Chapter 389: The Route of Trick
The players in the live broadcast hall fell silent again, their eyes rapidly moving downwards from the first row.
Zhao Xiaojing was also reading quickly, but when she moved to the twelfth line, she saw her own name. She looked at the information carefully from beginning to end and was a little surprised.
Ranking 1 2, name Zhao Xiaojing, competition area 2, number 3 8, number of votes 1 4.
In other words, Zhao Xiaojing received full votes, but ranked 12th, with eleven other contestants ahead of her who also received full votes.
Is it so easy to get a full ticket this time?
"No more? Why is my name not on the list? Why is there only this many on the list?"
"No, that means you didn't advance. Didn't you see the list of advancers written on your forehead? Only fifty people advanced!"
"Fifty people advanced, and twelve voted unanimously? What kind of judges are these?!"
“These are all connections!”
"Exactly. Each judge gets three votes. Wasn't that agreed upon?!"
"Isn't it disgusting that people with connections are involved in this kind of competition?"
"You didn't advance because you have connections? Didn't you see that the judges were silent and stood far away during the voting? A full vote shows that they are talented. You're really sour grapes!"
"Exactly. Isn't it just that you didn't advance? You don't know what others are doing, but you should at least know what you've done. I've already shown it live to you, and you're still suspecting someone else of manipulation. That's about as good as you can get. Losing is losing, but I'm not losing face! I was eliminated, but I didn't lose face."
"That's right, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Come on, sisters, we can still be eliminated without losing face. Let's go drink!"
“Add me in!”
Various voices continued to be heard, and the live broadcast hall gradually split into small groups, with arguments and sarcastic remarks coming one after another. Zhao Xiaojing did not join any side, but just silently observed the voting patterns for a while.
The number of votes for each contestant who advanced was not low, with the lowest number of votes being eleven, but he was not strictly considered the last one, because there were six other contestants who also received eleven votes.
However, it said that fifty people were promoted out of eight hundred, but the list ended after the forty-eighth person.
Before Zhao Xiaojing could wonder, the picture on the screen started moving again. The blue list of qualified candidates disappeared, and the red list of unqualified candidates appeared and scrolled slowly.
Looking again, it turns out that there is a clear dividing line after eleven votes, and the contestants who received ten votes occupied two full pages of the list.
No wonder there are only forty-eight people. It is better to kill the innocent than let them go.
As soon as the list of those who did not advance and the number of votes were announced, the discussion around them immediately became much louder. Zhao Xiaojing was no longer interested in listening and just walked out following the signs for the back door.
It took only five minutes to walk out of the park. Zhao Xiaojing stood at the door in a daze, looking around for a long time before she realized that this was another gate of the Innovation Industrial Park. There were also signs to guide her, but it was obviously not the one she entered when she came here.
When Zhao Xiaojing read the text message notifying her of the rematch again, it clearly stated, 'After entering the gate, follow the signs to enter the competition area.' She couldn't help but feel depressed.
Could you please specify which gate you're talking about? Does that mean you can enter through any gate, regardless of distance?
"Master, how many doors are there here?" Zhao Xiaojing looked at the door for a long time but couldn't see her car. She could only knock on the door of the booth next to her and ask the security guard.
"There are four, one in each of the east, south, west and north. Which one do you want to go to?"
Four! Zhao Xiaojing once again cursed Bai Tao in her heart for being such a scoundrel.
“Go to the one with the fountain at the entrance, the one with the Innovation Industrial Park logo behind the fountain.”
"Oh, that's the East Gate. Over there, that young man is also looking for the East Gate. He has turned on the navigation. Just follow him." The security guard pointed to the back of a man not far away.
Zhao Xiaojing quickly thanked him and followed.
This took another twenty minutes. It was already three forty when they finally reached the gate. Zhao Xiaojing was taking out her car keys to drive when she saw a car hurriedly approaching, turning around and preparing to park next to her.
Looking at the driver's seat again, isn't that Guan Yingxia who was in the same competition with her in the preliminary round?
She's not going to compete at 4 o'clock, is she? If it's 4 o'clock, wouldn't she be eliminated immediately if she walks in here?
Zhao Xiaojing was just thinking about it when she saw her back the car into the parking space with a plate.
"Guan Yingxia!" Zhao Xiaojing didn't care whether they were familiar or not, and hurried over to knock on the car window. "Are you participating in the four o'clock game?"
"Yes..." Guan Yingxia rolled down the car window, looking a little confused.
"The competition area will be drawn in advance, and the entrance will be closed ten minutes in advance. Now there are only ten minutes left before closing! It is very far to enter from this gate, and it takes more than twenty minutes to walk. By the time you get there, it will be too late and you will be eliminated directly. You keep driving forward, turn right at that corner, and then go straight, you will see the gate on the right, and it only takes five minutes to enter from that gate! But you still have to run faster!" Zhao Xiaojing finished speaking very quickly, pointing in the direction she had just come from.
"There's a parking space over there too, hurry up! We're running out of time!"
"Thank you!" Guan Yingxia's eyes moved, and she stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction Zhao Xiaojing pointed.
Only then did Zhao Xiaojing breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that the setting of Bai Tao's route has not only trapped her. Anyone who comes to the checkpoint and walks through this door will probably be eliminated. I wonder who set up such a tricky route.
By the time they reached the restaurant, the evening service had already begun. Everyone cheered with delight, though not surprise, upon learning that Zhao Xiaojing had advanced again. Finally reaching the kitchen, the three eager chefs peppered the room with questions, their conversation quickly focusing on the details of the competition and Zhao Xiaojing's dishes. Each chef, taking a moment to pause, listened with rapt interest, even taking a moment to look at the photos on Zhao Xiaojing's phone. Unsurprisingly, Wan Yuyue was once again envious and began pestering her to learn how to make sugar water.
Zhao Xiaojing patiently answered all the questions before starting to cook. Before that, she stood next to Yun Yongyuan for a while, watching him cook two dishes before leaving.
Ever since he talked it over with Yun Yongyuan that day and asked him to learn kitchen management, Yun Yongyuan seemed to be full of strength again, sweeping away the previous heaviness. Not only did his production become stable again, but several of his specialties were even about to break through to the second level.
Zhao Xiaojing was naturally very happy. At the same time, in order to avoid similar incidents, every time she arrived at the kitchen, she did not start working, but instead patrolled around to see how the three chefs performed that day.
"Well, why were the judges afraid to eat it at first?" Zhao Xiaojing heated up the oil in a pan. Wan Yuyue took the three fresh vegetables out of the pan while continuing to gossip about the competition.
"That brother forgot about it while watching the game, he didn't say..." Zhao Xiaojing was stunned and couldn't help but feel curious.
What on earth did the judges go through?
"You didn't ask after the game was over!" Wan Yuyue only listened to half of the latest gossip and felt very uncomfortable.
