Sheng Nan is having a tiff with Chef Yu who feels she is being protected by the management and hence, can get away with being late. Zi Qian decides that the selection of a chief chef will be based on a competition. All the chefs will be asked to come up with a menu for the Chairwoman’s upcoming banquet.
