Let Grace Green find her own way to articulate the meaning,” Adrian Zhekova said.
Billy Houston nodded repeatedly.
Considering that Adrian Zhekova is the CEO after all.
He quickly thought of this solution within a short time, enabling them to stand on the moral high ground first.
Before Jenny Kirk realized this, they pinned her down.
By the time Jenny Kirk reacts, it will already be too late to say anything.
...
Everything that could be said, should be said, has already been said by their side at Pingla.
Therefore, Billy Houston quickly went to inform Grace Green.
After receiving the notice, Grace Green finally breathed a sigh of relief. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
At least she now knew in which direction to steer the discourse.
“Apologies, dear audience.
Today’s final has taken a turn that neither the organizers, the five judges, nor I, as the host of this competition, anticipated,” Grace Green said.
“This competition should have been fascinating.
However, an unexpected issue has arisen regarding the scoring by the judges,” Grace Green continued, “I’ve heard the protests from the audience as well.”
“As for this outcome, I personally deeply regret it,” Grace Green said, “However, the organizers of the Pingla Culinary Competition have always adhered to a principle, which is not to intervene in the judges’ scoring.”
“Moreover, the organizers trust that the judges invited to the major competition will be fair in their evaluation,” Grace Green went on to say.
“The current situation is something that the organizers did not anticipate,” Grace Green remarked, “Even so, under the current circumstances, the organizers still decide to adhere to their original principle.”
“That is to not interfere with the judges’ scoring,” Grace Green said.
“Does this still count as non-interference?” one audience member said.
“Obviously, Jenny Kirk is just making arbitrary evaluations!”
“But did you notice, aside from giving Cindy Clarke an extremely low score, the scores Jenny Kirk gave to other participants are indeed low, but it’s balanced.
It’s just generally two points lower than the other judges.
If you add those two points to it, it would be similar to the scores the other judges gave.”
“In this way, the additional points participants get from her are less, but the gap between the participants is not huge.
Only Cindy Clarke is the one she gave an extremely low score.
I think she probably still wants to save face.
Otherwise, she might have given Cindy Clarke a score as low as one or a fraction of a point.”
“Because the gap is too big, not to mention competing with Parker Honi, even the gap between Cindy Clarke and the ninth place has gradually widened.”
“If the Pingla Competition organizers continue to include Jenny Kirk’s scores, it wouldn’t actually affect the other contestants.
The only person affected would be Cindy Clarke.”
“In this way, Cindy Clarke has essentially lost her eligibility to compete for the championship,” one person analyzed, “But don’t forget, Cindy Clarke is Adrian Zhekova’s wife.”
“But now she’s obviously being bullied by Jenny Kirk, yet the competition still chooses to respect the initial principle and does not interfere with the judges’ scores,” this person said, “This means that Cindy Clarke is certain to lose this competition.”
“Do you remember what Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova said when the truth about their relationship became public?
They explicitly assured that they would not use their power to give any advantages to Cindy Clarke.
The results will depend on her skills and the scores from judges.”
“Even under the clearly biased judgement of Jenny Kirk, Adrian Zhekova didn’t do anything to her and has stuck to the principle of the competition all along,” this person said with a hint of admiration on his face.
“This shows that what Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova told us was serious,” the person continued, “Even at this level, Adrian Zhekova has no intention of using his power to fight for anything for Cindy Clarke.”
“They are treating Cindy Clarke as an ordinary contestant,” the person went on, “You can think about it.
If an ordinary person were to participate in this competition and face this situation, would Pingla stand up against Jenny Kirk?”
The audience around him thought for a while before hesitantly shaking their heads.
Because they know the relationship between Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova.
So they had faith that Adrian Zhekova would do something for Cindy Clarke.
But if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t find Pingla’s decision strange.
“Therefore, I think, off the competition field, Cindy Clarke is Adrian Zhekova’s wife.
But on the competition field, she is just like other contestants.
This is what Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke want to express.
Even if they are wronged, they won’t do anything on the field, and they don’t want Cindy Clarke to be treated as special,” the person said.
“Initially, when Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke made these statements, many people didn’t believe them.
They thought they were just saying nice things, and whether there were any enhancements in the results or the scores given by the judges, only the judges knew themselves.”
“The judges gave high scores, but they insisted that Cindy Clarke’s cuisine was worth those scores.
Even if it didn’t taste good, we wouldn’t know,” the person said, “Just a while ago, people still had this kind of thought, didn’t they?”
“But now, at least Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova have proven to us that they kept their word and didn’t give any special favors,” the person said, “Jenny Kirk is the only one who acted out of personal bias.”
On the stage, Grace Green said, “The Pingla Competition organizers will not manipulate the contestants’ scores.
Therefore, the scoring will continue.”
“However, we need to put an end to this farce as soon as possible.
Therefore, I will not announce the scores one by one.
Instead, we will cast the original score sheets filled out by the judges one by one onto the big screen for real-time calculation and updating.”
“We also welcome the broad audience to supervise,” said Grace Green in a solemn voice.
At this moment, there was no hint of a smile on her face.
Even the professional smile of a host was nowhere to be seen, just an expression of seriousness.
It was obvious that she was extremely disappointed with how the competition had evolved.
This stage was no longer a place where she could afford a smile.
“Before the scores are made public, I have several words to say.
However, the words I will say next represent only my personal views,” said Grace Green.
“I’m still standing on this stage as a professional host.
However, I can’t do more than that.
Even a professional smile, I’m sorry, I can’t pull it off.”
“The significance of this stage has been lost due to a rather problematic and highly criticized affair.
It has become a place where I can’t afford to smile, yet it has become rather laughable.”
“Of course, this issue has nothing to do with the Pingla Competition or the organizers.
Just now, I received the thoughts of President Billy Houston and Mr.
Adrian Zhekova, CEO of the Pingla Group.
The competition continues as per the rules.”
“Pingla sets the rules, but it also respects and adheres to the rules.”
