Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 537 - : Mom, You Are Right

Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Mom, You Are Right

The screen constantly displayed blue sky, white clouds, and flying birds, creating a visual deception.

If you don’t look closely, it’s hard to see that the sky in the distance is actually fake.

To achieve this, the cost of the high-definition screens alone was quite a bit, as they had to cover the entire sports stadium.

Furthermore, they had to remodel the stadium while making it convincing enough not to raise suspicions among the contestants.

From the way the contestants looked around when they got off the bus, these modifications seemed to have fooled their eyes.

Just these alone made it hard to imagine how much money the Pingla Group had invested.

When the audience arrived at the ticket checkpoint outside the stadium, they were surprised to find that their seating was inside the stadium itself.

When they found their seats and looked down, they were utterly astonished.

Pingla had practically moved a small jungle into the sports stadium.

Such grand and majestic scenes left the audience in awe.

At the same time, they were also amazed at Pingla’s financial capabilities.

Reaching such an astonishing degree!

The Cooking Competition, after all, was not like those reality shows starring celebrities, so the audience range was smaller.

Yet, for such a competition, Pingla had invested so much money!

This was an unimaginable astronomical figure for the audience!

Even those TV stations with strong capital would not be willing to invest so much money to build a stage like this for their celebrity reality shows!

And yet for Pingla, today it was just a cooking competition.

They really went all out!

It was clear that today’s event would lose money.

Even the most expensive tickets were limited in number.

Taking into account ticket sales, live broadcast revenue, advertising revenue, and so on, it probably wouldn’t even come close to covering today’s expenses!

Has Pingla gone crazy?

Throwing money around like there’s no tomorrow!

“Hahahaha! Thank God I got tickets to today’s event! I originally came just for the contestant drama and to see Adrian Zhekova. I didn’t expect the venue to be so spectacular! It’s way more worthwhile than watching Adrian Zhekova!”

“Oh my God! This is amazing! The scene is so overwhelming. I can’t find any other words to describe it except ‘Wow!’”

“It’s my fault for not studying Chinese well back in school. Now I can only say ‘Wow!’ and ‘Awesome!’.” The audience said blankly.

Netizens watching the live broadcast at home were regretful and frustrated.

“Why didn’t I get tickets, why?! Watching such a scene for just a few hundred dollars is so worth it! It’s way more worthwhile than watching a celebrity concert!”

“Forget about celebrity concerts; it’s more worthwhile than any live performance! I’ve never seen such an operation before! Pingla is so amazing.”

“Pingla Group! Just because you’re rich, you can show off like this? Yes, you really can.”

“I hate it! Why am I not at the event?”

“I got a ticket before, but I became a scalper and sold it at a markup. If I had known, I wouldn’t have sold it!”

“Pingla, you are so unkind! You didn’t reveal any information about this huge investment for this round of competition!”

“Ah, I don’t know what the next round will be like; I’m looking forward to it more and more.”

“No matter what the next round is like, I will do whatever it takes to get tickets and go watch it. If I can’t get them, I’ll buy them from scalpers, but I have to see it.”

Not to mention the audience.

Even the four elders of the Zhekova family were shocked by the scale of the event, despite having seen numerous grandiose sights in their lives.

Maverick Zhekova had a hunch that it must have been Adrian Zhekova who did this for Cindy Clarke.

He asked Adrian, “You can’t say you didn’t know about this, can you?”

He was pretending not to know about the competition rules at the family mansion earlier.

What a lie!

Adrian Zhekova touched his nose and said, “Since Cindy didn’t want to know, I had to cooperate with her and pretend I didn’t know either.”

“Alright, now that Cindy is not here, you might as well tell us the truth.” Maverick Zhekova said.

Seeing Adrian Zhekova put so much effort into this for Cindy, Maverick Zhekova suddenly felt a sense of crisis. fгeewebnovёl.com

What if Victoria Wheeler compared him to Adrian Zhekova and found him inferior in what he’s done for their son?

Maverick Zhekova felt that he needed to find an opportunity to talk to Adrian Zhekova properly.

When it comes to showing off love, don’t go overboard.

Just right is enough!

At least, give him a way out.

“Actually, they had planned this round of competition a long time ago. Originally, they really intended to send the contestants to the wilderness. But that would increase the risk, especially with little Cindy involved,” said Adrian Zhekova.

“Any possibility of putting Cindy in danger must be eliminated. But, this plan is quite good. To ensure the safety of the contestants as much as possible, we borrowed the sports stadium from Sonny.”

“Sonny didn’t charge us. Though the money saved in the overall investment is just a drop in the bucket, every little bit helps.” Just because we’re rich doesn’t mean we can waste money, right?

“To protect the turf, we added an extra layer on top and moved soil, plants, and so on to create an artificial environment,” Adrian Zhekova explained.

“In order to deceive the contestants’ eyes to the greatest extent possible, we added screens around the simulated jungle,” Adrian Zhekova continued, “This way, if something goes wrong with the contestants, the organizers can respond immediately and ensure their safety as much as possible.”

“Simulating a jungle environment for the contestants to compete in while the audience can watch live is a win-win situation. In addition, it serves as a promotion for Pingla. After all, no one else has made such a grand gesture, especially for the sake of the contestants’ safety.”

“The stadium has limited space, and the contestants will discover the truth sooner or later. I estimate they won’t need to wait until the end of the competition; they’ll find out as they explore the jungle in the middle.” Adrian Zhekova said.

“At that time, Grace Green will come out and explain the intention behind the design,” said Adrian Zhekova. “The audience will see that the competition has gone to such lengths just to ensure the contestants’ safety, which will leave a very good impression of Pingla.”

“This will also benefit our brand promotion,” Adrian Zhekova added. “Of course, these benefits are just incidental. The primary goal is still to ensure the contestants’ safety.”

Otherwise, if it were just for the sake of promotion, Pingla would have never invested so heavily.

Maverick Zhekova nodded.

Victoria Wheeler said, “But I can see that Cindy is about to find out.”

“The competition has just begun, and they’ve already discovered the truth. Is this a failure?” Victoria Wheeler looked gleefully at Adrian Zhekova.

Adrian Zhekova rubbed his temples and said helplessly, “Mom, this is our family’s investment, please don’t be so happy.”

“I’m proud of my smart daughter-in-law,” Victoria Wheeler quickly replied.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

He couldn’t deny that.

“Mom, you’re right.” Adrian Zhekova never thought there would come a day when he’d say those words.
