 in such stores, our business operation and management may appear in internet postings and other media sources from time to time
and we cannot assure you that other types of negative publicity of a more serious nature will not arise in the future. For example, if
our customer service representatives fail to satisfy the individual needs of our consumers, our consumers may become disgruntled and disseminate
negative comments about our product offerings and services. In addition, our brand partners may also be subject to negative publicity
for various reasons, such as consumers’ complaints about the quality of their products and related services or other public relation
incidents of such brand partners, which may adversely affect the sales of products of these brand partners in the stores operated by us
and indirectly affect our reputation.

Moreover, negative publicity about other online
retailers or brand management player in China may arise from time to time and cause consumers and suppliers to lose confidence in the
products and services we offer. Any such negative publicity, regardless of veracity, may have a material adverse effect on our business
and financial results, our reputation and the trading price of our ordinary shares.

If counterfeit products are sold in the
stores we operate or other channels where the products are distributed, our reputation and financial results could be materially and adversely
affected.

We represent reputable brands, and we source goods
from our brand partners directly or through third party procurement agents authorized by our brand partners. However, their measures of
safeguarding against counterfeit products may not be adequate. Although we have indemnity clauses in most of our contracts with our brand
partners, sales could decline and we may suffer reputational harm. We may be subject to sanctions under applicable laws and regulations
if we are deemed to have participated or assisted in infringement activities associated with counterfeit goods, which may include injunctions
to cease infringing activities, rectification, compensation, administrative penalties and even criminal liability, depending on the gravity
of such misconduct. Furthermore, counterfeit products may be defective or inferior in quality as compared to authentic products and may
pose safety risks to consumers. If consumers are injured by counterfeit products sold through the stores we operate or the platform we
operated, we may be subject to lawsuits, severe administrative penalties and criminal liability. We believe our reputation is extremely
important to our success and our competitive position. The discovery of counterfeit products sold through the stores we operate or the
platform we operated may severally damage our reputation among brand partners, and they may refrain from using our services in the future,
