This is not a complaint from one or two people, the more people complain, the more the organizing committee of the International Culinary Competition will have to take it seriously.”
“That’s right!
If the organizers of the International Culinary Competition don’t give us an explanation, then we’ll boycott the competition!”
“Don’t underestimate our influence; although we’re not competitors and cannot refuse to participate, our Hearth Nation has a huge market.
If they hope to make a profit from our market, they must pay attention to our voices.”
“They bully people on our home ground and still want to make money?”
“That’s right, if they don’t severely punish Jenny Kirk, I’ll absolutely boycott the International Culinary Competition!”
The netizens have already taken spontaneous action.
Cindy Clarke’s fans certainly aren’t idle either.
They’ve collated all possible ways to lodge a complaint, videos of the incident and drafted complaints, posting them all on Facebook to make it easier for others to join in and complain.
Netizens wouldn’t even have to write their own complaint, they simply copy the content, save the video and click to send.
...
The whole process takes less than a minute.
It’s as easy as pressing buttons.
Meanwhile, for Cindy, the competition has officially ended.
Naturally, Cindy felt some disappointment.
Preparations were taken seriously, only to be responded to in this manner.
If she had been outperformed because of lack of skills, it would have been acceptable.
This time though, it’s somewhat hard to swallow.
But, fearing that her family would worry, Cindy managed to suppress her emotions.
The competition had just ended, leaving Cindy with insufficient time to process her emotions properly.
Even an extra hour would have been better than her current state.
When Cindy emerged, Peggy Lewis was also there.
Being concerned about Cindy, Peggy decided to stay behind.
Luckily the youngsters were there too, standing among the Zhekova family members, easing Peggy’s tension a bit.
“Cindy!” Old Madam called out when she saw Cindy appear with Adrian Zhekova, and everyone came over.
“How are you?” Old Madam asked, “If you’re upset, just swear it out loud!
It’s ok to swear however you want!”
With such a frustrating situation, there should be a way to vent.
“You can even use abusive language.” Victoria Wheeler chimed in.
Everyone: “…”
If even Old Madam didn’t mind, what else could others possibly say?
Peggy Lewis secretly gave the youngsters a thumbs up.
This showed that Cindy’s status in the family was indeed high!
Everyone pampered her so much and even allowed her to vent by swearing at people.
“It’s all because of Adrian.” Old Master stated, “Didn’t you realise you should have kept an eye on things earlier?
Now look at the mess that’s happened.”
Cindy quickly responded, “I’m really fine, and the Pingla Competition organizers have their own autonomy.
They didn’t know about Jenny Kirk and hence didn’t foresee this.”
“It was just a minor matter to save face for the organizers of the International Culinary Competition.
Who could have guessed that Jenny Kirk wouldn’t give in?” Cindy continued, “Honestly, even with personal grudges, most people wouldn’t have done what she did, bringing personal issues to the fore without leaving any room for maneuver.”
Let’s not look far, in the entertainment circle alone, plenty of people appear friendly in public but are at odds privately.
Many have open disputes, yet when they appear in public, they at least pretend to be cordial with one another.
The most they would do is subtly mock each other.
But how could Jenny Kirk do all this?
Just to make Cindy lose a match, she sacrificed her own career?
Or perhaps, is Jenny Kirk indifferent to losing her job because she’s wealthy?
She believes she can easily find another job, or even that it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t work at all?
Or does she think that Adrian Zhekova wouldn’t bother caring about the trouble she caused with the competition’s organizers?
Perhaps she believes that Adrian Zhekova wouldn’t want to offend the organizers of the International Culinary Competition over this?
“Nobody could have foreseen what happened today,” said Cindy.
When Old Madam heard this, she realized that Cindy, who had been wronged herself, was in fact, comforting them.
This only made her more upset.
They had promised to have Cindy’s back regardless of the situation.
This agreement still echoed in their ears, but now Cindy was being bullied right under their noses.
Old Madam ground her teeth and said, “Then why don’t you hit Adrian?”
Everyone: “…”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Could it be that Cindy is the real Zhekova family member?
And Adrian Zhekova was just adopted?
Victoria Wheeler nodded and said, “It is Adrian’s fault.
The responsibility is all his.”
“If you can’t do it in front of everyone, you can hit him secretly at home,” Victoria suggested.
Cindy: “…”
She really didn’t want to hit Adrian.
Adrian Zhekova: “…”
“CEO,” at this point, Billy Houston arrived in a rush.
Although the competition was over, he still had things to take care of.
Being part of the cause behind the current situation, he also had to shoulder some responsibility.
Adrian hadn’t questioned him yet, but Billy couldn’t pretend like nothing happened.
“Elder Sir, Old Madam,” Billy greeted upon arrival, careful not to miss anyone.
“The current incident was due to my misjudgment.
This is why the final turned out this way,” Billy confessed guiltily.
Regardless of whether Cindy or someone else were the one at a loss, it would be the same.
What should have been a fantastic final turned into a farce.
The champion ended up with a hollow victory, Cindy’s loss was demeaning, and the audience got a disappointing show.
“You do have a responsibility,” Adrian said.
Cindy looked at Adrian.
She wondered, was Adrian really going to hold Billy responsible for her sake?
On the one hand, Cindy believed that Adrian might want to stand up for her and found this plausible.
But it certainly wasn’t that simple.
Cindy trusted that Adrian wouldn’t let personal feelings interfere with work matters.
If he really pursues Billy’s responsibility, there must be a reason that Adrian deems necessary.
Adrian then spoke, “It’s not just because Jenny Kirk disrupted the order of the competition, or because Cindy was bullied.
It’s because you guys easily bowed down to the International Culinary Competition.”
“I can’t believe you didn’t know about Jenny Kirk’s capability.
If you remove her representation of the International Culinary Competition organizers and other external conditions, is she qualified to be a judge?
Does she have the qualifications to stand alongside the other five judges?”
“The other five judges are all significant figures in the culinary world; they are each extremely professional top chefs.
But what about Jenny Kirk?”
“Given her capabilities, how could she be a judge?
I know you guys thought she was a representative of the International Culinary Competition organizers.”
