Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 538: 538: I won’t carry the blame for this pot



Because of the simulated jungle set up on-site, the contestants standing inside were barely visible to the audience sitting in the top rows of the stands.

The rest of the audience could not see them at all.

Moreover, even the audience in the top rows, who were so high and far away,

could only see tiny figures, making it difficult to distinguish who was who, let alone see clearly.

So, even the on-site audience had to rely on the big screen to see clearly.

On the big screen, a close-up shot of Cindy’s face was shown.

Cindy looked around and said, “Don’t you find it strange? We seem to have spent a long time on the way, but actually, we don’t know what route we took.”

“Because the car windows were covered by curtains and we were wearing blindfolds.” Cindy continued, “For what reason did the organizers fear our seeing the scenery outside the window? It’s not like we were being kidnapped, not wanting us to recognize the way.”

“Even if it’s an outdoor competition, there should be no problem taking a look at the journey, right? It doesn’t conflict with where we compete.” Cindy said.

“Moreover, later everyone was asleep and the car was very quiet. I heard the noisy sounds outside the window. It was the sound of cars constantly coming and going on both sides of the road, as well as honking sounds.” Cindy continued.

In the stands, high-level officials of the competition, including Billy Houston, were choked on their own saliva.

“Cough! Cough cough!” Billy Houston coughed violently, choked by saliva, and turned to look at the planning director of the competition.

Planning director: “….”

“Don’t look at me. I’m not taking responsibility for this.” Manager Zhu, the planning director, hurriedly said, “Didn’t you see that no one else guessed it? Only Cindy did, which means it’s not a problem with my planning, it’s Cindy’s problem.”

“Who do you think you are, calling me that?” Billy Houston angrily retorted, as Manager Zhu’s superior!

Was Manager Zhu trying to rebel!

Manager Zhu: “….”

“My bad, my bad.” Was it not because they were responsible for creativity?

Usually, they racked their brains for innovation, creativity, and proposals,

only to have their proposals rejected by Billy Houston here.

Either it was not attractive enough, or the cost was too high.

Manager Zhu was so angry that he wanted to throw the proposal in Billy Houston’s face.

Manager Zhu’s own balding middle-aged hair was due to his job,

always staying up late to think about planning, racking his brains, and eventually, he really thought his head bald.

The demanding work also made him increasingly irritable.

During department meetings, he had also become accustomed to saying “me” a lot.

It just so happened that, in front of Billy Houston, he blurted it out without thinking.

Billy Houston sneered coldly, “You’re saying there’s a problem with Cindy?”

Billy Houston’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was just enough to be heard by the Zhekova family members.

The Zhekova family members all turned their heads to look.

The Old Master, Old Madam, Morgan Zhekova, Maverick Zhekova, Victoria Wheeler, and Adrian Zhekova were all in attendance.

Their heads turned neatly, looking at Manager Zhu.

Although they varied in size, their gazes were all equally sharp.

Manager Zhu shuddered and cursed in his heart that Billy Houston was heartless!

“No! I mean, Cindy is too smart!” Manager Zhu quickly explained, “No one else thought about it, so how could Cindy have guessed it as soon as she got off the bus? How can I go on with my job after this?”

“I expected the contestants to find out, but I didn’t expect Cindy to find out so early! The competition hasn’t even officially started yet!” Manager Zhu said, frustrated and helpless, “Cindy is too smart; how can we continue our planning work in the future? If we come up with another idea, she’ll just crack it again.”

“No need to blame yourself.” Adrian Zhekova finally spoke up, “You’re right. No one else noticed, only our Cindy. That means it’s not a problem with your planning. Since no one else noticed, your planning is fine.”

“Our Cindy is just too outstanding, too smart, and too excellent. Her excellence and intelligence are far above everyone else.” Adrian Zhekova said.

Manager Zhu: “….”

He was being praised so much that his teeth were aching.

“In fact, when it comes down to it, your IQ doesn’t even compare to hers.” Adrian Zhekova continued.

Manager Zhu: “….”

Alright, as long as they don’t fault his planning or blame his work mistakes, they can say anything else they want about him.

So what if they look down on his IQ?

In front of the Future CEO’s Wife, what does it matter to be looked down upon in IQ!

“CEO, you are right!” Manager Zhu sighed in relief, “Now I can rest assured.”

At this time, the big screen showed Cindy saying, “If our bus was really headed to the wilderness, it would be normal to hear noisy sounds along the way when starting from the city.”

“But as we approached the wilderness, the journey should be quieter, and there should be fewer cars.” Cindy said, “But even later on, the sounds outside the car were still noisy. I even heard the sounds of an event taking place outside a shopping mall, the host speaking through a microphone, stirring up the atmosphere.”

“You picked up on all that?” Leon Hernandez was so surprised that his eyes were wide open.

“You all were asleep, so you probably didn’t hear it.” Cindy explained, “I felt it was strange and not quite in line with what Ms. Green told us, so I listened carefully.”

“I didn’t tell you right away because I wasn’t sure, I just felt it was a bit strange in my heart. I thought I’d just check it out when we got to the destination.” Cindy explained further.

“If it was truly in the wilderness, then my previous suspicions would be just me overthinking.” Cindy said, “But now that I see this environment, I’m even more suspicious.”

“I recalled the route we took earlier; from beginning to end, the surrounding noises never stopped. And I could vaguely hear the name of the mall the event was taking place outside of. It was the Wells Shopping Center not far from the sports stadium.” Cindy explained.

She counted on her fingers: “I remember it clearly. I heard the mall event host’s voice twice. Not two times in a row.”

“Since my eyes were closed, I couldn’t accurately judge how long it was between the two times. In my own judgement, the time was continuous.” Cindy said, “So, I suspect that the bus was driving us around in circles in the city. I don’t know if it was due to traffic jams or what, but it stopped several times in the middle.”

As Cindy analyzed the situation, the live audience and viewers watching the live stream on the Internet were dumbfounded.

“Just based on these clues, Cindy has analyzed so much?” A live audience member said to their friend.
