Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Special Treatment
Shi Jiumei took advantage of people’s tendency to sympathize with the weaker side, acting as if she were invincible: "What? Feeling guilty now, so you’re scared? Using the competition to pressure me."
"It’s not realistic to have us compete again, or to adjust the rules of this competition and start over," Ye Fei said. "Moreover, there’s nothing wrong with the rules of this competition. The competition is viewed from the perspective of the audience; chefs cook for the diners, don’t they? The diners being satisfied is what’s important."
"Besides, today’s audience wasn’t preselected as stooges, but drawn from those who bought tickets to enter," Ye Fei said. "If this is unfair to you, then perhaps for you, any competition you haven’t won would be deemed unfair."
"You want me to prove my culinary skills, and my participation in the competition wasn’t enough; you want me to prove it to you again," Ye Fei said.
"That’s so bullying," someone from the audience said.
"Yeah, and why should she prove it to her? She’s overestimating her own importance," another agreed.
On stage, Shi Jiumei naturally couldn’t hear these discussions.
Just then, Ye Fei said, "Proving it to you and making you convinced is possible. But if, this time, I satisfy your doubts, whether about me, the rules, or the judges, can other contenders in the future also destroy the competition’s rules at will due to their dissatisfaction?"
"If more people follow suit, causing a scene in the live broadcast just because they’re unwilling to accept a result, even if it’s eventually proven they were wrong, this fiasco still happens. If this happens in every competition, should we even continue?" Ye Fei questioned.
"Exactly." Zhao Gushen left Lu Chenghong and came onto the stage.
Ye Fei didn’t expect Zhao Gushen to just come up like that.
But as the president of the Changping Group, he had more authority to speak on stage than Lu Chenghong.
The crowd saw Zhao Gushen standing beside Ye Fei, and somehow it felt like he was protecting her.
He stood by Ye Fei, almost enveloping her within his shadow.
Firmly shielding Ye Fei.
The image of them standing together was inexplicably harmonious.
The crowd was a bit dazed and then heard Zhao Gushen say, "Shi Jiumei wants proof? Fine, we can give you this chance. But this kind of thing will only happen this once, and not again. Anyone who thinks they can pull a Shi Jiumei and throw a tantrum because they’re not happy with losing, blaming the judges and contestants to get special treatment, sorry, it’s impossible! You will be immediately disqualified from the competition."
"By entering the competition, you’ve accepted its rules. You’ve already accepted, and yet you regret it, thinking the competition ground is where you can mess around. Therefore, no exceptions in the future."
Xiao Ruofeng thought to himself that the move by this dog president was really ruthless.
Shi Jiumei kept claiming Ye Fei had special treatment.
Whether Ye Fei did or not, everyone else just suspected, without evidence.
But now Zhao Gushen came on stage and clarified that Shi Jiumei indeed had special treatment.
This time Shi Jiumei made a fuss with no consequence, and her demands were even met.
But no one else should expect treatment like Shi Jiumei’s in the future.
If anyone raises doubts, they can just walk away.
Whether Ye Fei has special treatment or not, nobody knows.
But Shi Jiumei’s special treatment is now evident to all.
