The first episode of “Here Comes the God of Chefs!” has a very high popularity. The market for variety shows is only so big, and everyone had to share that one pie for themselves. It was inevitable that this new hot show would touch the monetary interest of other shows.
Cai Yingying’s performance in the second episode made many viewers dissatisfied, and soon there were competitors hidden in the dark who seized this opportunity to discredit the show by manipulating the public opinion.
<Fun Variety Show> V: Watching the first episode, I thought I found a new treasure of a show. I waited patiently for the second episode. I didn’t expect Cai Yingying to make me sick. This Cai Yingying has a bad attitude towards other contestants, and she is extremely careless when cooking. She came out with just a plain pot of stewed winter melon soup, but she was not eliminated in the end. In the episode, you can see that the judges’ comment on her dish was cut off. If there’s no shady dealings behind this, I will broadcast myself doing a handstand during diarrhea!
<Science Fiction Drawing>: I saw that many people were promoting this show, so I was tempted to watch it. I didn’t expect that there would be unfair competition in this. Luckily, I didn’t waste my time watching it.
<Mammoth>: You don’t have to swear so hard.
<Red Agate>: Handstand diarrhea? Possible, but not necessary to be shown, dude.
<Dog-faced Senior>: I was going to watch to see the handsome xiao gege, but I saw Cai Yingying instead. There are so many dramas, it’s off-putting.
<Gulu Gulu>: I also watched it for that xiao gege. If Cai Yingying is not eliminated in the next episode, I will drop this show.
<Little Frog>: I had eaten the dishes of Immortal’s Banquet before, and I liked it very much. I saw the owner of Immortal’s Banquet on this show by chance, so I started to follow it. The show is not bad, and Cai Yingying is indeed very problematic. For the next episode, I hope the showrunner of “God of Chefs!” can explain the situation!
<Pythagorean Theorem>: I hate this kind of behind-the-scenes dealings the most. I no longer watched survival shows because there’s a lot of them, so I changed to gourmet variety shows. I didn’t expect that kind of filth would come here too.
<Grumpy Netizen>: “God of Chefs!” director! Come out and get beaten!
<The Wolf is Coming>: Reject the shady, kick Cai Yingying off the show!
Many such marketing accounts like this popped up on the Internet. Cai Yingying couldn’t sit still seeing the netizens’ comments of her. She planned to gain massive popularity by being controversial, but that means that her “good points” would be highlighted alongside her “bad points”. This definitely wasn’t the situation she wanted to see.
What she wanted is topicality. In her plan, she intentionally behaved arrogantly and badly on the show, but during the recording of the show, one of her kitchen assistants accidentally cut her finger and bled. She immediately expressed concern and told her to rest, and she will do the rest of the work by herself.
Of course, this was discussed beforehand, and her assistant had already agreed. With this plan in mind, the scene would be smooth.
She wants to use these actions to create a tsundere character who was prickly and unreasonable on the surface, but kind and gentle on the inside. With such a contrasting and controversial image, she would make a deeper impression on people.
Although she has been complaining about the ingredients that Zhuang Zhouyang chose, and she seemed very careless during the cooking process; in fact, she still has confidence in the ginseng and winter melon soup she made.
She expected that when the judges commented on her dishes, they would affirm her ability, proving her strength. This would also cause a big reversal and deepen the audience’s impression of her.
But she didn’t expect that all the scenes of her good performance would be cut out later in the show, so that the rich personality she wanted to set up could not be brought out at all, leaving only the disgusting side for the audience to see.
She hastily put on her makeup and asked Jia Sibo to meet at a hotel.
“Miss me?” After closing the hotel door, Jia Sibo put aside his gentlemanly side, and glanced lewdly at Cai Yingying.
Cai Yingying just came out of the shower, wearing only a flimsy one-meter-wide bath towel. Her snow-white thighs and shoulders were exposed, and her eyes were provocative, “If I don’t ask you out, you won’t take the initiative to find me? Are you so afraid of the yellow-faced woman1a degrading euphemism for describing a middle-aged woman, who is no longer “fresh” in your house?”
Jia Sibo went up to hug her waist and brought her into his arms. Hearing Cai Yingying mention his wife, he felt disgusted. “Why are you talking about her?”
If his father hadn’t been rich and could help him in his career, he wouldn’t have married that ugly woman!
“I said something wrong.” Seeing that Jia Sibo was really upset, Cai Yingying changed her words, “We shouldn’t mention other women when we are together.”
……
Cai Yingying made Jia Sibo “happy” before she mentioned what she cared about. “Have you watched the show? Why did you edit me like that in the later stage? I looked so stupid and mean. Many people scolded me. Can you ask the program staff to release the original, unedited footage? Please help me clear my reputation.”
He also watched the show, and he already guessed Cai Yingying’s purpose of looking for him. Jia Sibo lay on the bed, hooked his clothes and took out his mobile phone, “I’ll ask for you.”
Jia Sibo called Han Lele’s brother Han Xingyan. “Hello? Han-zong2I used to tl’d this to “President”, but in fact, this can used for many position, and I don’t know the specifics of these characters. Are they the President? CEO? Director? They all can be called by -zong. So from now, I’ll leave it untranslated., what do you mean by that edit? Are you trying to tear my face?”
They are all businessmen, and there may be cooperation and involvement in the future. At first, Han Xingyan didn’t want to tear this polite facade because of a variety show, so he played the fool. “Jia-zong, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“You surnamed Han3this is a very rude way to refer to someone., don’t pretend to be confused with me,” Jia Sibo snorted and said with a smile, “I told you to let Cai Yingying enter the final, but you don’t agree. Are you deliberately protesting me by editing her this way?”
Han Xingyan was silent for a moment, his tone sounded as if he was genuinely wondering. “Jia-zong, there is really no such thing. I also watched the show. For the sake of the show, there are many scenes recorded that are not needed. Isn’t it true that there are other contestants’ commentary scenes that are edited out? I’m not singling out Cai Yingying.”
Cai Yingying pushed him and reminded, “Final, tell him to let me enter the final.”
Jia Sibo said, “Then give me an answer today, whether Cai Yingying can enter the final.”
Han Xingyan: “I can’t do this. What we want in this program is fairness and justice. Cai Yingying has the strength to pass this round of the competition. We will never let her be eliminated. However, she hasn’t participated in the next round, or the semi-final round, so we will never give her a back door.”
“Don’t talk to me about this, if you don’t agree, I will withdraw my investment immediately.” Jia Sibo threatened, “Even if the first episode is popular, it is not so easy to find new investment right away. Han-zong, you should think this over.”
“Beep……”
The phone was hung up, but Han Xingyan was not as anxious as Jia Sibo expected. Instead, he calmly turned off the call recording button, and cursed out loud, “Fucker!”
He called the person in charge of the show’s promotion and passed the recording to him. “Post this recording on the Internet. The bigger the hype, the better.”
Since this problem couldn’t be solved by a calm discussion, he could only tear off Jia Sibo’s facade and let the world see his disgusting true self.
“Okay, Han-zong, I’ll do it now.”
It didn’t take long for #The Truth behind God of Chefs!# topic to trend.

<Cuckoo>: I’ve wanted to talk about this cheating man for a long time.
<Chicken Eating Rice>: Sure enough, a dog can’t change its diet from eating shit. Once cheated, there will always be a second time.
<Little Chrysanthemum>: So it is like this, I misunderstood the showrunners. This cheating man is dead to me!
<Angry as a Pufferfish>: Cai Yingying get out of “God of Chefs!” A good show is not for you to dirty like this!
<No Mustard>: I heard that Cai Yingying said that she wants to get into the finals unfairly. Fuck her! Disappear as far as you can!
<Tender Meat>: That scumbag threatened to withdraw his investment in the show. If the investment is withdrawn, can the show continue to be broadcast?
<Love to Eat Hotpot>: The showrunners must stick to their bottom line of morality, don’t compromise with them!
<Yuxiang Eggplant>: I am also worried, I finally found a good-looking food variety show.
<Outstanding Appearance>: Don’t stop the broadcast, I still want to watch my xiao gege.
<King of Logic>: Now that this recording has been released, it means that the showrunners are not afraid of Jia Sibo. They should have find a new investor.
“Xing-zong, I have sent the schedule of the meeting to your mailbox.”
In the company, the secretary reported to Xing Lixuan and was ready to go out.
“Wait,” Xing Lixuan called to stop her, “Help me contact the “God of Chefs!” program team and talk to them about sponsorship and investment.”
The secretary was stunned for a moment. She knew that this program was a popular gourmet variety show, and she was watching it. Yu Antong, the Lady Boss, was participating in this program.
‘The content of the latest episode has caused a lot of controversy. Netizens suspect that there was something shady in it. Does Xing-zong want to invest so that his wife will not be affected?’
The secretary felt that she had swallowed a secret candy. Xing-zong’s love for his wife is too much!!
Now that sweetness has turned sour. She felt like she was surrounded by a pile of lemons. She looked and Mr. Xing loved his wife too much! The secretary’s head was surrounded by a pile of lemons. Looking at Xing Lixuan, then she compared him to her own husband. She’s so envious of the Lady Boss!
Many thoughts flashed through the secretary’s mind for a moment, and then she asked with a standard working attitude, “But Xing-zong, it seems that our company does not have kitchen supplies or food items that need to be advertised, what requirements should we put forward when negotiating with the other party?”
“Isn’t the home appliance company we acquired last year just launched a smart refrigerator?” Xing Lixuan thought of a small project he remembered in the corner of his mind. “Just advertise this.”
“Alright, Xing-zong.”
The secretary can now be sure that Xing Lixuan is investing for his wife, otherwise there is no need to spend a large amount of money on such a small project as a small subsidiary’s smart refrigerator.
The secretary thought of something, and asked again, “Then, should I ask them to provide you with a judge’s seat?”
Xing Lixuan closed the pen in his hand. He tapped the table as he thought about this.
He invested in the show because he wanted to gain the right to speak about the show, and prevent them from over-editing and magnifying the interaction between Yu Antong and other contestants. As for the judges’ seat…
If he sat on the judging panel as Yu Antong’s marriage partner and an investor, someone would probably question the unfairness of the show and Yu Antong’s strength.
But even without the interaction between Yu Antong and other contestants, there were still a large number of netizens claiming Yu Antong as their husband or wife, which made him very upset. He really wanted to go on the show to declare his sovereignty and tell everyone that Yu Antong is his wife.
‘If I’m a judge, I’m afraid it will affect Yu Antong badly; If I’m not a judge, then a bunch of people will covet my wife.’
After hesitating for quite some time, he asked the secretary, “Have you watched the show ‘Here Comes the God of Chefs!’?”
“I’m watching. Many employees in our company are watching this show.” The secretary took the opportunity to flatter the Lady Boss, “Madam is doing really well on the show. Every time I watch it, I want to go to the Immortal’s Banquet to have a big meal right away. I really envy you, Xing-zong. You can eat his cooking everyday.”
The secretary’s flattery was accurate. If she praised Xing Lixuan, Xing Lixuan might reprimand her for her attitude. However, she knew that Xing Lixuan would be okay no matter how much she praised Yu Antong. Such is the mindset of a wife-slave.
Xing Lixuan was indeed more comfortable hearing someone praise Yu Antong than hearing others praise him. “If I am on a judge, wouldn’t someone start to question his abilities? Saying that he won because of his backing?”
The secretary understood who the “he” Xing Lixuan was talking about as soon as she heard it. She blurted out, “It’s simple. With Madam’s clear strength, all doubts can be dispelled by going to the Immortal’s Banquet for a meal. “
The secretary added, “Of course there are professional water army or his anti-fans. Those kinds of people will try to smear his name no matter what. But such remarks will be refuted by many people like me, who have eaten the dishes of the Immortal’s Banquet. Our genuine testimonies will prove his immaculate cooking skill.”
Xing Lixuan nodded. Indeed, Yu Antong’s strength can completely silence all doubters.
“You are right,” Xing Lixuan praised.
Xing Lixuan has always been strict with his work, so his praises had been scarce. Today, she got the approval of Xing-zong so easily. Sure enough, it’s right to blow a rainbow fart for the Lady Boss!
The secretary secretly praised her wit inwardly, and confirmed, “So, let them provide you with a judge seat?”
“Yes,” Xing Lixuan said, “Go and contact them.”
