"Haha... So good, so good! This is the best nourishing soup I've ever had. After a sip, I feel warm all over, and happiness fills my entire body."
The dean burst into laughter, feeling incredibly happy in body and mind.
It was as if his body had undergone a sublimation, making him feel as though his vision had brightened.
Most importantly, it reminded him of his original intention as a chef: to find the most delicious food.
Food should not only be tasty but also healthy and well-balanced.
This was the ultimate destination for food.
"Wow! This taste is exceptional," the vice dean sighed, looking down. It reminded him of his wife. They had gone through thick and thin together, starting from a pig's trotters noodle stall and now earning millions, all thanks to the blessings of food.
They cherished food as if it were their own children. Everyone had a different technique for creating delicacies, and the cooking times and skills varied, but there was always something that could become an unforgettable presence in the culinary world.
This bowl of nourishing soup before him filled him with immense emotion.
After the six judges finished tasting, they awarded it a perfect score of ten.
Jiang Nuan had already anticipated the outcome.
There were sixteen judges present, each with a different emotion on their face. She had added purple roses, a special purple rose medicinal ingredient. In fact, it wasn't called a purple rose; in her traditional Chinese medicine field, it was called "Zi Po," and only she knew how to use it.
After the remaining ten judges finished tasting, some shed tears, some reminisced about the past, and some sighed about how beautiful life truly was.
A bowl of soup had evoked the myriad aspects of life.
What appeared to be an ordinary delicacy on the outside could bring happiness to those who worked hard with their body and soul. This was true deliciousness.
"Ten points! Oh my goodness, all the judges have given a perfect score of ten. This is an absolute miracle in the culinary world," the host exclaimed excitedly.
"Today's winner is Ms. Jiang Nuan! Yay! Let's give Ms. Jiang Nuan a round of applause!" The host looked at Jiang Nuan with great excitement, a lock of her hair sticking up like a little tuft.
"Clap, clap..." Enthusiastic applause erupted.
Xiao Ruiming: "..."
He looked at Jiang Nuan in surprise. How was this possible?
Mu Jiuchen glanced at He Mingrun, "Isn't our Nuan Nuan particularly amazing?"
He Mingrun glanced back, "She's not yours yet. Don't speak so soon, alright?"
Mu Jiuchen's expression soured, "Can we still have a pleasant conversation?"
He Mingrun sat up slightly, exuding an elegant aura. Several girls in the audience had already noticed the two of them and were looking at them shyly.
He Mingrun said, "Chasing girls requires strategy, but my strategy is different from yours."
As soon as He Mingrun finished speaking, Xiao Ruiming exclaimed in disbelief, "I don't believe it, I want to taste it."
[Damn, this Jiang Nuan is really something, she took down Xiao Ruiming.]
[The key is that this guy doesn't believe he'll lose! Look at how crazy he is, so pathetic.]
[This is very in line with his way of thinking. In his world, no one can surpass him. Suddenly being surpassed, he definitely can't accept this fact.]
[Look, he's drinking it.]
[I want to drink it too.]
[I've already booked a nourishing soup for two weeks from now.]
After Xiao Ruiming drank it, he felt incredibly comfortable all over. The soup was fragrant and the ingredients were plentiful, but it didn't have that heavy flavor; it was refreshing and not greasy. After the first sip, he couldn't stop.
Xiao Ruiming refused to believe it. He rinsed his mouth with plain water and then quickly took another sip. It tasted even better than the first sip.
This was unscientific!
Xiao Ruiming looked at Jiang Nuan in astonishment.
Jiang Nuan still stood calmly in her original spot.
When Xiao Ruiming looked at her, she also glanced at him faintly.
"Oh my god, how is this possible?" Ye Xiang was stunned.
The other two were also shocked. How could Jiang Nuan possibly win?
Jiang Nuan, who once couldn't even afford to eat, had actually won?!
"Ye Xiang, what should we do? The ten million is gone. I was counting on your ten million to get me out of a jam. I'm short twenty thousand on my credit card this month," Xiao Yan said nervously, looking at Ye Xiang.
Ye Xiang felt like dying. How could she have been so foolish as to sign such a bet?
She silently turned to look at Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen was also looking at her. "Apologize to Jiang Nuan."
Ye Xiang angrily retorted, "Why should I apologize to her?"
Mu Jiuchen's gaze was cold and his demeanor imposing. Ye Xiang involuntarily lowered her head, suddenly feeling that this man was terrifying.
"I'll only give you one chance. Whether you apologize or not is up to you."
After Mu Jiuchen finished speaking, he signaled the arriving bodyguards to enter.
His woman would not allow others to insult her like this.
Ye Xiang was furious. She didn't want to apologize to Jiang Nuan. What was Jiang Nuan? An unwanted bastard. Did she deserve her apology?
"Hmph! I will never apologize to Jiang Nuan. What kind of person is Jiang Nuan? A slut who specializes in seducing men. Why should I apologize to Jiang Nuan?" Ye Xiang said this very loudly, precisely as the sounds of everyone else died down. Ye Xiang's venomous tone seemed abrupt.
All eyes turned to her.
Ye Xiang's expression suddenly turned ugly. At this moment, she wished she could burrow into a hole.
Jiang Nuan looked at Ye Xiang coldly, thinking her crooked nose and slanted eyes looked familiar.
Oh, right. Weren't these the trio from the middle school "Old Age Group"?
That boy was so handsome that they would pester him daily, handing him love letters, and his grades were never above twenty or thirty points.
"Ye Xiang, say what you just said again."
Jiang Nuan's clear and cold voice was extremely penetrating as she slowly walked down from the stage.
Ye Xiang looked at Jiang Nuan approaching and angrily said, "Jiang Nuan, am I wrong? You're so beautiful, you're just here to seduce men."
Meng Yuan couldn't help but get angry upon hearing this, "You crooked nose, just admit you're jealous of Jiang Nuan's beauty. If she were here to seduce men, she wouldn't have won first place."
"Are you stupid?"
Meng Yuan knew without a doubt that this was Jiang Nuan's classmate.
"Shut up, what's wrong with my nose?" Ye Xiang hated it the most when people mentioned her crooked nose. Da Feng Novel Network
"Oh, my goodness, you look so familiar to me," Meng Yuan recalled a previous assignment.
Wasn't this some man's mistress?
And didn't she fight with another woman over that scumbag?
"Apologize," Jiang Nuan's voice suddenly rang out, neither too loud nor too soft, but commanding respect.
"Jiang Nuan, you unwanted bastard, why should I apologize to you? Someone like you should just die of your own accord, why are you even alive in this world?" Ye Xiang's vicious words spewed out uncontrollably.
Seeing the situation, the dean immediately had the live broadcast shut off.
He also had the other people present dispersed.
[Damn, the crucial moment is gone.]
[Juewei Tianxia, you really don't know how to do things right. At least we should have seen that woman apologize to Jiang Nuan.]
Only Jiang Nuan, Meng Yuan, Mu Jiuchen, He Mingrun, and Ye Xiang's group of three remained at Juewei Tianxia. Jiang Nuan walked rapidly towards Ye Xiang.
