With thousands of contestants waiting for the judges to appear, it's no wonder they're getting impatient and frustrated.
Especially the foreign participants, who are already fond of Chinese food culture, have been practicing their culinary skills diligently for this grand event, and some of them are already exhausted.
"Is this how you Chinese treat your guests?"
"Our dishes are all ready and about to get cold, why isn't anyone leaving a review?"
"I really regret attending this event and wasting my precious time."
The staff panicked, but the venue was too big. They couldn't appease everyone, and even the security personnel had to be called in.
When everyone is extremely busy, they only remember to report to their superiors.
A group of staff members ran towards the general office.
The door to the general office was ajar, and the staff members pushed it open and went in without thinking.
It stinks!
A faint yellow smoke filled the office. The staff quickly covered their mouths and noses, but their eyes were irritated and turned red, and tears streamed down their faces.
Then they saw their boss, Kong Xinlin, squatting on the ground rubbing his heels.
Kong Xinlin seemed to have found a savior, because he noticed that as soon as this group of people came in, he stopped slapping his heel.
It stinks! Even he couldn't stand it.
"Quick, let's go outside and talk."
Kong Xinlin seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who created the yellow smoke filling the entire office; all he wanted to do now was escape this disaster scene as quickly as possible.
After coming out, he took several deep breaths of fresh air.
"You've come at the right time. Thank goodness you arrived just in time. Tell me what you need me for?"
"Director Kong, this is terrible! There's an uproar outside! The contestants are going crazy!"
"The contestants were furious because the judges were slow to give them their feedback and scores."
"There's only half an hour left before the audition ends, what should we do?"
Kong Xinlin was stunned; such a thing had never happened before.
He squinted, wondering where all the judges had gone.
Guzheng! That's right, it was the music of the guzheng that drew them in that direction, and that direction was the competition venue for those two troublemakers, Ye Zhongnan and his sister.
"I know where the judges are. Everyone, come with me."
The staff, as if they had found a lifeline, ran after Kong Xinlin.
They quickly ran to the pillar, and they heard loud laughter coming from behind it.
"Wow, how did this pillar turn into rocks?" Kong Xinlin realized that there was more to it than met the eye.
He led his staff around the pillar.
Then they were immediately stunned; it turned out that all the judges were here, mingling with everyone.
The judges had already tasted the previous dishes, and the plates on the table were full of leftovers. Now they were each enjoying a bowl of boiled cabbage in clear broth.
Kong Xinlin's pupils dilated in shock: These brother and sister are amazing! They actually managed to decorate this dark corner into a hidden paradise!
The aroma of the dish made his stomach rumble with hunger.
But reason told him that what was most important now was to do something else.
"Teacher Zhang! What are you doing here? Hurry up, there's a huge commotion outside, and you haven't gone to grade the papers yet."
Kong Xinlin stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the chief judge, Zhang Zhe.
Zhang Zhe was lost in a state of extraordinary bliss when Kong Xinlin abruptly interrupted him.
