Chapter 389: The Route of Tricking People
The contestants in the live broadcast hall fell silent again, and their eyes quickly moved down from the first row.
Zhao Xiaojing was also following along, reading ten lines at a glance, but when she got to the twelfth line she saw her name. She then looked at the information carefully 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 1th, with 2 other contestants ahead of her who also received full votes.
Is it so easy to get full tickets this time?
"No more? Why is my name not on the list? Why is there only this many on the list?"
"No, that means no one advanced. Didn't you see the list of people who advanced written on his forehead? Only fifty people advanced!"
"Fifty people advanced, and twelve people voted unanimously? What kind of judges are these?!"
“These are all connections!”
"That's right, one judge only gets three votes. Wasn't this 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? The full votes show that they are talented. You are just sour grapes!"
"That's right, isn't it just that you didn't advance? You don't know what others did, but you should know what you did. It was broadcast live to you, but you still suspect that others were manipulating it behind the scenes. That's the level of yours. You lose, but you lose the game! I was eliminated, but I didn't lose face."
"That's right, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Come on, sisters, we won't lose face if we're eliminated. Let's go drink!"
"Add me one!"
Various voices continued to be heard, and the live broadcast hall gradually split into small groups, with arguments and sarcasm coming one after another. Zhao Xiaojing did not join any side, but just silently observed the vote patterns for a while.
The votes for each contestant who advanced were not low, with the lowest number of votes being eleven. However, he was not strictly considered the last one, as there were six other contestants who received eleven votes.
However, it was said that fifty people would be 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 candidates 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 to 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 get 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, 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 tell me which gate it is? 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. There is 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 nobody.
“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 continued for another twenty minutes. It was already three forty when they finally reached the gate. Zhao Xiaojing was just taking out her car keys to start driving when she saw a car driving hurriedly, turning around and preparing to park next to her.
Looking at the driver's seat again, isn't this Guan Yingxia who was in the same round with her in the preliminary round?
She's not going to compete at 4 o'clock, is she? If it's at 4 o'clock, wouldn't she be eliminated if she walked in here?
Zhao Xiaojing was just thinking about it when she saw her backing the car into the parking space with a plate.
"Guan Yingxia!" Zhao Xiaojing didn't care whether she was familiar with him 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 it closes! 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 continue to drive forward, turn right at the 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 said very quickly, pointing in the direction she had just come from.
"There's a parking space over there, go! We're running out of time!"
"Thank you!" Guan Yingxia's eyes moved, and she stepped on the accelerator and immediately 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 encounters a checkpoint and walks through this door will probably be eliminated. I wonder who set up this trap route.
All the way to the restaurant, the evening business has already started. Everyone cheered happily but not unexpectedly when they knew Zhao Xiaojing had advanced again. When they finally arrived at the kitchen, the three chefs who had been impatient asked questions again, and the focus of the topic immediately became the details of the competition and Zhao Xiaojing's dishes. Everyone took a break from their busy schedule and listened with gusto. They also took the time to look at the photos on Zhao Xiaojing's phone. As expected, Wan Yuyue was jealous again and started 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 and watched him cook two dishes before leaving.
Ever since he talked it out with Yun Yongyuan that day and asked him to learn about kitchen management, Yun Yongyuan seemed to be full of strength again. He swept away the previous heaviness, and his products have become stable again. Some of his specialties are even showing signs of breaking 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, the first thing she did was not to work, but to patrol around and see how the three chefs performed that day.
"Hey, why didn't the judges dare to eat it at the beginning?" Zhao Xiaojing heated the oil in a pan. Wan Yuyue took the three fresh vegetables out of the pan while continuing the gossip competition.
"That brother forgot about it because he was watching the game. He didn't say..." Zhao Xiaojing was stunned and couldn't help but become 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.
