Chapter 10 Comparison (Correction) "He kept several lions as pets..."

[Disease progression: 94.2%]

Even without the system's explanation, Ye Hantao knew that this was a persona of lying.

The other people present had various expressions.

Liao Jiayue glanced at Jin Shiyue without leaving a trace, waiting expectantly for Jin Shiyue to make sarcastic remarks about Ye Hantao.

After Jin Shiyue makes a couple of sarcastic remarks, she can then step in to speak up for Ye Hantao, thus gaining a good reputation by stepping on both Jin Shiyue and Ye Hantao.

Liao Jiayue was surprised by this glance.

Jin Shiyue's phoenix eyes showed surprise but no anger, let alone contempt.

Jin Shiyue looked at Ye Hantao with curiosity, just like she was seeing her for the first time.

How could this person so openly admit that her family uses fake bags? Isn't she afraid of being ridiculed by everyone?

Kim Si-wol doesn't judge people by their appearance.

It was the bag she was carrying that was actually released last year, although the same model with a larger capacity was not available for sale.

Only a select few VIPs at the very top of the pyramid can enjoy this privilege.

She has been involved in the fashion industry for many years and has some connections.

Among the six distinguished guests were two Chinese, both prominent figures featured in world magazines.

The younger generation of these two individuals has also been photographed by the media, and it is definitely not Ye Hantao.

Ye Weizheng flipped over and sat up in bed.

He was stunned. "Tao Tao recognized her?"

"You're so easily startled." Zhou Ti peeled and ate grapes slowly. "Our bags are all fakes that cost a hundred or so yuan. How can you tell the difference?"

Ye Weizheng was enlightened by Zhou Ti and paused for a moment before saying, "You're right."

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, all those bags in their house would be fake!

Zhou Ti wasn't worried at all that Tao Tao would recognize her.

You should know that at the company where she worked part-time, there were colleagues who had worked there for many years who were gossiping about her behind her back, saying that she carried a fake bag.

She was indeed not on the circulating "list of honored guests," so in a sense, there was really no clear path for this package.

My phone buzzed a few times while I was on the bed.

Zhou Ti, her hands smeared with grape juice, raised her chin and said, "Take a look."

"Sent by Chloe..."

Zhou Ti glanced down: [Chloe: Boss, all the posts from Xingyu Entertainment's marketing accounts have been compiled and sent to your email.]

After a morning of live streaming, if they still can't see Liao Jiayue's true intentions, then all their more than twenty years of hard work in the business world will have been for nothing.

The problem is, even if they figured it out, what good would it do? They couldn't use their connections to help Tao.

Even when investigating Liao Jiayue's agency, they had to use the names of other artists from their own film and television company.

Ye Weizheng felt a tightness in his chest.

When Tao Tao was in the first year of junior high school, she was blackmailed by a young punk with blond hair. Ming Sheng stepped in and beat him up.

That same day, the young blond-haired man used his uncle's connections at the police station to get Ming Sheng arrested.

He and his wife found another family that had been harmed by the young man with yellow hair, helped them get rid of the young man with yellow hair and his uncle, and indirectly rescued Ming Sheng.

Even so, Tao Tao's joints started to hurt that very night.

His condition worsened over time, and he almost didn't make it out of the ICU.

After years of trial and error, they have probably figured it out.

As long as this person harbors resentment towards Tao Tao, Tao Tao's health will deteriorate after he/she is directly or indirectly suppressed by his/her family.

Ye Weizheng shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and continued watching the live stream.

"You said you have the same bag at home..." Ji Changtu turned the empty teacup upside down on the table, "Why don't you bring it out for everyone to see next time?"

Wow! That's really bold!

[Hahaha, Ye Hantao was so picky about both the tea and the jade pendant, Boss Ji caught her red-handed!]

[srds I feel he looks greasy...]

[Are some blind fans of Ye Han's looks really supporting this group?]

[Why are you nitpicking? Ye Hantao will just say it's inconvenient to bring it later, hahaha. It would be so embarrassing to bring a high-quality fake.]

High-quality replica? More like a low-quality replica!

【Are you guys going to make a big deal out of this? I don't even recognize the brand and I've bought counterfeit goods online before. If you're going to criticize, criticize the shops that sell counterfeit goods, okay?】

The chat room was filled with arguments, but no one disagreed on one point: Ye Hantao would never agree to bring the bag over.

So Ye Hantao spoke up, "Okay, okay, I'll bring it over during the next recording."

If she could teleport, she would have already brought her bag from home and couldn't wait to get there.

Ji Changtu: "?"

Is this person so stupid that they don't know the price of a genuine product?

[Subscribed to the live stream! Be sure to tune in next time to "observe" Ye Hantao's fake bags, hahaha!]

With this mindset, you'll succeed at anything.

[If I had Ye Hantao's thick skin, I would have been such a happy little girl when my roommate pointed out that I was wearing fake Miu Miu.]

Ye Hantao had been observing the pink bag for so long, so of course she knew her mother had bought a counterfeit.

But it is precisely because it is a counterfeit that it has the opportunity to capture the essence of "vanity," "competition," and "lying" when used for recording a TV show.

hey-hey.

The little devil inside me is laughing hysterically with his hands on his hips.

Ye Weizheng looked at Zhou Ti with a longing expression, "Why aren't you eating grapes anymore?"

Zhou Ti: "..."

The director sensed that something was off and, remembering that Ye Hantao still called him "teacher," spoke up to bring the process back on track.

"Stop, stop, stop! Maintain classroom discipline! Let's seriously run for class monitor." Seeing that no one raised their hand, he continued, "We're all classmates, so we can recommend each other."

Ji Changtu and Yuan Kai drank their tea amongst themselves, not wanting to participate.

Wu Xia became an invisible man.

Su Yi'ang looked left and right, torn between whether or not to go all out.

After a moment of silence, a soft voice rang out, "How about letting Tao Tao give it a try?"

As soon as Liao Jiayue finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Hantao.

"When we were in junior high, Tao Tao was our class monitor." Liao Jiayue gazed tenderly at Ye Hantao, a smile playing on her lips, as if she were lost in beautiful memories. "Back then, everyone in the class liked Tao Tao."

When Ji Changtu noticed the bewilderment on Ye Hantao's face, he picked up his teacup, lowered his head to sip his tea, and concealed the sneer on his lips. Although there were four ordinary people present, everyone knew perfectly well that Ye Hantao's influence was the lowest among them.

He scoffed inwardly at the idea of ​​appointing someone like that as class monitor.

[Huh? Why did Liao Jiayue recommend Ye Hantao? It's a thankless and arduous job.]

[It's often thankless and difficult for famous people to be class monitor, but for someone like Ye Hantao, a complete novice who just wants to become famous, being class monitor would be incredibly useful.]

[Yueyue has done everything she could; whoever becomes class monitor will get plenty of screen time for the next two months.]

[Not just a lot, but also a lot of topics.]

Ji Changtu put down his teacup and looked back at Ye Hantao, who had not yet responded.

He was actually quite interested in becoming the class monitor, as he could take the opportunity to build closer relationships with others while conveying the program's rules and tasks to them.

Artists like Liao Jiayue, Jin Shiyue, and Su Yiang all have huge fan bases, and even Wu Xia has millions of fans.

If he can persuade his fans to come to the tea shop to buy tea, he won't have to worry about sales for a while.

Thinking of this, Ji Changtu sat there with his pregnant belly, calmly waiting for Ye Hantao to hurriedly refuse.

When the time comes, he can stand up again and reluctantly offer to help the younger generation, which will also convince netizens that he doesn't care about Ye Hantao's previous "nitpicking".

A gentle breeze blows under the flower trellis.

Under the gazes of everyone, Ye Hantao touched the back of her neck and said, "I could be the class monitor."

"?!" Ji Changtu suddenly looked up.

“However… I’ve been class monitor for over ten years.” Ye Hantao rubbed the pink beaded bracelet on her wrist and spoke again, “Don’t you guys want to try being class monitor?”

She thought being a class monitor was quite interesting, especially since the story mentioned that the class monitor could set up punishment methods.

[Disease progression: 94%]

"Netizens say you're afraid of being class monitor, but you're pretending to genuinely care about others." After explaining, the system concluded, "You've completely adapted to the control group persona. I'll come back when the series begins."

Ye Hantao was completely unprepared for the system's departure, and her expression was blank for a moment.

She called out in her mind several times but received no response, and immediately felt frustrated.

If I had known the system was leaving, I would have said goodbye in advance.

This expression drew laughter from the viewers in the live stream.

[Such a stubborn lie, hahaha, I'd be the class monitor though!]

[He didn't have the guts to be class monitor and wouldn't admit it, so he pretended to do favors, but now that everyone's ignoring him, he's backfired!]

Is this variety show really unscripted? Did Ye Hantao get the "annoying character" role?

Compared to Yueyue, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent.

Ji Changtu shared similar thoughts with the audience, and his anxiety subsided.

His bald head gleamed faintly in the sunlight. He offered a seemingly considerate reassurance, "If you're confident you can be a good class monitor, then be one. Let us see what an outstanding class monitor in junior high looks like."

Su Yi'ang was oblivious and hadn't thought that far ahead. After hearing Ye Hantao say that she could be the class monitor, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Tao Tao, if you're the class monitor, I'll definitely cooperate with you!"

“You don’t need to panic if you don’t do it well.” Yuan Kai’s eyes flashed. “If you don’t understand something, just ask me.”

Ji Changtu's lips twitched, and his fingers tightened around the teacup.

He said that to put pressure on Ye Hantao and force her to refuse to be the class monitor, but is Su Yi'ang out of his mind? Does he really believe that Ye Hantao is capable of being the class monitor?

And Yuan Kai, has he become addicted to pretending to be a nice guy in the industry?

With them involved, Ye Hantao couldn't bring herself to refuse, no matter how much pressure she felt.

Ye Hantao was quite certain that none of the three of them intended to try to become class monitor, so she looked for others, "Sister Shi Yue, Teacher He Qiang, Wu Xia, where are you three?"

Wu Xia's eyelids drooped, and he said succinctly, "No."

“Not interested,” He Qiang said.

Jin Shiyue completely ignored the question.

Liao Jiayue realized that Ye Hantao was being controlled, otherwise how could she have even dared to ask Jin Shiyue?

She frowned with worry. "Tao Tao, what's troubling you? Or are you afraid you won't be able to control her?"

How can I not be afraid? I can let the others go, but can Jin Shiyue be controlled?

Damn, Jin Shiyue has already been giving Ye Hantao a look, and it's all scrutiny and assessment.

[Haha, that shows she has self-awareness.]

"What's there to be afraid of in being class monitor?" Ye Hantao asked, puzzled. Since no one else wanted to try, she raised her hand and declared firmly, "Teacher, I'll be the class monitor for the next three days!"

Just then, the director's phone rang.

"Everyone, wait a moment!" The director gestured downwards, "Another one of your classmates is calling."

The production crew pushed over an external monitor, which clearly displayed the director's phone screen.

Once the monitor was in place, Liao Jiayue raised her hand to smooth her hair, her smile a gentle and intellectual one that she had practiced many times in front of the mirror.

In the original novel, the female lead won the Best Actress award three years later.

In the previous three years, both actresses won the Best Actress award for their roles in Chen Xiaofeng's films.

Now that I'm here, I should shine brighter than any fictional heroine.

The director stood by the screen, pressed the call button, and shouted while turning his head: "Chen, it's me—ah?!?!?!?!"

In the dim light of the sky, a giant lion's face suddenly loomed onto the screen.

Its thick, long mane stood on end, and its threatening beastly eyes stared intently at him.

They were so close that it felt like they could leap through the screen and pounce on everyone.

Caught off guard, the director staggered backward after squeezing out a distorted, broken voice.

Midway through, he was fortunately caught by a hand reaching out from behind, preventing him from hitting the edge of the stone table.

"Thank you..." The director turned his head and saw that it was Ye Hantao who was supporting him. He steadied himself and said, "Thank you."

The stone table where Ye Hantao and the others were sitting was almost a meter away from the screen. Although they were startled, they weren't too frightened.

She scrutinized the enlarged lion's face on the screen, keeping in mind her pretentious persona: "Its mane is black and shiny, and it looks like it's four or five years old." Sigh, if she didn't know more, she couldn't continue showing off.

[Disease progression: 93.8%]

Isn't this just a way to get Chen Xiaofeng's attention?

[The bag is the same as when Jin Shiyue first arrived; this little girl has two faces.]

A lazy voice answered from the other end of the screen, "Four years and seven months."

Immediately, the owner of the voice said impatiently, "Chen Xiaofeng, go away and make this call."

The camera pans, and in front of a vast grassland bathed in the pink and orange glow of the sunset, a dark face flashes into the frame.

His shoulder-length hair was tied into a messy little bun, and his chin was covered in dark stubble, giving him an overall unkempt and sloppy appearance.

"Hey, hey, hey, who scared you just now?" Chen Xiaofeng's loud voice boomed, "Could it have been our super brave Director Wan? I just saw you almost fall!"

Director Wan patted his chest to calm himself down, exclaiming dramatically, "I almost had a heart attack."

Chen Xiaofeng grinned, not believing him at all.

Last time, he was tricked by Director Wan into eating canned herring mixed with houttuynia cordata on a variety show, a memory he will never forget!

Hahaha, revenge has been served!

【Aaaaaaaah, bro! You've not only gotten darker, you look so much older!!!】

[He even managed to make Ralph Lauren look like a homeless person (crying.jpg)]

Is Lao Chen abroad? It looks like it's around five or six in the morning.

[His Weibo IP address is in K country, but he's somehow ended up in Africa.]

Want to go to Africa to see the Great Migration?

Liao Jiayue quickly scanned Ye Hantao's pretty face, then looked at Chen Xiaofeng in the video, and suddenly asked, "Taotao, do you even know the age of lions?"

In the storyline, the control group wants to get close to Chen Xiaofeng to film a movie.

Ye Hantao is prettier than her high school classmate. What if Chen Xiaofeng really takes a liking to Ye Hantao?

She had to completely destroy Ye Hantao's image in Chen Xiaofeng's mind.

Ye Hantao hummed in response, "I wouldn't say I know much about it."

Audience: 【！！！】

[Who understands this? This is the first time I've seen Ye Hantao so humble!]

Immediately afterwards, Ye Hantao raised her chin and said proudly, "My uncle knows more about this; he raises lions."

Because her uncle works at the zoo, he always gets employee discounts, so she's never had to pay for a trip to the zoo since she was a child. Her uncle is really something.

Su Yi'ang blurted out, "Your uncle actually keeps a lion as a pet?!"

His mouth speaks faster than his brain; his brain only starts working after he finishes speaking.

Tao Tao's statement about raising lions is more likely referring to her working as a lion keeper in a zoo.

Just as Su Yi'ang was about to make amends, he saw a gleam in Ye Hantao's almond-shaped eyes, and she looked at him as if she had unearthed a priceless treasure.

Ye Hantao was extremely grateful to Su Yi'ang.

A single, casual remark led her to the right path of lying.

“You guessed right,” Ye Hantao said with even more pride. “He keeps several lions as pets.”

She lied without any guilt, and her tongue didn't even get tied.

Who says zookeepers aren't keeping pets?

Before the audience could even laugh, a laugh suddenly came from the other end of the video.

"What a coincidence," he said lazily. "All the lions on this grassland are my pets."

"!!!"

Ye Hantao was amazed; this was real competition!
