Chapter 466 Was I handsome just now?

Just as the fat man finished pumping the air, a discordant sound came from the side.

Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and saw that it was a contestant named Gu Yanghui who had not been very active since the discussion.

"Don't be anxious, brother. Since the program team is setting a trap, the situation that all teams will face must be the same. It won't just be us. Other teams may still be in the dark. Now that we know about it, it means we have the advantage. Known traps are always better than unknown emergencies. Let's discuss it and solve it together. It's not a big deal." The fat man smiled kindly.

"You chose three sets of seats. Those who are in a hurry can find the problem, but others who have plenty of time and are working on one or two tables can't find it?" After hearing the fat man's words, Gu Yanghui did not calm down. Instead, he retorted, "I'm asking, if there are other pitfalls, and we have to work on three tables and there is no time to deal with them, who will be responsible for the deducted points?"

"Whose responsibility is the deducted points? This is the result of a joint decision by everyone, and the banquet requires joint efforts to prepare. Of course, the points earned should be counted for everyone. Does the deducted points have to be counted for just one person?" Zhao Xiaojing asked in confusion.

"Everyone decided together? I think it was all your idea. What's the point of everyone objecting? After all the twists and turns, it was all your decision in the end."

"Gu Yanghui, stop it. What's the point of arguing? If you had any objections, why didn't you say so when we decided to do three sets?" Nian Fusheng frowned and knocked on the table.

"Did I say it was useful? Which of your suggestions worked? They always have reasons for not wanting to do something, and excuses for wanting to do something. Who knows what they discussed in private? It sounds nice, the points will be shared by everyone, and when we have three tables and get the points, they will get the most. If they don't get any, they will also have points deducted!" Gu Yanghui sneered.

"Haha, when we were discussing it, you didn't raise a single objection. You said it would be useless even if you did? You didn't say anything, so how could I know what you were thinking?" The fat man looked at Gu Yanghui with a smile on his face. "Besides, the scoring rules also say that the distribution of points requires the unanimous consent of everyone. If you have any objections to the score distribution, you can report it to the production team. Besides, I have always emphasized that all positions are equally important. As long as there are no problems in the area you are responsible for, you will get points. Did I say that I should give myself and the vice-captain more points?"

"You didn't say it, but you might think so." Gu Yanghui couldn't answer and simply acted like a rogue.

Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the time and looked around with a frown.

The people at the table had different expressions: some were impatient, some were deeply thoughtful, and some were obviously anxious.

There's no point in continuing to argue like this.

Zhao Xiaojing stood up. "Everyone, it's getting late. It's a good idea to talk things out as soon as possible. Since we have different opinions, this is a good opportunity to express our views. It would be best if we can find common ground while reserving differences. If that's not possible, we can also regroup within the team. Otherwise, there's no point in wasting time like this."

The fat man was stunned. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhao Xiaojing approvingly and stood up.

"The three banquets were indeed my personal idea. I was only thinking about getting the highest score and winning first place, which would have given the entire team extra points. I didn't take everyone's true feelings into consideration, which was indeed a bit inappropriate. But since I've already accepted it, if I regret it now, the entire team will lose points. So I personally plan to go ahead with the three banquets I've already accepted.

I agree with the deputy captain. Since we can't come to any conclusion from the argument, we can all choose our own and split into groups again. Those who agree with Gu Yanghui can express their opinions. You can discuss and choose one or two sets from the remaining banquets. Everyone can directly split into two groups to prepare them and calculate their own scores. That's also fine."

"Who dares to speak out when you say that? Others have ten people making one or two tables, and we are divided into a group with only a few people making one or two tables. Can the quality be the same?" Gu Yanghui said.

"If you just want to argue, then shut up! Don't waste everyone's time because of your own ideas. Although the quality is different, the scores are the same. The fewer people there are, the more points you can get. Isn't that what you want? Or are you not confident and feel that you can't get any points by serving a table?" Mo Feixiang closed his notebook, veins throbbing on his forehead.

"Yeah, just tell me what you want to do. Even if you don't want to do it, we still want to do it. You can't have it all. Don't say that you don't want to listen to the captain's arrangements, but you want to get points by relying on the captain's cooking skills." Nian Fusheng said very rudely.

"If we don't rely on the captain's cooking skills to score points, then why do we choose a captain?" Facing the group attack, Gu Yanghui avoided the main issue.

Zhao Xiaojing frowned and stared at Gu Yanghui. It seemed that this man had already broken off relations with everyone and decided to go all out. Taking advantage of everyone's anxiety, he started to act like a rogue.

While she was thinking of a countermeasure, the fat man opposite winked at her.

?

Zhao Xiaojing stared over.

What's the meaning?

"You have a point. If we don't rely on the captain's cooking skills to score points, what's the point of electing a captain?" The fat man said with a hypocritical smile, "Well, I can also prepare the banquet you choose. You can rely on my cooking skills to score points. You can even rely on someone else's cooking skills if you want. It's all up to us as long as we agree.

However, if you're relying on someone to score points, you have to give them points accordingly. I don't want more either. Using Jiangnan Hundred Flower Chicken as a benchmark, if it's on my menu, I'll make you an extra portion, and give me eight points. Of course, if it's not as challenging as Jiangnan Hundred Flower Chicken, five points will suffice. I promise to make it perfectly for you and won't discriminate. The same goes for the deputy captain. You can use her ingredients and her marinade if you want, but you'll have to pay points for anything you do.

As for the others, since you feel I'm tyrannical, I won't interfere with your points allocation or partnership rights. You can discuss this among yourselves. There's only one thing: once we agree on this, we can't go back on our word. Time is limited, so let's all bear witness. When the points are divided, I won't take a single cent from you beyond what you promised to pay me. Similarly, I don't need your help here, so don't even think about taking a single cent from me.

Gu Yanghui's eyes rolled around and his expression changed several times.

"Well, the deputy captain and I will go out. You think about it carefully, and everyone else think about it carefully too. Remember, this is your only chance." The fat man said with his hands behind his back in the demeanor of a master, and signaled Zhao Xiaojing with his eyes before walking out the door.

Zhao Xiaojing followed in a daze.

"Sister, was I handsome just now?" As soon as he left the hall, the fat man went back to show off to Zhao Xiaojing with a smile.

The master's demeanor disappeared in an instant.

"Handsome." After a while, Zhao Xiaojing replied with difficulty.
