Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 892: Chapter 892: My Personal Opinion Only

"No need for exact words, just convey the meaning and let An Haiyin organize the language herself," said Zhao Gushen.

Lu Chenghong nodded continuously.

In his heart, he thought that Zhao Gushen really is the CEO.

He came up with this strategy quickly, putting them on the moral high ground first.

Before Zhuang Mingyan realized it, they pinned her down.

By the time Zhuang Mingyan responds, saying anything would be too late.

Whatever could be said, should be said, was already spoken by Changping.

So, Lu Chenghong quickly went to inform An Haiyin.

After receiving the notice, An Haiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he knew in what direction to control the situation.

"Apologies, dear audience, today’s final took an unexpected turn for the organizers, the five judges, and myself as the host of today’s competition," An Haiyin said.

"Today’s competition was supposed to be spectacular, but an unforeseen issue arose in the judges’ scoring," An Haiyin said. "I’ve heard the audience’s protests too."

"Regarding this result, on behalf of myself alone, I feel very regretful," An Haiyin said. "However, the Changping Cooking Competition organizers have always adhered to one principle: never to interfere with the judges’ scoring."

"Moreover, the organizers believe that the judges invited to the competition can give fair and impartial scores," An Haiyin said.

"The situation now is something the organizers did not anticipate," An Haiyin said. "Even so, at this point, the organizers still decide to stick to the initial principle."

"Not to interfere with the judges’ scoring," An Haiyin said.

"Is this still non-interference?" an audience member said.

"It’s obvious Zhuang Mingyan is judging blindly!"

"But did you notice that aside from giving Ye Fei super low scores, the scores Zhuang Mingyan gave to other contestants were low, but still reached a balance. It’s generally two points lower than the other judges. If you add those two points, it’s about the same as the scores given by other judges."

"In this way, although the contestants got fewer points from her, the gaps between them aren’t big. Only Ye Fei got super low scores. I think maybe she wants to save some face. Otherwise, she might have given Ye Fei one point or even fractions of a point."

"Because the gap is so big, Ye Fei not only can’t catch up to Tian Pengpo, but the gap with the ninth place is also widening,"

"If the Changping Competition organizers continue to keep Zhuang Mingyan’s scores, it won’t affect other contestants. Only Ye Fei is affected."

"In this way, Ye Fei has practically lost her qualification to compete for the championship," that person analyzed, "But don’t forget, Ye Fei is Zhao Gushen’s wife."

"But now it’s obvious she’s being bullied by Zhuang Mingyan, yet the competition still chooses to respect the initial principle, not interfering with the judges’ scores," this person said, "This means Ye Fei is sure to lose this competition."

"Do you remember when Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen went public? What did they say? They clearly stated that they would not use their power to give any convenience to Ye Fei. Whatever happens, happens, all relying on strength and judges’ scores."

"Even in the case where Zhuang Mingyan clearly targets Ye Fei, Zhao Gushen hasn’t done anything to Zhuang Mingyan, insisting on the competition’s long-standing principles," this person looked somewhat admiring.

"This shows that Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen were serious when they told us this," that person said, "Even in this situation, Zhao Gushen doesn’t plan to use his power to fight for anything for Ye Fei."

"Just treat Ye Fei like an ordinary contestant," that person said, "You can think about it. If an ordinary person participated in the competition and this situation arose, would Changping intervene against Zhuang Mingyan?"

People around him thought for a moment and hesitantly shook their heads.

Because they know the relationship between Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen.

That’s why they’re confident Zhao Gushen will do something for Ye Fei.

But if it were an ordinary person, Changping’s current choice wouldn’t be surprising.

"So I think, outside the competition, Ye Fei is Zhao Gushen’s wife. But on the competition stage, she is just like any other contestant; that’s what Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei want to express. Even if wronged, as long as it’s in the competition, they won’t do anything, won’t make Ye Fei special."

"At first, many people didn’t believe what Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei said, just thought it sounded good, and wondered if there’s any false result, only the judges know."

"The judges gave high scores, but they argued that Ye Fei’s dish deserved that score. Even if it’s not delicious, we have no way of knowing," that person said, "Wasn’t there still someone holding this idea just recently?"

"But now, at least Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen proved to us that they meant what they said and didn’t seek favoritism," that person said, "And the real favoritism comes only from Zhuang Mingyan."

On stage, An Haiyin said, "The organizers of the Changping Competition will not manipulate contestants’ scores. Therefore, the scoring continues."

"However, we need to end this farce quickly. So, I won’t announce each score individually afterward; we’ll directly post the original score sheets filled by the judges on the big screen, calculating and updating in real-time."

"We also welcome the audience for supervision," An Haiyin said solemnly.

At this moment, there was no smile on her face anymore.

Even the professional smile of a host was gone; her expression was serious.

Clearly, she was very disappointed that the competition reached this extent.

The stage was no longer one where she could smile.

"Before the scores are public, I still have some words to say. But the following words only represent my personal opinion."

"Standing on this stage now, I am here as part of my professional ethics as a host. But beyond that, I can’t do it anymore. Even just a professional smile, my apologies to everyone, but I can’t do it." freewebnoveℓ.com

"This stage, due to obvious issues and the audience’s complaints of dissatisfaction, has lost its meaning. It has become laughable, yet not funny anymore."

"Of course, this matter is unrelated to the Changping Competition and the organizers. Just now, I received the ideas from Mr. Lu Chenghong of the organizers and Mr. Zhao Gushen, CEO of Changping Group. The competition continues according to the rules."

"Changping is the party that sets the rules but is also the one who respects and abides by the rules."
