Chapter 288 Challenge the God of Cookery
Lu Ran raised his wrist again and again to look at his watch. There were less than 10 minutes left. If he continued to wait, it would definitely be too late.

She had just arrived here and was completely unfamiliar with it, so she asked Ji Zebei, "How far is the competition venue from here?"

Ji Zebei looked very calm, "It's quite far."

"Then what should we do? Can we catch up if we run?"

"Hang."

"You... why are you not in a hurry?"

Ji Zebei glanced at her lightly, still calm and indifferent, "It's useless to be anxious."

"..."

Lu Ran felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She couldn't be as calm as Ji Zebei. When she opened the car door, she glanced at the long traffic queue in front of her and said decisively to Ji Zebei, "Pay."

Ji Zebei immediately took out his wallet, paid the driver, and got out of the car.

Lu Ran couldn't help but grab his hand and drag him along in the traffic.

After running for a block, she raised her wrist and glanced at her watch. The race would officially start in 15 minutes, and it was really too late.

At this moment, Ji Zebei pulled her back.

The man's breathing was not as panting and rapid as hers, and he gestured to the right side of the T-shaped road, "Go over there."

Lu Ran took a few breaths, and was about to drag Ji Zebei to continue running when he suddenly saw a man on a motorcycle parked by the side of the road. The man got out of the car and took off his helmet. He was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in punk. It's pretty cool.

Without thinking, she stepped forward, grabbed the helmet from the man's hand, and said to Ji Zebei who was following behind, "Pay."

Ji Zebei: ...

The man Balabala said a lot, but she couldn't understand it. It wasn't until Ji Zebei explained the situation to the man that the man became less agitated.

He gave Ji Zebei a business card, gave Ji Zebei the keys to the motorcycle, and then entered a coffee shop on the side of the road.

Lu Ran was surprised, "What did he say?"

"He lent us the car."

"so good?"

"Can you ride a motorcycle?"

Lu Ran curled his lips into a grinning smile, "There is no car in this world that I don't know how to drive."

She snatched the key from Ji Zebei's hand and signaled Ji Zebei to get in the car.

Ji Zebei looked skeptical, "Are you sure you can?"

"It's running out of time, are you going to get in the car or not?"

"superior."

There was only one helmet, and Lu Ran had to wear a helmet when he was driving a motorcycle. Ji Zebei could only squint his eyes all the way, with his arms tightly around Lu Ran's waist, letting the strong wind blow his carefully groomed hair to and fro.

In order to let Ji Zebei catch up with the race, Lu Ran ignored the speed limit and went on a rampage all the way. Soon, a traffic policeman on a motorcycle chased after him.

Lu Ran's English is poor, but she can understand the traffic police ordering her to stop.

But she can't stop this car.

Ji Zebei showed her the way all the way, and it was getting closer and closer to the competition venue. In order to get rid of the clingy traffic policeman, Lu Ranfa stepped up hard and threw the traffic police far away.

The food competition was held in a towering building. When Lu Ran stopped the motorcycle, he immediately raised his wrist to look at his watch. There were still 5 minutes left.

She wanted to go in with Ji Zebei, but the siren of the police car followed, and she could already see the traffic police who had just chased them coming.

She quickly adjusted Ji Zebei's hairstyle, and pushed Ji Zebei towards the main entrance of the building, "Go, don't miss the game."

"then you……"

"I'll be right there."

Ji Zebei hesitated.

Lu Ran was in a hurry, "Go in quickly, I will come right away, I promise."

Time was running out, and Ji Zebei finally stepped into the building quickly.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, took off his helmet and waited for the traffic police to chase him over.

She didn't intend to evade responsibility for the traffic violation. It was indeed her who violated the regulations first.

It's just that the language barrier made it difficult for her to explain to the traffic police why she was speeding just now, and ignored the traffic police's warning and drove all the way.

After communicating for nearly half an hour, there was still no result.

The traffic police wanted to see her passport. She could recognize the word passport, but her passport was not with her, but in the hotel room.

Unable to produce her passport, the traffic police contacted a police car patrolling nearby and took her away.

She did not have any identification documents on her body, and her English was poor. She was locked in an interrogation room alone. After an hour, a policeman brought a young man in a suit and leather shoes. The man had an Asian face.

Seeing his compatriot Lu Ran, he was a little excited, and hurriedly explained to the man in the suit why he was speeding and that his passport was in the hotel room.

The man in the suit is not very fluent in Chinese, but he can understand her words.

After another hour, she finally managed to walk out of the police station, holding a speeding ticket in her hand.

She didn't know where she was, so she had to take a taxi to the place where Ji Zebei was competing, but when she arrived, the competition had already reached the final stage - the battle between Ji Zebei and Xiao Lan.

Lu Ran found her seat according to the seat number displayed on the ticket, and Xu Jiajia was next to her.

Seeing her, Xu Jiajia was a little angry, "You still know to come?"

"I had an accident on the way and I was late."

"The game is almost over."

Lu Ran remained silent.

Xu Jiajia sighed, and said, "Ye Zhian lost again."

"What's the situation now?"

"Five contestants competed in cooking skills, and Ji Zebei won. He will challenge Xiao Lan, but now it's the final stage of selection."

Lu Ran's heart was clenched tightly, and he fixed his eyes on Ji Zebei and Xiao Lan, who were facing each other in the center of the stage. Both of them were wearing white uniforms and chef hats.

Ji Zebei has a handsome figure and an outstanding temperament. Although Xiao Lan is a lot shorter than Ji Zebei, wider and fatter, and his temperament is not as good as Ji Zebei's, he does not lose a bit in terms of momentum.

There are dozens of food critics invited to this food competition. In addition to three well-known heads of food associations as judges, there are also 35 food critics who will participate in the decision-making. The winner casts a vote, and finally the three judges determine the winner based on the votes of 35 food critics and the opinions of the three of them.

The 35 critics had tasted the food, and instead of whispering to each other, they wrote down a name on the paper in front of them very seriously.

Finally, the host sent the slips of paper on which 35 people wrote their names to the hands of the three judges.

The three judges all turned off their microphones, talking and discussing in low voices.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense.

Lu Ran found that there were a lot of people who came to watch the food competition, and the seats were almost full.

During the few minutes of the final selection, everyone present held their breath.

Lu Ran stared fixedly at Ji Zebei, the man's expression was calm, without any trace of nervousness.

She thought he must be pretending to be calm.

He really wanted to win over Xiao Lan, and wanted to prove his strength in front of Xiao Lan and everyone in country M.
