Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 430 - 262: "Jiang Yu" Means "Gourmet Food

Just when Professor Qin Zhiyuan quietly broke away from the group, he went alone to the first floor of the Seventh Dining Hall, got some food, and started eating and drinking heartily in the middle of a large group of students.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Taoyuan Conference Hall, Professor Qian and Professor Lu, who had been chatting all the way, finally realized that Professor Qin was missing!

"Eh? Where’s Lao Qin?"

"I don’t know, he was following me just now. I saw him hanging his head looking a bit unhappy, so I didn’t chat with him."

"Tsk! How can such a big person go missing just like that?"

"..."

The group of experts and professors exchanged puzzled glances, each finding it unbelievable.

Though the Jiang University campus is quite large, its pathways are not complicated. Unlike some universities with too many buildings and greenery leading to winding paths, it’s not easy to get lost.

Especially the route from the Jiang University Library to the Taoyuan Conference Hall—just a straight road with a turn, and after walking a few hundred meters, you’re there. How could he get lost on such a simple route?

Of course, since this is within the university, even if he got lost, there wouldn’t be any danger, so Professor Lu and the others didn’t panic when they found out Professor Qin was missing.

At this point, Professor Qian from Jinling University suddenly spoke up:

"It’s unlikely he got lost. I think the most likely reason is Lao Qin felt embarrassed about what happened in the report hall, so he went off on his own."

Another professor shook his head: "This Lao Qin, he’s just too thin-skinned, remembering such a small thing."

"..."

"As long as Professor Qin is still on campus, there shouldn’t be a problem. Besides, he couldn’t have gone far by now."

Deputy Dean Jiang Gaozhe listened to the professors discuss, and suddenly said,

"How about this, Professor Liang, Professor Lu, you go ahead inside. I’ll go find Professor Qin. He, uh, probably got lost."

Professor Liang and Professor Lu exchanged glances, nodded, and said,

"Alright, we’ll wait inside and start when you arrive."

With that, the group continued to escort Professor Hans directly into the Taoyuan Conference Hall.

Once they left, Jiang Gaozhe breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head. He had a good guess where Professor Qin had gone after sneaking off.

Earlier, in the report hall, when Professor Qin suddenly stood up and mentioned "having a meal," he followed it with, "should we eat on the second floor of the Seventh Dining Hall."

Probably no one else noticed this at the time, but Jiang Gaozhe heard it clearly.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that Professor Qin’s mind wasn’t on the afternoon report meeting at all, but was instead preoccupied with the meals Jiang Yu made on the second floor of the Seventh Dining Hall!

Even his subconscious thought was to eat on the second floor of the Seventh Dining Hall.

Since the school arranged for the experts and professors to dine at the Taoyuan Conference Hall, Professor Qin must have felt displeased. Added to the embarrassment he felt earlier, it was only natural for him to sneak off.

As to where he went, could it be any less obvious?

If he didn’t want to eat at the Taoyuan Conference Hall, he most likely went to the Seventh Dining Hall.

While he couldn’t eat on the second floor of the Seventh Dining Hall, the first floor was open to the public. Moreover, the student dining hall on the first floor not only has a wide variety of dishes, but several are made by Jiang Yu.

Although these are large-scale dishes, their taste surpasses that of the chefs at the Taoyuan Conference Hall.

Professor Qin isn’t foolish; he appreciates food better than the other experts and professors!

Thinking this, Jiang Gaozhe made his way quickly to the Seventh Dining Hall.

At this moment, the first floor of the Seventh Dining Hall was still bustling. The large dining area was filled with students, their faces beaming with smiles, chatting happily with friends while enjoying their delicious meals.

Occasionally, someone would exclaim:

"Wow! The garlic fish fillet in the dining hall today is amazing!"

"It really is good, the fillet is tender and smooth, no bones, spicy and tasty, garlicky goodness, I’d give it 10,086 likes!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"How could it not be? I heard it was specially taught by Senior Brother Jiang to Brother Xiao Wu, just to add more dishes for us!"

"Senior Brother Jiang, eternal god!"

"You newbies must be transfer students, right? Haven’t you learned? Which dish from the Seventh Dining Hall isn’t delicious?"

"Exactly! The first floor is like Senior Brother Jiang’s territory. Even if he didn’t make it, he oversees everything, making sure the food is excellent!"

"..."

As Jiang Gaozhe walked through the dining hall doors, he heard the students’ chatter. While searching for Professor Qin, he couldn’t help but feel impressed:

It’s said that Jiang Yu is a senior student in the School of Humanities, majoring in philosophy. He hasn’t even graduated but has already started such a large student dining hall.

Running a student dining hall is one thing, but the key is that his food is so good, making him beloved by such a large group of students.

Judging by the students’ discussions, one can tell how respected Jiang Yu is among them now.

More importantly, Jiang Yu has not only captured the students’ affections, but also pleased figures like Professor Hans and Vice Principal He.

While others might not know, as the Deputy Dean of Professor Hans’s department, Jiang Gaozhe knows well why Professor Hans decided to continue collaborating with the school and stay at Jiang University.
