“Are you all convinced that it’s me?” Iris Doone felt all eyes on her, just like needles on her face.


    “It’s not that we’re convinced, but the video clearly shows it,” said Wesley Gordon coldly.


    “In addition, we will publish the full video on the official website of the majorpetition. The audience can watch andpare for themselves. And also supervise our review results, whether there are any mistakes or omissions. We also wee everyone’s feedback.” Wesley Gordon said to the audience.


    “So far, based on the conclusions drawn from the video, it indeed shows that Iris Doone sabotaged Cindy rke’s ingredients. The organizers should have disqualified Iris Doone from thepetition, but she has already been eliminated in this round, so the organizers can’t disqualify her anymore.” Wesley Gordon was very regretful about this.


    At this moment, he saw Adrian Zhekova stand up in the VIP seat.


    Wesley Gordon stopped talking and looked at Adrian Zhekova.


    Adrian Zhekova then walked out of the VIP area, stepping onto the stage with his long legs.


    The audience’s excitement grew even more.


    In the previous race, Adrian Zhekova had also been on stage.


    It was not a big deal for the audience who were not present, as they could not experience the feeling of being stunned.


    But the audience who were present, especially the girls, were truly captivated by Adrian Zhekova’s stunning appearance.<div>


    This man seemed too incredible to exist in reality.


    He’s just too handsome!


    His every move exudes charisma.


    “I didn’t expect to see Adrian Zhekova on stage in thispetition. I’m so d I bought a ticket! It’s worth it!”


    “Wow, Adrian Zhekova is here too! He has attended two consecutivepetitions, and he has been on stage in both of them.”


    “Every time hees on stage because of something rted to Cindy rke, what should I do? I can’t control myself. I want to imagine a small essay about them.”


    Cindy rke also didn’t expect Adrian Zhekova to suddenlye on stage.


    Iris Doone looked at Adrian Zhekova, somewhat dazed.


    She should be scared. Adrian Zhekovaing up here can’t be a good thing.


    But faced with Adrian Zhekova’s handsome face and his overall temperament,


    Iris Doone couldn’t help but have her heartbeat quicken.


    This should be the closest she has ever been to Adrian Zhekova.


    Iris Doone stared at him, but Adrian Zhekova didn’t even nce at her.


    Adrian Zhekova first looked at Cindy rke, then walked in front of Wesley Gordon, took the microphone from his hand, and faced the audience.


    “Hello everyone, I’m Adrian Zhekova,” Adrian Zhekova began.


    In the previouspetition, he hadn’t taken the microphone to speak.


    As a result, only a few audience members in the front row could hear his voice clearly.


    This time the microphone amplified his voice, and his refreshing and mellow voice instantly spread throughout the venue.<div>


    Young girls’ faces turned red from listening to him.


    “Oh my God, I feel like Adrian Zhekova fulfills all of my fantasies,” a young girl whispered to her friend.


    “His voice in person is even better than in interviews.”


    “He’s much better looking in person than on TV! He’s literally got the face of a god.”<div>


    “As the CEO of the Pin Group, I hereby announce that even though Iris Doone has already been eliminated in thispetition, from now on, anypetition held by the Pin Group, whether it is our Pin Culinary Competition or other futurepetitions, will permanently disqualify Iris Doone from participating, and refuse her entry into any majorpetition under the g of Pin,” Adrian Zhekova said expressionlessly.


    “In addition, all restaurants under the Pin Group will refuse Iris Doone’s admission,” Adrian Zhekova continued.


    In other words, Iris Doone will no longer be able to apply for a job, whether as a head chef, sous-chef, or any other position at any of the Pin Group’s restaurants.


    Iris Doone, being a chef, joined thispetition to make a name for herself, to add a good-looking record to her resume, and even to open a door for herself to enter the high-end restaurants under the Pin Group.


    But now, not to mention opening doors, even the windows have been nailed shut for her.


    Iris Doone finally came to her senses, not caring about seeing Adrian Zhekova causing her heart to beat faster.


    Hearing Adrian Zhekova’s words, her heart had gonepletely cold!


    All the restaurants under the Pin Group will refuse her admission.


    This means that half of the restaurants in the Hearth Nation are off-limits for her job applications.


    Her job opportunities have been directly reduced by more than half.


    However, Iris Doone thinks too simplistically.


    She thought it was just the Pin Group’s restaurants that were refusing her.


    But she failed to realize that in such arge public setting, Adrian Zhekova personally said that he would refuse her admission.<div>


    There are quite a few parties with good rtionships with Pin, who have cooperated with Pin, who want to curry favor with Pin, or who do not want to offend Pin because of various reasons.


    Combined, they may not upy half of the power in the Hearth Nation’s culinary world, but they seriously didn’t leave much room for Iris Doone.


    Anypany with the ambition and capabilities topete and cooperate with Pin and establish a rtionship with them,


    Will not hire Iris Doone for their restaurants.


    They dare not offend Adrian Zhekova, let alone the Big Eight families that Adrian Zhekova belongs to.


    Even if they have no cooperation with Pin, the Big Eight families dominate various industries such asw, healthcare, entertainment, and real estate, and cooperation is always needed.


    As a result, offending Adrian Zhekova because of Iris Doone, and subsequently offending the Big Eight families,


    Who would dare?


    What’s left for Iris Doone to choose are those small restaurants that have no prospects and are nowhere near the Pin Group. Even with hard work, they can’t reach the Pin Group.


    They are so far away that they don’t even have a name in the Pin Group’s mind.


    No one knows about their existence, so it’s natural that they don’t talk about offending or currying favor with them.


    However, Iris Doone came to thepetition with ambition and aspirations.


    How could she be content working in an unknown little restaurant?<div>


    What kind of future is there for her to speak of?


    Yet from now on, this is the only path avable to her.


    However, at this point, Iris Doone’s limited mindset can’t evenprehend this.


    She only felt that half of her path was blocked, not knowing that more than two-thirds of the road was closed off for her.


    In addition to that, her behavior in thispetition has been broadcasted without any concealment.


    The remaining restaurants that don’t mind and would still hire her will have to consider her character issues.


    Hiring her might cause conflicts within the restaurant.


    Various shady practices might make the restaurant filled with strife.


    People go to work to get along well with their colleagues.


    During that process, some people who stir up trouble might be inevitable.


    But when you knowingly hire someone like this, why bother?


    It’s better to avoid it in advance if you know about it.


    “This is a decision made by me, representing the Pin Group.” After finishing, Adrian Zhekova handed the microphone back to Wesley Gordon and returned to his seat in the VIP section.<div>
