Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Auditing Each Class One by One

"I thought the teachers would always adhere to the principle of a gentleman, being fair and just, and never showing favoritism, even towards their own students," Yu Yingyan said with a smile.

The meaning of Guo Wenbo and Ye Huasong’s words just now was that since Zhao Guoxian had such an ability.

He could most likely use this ability to taste and discern which dish was made by their own student.

Since he could discern this and the judges hinted as much.

It’s very possible that Zhao Guoxian, after discerning, would score in favor of his own team.

Everyone indeed did not expect that the usually particularly fair teachers would actually do something a bit underhanded like this.

"Do you really think we’re so rigid, not knowing how to adapt? So many national teams come to compete, each with their own goals and ultimately for interests; everyone pursues different interests, for fame or for fortune. If you really expect the other side to be as fair and just as yourself, then don’t even think about having a chance to reach the finals."

"If we were really so honest, that would be equal to giving away our position," Guo Wenbo said. "We don’t use means, but we can’t prevent others from using them. Since everyone uses them, we can’t possibly play the spotless routine. Why should we? It’s unfair to us, unfair to our contestants."

"Since everyone is looking for all kinds of off-competition methods to win, we can too," Guo Wenbo said with a serious face.

Seeing his serious face, upon hearing his words, everyone suddenly couldn’t take his seriousness seriously.

Saying in such a righteous manner that they should also use some tricks really looked extremely out of place.

However, thinking they also had ways over here, the teachers were all cunning, not to mention having someone crafty like Zhao Guoxian.

Everyone felt relieved.

Anyway, with Zhao Guoxian leading the team, the expedition team was certainly not going to suffer a loss.

After receiving the topic, they began to delve into it.

They were researching right there in the practice room.

Since they were all familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

So there was no consciousness of needing to outcompete each other.

Although they were teammates, if it were someone with just a so-so relationship, or simply not knowing each other at all, participating purely for personal benefit.

Things would not have been so harmonious.

After all, although they are on the same team, since only three can play tomorrow, it means there is competition for spots within the team.

If there’s competition within the team, it might not be so harmonious.

Everyone treated teammates as opponents, guarding against letting others know what they were up to, wishing for some secret weapon of their own to amaze everyone and surpass their teammates.

In that case, mutual discussion and effort towards collective progress isn’t possible.

But now it’s different; the team is made up of those who came through the Changping Competition together.

Besides Ye Fei, they are all formal students of Changping Academy.

Though there were always tests and competitions usually, those were for rankings, not affecting their feelings.

And Ye Fei also came through the Changping Competition with them, sharing a bond of comradeship.

Ye Fei was now an auditing student at Changping, fostering a certain classmate camaraderie.

It’s safe to say that the configuration of this Defending Team is truly remarkable.

Not to mention strength, everyone is at least united.

With this lineup, Guo Wenbo was more satisfied than even with the Challenging Team.

The Challenging Team, including those from other countries, though strong, lacked unity.

Without unity, strength becomes compromised.

This kind of team competition isn’t just about individual strength.

Guo Wenbo and Ye Huasong saw Ye Fei and the others discussing what ingredients to prepare for the soup.

Exchanging inspirations, once they decided, they started testing.

Tasting each other’s work, they offered their opinions and suggestions.

Seeing them like this, Guo Wenbo and Ye Huasong felt extremely gratified.

The two left the practice room, leaving the space to the contestants themselves.

On their way back to the office, Guo Wenbo said to Ye Huasong, "In my opinion, even if we sent them as the Challenging Team, they wouldn’t necessarily fare worse. Culinary skills can be continuously improved along the way."

"These kids have great potential, they learn quickly, can draw inferences, and connect related concepts. Giving them an opportunity to learn along the way, combined with teamwork, mutual research, and exchanging insights," Guo Wenbo said, "With such an atmosphere and attitude, how could progress not be swift?"

Being able to win at the Changping Competition with excellent performance, and gaining entrance to Changping, already affirms their strength and potential.

Give them time, especially Ye Fei and Tian Pengpo, who won’t be outdone by Mount Akina.

Ye Huasong laughed, "Don’t regret it, even if they’re not in the Challenging Team, they’re in the Defending Team. With them present, I think this year, those opponents will find it difficult to get their badges!"

Upon thinking about this, Guo Wenbo burst into laughter: "Indeed, hahaha!"

"In the previous years, although our Defending Team was strong, it was never as united as this year, altogether without personal agendas, all working together to support each other," Guo Wenbo sighed.

"In this type of team combat, they’ve never understood, unity is so much more important, even more than individual strength."

"Actually, haven’t you noticed?" Ye Huasong said, "It was all prompted by Ye Fei."

"Every time she first brings up a point, leading everyone to research together. With her leading, it naturally gets everyone to help each other out. Not to say the others are bad. If it weren’t for the other kids being straightforward and focused on the team’s overall results, Ye Fei wouldn’t be able to lead even if she tried," Ye Huasong said.

"But Ye Fei set a great example." Guo Wenbo nodded, indicating he had noticed too.

"I’ve actually been paying attention all along. The class she audibly attends now has an especially good atmosphere. Previously, everyone studied on their own, striving not only to surpass the top students in the class but also to push forward school-wide. There was no time to share insights with classmates," Ye Huasong said with a laugh.

"But after Ye Fei went there, leading mutual exchanges, at first only with one or two, but afterward finding it very effective, with mutual progress, the other students noticed and naturally let down their guard and all started researching together. The whole class atmosphere became particularly good."

"If you put it that way..." Guo Wenbo rubbed his chin, "Then we should spread her out among every class, auditing one by one."

"Hmm?" Ye Huasong looked at Guo Wenbo in surprise.
