Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 500: Punishment (Two - s Combined)

Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Punishment (Two Chapters Combined)

"Have you already decided that it was me?" Ding Ruyun felt all eyes piercing her face like needles.

"It’s not our decision; the video clearly shows it." Guo Wenbo said coldly.

"Additionally, we will publicly release the full video on the competition’s official website. Audience members can watch and compare it themselves, and supervise our review to ensure no errors or omissions. We also welcome feedback from everyone." Guo Wenbo addressed the audience.

"Thus far, based on the video’s conclusions, indeed it was Ding Ruyun who sabotaged Ye Fei’s ingredients. The competition should cancel Ding Ruyun’s qualifications, but since she’s already been eliminated in this match, we cannot cancel her qualification any further." Guo Wenbo regretted this.

At this moment, he saw Zhao Gushen standing up in the VIP section.

Guo Wenbo paused his speech and looked towards Zhao Gushen.

He watched as Zhao Gushen walked out from the VIP section, his long strides leading him onto the stage.

The audience grew increasingly excited.

In the previous match, Zhao Gushen had already taken the stage once.

The spectators who weren’t there might not understand the feeling of being amazed.

But those in attendance, especially the girls, were truly amazed by Zhao Gushen.

This kind of man seemed impossible to exist in reality.

He’s so handsome!

Every gesture exuded charm.

"Didn’t expect to see Zhao Gushen on stage this match as well. Good thing I bought the ticket! Totally worth it!"

"Oh my, Zhao Gushen is here too! He attended both matches and even got on stage each time."

"Every time it’s because of Ye Fei that he gets on stage. What should I do? I can’t help myself but want to write a fanfic."

Ye Fei also didn’t expect Zhao Gushen to suddenly take the stage.

Ding Ruyun looked at Zhao Gushen somewhat dumbfounded.

She should be scared; Zhao Gushen coming up is surely not a good sign.

But facing Zhao Gushen, looking at his overall aura.

Ding Ruyun couldn’t help her heart racing.

This should be the closest she’s ever been to Zhao Gushen.

Ding Ruyun stared intensely, yet Zhao Gushen paid her no attention at all.

Zhao Gushen first glanced at Ye Fei, then walked to Guo Wenbo, taking the microphone from his hand, facing the audience.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhao Gushen." Zhao Gushen said.

In the previous match, he didn’t speak into the microphone.

Therefore, only a few audience members in the front row heard his voice clearly.

This time, the microphone amplified his voice, instantly filling the venue with his refreshing and gentle tone.

The young girls listened with blushing faces.

"Oh my god, I feel like Zhao Gushen fulfills all my fantasies," a young girl quietly said to her friend who came along.

"His live voice is even better than in interviews."

"He’s way more good-looking in person than on TV! Just heavenly looks."

"As the CEO of Changping Group, I hereby announce that even though Ding Ruyun has already been eliminated in this match, moving forward, any competition hosted by Changping Group, be it our Changping Culinary Competition or others in the future, will permanently ban Ding Ruyun from participating, forbidding her from joining any major competitions under Changping." Zhao Gushen said expressionlessly.

"Furthermore, all restaurants under Changping will refuse Ding Ruyun’s entry." Zhao Gushen added.

Meaning, Ding Ruyun can never apply, whether as a head chef, a sous chef, or for other positions.

She’ll never have a chance to submit resumes to restaurants under Changping Group.

Ding Ruyun, being a chef, participated in this competition hoping to stand out, add something impressive to her resume, and even open a door to enter high-end restaurants under Changping Group.

But now, not only are the doors shut tight, even the windows have been nailed shut for her.

Ding Ruyun finally came back to her senses, unable to keep staring at Zhao Gushen with a racing heart.

Upon hearing Zhao Gushen’s words, her heart went cold!

All restaurants under Changping Group have rejected her entry.

This means more than half of the restaurants in Hua Country are off limits for her applications.

Her job opportunities have been cut down by more than half.

And still, Ding Ruyun thinks too simply.

She thought it was merely restaurants under Changping Group refusing her.

Yet she didn’t consider, with Zhao Gushen saying this in such a big public event, personally announcing Ding Ruyun’s rejection.

The many parties that have good relations, cooperation, or even flatter Changping, and those not wanting to offend Changping, for various reasons, are plentiful.

Altogether, without mentioning controlling the remaining half of Hua Country’s culinary scene, but indeed, not much is left for Ding Ruyun.

Any company with ambition and capability, wanting to compete, cooperate with Changping, and establish connections.

None would hire Ding Ruyun to their restaurants.

They cannot afford to offend Zhao Gushen, let alone the combined forces of the Eight Great Families.

Even those without cooperation with Changping, the Eight Great Families cover judiciary, medical, entertainment, real estate fields, etc.

There’s always one industry needing cooperation.

Resulting in offense due to Ding Ruyun, leading to offending Zhao Gushen, then the Eight Great Families.

Who dares?

What’s left for Ding Ruyun to choose are those with no prospects, utterly unable to reach Changping Group, no matter how hard they try, those tiny restaurants.

If they can’t even reach, then in Changping Group’s eyes, they have no name.

Unknown entities, naturally, talking about offenses or flattery are irrelevant.

But Ding Ruyun attended the competition driven by ambition and aspirations.

How could she possibly settle in an unknown small restaurant?

What future could it possibly hold?

But from now on, she only has this option.

Currently, Ding Ruyun’s limited mind still does not realize this.

Just feeling half her path is blocked off, unaware two-thirds or even more paths are closed.

Plus, her actions during this match were live-streamed without any concealment.

The remaining restaurants not minding, and might employ her, must consider her character issues.

Having employed her, would they cause internal conflicts?

All sorts of chaotic operations would ensue, rendering the restaurant into a mess.

People work best with friendly mutual relationships among colleagues.

Some troublemakers might inevitably occur.

But knowing someone like this beforehand, hiring them, it’s better not to!

Knowing beforehand, it’s better to actively avoid it.

"This decision is made by me on behalf of Changping Group." Zhao Gushen said, returning the microphone to Guo Wenbo, then returned to sit in the VIP area.
