Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: Don’t Shatter Their Mentality

These people are clearly taking advantage of their unfamiliarity with the place, not having adapted yet.

Using them to elevate Changping Academy’s students, to elevate Changping Academy.

The few, led by Wu Qingling, are all thinking this in their hearts.

That’s right, Zhao Guoxian admits, he did it on purpose.

Who told some people to look down on Changping’s people?

Do they think Changping’s students, being young and easy to bully, lack real skills?

Although only Wu Qingling stepped forward, several others had expressions flashing with either disdain, contempt, or agreement.

Zhao Guoxian didn’t miss a single one of them.

Then he would show these people the true skills of Changping’s students, thoroughly winning their admiration and respect.

Moreover, Zhao Guoxian didn’t engage in any unfair practices.

Everyone knows the rules are the same.

Zhao Guoxian didn’t secretly tell Changping’s students any of this in advance.

They are entirely relying on their own experience for the competition.

Don’t the off-campus participants look down on Changping’s students?

Thinking they are young, that aside from culinary skills, at least their experience isn’t as rich as the off-campus participants.

But what they don’t know is that the competition within Changping is far more brutal than at their workplaces.

In terms of experience, Changping’s students not only aren’t lacking, but might even surpass them by a lot.

It’s not about work experience but experience in competitions like this.

Now they are participating in a competition, not working.

So the mindset must be reset properly.

When the competition starts, there must be someone with rich experience in competitions to take the lead.

Changping’s students have rich competition experience, but off-campus participants dismiss them, deep down unconvinced.

When disputes arise in the team, it’s not just about differences of opinion.

Never mind winning, that team might not even be able to proceed with the competition.

So now, it’s crucial to win over this group of people first.

Ye Huasong, looking gentle, addressed in a soft yet unyielding tone: "If you feel unconvinced and unfair in your heart, you might as well change your strategy quickly. If you think you can finish within an hour, then hurry up and focus on cooking."

"If your originally planned dishes can’t be completed within an hour, then hurry and adjust your strategy, either by simplifying the steps or directly changing the dishes," Ye Huasong said.

After being reminded by Ye Huasong, they snapped back to their senses and quickly lowered their heads to handle their work.

"This just shows the lack of competition experience and poor adaptability," Guo Wenbo commented in a normal volume, making sure everyone heard.

"I know, some of you think that Changping’s participants are just students who lack social experience, and that being chefs for over a decade should surely outweigh those who’ve only studied a few years?" Zhao Guoxian started, "But don’t forget, this is about competing, not working in some restaurant."

"The competitions you’re about to face don’t require your social experience. While your culinary experience will be useful, experience is a double-edged sword, which can certainly be an asset, but also makes you overly reliant and lacking in adaptability and creativity."

"At Changping, when we teach cooking, we never let students stick to a fixed recipe. We seek creativity, adaptability, not merely relying on experience to deem what’s right or wrong. Not simply following a set recipe and thinking that’s the only way," Zhao Guoxian said.

"Changping’s students, like you, know nothing about today’s competition. They didn’t even expect a competition today. They learned about the time and rules at the same time as you did."

"The only advantage they have over you is being more familiar with the adjacent ingredients room. Other than that, they start from the same point as you. And who among you noticed even this advantage?"

"Earlier, when fetching ingredients, not a single Changping student rushed forward. They waited until after you entered to choose. They voluntarily gave you the time first, erasing even this one advantage, to compete fairly with you."

"So there’s no need for the unconvinced feelings." Zhao Guoxian continued, "Of course, you might still feel unconvinced, disbelieving what I said."

"But," Zhao Guoxian smiled a bit, "believe it or not."

He possesses this confidence.

He doesn’t need to prove it to them, because his word stands.

If they truly remain unconvinced, kick them out and choose others instead.

If you want to participate in the competition, you need to go through Changping.

It’s such a thrill to have a monopoly.

No one should feel unconvinced, given that Changping put in a lot of effort and paid a price to achieve this level of monopoly.

If there’s no return for this, then why even bother?

"If you keep doubting your teammates and can’t cooperate, I won’t replace our Changping people, but I will have to replace you." Zhao Guoxian stated.

Seeing Wu Qingling’s face showing signs of discontent first.

Without concealing, Zhao Guoxian remarked: "No need to feel unconvinced; after all, it’s Changping who calls the shots here, right? Annoyed? Well, you’ll have to put up with it."

Ye Fei: "..."

Has Zhao Guoxian always been this annoying?

Since Ye Fei joined Changping to study, he hasn’t taken Zhao Guoxian’s class.

Never knew Zhao Guoxian could be so... arrogant.

"Feeling it’s unfair for Changping to have the final say, huh? Well, who asked other places not to measure up and fall short? Neither holding a place in the international market nor having a voice," Zhao Guoxian said, "In the international market, the voice and market share were all earned by Changping through real skills."

"Battling head-to-head with foreigners, it’s all about money and strength, and we’ve had a tough time too. So the voice of authority now is something we’ve fought hard for. Without us, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications or channels to participate. So just accept it."

"And don’t act arrogantly on Changping’s turf, looking down on our students while relying on our slots," Zhao Guoxian continued, "Put it this way, if we didn’t want to, you wouldn’t even get the opportunity to participate. We could allocate all slots just to Changping students."

Ye Fei: "..."

How long have you been holding this in?

Finally couldn’t hold it back and said it all at once, huh!

"Ahem!" Guo Wenbo softly reminded, "Don’t wreck their mindset, they’re in a competition, after all."

It’s not easy for these competitors either.

Changping’s students are long used to Zhao Guoxian’s arrogant chattiness.

Usually not easily arrogant, but once he starts, he can’t stop.
