Chapter 96 VIP: "My uncle always gives me the best of everything."...

Chapter 96 VIP: "My uncle always gives me the best of everything."...

The night wind blows by, and the neon lights cast colorful spots of light.

The waiter was slightly taken aback when he saw Ye Hantao take out another invitation.

The viewers in the live stream were also stunned.

They could see that the guests at the door were people Ren Langhe and the production team had suggested, saying that he was exchanging pleasantries with the group's VIPs, and some of them didn't like being on camera.

However, not wanting the audience to be bored, he simply left the two cameramen at the entrance, and the celebrities and internet personalities passing by didn't mind appearing on camera.

So, the invitation Ye Hantao used wasn't from Ren Lang?

Where did Ye Hantao get the invitation?

Is this difficult? Cheng Zhao gave it to me.

[Ye Hantao's line, "I don't need it," was really cool, hahaha.]

The waiter lowered his head and carefully examined the first invitation he received, confirming it was indeed for a VIP table.

Even—

The most prestigious main table, A01.

"May I ask who the invitee, Lumina, is?"

"Me?"

Ye Hantao tilted her head slightly, a smile appearing at the corners of her upturned eyes. "Lumina, that's my English name."

Lumina.

Cheng Zhao silently repeated it a few times between his lips and teeth; it turned out that this was Tao Tao's English name.

In Latin, it means "light".

Even though Ye Hantao personally admitted that Lumina was her English name, the waiter still had doubts.

That's impossible.

Only six people were able to sit at the main table A01 at this joint exhibition.

They are Aurelia's CEO and Velvion's Vice President, two creative directors, and two top partners.

As for those customers who spend tens of millions or even millions of yuan a year, they are all at the two tables on either side.

Next come international film queens, A-list superstars, top-tier artists, and some minor celebrities and internet personalities.

According to Lorenzo's prior instructions, Ye Hantao should have been seated at a table very far back.

However, Ye Hantao's invitation clearly stated that she would be sitting at the main table with the group's CEO.

The A01 main table is the only one in the entire exhibition.

It is known that the CEOs of the two major groups cannot be Ye Hantao, nor can the two creative directors be Ye Hantao.

The remaining two top-tier partners.

One of them was Cheng Zhao, standing before him.

Another business partner arrived two or three minutes ago, so whose seat should Ye Hantao sit in with this invitation?

Seeing the waiter standing motionless like a wooden statue for a long time, Cheng Zhao asked impatiently, "Is there a problem with the invitation?"

He wanted to ask for another invitation, but Tao Tao said she already had one and there was no need to bother.

Cheng Zhao naturally assumed that he was referring to the one by Ren Lang.

To my surprise, there was a second one.

“No problem!” When the waiter looked at Ye Hantao again, he bowed his back and looked very respectful. “Please follow me, both of you.”

Why did the waiter's attitude suddenly change?

Cheng Zhao's expression was very fierce.

[After all, it was his invitation; the waiter couldn't afford to be negligent (hands on hips.jpg)]

As soon as this comment appeared, Cheng Zhao asked Ye Hantao, "Where did you get that invitation?"

“My uncle gave it to me.” Ye Hantao walked briskly, deliberately exaggerating, “He has a wide network of connections; he can just say a word and someone will deliver an invitation to your door.”

Holy crap!!!

[Who said Cheng Zhao gave it to them! Listen to this!]

[Any inside information? What does Ye Hantao's uncle do?]

Ye Hantao did mention her uncle on a variety show.

[You arrived late, what did you bring?]

She said her uncle kept several lions as pets.

【？？？？？？】

At the same time, the family members watching from outside the screen were both shocked and furious.

"Has Zhou Yi lost his mind?!"

"He sent Tao Tao an invitation without saying a word???"

Xie Bairong stood up angrily, "That kid is never serious!"

"Calm down first." Zhou Shuqiong tugged at his arm, making him sit down, and asked gently, "In the past, Tao Tao would catch a cold and get a fever if Weizheng even mentioned a promotion or a raise. Look at her now."

Now?

When Xie Bairong belatedly realized that Tao Tao had mentioned that her uncle had a wide network of connections, his expression remained the same as always.

"Is it possible that Tao Tao didn't actually believe the show's requirement for a vain persona?"

"But we've already got the invitation, so how can you think Zhou Yi is ordinary?"

After a moment's consideration, Zhou Shuqiong said, "Tao Tao may be able to imagine a wide network of connections, but it's still not wide enough."

Ye Weizheng, Zhou Ti, and Zhou Mingsheng shared the same idea.

Ye Weizheng's tone was sour, "The next one in our family to be admitted to the right path is that kid Zhou Yi, isn't he?"

One of the cameramen stayed at the door, while the other followed Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao inside.

The camera remained fixed on them, not turning towards the main table.

The waiter led them through a series of round tables and past the guests who had arrived at the mansion earlier and were already seated, straight to the main table at the front.

This Kaohsiung-Zhuhai exhibition is divided into three areas.

The VIP area, celebrity area, and influencer area are located from front to back.

As Ye Hantao passed by a table in the middle, she suddenly met Liao Jiayue's gaze.

They haven't seen each other since Liao Jiayue left the variety show "Classmates Are Here".

[Holy crap?!]

[Liao Jiayue is here too?!]

I just checked, and I've lost almost two million followers.

Only two million?

These are all active fans!

Liao Jiayue's apology at the press conference seemed quite sincere; it's possible that her agent really made the decision on their own.

[Haha, those who believe this excuse will be selling you health supplements when you're old.]

Ye Hantao had no intention of chatting with Liao Jiayue. She looked at him for only a second before looking away and continuing to walk forward with the waiter.

【Wait, isn't Ye Hantao going in the wrong direction?】

Although Ye Hantao isn't a celebrity, was she sitting in the celebrity section?

I'm still waiting to see who sits closer to the center position, Ye Hantao or Liao Jiayue!

[Uh, have you guys forgotten Ye Hantao's family background? The seat her uncle got for her is probably in the VIP section.]

Liao Jiayue's family background is also quite good!

[It's said that VIP clients in the VIP area spend over 10 million RMB annually at Aurelia and Velvion. The rest of the clients, spending around a million RMB annually, are sitting in the celebrity section. Didn't you notice that the person sitting next to Liao Jiayue is an ordinary person?]

Doesn't this mean Ye Hantao's family background far surpasses Liao Jiayue's?

Liao Jiayue watched Ye Hantao walk forward, her hands clenched into fists under the tablecloth.

Why is Ye Hantao's seat further forward than hers?!

After seeing increasingly outlandish speculations about Ye Hantao's family background online, she asked her father to help her investigate.

Among all the companies in the country that rank ahead of hers, there are only five whose bosses share the surname Ye, and none of them have a junior like Ye Hantao!

The search on Maze revealed that the father was a real estate agent and the mother was an accountant.

Starting with Zhou Shumiao, the investigation led to her maternal grandparents, who were retired elementary school teachers.

Liao Jiayue then looked at Cheng Zhao, who was coming and going with Ye Hantao, and suspected that Cheng Zhao had helped Ye Hantao get a seat near the front.

She had only just discovered that Cheng Zhao was the young master of Dingxin Group and currently its vice president.

Moreover, he is the grandson of a Spanish shipping magnate.

With such a background, Cheng Zhao's feelings for Ye Hantao couldn't last long, no matter how much he cared; he simply couldn't get past his family's objections.

Liao Jiayue suppressed her discomfort and opened her best friend's chat window on her phone.

Over the years since she transmigrated into the book, she has, through her deliberate efforts, become best friends with the protagonist of the series.

The other party is currently on her honeymoon in Switzerland with her new husband, which is why she didn't have time to come to Gaozhuzhan.

In "My Classmate is Here," the female lead who transmigrated from a book didn't use Ye Hantao as a comparison group. Her best friend, as the local female lead, would definitely be able to keep Ye Hantao in check.

At this moment, Ren Lang also noticed Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao, who had been brought to the main table by the waiter.

He chuckled softly.

Ye Hantao was indeed as vain as he had imagined.

He only found out that Cheng Zhao was actually the CEO of Dingxin Group's biological son after he went back to the group to check the information.

However, he also checked the invitations that Cheng Zhao had given him, and found that there was only one and he did not ask for any more.

In other words, Ye Hantao used the invitation he sent to attend the Gaozhu Exhibition, but Ye Hantao's seat was not here at all.

Ren Lang greeted her apologetically, "Tao Tao, I'm so sorry, my abilities are limited, I really couldn't arrange for you and President Cheng to be together."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hantao tilted her head and asked Cheng Zhao, "Where are you sitting?"

Cheng Zhao glanced at the invitation casually, "A01".

Ye Hantao reached out to the waiter and asked him for her invitation.

She had already seen the seating chart on the invitation; she only brought it over for one purpose.

Ye Hantao held the invitation card between her fingers and waved it in front of Ren Lang, a smile spreading across her face. "You don't need to make arrangements, we can sit together."

[Hahaha, I take back what I said earlier. Ye Hantao's line was the coolest!]

【No need for you to arrange it, we can sit together, tsk tsk tsk!】

[Ren Lang is the creative director of Aurelia, how could he make such a big mistake?]

Doesn't anyone care that Ren Lang calls Cheng Zhao "Little Boss Cheng"?! Who's this "Boss" anyway?!

[Judging from the celebrity seating chart leaked online, A01 is definitely the center position; the CEOs of two major corporations are sitting at this table.]

The letter A01 on the invitation was particularly eye-catching.

Ren Lang looked astonished, almost blurting out, "How could this be?"

As someone who was somewhat in the know, Cheng Zhao was no less surprised than Ren Lang.

Are Tao Tao's family no longer going to hide it? Then why would he need to help cover for her?

The waiter smiled awkwardly at Ren Lang, and then led Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao to the A01 round table in front of Ren Lang.

Upon closer inspection, there really was a nameplate for Lumina on the table, placed alongside that of the creative director of the Velvion Group.

This indicates that the invitation came from Velvion.

Ye Hantao sat down under the watchful eyes of a table of foreigners and skillfully responded to their greetings in a foreign language.

The Gao Zhu Exhibition will begin in ten minutes.

Jin Shiyue and Chen Xiaofeng both entered right on time.

The two sat at the same table, next to the main table A01.

Jin Shiyue did not sit down immediately, but scanned the room to find Ye Hantao, intending to pull Ye Hantao to sit next to her.

Given her status in the fashion industry, both major conglomerates would give her this face.

Chen Xiaofeng, on the other hand, looked intently at the main table in room A01, intending to see if Cheng Zhao had turned into a statue waiting for his wife.

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened. "Ye Hantao? What are you doing sitting here!"

Ye Hantao looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Chen Xiaofeng and Jin Shiyue.

Just as she was about to greet him, she saw Chen Xiaofeng looking at her with a look of utter disbelief, "Your table... I can't even squeeze in!"

Chen Xiaofeng didn't believe that Cheng Zhao could have such power in the two major groups, so it could only be due to Ye Hantao's connections.

Ye Hantao looked bewildered: "Huh?"

The seven or eight tables in the front row are about the same size, aren't they?

She listened to a lot of gossip while playing cards and mahjong with Sui Sui and others.

It is said that Chen Xiaofeng's family is a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong, with businesses all over the world.

Ye Hantao quickly focused her attention on checking the other identity cards on the table.

"..."

At this moment, she couldn't help but question her own foreign language skills.

Otherwise, why would her deskmates be either CEOs or vice presidents?

There were four people at their table, including the CEO and vice presidents!

What exactly is my uncle's identity?

With the camera in front of her, Ye Hantao not only maintained her calm and composed demeanor, but also couldn't resist her vanity and competitive spirit.

“My uncle said he’d give me the best.” She glanced at the chairs of the other four CEOs and said with feigned regret, “I don’t see how my chair is any more comfortable than theirs.”
