22-Skipping Three Ranks - Part 1

Hearing what Ruan Tang said, Qi Zhuo's face showed ridicule. Right now, he hated Ruan Tang to his very bones and he retorted, "Oh! A jokester! You think a four star ranking is something you can get just because you want it?"

However, none of the people on the scene acknowledged him. Gu Le Ji furrowed his brows and looked at Ruan Tang, seeming to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.

Although he held Ruan Tang in high regard, when all was said and done, Ruan Tang was only venturing from his thatched hut for the first time. If subjected to too much, he might break. He was worried this impulsive action brought about by a momentary surge in spirit might have a negative affect on the development of this promising youngster. Gu Le Ji advised, "My boy, attaining the four-star rank is not as easy as you imagine. You'll need to cook with 20 ingredients and make as many as ten dishes. And even before that, you would need to pass the two-star and three-star rank first. I understand that you've suffered some grievance, however, the future is long. There's no need for you to cling onto this anger now."

"Please don't worry," Ruan Tang smiled. "Since I've dared to say it, then I can definitely do it."

Seeing his determined attitude, Gu Le Ji didn't try to dissuade him further. "Very well, it's not yet 12 o'clock. There's still time to do the two-star rank assessment." He made up his mind. Even if Ruan Tang fails the assessment, he was certain he could properly protect this youngster. He would pay close attention to him so that he wouldn't suffer any rumors or slander.

The Chefs' Association's assessment was very considerate. Towards capable chefs, they would do everything to make things convenient for them. Although the assessment was scheduled once every month, if a chef who had passed through the one-star rank assessment wanted to continue on to the next level, provided there is enough time, he could do so.

"But..." Qi Zhuo frowned at Qi Zhuo and the two others, "They have been stripped of their qualifications as examiners. I'm afraid that until substitute examiners can be found, you will have to wait until you can take the next exam."

"Marshal He, May I inconvenience you to escort Ruan Tang to the venue for the two-star rank assessment?" There were still a lot of candidates waiting for their assessment. President Gu absolutely couldn't leave like this. But because he was worried about Ruan Tang, he had no choice by to seek help from He Yun Chen.

In this way, Ruan Tang found out that the handsome man decked in military attire was a marshal of the empire.

Sensing Ruan Tang's eyes on him, He Yun Chen's body stiffened and his lips pursed, making him look even more cold and serious, "Of course."

After Gu Le Ji saw Ruan Tang leave with He Yun Chen, he turned back to Qi Zhuo and the others. "What are you all still doing here? Get going!"

Qi Zhuo's face went pale and the stared fiercely back. Blue veins burst across his forehead. He took a deep breath and reluctantly pushed down his rage. With his arms swinging angrily, he left with large strides. His two lackeys, with a bow to Gu Le Ji, also left with him.

"Qi...uh...President, where will we go now?" standing on the road outside the branch office, Guo Lin, feeling upset, looking towards Qi Zhuo.

"Where can we go?! Back to the headquarters!"

Guo Lin was dazed, "Huh? We'll go back...and do what?"

"Hmph, we'll go and watch the assessment! I'm going to see if that brat can actually pass the two-star assessment!" Qi Zhuo gnashed his teeth. In any case, he was currently suspended from his post, and the videos have yet to be officially uploaded. As long as that Ruan Tang doesn't pass the assessment, with his identity as a four-star chef, the Chefs' Association would never be able to simply replace him!"
