NOVPUBChapter 898: Chapter 898: Complaint _1 Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Complaint _1 “Although the Pingla Culinary Competition is just a subsidiary of Pingla Group, the competition is still funded and hosted by the Pingla Group,” Adrian Zhekova said, “Originally, this year’s competition had received positive feedback from the audience and had a good reputation.”
“The Pingla Competition has garnered much more attention than ever before this year.
The number of spectators at the venue, the live stream viewers, and the Internet discussion metrics are all very clear data,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“For this, we are all very happy, not because of the benefits it brings, but because this small community is increasingly getting recognized and accepted by the public,”
“As a result, all the hard work we have put in for such a long time was wasted due to the incident in today’s final,” Adrian Zhekova said, “This heartache, this anger, no matter how we express it in any language, it seems pale.”
“Someone needs to take responsibility for today’s outcome,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“Without proper examination, we trusted the International Culinary Competition and rashly allowed Jenny Kirk to join as the sixth judge at such a crucial moment,”
“So this result, Pingla also bears a great responsibility,” Adrian Zhekova said, “we won’t shirk the responsibility we should bear.”
“But this doesn’t mean that we won’t go after Jenny Kirk and the International Culinary Competition’s responsibility.
Pingla will definitely pursue it to the end and demand an explanation from the International Culinary Competition!”
“As for the champion this time,” Adrian Zhekova looked at Parker Honi, gave a slight smile, and said, “Parker Honi, you deserve the championship, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
“Originally you were competing with Cindy Clarke, both of you are evenly matched, and no one would object to either of you winning.”
“So, don’t feel like this victory is unfair or anything,” Adrian Zhekova said, “I don’t think anyone would have a problem with you winning.”
It seemed reasonable.
“Although you didn’t get to have a good competition with Cindy Clarke this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future,” Adrian Zhekova said.
Parker Honi felt that his victory was somewhat underwhelming.
...
But his abilities were clear to see.
Cindy Clarke was wronged.
But people didn’t have a problem with him winning.
“Yes,” Cindy Clarke began.
She laughed generously.
Her anger was only due to Jenny Kirk.
Regarding Parker Honi winning the championship, Cindy Clarke had no complaints.
Even without Jenny Kirk causing trouble, it was hard to say who would’ve won between her and Parker Honi.
Cindy Clarke had been prepared to lose from the start.
She just didn’t expect to lose in this way.
When everyone looked at her, Cindy Clarke laughed and said: “I’m not pretending to be generous, nor am I forcing a smile.”
“Although I lost the competition in this way, I will seek justice.
But you deserve the championship, your abilities are clear for all to see.
You don’t have to feel bad about winning just because I was wronged.”
Parker Honi didn’t respond.
Even though Cindy Clarke said so, it wasn’t the same.
If Cindy hadn’t been wronged, it wouldn’t have been clear who would’ve been champion.
“Also, as Adrian said, there will be many opportunities for us to compete in the future,” Cindy Clarke laughed, “you are now committed to participating in the International Culinary Competition.”
“If the International Culinary Competition doesn’t try to trip us up and promises a fair and unbiased competition, then I will definitely apply too.
At that time, we’ll still have the opportunity to compete,” Cindy Clarke said.
Her words were able to lighten Parker Honi’s heavy mood.
“With your abilities, you will certainly be able to get into the International Culinary Competition smoothly,” Parker Honi had great faith in Cindy Clarke’s abilities.
Cynthia Florine said to Jasmine Hudson in a low voice, “Parker is really a straightforward man.
Saying such things in front of so many people, he’s putting a lot of pressure on Cindy Clarke.
He can’t let people think she’s arrogant.”
Cindy Clarke laughed and said, “Don’t praise me too early, what if I’m not selected?”
However, Parker Honi didn’t seem to take Cindy’s words to heart.
But then he realized that saying such things in this situation would make Cindy Clarke the target of criticism.
So, he didn’t continue.
However, considering the way the International Culinary Competition operated, he said: “But, if the judges of the International Culinary Competition are as unprofessional as today, then no matter how good the skills are, it’s useless.
I won’t participate in the International Culinary Competition.”
Cindy Clarke nodded with a smile: “Not only the International Culinary Competition, we still have many more opportunities.”
The culinary competition ended on an unsatisfactory note.
But the subsequent matters were not yet concluded.
Jenny Kirk’s issue needed to be resolved.
Even before Pingla, netizens had already been writing emails, and those who swore at the International Culinary Competition’s official Facebook page went to swear at their page.
Therefore, even before Pingla took action, the organizers of the International Culinary Competition already knew about Jenny Kirk’s issue.
They were even thoughtful enough to attach video evidence along with the emails.
It included Jenny Kirk’s explanation, as well as the audience and other contestants’ evaluations after tasting Cindy Clarke’s cuisine.
The audience who watched the competition online came from various backgrounds.
A lot of them were good at video editing.
Including those like Cindy Clarke, who are content creators on CouTube.
They are very adept at video editing.
Clipping out some footage of Jenny Kirk didn’t require any top-notch editing skills.
So, the speed was quite quick.
There were also some netizens who were good at English.
They asked on Facebook, “Do video editors need me to translate Jenny Kirk’s words into English?
I’m worried that there might be a lot of foreigners among the organizers of the International Culinary Competition and not many might understand Chinese.”
Even if there are people who understand Chinese, they are worried that they won’t specifically find someone to translate it just for this email.
It would be better to translate it directly so they can understand immediately.
It saves a lot of trouble.
If the International Culinary Competition’s organizers doubt the accuracy of the subtitles, they can also find someone to verify it.
“Yes, we need it!
“A netizen replied, “I’m currently editing the video, I’ll send it to you once I finish clipping it, please help me translate the Chinese into English, I will then add the subtitles.”
“No problem!”
The netizen translated it very quickly and directly posted it on Facebook after it was done, “Grab it if you need it.”
The netizen who was good at editing videos didn’t hoard it either.
He didn’t think it was exclusively his just because he edited it, refusing to share.
He directly made the video public and said: “I’ve already edited the subtitles.
Grab it if you need it.
You can directly send this in your email.”
A netizen asked: “Is it okay for us all to send the same thing?”
“It’s okay, our videos are not fake.”
