Chapter 732
"What?"
Jenny and Olivia exchanged startled expressions and looked at her.
"No way!"
"It's the truth!"
With a sigh, Lily said defeatedly, "I took an exam when I started.I got the title of a perfumer, but I never
passed the exam for the practicing certificate.
The Perfumers’ Society came up with that certificate, and it was never needed on the international
level."
The others were speechless.
Jenny became thoughtful.
"Well, it’s not needed internationally as there’s no such thing as a practicing certificate
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtelsewhere.Still...you wouldn’t fail the exam, would you?"
Jenny added, "Even the junior technician could get it, and you couldn’t?"
Recalling how she used to make things difficult for Lily, Jenny realized she could have stopped her
from joining the company if she had demanded the certificate right from the start.
Thankfully, Jenny had not thought of it.
Of course, who would have guessed that Lily would not possess the most basic thing? "Yeah, yeah, I
have it, too!"
Olivia added hurriedly.
Speechless, Lily scowled at her.
"I admit I’m stupid.All right?"
"That’s not what I meant, but..."
Olivia remembered that the exam was all about theoretical stuff, and the knowledge involved had little
to do with perfumery.
Besides some fundamental theories about the classification and application of scents, the exam was
mostly about political theories.
Was that the reason Lily did not pass the exam?
"You could practice for those questions and will know the answers if you memorize them.You’re smart,
and I’m sure you can pass the exam," Olivia said.
Seeing how insistent they were, Lily sighed and said, "All right.It's not that I really can’t pass the exam,
but I don’t want to take it."
She continued, "If it's got something to do with perfumery, I'll try my best to learn no matter how tough it
is.However, the exam has nothing to do with perfumery.If it’s not recognized internationally and I have
no intention in joining the Perfumers’ Society, why waste time trying to get something I don’t even
need?"

The problem now was not whether she could pass the exam, but she didn’t even want to waste time on
something meaningless.The other two were speechless.
Since Lily thought that way even after their persuasion all morning, it was unlikely she would
budge.She even convinced them that there was no need for the certificate instead.
The three slumped against the desk, exhausted.
Olivia asked, "That means...you're not taking the exam for real?"
Jenny sighed.
"The Perfumers’ Society will put you under investigation and might even press charges against you,
though.It’s clear they want to give you trouble."
"Just let them!"
Lily let out an unconcerned look.
"Frankly speaking, I’ve never understood the purpose of the society.Within the Perfumers’ Society,
besides the few retired top perfumers who haven’t come up with anything new, who else got famous for
their products? Isn't creating products the greatest purpose of a perfumer?"
