Yi Yeqing did not respond, so NT concluded anyway: "You definitely did not have a family tutor. Such a family tutor is not someone who teaches physics, chemistry or other pointless material. This is someone who is supposed to teach fencing, etiquette and horse riding."

Question 9: What kind of music do you listen to? Where do you listen to it?

Yi Yeqing said that she likes to listen to music conducted by Herbert von Karajan.

NT replied: "We watch live opera."

After these exchanges, Yi Yeqing was completely routed. Her only counter-attack was to accuse NT of not working, because all the successful upper-class people that she has seen worked. NT said calmly: "Upper class people do not work. Our forebears have accumulated much wealth over the generations to the point where we don't need to work anymore. We let people who work for us invest our money." "We all have our own trust funds."

Then NT gave his summation: "Ms. Yi is a petty white-collar person who yearned to be in the upper class. Unfortunately, she has no clue about how the upper class society lives. She fantasizes about her own upper class society and she arrogantly despises those around her. True upper-class ladies are low-keyed, cultured and broad-minded."

Then NT used the same tone that Yi Yeqing used for the peasants back on her: "A wild chicken is a wild chicken, and it will never turn into a phoenix. I don't want to treat you so cruelly, but your horrendous performance will cause people who are not aware of the truth to misunderstand the upper class society. Within our circle, there is no one like the type of uncultured, shameless, vain and boastful person that you are."

Yi Yeqing was reduced to pleading that she was just "an ordinary person" who depended on her own labor to earn money.
