With the money, Zheng Xiaoyu moved out of the school dormitory and rented a nice apartment near the school.

Later, they upgraded from muskets to cannons.

Buy designer bags and clothes.

I threw away all the cheap cosmetics I used to own and replaced them with high-end cosmetics that cost five or six thousand yuan a set.

After spending a lot of money, he had almost spent all the money he had earned from live streaming.

However, she wasn't in a hurry because she figured she could just earn money by live streaming if she ran out of cash.

In the third month, her income saw a new breakthrough, with a big brother directly giving her more than 200,000 yuan.

With the addition of other fans' donations, the monthly income reached as high as 220,000.

But in the fourth month, her live stream ran into problems.

The older brother who spent over 200,000 yuan on her last month asked to meet her privately.

After she politely declined, that man never came to her live stream again.

Without her older brother's support, her popularity during live streams plummeted.

Therefore, the live streaming income in the fourth month was only 80,000 yuan.

The sharp drop in income also indirectly affected Zheng Xiaoyu's mindset regarding live streaming, causing her live streaming income in the fifth month to drop to 50,000 yuan.

At this time, the guild's agent also had a heart-to-heart talk with her, urging her to quickly win back her brother.

But Zheng Xiaoyu couldn't let go of that face.

However, under pressure from the guild, she rallied in June and barely regained some popularity!

In the next few months.

Then a new "big brother" appeared. After sending her some gifts, he would ask her to meet him in private, his purpose being self-evident.

After she resolutely refused, the older brothers also left one after another.

Moreover, these big shots also have their own private circles. After the news spread, no more big shots visited Zheng Xiaoyu's live stream.

Naturally, her income also plummeted.

Especially in May, her income was only a little over 10,000 yuan.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Her monthly rent, utilities, cosmetics, and living expenses add up to 15,000 yuan. If she buys a few more outfits, she'll easily spend 20,000 yuan.

If you don't save money when you're making money, you won't have any to spare when things get tough.

Her savings are now less than 20,000.

If her popularity remains this low, she won't last long at all.

She hadn't considered moving back to the dormitory.

After she moved out of the dormitory to make money through live streaming, her roommates kept making sarcastic remarks behind her back. If she moved back, wouldn't they make fun of her?

Yesterday, the guild's agent called her again to put pressure on her.

Feeling agitated, she accidentally clicked into her high school WeChat class group and saw Xie Tao talking about Gao Yan.

She didn't have a deep impression of Gao Yan, only knowing that he was a relatively ordinary boy. The only thing that impressed her was that he was Zhuo Jiangyue's deskmate for a long time.

Out of curiosity, she searched for Brothers Hot Pot online and found that the hot pot restaurant was really popular. Recently, many online celebrities have been going to the hot pot restaurant to check in and shoot videos.

So she secretly got Gao Yan's WeChat ID from Xie Tao.

As for the reason, it's obviously to persuade Gao Yan to support her, since Gao Yan is a shareholder of a popular hot pot restaurant and shouldn't be short of money.

However, she hesitated for a while before finally adding Gao Yan's WeChat account this morning.

But after chatting.

She still didn't dare to speak up, feeling a bit too proud to admit it.

Just then, the phone rang.

Upon seeing the note, Zheng Xiaoyu frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered, "Sister Li, is there something you need?"

Sister Li is the agent of the guild behind her.

Sister Li said, "Xiaoyu, the company just received news that at the end of this month, Huyu.com, in conjunction with major guilds, plans to hold a large-scale PK event. President Zhao said that as long as you can make it to the finals, the company will provide you with an S-level resource."

Upon hearing this news, Zheng Xiaoyu was not as happy as she had imagined. She also wanted S-level resources, but the key question was whether she could make it to the finals with her current popularity.

Let alone the finals, she would have a tough time even in the semi-finals.

Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Sister Li advised, "Xiaoyu, sometimes you have to be flexible. You know what's been going on with you these past few months. The company isn't a charity. Even though you've had a bad month, the guild will at least give you some resources."

However, if your popularity doesn't improve, the company will likely have to give up on you. The livestreaming industry, frankly, is a youth-oriented field. Once the company abandons you, you won't receive any promotional resources. Unless you leave the industry, it will be very difficult to make a comeback.

Zheng Xiaoyu said bitterly, "Sister Li, I know!"

Sister Li continued, "Xiaoyu, to be honest, although President Shen hasn't visited your live stream these past few months, he still admires you quite a bit. As long as you agree to meet him and have a meal with him, he guarantees to send you into the semi-finals!"

"hehe!"

Zheng Xiaoyu sneered inwardly. She said they were meeting for a meal, but once they met, some things would be out of her control!

There are only two possibilities when the bottom line is crossed: zero times or countless times.

If she abandons her principles this time, it will probably be difficult to pick them up again. The main reason is that President Shen's appearance is rather indescribable, making it hard to bring herself to eat him. If he were even slightly more pleasing to the eye, she might not be so conflicted.

However, she didn't refuse outright, but replied, "Sister Li, let me think about it!"

"Fine, I won't force you!"

Sister Li said, "However, Xiaoyu, more than half of the month has passed, but you are still 80,000 short of your monthly turnover target. You didn't meet your target last month, and if you can't meet it this month either, your base salary will probably be canceled!"
