"Ah!"
Prompted by Chen Zao, Cai'er suddenly realized she had made a big mistake!
Just now, Chen Zao's guitar playing was so captivating and her words so touching that Cai'er had immersed herself completely. After Chen Zao officially started singing, she actually forgot to press the start button on the scoring machine!
This was a rookie mistake she had never made before!
"What are you 'ah'-ing about? Don't just stand there; you didn't give me a score!"
Chen Zao frowned, and several thoughts rushed through her mind. Ren Ling also looked at Cai'er with a frown, thinking that Cai'er wouldn't make such a basic mistake, would she?
In fact, she was quite curious about how many points Chen Zao would score for this round of singing.
But she saw Cai'er's usually sharp gaze turn into one of deep regret and self-blame as she said to Ren Ling, "I'm sorry, sis. This chef... sang so beautifully that I forgot to press the scoring button."
"I can't believe this!"
Chen Zao exploded: "Is this a scam? Only those who sing poorly get scored while those who sing well don't? You guys are just trying to cheat money!"
Hu Rengui, Shilian Zhi, and others felt displeased by Chen Zao's remark about their singing being trash, but they couldn't refute the chef who had just delivered an astonishing performance.
In front of Chen Zao's romantic singing and playing, their performances really did seem quite poor, making them reluctant to continue embarrassing themselves.
Without Chen Zao, they could have battled it out evenly among themselves, and it would have been quite lively.
But now that there was a god-like opponent completely overwhelming them, they felt too embarrassed to show their faces in front of Ren Ling.
Ren Ling felt awkward being scolded by Chen Zao.
She stood up from the rattan chair and made a downward motion with her hand towards Cai'er, signaling her not to feel too guilty.
When she looked at Chen Zao again, she was no longer gazing up at him but was now at a similar height, staring directly into his eyes with a hint of anger.
This chef actually deceived her for money?
That's right!
She had used some special methods to gather research funds.
But this was all for the safety and future of Luohan Slope!
Borrowing some gold from these wealthy young masters, in the end, she would produce research results that could protect Luohan Slope. Wouldn't they be the ones benefiting from it?
How could this be considered deception?
Ren Ling couldn't get entangled with Chen Zao on this issue and could only offer him a fair assessment.
She said, "Although the machine didn't give a score, we all heard your singing. Chef Chen, you don't need to worry; you sang well, and the War Strategist Office will certainly not treat you unfairly. Let me estimate a score for your performance; it should be quite close to what the machine would have given. I designed the machine, so I know the scoring criteria best."
"Alright, go ahead."
Chen Zao was curious to see what score this graceful and tall beauty would give him.
The young masters and servants were also eagerly anticipating Ren Ling's score, wondering if it would reach a historic high.
At least to them, Chen Zao's singing had reached its peak, leaving them in awe.
After glancing down thoughtfully for a moment, when Ren Ling raised her eyes again, she had already made up her mind.
She spoke slowly, "Before giving a score, I need to ask a question."
"What question?"
"Is this song from the ancient piece 'Golden Age' of 'A Century Ago', or is it your own creation? If it's your own work, I would give you a higher score."
As soon as Ren Ling said this, the young masters began to speculate.
Shilian Zhi, feeling the most jealous, insisted, "This must be an ancient song from 'A Century Ago'! How could a mere cook possibly write a song?"
Hu Rengui added, "What he is singing must be an ancient piece! Third Sister, our Song Gathering's principle is to sing original works! Singing an ancient song doesn't count; don't give him high scores!"
Yu Wei chimed in, "Hu the Young Master is the real songwriting expert; this cook is definitely singing an ancient song. Third Sister, you've read so much; you must have seen this song in books."
Chen Zao found it amusing and wondered if the intelligence of these Apocalyptic People had been eaten away by Toxic Vapor. If Ren Ling had seen this song before, why would she ask him about it?
However, Chen Zao remained cautious and did not answer rashly.
He had heard from Ren Xiao that Ren Ling had read many books and not only made achievements in scientific research but also enjoyed studying history. What if she had indeed read music materials from 'A Century Ago'?
Fearing that Ren Ling might be setting a trap for him, Chen Zao countered her question: "Have you heard this song before? Have you seen its sheet music?"
Ren Ling replied generously, "No, this is the first time I've heard it from Chef Chen."
"Then that's settled!"
Ren Ling waited for Chen Zao to continue, but he seemed to have already given her a definitive answer.
Seeing Chen Zao's teasing, Shilian Zhi angrily asked, "What do you mean 'that's settled'? Is this song really written by you?"
"I wrote it myself; do you dare to refute me?" Chen Zao looked down at Shilian Zhi. "If you have the ability, write a song as outstanding as this one!"
Shilian Zhi felt pressured by Chen Zao and was at a loss for words. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to confront Chen Zao again because it felt like self-humiliation.
Chen Zao informed everyone, "This is a song I composed for Seventh Sister."
Hearing Chen Zao's words, everyone speculated that this song seemed to truly be his work, a song he wrote for Ren Xiao.
Various envious and jealous glances turned towards the seemingly bullied Ren Xiao.
At that moment, a smile blossomed on Ren Xiao's face.
She was an incredibly innocent girl, with her emotions clearly written on her face.
With both hands clasped in front of her chest, she admired and praised Chen Zao, "Chef Chen, thank you for the song you gave me! I've never heard such a beautiful song! I really didn't expect that you sing better than my Third Sister! How are you so amazing!"
"Hehe, that question really stumps me. I don't know why I'm so amazing; maybe it's just... how I was born," Chen Zao said with a smile, feeling the positive energy and joyful aura radiating from Ren Xiao.
This chef was so full of himself that everyone in the room showed expressions of disdain mixed with envy and jealousy.
Ren Ling let out a gentle sigh and glanced at Ren Xiao, thinking how silly and sweet she was, always acting like a child and daring to say anything.
However, she wasn't entirely unreasonable; the songs this chef sang were not necessarily better than hers, but at least they were on a similar level.
Chen Zao turned around and urged Ren Ling, "Are you afraid of losing gold and not daring to give a score?"
"You don't need to provoke me; even if you do, you won't take my gold. The song you sang can only get a score of sixty-four from me. Don't get too proud. The scores I usually get from this machine are mostly in the sixties as well. To be fair, your singing and mine are about on the same level, so sixty-four is the most reasonable score."
