The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

Chapter 68 The Tragic Background of the Female Anchor! Her Entire Family Are Criminals?!

Su Nianqing lowered her head, her gaze falling on the water glass on the table. Her voice was soft, tinged with bitterness.

"I am indeed short of money. My grandmother is old and often in poor health. I don't want to be helpless when she gets sick, so I need to earn a lot of money to treat her illnesses and support her in her old age."

She paused, her fingers tracing the surface of the water glass.

"My rent is also due soon, and I need a lot of money. If I can't pay, my grandma and I will have to sleep on the streets."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo remained silent for a moment, picked up his water glass, took a sip, and put it down.

"Being a live streamer is not an easy career path. The income is very unstable, and without a unique selling point, it's hard to make it big."

Su Nianqing looked up at him, her peach blossom eyes showing no rebuttal, only a calm acceptance of reality.

"I know. But the usual ways of making money are too slow, and I'm afraid my grandma won't live to see that day."

Chen Mo did not speak.

He offered no comment on Su Nianqing's choice.

Everyone has their own path and ideas. Some people feel that working a regular job is reliable, while others dream of becoming an internet sensation and getting rich overnight.

As long as you don't break the law, commit crimes, or steal, you're not wrong.

He thought for a moment and then said something.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to appear in the public eye online. So I can't grant your request."

Su Nianqing's eyes dimmed slightly, like a lamp swaying in the wind, but she quickly regained her composure.

She nodded, a smile playing on her lips, her voice still gentle.

"It's alright, then forget it. I still want to thank you."

Chen Mo looked at her forced calm without looking away.

"Where are your parents? Don't they care?"

Su Nianqing paused for a moment, her finger stopping on the side of the cup.

She lowered her head, remained silent for a few seconds, and spoke even softer than before.

"One of them is dead, and the other went abroad. But it's no different from being dead, because they were both criminals and will never dare to come back in this lifetime."

Chen Mo paused slightly, his fingers resting on the rim of the cup, without moving.

He never expected that this girl had such a story.

Su Nianqing looked up, saw his reaction, and twitched her lips, a self-deprecating smile in her eyes.

"Actually, there's not much of a story. It's just that my parents were involved in different things. One of them was smuggling cultural relics, and the other was suspected of financial fraud. When they were being arrested, my mother crashed her car into a tree and died on the spot. My father got wind of it beforehand and escaped, and they still haven't caught him."

She picked up her water glass, took a sip, put it down, and continued, "I was only five years old that year. Actually, I grew up at my grandmother's house, and I've hardly ever seen them, let alone had any feelings for them."

Her tone was so calm, as if she were telling someone else's story.

"I've had a good life at my grandma's house all these years and have never had to worry about money. But recently, my grandpa and my uncle were also arrested."

Chen Mo frowned.

Why?

Su Nianqing sighed, her voice even more bitter.

"Because they were suspected of organized crime and money laundering, everything in their house was seized. So my grandma and I came to the county town, where the rent is cheaper."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Good heavens, this whole family, not a single one of them is a good person?!

No, only Su Nianqing is alright; at least she hasn't committed any crimes.

Even when he was broke, he didn't think about committing crimes; instead, he dreamed of becoming an internet celebrity and getting rich overnight.

He finally understood why Su Nianqing didn't go to work but became an internet celebrity.

Given her background, it would be difficult for her to work honestly, so she would naturally think of ways to make money quickly.

Chen Mo was somewhat moved.

Given her family background, the fact that she didn't turn to crime shows that this girl is truly remarkable.

He was silent for a few seconds before asking a question.

"So what are your plans after that?"

Su Nianqing smiled, a smile devoid of bitterness, only one of composure born from recognizing reality.

"Continue the live stream. Yesterday's incident brought me a lot of attention and I gained quite a few followers. I'm striking while the iron is hot..."

"That should be a quick way to make some money. If we can create some entertaining content and retain these fans, we should be able to consistently have around a thousand viewers in our live streams, which would be quite good."

She spoke these words fluently, without hesitation or pause, clearly demonstrating a fairly clear understanding of her future plans, rather than it being a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and then said something.

"How about this, I'll give you a job. What do you say?"

Su Nianqing blinked, a hint of curiosity in her peach blossom eyes.

"What kind of job?"

Then she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, her voice carrying a hint of insecurity.

"Actually, part of the reason I don't want to work is that I simply don't know how to work and I'd mess everything up. Are you sure you want me to work for you?"

Chen Mo smiled.

"Don't worry, you're definitely capable of handling this job."

Su Nianqing looked up at him, her curiosity in her peach blossom eyes turning into anticipation.

"What kind of job?"

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, speaking earnestly.

"I'm planning to open a flower shop in the county town, and I'm currently short of someone to manage online marketing. To put it simply, I need a live streamer."

He paused, then placed his hands on the table, crossed them.

"I will open a special account for you, and you will be responsible for marketing our flower shop online to attract more customers to buy flowers."

For every customer who comes in and spends a certain amount, I'll give you a percentage of the sales. Plus, I'll give you a base salary of six thousand yuan per month. How about that?

Su Nianqing's eyes lit up, as if someone had lit a lamp in her pupils, and the light surged up from the bottom of her eyes, making her peach blossom eyes sparkle.

Her voice rose a half-tone, filled with an incredulous surprise.

"Really? Is it really possible?"

Chen Mo smiled.

"Of course it's true."

He thought for a moment, then added another sentence.

"I can also provide you with a house. Of course, it won't be free, but it will definitely be much lower than the market price in the county. Let's say ten yuan a day. How about that?"

Su Nianqing's eyes shone even brighter!

It costs ten yuan a day, which is only three hundred yuan a month. The dilapidated house she lives in is in a bad location and the environment is poor, yet it still costs six or seven hundred yuan a month.

That's amazing!

She nodded vigorously, her voice clear and firm.

"Okay! I'm willing!"

Chen Mo smiled and stood up from his chair.

"Okay. Let's go to the flower shop after we finish eating. Xiao Rou and the others should be there too, those girls you saw with me yesterday."

Su Nianqing nodded vigorously.

The two sat down again, and the waiter brought the dishes over.

Su Nianqing ate very attentively without making a sound.

A faint smile lingered on her face, every curve from her eyebrows to the corners of her mouth radiating light.

After finishing his meal, Chen Mo reached for the bill on the table.

Su Nianqing was a step ahead of him, picking up the bill from the table and clutching it in her hand, while taking her phone out of her pocket with her other hand.

"I'll pay. It's a deal I made."
