How will the authorities deal with these people?

Jiang Qingyang's gaze swept over the people on the referee's table, his tone icy.

"Remove your referee qualification."

Hearing Lü Jixiao's words, Jiang Qingyang sneered: "Still the same old thing, dismissing people at the drop of a hat. If this kind of punishment was effective, the refereeing problems would probably have been resolved long ago, instead of being so rampant now."

"This is blatant favoritism and corruption in full view of everyone. Even if he is dismissed, he will not be able to participate in refereeing work in Shenzhou. Those who still have a little conscience can at most change careers. With the benefits they receive from foreign capital, they can live a more comfortable life than many people."

"And those without conscience simply change their nationality and continue to live a carefree life in other countries."

"They dare to be so brazen today, they must have received benefits they couldn't refuse."

Lü Jixiao did not refute Jiang Qingyang's words.

From the perspective of ordinary people, this may just be an artistic interaction between countries, but in fact, it is a struggle between countries.

Don't forget that behind the survival of the fittest lies a gamble between capital.

The agreement behind this is unknown to outsiders.

Lin Rui listened to their conversation the whole time but didn't offer any comments.

In fact, there was a fleeting moment when he wanted to take off the judge's badge around his neck, throw it on the table, and then walk away.

Of course, thinking about it is one thing, but it doesn't mean you have to do it.

Because the impact was so severe, Lin Rui clearly understood the gravity of the situation.

After all, this is a live broadcast, and Lin Rui has to consider the consequences. If he quits halfway through the competition, it will inevitably affect himself, as well as Tianrui Entertainment behind him. Even the Xia family, who recommended him to join the judging panel, will be affected.

Lin Rui still remembers that he agreed to serve as a judge because the Xia family promised that it would be a fair and just competition, but the reality disappointed him greatly.

He truly hadn't expected that this seemingly simple competition would be so rife with corruption.

So he secretly made a decision: from now on, he would not give any comments, and would not even utter a single word.

In the following matches, both Lü Jixiao and Jiang Qingyang noticed Lin Rui's attitude but did not point it out.

As for Master Hongyuan and Yin Zhixun, they weren't so bored as to go and stir up trouble for Lin Rui. Since Lin Rui wanted to slack off and be invisible, they were happy for him, so why would they be so foolish as to add fuel to the fire?

…

"What's wrong? You look so gloomy."

The competition officially ended at 7 p.m.

Lin Rui didn't even bother to attend the awards ceremony and went straight backstage, where Changsun Yi and Xia Xianci were already waiting.

"It's nothing, it's just that this event is a little different from what I expected."

Lin Rui shook his head, unwilling to say more.

The couple were both shrewd and immediately guessed Lin Rui's thoughts. Changsun Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, you've just arrived in Lizhou. You'll find out after a while that this is normal."

"But this time it was too obvious."

Xia Xianci was somewhat indignant: "In the past, they wouldn't have dared to be so blatant."

With the World Arts Festival approaching, foreign capital is eyeing the Chinese market.

Changsun Yi frowned slightly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the cultural walls of Lizhou and Sangzhou will be unlocked after the World Arts Conference. At that time, looking at the huge market of hundreds of billions of people in China, which foreign capital wouldn't be envious? Nowadays, foreign capital is adopting a beachhead landing policy in Lizhou. Securing a place as soon as possible will definitely be more beneficial than harmful in the future."

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Lin Rui shook his head: "Come on, let's go to the hotel to get the proposal."
