The sudden turn of events caused Yang Ying, also a judge, to frown.
"I think disqualifying him is a bit too severe!"
She certainly didn't want to see Wu Xiaoshan be disqualified and immediately voiced her protest.
The other judges, whispering among themselves, clearly couldn't make up their minds either.
"Director Yang, look at this boy, dressed so ridiculously, and his entry is just a smashed cucumber dish—it clearly shows a lack of sincerity for the competition. Disqualifying him, I don't see any problem with that."
Yang Ying didn't give in an inch and immediately countered, "The competition did not specify a dress code, nor were there any restrictions on the dishes entered. I think this contestant's attire and entry are both unproblematic."
The debate between the two grew more intense, with many in the audience starting to heckle.
Zhuang Xiaoxiao, sitting in the center of the judges' panel, blinked her eyes and locked her gaze on Wu Xiaoshan.
