Chapter 304 The Monaghan Group’s Representative Isn’t Him
Amidst the murmurs, Inken had finished speaking and left the stage.
Then, the host continued to welcome the other two families-the Jenkins family from Capitael and the Huffman family from Vroria.
The purpose of their investment this time was simple: both of their main businesses involved perfumes, and they wanted to recruit talent for themselves. They subtly praised the benefits and perks of their own companies, hoping that everyone would consider them after the competition.
Freya’s gaze fell on the last car as this final investor attracted a lot of attention.
“The last investor should be the Monaghan family, right?”
“The Monaghans from Caltun. They’re different from these other prestigious families!” someone whispered. “The Monaghan Group has been rapidly expanding and is no longer limited to Caltun. They’re now among the Global 500 companies!”
Everyone’s gaze turned toward the Monaghan Group’s car.
Freya’s heart pounded. Is it Radley? Did he come?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the car door opened. A pair of black leather shoes stepped out of the car, followed by the person inside. The person had a slender figure and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Freya pursed her lips as she watched Connor step out of the car.
“Hello, everyone. I am Connor West, the representative of the Monaghan Group and also Mr. Monaghan’s assistant…”
Behind Freya, a few disappointed voices could be heard.
“I knew it. How could the president of the Monaghan Group come to this kind of competition?”
“That’s right, especially with Mr. Monaghan’s status. But come to think of it, he and Freya seem to have a history together.”
Amidst the discussions, Freya’s eyes gradually lowered.
When she took on this project, she had thought of it as strictly business, but she hadn’t expected Radley to do the same. Freya felt inexplicably disappointed.

Connor, on the other hand, was straightforward. He began to read a script aloud, expressing the desire to recruit talent and wishing everyone success in the competition.
But the Monaghan Group had a much higher level of elegance than the previous two families. They didn’t need to excessively boast about the benefits and perks of their company, as everyone already knew. The Monaghan Group was confident in themselves.
After the introduction, Connor left the stage.
The staff nodded respectfully before turning to the crowd. “I’m sure you’re all curious why we woke you up so early. I believe you all felt it last night. Our accommodation this time. consists of four villas, which can accommodate a hundred people, but it’s still a bit crowded.

“I’m sure you’re all wondering why. Now, let me explain the rules of this competition. Although it’s the finals, it’s divided into five rounds: the top 50 elimination round, the elimination round, followed by the top 10 round, and finally, the top 3 and championship rounds. Today, we’ve called you out temporarily to hold a top-50 elimination round. After this round, only 52 out of the 104 people present will remain.”
“A 50% elimination rate!”
The crowd erupted in disbelief as most of them could not accept it.
“What the hell? I haven’t even woken up properly, and we have to participate in the top 50 elimination round!?”
“Why do we need so many steps for the finals? At least give us some time to prepare!”
“Yeah, my mind is still foggy!”

Amidst the discussions, the staff spoke sharply, “If you have the skills, you shouldn’t be afraid. of this impromptu competition. The competition schedule won’t be announced in advance. to ensure fairness. If you have any objections to this process, you can raise them with the organizing committee after the competition. But for now, please follow the rules!”
Everyone stood there with dejected expressions.
Then, the staff continued, “Our competitions are based on themes. The theme for the top 50 elimination round is ‘First Love. Please create a perfume that evokes the feeling of first love.”
“First love?”
Immediately, many people became excited. The theme of first love was wide. It would suffice as long as the perfume had a sense of youthfulness and sweetness, which made it relatively
easy.
“Where can we blend the perfume?” someone asked aloud.

The host smiled and said, “Do you see the bungalow in the distance? That’s where the production team, program team, organizing committee, and investors are located. Behind the bungalow is a large warehouse where you can find everything you need. If you have any requests, write them down and let your assistants get hold of the items. We need to see the results before noon today.”
“Before noon today? How is that possible?”
“Yeah. A good perfumer sometimes takes years to create a classic perfume. How can we create anything in just half a day? Are we supposed to use essence?” someone complained in a low voice.
However, the staff didn’t explain further and continued to announce the flow before adding, “I hope you don’t waste time. Complaining will only shorten the time. you have.”
His reassurance seemed to work as many participants hurried back to the villas.
Freya also returned to the third floor of her villa. She knocked on Brisa’s door since it was still 7:30 a.m. As expected, it was quiet inside her room.
Freya pressed her ear against the door and listened. It seemed that Brisa hadn’t woken up yet.
First love…
Freya thought for a moment and returned to her bedroom. She picked up a pen and wrote down a list of ingredients she needed to make the perfume. Then, she walked out of the villa toward the bungalow with the list in hand.
At that moment, the Pink Beach was empty as only a few people were heading to the warehouse to get materials since she wrote the list quickly.
After walking a few steps, Freya heard a voice behind her.
“Miss Kaufmann.”
Freya turned around and saw Helga not far behind, holding a list in her hand as she gracefully walked over.
At this time, she had changed into a blue casual outfit.
Freya nodded. “Miss Zander.”
Helga glanced at the list in Freya’s hand, unable to hide the sneer in her eyes. “Are you talented at perfumery? You wrote down the formula so quickly. I thought I was the only one who could come up with a formula in such a short time.”

Freya smiled and nodded. “I don’t know much, so I didn’t spend much time on it. As long as it works, it’s fine.”
Helga had an ‘I knew it look in her eyes and made her approach. “Miss Kaufmann, why don’t take a look at the formula? I can give you some valuable advice on our way there.”

Yet, Freya shook her head.
Then, she whispered, “Don’t worry, there are no surveillance cameras now. Just let me take a look. It won’t be a big deal.”
However, when Helga reached out to take it, Freya directly stuffed the list into her pocket.. “Miss Zander, this wouldn’t be fair to the other participants.”
