Chapter 967 Garden and Bee Swarm

"What exactly do you want to say?" Xu Qian asked.

"I remember you told me that the number of people in your live broadcast room has been declining for a while."

"Then what?"

"Then you suddenly meet your Prince Charming, who is excellent in all aspects, and can give you exactly what you have been longing for, and take you to the fourth level of life. If nothing else happens, you will agree to him. Propose, announce the news on live, say goodbye to your fans. This way you are out of the public eye, which is exactly what they want, because it means that whatever happens to you next, it won't Someone knows."

"How is this possible? Even though the number of people in my live broadcast room has been declining, there are still more than 400,000 people." Xu Qian said.

"But once you retire, these people will quickly flock to other live broadcast rooms. You yourself know this very well, right. People may talk about you in the first few weeks, and the news of you marrying into a wealthy family appears in the newspapers, but Soon, the popularity will die down, and in a few months, most people will forget your name, except for die-hard fans like Electric Sheep.”

Xu Qian was dumbfounded. As an anchor who had worked her way up from a newcomer to a well-known anchor, she certainly knew how cruel this industry was. The most indispensable thing here was all kinds of newcomers waiting to take over. Not to mention her, even Tang, who was once a smash hit and was hailed as the most perfect anchor after setting a string of live broadcast records, is now rarely mentioned.

However, Xu Qian still found it difficult to accept Zhang Heng's speculation.

Especially when there is a longing for life within reach on one side and a terrifying abyss of horror on the other, it is 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 you still haven't finished reading," Zhang Heng said. "You think Fuji's boss, Jiang Hong, and the landlord have teamed up to deceive you, so why don't you go find your distant cousin? You said she used to be with you." I worked part-time at Fuji, and later I had a falling out with you because of the anchor matter, but no matter what, she and you are still related by blood, why don’t we go find her next to confirm?”

"I won't go to her. You are right. We have broken up and will never see each other again in this life." Xu Qian threw the cigarette in her hand to her feet and stamped it out, "Okay , I don’t care who you want to go to next, anyway, I don’t want to stay here for one more second to see this damn place, the streets and the air here are terrible, I want to go back to the third floor.”

After Xu Qian finished speaking, she waved down a taxi, got into the passenger seat, and said to the driver, "Go to the station as quickly as possible. If you get there within ten minutes, I'll pay you double the fare."

Zhang Heng on the other side did not stop Xu Qian, he just stood there and watched the latter's taxi leave quickly in front of him.

Less than two minutes later, a black SUV stopped in front of Zhang Heng.

The window on the passenger seat was lowered, and Zhang Heng saw Miss F's face. Miss F's words were as concise as ever, going 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 floor and finally stopped in front of a huge glass house. Zhang Heng and Miss F got out of the car and looked around.

This seems to be a private garden, the area is not large but not small either.

Such gardens are not uncommon on the third and fourth floors, but they are quite rare on the first floor, a place where people care more about bread and milk. And when Zhang Heng walked in, he found that there were more than just various kinds of gardens planted here. Various flowers and trees actually support bees, and there are quite a lot of them.

As soon as you open the door, you can hear the buzzing sound. Thousands of bees are constantly weaving through the waste in the flowers, inserting their mouthparts into the flowers to collect nectar, and then return to the hive after they are full. He repeated this process happily, and in front of the hive stood a man wearing a tight straw hat. He was busy taking out a hive frame from the hive, and then used a knife to cut the honey on it. The spleens were cut off one by one and put into a wooden barrel on the side.

After he finished all this and inserted the nest frame back into the hive, he straightened up and walked towards 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 beside him, and shook hands with Zhang Heng.

He seemed to be in a good mood today. Seeing Zhang Heng still looking at the beehive behind him, he smiled and said, "This can be considered a little hobby of mine."

"Do you want to make your own honey?" Zhang Heng asked.

"No, no, no, honey is just a by-product. What I like is beekeeping itself, especially observing these furry little things with wings. Have you ever understood bees? Their habits, social structure, and population characteristics?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Bees and humans have a lot in common. We both need to produce and reproduce, and in order to make these two things happen more efficiently, we have also evolved corresponding social divisions of labor. You must have heard about a bee colony. The duties of different bees.”

"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."

Mr. G took the water bottle handed by the bodyguard, drank a few sips, and then continued enthusiastically, "There is only one queen bee in each bee colony. Her main responsibility is to reproduce offspring. She does not need to engage in productive work. As long as you lie comfortably in the hive every day and wait for the feeding of the worker bees, you are the top of the pyramid. And below it are the drone bees, who live a good life and do not need to bear heavy labor. After all, reproduction of offspring cannot be completed by one person. Yes, you need someone else to help.

"But the problem is that only one of so many male peaks can mate with the queen bee. Before that, they need to fight each other to determine a winner, and the winner will also die immediately after mating. It doesn't sound too good. Right. But each individual has its use in society. Finally, let's look at the worker bee."

Mr. G stretched out his hand and let a bee flying in the air stop on his finger. "It is located at the bottom of the pyramid. It is huge in number, has the greatest division of labor in society, and has the heaviest responsibilities, from collecting honey to keeping eggs warm and incubating, cleaning the egg chambers, and raising eggs." Feeding larvae, queen bees and males, hive guards... they work almost all the time. They are given a certain mission from birth, and they firmly believe that what they are doing is extremely important, but in fact they are also the most easily replaced in the entire group. .”

As Mr. G said this, he suddenly crushed the bee on his fingertips without any warning. "Look, nothing happened. The bee colony is still functioning normally."
