Along with Xiao Mo and the elderly lady, they were also influenced to calm down a lot and became more confident.

At this moment, An Haiyin said, "First, we will announce the results for ranks 31 to 40."

Not only the audience, but the contestants’ hearts also beat faster, feeling even more nervous.

They all prayed that they wouldn’t be among the bottom 20.

Shi Jiumei nervously stared at the screen, and it turned out she was ranked 38.

Shi Jiumei’s heart sank immediately.

"Will these ten contestants please take off their aprons and come over here," An Haiyin said again.

Shi Jiumei took off her apron, glancing at Ye Fei with resentment.

Ye Fei raised her eyebrows, thinking it wasn’t her who eliminated Shi Jiumei, so why was Shi Jiumei looking at her with such a hateful expression?

If she had that kind of ability, she would have made sure Shi Jiumei didn’t even pass the preliminary selection.

Once the ten contestants stood behind An Haiyin, An Haiyin then said, "Next, here are the votes for ranks 21 to 30."

Ye Fei also nervously scanned through several times but didn’t see her name.

At this moment, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what her final rank is, at least she was sure she had advanced.

These ten contestants also moved behind An Haiyin, standing in a line.

"Next, let’s see the vote count for ranks 11 to 20," An Haiyin said.

Ding Ruyun saw her name at rank 20, barely on the verge of advancing.

Ding Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief; advancing was all that mattered.

She vowed to show everyone in the next round!

Fu Jiaxu was ranked 15th, both progressing again.

"Fei Xiaomo isn’t among them," Fu Jiaxu didn’t know when he had moved next to Ding Ruyun, "Looks like she’s in the top ten again."

Ding Ruyun’s face didn’t look good, she didn’t answer him.

Seeing this, Fu Jiaxu said, "Don’t worry about the judges’ words. None of us think it matters. Your ingredients are completely different from Fei Xiaomo’s. Just because she used certain methods, does it mean others can’t use them? That’s unreasonable, it’s too domineering!"

"But when those words came out from the judges, I felt utterly humiliated," Ding Ruyun said in a low voice.

"This is only the top thirty. As the competition goes on, who will even remember this?" Fu Jiaxu scoffed, "If you ask me, those judges were way too favorable towards Fei Xiaomo. It’s one thing for all three to vote for her, but to say all that to you affects the audience’s perception of you greatly."

Ding Ruyun glanced in Ye Fei’s direction and said, "Someone like Fei Xiaomo shouldn’t be participating in the competition! Her results are totally unreal!"

Now, finally, the results from rank 1 to 20 were due.

Fu Jiaxu whispered, "I hope Fei Xiaomo isn’t in front; that would be disgusting. Who knows how much she’s manipulating her results?"

At this moment, the top ten results were revealed on the screen.

Everyone instinctively looked to see who was first.

Everyone’s face changed when they saw it.

It was really Ye Fei.

Fei Xiaomo: 90+30, total votes, 120!

The first 90 votes were from the audience’s ballot.

The last 30 votes were from the three judges.

Putting aside those 30 votes, occupying 90 out of a thousand ballots was quite an achievement for Ye Fei.

It meant that out of 40 contestants, she alone garnered nearly a tenth of the votes!

Shi Jiumei stared at the screen in shock, almost doubting the calculation.

"Will the advancing contestants please stand with the five judges," An Haiyin said.
