It's different now. What is different now? Xia Wennan felt that he could vaguely understand what Ming Luchuan meant.
He couldn't help asking the last question: "Then you already know that he is not your real father, does he know it himself?"
"I guess he knows," Ming Luchuan said, but then added, "Maybe he doesn't know."
"What? Do you know or don't you know?"
Ming Luchuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether he knows or not."
There was a traffic jam on the road for a while, and it was already late when we arrived at Ming's house.
While Ming Luchuan was still parking, Xia Wennan saw Ming Qin was standing outside the door with a shawl wrapped around his shoulders, waiting for them.
Xia Wennan hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards Mingqin. When Mingqin saw him, he smiled, trotted up to meet him and held Xia Wennan's hand: "Wennan, thank you for your hard work."
Xia Wennan could only smile awkwardly: "It's not hard."
Mingqin raised his hand to hug him, and when he let go, he said, "As expected of our Chief Perfumer Mingyan, come in quickly, dinner is ready."
Entering the room, Xia Wennan saw that Ming Siyan and Yin Zejing were already there, but did not see Ming Sichen.
Ming Qin took Xia Wennan's hand all the way to the restaurant, and Ming Luchuan could only follow behind them in silence.
Xia Wennan was very uncomfortable. When Mingqin was about to pull him to sit beside him, he grabbed Ming Luchuan's hand, took the opportunity to let Mingqin let him go, and leaned closer to Ming Luchuan's ear and said to him: "Help me quickly."
Ming Luchuan held both of his hands, and also whispered in his ear: "Come here." Then he sat down in the seat between Mingqin and Xia Wennan.
Minqin looked at them with a smile, and said, "Every time I see that you two have such a good relationship, I am happy."
Xia Wennan changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't you see Sichen?"
Minqin said: "Sichen is not feeling well today, so I asked Aunt Zhang to feed him dinner first, and send him back to rest."
"Oh, is he okay?" Xia Wennan asked.
"It's also an old disease of the body, with poor resistance and easy to get sick."
At this time, the aunt brought the dishes for today's dinner to the table, and Mingqin asked Yin Zejing to go to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine for everyone to pour.
Mingqin picked up his wine glass, looked at Xia Wennan and said, "Today we must have a drink to celebrate."
Xia Wennan didn't speak, his fingers lightly touched the glass goblet in front of him, and he couldn't help but look at Ming Luchuan.
Ming Luchuan asked, "What are you celebrating?"
Mingqin said it as it should be: "Of course it is to celebrate the birth of Xishui Temple!" He seemed to be a little emotional when he said this: "The name of Xishui Temple is really nice, and it sounds like Wennan's style. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to hear it yet. When it comes to the taste, why didn’t you bring it back for Dad to try today?”
Ming Luchuan said: "Dad, you didn't mention it on the phone. I didn't know that you asked us to come back for dinner because of this matter."
"I don't know how to take the initiative in such a big matter," Minqin sounded like he was complaining. However, he quickly smiled and said: "It has been almost two years since Mingyan launched the emotional series, and pheromone perfumes have directly subverted the entire traditional perfume market and raised customers' expectations. Therefore, although various companies have been in the market for two years With the launch of new products, the overall perfume market is still in the doldrums, and everyone is waiting for our big perfumers to come up with new works.”
Xia Wennan was praised too highly by him, and unconsciously felt a little flustered.
Mingqin said: "Xi Shui Temple must be launched before the end of the year, and take the most high-end route. Please ask Yang Youming to endorse."
Yang Youming is one of the top alpha male stars in the film industry. He has won countless domestic and foreign awards, and his endorsements are almost all international first-line luxury brands. Leaving aside the issue of endorsement fees, he was very cautious when accepting endorsements, and it was not easy to negotiate.
"And this will also catch up with the International Perfume Awards in March next year. I am confident that Wennan's Xishui Temple will be the second enemy's tears."
Xia Wennan didn't speak. He put his finger under the table and lightly touched Ming Luchuan's leg.
While Minqin was speaking, Ming Luchuan kept shaking the wine glass in front of him. At this moment, he put down the glass and said to Minqin, "I think we can wait a little longer."
Minqin smiled and asked him, "What are you waiting for?"
Ming Luchuan said: "Wennan is still developing another perfume, which is in the same series as Xishui Temple, and hopes to enter the market at the same time."
Mingqin nodded, he asked Xia Wennan: "Wennan, how long will it take?"
Xia Wennan took a deep breath and said, "I don't know."
Minqin looked at him and stopped talking.
There was silence at the dining table for a while. Tonight, Ming Siyan was originally not in high spirits. Seeing that Minqin was silent, he also remained silent. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Yin Zejing still said, "Can I eat first? I'm hungry."
Minqin looked at him upon hearing this.
Yin Zejing said: "Let's talk after dinner, anyway, there is still time."
Minqin nodded, smiled and said, "Then let's eat first."
During the meal, Mingqin really stopped talking about work, but chatted with Xia Wennan and the others, asking about Xia Wennan's recent treatment.
Xia Wennan briefly talked about what the doctor told him when he went to review the last time.
"Did Wen Nan remember something?" Ming Siyan asked curiously.
Xia Wennan looked at him, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a feeling."
"Feeling?" Ming Siyan didn't seem to understand.
Xia Wennan said: "I didn't think of any specific event or person. I just suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. At this time, the mood was very familiar, as if I had experienced it somewhere before."
"So there is Xishui Temple?" Yin Zejing said.
Xia Wennan nodded.
At this time, the dinner was almost over, and everyone put down their chopsticks. Mingqin took a sip from his wine glass and asked Xia Wennan, "Xi Shui Temple is an Alpha pheromone perfume, so you plan to have an Omega perfume in the same series?" The pheromone compatibility of Xishui Temple must be very high, right?"
Xia Wennan shook his head: "No, it's a Beta perfume."
Mingqin's wine glass touched his lips, and his movements suddenly stopped. He tilted his head slightly to look at Xia Wennan, and asked strangely, "Beta? But Beta doesn't have pheromones?"
For a long time, Xia Wennan himself didn't know what the Beta perfume he recorded meant. Even now, this is not a clear concept, but he has a vague feeling that he will figure out what he wants. Just like Xishui Temple, this Beta perfume, which has not had time to be named, has probably already had a mature idea, and it and Xishui Temple should be two fragrances that are placed on the counter at the same time and intertwined with each other.
He said to Minchin: "Yes, but isn't Beta the largest customer group for our pheromone perfume?"
Minqin gently put down his wine glass: "The reason why Beta uses pheromone perfume is to pretend to be Alpha or Omega. They don't need an ordinary Beta perfume."
Xia Wennan was about to refute.
Mingqin had already said to Ming Luchuan: "Luchuan, come to my study, I have something to tell you."
