Seeing the chaos at the scene, several security personnel immediately came over to maintain order.

"Stop arguing, what's going on?"

The lead security guard stepped forward, trying to quiet everyone down.

Seeing that someone had arrived, the group of customers who were leading the group became even more excited.

"You're from the organizers, right? Look at your contestants. They just bought a steak and they've already reduced the price by more than half. We're asking them to refund the difference. Is that too much to ask?"

"I only spent less than two hours, and I wasted several hundred yuan."

"I could tolerate the price drop even slightly, but I bought it for 129 yuan, and now it's only 52 yuan per piece on average. Isn't this just treating us like monkeys?"

"No, we just want a refund. What do you suggest we do?"

Seeing the enthusiastic customers, the security guard in charge was at his wit's end.

Price reductions due to competition are actually quite common.

He hadn't expected Xie Wei to drop so much.

There's no law against lowering prices for this kind of thing; the only approach is to try to resolve it from a moral standpoint.

"You must be the shop owner. What are your thoughts now?" He felt it was better not to rack his brains over this kind of thing and just ask the person in charge for their opinion.

Faced with so many people's condemnation, Xie Wei lowered his voice by half.

"How about I give another discount to those who just bought steaks?" he tried to ask for their opinions in a low voice.

He didn't want to issue a refund, since it involved too much money and would take a lot of time.

"No, you must get a refund."

"I already bought so many steaks for lunch today and ate them all. What's the use of giving me this crappy discount now? I just want the money."

People were not satisfied with his proposal.

And they seemed even more excited.

Seeing that things couldn't continue like this, the security personnel quickly suggested, "How about I ask Mr. Wu for his opinion?"

Wu Zhengchuan is the organizer of this food festival, and he is also known for his impartiality and integrity.

During last year's food festival, a contestant's failure to meet hygiene and safety standards caused some people to get diarrhea.

When Wu Zhengchuan found out, he immediately kicked the contestant out of the food festival competition and made it public, demanding that he never set foot in the catering industry again.

This move was well received by everyone.

I admired him even more.

If he were to speak, those present would naturally have no objections.

Upon hearing the security personnel's suggestion, everyone agreed.

Upon seeing this, he immediately dialed the organizer's backstage office...
