Chemistry

The second week of the Foundation Material Center.

Jungwoo's days were still peaceful. It was quite limited what external researchers could do within the 15-day deployment period except for holidays. The first day was strange.

Life is all there is to face the elders, leaning against the base material center, unless summoned by the center chief.

Not even a lot. In this place, where all of our team-based research is done, very few of us have a professional story to share with outsiders who will disappear the day after tomorrow.

When I met Chief Lee Jung-cheol at a ceremony celebrating the success of the fire-fighting tender, there was so much to talk about.

Thanks to this, the leader of the Chong Tae-sun Center was the biggest burden here.

“I'll take over the project. ”

“I'm going at the end of January. ”

“Just take the team leader for 10 short days. I can get you anything you want, but I'll cut you off the budget. ”

“The research that started like that can't work. ”

As the time for drinking tea with Zhang Tai Sun increased, Jung was only pressured to take on the project from the basic materials.

Reject again and again.

Maybe that's why, even Chong Tae-sun gave me a job to do.

“· · The metal and resin adhesion technology that the three basic teams are developing still looks to be improving. Simplify the splicing process to make it lighter. ”

“You want to lose weight? How?"

“For combinations, look at the report. I was up all night last night. Let's get this over with.”

“Haha. You can sleep here. ”

“I'm leaving early. Look at the next page. The interior coating film requested by KG Construction is said to be lacking in formation by Lean Manager · ·”

“You want to eat with me, I'll study here. ”

“· · We've modified the oligomeric synthesis to change the way surfaces are treated. See also this report. ”

“You want to eat with me, stay here! ”

“Oh, it's 11: 50 already. I have to go.You don't leave early in the afternoon. ”

“Jungwoo!”

The third week after the last five days came, the place of work became a center room.

As Zhang Tai Seon chased after him regularly, instead of building connections, basic materials researchers even managed to avoid Jung Woo.

So, after 14 days in basic materials, the last day of dispatch, Friday morning came.

‘Still, it's refreshing. ’

Jungwoo entered the center room with his own research as a leaving gift and prepared by the private laboratory in heaven.

“Sir, are you there? ”

The secretary gestures to ask for a moment. Usually it was straight through, so I looked inside the door and I saw that I already had guests.

I got a text on my phone while I was sitting in the waiting seat. It was Song Bo-young.

[Can I see you for a second? I don't understand one of the articles, one of the concepts that I mentioned last week.]

I wrote a quick reply.

[Unless the head of the center wants us to move in together.]

Did you do that again? Director Jang is really funny. You're not just hanging out with your pants today. [Laughs]

She was the only one at the company who talked nonsense about things, so I knew how much Zhang Zhen loved her.

[You like it that much. When I give you a project, you just sit there and pretend you don't know it. It's not an easy opportunity.]

Team Leader responsible for one project.

Jungwoo also wanted to challenge me someday. It's just a burden to work under an extremely adventurous center manager. Moreover, there are still four other centers left in the dispatch process.

[See you at lunch? Bob is Bo-young's boss.]

[Buy me all the time. You eat really well, Jungwoo.]

[Then I'll take my chances. We can talk about the paper next week.]

[No! No! I don't have time for this weekend. I have to see it today. I have to.]

[Sunbae, are you stretching your legs?]

[Come here.]

The puppet emoticon appears and disappears in a fierce rage. Even though I was mocking her with text messages, Song Bo-young's face was imagined and she smiled.

“Jungwoo. Go inside."

I thought I'd waited a while, but the secretary gestured inside. Jungwoo stood up with his cell phone and asked.

“Isn't there a guest inside? Are we still going in?"

“I think it's great. ”

He told me nothing else, saying that his secretary had given him instructions.

Jungwoo came to the door hesitantly and knocked.

“Only woo.”

“Come in.”

When the door opens, the horn-rimmed man on the couch waves his hand in greetings. Jungwoo stopped when he saw the guest sitting on the other side.

She was an eye-catching, blue-eyed foreigner woman.

Age was unpredictable, but he looked young, and most of all, the atmosphere was justified. I can't help noticing how strong the Zhang Fei line is.

The woman who lost her red hair moved her gaze and looked at Jungwoo.

“Hey, hello. ”

“He's French. ”

The Korean language protrudes from the opponent and Jungwoo's eyes widen. The woman looked at him and asked.

“Him. Are you eligible to attend this discussion? ”

The pronunciation was mixed with a foreign accent, but the grammar was very accurate.

After gesturing to sit next to Jungwoo, Zhang Tai Seon told the woman.

“You're more qualified than anyone. Just enough to give you an answer to any question you have. ”

In response, the woman's gaze was toward Jungwoo, who was seated.

“Jungwoo, this is Michelle Representative of Audrey perfume. ”

“Audrey?"

I suddenly thought of it as a luxury perfume brand.

“Nice to meet you. ”

Jungwoo nods at the target while continuing to watch. I could see why Zhang Tai Sun's gaze seemed to notice.

‘I can't even guess my age because I'm white. You're not thirty, are you? Oh, stranger. ’

One punch to the head and a dull nosebleed at a cropped proportion that can never come from the Asians. I had never seen a foreigner like this up close before in the movie. I could feel a foreign depression that I didn't even know existed.

“Take a look at this. ”

A line pointing to a document on the table. Jung takes hold of the document and searches it quickly. From what I've read, I think I know why Representative Michelle was here.

Develop new fragrance products.

The document provided an overview of the project and a list of ingredients needed to create a custom oriental fragrance aimed at the Asian market. Among them, there were materials that were difficult to obtain in bulk.

“Are you trying to artificially construct endangered wildlife components? ”

“That's right."

“It's tricky. It's not just one or two samples to extract and re-synthesize. ”

Fortunately, as soon as I saw the material, the molecular structure floated in my head and I imagined a scented molecule.

“I don't know about anything else, but this parasite flower. I think a slight deformation of the sandalwood will give you a similar scent. ”

It was Michelle who responded to the sound, not Zhang Zhen Zhen.

“Something similar is not possible. It has to be the same.”

“Without having to consist entirely of flowers, just synthesize the ten broadest directional ranges and mimic enough. ”

Michelle slams the table as she hears it. Jung was startled and stopped speaking.

“A chemist's idea of womanhood. ”

I pronounced the word "crap," but I understood enough. Michelle speaks with furious eyes.

“Perfume has the power to transform people in just one second. You have no choice but to choose a scent made exclusively from natural ingredients. If it's not perfect, I'll find another place. ”

When I was angry, the pronunciation changed strangely to Korean. Jungwoo said for some reason that he would curse like a Korean.

“It was tricky. It didn't mean it was impossible. Smell molecules are made up of only five atoms, except a few. You don't have to work this hard for a scent that only has a few carbon differences. ”

“Wontory.”

Michelle cuts Jungwoo's horse and suddenly pulls a small bottle out of her bag. Then I looked at him and asked.

“Did you sprinkle 'Bourne Number Nine'? ”

“Huh? I sprinkled some, but I think I smelled too much. ”

Chong Tae-sun, a non-Audrey product, grabbed Jung Woo's shoulder with a nice smile.

“You smell good, Jules. You're the CEO of perfume. ”

“Me, too. ”

“Hahaha. Jungwoo, you are much obliged that it's over for today. ”

Michelle uncovers the bottle.

The fragrance spread through the nostrils of Zhang Fei and Jungwoo.

“Oh.”

“Wow."

Two men spit out their elasticity at the same time. Smells like soap I've smelled before. Even though it was brief, it felt as captivating as it could be compared to what Zhang Fei sowed.

Michelle smiles coldly as if she knew.

“The scent of the soap family brings relief and comfort to men. The Bone Number Nine has an artificial musk scent, so it doesn't make me feel like this. I mean, that's the worst, that's the best. ”

When the lid was closed again, the aroma faded. However, I felt a strong sense of relaxation, as Michelle said.

The smell of expensive perfume was the first time I smelled it, so I never imagined it would be this effective.

How much is that bottle worth? ’

Taking it into consideration, the world of all sorts of scented molecules floating around the bottle opened before my eyes.

Some in the shape of buds, some in fruit and leaves. Even the smell of the barrel itself was floating. They were all so complex, it was hard to even figure out what molecule the scent was from.

I was sorry to call all these aromatic complexes just soap smells.

The carbon mass seen around the wrist of Zhang Tai Lin emits a Daddy skin-like scent, which gives a luxurious wooden scent even though there was only a small difference in the number of carbons.

“KG chemistry says we can do it, but we don't trust it. ”

As Michelle spoke as if she had left her mind, Zhang Fei's expression changed. I also asked Jungwoo to do something.

“Uh, you know. ”

The opposing Pokémon is not very fond of chemists in the first place. That's why I didn't think I could change my mind by saying something to my mouth.

Jungwoo looks at Michelle's bottle and says,

“I misunderstood. Every single atomic number must have the same thing, to combine this wonderful fragrance. It's woven at a more sophisticated rate than any compound. ”

“Our products are not chemicals. ”

“No, chemistry. ”

Michelle makes a sharp shot at the Sun. Zhang Tai Lin said, 'Now you're going to a different center! I looked at Jungwoo with a sad expression.

Jungwoo pointed to the bottle of perfume.

“This perfume. You distilled it, right? The moisture would be roughly 96 percent. It's probably fragranced with four percent remaining. I thought of something that smelled a little less carbon, and it was a Redwood molecule. Around three-quarters of the aroma. And this is strawberry. Blackberries? About a 20th of the total. It's in your mouth. It's called poop, no discharge. He looks like a hairy rat. One in 40. ”

Michelle became surprised as the combination ratio of alcohol from Jungwoo, which should only be known to the company's perfumers, began to appear.

“Stop. Did you do a thorough analysis of our products? ”

“Let's call it a preliminary investigation. Anyway, I just wanted to say that mixing natural ingredients is also a chemical way. And that's what happened. KG chemistry researchers are confident they can do it right. ”

Michelle said, "Hmm."

“We are going to set up a new perfume factory to sell to Asia, not China. I'm not sure I have the capacity to work with KG chemistry. But I wanted to see the results. ”

His complexion brightened.

“Do you accept KG Chemistry's offer? ”

“First of all.”

Michelle looks up at the basin with a small bottle on the table.

“I will hear and decide how you have researched this product and why it is not yet available in the EU market. ”

You're not selling? ’

Jungwoo was slightly embarrassed. Zhang Tai Seon said, "Please! ’I looked at myself with my eyes. I'm going to leave this meeting anyway. Jungwoo fixes his posture, looks straight at Michelle and says:

“You just showed off your scent. That's enough for a chemist like me. ”

“Absolute odeur? ”

“Yes?”

There was a distinctive foreign language that was very common in South Korea when French came out. Luckily, Michelle told me in Korean that she looked at business conversations she had learned for work.

“Do you have an absolute sense of smell? ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. Well, roughly. ”

To put it into perspective, it was never a matter of looking at fragrance on a molecular level. It's easier to pretend you have a good sense of smell.

Michelle was quite shocked.

“Then we have to make a perfumer. It's a waste, a loss. ”

“Choice of profession is free, isn't it? It's a democracy, like France, like Korea. Oh, you know he's not North Korean, right? ”

Jungwoo, who was about to mention the spirit of the French revolution, did not believe Michelle when she took another bottle out of her bag and opened the lid.

Michelle opens the lid of the new perfume bottle. The familiar scent of flowers fills the space, and she looks at Jungwoo and says.

“Let's talk about this. ”

“Lavender and orange base. Overall, big.”

“What's the ratio?"

“Uh, roughly one-fifth. And this green one is like a tree's gin, and this is three-quarters. Even the plant roots with white petals don't know the exact name, but one in 20. Tell me more?”

“Orris. How did you know that the caldron roots were white? ”

Though the color reflected on the molecule, Jungwoo answered wisely.

“It smells better. ”

Michelle closes her lid. And I saw Zhang Tai Seon.

“If you sign today, how long can you keep the synthetic fragrance on the list? ”

His face brightened. Jungwoo sighed and then sat comfortably.

The subsequent conversation was an exchange of terms between the business and the business, so I waited tirelessly. My secretary brought me coffee, but I only drank water because it was too much caffeine to overcome insomnia.

“· · Don't worry about facilities. Our affiliate laboratory, KG Life Health Scent Centre, is the best in the country. You can continue your research here. ”

“Where is the factory located? ”

“We will be able to build lines in Iksan, Ochang and Ulsan, so we can build where we want · · · · · · ·. ”

‘When will it end? ’

Jungwoo, who wanted to quickly say goodbye to the center manager, and go around the base material center and make connections, realized that he had to postpone it to the afternoon and shook his head.

When Michelle got up from her seat after she had finished tuning, it was almost 12 o'clock.

“Take a look around, Jules. ”

Michelle glances at the gate and turns her gaze to Jungwoo, standing right next to her.

“Limit Woo. Is that your name? ”

“Yes.”

“That was very impressive. Excellence Award.”

It would be an impression, not an impression. Some of the pronunciations of the word 'ㅇ' seemed to go like that. Michelle said to Jungwoo, who lowered her head in praise.

“I will ask for the perfect scent. ”

Michelle disappears and Jung doesn't understand this, turning his head to Zhang Tai Sun.

“Why are you asking me? ”

“Look at this. ”

Zhang Tai Lin pointed to the top of the contract, with only the approval of the Complaint. Jungwoo's gaze shifted along his fingertips. And the text I found.

[Project Owner: LIMITED Woo.]

“Well, what is it! ”

“I'm asking you to sign a contract, so what do I write out? Michelle's representative, of course, was deciding what to do with you. ”

“I'm done with my assignment today. ”

“Look at Michelle's beauty. If you do this, you won't always see it. ”

“What does it matter? ”

Zhang Tai Seon grinned and tapped Jung Woo's shoulder.

“I'll take good care of the warden, Team Leader. ”

Team Leader, that was creepy.

“Do you want to eat with me? ”

“I have an appointment! ”

“Yeah? But I'll shoot. Eat expensive stuff with the guy with the appointment. My center treasure!”

This was clearly a maneuver by Zhang Fei's crotch.
