The next three days.
Gan Yimu and his men dared not take any further action.
They could only do their best to maintain their second place.
After all, they knew from what happened with Zhang Weiguo and Ma Jiang that their limited intelligence was no match for the seasoned veterans at Kyoto University.
If this continues, it will be devoured until nothing is left.
Now, Zhang Weiguo and Ma Jiang alone have swindled a total of 1 million yuan from them.
The worst part is that not only can't we get the money back, but there's also nothing we can do about it.
We cannot call the police.
Other methods won't work either.
I can only accept my bad luck.
So for the next three days, the entire Kyoto Food Street Festival competition was very peaceful.
There haven't been any major changes since before; the daily rankings remain the same.
The only difference is that the gap between everyone and Lu Rong is widening.
at this time.
It was six o'clock in the afternoon of the last day.
The competition ended at 6 PM on the last day, which meant the Kyoto Food Festival was officially over.
Next up is the closing ceremony and awards ceremony.
Once the time was up, the organizers closed the venue, and then all the contestants came to the stage in the center of the square.
Lu Rong and the others took their seats according to number 88.
Whether it was Lu Rong, Xu Fei, Su Tingyun, or the group of school leaders, they all sat in their seats with great prestige.
Waiting to witness this historic moment.
The surrounding crowd was bustling with activity, and everyone was discussing it.
Some were happy, while others left disappointed.
Without exception, they were all watching Lu Rong and his group, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, the food festival organizers publish sales rankings daily.
So even without an award ceremony, everyone guessed who won the championship.
Without a doubt, it was Lu Rong and his group from booth number 88.
Although it was already evening, countless lights had already illuminated the square, making the entire venue bright white.
It's almost no different from daytime.
On the stage, the two old men, Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui, were already seated.
The fact that they were chatting and laughing together showed just how good their relationship was.
This also demonstrates that the Kyoto Food Festival was a complete success, and both of them expressed their satisfaction.
It is said that the number of visitors to this year's food festival has exceeded ten million, breaking last year's record.
Not only that, but the overall sales volume is almost double that of last year.
The influence of the Kyoto Food Festival has been further enhanced.
As the founder, Wu Zhengchuan was naturally beaming with joy.
Next, the closing ceremony and awards ceremony officially began.
Wu Zhengchuan is known for his simplicity and speed.
Therefore, the entire Kyoto Food Festival, including the opening and closing ceremonies, did not contain any overly cumbersome formalities.
Or some messy or disorganized steps.
They all got straight to the point right away.
So the host didn't exchange many pleasantries before starting the awards ceremony.
Wu Zhengchuan walked to the center of the stage with a smile, picked up the microphone, and began to announce the winners of this year's Kyoto Food Festival.
Because the awards are only given to the top three.
That is, the champion, the runner-up, and the third-place winner.
No one else received a prize.
All I can say is that I'll earn whatever I can during the competition.
On the stage, Wu Zhengchuan held a table card in his hand and said while looking at it, "Next, we will begin to award the third place in this Kyoto Food Festival competition."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Wu Zhengchuan's voice continued: "The winner of the third place in this Kyoto Food Festival is booth number 6: Yuan Hua."
"Stall No. 6 ranked third in this food festival with sales of [amount] yuan."
"Now, please welcome Yuan Hua, the representative of booth number 6, to come up and receive his award. Let's give him a round of applause."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause again.
Yuan Hua, who originally had booth number 6, was a strong contender for first place.
However, because he went back to play games in the middle of the day and only came occasionally in the following days, his sales figures could not catch up with the top two.
However, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; compared to others, taking third place is more than enough.
At this moment, all the audience members were eagerly waiting for Yuan Hua to go on stage to receive the award.
However, half a minute passed, and there was still no movement from the sidelines.
"???"
"??????"
Those present were somewhat confused.
Surprisingly, Yuan Hua was nowhere to be seen.
Does this mean Yuan Hua wasn't present?
How could I possibly miss such an important occasion?
"Please invite Yuan Hua from booth number 6 to come up on stage to receive your award." Seeing that no one came up, Wu Zhengchuan repeated the announcement.
They were afraid they hadn't noticed.
However, it remains the same.
This prompted the audience to start speculating.
"What's going on? They won third place but didn't go up to accept the award. Don't they want it?"
"I don't know. I heard that Yuan Hua is a problematic person. Although he is a good cook, he has a strange personality and is not easy for ordinary people to deal with."
"Or is he not too satisfied with this third place, so he refused to accept the award?"
“I heard he was very reluctant to come, but he would come sometimes. With his ability, getting third place is really nothing.”
"If I win third prize, I would want to fly to the stage immediately without any hesitation."
"What a waste! Such a great prize, and they didn't even bother to claim it."
