"But after tasting it now, I realize that Fei Xiaomo indeed has her unique qualities. Her ingenuity and creativity are something I can’t match," Li Zhexuan straightened his back. "However, this is only temporary. I will also improve myself and not always lose to her."

Zeng Jieyun nodded with a smile, "Me too."

Gu Changfeng and others couldn’t help but nod in approval; the two were not being disingenuous.

Even though they weren’t as good, they didn’t stubbornly criticize Ye Fei like Shi Jiumei did.

If Li Zhexuan and Zeng Jieyun claimed that Ye Fei wasn’t as good as them, today’s live broadcast would undoubtedly be a joke.

"Thank you," Ye Fei said earnestly to the two.

"Quick, let Shi Jiumei leave!"

"Yeah, both the second and third-place contestants admitted that Fei Xiaomo’s cooking was better, what else is there to say?"

"Losing and then trying to cheat, how shameless!"

"If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to eat at Shi Jiumei’s. I should have gone for Ye Fei’s skewers, missed out for nothing, sigh!"

An Haiyin immediately said, "Today’s live broadcast ends here. There were some incidents during this broadcast, and we hope for your understanding."

Gu Changfeng had already called security to escort Shi Jiumei off the stage.

At this point, even if Shi Jiumei was still dissatisfied, no audience was on her side, and they even pushed her to leave the stage together.

Shi Jiumei naturally couldn’t be dragged off by security.

When the security approached, she had already left the stage voluntarily.

But while walking, she kept glaring viciously at Ye Fei.

As if it was Ye Fei who got her eliminated.

The staff was guiding the audience to leave, and Ye Fei, to avoid suspicion, didn’t immediately greet the old lady but went backstage with the other contestants first.

***

Ye City.

Ye Ning was using the screen mirroring function to cast the live broadcast from the iPad’s video app onto the TV.

Xu Huizhen entered the room and saw it just in time.

Ever since they opened a high-end restaurant, they moved to a villa and hired a housekeeper, so Xu Huizhen didn’t have to do any chores.

Xu Huizhen just wandered around the restaurant every day.

In fact, she couldn’t really offer any constructive suggestions, and the restaurant wasn’t under her command; it was all managed by Ye Ning.

However, Xu Huizhen still enjoyed playing the role of the boss, receiving respect and flattery from the restaurant staff.

Every time she went for a stroll, without saying much, she was flattered a bit and was very happy.

"Ning Ning, what are you watching?" Xu Huizhen asked as she sat down.

"The culinary competition organized by the Changping Group," Ye Ning said, turning her head suddenly, "Mom, where did you just go?"

"Nowhere, just went to the restaurant to have a look," Xu Huizhen replied, reaching for a strawberry.

Ye Ning’s face immediately darkened, "Why do you keep going to the restaurant? You’re not helping at all when you go, don’t just go around giving misguided directions."

At first, Xu Huizhen wasn’t like she is now, just going to show her face.

Back then, Xu Huizhen felt that their family used to run a small restaurant; though it was small, it was still a restaurant, so she had experience.

Even if it was a high-end restaurant, how big could the difference be?

So Xu Huizhen believed herself to be the boss and went to the restaurant to meddle, messing up both the details and decisions.

After Ye Ning found out, she gave her a good talking-to, forbidding her from interfering in any restaurant matters.

Ye Ning’s anger made Xu Huizhen quite afraid, and she immediately promised not to interfere with the restaurant again.

But she couldn’t help it, and went to the restaurant every day, enjoying the joys of being the boss.
