before, the investment in this industry is not significant. It mainly relies


    on craftsmanship. How can you trust that I have this skill? What if I can only create one type of


    agarwood fragrance? Besides, if I have the form and the skill, don’t you think the Kaufmann Group


    can do this project alone? After all, the investment is not that high. You must give us a reason to


    cooperate with the Monaghan Group, or in other words, what advantages we can gain by coborating


    with yourpany.”


    Freya voiced a series of questions. Although her voice was soft, her words were sharp and hit the nail


    on the head.


    Radley’s expression softened.


    Recently, he had thought about many things and understood Freya’s temperament.


    Just like the previous project about the reconstruction of West Geft, as long as it was rted. to


    business or the Kaufmann Group, Freya could set aside personal feelings and handle it professionally.


    “The Monaghan Group can be responsible for all the procurement of raw materials, obtaining prices


    that the Kaufmann Group cannot.”


    Radley paused for a moment. “Arge part of the domestic herbal medicine market is owned. by the


    Monaghan Group. So, in simple terms, you only need to provide personnel for the position, and the rest


    can be prepared by the Monaghan Group.”


    Freya narrowed her eyes. She knew that the Monaghan Group upied arge portion of the herbal


    medicine market. If she coborated with them, not only could she obtain raw materials at a lower


    price, but she could also easily acquire rare medicinal herbs.


    Even formon medicinal herbs, she could obtain high-quality goods that were rarely found in the


    market.


    Freya pursed her lips. This was indeed a lucrative business.


    What excited her even more than perfumery was her expertise in traditional medicine. However, the


    quality of medicinal herbs avable in the market was usually average, and some minor markets were


    even filled with counterfeit products. She couldn’t personally go and buy the herbs every time, and if


    she asked someone else to buy them, the purchased items might not meet her standards.

    Sylvia looked at Freya and interrupted her thoughts.


    “We need to discuss this matter. Mr. Monaghan, if you’re not busy, please stay for lunch.”


    It was a polite way of saying goodbye, and anyone smart enough could tell that.


    Freya stood up to see him off but saw Radley sitting steadily on the opposite couch. There was a cold


    smile on his handsome face.


    “Thank you, Mrs. Kaufmann.”


    Sylvia was stunned.


    Freya was speechless as well. Was he so shameless that he would have dinner at someone else’s


    house on the tenth day of the new year?


    But no matter what, the words had been said and couldn’t be taken back.


    Sylvia forced a smile.


    Radley didn’t mind either and politely said, “If you have something to attend to, Mrs. Kaufmann, you


    can go ahead. Miss Kaufmann is here to apany me, and we can discuss. the matter of


    fragrances.”


    Sylvia didn’t


    say anything and left the space for the two young people.


    After they left, Radley looked at Freya.


    “What do you think about what I just said?”


    “I haven’t seriously thought about it yet. This matter needs to be discussed internally within. the


    company.”


    Radley’s gaze turned deeper.


    “This time, it’s not a coboration between the Kaufmann Group and the Monaghan Group. It’s just


    between you and me, so your personal opinion is crucial.”


    Freya felt that Radley’s eyes carried a seductive charm.


    She avoided his gaze and took a sip of tea from the cup on the table.


    “Mr. Monaghan, why are you suddenly interested in fragrances?”


    As Radley said, the techniques passed down for thousands of years were naturally much stronger than


    perfumes. However, if they wanted to make it to the international market, it would require significant


    investment.

    But if they only wanted to create a fragrance brand in the domestic market, it would be a small matter


    for the Monaghan Group. There was no need for him to get involved personally.


    Radley lowered his gaze. “If you agree, I can tell you about the ns. Frey, you have always been


    clear about separating personal and professional matters, haven’t you?”


    Freya frowned but remained silent.


    She indeed kept personal and professional matters separate, but the person in front of her was Radley.


    He just sat there without moving, but her heart was already beating faster than usual.


    “You speak first, and then I’ll consider it,” Freya said.


    Radley thought for a moment. “There is an international perfumepetition happening soon, covering


    a wide range of aspects. It is considered a highly authoritativepetition in the industry. I thought that


    if you participate with traditional fragrances, it could help raise the international recognition of Florin’s


    ancient perfumery techniques.”


    Freya furrowed her brow. It was a fantastic idea!


    But…


    “Will the perfumepetition allow traditional perfumers to participate?”


    “I have already contacted the organizers. Thispetition is like a fragrance contest, regardless of the


    techniques used.”


    Freya’s heart started to race. This was a rare opportunity.


    Even if she didn’t coborate with Radley, participating in such an internationalpetition. could


    promote Florin’s traditional perfumery techniques.


    “So, what do you think?”


    “Your proposal is very tempting, but I still have some hesitation,” Freya said, pursing her lips.


    Radley’s gaze deepened slightly.


    “If you are tempted, then why are you still hesitating?”


    His gaze carried a probing look, profound and mysterious, as if he could see through a person’s heart.


    Freya looked up and met his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.

    She felt a bit guilty and panicked.


    “What does this have to do with you?” Her voice was urgent and fast.


    Radley’s lips curled up with a gentle smile. He hadn’t mentioned anything about it being. rted to him


    yet.


    “Frey, is it because of me?”


    Freya looked up. “You’re overthinking it. I agree with your proposal.”


    Radley’s provocation seeded. Seeing the positive response, he stood. up.


    “I have a meeting to attend today, so I’ll go back first. Please apologize to Mrs. Kaufmann for


    me.”


    “You said you would stay for lunch!” Freya frowned, feeling like she had been tricked.


    “If I stay, you won’t be able to enjoy your meal.” Radley took a few steps toward the exit. “Won’t you


    see me off?”


    “No!” Freya replied irritably.


    Radley seemed to have expected this and chuckled lightly before leaving.


    Freya sat on the couch with a furrowed brow. She lost interest in chatting in the group.


    Coborating with the Monaghan Group on a fragrance brand…


    From any perspective, it was a good thing. The only downside was that the president of the Monaghan


    Group was Radley.


    “Forget it. Since it’s a good thing, let’s do it!”


    Freya made up her mind. Last time, when Melissa had an ident, she needed to coborate with


    Radley to investigate the culprit. At that time, she had already removed him from her


    block list.


    She navigated to Radley’s contact information and sent him a message.


    “When and where is thepetition you mentioned?”


    Radley quickly replied.


    ‘Hartterre, in February
