Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 893: Chapter 893: We Reserve the Right to Prosecute

"I respect and admire them for being able to adhere to the competition’s spirit and principles under such circumstances, and I disdain even more those who disregard fairness and justice."

"As a judge, one must live up to the fairness of the competition, to the audience present, to the competitors, and to the efforts of the staff working on the event. Instead of letting personal interests ruin it all and render so many people’s efforts futile."

"Months of hard work, all destroyed at this moment!" An Haiyin shouted loudly.

The dissatisfaction and resentment in the audience’s hearts were ignited by An Haiyin’s words.

"Yes! We all want a perfect ending!"

"Give us back our final!"

"Zhuang Ming Yan, apologize!"

"Zhuang Ming Yan, step down!"

Zhuang Ming Yan listened to An Haiyin’s words, her face clouded over.

She didn’t expect that An Haiyin, as a host, was supposed to moderate the scene and control the situation.

Instead, she was the first to openly express her dissatisfaction.

Although An Haiyin didn’t call out Zhuang Ming Yan by name, her words were no different from naming her!

The remarks stirred up the crowd’s emotions even more!

Now she listened to the rising waves of boos and calls for her removal from the stands.

Even Zhuang Ming Yan’s mental fortitude was beginning to crack.

Her hands were originally placed on the table, now her fingertips pressed tightly against the surface, slowly dragging across, clenching into fists.

She was on the verge of getting up and fleeing.

However, An Haiyin didn’t care about her at all.

Zhuang Ming Yan felt she couldn’t stay any longer?

Why doesn’t she think about Ye Fei, who was always given low scores maliciously on stage?

Why doesn’t she think about other competitors who feel their advancements aren’t honorable? freewebnovel.cσ๓

Why doesn’t she think about the staff who spent months working hard for this competition?

A decent competition, yet a rat spoils the final.

How can one not be furious!

All of this was caused by Zhuang Ming Yan!

Now she can’t sit still, she’s angry?

Where was her consideration earlier!

An Haiyin had also had enough.

At this moment, she said, "Next, let’s announce the results of the vegetarian dish."

This round, Zhuang Ming Yan did not disappoint the crowd, giving Ye Fei a score of 3.5.

While others scored around 7.

Tian Pengpo still achieved the highest score with 7.4.

Scoring for the dessert.

Zhuang Ming Yan gave Ye Fei a score of 3.2.

Scoring for the Chinese pastries.

Zhuang Ming Yan gave Ye Fei a score of 3.3.

With a perfect score of 10, 6 is considered passing.

For every round, Zhuang Ming Yan’s scores for Ye Fei never hit the passing mark.

If Ye Fei’s dishes were said to be unpalatable, deserving low scores.

The audience might accept it.

But when not even reaching a passing score, even Ye Fei’s critics feel it’s too far-fetched.

No matter what, with Ye Fei’s skill, she shouldn’t fail.

"This is really damned!"

"It’s disgusting!"

"Zhuang Ming Yan, you’re unworthy!"

"You took a good competition and turned it into this!"

"Get rid of Zhuang Ming Yan; don’t count her scores! We don’t blame the organizers!"

The audience expressed this sentiment.

But ultimately, the rankings were based on the total scores from all the judges.

On the big screen, Tian Pengpo won first place.

Ye Fei came in last place.

However, all the contestants, not just Ye Fei, from Tian Pengpo to Hua Ciyue, wore solemn expressions, devoid of joy.

"Now, the results are out," An Haiyin said, "The champion of this year’s Changping Cooking Contest is..."

"Wait a moment," Tian Pengpo interrupted An Haiyin before she could announce it.

Everyone turned to look at Tian Pengpo.

To facilitate communication between the contestants and the judges that the audience could hear.

The contestants had microphones clipped to their collars.

At this moment, without needing a microphone, Tian Pengpo’s voice was enough for everyone present and those watching online to hear.

Everyone turned to Tian Pengpo.

Tian Pengpo said, "I am unworthy of this championship."

"In this competition, everyone knows the scoring was done under extremely unfair conditions," Tian Pengpo said, "I refuse to win in such a dishonorable manner."

"If Ye Fei’s score were fair, I shouldn’t be second," Zhou Junhao said.

"I shouldn’t be third either," Yu Yingyan said.

"I shouldn’t be in this ranking," Huo Jiarong said, "We should all move back one position."

"If we exclude Zhuang Ming Yan’s scores, I should be second," Tian Pengpo said.

The audience didn’t expect Tian Pengpo to be so straightforward.

Facing his scores honestly and openly like this.

"Achieving first place this way is not what I want," Tian Pengpo said.

"But, these are the rules," a voice rang out.

It was Zhao Gushen’s voice.

Everyone turned their gaze.

To see Zhao Gushen stand up and walk onto the stage.

"As we’ve emphasized from the beginning, we won’t make the competition unfair because of anyone’s special identity or relationship," Zhao Gushen said.

"So while watching from off-stage, I knew Ye Fei was very wronged, knew this was unfair to her, but I didn’t stop the competition, nor did I nullify Zhuang Ming Yan’s scores."

"Because, these are the rules," Zhao Gushen said.

"The competition set the rules, and we must follow them and not let personal will alter them," Zhao Gushen said, "This isn’t our private competition, not one we can change the rules of at any time or at our whim."

"We promised, so we must fulfill, worthy of the audience’s trust," Zhao Gushen said.

"However, for Zhuang Ming Yan who disrupted the normal order of this final, disrupted the fairness of the competition, we reserve the right to pursue this," Zhao Gushen further stated. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Ms. Zhuang Ming Yan was sent as a representative by the International Cooking Competition’s organizers, assuming the role of a judge based on the premise of their authorization. We will truthfully feedback her performance in this competition to the International Cooking Competition and the International Chef Association."

"Changping needs an explanation from the organizers of the International Cooking Competition. This is the representative they sent, the sixth judge they insisted on including. Is it just to destroy our competition? Just to disrupt our challenge?"

"If Zhuang Ming Yan can represent the organizers of the International Cooking Competition here, then can I assume that the competition itself is no longer trustworthy, that the International Cooking Competition itself has lost its fairness and reliability, lost its authority!"

"A representative from the organizers, scoring arbitrarily, disregarding facts, only for unknown reasons, only for her unspeakable personal interests, manipulating the competitors’ scores and rankings at will."
