After finishing the strawberry tart, the girl seemed to have figured something out. She thanked her biology teacher again and made up her mind not to continue playing such a humble role. She had almost forgotten that before dating this basketball team captain, she was a lively, lovely, smart, and studious student who always ranked at the top of her class in every exam. She was even a good student whose math scores surpassed those of Class A several times, and who was specially gathered around the classroom by students from Class A.
The biology teacher had to teach a class after the students finished their self-study. Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei only ate dessert with the teacher before preparing to leave. The biology teacher knew that Jiang Jianian had been exceptionally admitted to the research institute. He patted Jiang Jianian on the shoulder and said with emotion, "You are truly one of the smartest students I have ever seen. I hope you will keep it up and continue to use your talents in the right places."
Jiang Jianian smiled and said, "I will."
Jiang Jianian shook hands with the biology teacher and said goodbye, while Ye Zhiwei also said goodbye to the biology teacher.
During the rest of the time, Ye Zhiwei also took Jiang Jianian to visit the other teachers from the senior year of high school. She also prepared some pastries and gift certificates from the cake shop. Knowing the school's rule against teachers accepting gifts, the gifts were mainly to express her feelings.
The biology teacher ran into Ye Zhiwei's former homeroom teacher after class in the afternoon and only then realized that she was the only person to receive handmade pastries from Jiang Jianian.
Although he had a rough idea of what Jiang Jianian meant, he was still very grateful to his student for seeing Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei get married. Now he couldn't help but wonder if he could ask Jiang Jianian to make more of these things when he sent them as wedding candy. They were even better than the desserts made by his chef friend. Was this talent?
His friend had been working as a pastry chef in a five-star hotel for several years.
After finishing work in the afternoon, the teacher brought home the pastries that Jiang Jianian had given her. Since the biology teacher had recently bought expensive Sweety-candy desserts, his wife was a little surprised to see her husband bring back a bunch of snacks again. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "Didn't you just say you were going to start cutting back on your spending when you bought Sweety-candy? I remember those pastries already cost you more than half a month's salary."
As she spoke, the wife looked at the things her husband had brought back. "Wow, seasonal strawberry tarts! I said I wanted some last time, but you didn't buy them for me, saying that seasonal strawberry tarts were limited. But this bag looks a little different from the one last time."
"I didn't buy them; the pastries were a gift from a former student."
"A former student? No way, your student studied cooking..."
The biology teacher was both amused and exasperated. "The things he did to woo a girl are like those things I told you about before, about that genius student in our class who gave up his guaranteed admission to university just to woo a girl. He decided to take the college entrance exam and became the top scorer."
"Oh, oh, oh, I remember, I remember. His college entrance exam scores were exceptionally high, many were close to full marks." His wife exclaimed in surprise, "He can do this too?"
The pastries had been kept fresh in the school refrigerator, but they still looked beautiful, and the strawberries were still very fresh. The red strawberries, the slightly golden tart crust, the snow-white and sweet cream, and even the nuts sprinkled on top looked delicious. My wife couldn't help but take one and eat it. She exclaimed in shock, "No way, it really was made by your student! It's even better than the Sweety Candy you bought!"
After finishing one, the wife couldn't resist eating a second one. Coincidentally, the pastry chef who had worked with the biology teacher knew that the biology teacher spent a lot of money buying Sweety-candy desserts, so he came to her door.
As soon as she entered, she complained, "Guanju, you're so unfair! As your friend, I've given you plenty of snacks and cakes, and you actually went and bought snacks from our competitor's hotel! The owner of that hotel, Yu Jingchen, is just trying to rip you off. What kind of cakes are so expensive, yet you all dare to buy them?"
As soon as the pastry chef arrived, he saw the strawberry tart on the table. "It looks pretty standard. This is Sweety-candy's pastry. I'll try it."
The pastry chef's expression changed immediately after taking a bite. "How did he make this strawberry cream tart? The texture is so good! The strawberries are so fresh, and the cream is so fragrant and sweet. It melts in your mouth without being too sweet. And how can this tart maintain such a crispy texture? Usually, you only get this texture right after it's made..."
The slap in the face came too quickly, a resounding blow. The pastry chef has been having a headache lately because of the new products.
Since Sweety-candy opened that dessert hotel, their desserts have been difficult to sell. Moreover, the idea for that dessert hotel wasn't originally Yu Jingchen's. The company's senior management had previously expressed interest in cooperating with Yu's Group. Yu's Group mainly focuses on resort hotels, while the company focuses more on gourmet food. Because many of the company's desserts are very popular, sometimes even a small piece of cake can sell for a very high price, and young girls especially love them, the senior management intended to change some strategies.
The dessert hotel was originally a collaboration between the two companies, but Yu Jingchen later fell out with the higher-ups over profit issues and started his own dessert-themed hotel project. He didn't hire any domestic pastry chefs, but instead poached them all from abroad. Because he seized the initiative, when people talked about desserts, they basically said they wanted to eat Sweety-candy. The brand was established, and even though the quality gradually declined, Sweety-candy became a must-visit destination in S City. On the contrary, the dessert hotel launched by the company later was accused of plagiarism by Sweety-candy's fans.
The pastry chef had worked in a five-star hotel for many years and invested most of his funds in a newly opened hotel, but he suffered repeated failures. He was now very frustrated and had no ideas for desserts. When he heard that a friend had bought Sweety-candy pastries, he came over to try them, but he was greatly disappointed after just one bite.
"Anything else? I'd like to try some more." This time, before her friend could speak, she started rummaging through the bag. There were even strawberries inside? No, not strawberries, but desserts.
The pastry chef put a strawberry in his mouth and was surprised to find that it tasted like ice cream. The flavor was also very unique, with a rich blend of strawberry and milk. The pastry chef exclaimed in surprise, "This strawberry feels like it's at room temperature, so why does it taste like it's chilled? It must have been taken out of the refrigerator. Is it filled with ice cream?"
"Although it was taken out of the refrigerator, it was just in the crisper drawer, not in the freezer. If it were ice cream, it would have melted by now." The biology teacher was also surprised. He picked up a strawberry and tasted it. "It really is ice cream. Won't it melt? Could this be what he said about changing the molecular structure to make something? This brat, he even used what he learned to do this. Could he have made all this to win over a girlfriend?"
"Wait, Guan Ju, isn't this Sweety-candy's pastry?" the pastry chef asked in surprise.
The biology teacher laughed and said, "No, Sweety-candy's food was all gone before, how could it wait for you to come? These were given to me by one of my students, he made them himself."
"Your student? It really is your student!" The pastry chef's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. "Guan Ju, quickly... introduce your student to me!"
