What are you trying to say? "Xu Qian asked.
"I remember you told me that the number of viewers in your livestream has been declining for a while."
"And then?"
"Then, you suddenly met your Prince Charming. He's outstanding in all aspects, and it just so happens that he can give you what you've always yearned for. He'll bring you to live on the fourth level, and if nothing goes wrong, you'll agree to his proposal. You'll announce the news on the live broadcast and say goodbye to your fans. This way, you will be out of the public's sight, which is exactly what they want. It means that no matter what happens to you next, no one will know. "
"How is that possible? Even if the number of viewers in my livestream has been declining, there are still more than 400,000 viewers," Xu Qian said.
"But once you retire, these people will soon flock to other livestreams. You know this very well, right? In the first few weeks, people may talk about you, and the news of you marrying into a rich family will appear in the newspapers. But soon, the popularity will die down. In a few months, except for die-hard fans like E-Goat, most people will forget your name."
Xu Qian was speechless. As a newbie streamer, she had fought her way up to become a famous streamer. Of course, she knew how cruel this industry was. There was no shortage of newbies waiting to be promoted. Not to mention her, even Tang, who used to be popular, setting a series of records and was known as the most perfect streamer, was rarely mentioned by others.
However, Xu Qian still found it difficult to accept Zhang Heng's speculation.
On one side was a life that was within reach, and on the other side was a terrifying abyss. It was not difficult to choose what to believe.
Xu Qian took two steps back and said to Zhang Heng, "I have seen what you want me to see. It's time to go back."
"But there is still something you haven't seen," Zhang Heng said. "You think that the boss of Fu Ji, Jiang Hong, and the landlord have joined forces to deceive you. Why don't you look for your distant cousin? You said that she used to work at Fu Ji with you, and later, she fell out with you because of the streamer. No matter what, she and you are related by blood. Why don't we go and confirm with her?"
"I won't go to her. You're right. We've broken up. We'll never see each other again." "Well, I don't care who you are going to look for next. Anyway, I don't want to stay here for another second. Look at this damn place. The streets and the air here are terrible. I'm going back to the third level." Xu Qian said as she threw the cigarette in her hand under her feet and stamped it out.
After that, Xu Qian waved her hand and hailed a taxi. She got into the passenger seat and said to the driver, "Go to the station as soon as possible. If you can get there in ten minutes, I'll pay you double the fare."
On the other hand, Zhang Heng did not stop Xu Qian. He just stood there and watched the taxi leave quickly.
Less than two minutes later, a black SUV stopped in front of Zhang Heng.
The window on the passenger seat rolled down, and Zhang Heng saw Miss F's face. Miss F's words were as concise as ever, and she went straight to the point. "Get in the car. Mr. G wants to see you."
An hour later, the black SUV had almost reached the edge of the first level. Finally, it stopped in front of a huge glass house. Zhang Heng and Miss F got out of the car and looked around.
This place seemed to be a private garden. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.
Such a garden was not uncommon on the third and fourth levels, but it was rare on the first level, where people cared more about bread and milk. And when Zhang Heng walked in, he found that not only were all kinds of flowers and trees planted here, but there were also bees here. And there were a lot of them too.
As soon as he opened the door, he could hear a buzzing sound. Thousands of bees were constantly shuttling back and forth among the flowers, inserting their mouthparts into the flowers to collect nectar. After that, they would return to the hive. They repeated this process tirelessly. In front of the hive stood a man wearing a straw hat. He was busy taking out a nest frame from the hive. After that, he used a knife to cut off the honeycombs and put them into a wooden bucket on the side.
After he finished all this, he inserted the nest frame back into the hive, straightened up, and walked toward Zhang Heng.
"Welcome, we meet again." Mr. G took off the straw hat with a veil on his head, handed it and a knife to the bodyguard on the side, and shook hands with Zhang Heng.
He seemed to be in a good mood today. Seeing that Zhang Heng was still looking at the beehive behind him, he smiled and said, "This is one of my little favorites."
"Do you make your own honey?" Zhang Heng asked.
"No, no, no. Honey is just a by-product. What I like is to keep bees, especially to observe these little furry things with wings. Have you ever learned about bees? Their habits, social structure, and population characteristics? "
"I'd like to hear the details."
"Bees and humans have a lot in common. We both need to produce and reproduce, and in order to make these two things more efficient, we have evolved a corresponding social division of labor. I'm sure you've heard about the responsibilities of different bees in a bee colony."
"Well, I've heard a little about it."
Mr. G took the water bottle handed by the bodyguard and drank a few mouthfuls. After that, he said excitedly, "There is only one queen bee in each colony. Its main responsibility is to reproduce. It doesn't need to do any productive work. All it needs to do is lie comfortably in the hive every day and wait for the worker bees to feed it. It's the top of the pyramid. Below it are the drone bees. They live a good life, and they don't need to do heavy labor. After all, it can't be done by one person alone. You need someone else to help you reproduce.
"But the problem is that only one of these males can mate with the Queen Bee in the end. Before that, they have to fight each other to decide the winner, and the winner will die immediately after mating. It doesn't sound very good, does it? But every individual has its own use in society. Finally, let's take a look at the worker bees. "
Mr. G stretched out his hand and let a bee that was flying in the air stop on his finger. "They are located at the bottom of the pyramid, and there are a large number of them. They have the most social division of labor, and their responsibilities are the heaviest. From collecting honey, incubating eggs, cleaning the egg house, feeding the larvae, the queen bee, the drones, the hive guards … They work almost all the time. They are given a certain mission from birth, and they believe that what they are doing is extremely important. In fact, they are also the easiest to replace in the entire colony."
As Mr. G spoke, he suddenly crushed the bee on his fingertips without warning. "Look, nothing happened. The colony is still operating normally."
