Chapter 100 Pretending to be Poor "My uncle bought these counterfeit goods wholesale online."...
Ye Hantao was woken up by a sudden burst of electronic noise the next day.
She groggily turned over, thinking she should sleep a little longer.
Suddenly, Ye Hantao opened her eyes.
[Disease progression: 13%]
Ye Hantao sat up in surprise.
There's no live stream this early in the morning, so why would there be any persona feedback?!
"Tao Tao? You're awake?" Dormitory head Xia Ying asked when she heard the noise from the bed.
Ye Hantao hummed in agreement from behind the bed curtains, "Just woke up."
Xia Ying then spoke more freely: "Huihui went to Gangcheng early this morning, and Le Chu just went to the library. I brought back some breakfast from the cafeteria. Do you want some?"
Last night, her roommates watched the live stream in the dorm and naturally saw that Ye Hantao had a low-grade fever.
They guessed that Ye Hantao might have gotten up late this morning, so they moved quietly when washing up.
Ye Hantao pulled back the bed curtains, her eyes dazzled by the morning sun streaming in from the balcony.
"Eat! I'm coming down right away."
When Ye Hantao returned from brushing her teeth and washing her face on the balcony, there was already a bowl of millet porridge, a red bean roll, three steamed dumplings, and two beef patties on the table.
Normally, whoever gets up early on weekends and has free time will bring breakfast back for the other people in the dorm.
We've been living together for a year now, so we all know each other's tastes and appetites pretty well.
Xia Ying sipped her porridge. "I noticed you've been eating more lately, so I brought you an extra beef patty."
Ye Hantao picked up her phone to transfer the money, smiling brightly as she said, "I love you!"
After transferring the money, I received unread message notifications including messages of concern from my family and a message from Cheng Zhao sent around 6 or 7 pm.
The content was largely the same, asking her if she had a relapse after waking up.
Ye Hantao took the electronic thermometer from the bed and took her temperature—
36.5 degrees.
After sending them the picture, Ye Hantao picked up a pork and corn steamed dumpling and ate it.
The school cafeteria chefs aren't as skilled as those at Jinwan Hotel, but the food is still quite good.
Ye Hantao had seen online more than once people praising the food at the cafeteria of Yuncheng University of Political Science and Law.
Just as I finished eating two steamed dumplings and was about to eat a beef pie, Xia Ying's voice rang out behind me: "Tao'er, look, look! The people who are bashing you online have changed their tactics."
When Ye Hantao woke up, she wanted to go online to see why her character had been criticized. Upon hearing this, she quickly logged into the social media platform.
All night long, there were still several trending topics related to her, but the number one trending topic had changed.
It's no longer #YeHanTao'sUncleOliver#, but #WhoIsPayingForYeHanTao'sPretendingToBePoorPerson#.
Pretending to be poor?
Ye Hantao never imagined that one day she would be associated with pretending to be poor.
From childhood to adulthood, my family has always been clearly poor.
In the square, a blogger posted a long article with pictures, analyzing Ye Hantao's performance in the program "Classmates Are Here" frame by frame.
Ye Hantao's fingers flew across the screen as she browsed the full text.
In summary, the blogger's point is that she has an extraordinary lifestyle, yet she dressed very plainly when she made her appearance.
First, have a family member take her in an electric tricycle, then repackage the valuables as ordinary goods.
Examples include mosquito repellent with fluorescent packaging and white T-shirts that are so cheap they'd stutter if you said 399.
Since they were already pretending, they still used a vain and lying attitude to tell the truth on the show, just to slap netizens in the face!
[That makes sense! If Ye Hantao had revealed all her family's identities when she first appeared, she might have generated a lot of buzz, but it certainly wouldn't have the terrifying amount of traffic she has now.]
There are also people from prominent families in the industry; if they really wanted to hide it, it would be impossible to find out!
[So you're just using a fake poor persona to gain attention? We're all clowns, hahaha.]
Seeing these comments, Ye Hantao finally understood where the electronic voice that gave the persona feedback that morning came from.
She used to lie about being rich to maintain her persona, but now she has to continue lying about being poor to maintain her persona, even though everyone has seen through her lies.
Xia Ying was worried that Ye Hantao's mood would be affected by the comments, so she strolled over and took a look. She immediately became anxious, "Don't look at what this blogger posted. She's a fan of Liao Jiayue, and the comment section is full of Liao Jiayue's fan club activities."
"Look over here!" Xia Ying placed her phone in front of Ye Hantao.
Ye Hantao collected her thoughts and looked away from the screen, while Xia Ying was looking at the real-time comments.
[Hilarious! Did Ye Hantao ever say she was poor from beginning to end? Isn't it just that you all have this stereotype about what rich people are like and what poor people are like?]
[I saw people stirring up trouble in the live stream last night, but I ignored them. Now they've actually bought their way onto the trending topics? If you weren't prejudiced against Ye Hantao and weren't led astray by Liao Jiayue's fans, would you have been proven wrong?]
Ye Hantao has absolutely no obligation to tell you what her family members do for a living! Understand?
Those who liked Ye Hantao from the first episode are now feeling incredibly happy, hehe.
[Today was even better!!! Wu Xia drew lots to see Tao Tao's place!!! I want to see it!]
[Holy crap?! !!! The legendary mountain wind is holding another giveaway!!! Let's go!]
"Oh my god! I'll be a denominator!" Xia Ying hurriedly flipped to Shanfeng's new post.
Ye Hantao saw that Xia Ying, with the title of "Ye Hantao Super Topic" level 18, forwarded, commented on and liked the post made by Cheng Zhao using the pseudonym "Shanfeng Bufeihua".
@MountainWindDoesNoNonsense:
Prize draw conditions:
1. Super Topic Level ≥ 18
2. Historical barrage comments for "Classmates Are Here" since its broadcast.
prize:
We will randomly select 100 fans to receive a Velvion pearl brooch.
This time, the comments section was a mixed bag.
[Still licking her boots? Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao have been exchanging glances for a long time!]
[I thought you at least had the financial means to beat Cheng Zhao, but it turns out he's the heir to the Dingxin Group. No wonder Ye Hantao ignores you.]
Although Cheng Zhao made the statement last night that his uncle was far inferior to him, Ye Hantao had known him for a long time.
Afterwards, Cheng Zhao admitted that he misunderstood her fever because he was frightened by the attention she received.
Ye Hantao: "..."
Ye Hantao messaged him privately: [Aren't you going to expose Shanfeng Bufeihua's alternate account?]
[No leaks.] Cheng Zhao had just returned from his morning exercise when he passed by the old man who had given him a cold snort. The old man replied quickly, [Mountain Wind, no nonsense, that's why I'm your fan.]
Ye Hantao didn't say anything more. After checking that her logged-in account was correct, she forwarded Cheng Zhao's giveaway post.
I'd also like to add this: I'll be randomly selecting 100 fans to receive a Velvion pearl brooch each, paid for by my uncle.
Ye Hantao felt no guilt whatsoever when she typed out the words "My uncle will pay the bill."
"Hey, only 100 followers? Why not give out 10,000?" Zhou Yi muttered on the phone. "I promised to pay when we video chatted yesterday, so you don't need to think about saving me money."
When Ye Hantao was making the video, she hadn't anticipated the trending topic. It was simply that her uncle, in order to cover up his sins, said he would buy her a bunch of jewelry.
Today is Saturday. Ye Hantao ate lunch at school and finished writing the assignment given by her teacher before leaving the dormitory building.
Just before hanging up the phone, I walked to the dormitory and saw Wu Xia and the cameraman who had just arrived.
Wu Xia drew lots to visit her residence. When she mentioned that she was going home in the afternoon, Wu Xia asked if they should meet at her doorstep.
Ye Hantao pondered for a moment and told him to come to the school when he had time.
"I'm free. The director gave me a whole day off."
That's great!
"Here, I brought two bottles of water from the dorm." Ye Hantao stepped forward and handed the bottled water to Wu Xia and the cameraman. "Let's go, my uncle is here to pick me up."
I can see Oliver!
【Aaaaaaah, I didn't even see him yesterday!】
[Hilarious! Ye Hantao finally got to use Oliver as her uncle to slap you guys in the face, of course she had to bring him out for a spin.]
[Who's laughing so hard? We weren't proven wrong, hahaha.]
[Only when Ye Hantao mentioned that her uncle was relentlessly mocking the haters did they finally get their faces slapped in the face, right?]
[Hatemakers, shut up! Liao Jiayue has just had a bunch of scandals exposed, hurry up and think of ways to clear your sister's name!]
Outside the school gate, Zhou Yi leaned against a black Cullinan, his phone displaying information he had just had someone find out.
This Liao Jiayue is quite interesting. Did she really think that the reason they didn't investigate her before was because they didn't want to? It was because it was difficult to investigate without going through the proper channels.
Zhou Yi looked up and saw Tao Tao and the other two coming out of the campus. He put away his phone and raised his hand high.
He was wearing a pink three-quarter sleeve shirt, the hem loosely tucked into his casual pants.
But he always acted reliable in front of Ye Hantao, rarely putting on a refined gentlemanly demeanor.
【Huh? This is Oliver? Is it fake?】
Oliver dyed his hair?
Is it possible that this is his natural hair color...?
Even with his face covered, his outfit alone perfectly reflects his style.
I'm a little unaccustomed to him being so serious.
【Wait, what kind of hobbies do they have??? Maze made a limited edition skin with black skin and white hair, and Oliver has a limited edition skin too? Are they afraid we'll recognize them?】
Ye Hantao waved in Zhou Yi's direction.
In the few steps she walked from the school gate, she had already seen seven or eight passersby glancing at her uncle.
Zhou Yi was overjoyed after being acknowledged by Tao Tao.
He patted the car beside him like a peacock and waved his hand, "Come on, Tao Tao, let's go for a ride!"
He originally wanted to drive over in a red Ferrari, but Tao Tao said that Wu Xia and the cameraman were already there.
After thinking it over, he drove a four-seater Cullinan.
well.
This proper Cullinan is really not his style.
Ye Hantao ran over and asked loudly, "Uncle, where did you borrow the car from?!"
Was it a borrowed car?
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, but in a flash, he realized what was happening.
Tao Tao must have completely believed their explanation in yesterday's video, no wonder her fever subsided so quickly.
"Oh, I just borrowed it from a random car rental shop." Zhou Yi sighed. "Work has been bad lately, and I haven't been making much money, so I have to borrow cars to make ends meet."
【?????】
[Oliver borrowing a car? Really? Is he about to be kicked out of the Velvion Group?]
[Why would he need to borrow a Cullinan?! He just bought a luxury cruise ship last month! Worth hundreds of millions!]
[What? So this was Ye Hantao's real intention? What if we mocked her uncle for borrowing the car, and then she just revealed he owns a luxury cruise ship to embarrass us?]
[Damn, I knew Ye Hantao called Wu Xia to come to school to meet up, she just wanted to see us get humiliated!]
[Disease progression: 12%]
Ye Hantao was satisfied; it turned out that this also fit the persona of a liar.
Then Zhou Yi heard Tao Tao say, "Uncle, I was just kidding. You're a CEO, you can definitely afford a car."
Zhou Yi's expression was beaming. "That's right. Let alone a car, even if you want to take a cruise or a plane, your uncle can afford it."
When they got home, Ye Hantao and Wu Xia each received a box.
Zhou Yi: "Apart from a few items that need to be pre-ordered, all the rest of the high-end jewelry at the exhibition are here. You two can choose whatever you like."
Wu Xia: "?!!"
He suddenly felt that the box was extremely hot to the touch.
Ye Hantao opened the box and was dazzled by the shimmering gems and jade inside.
The pink diamond necklace in the very center is the one the waiter said represents unwavering love and fidelity; the waiter said it costs 29.99 million.
Zhou Yi also caught a glimpse of the necklace.
More than one guest was interested in it, but Cheng Zhao had different requirements, insisting that the conch pearls used in the custom-made one must be of the highest quality.
Ye Hantao stared blankly at the box of jewelry, which was worth about 100 million yuan. Are all high-level employees this rich?
[Trigger rebound +1]
Ye Hantao snapped out of her daze, looked at Wu Xia, and blurted out, almost without thinking, "Ren Lang is awake."
Wu Xia: "Huh?"
[Hahahaha, Tao Tao is amazing! Ren Lang just posted an update a minute ago to let everyone know he's safe!]
[I didn't expect Ye Hantao to care so much about Ren Lang?]
This illustrates that Ye Hantao responded to injustice with straightforwardness.
[Someone summarized the things Ren Lang and Ye Hantao said, and they were indeed a bit cryptic (picking nose.jpg). Ye Hantao's lack of remorse shows how magnanimous she is.]
Ren Lang, who had just started the live stream, turned pale.
At the same time Ye Hantao said he woke up, he experienced severe heart pain and almost fainted from the pain!
"System! I want to change my account!"
[Talent points have been reset to zero and cannot be re-bound.]
Ye Hantao was dividing jewelry with Wu Xia when she heard the electronic voice.
Jewelry worth hundreds of millions was simply scattered on the carpet.
The audience felt both envious and heartbroken.
Seeing Wu Xia quietly decline, Ye Hantao thought for a moment, "Wu Xia, which one do you think suits Ang'ang best?"
Wu Xia hesitated for a few seconds before picking out a watch inlaid with yellow gemstones.
Ye Hantao then asked, "Which one would suit Teacher He Qiang and Sister Shi Yue?"
Wu Xia hesitated for a few more seconds before picking out a pearl bracelet and ruby earrings.
Ye Hantao asked again, "Which one is suitable for Wu Xia?"
Wu Xia subconsciously picked out a simple brooch.
"?!?!" Before he could refuse, Tao Tao had already stuffed the brooch into his hand.
"Take it." Ye Hantao gathered the other jewelry into the box. "My uncle bought these as imitations online; they're worthless."
After she finished speaking, Ye Hantao waited for several minutes but did not hear any feedback on the next round of character design.
Did I just lie?
