But do we need to show them respect?
Do you think Pingla is in a position where they need to fear them?
Or should give them face?”
“Pingla has always been expanding overseas, gaining more power in discourse, not for you all to give them face.
It’s for you all to stand upright, not subject to any one!”
“But what about now?
You’ve let the whole nation think that even Pingla has to give face to the organizers of the International Culinary Competition, suggesting that the status of Hearth Nation’s culinary world is not that strong internationally.”
“What significance do the organizers of the International Culinary Competition hold?
Each round of competition still relies on our investment from Pingla.
...
Remember, we’re the party giving money, we are their boss!”
“It’s not us who should worry about their mood, it’s them who should worry about ours,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“If you can’t even analyze this situation, you indeed bear significant responsibility,” Adrian Zhekova said.
Cindy Clarke’s heart was steady.
She knew that Adrian Zhekova must have his reasons.
He wouldn’t fool around with serious matters.
Billy Houston hung his head very low under Zhekova’s words.
Indeed, his insight was not sufficient.
He was previously worried that Adrian Zhekova would blame him due to Cindy Clarke.
But now he realized, he had thought wrong.
He indeed deserved punishment!
The decision this time suddenly put Pingla on the defense.
Adrian Zhekova took a moment, saying, “Send me a list of all those who participated in making this decision, who agreed to admit Jenny Kirk, who objected, all of it.
Send me a copy of the meeting records as well.”
“Yes.” Billy Houston, having no objection, immediately replied.
“You go first,” Adrian Zhekova said, “There are still some loose ends that you need to handle.”
“Yes.” Billy Houston nodded.
“I won’t demote anyone for this incident.
As for the specific punishments, it will be informed later.
Therefore, everyone stay calm about your roles.
Go back and inform the other executives, let them focus on their work.” 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
“If the decision for the finals was messed up and if the loose ends are still messed-up, then don’t bother holding on to these positions.
Even if it means a great upheaval in the personnel, I would rather change all of you.
Understand?” Adrian Zhekova said in a deep voice.
“Understood,” Billy Houston knew what Adrian Zhekova meant, “This time, we will definitely not let Pingla’s reputation be damaged.”
Adrian Zhekova nodded: “Go ahead.”
Only then did Billy Houston leave.
Cindy Clarke then said to everyone, “I’m really fine.”
“Also, before today’s competition, I talked with Adrian backstage.
I have already achieved my goal for participating in this major competition,” Cindy Clarke said.
“Initially, I just wanted to prove to the Internet users that I have real skills, to prove that what Zoe Silverstone said about me was slander.
Actually, through each round of competition, I have already proved myself,” Cindy Clarke smiled.
“And also, before today’s match, I had prepared myself for not winning.
It’s not that I lacked confidence, but I was afraid I would lose balance.
Also, because I had had a smooth journey till now.”
“So, I wanted to adjust my mindset,” Cindy Clarke said.
“Even though the process wasn’t as I expected, no matter what the process was like, the result was the same.
Yes, I feel regretful, but I’m not that upset.”
“Even though I didn’t score that well, at least everyone knows my ability.
What if I didn’t win the championship?
I have already been recognized by everyone,” Cindy Clarke said, “That’s enough.”
“You, child,” the Old Madam said sympathetically, “Instead of us comforting you, you are comforting us.”
“Because I know you all care about me, that’s why I can sort out my feelings so well,” Cindy Clarke said.
