Everyone perked up and looked at the man who spoke.

Soon, the fish was served and placed in front of Jiao Hang and the others.

When Yu Peng saw this fish, he looked at Li Xiaoran, who was sitting at the side.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Don’t look at me. Since it’s a method you came up with, help me check! I believe you!”

With Li Xiaoran’s assurance, Yu Peng and the others knew what to do.

The three of them took out the chopsticks they had prepared in advance and each picked up a piece of grilled fish to eat.

To be honest, with Ye Shengnan’s example, the three of them already knew how the grilled fish should taste.

The fish roasted by the man in front of them could only be said to be average.

It was edible and tasty, but very ordinary.

After the three of them ate, they looked at each other. In the end, all three of them decided to postpone the decision.

Therefore, the man was brought to the resting area at the side to rest while waiting for the final outcome.

After that, several people served their grilled fish one after another.

Yu Peng and the other two also decided to postpone the decision.

A thin young man finished roasting a carp.

Because he was the youngest, he got the knife in the end and carefully washed the carp.

After processing it, the thin young man mashed the onions, ginger, and garlic and marinated the fish with them.

Therefore, a while after the others were done, his grilled fish was just finished being roasted.

Fortunately, he was not the last person to finish grilling the fish. At this moment, he sent his plate of fish up confidently.

Li Xiaoran said, “Wait! Let me try it first!”

Everyone’s gaze landed on Li Xiaoran, and the thin young man was also stunned.

When Jiao Hang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he quickly brought over a new pair of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to her.

After Li Xiaoran took the chopsticks, she picked up a piece of the fish and ate it.

The fresh and tender fish flesh in her mouth had no fishy taste at all.

After that, Li Xiaoran picked up another piece and tasted the thickest part of the flesh under the fish’s back.

After eating it in two bites, Li Xiaoran carefully took out the fish bones and smiled.

“Congratulations, you’ve been accepted! When we’re done here, let’s talk about your salary somewhere else, okay?”

When the thin young man heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his eyes lit up.

The thin young man knew that Li Xiaoran was the one who called the shots. After all, the three of them had to listen to her.

“Thank you, Madam. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do my job well!” The thin young man knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran said to the young man in front of her with a smile, “Alright, there’s no need to bow. Go get a stool to sit beside me and wait!”

The young man nodded and moved a small stool before sitting down not far behind Li Xiaoran.

This made many people envious.

It made those waiting for the results even more apprehensive.

At this moment, the remaining people were all done roasting.

This time, Li Xiaoran did not stop them.

However, the last person placed the grilled fish in front of Li Xiaoran.

“Madam, please try it!”

Li Xiaoran looked up and stared at the young man in front of her.

When the young man heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his face became filled with panic.

He did not expect this young woman, who looked very amiable, to hit the nail on the head.

Just as he was about to say something, Jiao Hang pulled him away.

Jiao Hang quickly admitted their mistake, “I’m sorry, Madam. We were negligent!”

Li Xiaoran waved her hand and said indifferently, “It’s fine. Continue!”

Just like that, the indignant young man was brought to the other side by Jiao Hang.

After the three of them tasted the young man’s grilled fish, they felt that it was not bad.

After tasting a few mouthfuls, the three of them looked at each other without knowing what to say.

Seeing this, the young man immediately said proudly, “How is it? My grilled fish isn’t bad, right?! You can’t go against your conscience and say that my grilled fish isn’t tasty! If you say that, I’ll share the grilled fish with the crowd and let them judge!”

When Yu Peng heard the man’s words, he immediately frowned and looked at the young man with scrutiny.

To be honest, just based on what the man had just said, they would not hire such a person.

Yu Peng thought about it more comprehensively.

The person in front of them made good grilled fish, but he gave off a very bad impression. If such a person opposed them, things would be troublesome.

Li Liming was the most straightforward person. When he heard the young man’s threatening words, he became even angrier.

“What do you mean? Why? Can’t we make our own decisions when we’re hiring?”

When the young man heard this, he raised his chin and said loudly, “Since you’re hiring the people best at grilling fish, you can’t lie and say the fish I roasted isn’t tasty, or else how can everyone believe you? The fish I roasted is delicious, but you don’t dare to tell the truth. Who dares to work for such a boss? Who knows if they’ll deduct our salary with the excuse that the grilled fish we roasted doesn’t taste good?”

As soon as he said this, not only did the onlookers think that his words made sense, but even the people who had roasted the fish just now began to hesitate.

When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she immediately smiled. “No matter how delicious the fish you roast is, I won’t hire you!”

As soon as he said this, the crowd was in an uproar.

No one expected her to say such arrogant words under such circumstances.

“It seems that you didn’t have good intentions to begin with!” The young man clenched his fists and stared at Li Xiaoran angrily.

As if she did not see the man’s anger, Li Xiaoran stood up.

“No, no, no. I think you’ve misunderstood! The fish you roasted is indeed delicious, but the grilled fish you made is delicious not because of your good skills, but because you tampered with the grilled fish!”

With that, Li Xiaoran arrived at the oven the man had just used and quickly placed the remaining juice on the plate into a porcelain bottle.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the young man’s expression changed drastically and he immediately tried to snatch the porcelain bottle..
