The Magnate's Daughter Becomes Hugely Popular on a Farming Reality Show

As the young lady of a top luxury family, Jiang Hexi was sent to a farming reality show to experience life after losing a billion in investments. Accompanying her in farming were four super-rich se...

Chapter 142 Score Control

Yan Jie and Shen Yingyu were speechless at the sight of these four people.

One principle the team has always followed is: the minority submits to the majority.

Despite their impure motives, they still passed the resolution to establish quality inspectors by a single vote, and this position had to be implemented.

Yan Jie, Shen Yingyu, and Liu Yuxi will serve as judges and score the four candidates' speeches to determine who will become mooncake tasters.

Jiang Hexi didn't want to be the first to speak.

She silently got up from the sofa and walked to the seat at the very edge. Before she could even sit down, Yu Xiangwan smacked her on the bottom and said:

“Xi-mei, go back to where you came from. There’s no place for you here.”

"Sister, you can't set a bad example by breaking the rules."

Chu Yang was unhappy that he was the first to speak up after she left, and he protested, "Whoever applied to be a taste tester first should be the first to stand up and speak."

Seeing their "unkindness," Jiang Hexi also acted "unjustly":

“You want fairness, then I will give you fairness. We will draw lots to determine the order of speaking, so that no one can complain.”

After writing four numbers on a piece of paper, Shen Yingyu crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it into the delivery box, and then pushed the box in front of them.

"Draw lots."

The four people took turns drawing lots, with Chu Yang coming in first, Yu Xiangwan second, Jiang Hexi third, and Zhou Gongqi fourth.

Jiang Hexi smiled and returned to sit on the sofa.

Before the competition began, she looked at Yan Jie sitting opposite her with deep affection. Her unspoken affection made Yan Jie look away and lower his head to avoid suspicion.

Yu Xiangwan knew perfectly well that there was no hope of winning over Yan Jie, and Shen Yingyu was completely unyielding; she could only place her hopes on Liu Yuxi.

"Yu Xi, I heard you had insomnia before. I have some hypnotic incense. Go to my room and get it after you go upstairs."

"Thank you, Wanwan," Liu Yuxi said gratefully with a smile.

Chu Yang couldn't stand to suffer even the slightest loss. Seeing Yu Xiangwan campaigning for votes, he immediately started thinking about doing the same thing:

"Brother Yu, we've been partners for so long, you know how much I care about food, so I'm asking you for help this time."

Shen Yingyu glared at him, annoyed. How dare he say such things so openly? Even if he wanted to help him, he couldn't.

"Finished? Now start your self-introduction. You have one minute to talk about your advantages as a taste tester."

Chu Yang said with utmost sincerity:

"I have an almost fanatical pursuit of food, which can be seen from my behavior at the dinner table. I love to eat and I can eat the most."

"Although the work of a taster is delicate, with batches of mooncakes being served and eaten all day long, it takes a big eater to be a taster."

"And I am that big eater."

Shen Yingyu held up the whiteboard, indicating that one minute was up, "Next."

Yu Xiangwan refuted all of Chu Yang's arguments as soon as she opened her mouth:

“Not every batch of mooncakes needs to be tasted. It’s the same batch of mooncakes with fillings and crusts. We’ll pick the ones that weren’t cooked properly to taste. If Chu Yang eats them like this, we’ll be bankrupted by him before we even sell any mooncakes.”

She turned to look at Chu Yang, and their eyes sparked with a lively exchange.

"I believe that the responsibility of a taster is not only to control the taste of mooncakes, but more importantly, to adjust the types of fillings in a timely manner based on market feedback in order to create best-selling mooncake styles and maximize profits."

"And what I'm best at is understanding market trends, thank you."

Jiang Hexi was making cheat sheets in a notebook on the side.

When Shen Yingyu called on her to speak, her first words instantly silenced Yu Xiangwan:

"Based on Wanwan's point of view, I would like to add two more points."

"As everyone knows, the best-selling mooncakes in the country are Cantonese-style mooncakes, and established brands in Shenzhen and Hong Kong are far ahead in sales of Cantonese-style mooncakes. Classics never go out of style. While Wanwan grasps the ever-changing trends of the market, I grasp the most deeply rooted old-fashioned flavors."

"Canglang Village mainly promotes homemade mooncakes, which have the advantage of being different from other mooncakes. They are made by traditional handcrafts and slowly cooked in a traditional earthen oven. We cannot abandon the traditional flavor advantage in pursuit of flavor diversification."

Seeing that there were only ten seconds left on the countdown, she simply killed Zhou Gongqi in one go:

"Duke Zhou should have used his talents to paint murals and design packaging boxes instead of wasting his abilities by tasting mooncakes."

[Xi Mei is on a killing spree, her main goal is to leave no one behind, hahaha.]

The three of them were ruthless, each rubbing salt into the other's wounds, competing to see who could stab the deepest.

Zhou Gongqi was completely innocent. He was sitting obediently on the sofa, neither undermining anyone nor attacking anyone, yet disaster struck him from the sky, leaving him half-dead.

These young people have absolutely no sense of martial ethics.

What Zhou Gongqi said afterward didn't matter anymore, because Xi Mei's words successfully moved the three judges, and no one dared to waste his talent by making him a taste tester.

In the end, Jiang Hexi won with a high score of 28 points and successfully became a mooncake taster, while Liu Yuxi replaced her in the skin control group.

Yu Xiangwan stared at the scores on the whiteboard for a long time, remaining silent without uttering a word.

The live stream camera focused on the question board, where Shen Yingyu and Liu Yuxi gave Jiang Hexi and Yu Xiangwan high scores of nine points respectively, while Yan Jie gave Jiang Hexi ten points and Yu Xiangwan seven points.

Even if Shen Yingyu and Liu Yuxi gave Yu Xiangwan a perfect score of 27, she still couldn't surpass Jiang Hexi, especially since she hadn't even gotten a perfect score yet.

The use of color grading is clearly a way of controlling scores.

The viewers in the live stream were all in an uproar.

[One gets a perfect score, the other a 7 – the King of Yan's differential treatment is too obvious! He's clearly protecting Xi Mei's rise to power.]

Even if Wanwan's performance was poor, she shouldn't have only gotten seven points.

[I've never seen a judge humiliate a contestant like this before! The King of Hell actually gave Xiaobaiyang only three points! Only three points!! He gave Zhou Gong five points. Does he think that way we won't see he's favoring Ximei?]

As a long-time fan of the characters' looks, why do I feel so anxious looking at the scores on the feedback board?

[It would be an injustice if Yanxi and her partner didn't get together! They're so openly showing their affection, why haven't they officially announced it yet? It's driving me crazy!]

Xie Wanyi saw this live broadcast at the film's wrap party.

He was so angry that his lungs hurt, then his breathing hurt, and his whole body ached.

Yan Jie's manipulation of the score and his blatant bullying of Wanwan are simply outrageous.

Xie Wanyi thought of the program's rule of selecting guest stars through online voting.

He posted a Weibo message, tagging all fan clubs and supertopic groups, and said:

My darlings, filming for the movie has wrapped up. I want to go back to farming variety shows. Thanks!
