Chapter 900: Chapter 900: We’re Their Daddy
"You let Zhuang Mingyan in just as a favor to the International Cooking Competition organizers. But do we need to give them face? Do you think Changping is under threat and needs to fear them? Do we need to show them face?"
"Changping has continually expanded overseas, gaining more influence, not for you to bow to them! It’s so you can stand tall and remain independent."
"But now? You let the whole nation think even Changping needs to show face to the organizers of the International Cooking Competition. They believe our Hua Country’s culinary industry lacks international standing."
"But who are the organizers of the International Cooking Competition? Isn’t each competition reliant on our investments and sponsorships from Changping? Remember, we are the ones paying; we are their financiers!"
"It’s not us who follow their lead; it’s them who should follow ours," Zhao Gushen said.
"You can’t even analyze this situation; you indeed have significant responsibility," Zhao Gushen said.
Ye Fei’s heart remained steady.
She knew Zhao Gushen had his reasons.
He wouldn’t joke about business affairs.
Lu Chenghong lowered his head especially low after being reprimanded by Zhao Gushen.
His vision was indeed lacking. freewebnøvel.com
Initially, he just worried that Zhao Gushen would blame him because of Ye Fei.
But now he realized he was completely wrong.
He indeed deserved punishment!
This decision made Changping very passive.
Zhao Gushen took a deep breath and said, "Send me a list of all the people involved in decision-making this time, including who agreed with letting Zhuang Mingyan participate and who opposed it. Also, send a copy of the meeting records."
"Yes." Lu Chenghong agreed immediately without any dispute.
"You may leave now," Zhao Gushen said, "There is still some finishing work you need to continue."
"Yes." Lu Chenghong nodded.
"I won’t change your positions regarding this matter, as for specific penalties, wait for the notification. So, regarding position changes, rest assured. Go back and tell the other executives to keep their minds steady. Put your focus entirely on work."
"You messed up the finals; if you mess up the aftermath, then you won’t be occupying these positions anymore. Even if there’s a major personnel change, creating some disruptions, I’ll replace you all. Understand?" Zhao Gushen said sternly.
"Understood." Lu Chenghong knew what Zhao Gushen meant, "This matter will definitely not tarnish Changping’s reputation."
Zhao Gushen nodded, "Go ahead."
Only then did Lu Chenghong leave.
Ye Fei then said to everyone, "I’m really fine."
"Also, before the competition today, backstage, I already told Gu Shen that I had already achieved my goals for participating in this competition," Ye Fei stated.
"Initially, it was to prove to the netizens that I have real skills and to show that what Shi Jiumei said about me was slander. In fact, with each match, I’ve long proved myself," Ye Fei said with a smile.
"Furthermore, before today’s match, I was already prepared not to win. It’s not that I lack confidence, but rather I’m afraid my mindset would become unbalanced. Also, because I’ve had too smooth a journey."
"Therefore, I needed to adjust my mindset," Ye Fei said.
"Although the process wasn’t as I imagined, no matter the process, the result is the same. There’s certainly regret, but I am not deeply upset." freёwebnovel.com
"Even though I didn’t achieve high scores, at least everyone is aware of my abilities. So what if I didn’t win the championship? I’ve already received everyone’s recognition," Ye Fei said, "That is enough."
"Child," the old lady said with heartache, "Instead of us comforting you, it’s you who is comforting us now."
"It’s precisely because I know the elders care about me that I can sort my mood so well," Ye Fei said.
