An anti-discrimination bout staged in China's cyberspace

To further prove that Yi Yeqing is just vulgar nouveau riche, NT posed nine lifestyle questions and insisted that she answer them. For those that she answered, NT critiqued them with scathing effectiveness.

Question 1: What color clothes do you usually wear? What brands? What brand of watch do you wear? Do you wear jewelry? When do you wear them? Where do you get your jewelry?

For clothes, Yi Yeqing liked PORTS. She has seven watches, of which the most expensive is a Patek Philippe that her father gave her for work.

NT used his younger sister as the example to "educate" Yi Yeqing about how upper society dresses. "Their clothes have no labels because they are custom-made in several specialized shops in Paris. These shops are not open for business because they only cater to their regular clientele."

"Upper society girls dress conservatively. They usually wear black, gray or something light. Bright clothes are worn only on rare occasions. They never wear purple. They don't usually wear any jewelry. The jewelry is worn only on special occasions, and they wear only family heirlooms."

NT said that each Patek Philippe has a serial number, and the company will register carefully when, where and to whom it was sold and that information is sent back to Switzerland. As far as he knows, Patek Philippe has never sold a watch to any Chinese named Yi. Therefore, NT relentlessly pushed Yi Yeqing to publish her Patek Philippe serial number.

Question 2: Do you drive yourself or do you have a chauffeur? What is the brand of your car? What color is it?

Yi Yeqing has a Lexus at home, but she prefers a particular Honda brand.

NT's standard answer is that BMW and Benz are only for the nouveau riche. "We have Chevrolets. In white."
