Episode 34 recap: Wang Tingzhi accompanied Bai Yujue home, making Huang Yilin jealous.

Wang Qianqian has officially confirmed that Huang Yilin is her stepmother and reminded Wang Tingzhi to treat Huang Yilin well. She also asked if Wang Tingzhi had feelings for Bai Yujue since Huang Yilin saw them chatting happily and became visibly upset. Wang Tingzhi explained that his relationship with Bai Yujue was not based on romantic feelings but rather gratitude, as Bai Yujue had been there for him during a difficult time in his childhood.

After winning the competition and becoming the new head chef at the hotel, Wang Tingzhi was celebrated with a dinner organized by Luo Hao. The restaurant chosen for the meal was selected by Bai Yujue and specialized in Japanese cuisine. The restaurant had a great ambiance and exquisite presentation.

Wang Tingzhi, considering his perspective as a chef, believed that due to limited resources in island countries, the emphasis was placed on presentation. In contrast, China had abundant ingredients and focused on nutrition. As living standards improved, Chinese cuisine also became more refined in presentation.

While Luo Hao was away on a business trip, the hotel was under the management of Luo Hao. Bai Yujue, being part of the hotel, took the initiative to offer a tasting for everyone. Luo Hao was coincidentally researching dishes suitable for mainland tourists, and Wang Tingzhi was responsible for that area. Hence, Bai Yujue was recommended to collaborate with Wang Tingzhi.

Luo Hao expressed gratitude for Bai Yujue's cooperation, but to Wang Tingzhi's embarrassment, Bai Yujue directly stated that there was no need for thanks considering her relationship with Wang Tingzhi. This left Wang Tingzhi at a loss for words. Bai Yujue then pretended to have a headache from drinking too much and asked Wang Tingzhi to take her home. Later, she deliberately called Huang Yilin, asking her to come and pick her up, which immediately made Huang Yilin jealous.
