When Zhao Cheng'an was transitioning from a summer job to a full-time position at Zhiwei Restaurant, Tan Wei'an was still a little kid, practicing basic skills at home without formal culinary training. At that time, Tan Wei'an always thought he would be the next Zhao Cheng'an, that as soon as he got serious, his skills would amaze everyone at Zhiwei Restaurant.
Then reality slapped Tan Wei'an in the face, reminding him he was thinking too much. Although everyone had connections, and Tan Wei'an's connections were even stronger, some were born to be the main characters, while others were destined to be supporting roles.
This is also why Tan Wei'an could so calmly lie flat after meeting Qin Huai. Qin Huai was indeed more exceptional, but Tan Wei'an was used to it. He grew up in the shadow of talented people, and life is long; what if he encounters someone even more exceptional than Qin Huai in the future?
