Chapter 787 Survival from desperate situation
Chef Arnold could see something fishy in just one sentence, but the four members of Tai Feng House didn't notice it after reading the entire report. Even though everyone felt that there was something wrong with the competition system, and the first round was indeed a bit unfair to Tai Fung House, no one thought about their unfairness and bad luck. In fact, someone was doing it behind the scenes.
Even Sun Maocai, who was experienced in competitions, only felt that something was not right after seeing the scores of the Eight Immortals Pavilion, so he agreed with Jiang Feng's suggestion to let Sun Jikai call the program team to question them.
If I didn't get through that night, I naturally had to call again during the day the next day.
This also led to the fact that when Sun Jikai dialed the phone, two photographers Fu Zheng were holding their cameras towards him.
Sun Jikai:......
"Hello?" The person doing the wiring this time is not the new guy who was in charge of the wiring last night. The new guy was scolded by Chef Arnold's second call last night and was autistic. Now the guy in charge of the wiring is from Peking. Side staff.
When Sun Jikai heard that the other party was actually speaking in Chinese, he was stunned for a moment: "I need to talk to your supervisor. (I need to talk to your supervisor)"
There was a commotion on the other end of the phone. The contestants' phone numbers were recorded by the program. The operator knew that the caller was a contestant from Tai Feng House. He felt a mixture of complex emotions such as guilty conscience, injustice, fear and being kicked. Together, he could only tell Sun Jikai to please wait a moment, and then went around looking for someone, and couldn't find anyone to talk to for five minutes.
The staff here in Peiping, including the person in charge of the program, basically stayed up all night.
Chef Arnold is the bellwether of this show. His every move, every word and every word touches the hearts of investors.
Yesterday, Chef Arnold made two abusive phone calls. The purpose of the insult was very clear. In less than an hour, the sponsor’s father from the United States called to ask the program team what was going on. Of course, the sponsor's father is not here to uphold justice. As long as Chef Arnold is not tampered with, he doesn't care who is tampered with.
What he was concerned about was which of the idiot staff on the show had done something so obvious, and Chef Arnold could hear it in just one sentence and get furious.
Once the news is known to more than three people, it will be blown out from every corner like the wind, drifting farther and farther and wider. The father of the American financier who is far away across the ocean can receive the news within an hour, not to mention the father of the Chinese financier in Peiping, the late-night master Han Guishan and Boss Han.
The staff on the Chinese side are basically people arranged by Han Guishan and Xu Cheng.
At first, Han Guishan didn't care when he heard that someone had tampered with someone during the game. He thinks it's normal to use hands and feet. After all, how many capitalists these days have clean hands?
Then, his assistant told him that it was his canteen that had been tampered with.
Han Guishan was angry.
The sponsor's father on the American side could only greet him on the phone across the Pacific Ocean, but Han Guishan and the program crew were less than 100 kilometers apart, so he immediately drove to the workplace to greet him in person.
As the sponsor's father, Han Guishan's greeting method is very simple.
Either solve it or divest. You can only choose one between money and shady things.
Xu Cheng also made a very cryptic phone call to hint to the program team that if Han Guishan withdraws investment, he will have a way to prevent them from getting any large sponsorship in Asia.
At first, the program team didn't take Han Guishan seriously at all. In their view, Han Guishan was just a stupid rich man with a lot of money. Because Han Guishan has rich experience in organizing cooking competitions, he just looked at the planning document given by the program team from the beginning. He didn’t even read it carefully. He just put it aside and didn’t care much. He didn’t participate in anything or put forward any opinions. , only paying money, giving people the impression that they are particularly easy to fool.
But what they didn't know was that the reason why Han Guishan didn't care was because Xu Cheng was keeping an eye on him. The Chinese staff were basically Xu Cheng's people, and he also had a very reliable assistant, so why did he need to personally care about it.
Han Guishan's raid really taught this group of money-hungry and arrogant staff a lesson. Your sponsor's father is still your father.
Today's Tai Feng Tower is no longer the soft persimmon with no background that is easy to pinch. It is a golden persimmon that shines with golden light and exudes the fragrance of money.
It is the same as the top-floor restaurant, with a glittering gold-financing father standing behind it.
Of course, Sun Jikai didn't know the twists and turns behind this. He just thought it was a normal procedure, so when he waited for almost four or five minutes until the so-called person in charge came to talk to him on the phone, he thought it was normal. Peaceful and democratic America. He is still very clear about the work efficiency.
Sun Jikai paraphrased what Jiang Feng said last night.
"Okay, we have received your suggestions now, and we have also discovered the problem with the competition system, which has really caused Taifeng House to suffer a lot. So we will try our best to make up for it this week and modify some parts next week. Competition system, please rest assured that we will work hard to create a fair and just competition environment. If you have any other comments or ideas, you can call us at any time and we will discuss and correct them in time. I wish you a happy life. ”< br>
Sun Jikai:?
Was he really calling the show team's hotline?
Why is that last sentence so familiar?
"How is it?" Jiang Feng asked.
Sun Jikai was still a little dazed, feeling that it was going so smoothly that it was unbelievable: "They said over there that they are already modifying the competition system and will try their best to remedy it."
Jiang Feng:?
"Such a good attitude?" Jiang Feng also felt a little incredible.
Wu Minqi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Could it be because many contestants called last night to raise relevant opinions, so our phone lines were blocked and kept busy, so the program team held a meeting overnight to discuss modifying the competition rules."
Jiang Feng and Sun Jikai nodded in unison: "It's possible."
Sun Maocai had already guessed something, but did not say it clearly. He smiled and said: "Since the program team has said that they will try their best to remedy the situation, let's not worry about waiting for the results. We will still be open for business as usual today."
The three of them felt justified, stopped thinking about these things that they couldn't change even if they wanted to, and returned to their normal work in the kitchen.
Sales were very bad on Friday.
Perhaps because Saturday is a rest day and everyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to rest and relax, the sales of Sun Jikai's Dry Fried Niuhe are very poor, only half of the previous sales. The sales volume of Wu Minqi's Mapo Tofu has increased a bit, but it cannot make up for the loss of points caused by the low sales volume of Sun Jikai's Gan Chao Niu He.
Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai are the same as before, and their sales are basically negligible.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi returned home. As usual, they estimated the points they would get for the day before the program team released the point statistics. After the estimation, they found that, as expected, Taifeng Tower was getting colder.
Even if the dishes sold today have a 100% positive rating, the points earned are less than 100 points.
This data can be said to be quite cold, simply too cold.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but sit on the sofa and sighed. He felt like a businessman on the verge of bankruptcy. He looked at the dismal financial statements every night and felt that he was one step closer to bankruptcy.
"Fengfeng is fine, there's still next week, and the program team said they would take remedial measures," Wu Minqi comforted.
"But we are still far behind." Jiang Feng sighed again, "I estimate that we may be one or two thousand points away from the first place. No matter how we make up for it, it is impossible to make up for two thousand points at once."< br>
Wu Minqi knew this was true, but she had no choice. She even complained in her heart about why the sales volume of Mapo Tofu was not as good as that of Sun Jikai's Dry Fried Niuhe. If the sales volume of her Mapo Tofu could be the same as that of Sun Jikai, Tai Feng Tower would Not so passive.
The more Wu Minqi thought about it, the more she complained about herself. As if she was getting into trouble and didn't want Jiang Feng to see it, she simply got up and told Jiang Feng that she was going to take a shower first and go to the bathroom to get some hot water to calm down.
Wu Minqi went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Jiang Feng sat on the sofa and calculated the points again to see if he could get two more points.
Although two more points won't change anything.
Just when Jiang Feng was trying to find ways to make up for the impossible two points, the game prompt that the boss had run away suddenly sounded.
"Ding, I found an optional main quest."
!
Main mission!
Jiang Feng was shocked and quickly opened the properties panel.
You know, the game has not issued a main mission for a long time.
At first, Jiang Feng thought that when the competition started, the game would issue a main task similar to that of the previous Tasty Cooking Competition, such as getting Tai Feng House into the finals, or getting the first place. As a result, when the contract was signed and the recording was completed, the game showed no reaction at all. Later, because the points in Tai Feng Tower were too bleak, Jiang Feng forgot about it.
Now that the game finally clicked, Jiang Feng finally remembered that, yes, he was a person with cheats.
He is a person who has cheats just like the protagonist.
At this critical moment, the game beeped, and the main mission was announced. Jiang Feng could think of the reason with his toes.
Sure enough, the main mission was exactly as he expected.
[Escape from desperate situations]: The first stage of the Sino-US Chef King Competition has begun. Tai Feng Tower is lagging behind by a big score and is about to lose hope of qualifying. How could a protagonist be eliminated in the first round of such an important and high-profile international competition with a very low score? Turning the tide and surviving from desperate situations is the script that the protagonist should have. Players are asked to seize the opportunity to survive from desperate situations and let Tai Feng Tower successfully advance to the finals. Mission progress: (0/1)
Mission reward: Unknown
Task tip: If the status quo is maintained, with the current points and the last ranking, Taifeng House will definitely be eliminated in the first round. This Sunday is the only chance for Taifeng House. Players are asked to seize the opportunity and make reasonable use of themselves. Every resource that can be utilized.
Sunday?
Jiang Feng read the mission prompt again and felt that the game had clearly hinted at it, but it was not so obvious.
Obviously, if Tai Feng Tower remains in its current state of death, no matter how hard we try to turn the tide in the next three weeks, we will not be able to successfully exit.
What does it mean that Sunday is just the last chance?
Jiang Feng thought about it for a while. If he remembered correctly, every Sunday was the day for the legendary small test where the details were not announced.
Relying on small tests to make a comeback?
This is too ridiculous!
Just when Jiang Feng was thinking about how to rely on unknown small tests to make a comeback, and how to seize the opportunity and make rational use of every resource he had, Wu Minqi's exclamation came from the bathroom.
"Fengfeng, look at the WeChat group, look at WeChat! The group program team has made an announcement!"
The sound was extremely high and sharp, breaking through the bathroom door and wall and reaching Jiang Feng's ears clearly.
Wu Minqi can be said to be quite excited.
Jiang Feng quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat group and found that the program team made an announcement at 10:30.
Different from yesterday’s announcement, this announcement concerns every contestant.
The program team has modified the competition format.
To be precise, it supplements the competition system.
The opportunity for Tai Fung House to make a comeback has come. (End of chapter)
