Chen Mu argued for his cooking skills: "I understand this, I have studied the essence of Huaiyang cuisine in depth.

"

Director Yang had a blank expression on his face, wondering if this weird kid of his had to be so competitive about this matter?

However, thinking that it was already time for dinner, I naturally changed the subject.

“Come on, I guess you haven’t had time to eat, so I’ll treat you to a meal in the cafeteria.

"

Chen Mu had no reason to refuse this invitation and agreed readily.

Since Xiao had been meeting with the factory director frequently, both of them had become accustomed to it.

As the afternoon approached, I remembered that there were still some photos of Xiao Yun in the camera that had not been developed.

So I took some time to go to a photography shop and had the pictures developed.

Tomorrow is when my supervisor will need it, so I must return it on time.

Since you have borrowed it, you have to return it. This is more convenient.

When he arrived, the supervisor had not yet left his post, and only the supervisor's partner was left at home.

So they handed over the camera together, thanked each other for the help, and left home on their bicycles.

After returning home, Xiao Yun showed the newly developed photos to his wife. Looking at herself in the photos, her cheeks turned red.

I couldn't help but recall the scene yesterday when I was wearing that cheongsam and interacting with Chen Mu.

I have to say, this outfit seems to elevate the temperament to a higher level.

At this moment, she realized that true charm is not just about fixed attire.

It depends more on one's inner world.

In the past, such clothing was never to be worn casually;

Now, under her perception, a unique beauty appears, which completely subverts the traditional thinking mode.

She thought that perhaps in the future, she would be able to adjust her ideas appropriately.

The weekend always seems to come uninvited:

Chen Mu washed up and started a new week.

After saying hello to Xiao Yun, Li Ming was about to go out.

On this day, he planned to attend a national banquet with the team, which would be a major challenge for him.

However, Li Ming did not tell his family about this opportunity, because before the results came out, sharing such a possibility would only make them have expectations, which would lead to possible disappointment in the end.

Xiao Yun was also very interested in this banquet, wondering what kind of sensation Chen Mu would create this time.

When Chen Mu arrived at the State Guesthouse, quite a few people had already gathered there.

What was even more surprising was that the interviewer he had met before also happened to appear in the crowd, which showed that the banquet was of extraordinary importance and the participants were most likely big names in the industry.

This thought made him feel a little stressed and excited.

He believes that valuable skills can be learned on such a stage - filtering out the dross and absorbing the essence - which is one of Chen Mu's life creeds.

The door of the hotel was not opened until exactly eight o'clock, and the staff checked the identities of the participants one by one.

Chen Mu almost fell asleep due to the slow wait.

After all inspections were completed, all invited guests were allowed to enter.

Afterwards, everyone gathered in a spacious hall, waiting for the host to release the outline.

First, the host explained the key points of the first-level screening rules: focusing on evaluating the basic skills and food processing capabilities of the participating chefs.

Chen Mu did not hesitate at all.

As a chef, he knew that this would not be a difficult task for him.

Therefore, he has firm confidence in this selection.

As expected, he made it to the finals, aware that success in each round meant elimination of others.

In this fierce competition, there were indeed many people who failed to make it through and were unable to get on the stage within just a few hours.

Even Chen Mu, who was accustomed to competition, couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he heard the news.

The losers left in a hurry, looking quite lonely.

This made everyone present feel extremely stressed, fearing that they would be the next person to be eliminated.

In contrast, Chen Ming remained calm.

He has not yet encountered a strong competitor, and his self-confidence and mental strength are very strong.

Then, the organizers sent a congratulatory message to the selected candidates and announced that the next round of the competition would begin soon.

This time is different from previous assessments, as contestants need to cook on the spot based on processed ingredients.

The finished product will be tasted and scored by judges.

The result was obvious, he successfully passed the level again.

The number of people eliminated this time is even greater than in the first screening.

The mood that was full of expectations at the beginning has now become gloomy and dejected.

Everyone was in low spirits; even Chen Ming, who was passionate about food, couldn't bear to see such a scene.

The real world is full of cruel competition. In an era of "survival of the fittest", those who are not better than others are destined to be excluded.

Surprisingly, however, everyone's eyes seemed to be directed towards him standing among them, with a look of scrutiny and confusion, and he did not understand at first why they reacted in this way.

As time went by and my understanding of my role deepened, the answer gradually surfaced...

When he realized that the atmosphere around him had subtly changed and that only one young man - himself - stood out in the crowd, a word full of historical sedimentation quickly emerged in the depths of his mind: a long way to go.

He couldn't ask others what topic they were focusing on in such occasions. He just maintained a slightly awkward but polite smile, trying to hide in the background in everyone's sight and pretending to be ignorant of everything around him.

But he knew that in this game, the psychological trick of "I am the only one who doesn't feel nervous and awkward, but I feel that others are uncomfortable because of embarrassment" can always make the atmosphere exceptionally relaxed and interesting.

Although this schedule has come to an end, the next event will have to wait until a week later on the weekend for the final stage of the competition.

The contestants left the stage one by one and returned to their daily lives. The first few experts in charge of judging had already spotted him in the crowd.

Naturally, their eyes fell on him, and then they greeted him with a brief greeting.

Chen Mu, who initially thought he would be ignored, did not expect that these seemingly familiar people would actually show him kind attention and greetings.

"Xiao Chen! I remember that I was right at that time. Your potential is indeed not to be underestimated.

It was a good decision to reserve this spot for you.

"

What they were talking about was the issue of steel plant selection, and Chen Mu raised his mouth slightly. Although he was full of admiration in his heart, he still showed a humble attitude: "Nothing, this is all the support of the leaders.

I am just an ordinary little tool.

"This sentence sounded ridiculous, and several people couldn't help but laugh at their own frivolity.

Of course, they know the hard work and dedication behind Chen Mu, and they are also well aware of the glory he has received.

The people present expressed their respect for this young man: "Xiao Chen! You seem to be too modest.

When you were on the news, it caused quite a stir!"

Even people who were once young would be impressed by the talent and perseverance of this young man.

Although they also have abundant energy and the ability to pursue goals in their youth.

What makes Chen Mu different is that he is able to balance multiple identities and responsibilities, jumping from the role of a cook to contributing to the medical profession.

His talent is truly rare and worthy of praise.

On the night when the competition ended, when Chen Mu arrived at his courtyard house, the sun was setting in the west and the sunset glowed.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard his wife's voice: "It seems that the old man's grandson Liu Guangqi is preparing an engagement banquet soon.

I think they are quite close when they are together.

"

He thought about it and was also surprised by this information.

The second uncle's child, Liu Guangqi, has indeed reached marriageable age and it is time for him to take on family responsibilities.

Recalling the plot of past episodes, when Second Uncle’s beloved Liu Guangqi finally entered the bridal chamber after the wedding, Second Uncle and his wife fell into extreme disappointment and distress.

The other two brothers of the Liu family also embarked on a life path full of twists and turns.

The thoughts at this moment made Chen Mu temporarily withdraw from the situation in front of him. It was not until then that he realized that his mother and younger sister were not at home.

"Where are mom and little sister?" he asked.

The answer was that he had not been out for any activities during this period.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the younger sister wanted to get more exposure to the outside world, so her mother took the initiative to invite her to go fishing together.

After hearing this, Chen Mu nodded as if he understood something. His mother also had many interests when she was young.

Since the birth of children, the focus has gradually shifted to caring for the family, and the opportunities to go out have naturally become fewer and fewer.

Now that he has some time to be alone, Chen Mu will not raise any objections.

He would also like to see his mother develop this leisure time into a new lifestyle.

However, he clearly remembered that Xiaohua was not a girl who loved fishing before.

She thinks sitting for long periods of time would be boring and difficult to sustain patience.

How come he suddenly went fishing with Chen's mother? This was really unexpected.

But I soon figured it out, and seeing the two children in front of me trying hard to learn to walk, I also began to help them seriously.

Not long after, when Chen Mu came back, he noticed that Liu Guangqi was humming a little tune while returning with a full load.

There was a long piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

It was clear at a glance that the proposal was probably a sure thing. Only his happiness to the point of humming a little tune could explain his change of mood.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Qi? I heard from others that you went on a blind date? I heard it went well?"

Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud and make a joke.

When Liu Guangqi heard what I said, he stopped and spit out the dogtail grass.

Looking back at me, after thinking about the scene that day, the smile on his face became even bigger than before.

"Hey, it's Brother Mu.

This time it should be okay, right?

After all, this is our first contact and there is still a lot of room for adjustment.

But I am confident that I have at least a 90% chance of success.
