[BL] The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

27-Attaining a Higher Level

The result of the vote has already come out, and the assessment for the four-star chef was over. Although the audience still wanted it to continue, they had no choice but to leave the live room.

President Gu stood up from the judges' table and walked over with a smile. "Ruan Tang, congratulations on becoming a four-star chef."

Ruan Tang thanked him and listened to as he said, "To have such achievements at such a young age, it could be said that your future prospects are limitless. My brother... Qi Zhuo, has done very bad things to you, I will take this opportunity to apologize to you."

As he said this, he bowed slightly. Ruan Tang quickly evaded and at the same time, he reached out a hand to hold his shoulder. He said helplessly, "President Gu, his mistake has nothing to do with you."

"Qi Zhuo's behavior this time was extremely detestable. After the evidence is verified, the association will remove him from office. Is this acceptable to you?" President Gu saw him slightly nod, and then continued. "There's one more thing......"

Ruan Tang: "What?"

"Ruan Tang, I sincerely invite you to join the Chefs' Association to take over Qi Zhuo's post as vice president. You are currently the most suitable candidate. Maybe the Chefs' Association still has a lot of problems, but there is no doubt that the Chefs' Association needs you. And you can get more and better treatment here. If you want to continue to do the live broadcast, we can guarantee that no one would interfere with you." President Gu looked at him with eyes burning. He was obviously very concerned about Ruan Tang's reply.

But even so, he gently shook his head.

"I am really sorry. I prefer life without being bound, but I would be very happy to help if there is anything the Chefs' Association needs in the future."

"Seems like there's no way." Seeing his resolute attitude, President Gu had no choice but to give up and turned to another topic. "You have made a lot of innovative dishes since you started the live broadcast, but you weren't part of the association at the time. You hadn't been registered and we hadn't contacted you. Now that you have a chef's certificate, we can settle the bonus into your account."

According to the rules of the Chefs' Association, as long as a new cooking method was developed, a huge bonus could be obtained. If the main ingredient was newly released by the Academy of Sciences, additional bonuses were rewarded. Every year, the government sent a large amount of money to the Chefs' Association to encourage them to develop and restore natural foods. Since his first live broadcast, all the dishes he came out with were innovative dishes. Among them, many used newly released ingredients. The accumulated reward money was quite considerable.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Tang shook his head. "These dishes weren't my personal creations. It is not for me to take this money."

"You didn't create them?" He had not expected this answer and President Gu had to ask, "Who's was the original?"

Having said that, President Gu still felt that it was unbelievable. If there is such a chef or even a group of chefs, how come he had never even heard a rumor about them?

Ruan Tang shook his head again. "I can't find them anymore." He was hesitating whether he wanted to fabricate some mysterious cookbook from some legendary hermit or some such excuse when President Gu gave his final decision, "Even so, this money is yours. Whether or not it's an original but since no one has done it before, you can also count as a restorer, and the bonus will be calculated according to the specifications for restored dishes."

President Gu thought that regardless if the dishes weren't his original creations, if Ruan Tang had not been around to restore them, who knows how long they would have had to fumble around, taking who knows how many unnecessary detours. Thinking about it this way, President Gu could hand over this reward money with a clear conscience. As for the origins of the mysterious cookbook, since Ruan Tang was unwilling to say, he, of course, wouldn't ask too much.
