Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1106: Chapter 1106: Auditing Student

"Then you can just go as an auditor, and no one can say anything," Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei was just an auditing student, even though she didn’t enter Changping through exams, she never intended to use a Changping certificate to elevate her status.

Simply auditing classes, who could say anything about that?

Of course, with so many people at Changping, Zhao Gushen couldn’t stop all the gossip.

With a large school, you get all sorts of people.

There will inevitably be people who find it bothersome.

These things are unpredictable.

However, anyway, Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei did not violate any Changping regulations upon entering.

They both followed the rules and complied with Changping’s system.

Moreover, all along, Changping has allowed auditors.

Such as exchange students.

Changping primarily engages in student exchanges with three other major culinary institutes internationally.

Each year there are a certain number of slots for mutual study and exchange with the three schools.

In addition, there are those who can truly afford the extraordinarily high auditing fees.

If Changping considers the fees high, then they must be substantial.

These people come to Changping with money in hand.

The teachers teach Changping’s students as usual, adding a few more makes no difference.

It can even increase Changping’s income, improve teacher welfare, and enhance campus facilities.

So, auditors at Changping are considered fools by most regular students.

If you can’t get into Changping by merit, you can only enter by funding sponsorship and paying several times the tuition in auditing fees.

If you can’t get in, it implies a lack of skill.

Even if you come to learn, you won’t keep up with the other students.

While donating piles of money to the school.

The outcome might still be uncertain.

Isn’t that just being a fool?

A culinary skill requires talent, not just hard work.

Diligence indeed compensates for ineptitude, but at most, you’ll reach an upper-middle level; most will be content to stay at an average level, which is satisfactory.

Today’s famous chefs, besides being diligent and working harder than others, have another crucial factor—talent.

Like Ye Fei, possessing an absolute taste sense, something even Lowell wouldn’t have, is an extraordinarily rare talent indeed.

Calling it a once-in-a-century occurrence isn’t an exaggeration.

Such rare talent aside.

Ye Fei while cooking, assumes a certain taste.

About what ingredients to add and what flavors mixing together would create.

She generally knows.

She envisions an assumed scenario in her mind.

What ingredients to pair, seasoning mix, taste quality, automatically forming a taste assumption in her mind.

That’s also a kind of talent.

The knife skills of chefs demand discipline and precision.

Therefore, if one truly can’t get into Changping, it indicates the lack of skill, even entering, would likely mean falling behind.

Only a select few possess the talent to keep up while also being diligent; that’s in a million.

If true, they should have been able to enter Changping through exams already.

Many rely on their talent and refuse to put in effort.

If they didn’t work hard before, would they start just because they’re auditing at Changping?

However, they’re here to donate money, improving their learning conditions.

Ensuring the best learning environment isn’t just good, it’s enhancing.

But Ye Fei’s situation is different.

She has talent, and is even more diligent.

It’s not because her scores weren’t good she didn’t enter Changping, she never took the exams.

Her performance in the Changping Competition is known to all.

Hence, if anyone attempts gossiping about Ye Fei, it wouldn’t hold water.

"So when do you plan to go?" Zhao Gushen asked.

Ye Fei can go anytime, as she wishes.

Changping’s doors are open; she can enter at her will.

"The competition is next month, with over half a month left. I’ll go on Monday," Ye Fei said, "Learning at Changping for half a month is still learning; I can also familiarize myself with the competition environment."

The domestic selection’s main venue is within Changping Academy.

The domestic audition process has already begun.

The final selection competition will be held in Changping.

Otherwise, given the vast number of audition participants, it’s unnecessary to start off so earnestly at Changping.

Ye Fei, being in the top ten of the Changping Competition.

Though she hasn’t secured an automatic entry slot, she has earned a direct place in the finals, bypassing further preliminary contests.

Starting from the top 50 in the domestic qualification rounds, it will be held at Changping Academy.

The 50-to-30 competition will happen simultaneously on multiple stages to save time and increase efficiency.

Followed by the 30-to-20, and 20-to-10 contests.

Arranged flexibly, the competitions may happen concurrently.

It won’t be a single-game affair like during the Changping Competition.

The Changping Competition had live broadcasts.

The contest had to ensure viewing experience, thus single-game rounds.

But now, the domestic qualifiers aren’t live-streamed; at most post-competition recordings might be batch-released on the Changping website.

To ensure efficiency, competitions will proceed concurrently.

This is just to select the top ten through auditions.

Moreover, the top ten of the Changping Competition are exempt from this stage.

Tian Pengpo won and automatically secured an entry slot.

The remaining nine directly advance to the finals.

Competing alongside 10 contestants selected from auditions.

This is roughly the system Zhao Gushen discussed with Ye Fei.

The actual competition format will be revealed in due time.

Going early will at least acclimate one to Changping’s pace.

With a finals spot, Ye Fei can have less pressure.

She can also watch others compete.

Watching as an audience member feels entirely different than competing on stage.

Ye Fei is eager to enjoy this ease.

"Alright." Zhao Gushen nodded.

Ye Fei only audited Changping courses for a brief time.

Ye Fei might not know much about Changping, but Zhao Gushen felt Ye Fei perhaps wouldn’t stay long.

Because Ye Fei doesn’t need to learn much more.

What she truly needs now is to exchange insights with some top chefs.

They’ll mutually share experiences, and engage in culinary challenges.

If she continues learning, there might not be much more to gain.

Ye Fei aims to enter Changping Academy, likely for these exchanges.

Students at Changping are highly skilled, especially the top-tier ones.

As Zhao Gushen said, Tian Pengpo’s abilities could place him in Changping’s top ten, but not first.

According to Zhao Gushen, estimates suggest Tian Pengpo is likely in the latter half of the top ten.

Even if not tenth, he’d possibly rank eighth or ninth.

Regardless of his position, it indicates there are those better than Tian Pengpo above him.
