Director Cao, on the other hand, was a bit confused. Why did they start eating again? The mystery guest hadn't even come out yet, and they'd already finished everything before he even appeared. Wasn't that a bit inappropriate? Well… he quickly coughed a few times and said, "Everyone, stop."

Everyone quickly turned to look.

"What I want to say is that we also have a special guest joining us," Director Cao sighed. "Now, please welcome our special guest."

Everyone had no choice but to put down their chopsticks and look in the direction Director Cao was pointing.

Soon, a tall woman walked over slowly, holding up a mask to cover her face.

Le Yao frowned slightly as she watched the person approaching, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Just then, the woman walked up to Director Cao.

"Come on, can anyone guess who this is?" Director Cao asked, keeping everyone in suspense.

Actually, no one was really in the mood to guess. With so much delicious food in front of them, wouldn't it be better to just have a bite? But they couldn't refuse the director's request, so everyone just guessed two names randomly, and they were wrong.

"Alright, why don't you introduce yourself? After all... everyone's hungry." Director Cao sighed helplessly.

Everyone laughed.

"I'm so sad. Am I really that unrecognizable?" A woman's sweet voice came from behind her. She then took off her mask and looked at everyone with a helpless expression. "Teacher Jiang, we just collaborated on an advertisement."

Jiang Xiaoxing shrugged: "It's my fault, so punish me by making me eat an extra piece of meat and gain two pounds." As she spoke, she picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. "Hmm, this punishment is perfect."

This made everyone call him shameless.

"Why do you have to be so shameless when you're eating?" Jiang Xiaoxing had no sense of being an idol at all. "If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking, isn't there? Come on, it'll get cold if you don't eat now."

"Anna, sit down and eat quickly," Bai Su urged. "Otherwise, it'll be gone in a bit. After all, Le Yao's cooking skills are absolutely top-notch."

Whether it was a coincidence or not, Anna was seated next to Le Yao.

"Hello." Anna nodded to Le Yao in greeting.

"Hello." Le Yao nodded in response, but she was incredibly puzzled. She had seen her blessing video at the Nangong Group's anniversary celebration before, but she hadn't thought much of it at the time. Later, she had seen her walk the runway on TV and seen her photoshoots in magazines. However, for some reason, she always felt something was off.

But when they were actually face to face, the sense of unease she felt became even stronger.

However, since they were strangers, even if she disliked them, she wouldn't cause trouble, provided that the other party didn't pick a fight with her.

Next, it's time to eat.

"It's so delicious!" Anna took a sip of the tomato and egg soup, her eyes lighting up immediately. "I've had it many times, but none of them taste as good as this. Le Yao, right? How did you do it?"

"It's just my intention." Le Yao smiled.

Anna gave her a thumbs up.

"I'm glad you like it." Le Yao smiled, took a bite of a flaky pastry, and was somewhat disappointed. Flaky pastries require low-gluten flour for the flaky crust and medium-gluten flour for the water dough, but this only had ordinary flour, which is medium-gluten flour, so the taste was affected.

However, everyone thought it was very good.
