The housework robot quickly tidied up the sofa, and Zhang Heng finally had a place to sit down.
While Xu Qian was working, Zhang Heng also checked his character panel.

After working hard in the Rome quest, Zhang Heng finally increased his game points from zero to 217.
And the game items he brought this time had some changes. Zhang Heng replaced the White Horse Crown and Hunter's Blessing with Sheath and Heart of Kreis, strengthening his damage output. In terms of abilities, he had an additional Lvl 3 assassin skill.
However, Zhang Heng paid special attention to the evaluation column and found that for some reason, his ability to breathe underwater and manipulate currents had not been reflected after his trip to Yonaguni Island. On the contrary, the Shadow Wings was also an ability he obtained, and it was mentioned in the first sentence of the evaluation.
Fortunately, other than that, his character panel was normal.
Zhang Heng had been sitting on the sofa for more than 45 minutes. He had no idea how many cups of tea he had drunk, but the door of the studio was still locked.
It was not until more than an hour later that Xu Qian walked out of the room with a tired look on her face. After she came out, she held the teapot and drank the rest of the tea in it. After that, she sat down on the right side of Zhang Heng.
"Uh, aren't you going back to the bedroom to change first?"
"No, I have to start the show in more than an hour. I'll change it then," Xu Qian said and stretched her body. "By the way, where were we before?"
"Why did you hire a bodyguard?"
"Oh, it's actually not a big deal," Xu Qian said. "It's just that I felt like someone was following me some time ago."
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. "Did you see his face?"
"No, I can't even be sure if I'm really being followed," Xu Qian hesitated. Xu Qian hesitated for a while. "It's just a feeling like I'm being watched. Oh, yes. Once when I went home, I found that my mug seemed to have been touched. I am left-handed, so the handle of my mug has always been facing my left side. But that time, I found that the handle was facing the right side."
"Hmm. Other than that, is there anything else unusual? "Zhang Heng continued to ask.
"No," Xu Qian leaned against the back of the sofa after stretching her body. She looked like a cat now. "The alarm didn't go off, and there are no visitor records of room 3094 downstairs. I even went to the property management to check the elevator video that day. Well, I didn't find anything. So, maybe it's just my imagination. To be honest, I have been a little nervous recently."
"Because of what?"
"It's about work," Xu Qian sighed. "The income in this industry is not bad, but the competition is fierce, especially for mid-level streamers like us. The company's resources are all tilted toward the top streamers, and there is never a shortage of young and beautiful girls waiting to be promoted. The number of online viewers in my stream has been declining for four consecutive months, and the number of VIP customers who are willing to spend money to chat with me is also decreasing. Just now, I finally found one, so I tried to chat with him for a while."
Xu Qian shook her head. "Sorry, I shouldn't have complained to you about these things. In short, although I know that it's probably just the stress that makes me paranoid, I haven't been able to sleep for several consecutive nights. I happened to see your company's advertisement on the roadside, so I contacted your people and hired you to be my bodyguard for two weeks."
"It doesn't sound like a big deal. Why didn't you look for your friend first?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Friend?" Xu Qian looked at Zhang Heng strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just that I haven't heard this word for a while," Xu Qian said. "People in this industry spend most of their time on the Internet. They don't have the time and energy to make friends in real life. I do have a lot of colleagues, but they're always scheming against each other. There are only so many resources, and if you get more, I will naturally get less. So, it's not easy to maintain a superficial friendship. Even if I want to ask someone for help in private, I don't dare to do it. Otherwise, the next morning, the Internet will be full of negative news about me having a mental problem."
"It seems that your industry is not easy."
"That's right. If I didn't work in this industry, I wouldn't have been able to live on the third floor and rent such an apartment." Xu Qian's words revealed a lot of pride.
Of course, she had the right to be proud. While waiting for Xu Qian to end her stream, Zhang Heng did not stay idle. He continued to collect information on the Internet, especially information related to this city. Zhang Heng now knew that New Shanghai 0297 was divided into five floors.
Although there was no clear class division, due to the huge gap in prices and housing prices, these five floors did indeed divide the citizens of New Shanghai 0297 into five classes.
From the poor on the first floor to the billionaires on the fifth floor, the personal wealth increased with each floor. The infrastructure, living environment, education quality, and public security on each floor were also constantly improving. For example, the third floor where Xu Qian lived was mainly inhabited by university professors, some high-income public officials in the city, and the middle-level executives of large companies. Basically, they were the elites of society.
This situation would undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among the people at the bottom. Fortunately, the channel of promotion was relatively smooth, and there was a considerable amount of mobility between the classes. Hence, there had never been any major problems.
Xu Qian asked the housework robot to add some hot water to the teapot. "When I first came to New Shanghai 0297, I lived on the fifth floor. At that time, I was a nobody. I worked as a greeter in a small restaurant, and my daily job was to deal with idiots. Then, the company's talent scout met me and found that I looked good and was good at dealing with people. So, he signed a contract with me and introduced me to the livestream industry. After that, I relied on my own efforts to get to where I am now."
