Chapter 49 Reunion: "Is the Chinese Painting Teacher Master Xie Feihuai?"...

The boxes the production team gave them were in a 3x3 grid pattern, with one portion of medicinal herbs placed in each grid.

Each group has nine labels to distinguish the quality of the three medicinal materials.

Ye Hantao neatly and efficiently finished dividing the ordinary goji berries, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Wu Xia, we now have a 'Fengwu' token."

This time, the program team is not rewarding participants with points, but with "Fengwu Tokens".

You can get a "Fengwu Token" by answering a square correctly.

Of the three compartments of goji berries, only this batch looked exactly like the goji berries that my great-aunt always kept at home.

She has used it to make tea and drunk it several times.

[I told you Ye Hantao was broke! If she were really rich, the first thing she'd recognize, even if it wasn't top-grade goji berries, would still be high-quality goji berries!]

[Agreed. I just checked other live streams, and Liao Jiayue and Ji Changtu were the first to be identified as top-tier.]

[What kind of theory is this? Their three groups of medicinal herbs are all different; maybe it's hard to distinguish between high-quality and premium herbs.]

[Ye Hantao is probably used to eating premium and extra-premium quality peaches, which is why she chose the unfamiliar common quality one first.]

Aunt Zhou Shumiao saw this comment in the live stream and took a couple of sips of water from her thermos to calm herself down.

A very subtle sweetness lingers on the taste buds.

"..." Zhou Shumiao looked at the goji berries soaking in the cup and closed her eyes.

It's invisible.

She couldn't see any goji berries.

Zhou Shumiao is almost sixty years old, but time has been exceptionally kind to her.

A few strands of white hair were tinged at her temples, but her black hair was still smooth and shiny, tied with a slightly faded pink cat hair tie.

This is a piece of art that Tao Tao made in her school craft class. There was only one of these, and even Tao Tao's own grandmother couldn't take it from her.

Although Tao Tao later made some more cat hair ties, this one still has a different meaning.

A few seconds later, Zhou Shumiao suddenly opened her eyes.

Her face was free of makeup, revealing a healthy, radiant complexion, and even the fine lines around her eyes were very faint.

Her demeanor was light and peaceful, making her look like she was only in her early forties.

Zhou Shumiao opened the "Compendium of Materia Medica" beside her and called Zhou Mingsheng on her cell phone, "Are you going to Shandong Province tonight?"

Zhou Mingsheng was watching the team members review the game, only able to hear the progress of the variety show through his Bluetooth earphones, and hadn't yet realized what was happening.

"Great-aunt, what's the matter?"

"Go to my place in Yuncheng before you leave."

Zhou Shumiao watched as Tao Tao prepared to distribute ordinary nameplates in the live broadcast room, and could no longer sit still, so she stood up.

Sunlight illuminated the medicine cabinet and the rosewood table in the room.

Zhou Shumiao paced back and forth in front of the table, her usually calm voice tinged with urgency.

"Mingsheng, I have some of Taotao's medicine in the living room drawer in advance."

Zhou Mingsheng thought that he had some at home too, and that he had gotten them from his great-aunt. But then he realized that the fact that his great-aunt was calling meant that she had a more complete selection than he usually had at home.

"Okay," he agreed. "I'll go over this afternoon."

Zhou Shumiao pondered for a moment, then instructed with concern, "Don't be picky about the types; bring all the ones Tao Tao has used."

In recent years, Tao Tao has never been so seriously ill that she had to be admitted to the ICU, but she has been suffering from minor illnesses and accidents all the time.

Last year, because Tao Tao had always longed to see the beautiful scenery of snow, Zhou Ti took Tao Tao to Changbai Mountain for skiing under the pretext of company benefits.

The equipment was checked and found to be working properly before being put on, but then it just so happens to malfunction halfway through the skiing trip.

Fortunately, Zhou Mingsheng reacted quickly and protected Tao Tao, preventing a serious accident.

If it weren't for the fact that Tao Tao hadn't had such bad luck in the past year, and hadn't had any other problems, and had been doing well in university, they really wouldn't have felt comfortable letting Tao Tao go to another city alone to participate in "Classmates Are Here".

Zhou Mingsheng said "okay" again.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shumiao sat down for a moment and decided to book tickets online.

She wouldn't feel at ease unless she kept a close eye on things herself.

In the yard, the rooster in its enclosure suddenly crowed at noon, neither early nor late.

Kim Si-wol sat on the stool that her assistant had wiped clean.

Beside him, Ji Changtu would select a square and touch the jade tablet, then select another square and touch the jade tablet again.

As the cameraman moved his camera, he also shifted his feet to ensure the camera could capture the jade pendant on his wrist.

Jin Shiyue: "..."

Jin Shiyue found it annoying and turned her head to look elsewhere.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Cheng Zhao and He Qiang, who were in the same group, were both looking at the same person.

Cheng Zhao wasn't looking at the medicinal herbs, but at Ye Hantao... which wasn't particularly surprising.

but--

Why is He Qiang also looking at Ye Hantao?

Damn it, has this guy still not given up on trying to win Ye Hantao over to his side?!

Jin Shiyue suddenly stood up, picked up the stool, and took a few steps.

The cameraman wondered where Kim Si-wol was going, so he followed her with his camera.

The next moment, the viewers in the main live broadcast room saw Jin Shiyue straighten the chair, positioning it perfectly between He Qiang and Ye Hantao.

Jin Shiyue sat down leisurely and stared at Ye Hantao.

What is Kinshitsuki doing?

[Wait, you like Ye Hantao that much? You're staring at her intently?]

[From this angle... He Qiang seems to be looking at Ye Hantao too? Is Jin Shiyue deliberately blocking Ye Hantao from He Qiang's view?]

[Are you fans really dedicated to making Ye Hantao the darling of variety shows? Everyone watches her!]

Even with the camera angled slightly off-center, are you still going to say that Cheng Zhao is looking this way at Ye Hantao?

[I've always assumed he was staring at Ye Hantao, haven't you guys noticed? When he's in the same frame as Ye Hantao, the camera never shows his face directly.]

What does it mean that his face isn't shown?

[He kept looking at Ye Hantao with his head tilted the whole time (starry-eyed).jpg]

Ye Hantao was oblivious to the gazes directed at her, as she was intently examining the compartments of dried tangerine peel and honeysuckle in the box.

Fortunately, they were all common Chinese medicines, which my great-aunt's small cabinet had.

Honeysuckle that hasn't even bloomed yet is definitely of the ordinary grade.

Dark-colored dried tangerine peel was also a favorite of my great-aunt.

When my great-aunt was making tea, she lamented that if she had earned more money, she could have bought some high-quality tea to use.

Ye Hantao quickly placed the remaining two "ordinary" labels into the boxes containing honeysuckle and dried tangerine peel, respectively.

Wu Xia: "..."

Wu Xia's first reaction was not to question Ye Hantao's decision, but to recall her experience of helping out at home.

Premium goji berries do indeed have a bit of white frost on them, which is a natural result of the sugars being released.

Recalling this, Wu Xia still didn't immediately refute Ye Hantao. He picked up a light-colored goji berry without any white frost, broke it open, checked that the flesh was plump, and then put half of it into his mouth to taste it.

As soon as Wu Xia swallowed the goji berries, he noticed a very noticeable gaze upon him.

He followed his instincts and looked up, meeting Ye Hantao's bright, almond-shaped eyes.

Last time, Tao Tao gave him the same look in her eyes when she praised his clear speech.

Wu Xia couldn't help but straighten his back.

He thought that Tao Tao was going to praise him.

"Wu Xia, you really know your stuff!" Ye Hantao asked with a look of trust. "If you break them apart like this, can you tell which ones are high-quality and which ones are top-grade?"

"..." Wu Xia opened his mouth.

“It’s not premium.” Wu Xia stopped Ye Hantao from throwing the [Special Grade] label after she finished the first half of his sentence, and forced himself to finish the second half, “...it’s not special grade either.”

Meeting Ye Hantao's questioning gaze, he said firmly, "These are ordinary grade goji berries."

Ye Hantao: "???"

“No,” Ye Hantao pointed to one of the squares, “the one I chose is the regular goji berry one.”

Wu Xia shook his head, his voice light and steady, "The white frost on the surface of your goji berries is the natural precipitation of sugar from high-quality goji berries."

As he spoke, he spread out a goji berry that had been broken in half in his hand. “This one is light in color, which means it has too much water content. Look at its core, it’s very hollow. It tastes sweet but also has a sour and astringent taste.”

Wu Xia asserted, "This is only the ordinary level."

Ye Hantao: "???"

【????】

【ah? ? ? ? 】

Was Ye Hantao's decisive choice a mistake?

[Hahaha, where are the people who said earlier that Ye Hantao only knows how to distinguish ordinary goji berries from premium ones because she often eats high-quality and extra-premium ones?]

[I told you long ago, Ye Hantao really eats premium and top-grade peaches, so she should have chosen those first, instead of the regular grade.]

[So Ye Hantao has only ever seen regular-grade goji berries, and wants to market herself on camera as someone too rich to have ever eaten regular-grade ones, so she avoids choosing them? Pretending not to recognize them?]

[I never expected that Wu Xia, who speaks his mind so frankly, would be here :)]

“No,” Ye Hantao insisted. “I chose the ordinary grade, you chose the superior grade, and the rest are the special grade.”

Wu Xia humbly asked, "How did you determine that?"

He suspected that Ye Hantao had unique standards for distinguishing quality, and that the goji berries Ye Hantao selected might appear to have a white frost, but in reality, they were not even as good as the ordinary goji berries from his family's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Ye Hantao's eyes darted around, and she lied, "I've had the other two kinds at my great-aunt's house, one premium and one special grade. I've never seen this ordinary grade before!"

[Disease progression: 79.6%]

[Hahaha, the sisters who guessed earlier were right!]

[Ye Hantao has only ever drunk regular-grade goji berry tea, and she's pretending not to know it.]

Even Wu Xia didn't immediately deny it, yet you all firmly believe it.

Wu Xia wasn't really sure.

He put the remaining half of the goji berry in his hand into his mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, picked up a goji berry that Ye Hantao said was ordinary, broke it open to take a look, and then tasted it.

However, whether it's the firmness of the flesh or the naturalness of the flavor, the latter is indeed more prominent.

How could these be ordinary grade goji berries?

Wu Xia was in a dilemma again.

Director Wan held up a sign counting down: "8 minutes left, all groups hurry up."

Su Yi'ang, through his work Ji Changtu, categorized the medicinal herbs in the box into common, high-quality, and premium grades.

Upon hearing that there were only eight minutes left, he grinned, revealing his two little tiger teeth. "Boss Ji, our group should be the second fastest!"

The fastest team was naturally Tao Tao and Wu Xia's group.

Su Yi'ang strolled over, took a closer look, and asked, "Your group hasn't finished dividing up the tasks yet?"

"That's impossible," he said, sitting cross-legged beside her. "Wu Xia, don't you often help your uncle and aunt distribute medicinal herbs?"

Even though Su Yi'ang knew nothing about medicinal herbs, he recognized wolfberries, honeysuckle, and dried tangerine peel.

He asked in confusion, "Your group doesn't have any rare medicinal herbs, so how could this stump you?"

Wu Xia pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

Ye Hantao explained, "The main problem is that Wu Xia and I had a disagreement."

"I think these three are the standard grade, but Wu Xia said these three are the standard grade." Ye Hantao pointed at the box from a distance, equally puzzled.

She didn't doubt Wu Xia's knowledge, but she also trusted her great-aunt's experience.

When Ye Hantao first heard about the mission, she was most confident in identifying ordinary-grade medicinal herbs, thinking that the only difficulty would be distinguishing between high-quality and premium-grade herbs.

Unexpectedly, she and Wu Xia disagreed on the distinction between ordinary and ordinary levels.

Su Yi'ang scratched his head.

He still had the hoodie hood over his head, then pulled it off and scratched his hair.

“I can’t recognize it either.” After a pause, Su Yi’ang added in a low voice, “But Wu Xia should be reliable in identifying medicinal herbs. His cousin is the grand-disciple of a very famous figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Wu Xia has been influenced by his cousin from a young age, so he should have some real skills.”

A particularly prominent figure in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Just how prominent is he?

Ye Hantao retorted, "My great-aunt is quite skilled in traditional Chinese medicine too!"

[Disease progression: 79.3%]

Having received the character feedback she wanted, Ye Hantao picked up the two ordinary signs she had placed in the compartment earlier. "Wu Xia, which one did you just choose: ordinary honeysuckle or ordinary dried tangerine peel? As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

[Tsk tsk tsk, one second they were saying Great-Auntie was pretty good, the next second they're listening to Wu Xia?]

[I can still remember Ye Hantao's great-aunt as that person who made herbal soap.]

【Ahhhhhh, I remember now! I made Ye Hantao break out in a rash all over her face after she took a shower!】

I even doubt whether Ye Hantao's great-aunt has a medical license.

Wu Xia pointed to one of the squares.

The honeysuckle inside was in full bloom, its color a deep yellow, and it had a faint fragrance.

Ye Hantao put the ordinary sign inside.

She still favored her great-aunt.

The main problem is that the honeysuckle that Wu Xia chose was already in bloom. Since it's called honeysuckle, how can a plant that isn't in bloom be considered qualified?

The one she initially chose didn't bloom; it must have been a regular-grade one.

Wu Xia pointed to another compartment of dried tangerine peel, and Ye Hantao put down a sign. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

Dried tangerine peel, isn't it better the longer it's aged? Shouldn't its color also become darker?

Thinking this, Ye Hantao couldn't help but look back at the ordinary dried tangerine peel she had identified as such.

The three-compartment tangerine peel has the darkest color and small, visible indentations.

That's right. The dried tangerine peel she saw at her great-aunt's house was exactly the same as this piece. When she was bored, she even picked up a couple of pieces to fold and play with, but she rarely managed to break them.

All nine categories of medicinal herbs have been completed.

Director Wan's announcement followed: "Time's up! Please hand in your medicine boxes. After lunch, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor we've invited will announce the results and take your pulses."

Wu Xia held the wooden box and handed it to Director Wan.

Ye Hantao squatted in place, looking at the chickens and ducks in the pen, her mind constantly thinking about Chen Pi.

As soon as they boarded the bus today, their phones were taken away by the production crew, so they can't even go online to search for answers.

Su Yi'ang stood up and saw Ye Hantao squatting there. "Taotao, wake up, it's time to eat."

"Oh." Ye Hantao came to her senses, and before she could even move her knees, a hand reached out in front of her.

Before Ye Hantao looked closely at the hand, she thought it was Su Yi'ang's outstretched hand and was about to say no... when she saw the scar across the tiger's mouth.

"Are your legs numb from squatting?" Cheng Zhao asked.

Ye Hantao naturally leaned in, using the strength of his hand to stand up straight, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "Thank you."

[See! I told you so! Cheng Zhao is definitely interested in Ye Hantao!]

[Don't go too far with your shipping!]

[Outrageous? How so?]

[The moment Ye Hantao touched his hand, look at that smirk on his face—it was harder to suppress than an AK!]

[I saw it! I saw it! The smile on my face hasn't faded yet, hahaha!]

[Aaaaaaah, I came here to watch my classmate's variety show! If you keep saying that, I'll start shipping them as a couple!]

Su Yi'ang hadn't thought of this at all, and was still reflecting beside Ye Hantao, "Tao Tao, so you couldn't get up because your legs went numb from squatting?"

Ye Hantao immediately agreed, "Yes!"

Jin Shiyue happened to be passing by and caught a glimpse of Su Yi'ang's smile out of the corner of her eye...

She looked away. What a fool, he couldn't see anything.

Since this was the first meal after everyone had gathered, the production team provided it for free, and the guests didn't need to pay anything in return.

The dining table is located in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Halfway through the meal, Ye Hantao picked up a slice of stir-fried bamboo shoot and ate it with the last bit of rice in her bowl.

These bamboo shoots are crisp and refreshing, perfect for a few bites when you're almost finished eating.

Liao Jiayue watched Ye Hantao eat stir-fried bamboo shoots and inexplicably laughed.

"Seeing Tao Tao eating bamboo shoots reminded me of what happened before." Liao Jiayue looked at Chen Xiaofeng and Cheng Zhao, who were eating at the same table, and said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "You two weren't here yet back then, so you probably don't know."

Ye Hantao looked up curiously, wanting to hear what her eating bamboo shoots had to do with anything.

Liao Jiayue smiled and said, "Tao Tao, have you forgotten? When we were admiring Master Xie Feihuai's paintings, you joked that Master Xie Feihuai was good at painting bamboo because she loved to eat bamboo shoots."

"..." Ye Hantao touched her nose.

If she had known that Teacher He Qiang knew Master Xie Feihuai, she certainly wouldn't have lied to Teacher He Qiang's face.

[Liao Jiayue even made excuses for Ye Hantao, saying it was just a joke, hahaha.]

[Ye Hantao was clearly trying to imply that her teacher was impressive and knew Xie Feihuai, right?]

At that moment, a pair of chopsticks were placed on the table with a crisp sound.

He Qiang said solemnly, "This is not a joke."

One sentence instantly froze the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table.

Chen Xiaofeng forcefully twisted Cheng Zhao's arm, and as Cheng Zhao glanced at him, he strained his facial muscles, winking and making faces, as if to say, "Don't just stand there! Say something for me!"

It goes without saying that He Qiang's attack was belated.

Cheng Zhao didn't think he needed to speak.

During the medicinal herb sorting process, he and He Qiang were in the same group, and they both knew who was looking at whom.

As he helped Tao Tao up, he turned around and bumped into He Qiang, who glared at him fiercely.

Cheng Zhao: "...?"

At that moment, He Qiang's gaze gave him the uncanny feeling that he had met Tao Tao's parents ahead of time.

Seeing He Qiang's serious attitude, Liao Jiayue said with an awkward smile, "Teacher He Qiang, I shouldn't have brought this up again."

To everyone's surprise, He Qiang asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with mentioning this? The teacher doesn't seem to care."

What old?

teacher?

Who does He Qiang call teacher?

Everyone at the table looked at He Qiang, and Ye Hantao's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

Could the teacher He Qiang is referring to be Master Xie Feihuai?!

Aa ...

Wouldn't that make her crime even more serious?!

[Holy crap? Does He Qiang mean she's Xie Feihuai's apprentice?!]

There's no such news online!!!

[Since they're both in the art world, He Qiang wouldn't lie, would she?]

[Didn't Ye Hantao say in front of He Qiang that her teacher was good at painting bamboo because he loved eating bamboo shoots?]

[How could He Qiang tolerate this? She was quite friendly to Ye Hantao in the last episode!]

[This shows that He Qiang respects her teacher. She went home over the weekend to ask about her teacher's attitude before coming on the show to express her dislike.]

So Master Jie Feihuai is angry?

Ye Hantao swallowed. "Teacher He Qiang, I—"

“You shouldn’t call me Teacher He Qiang,” He Qiang interrupted Ye Hantao.

Ye Hantao: "?!!"

Have they gotten this angry?

Chen Xiaofeng had been trying to talk to Cheng Zhao for a long time, but Cheng Zhao didn't say anything. So he had to step in and smooth things over, saying, "Tao Tao is too young."

He Qiang followed up with, "You joined the sect later than me, so you have to call me senior sister."

Everyone: "?!?!"

Chen Xiaofeng almost bit his tongue.

Liao Jiayue looked on in disbelief, "Senior sister?!?"

"..." He Qiang frowned slightly, "I was referring to Tao Tao, she calls me senior sister."

Ye Hantao pointed to herself, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Senior Sister?"

"Yes, junior sister."

Everyone was stunned, and even Jin Shiyue dropped the spoon she was holding, which smashed into the bowl.

He Qiang then called him "junior sister" in a sweet and charming way?

Who is He Qiang's teacher?

The current president of the Chinese Painting Association, Xie Feihuai, whose paintings start at six figures and can reach as high as seven figures!

Who is He Qiang?

A leading figure among young painters, a big name in the art world who can hold solo exhibitions abroad!

Back when they first met, He Qiang was such a cold and unapproachable person, but now she's calling Ye Hantao "Junior Sister" in a gentle and warm manner.

Family, I think I'm hallucinating.

[Me too... I think I heard He Qiang call Ye Hantao "Junior Sister".]

[I definitely screamed "Ahhhhhh!"]

[Since Ye Hantao was able to be taught traditional Chinese painting by Xie Feihuai, her family background couldn't be too bad, right?]

[I can't take it anymore, I need to go back and rewatch it! Ye Hantao mentioned her traditional Chinese painting teacher more than once on the show!!!]

[Wait a minute!!! Didn't Ye Hantao say that her teacher and Xie Feihuai were classmates?!]

As soon as this comment appeared, everyone heard Ye Hantao also wondering, "The teacher said that she and Master Xie Feihuai were classmates."

He Qiang nodded, "Teachers do indeed become more playful as they get older."

This answer fulfilled Ye Hantao's question.

Ye Hantao felt a little dizzy.

So the traditional Chinese painting teacher really is Master Jie Feihuai?

Just as everyone was stunned by the fact that Ye Hantao had become a disciple of Master Xie Feihuai—

Cheng Zhao still remembers asking, "Master Xie Feihuai is skilled at painting bamboo, isn't he?"

He Qiang had already asked the teacher and knew the teacher's attitude.

"The teacher has always loved to eat. When he was young, he loved to eat bamboo shoots and was often in bamboo forests, so he naturally mastered the essence of bamboo shoots."

Ye Hantao opened her mouth.

It turns out the traditional Chinese painting teacher wasn't lying at all; he was clearly sharing his personal journey!

That noon, before lunch was even over, #YeHantaoStudiesJieFeihuai# became a trending topic.

Jie Feihuai even logged into his social media account, which is rare for him, and posted a new message.

@Jiefeihuai: I've been without internet in the mountains for so long that I finally saw Taotao on a variety show. She's even prettier than when I saw her last year.

Your teacher has always regretted that you chose law instead of pursuing painting, but it is your choice, and your teacher respects and supports you.

He Qiang, remember to take good care of your junior sister. Your teacher is waiting for you two to come back and have hot pot together.

[Damn! Damn! Damn!]

[Who previously mocked Ye Hantao for boasting?! Ye Hantao has already been very restrained!]

[Did Ye Hantao copy Master Xie's original works when she was learning to paint? I'm so envious!!!]

[You're all so envious, I'm dying of envy! Ye Hantao said Xie Feihuai loves to eat bamboo and I was mocking her like crazy!]

This scene seems familiar...

[I just remembered, I sided with Ji Changtu in mocking Ye Hantao's tea-tasting skills!!!]

【Ughhhhhh, why did I fall into the same pit twice?!】

Ye Hantao, who was envied by netizens, was also stunned. She never dreamed that her Chinese painting teacher could be Master Xie.

Why does Master Jie open an interest class near their neighborhood? The key is that the price is incredibly cheap!

Gradually, Ye Hantao's thinking changed again.

My traditional Chinese painting teacher is Jie Feihuai =^_^=

She joined the extracurricular class after passing the initial assessment by drawing!

Hehe, so happy, so happy, so happy!

"Tao Tao, are you free this weekend?" He Qiang asked. "Our teacher suggested that the three of us have hot pot together."

She hasn't seen the online post yet; it was something she mentioned when she met her teacher over the weekend.

Ye Hantao didn't have her Chinese painting teacher's contact information; her parents had asked her about the last time she met with him.

"Yes," Ye Hantao quickly replied, "There's only a charity auction on the weekend."

He Qiang nodded, "Okay."

"Stay away from Jin Shiyue in the future, don't let her lead you astray."

"...?"

[Hahahaha, He Qiang is making things difficult for Jin Shiyue again.]

[Sister Jin is on her way!]

Around 1 p.m., the traditional Chinese medicine doctor invited by the program team arrived and was sitting in the pavilion.

Six blind boxes of medicinal herbs, already sorted, were placed in front of him.

Ye Hantao and Wu Xia were paired up and sat together.

Just as the traditional Chinese medicine doctor was waiting to reveal the answer, He Qiang walked over and sat in the empty seat to her left.

Seeing this, Jin Shiyue also stepped forward and raised her chin at Wu Xia, "Move aside a bit, I'll sit next to Tao Tao."

Wu Xia: "..."

He obediently shifted one position.

So, Jin Shiyue sat between Wu Xia and Ye Hantao, right next to Ye Hantao.

Ignoring He Qiang's disapproving look, Jin Shiyue directly extended an invitation to Ye Hantao, "Do you want to study fashion design?"

Ye Hantao was puzzled. "Hmm?"

Kim Si-wol laid it all out and said, "I can introduce you to the creative directors of Gi and Fendi."

Seeing that Ye Hantao didn't answer, Jin Shiyue thought for a moment, "Or do you want to do a magazine shoot? I can get you on the cover of any of the top five magazines, which one do you like?"
