Perhaps it was because of the Unique Flavored Peppery Fish Soup made by the Red Maple Leaf Grand Restaurant.
The judges gave surprisingly low scores to the next few contestants.
Those contestants were already disheartened, evidently having lost confidence in the competition.
"Next, please welcome contestant number thirteen to the stage."
Soon, it was Wu Xiaoshan's turn.
Yang Zishan was at the side, smiling and cheering him on.
"Xiaoshan, relax, we've already won this time anyway."
Wu Xiaoshan nodded, walking onto the stage with an easygoing expression.
"Is this a contestant? He's not even as clean as the hotel's janitors!"
"Could there be some trickery in this competition? The standards for contestants seem too low."
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Wu Xiaoshan slowly made his way to his station.
Even the judges started discussing, finding Wu Xiaoshan's attire peculiarly odd.
"Please, contestant, wear professional chef attire before continuing with the competition."
