I am indeed a culinary genius!

Compared to the bustling New Star Arts College,

Another school in Skysea City was a bit unhappy.

Blue Elephant Vocational Technical College.

This was also a private higher vocational college.

A wealthy local individual, seeing how Chase's family made a fortune from running a vocational college, decided to follow suit and establish their own college.

It started with a focus on culinary arts.

Back in the day, they invested heavily in advertising.

But unfortunately, the results were poor, and each year they could barely recruit a few students, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

Just when the principal was considering giving up,

New Star Arts College encountered trouble.

With the biggest competitor out of the picture, Blue Elephant took over the legacy of New Star Arts College and soared.

This year, upon learning that the son of New Star's owner planned to reopen the college,

The principal of Blue Elephant initially dismissed it.

Why struggle when it's already cooled down?

It would be a miracle to recruit students!

In his eyes, New Star Arts College was no real threat.

However, when the enrollment results were announced, the principal's face darkened.

The number of students in their culinary arts program had dropped by two hundred compared to previous years.

With a yearly tuition of twenty thousand dollars, that meant a loss of four hundred thousand dollars.

At first, the principal of Blue Elephant thought it was due to students no longer wanting to become chefs.

So fewer students enrolled.

But after the school year began and he learned the enrollment numbers for New Star Arts College,

The principal of Blue Elephant realized that the drop in their culinary program's enrollment was entirely due to New Star Arts College snatching them away.

This left him extremely displeased.

That was a loss of four hundred thousand dollars!

He was fully aware of the main reasons why New Star Arts College could attract students.

Various humanized measures were not exactly a secret.

He had also seen the military training videos from New Star.

But he had no intention of learning from them!

There was no other reason...

Chase's approach meant losing a lot of money.

Campus networks were a significant source of income.

The cafeteria was the same.

As for military training, just find a few senior students to act as officers, train the students, and let them sunbathe under the sun.

Why invite actual military personnel? Even have them fire guns, and hold special events?

Now teaching cooking.

And even inviting masters?

It's not surprising to invite foreigners; spending a little money to hire some foreigners who couldn't make it abroad to come and teach at a school is a common practice in the country.

In simple terms, it's like paying for mascots.

But the foreigners in the video really did look like skilled chefs, and their techniques were impressive.

This made the principal of Blue Elephant think Chase must be crazy.

To him, Chase was simply a prodigal.

How much money would he lose doing this?

And even if he lost money, it wasn't just that.

Teaching college students and hiring so many masters?

How much would that cost?

Their salaries alone would be in the millions each year!

With that much money, he could easily hire a few people from the streets.

Wouldn't that be better for himself?

Who cares how well the students learn? It's not his concern!

Anyway, he wasn't going to follow Chase's lead.

But recently, the school counselors reported that many students from the culinary arts program were inquiring if they could transfer to New Star Arts College.

They wanted to switch to New Star Arts College.

This made the principal of Blue Elephant grit his teeth...

Everyone treats students this way.

Only you at New Star Arts College are special?

Can't you just make money honestly? You have to compete, right?

Young people really don't know their place.

However, the principal of Blue Elephant didn't take Chase too seriously.

In his view, Chase's approach would barely cover a year's worth of operational costs.

He doubted whether the inheritance would last two years before being depleted!

The school would likely close down again.

It wasn't worth paying too much attention to.

He'd rather spend his time enjoying a bath and massage in the city...

...

It wasn't just the principal of Blue Elephant who thought this way.

Other higher-ups from private colleges shared the same view.

They all felt that the principal of New Star Arts College was somewhat idealistic.

Through the videos, they couldn't discern the specific level of expertise.

But it was clear that they had top-level chefs.

Their monthly salaries must be at least twenty thousand dollars.

Not to mention the foreigners.

With so many teachers, their annual salaries alone would likely be in the millions.

The tuition fees New Star Arts College collected were probably just enough to cover the salaries of these teachers.

Not to mention other expenses.

So they didn't feel any sense of crisis regarding New Star Arts College's unconventional approach.

And they had no intention of emulating New Star Arts College.

If starting a private college wasn't about making money, then what was the point?

Were they truly doing it to educate and nurture the next generation?

...

Meanwhile, Chase had no idea about the outside opinions about him.

Even if he did know, he wouldn't care.

You have no idea how powerful the system is.

As New Star Arts College got back on track,

The students officially began their culinary careers.

With top-notch teachers.

And the enhancement of the culinary talent.

These factors ensured that the students' culinary journey was smooth sailing.

The students had no idea how fortunate they were to have chosen New Star Arts College.

Time flew by.

Soon, the students' first practical cooking class arrived!

...

In the first week, the teachers only taught a basic introductory dish.

But making even a simple dish taste good wasn't easy.

For instance, the Lu cuisine class.

The dish taught in the first week was tomato scrambled eggs.

When they first heard this, the students voiced their disappointment.

Tomato scrambled eggs, it's the most ordinary home-cooked dish.

Anyone with hands can make it.

Is this something worth learning?

Many students who had cooked before even said they already knew how to make this dish.

They wanted to learn something more challenging.

But when the teacher personally prepared a plate of tomato scrambled eggs and served a taste to each student,

The students fell silent...

A dish they had eaten since childhood, with the same ingredients and seasonings,

Could taste so delicious in the teacher's hands?

It was utterly absurd.

This was just a plate of tomato scrambled eggs!

Through this simple dish, Chef Xavier effectively humbled all the students' arrogance.

During the teaching process, Chef Xavier did not hold back, generously sharing various techniques.

Top chef teaching, combined with the enhancement of culinary talent,

All these factors made the students learn at an incredible speed.

On Friday, during their first practical cooking class,

Although the students were a bit flustered on their first time cooking,

The final results were all quite satisfactory.

"This plate of tomato scrambled eggs made according to the teacher's instructions is indeed much better than what I made before!"

"After peeling the tomatoes, it's indeed easier to cook out the juice! The sauce is so tempting!"

"I must be a culinary genius; this plate of tomato scrambled eggs is even better than what my mom makes…"

"This plate of tomato scrambled eggs I made looks good; I just had a bit of a shake when adding the seasoning, so I put in a bit too much salt."

"…"

The students were all delighted with the results of their first practical cooking class.

Chef Gabriel also showed a smile.

These students had great talent.

They understood quickly.

Plus, with the tips he provided.

As long as they grasped them, even if there were a few mistakes, the taste wouldn't be too bad!

Seeing the students' excited expressions,

Chef Gabriel felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, under the principal's wise leadership,

They changed the teaching plan.

If they had continued with their original plan,

The students definitely wouldn't have had such enthusiasm for culinary arts...
