Lu Rong really didn't expect that just a second ago they were going to give him an award, and the next second they were arguing.
At this rate, when will I be able to claim this prize?
There's really nothing we can do about these two big shots.
He wanted to go back and get some rest, and maybe have a bit of fun.
This is too difficult. Everyone else received their awards and came down in less than two minutes, but he stood in the middle of the stage, watching two big shots hurling insults at each other.
This position is truly awkward.
The audience below couldn't help but laugh.
But it's a rare sight.
The reporters and photographers, in particular, were constantly recording with their cameras, afraid of missing anything.
"I'm dying of laughter. I never expected that these two, who usually look so serious and upright, would be so talkative when it comes to fighting over a disciple, completely disregarding their image."
"The blame lies with Lu Rong for being too outstanding, which inspired them to take on apprentices, thus creating this situation."
"Haha, you're right, it's a little embarrassing to think about."
"It was supposed to be an award, but it turned into a fight between the two of them. Lu Rong is really something else."
"It seems that Lu Rong is indeed extraordinary, as he has managed to attract the attention of two big shots at the same time."
"Old Wu and Old Li have such good taste; the people they choose are definitely not bad."
...........
Everyone was discussing it, each offering their own opinion.
Even the people at booth number 88 said they couldn't understand it.
Xu Fei broke out in a cold sweat, completely at a loss for words in the face of this sudden situation: "Senior Lu Rong, who should we agree to?"
"I'm curious who Senior Lu Rong will choose. It seems like both of them are big shots. I'm so conflicted." Su Tingyun covered her rosy cheeks with her hands, pondering the question.
Tang Dahai clenched his fists and shouted with joy at the sight: "As expected, the students of Peking University are different. They have attracted the attention of the big shots as soon as they arrive. Now the influence of Peking University has reached a new level."
While eating the spicy and sour chicken feet he had brought back from stall number 88 today, Zhang Weiguo looked at them with relish and said, "These chicken feet are so delicious. I can eat as many as I want without getting tired of them. No wonder these two big shots value Lu Rong so much. If it were me, I would have snatched them too."
After he finished speaking, he looked to the side and found that the seat where Ma Jiang had been sitting was now empty.
Logically speaking, Ma Jiang shouldn't have left first at such an important moment.
"Hey, where did Deputy Ma go?" he asked, puzzled.
Tang Dahai responded, "I just heard him say that the trophy is pretty good and looks nice. Then I heard him say that his stomach was upset and he went to the toilet. He should be back in a little while."
Zhang Weiguo nodded, indicating that he understood.
He now has 500,000 yen in pocket money and has led his team to win the Kyoto Food Festival championship.
He achieved both fame and fortune.
I was in a great mood and couldn't be bothered with this nemesis anymore.
Anyway, he knew very well that Ma Jiang's disappearance at this time could not be a good thing.
Of course, it's unknown who will be unlucky.
It certainly won't be him.
No one knows how long this scene on stage will last.
Lu Rong felt that things couldn't continue like this.
The two bigwigs in front of them were arguing over who should present them with the award.
He scratched his head and said with a smile, "How about I take the prize myself?"
Upon hearing Lu Rong's words, the two bigwigs finally stopped talking about the national treasures.
Wu Zhengchuan smiled at Lu Rong: "Haha, Lu Rong, please don't laugh at us, we're just appreciating your talent."
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the two hostesses carrying the prize money and trophy to come over.
Seeing that there was no way to continue like this, the two big shots stopped their current conflict.
The award ceremony for Lu Rong has begun.
Seeing that their chance had finally come, the hostess standing at the back quickly stepped forward.
They were both clever; one handed the trophy to Wu Zhengchuan, and the other handed the 1 million yuan prize to Li Shangui.
The two were overjoyed to see that they both had something to give to Lu Rong.
"Alright, now I will present the trophy to Lu Rong, the winner of this Kyoto Food Festival."
After Wu Zhengchuan finished speaking, he took the trophy and handed it to Lu Rong.
As soon as Lu Ronggang accepted the trophy, Li Shangui handed over a large envelope with a prize of 1 million yuan written on it.
Of course, this 1 million wasn't actually in cash, but rather a check.
You can exchange it at the bank when the time comes.
Lu Rong held the trophy in his right hand and the check in his left, overjoyed.
Seven or eight photographers, carrying video cameras, crouched down and quickly approached Lu Rong and his group to take pictures of them.
The two big shots also cleverly approached Lu Rong with smiling faces.
He seemed to be very familiar with Lu Rong.
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Seeing that Lu Rong Award had also been awarded, the two bigwigs prepared to bring the topic back once again.
After all, that's the important thing for them.
Wu Zhengchuan coughed and said embarrassedly, "Hey, Lu Rong, which one of us would you like to choose?"
After saying that, Li Shangui added, "As long as you become my disciple, I will be the first to stand up for you if you encounter any difficulties in the future."
At this moment, not only the two bigwigs beside him, but everyone in the entire venue was watching intently.
Everyone wants to know who Lu Rong will choose.
One side is a nationally renowned gourmet chef, one of the top chefs in the country.
The other party is a nationally renowned food connoisseur who can tell the quality of food and how to improve it with just one bite.
