Chapter 33 Shopping (8k Nutrient Solution) "They actually think counterfeit goods are worth...
【Yeah, right!!! What kind of amazing company is this?! They can give out tens of thousands of yuan in benefits to just one person?!】
[You believe Ye Hantao? You probably bought fakes just to save face!]
Has no one been able to find out any information about Ye Hantao's family?
[Hey, hey, hey, Ye Hantao is just an ordinary person, don't go too far!]
[Ahhhhh, has anyone told me what kind of amazing company this is?! My resume is ready, checking my email.]
[Just checking my email +1.]
Liao Jiayue was just holding her breath.
Now it seems the audience's attention has shifted to Ye Hantao and the Divine Company, and the pent-up anger has instantly swelled into ten mouthfuls!
What a bunch of idiots.
Ye Hantao showed off a bunch of counterfeit and substandard skincare products in front of the camera, and they rushed to praise her.
For the next half hour, under Director Wan's guidance, the guests reminisced about interesting events that occurred during the live broadcast, as well as their first impressions of each other.
When it was Ye Hantao's turn, Director Wan asked, "Where's our class monitor? Who did you think looked unapproachable at first glance?"
Ye Hantao subconsciously looked at Cheng Zhao in the upper left corner.
And by sheer coincidence, their eyes met.
The background of Cheng Zhao's photo is a bookshelf. The camera is far away, so it's not clear what books are on the shelf, but a corner of the camera next to it is visible.
“Cheng Zhao,” Ye Hantao said, looking away, “He didn’t seem like a chatty person at first glance.”
Zhou Ti and Ye Weizheng were somewhat relieved.
Tao Tao loves chatting with people, so these two will definitely have less and less contact in the future!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhao, with a cool expression, suddenly said, "...I have social anxiety."
Others: "???"
Chen Xiaofeng laughed loudly, "Haha ...!"
With a loud bang.
He fell flat on his face, chair and all, right in front of everyone.
Liao Jiayue frowned.
In the story, Chen Xiaofeng's high school classmates desperately try to win over Chen Xiaofeng's classmates.
Ye Hantao even started throwing herself at Chen Xiaofeng's classmate.
Otherwise, why would Ye Hantao bring up Cheng Zhao for no reason?
Social anxiety? You're socially anxious? Hahahaha!
Old Chen laughed so hard he practically squawked like a goose.
[Doesn't anyone ship Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao?! She's even come up with the excuse of being socially awkward just to avoid Ye Hantao misunderstanding!]
Is it possible that Cheng Zhao simply doesn't want others to misunderstand him as someone who's not to be trifled with?
[Was Ye Hantao deliberately trying to get Cheng Zhao's attention? Any normal person would say it's Jin Shiyue.]
People with heart conditions see everything as dirty!
If Ye Hantao thought Jin Shiyue was someone to be trifled with, would she have offered him mosquito repellent?
Ye Hantao laughed along with her.
But it wasn't a laugh at Chen Xiaofeng for falling down, but rather Cheng Zhao's socially awkward response.
This person is more and more interesting the more you get to know them.
After a brief chat, Director Wan got down to business, "Dear students, it's almost time. I've started a lottery in the live stream. The ten numbers are one through ten. The student who draws six will visit the home of the student who draws nine, and the entire visit will be filmed and live-streamed. The student who draws two, please start your own personal live stream on any day this week."
"3, 2, 1—Start drawing!"
Ye Hantao hovered the mouse cursor over the lottery bucket and clicked.
Shining with golden light.
"six."
six?
This is the number for visiting someone else's home.
Director Wan announced loudly, "Congratulations to Liao Jiayue for starting her personal live stream tomorrow, which will be a day off! Congratulations to Ye Hantao for visiting Su Yiang's residence this week!"
Zhou Mingsheng suddenly looked over.
Ye Hantao was looking at the computer screen, unaware of the gaze coming from her older brother.
"Tao Tao! We're so destined to meet!" Su Yi'ang's excited voice pierced through the screen and reached Zhou Mingsheng's ears. "I'll definitely take you all over HT's luxurious base!"
He suddenly thought of something, "Is your brother coming? I'll take you two to the training room and sweep the canyon!"
Ye Hantao turned her head to look at Zhou Mingsheng beside her, her face full of anticipation, "Brother, are you coming?"
"..." Zhou Mingsheng decided to avoid going to the base at the same time as Tao Tao.
Does the base have any recent photos of him? The team members probably have some on their phones too.
He had to check each one and confiscate them.
Zhou Mingsheng: "I haven't had much free time lately."
Little did they know that the team members, who had been trained by Zhou Mingsheng for many years, had long since etched his voice into their very bones.
Su Yi'ang shuddered in front of the camera, "Tao Tao, your brother's voice is terrifying. I almost thought the big boss had come back!!!"
Zhou Mingsheng: "..."
The live broadcast of the class meeting ended at 11:00.
Ye Hantao, still feeling sleepy, said goodnight to everyone, then to her family, before getting up and going back to her room.
[Disease progression: 85.7%]
Ye Hantao snapped back to reality for a couple of seconds.
My first thought was that the personal account had recently posted something and made a big splash.
She opened the newly registered account on her phone.
99+ messages
Follow 99+
"???"
Ye Hantao didn't look at the message, but instead glanced at the people she was following, her eyes widening in surprise.
62...w?!
620,000 followers?!
There were quite a few mentions as well, and Ye Hantao quickly glanced at them; they were varied and numerous.
[Ahhhhhh Tao! I love you! @YeHanTao]
[Peach leaves! We've found our home! @叶晗桃]
[Yo yo yo, why did you create a new account? Are you too ashamed to show your old account? @叶晗桃]
[Vanity! Pretentiousness! Liar! @YeHantao]
Despite being mentally prepared, Ye Hantao was still taken aback by the overwhelming number of mentions and private messages.
The WeChat message list was also packed with messages.
Some of the messages were sent by Jin Shiyue, Cheng Zhao, Su Yiang, and Wu Xia, while others were sent by friends and classmates.
Most of the time was shortly after the program team tagged her, and she didn't see her phone on her bed in the bedroom because it was on her bed.
Their content was remarkably consistent.
Tell her to remember to enable the comment firewall and to modify the privacy settings, such as who can comment on her Weibo posts and who can receive private messages from her, etc.
Ye Hantao thanked everyone one by one, and then went back to the first post with the skincare product pictures.
Oh my god.
It was forwarded 120,000 times, commented 100,000 times, and received 1,020,000 likes.
With the post gaining traction, Ye Hantao quickly edited her second post.
Ye Hantao v: I'm going to buy a new car with my family tomorrow. We'll have one more car in the house, and we won't be able to drive them all (worried.jpg).
Fans: "..."
Haters: "..."
Before going to bed, Ye Hantao and Su Yi'ang confirmed the time to go to the HT base: Wednesday, which is the day after tomorrow.
In the remaining days, I flew to other cities over the weekend to record the second episode of "My Classmate is Here".
On Friday, I attended a food tasting event in Yuncheng. On Thursday, I went with Sister Shiyue to have a wooden bracelet that had been blessed.
Tomorrow is Tuesday.
Ye Hantao and her family decided that she would go to the mall to buy gifts in the morning and go to the store to choose a car in the afternoon.
In the morning, Ye Weizheng drove his black Maybach to Henglong Shopping Center in Yuncheng.
The production team gave her 1 million yuan, which her family allowed her to use as she pleased.
She transferred 150,000 yuan to her father to buy a four-wheeled vehicle, and 800,000 yuan to her mother as a fund for buying a house. She kept the remaining 50,000 yuan.
Ye Hantao is preparing to buy a gift for everyone in her family, including gifts for Sister Shiyue and Teacher He Qiang. Jiayue has invited her to participate in the program, so she should also receive a gift for her.
Two more—
Cheng Zhao and Shan Feng didn't waste any words.
One person treated her to breakfast and took photos for her. Another was a fan who publicly supported her.
The Hang Lung area is a thriving commercial district with many office buildings and two shopping malls.
More people mean more cars.
When Ye Hantao finally caught sight of the outline of Henglong Plaza in the distance, she was already stuck in traffic at the fork in the road.
Cicadas chirp in the height of summer.
Two young men walked out of an internet cafe on the street, smoking. Their eyes lit up when they saw a Maybach parked among a group of cars. "Wow, a luxury car!"
He quickly took out his phone to take a picture.
“This is considered a luxury car? It’s only worth a few million,” another young man said. “Driving a Bugatti or a Ferrari is what’s truly luxurious.”
"You talk like you have a million dollars."
"..."
After saying that, he took a few more pictures and glanced at the license plate.
The last four digits are 1207.
Ye Hantao was completely unaware of the outside world's discussions about the car.
Having experienced yesterday, she felt completely relaxed and at ease sitting in this car, which was said to be worth millions online.
As the sunlight streamed in, the congested traffic gradually eased.
Hang Lung is getting closer and closer.
This wasn't Ye Hantao's first time here; she and her roommates had come several times since starting university.
Before summer vacation, they had eaten on the fourth floor here.
The fourth floor is almost entirely occupied by restaurants, which is also the only place Ye Hantao can spend money in Henglong Plaza.
I rarely go into the stores on other floors; my roommates say they're all very expensive and beyond their means.
Before Ye Hantao arrived, she had already made a list of several brands of scarves and perfumes.
Finding their prices online forced me to rethink my consumption habits.
“Scarves worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan…” Ye Hantao touched a scarf in her backpack, its texture soft and cool to the touch.
This is a silk scarf that her mother used to cover the dust off the small speaker on the TV cabinet.
She planned to use it as a benchmark when buying scarves later, and try to buy ones with relatively low brand premiums.
Ye Hantao saw the familiar mall entrance, zipped up her backpack, and said, "Dad, stop here—huh?"
Ye Weizheng drove his car from the side road into the underground parking garage of Hang Lung Plaza.
“Oh, right! I can take the elevator directly from the garage to the upper floor.” The last time Ye Hantao came here in her own four-wheeled vehicle was a few years ago. Since then, she has either taken the subway, a taxi, or a Didi ride.
Ye Weizheng stopped the car.
"Tao Tao, the perfumes and scarves you want to buy are all on the second floor."
He reached out and adjusted Ye Hantao's backpack strap. "I'm going to show the house to a client first. Call me after you've made your purchase, and I'll come pick you up."
Ye Hantao patted his arm and said in a condescending tone, "Old Ye! Just let go of your work!"
Ye Weizheng laughed, "Alright, alright, Xiao Ye, you can shop to your heart's content!"
Ye Hantao gave an OK sign.
After getting out of the car, Ye Weizheng waved through the car window, "Tao Tao, you go into the elevator first, I'll leave in a bit."
The garage isn't as bright as the outdoors.
Although it was a weekday morning, there were still quite a few cars parked.
Ye Hantao has a poor sense of direction and usually has a hard time finding the elevator, but her dad parked the car in a good spot and she could see it as soon as she got out.
Ye Weizheng watched his daughter walk in from inside the car before starting the car and driving away from the garage.
He doesn't actually need to take clients to see properties, but he does need to handle the backlog of work from overseas branches.
By the time he finishes his work, Tao Tao will probably have finished buying everything.
Ye Hantao first went to SAR, not to buy scarves and perfumes, but to look at bags.
The last time I heard of this brand was when I bought a printed T-shirt from Jia Yue, which cost a whopping four figures.
Upon entering the room, I was immediately struck by the black and white color scheme; it was a very simple design.
The store was filled with advertisements. Ye Hantao walked around looking at the advertisements, hoping to find Jiayue inside, but she couldn't.
However, there was a particularly high frequency of encounters with an unfamiliar blonde foreigner.
Ye Hantao searched online and unexpectedly found that this person's related keywords included "Sister Yue".
Clicking on the entry brings up a screenshot entirely in English, an interview with the model by a media outlet, saying that her runway finale was snatched away by Sister Shiyue.
The media asked her for her opinion on this.
"Just a loser from a remote mountain village."
No matter how glamorous the stage is, it can't hide the poverty that's ingrained in one's bones.
Ye Hantao closed the screenshot, glanced at the huge advertisement on the wall again, stared at it for two seconds, and mentally exclaimed, "Tui—"
You are the loser.
The loser who was replaced by Sister Shiyue.
Ye Hantao stopped looking at the foreign model, took a few steps into the store, and let her gaze linger on each display case.
In addition to bags of different styles, there is also a wide variety of clothing and jewelry.
The reason she walked into the SAR store today was that she remembered a certain scene from the original work when she passed by.
The control group took several photos with bags at a SAR store and posted them on their social media accounts with the caption "A day of shopping."
Following this, a customer who was also a fan of Liao Jiayue in the store posted several photos online, exposing the contrasting group who only took photos in the store but did not buy any bags.
"Hello, how can I help you?" the store's sales consultant greeted him as he approached.
Her gaze swept over Ye Hantao from her hair, clothes, and shoes, her expression unchanged, still holding a faint smile. "What would you like to see?"
Ye Hantao pointed to the side, "Watch the bag."
After walking a few steps with Ye Hantao, the store consultant suddenly remembered that this customer looked familiar.
Isn't this Ye Hantao from the recent hit variety show "Classmates Are Coming"?
She doesn't watch variety shows often, so she recognized Ye Hantao only because she was trending on social media yesterday.
#Ye Hantao's Luxury Car Worth Tens of Millions#
Ye Hantao looked around the store and stopped at the clothing section, where there was a girl holding up her phone.
Seeing that Ye Hantao had noticed them, the girl holding the phone immediately turned her head and pretended to be picking out clothes.
The only thing still going on was the phone taking pictures through the gap in the clothes.
Ye Hantao confirmed that this must be the fan who posted the photos.
Her face was obscured by a row of clothes.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the person being photographed can see their face clearly.
So, while adjusting her position so that the camera could capture her face, Ye Hantao asked the store consultant next to her, "Excuse me, can I borrow a bag to take pictures?"
"You're too kind. There's no need for a loan." When the store consultant heard that Ye Hantao wanted to take photos, she not only didn't get angry, but her attitude became warmer. "It's my honor to serve you."
Others might only see the name Maybach, but she kept the 62 Zeppelin in her heart.
This car is limited to 100 units worldwide, with only a dozen or so in China, making it impossible for it to enter the car rental market.
If Ye Hantao's family can borrow a car and drive it freely, they must be able to bring them benefits or have an extremely close relationship. There can only be advantages and no disadvantages in associating with such people.
What do you think of this bag?
Ye Hantao didn't recognize SAR's bag styles, but she liked this chain bag. "How much does it cost?"
"This lychee pattern is currently priced at 80,000 yuan." The store consultant gestured for Ye Hantao to look at it on her back. "Besides this black and gold color scheme, we also have a black and silver color scheme in the store."
Under the intense gaze of the store consultant, Ye Hantao slung the bag over her shoulder.
The girl in the mirror is tall and fair-skinned, with long hair tied into a loose scorpion braid, paired with light blue denim overalls, looking youthful and beautiful.
Because the store consultant was helping Ye Hantao carry her bag, she got closer and noticed that the overalls had a great cut, like they were custom-made, fitting Ye Hantao's figure perfectly.
She smiled and complimented, "This bag suits you perfectly; it's vibrant and lively yet elegant."
Ye Hantao looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
She was so afraid of snagging on Jia Yue's four-figure T-shirt when she saw it on a variety show, but now she has the courage to try on an 80,000 yuan bag. She has grown!
"We also have a gradient series in the store," the store consultant asked. "Would you like to take a look? I can bring them out for you to try on."
Ye Hantao quickly took two photos and returned the bag to the store consultant, saying, "No need to look at it anymore, thank you, sister."
It wasn't until Ye Hantao left the store that the other consultants came over.
"Elena, that person is a notorious liar online, and you're still praising her?"
Elena, the store consultant who had been serving Ye Hantao, is also a top salesperson at the store.
Upon hearing this, Elena raised her chin. "Didn't you see yesterday's trending topics? The person who could borrow that car wouldn't be an ordinary person, would they?"
“I surf the internet faster than you.” Colleague Madge handed over his phone. “Take another look. It’s already been found online that Ye Hantao’s dad is a real estate salesman. She’s probably just secretly driving some rich client’s car to show off.”
After Madge finished speaking, his eyes darted around, "I know, you only entertained her because she's Liao Jiayue's classmate, right?"
Last month, Liao Jiayue signed a contract with SAR, becoming a brand ambassador. Recently, it's been rumored that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, once the ambassadorship ends, Liao Jiayue will be promoted to ready-to-wear spokesperson.
Elena returned the phone to her colleague without saying a word.
She had worked her way up from the bottom, and had seen both ordinary people and the wealthy. She considered herself to have a good eye for talent.
Ye Hantao posted a new message immediately after leaving the SAR store.
Ye Hantao v: Shopping [image.jpg]
The accompanying photo was taken not long ago at a SAR store with a lychee-patterned bag.
Even the location was precisely set in Hang Lung Plaza, just to prove that I actually visited the store.
After posting the message, Ye Hantao was afraid that her family would see it and want to buy her the bag, so she said frankly in the family group: "I just want to maintain my vain persona. Maybe I can get another 1 million subsidy. I don't really want to buy it."
[Sponsor Mom: (patting head.jpg)]
[Investor Dad: (pats head.jpg)]
[Taking a bite of a peach: The staff at this shop were super nice. When they heard I wanted to take pictures, they even asked if I needed any other bags.]
[Sponsor Mom: She's a really nice person, what's her name?]
Ye Hantao recalled, "[Elena! A brown-haired older sister.]"
After a brief chat with her family, Ye Hantao headed straight to the perfume shop. She browsed from Bulgari to Jo Malone, and then to Diptych, smelling seven or eight fragrance cards before finally spotting the familiar rose scent.
It smells the same as the fragrance that Sister Shiyue uses in the bathroom.
She also saw the Summer Light that Jia Yue had mentioned at the counter here. According to the description, it uses lemongrass and geranium.
Upon smelling it again, it didn't seem as refreshing as the mosquito repellent my great-aunt made; perhaps she just didn't like the smell of geranium.
"How much is this bottle?" Ye Hantao asked, waving the fragrance card in her hand.
The air around her nose was filled with the rich scent of roses, as if she were lying in a field of blooming flowers, the fragrance permeated by the sunlight.
The one chosen by Ye Hantao is called Rose Water.
The store had both eau de toilette and perfume, and Ye Hantao smelled them one by one before choosing the former.
The sales clerk noticed that Ye Hantao was interested in buying it and smiled as she quoted a price: "There are two types: 50ml for 980 yuan and 100ml for 1360 yuan."
"..."
That's really expensive.
Ye Hantao paid the money with a heavy heart and bought a 100ml bottle of rose water perfume.
"You're a new member, so here's a complimentary fragrance travel set for you." The clerk packed it up methodically. "We also have a promotion on gifts with purchases over a certain amount. Spend over 1300 yuan and you'll receive a 5ml fragrance, or over 2000 yuan and you'll receive a 7.5ml fragrance and a set of postcards. Would you like some?"
Ye Hantao shook her head vigorously, it was impossible for her to spend another seven hundred or so to get a free gift—
Do you have sandalwood perfume in your store?
"..."
She felt that since she had bought it for someone else, she could use it at home too.
After another ten minutes of browsing, the salesperson smiled and said, "A 100ml bottle of rose water is 1360 yuan, and a 100ml bottle of Tan Dao eau de toilette is 1360 yuan. In addition to the free gift with purchase, we will also give you four 2ml perfume samples."
As the shop assistant packed the two bottles of perfume, along with their boxes, into a shopping bag, Ye Hantao carefully inspected the bag.
To prevent it from breaking halfway and shattering the two bottles of perfume that together cost nearly three thousand yuan.
[Disease progression: 85.3%]
"?!?!"
Ye Hantao immediately forgot about the cost of the two bottles of perfume and sat down on the Tiptie bar stool, looking down at the trending topics on her phone.
Yes, it is!
#YeHanTaoSARPhotography#
The homepage of this entry features a user named "Marshmallow Tangtang".
Cotton Candy v: Bored, I browsed SAR to support Yueyue's endorsement and bumped into Ye Hantao. I thought she was also there to buy a bag, but it turns out she was just taking pictures? As soon as she left, I saw two SARs huddled together, crickets chirping at her. [Photo.jpg][Photo.jpg][Photo.jpg]
The photo was taken from a rather tricky angle, like it was taken sneakily through the gaps in the clothes, capturing the clothes on both sides.
But Ye Hantao's appearance was captured very clearly, her face was fully revealed, it was Ye Hantao herself!
[Hahaha, Ye Hantao meant taking photos with bags while shopping?]
[The shop assistant is so kind; she didn't kick you out. @叶晗桃]
[First, she had her family borrow a Maybach to cultivate a certain image, then she took photos with the SAR bag and pretended to buy it. How vain!]
Did Ye Hantao ever use the word "buy" throughout the entire conversation?
I often take pictures of clothes and bags when I go shopping, and wow, if I post them online, I'll get a lot of criticism!
[Please, look at what the experts say. That's a Maybach 62 Zeppelin; only 16 have been identified nationwide so far. The fact that Ye Hantao's family could borrow it shows they have connections.]
Stop talking about connections all the time. Isn't it just borrowed from real estate agents and homeowners?
This person is just vain!
【You are acting out of malice!】
Ye Hantao was very satisfied with reading the comments, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
The next second, another trending topic appeared.
#YeHanTaoGiveaway#
Ye Hantao herself: "???"
@MountainWindDoesNoFun
Let's hold a raffle.

Ye Hantao: "..."
Ye Hantao: "…………"
Is this the kind of arrogance that comes from holding two mountains of gold?
Ye Hantao thought that Shanfeng would send a message to inquire after issuing the lottery without any further questions.
Unexpectedly, news did arrive, and the person who came was Director Wan from the program team.
[Director Wan: Tao Tao, I have some amazing news for you! The sponsors say your picture has brought the show a lot of buzz!]
A single post is worth a million?
wrong.
Director Wan hasn't said how much the investors will subsidize yet.
[Director Wan: He subsidized 2 million, still after tax! I'll have the finance department transfer it to your account in a couple of days.]
boom--
Ye Hantao thought it was thunder. She looked up and saw that the cleaning lady had accidentally bumped into something. She picked up the fallen glove and handed it to her before she came to her senses.
Looking at the 2 million chat logs on his phone, and seeing Shanfeng win ten bags in a lucky draw without saying a word...
Ye Hantao thought to herself in silence.
Why can't there be one more rich person in this world like me?!
Ten minutes later, Ye Hantao appeared at the Aubin store where she had planned to buy a silk scarf.
The shop assistants were all dressed in dark uniforms.
Unlike SAR, where someone would come up to greet you, Ye Hantao went to the display of folded scarves and picked out a scarf herself.
She didn't plan to buy it directly here. She thought she would first look at the patterns, then compare the materials with her mother's scarf, and then compare prices at different stores.
However, Ye Hantao's gaze paused slightly as soon as she saw the pattern on the Aubin scarf.
This white silk scarf features many animals.
Isn't that the silk scarf her mother used that she carried in her bag?
Did Mom buy another counterfeit? The last counterfeit was a whole size bigger than Shi Yue's 800,000 yuan bag.
When Ye Hantao was researching scarf brands online, she saw that Aubin and Hermes were considered to be of equal status in the luxury goods industry.
The bags in the store also range from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan.
Both of these stores also sell silk scarves.
She picked up the silk scarf and held it in her hand; the texture seemed just as silky and cool as her mother's silk scarf.
Are counterfeit goods these days so realistic?
Ye Hantao put down the silk scarf, moved her backpack in front of her, and took out the white silk scarf she had brought. She spread it out and compared it with the silk scarf she had put down earlier.
From color and pattern to texture...
Almost a 1:1 replica.
But there are some slight differences; the little animals on Mom's scarf have a few bits of gold.
"..." Ye Hantao actually thought the counterfeit was more exquisite.
As she stuffed the scarf into her bag, she decided to buy it from another store. The scarves at this store couldn't even compete with the counterfeits, so the brand premium was obvious.
Just as Ye Hantao was about to put the scarf into her bag, a figure suddenly darted out from the side and grabbed her wrist.
Before Ye Hantao could turn around, the newcomer shouted, "Taking photos in SAR wasn't enough, you've come to Aubin to steal things?!"
Immediately, the sales assistants and customers in the store all looked in this direction.
Ye Hantao forcefully pulled her hand back, her expression serious. "I didn't steal anything, please don't slander me."
Seeing Ye Hantao's expression, Han Yage, who was trying to catch her, was somewhat surprised.
She watched all of Liao Jiayue's live streams, so she was naturally familiar with Ye Hantao.
Ye Hantao is always smiling on the show, so she had never seen her face so serious before.
While she was lost in thought, Ye Hantao completely broke free from her restraints.
The store manager nodded apologetically to the customers and quickly came over. "Ladies, what happened?"
"She stole your scarves." Han Yage pointed at Ye Hantao's backpack with a contemptuous look in her eyes. "I saw her hide the scarves in her bag as soon as I entered the store."
She was able to come to Aubin because it was suggested by other fans in the fan group.
They said that if Ye Hantao could take photos at SAR, she would definitely take photos at other luxury stores to show off her wealth.
Han Yage was here to catch Ye Hantao red-handed and let the whole internet see what kind of person she was!
Such a person doesn't deserve to be Yueyue's classmate, nor does he deserve Yueyue's sincere treatment!
Han Yage thought of the photos she took and the posts she made before arresting the person, hoping to help Yueyue see the true face of this bloodsucker classmate!
Ye Hantao can steal a silk scarf in Aubin today, and betray Yueyue tomorrow!
The manager looked at Han Yage and then at Ye Hantao. His years of experience told him that Ye Hantao didn't seem like the type to steal.
But temperament is the hardest thing to describe; there are even examples abroad of people pretending to be from wealthy families and deceiving a bunch of upper-class people.
Could those celebrities' discerning eye be inferior to his?
"Ma'am," the manager said hesitantly, "would it be convenient for me to take a look at your bag?"
Ye Hantao remained unmoved, her gaze clear and sharp. "Instead of checking my bag, shouldn't you be checking the security footage?"
The manager was taken aback.
While the three were locked in a stalemate, several customers from the store also came over.
A customer who was originally going to wait in the VIP room for the sales associate to bring her long-awaited new bag, saw that there was something interesting to see and quickly brought the sales associate over to watch.
"Isn't this person Ye Hantao?"
Who is Ye Hantao?
"Oh, oh, the one from 'My Classmate's Here'?"
When Han Yage saw that the others recognized Ye Hantao, she became even more smug. "Yes! She's Ye Hantao from the variety show 'Classmates Are Here'! She's vain and lies on the show, and she steals things offline."
The manager was still sizing up Ye Hantao.
Among the group, Ye Hantao was the youngest, judging from her appearance alone, and looked like an innocent college student.
But when she encountered this situation, she not only remained calm but also showed remarkable composure, showing no signs of being frightened by the scene before her.
If they were truly naive college students, they would have already opened their bags and been busy proving their innocence.
Suddenly, Ye Hantao looked over.
The manager instinctively stood up straight.
"First, I hope you can retrieve the store's surveillance footage as soon as possible. Of course, if you refuse, I will call the police."
manager:"!!!"
"I'll have someone retrieve the surveillance footage immediately."
Ye Hantao noticed that people around her were taking pictures, and she guessed that they had already posted them online.
“I recorded everything you just said, and this constitutes an infringement on my right to reputation.” She tapped her phone screen, which contained a newly generated recording.
Ye Hantao looked directly at Han Yage and said sternly, "Are you sure you want to stick to all your previous statements?"
She doesn't mind being called a liar and vain by netizens, but stealing is unacceptable.
When Cheng Zhao strode into the store, his chest heaved as he gasped for breath.
He had to wait for the elevator, so he ran up the escalator.
But upon entering the store, before finding Ye Hantao, the first thing you hear is Ye Hantao's voice.
Calm and composed, brooking no argument—this was something he had never heard before.
Half an hour ago, he saw Ye Hantao post a picture of herself shopping at Henglong Plaza.
The company wasn't far from here, so he thought he'd come and try his luck, but on the way he came across a trending topic on social media about taking photos with a bag.
Once inside the mall, I saw Ye Hantao's photo on the homepage of a blogger named Cotton Candy Candy. It was at the Aubin store, and the blogger directly accused Ye Hantao of stealing the scarf.
fart.
Even if Ye Hantao hadn't received the subsidy, let alone having at least a million in her account, she wouldn't have stole anything.
He even ate a mango pancake for breakfast, which he said was too sweet, but for dinner he secretly gave the production crew extra pieces of salmon.
I ate several shumai and shrimp dumplings, and I almost sent him all the desserts the shop had to choose from.
Han Yage felt that Ye Hantao was guilty and immediately sneered, "Are you threatening me? I saw you put a white silk scarf into your bag with my own eyes!"
Upon hearing this certain tone, several customers began to waver.
"Did they really steal it?"
"If even the color is described so precisely, it's probably true."
"It might have been brought by Ye Hantao."
"No no no, Ye Hantao's performance on the show doesn't seem like someone who can afford an Aubin scarf."
Upon hearing this, the customer who had originally intended to go to the VIP room but returned raised an eyebrow. "Who said you can't afford it? You're really judging people by their appearance. My eldest daughter-in-law likes to wear sandals every day to collect rent from two buildings."
"Yeah, didn't Ye Hantao trend on social media yesterday because of her multi-million dollar car?"
"Rent a car."
The VIP customer rolled his eyes. What car rental? The only Maybach 62 Zeppelin in Yuncheng is owned by the Yun family.
Because her husband couldn't buy it, he often badmouthed Boss Yun behind her back for the past two years.
At that moment, the manager came over with a laptop, saying, "The surveillance footage has been retrieved."
The crowd of curious customers drew even closer.
Cheng Zhao didn't go over; he just stood not far away, quietly watching Ye Hantao in the crowd.
She remained serious and calm throughout.
Before he arrived, he was actually worried that Ye Hantao would be frightened and cry.
After reflecting, Cheng Zhao's gaze seemed to be drawn back, deep and intense.
She's so beautiful.
The surveillance footage begins from when Ye Hantao enters the store.
Everyone watched as Ye Hantao first picked up a white silk scarf from the display stand and touched it. Then, she put it down and reached into her backpack to take out another one—
Han Yage's eyes widened. "How is this possible?!"
However, the surveillance footage proves that Ye Hantao did put the scarf back in the store before taking out another scarf of the same style from her bag.
She placed the silk scarf on the display stand for comparison before putting it back.
Han Yage took two steps back, looking flustered.
Why does Ye Hantao have the exact same scarf?
The first thing she did upon entering the store was to take a picture of Ye Hantao stealing something before running up to catch her. She even posted it using her popular account with 10,000 followers!
Ye Hantao stared at the pale-faced Han Yage without softening her stance. "Madam, I now demand that you publicly clarify the facts online and issue an apology."
