Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 537: Mom, You’re Right

On the screen, there was a continuous display of blue sky, white clouds, and flying birds, creating a visual illusion.

If you don’t look closely, it’s hard to notice that the sky at the end is actually fake.

To achieve this, just the high-definition screens alone require a significant investment, enough to surround the entire stadium.

Plus, transforming the stadium without making the contestants suspicious, it has to look realistic.

Judging by the contestants’ reactions as they got off the bus and looked around, these transformations have succeeded in fooling their eyes.

Just this aspect makes it hard to imagine how much Changping Group has invested.

When spectators arrived for ticket inspection, they found the viewing area for the competition had moved to the stadium, which was already quite surprising.

Once inside, they found their seats and looked down, instantly shocked.

Changping literally brought a mini jungle into the stadium.

The grand and magnificent scene left the spectators stunned.

At the same time, they were astonished by Changping’s financial power.

To such an incredible extent.

After all, a culinary competition doesn’t have the same broad audience as those reality shows starring celebrities.

Despite this, Changping spent so much money on such a competition!

This is unimaginable for spectators, an astronomical price!

Even those wealthy TV stations, when recording celebrity reality shows, earn substantial profits.

Yet even they are reluctant to spend so much money to create such a stage!

But Changping did it simply for a cooking competition today.

They made it this grand!

This event today clearly costs more than they will earn.

Even the most expensive tickets are limited in number.

Including ticket sales, live broadcast income, advertising income, etc., they probably can’t match today’s cost investment!

Is Changping crazy?

They’re entirely loaded!

"Hahaha! Luckily I got a ticket to be here today! Initially, I was here for the drama among contestants and Zhao Gushen. Didn’t expect the scene to be so spectacular! It’s worth more than just seeing Zhao Gushen!"

"Oh my gosh! It’s so impressive, the live scene is too shocking. Besides ’Whoa,’ I can’t find any other words to describe it."

"Blame me for not paying attention in Chinese class; now all I can say is ’Whoa’ and ’Awesome,’" said a dazed spectator.

Viewers watching the live broadcast on the screen also punched their chests in regret.

"Why didn’t I snatch a ticket? Why! A few hundred bucks for such a live scene, totally worth it! Way more valuable than a celebrity concert!"

"It’s not just celebrity concerts; more worth than any live performance I’ve ever seen! I’ve never seen such tactics! Changping is too bold."

"Changping Group! Can you show off just because you have money? Yes, you can absolutely show off with money."

"I’m so frustrated! Why am I not there!"

"I got a ticket before but sold it at a higher price; if I’d known, I wouldn’t have sold it!"

"Changping, you’re not fair, spending so much on this event without any hint!"

"Ah, who knows what the next competition will be like; I’m getting more and more excited."

"No matter what the next competition will be like, I’m getting a ticket to see it, if not, I’ll buy from a scalper; I have to see it."

Not just the spectators.

Even the four elders of the Zhao Family were shocked by the magnitude, despite being used to big events.

Zhao Dinghuan guessed right away that Zhao Gushen had done it for Ye Fei.

He asked Zhao Gushen, "You can’t say you didn’t know about this, right?"

Previously at the old house, he pretended not to know about the competition format.

Who’d believe such a thing! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Zhao Gushen touched his nose and said, "Xiao Fei didn’t want to know, so I had to cooperate and pretend not to know."

"Alright, now Ye Fei is not here, just tell the truth," Zhao Dinghuan said.

Seeing Zhao Gushen set such a huge scene for Ye Fei, Zhao Dinghuan suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

What if Chi Jingsi compares Zhao Gushen, thinking he didn’t do as well as their son?

Zhao Dinghuan thought he should find an opportunity to chat with Zhao Gushen.

Don’t show love in such a big way.

Know when to stop!

At least, leave him some room to live.

"The format for this event had been planned for ages; initially, it was really planned to send the contestants into the wild. But that would increase the risk, especially with Xiao Fei there," Zhao Gushen said.

"Any potential danger to Xiao Fei has to be avoided. Yet the plan itself is excellent, so to ensure maximum safety for the contestants, we simply borrowed the stadium from Qianzi."

"Qianzi didn’t ask for money, even though this amount in the total investment is just a drop in the ocean, saving a bit is still saving." After all, even if you have money, you shouldn’t waste it, right?

"To protect the turf, we elevated a portion, moving in soil and plants on the raised part," Zhao Gushen said.

"To deceive the contestants to the fullest, screens were added around the simulated jungle," Zhao Gushen said, "This way, if there’s any issue with the contestants, the event organizers can react immediately, maximizing contestant safety."

"Simulating the jungle environment for contestants to compete inside, while giving spectators a live view, is a win-win. Additionally, it serves as promotion for Changping. After all, such grand gestures from Changping are unprecedented. Especially, with the focus on ensuring contestant safety."

"The stadium is limited, contestants will eventually find out. No need to wait for the contest to end, they’ll discover while exploring the jungle," Zhao Gushen said.

"At that point, An Haiyin will come out and explain the intentions behind these arrangements," Zhao Gushen said, "Seeing that the event alone spent so much just to ensure contestant safety, spectators will surely have a great impression of Changping."

"This benefits our brand promotion too," Zhao Gushen said, "Of course, these benefits are secondary, the primary intention is to ensure contestant safety first."

Otherwise, if Changping just wanted to promote, they wouldn’t make such a large investment.

Zhao Dinghuan nodded.

Chi Jingsi said, "But I see, Ye Fei is about to find out."

"The contest has just started, only to be discovered; doesn’t this count as a sort of failure?" Chi Jingsi said gloatingly, looking at Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Gushen pinched his brow and helplessly said, "Mom, at the very least this is our investment, don’t be so happy."

"I’m proud of my daughter-in-law for being smart," Chi Jingsi replied promptly.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

This statement, he couldn’t refute.

"Mom, you’re absolutely right," Zhao Gushen never imagined he’d say this someday.
