A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 49: Number One on the Chart

By the next evening, Jiang Qin had already been discharged from the hospital and returned home.

The bar also announced that she had arrived home safely.

After this incident, a few more people were added to her security detail, but this time they didn’t have to live in her home.

You Wei rented the apartment next to hers for the bodyguards to live in.

Of her two spare rooms, one was now occupied by Xie An’an, while the other would be permanently occupied by Shi Lichuan from now on.

After all, some Beastman races were rumored to have abilities like passing through walls, so someone always needed to be on guard inside the house.

Jiang Qin felt a little awkward about it, but it was manageable.

You Wei had told her these were all temporary arrangements and that he would find her a more suitable house later.

Besides, their bar might need to relocate.

But nothing was decided yet, so he hadn’t made a final call, especially since the bar’s expansion had just been completed today.

It would feel like a waste if they never got to use it even once.

In reality, You Wei’s main consideration was Jiang Qin and Zhu Yongkang.

He had to return to the Main Star soon and would likely be too busy to manage the bar afterward.

That meant the only ones who would be at the bar regularly were Jiang Qin and Zhu Yongkang. He didn’t know where the two of them would prefer to work, so he hadn’t made a decision.

Having just been discharged from the hospital, Jiang Qin still felt a bit weary and went to bed early.

In the room next door, however, Xie An’an was wide awake, constantly refreshing a page on her Light Computer.

She had a Light Computer now.

Considering her work needs, her mother had taken out 30,000 Star Coins from the reward money to buy her the cheapest Light Computer available.

As soon as the clock struck midnight, Xie An’an eagerly checked the new song chart.

When she saw the rankings hadn’t changed, she immediately cheered, "Yes! Miss Jiang’s song is number one!"

After cheering, she came to her senses and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes still filled with excitement and a hint of chagrin.

’I almost forgot I’m at Miss Jiang’s house. I was so loud just now, I hope I didn’t wake her up.’

But she was just so happy!

’Miss Jiang’s song is number one!’

Actually, her three songs had swept the top three spots!

First was "As Wished."

Second was "Anonymous Comfort."

Third was "Ningxia."

Perhaps it was because the topic of Star Thieves infiltrating the planet to abduct females was so hot right now, but in any case, the play counts for the three songs Jiang Qin had uploaded in the last two days had shot up like a rocket.

They had pushed all the other songs down the chart.

Xie An’an was so excited she just had to share her feelings with someone, so she sent a message to Xie Lili.

[Miss Jiang’s song got first place on the June new song chart!]

Xie Lili: [I saw.]

[Hehehe, I’m so happy.]

Xie Lili: [Me too. I’m so jealous of you. Once Miss Jiang goes back to work, you’ll get to hear her sing live, right?]

Xie An’an thought about it. ’Hey, that’s right!’

For a family like hers, they probably would never be able to bring themselves to spend money on a concert ticket in their entire lives, not even for a bar’s entrance fee.

And that wasn’t even counting expenses like travel.

But now things were different. She had become her own idol’s assistant!

’Oh my god, could anything be better than this?’

Growing more and more excited as she thought about it, she showed up in front of Jiang Qin the next day with dark circles under her eyes.

"An’an, did you not sleep well?"

The young girl with leopard ears nodded frantically, saying excitedly, "Miss Jiang, your three songs took the top three spots on the chart!"

Having seen the chart before bed, Jiang Qin was quite calm.

She asked, amused, "So you were excited about it all night?"

Xie An’an nodded vigorously again.

She looked just like one of those nodding cat memes, making it impossible not to smile along with her.

Shi Lichuan, who was coming out of his room, was slightly surprised to see Jiang Qin’s smile. He felt like he often saw Miss Jiang smile, but it was always just a polite upturn of her lips.

This was the first time he had seen such a genuine, heartfelt smile from her.

’As expected, a young female is happier when she has company.’

"Good morning, Miss Jiang."

"Good morning to you too, Mr. Shi."

Shi Lichuan asked, "Miss Jiang, do you have any plans to go out today?"

"If nothing comes up, I probably won’t leave. I plan to upload a song I’ve already recorded, and I still have a few more to finish."

Jiang Qin then looked at Xie An’an and said, "An’an, if your family hasn’t settled in yet, you can take another day off."

Xie An’an shook her head. "It’s fine, there are other people at home.

I’ll stay here and help you with anything you need!"

Jiang Qin didn’t say anything more, just nodded in agreement.

She then showed her how to use the housekeeping robot and some of the other appliances in the house.

Although Xie An’an was a native of the Interstellar era, she was, in many ways, as uninformed as Jiang Qin, almost like an illiterate.

After all, Half-beastmen were basically the Interstellar era’s lower-class labor force; they earned little and worked a lot.

As a result, there were many things they couldn’t afford to buy, let alone learn how to use.

Xie An’an hadn’t had many years of schooling either. Although females could attend school for free, her home was too far from the school, and the daily fare for the Flying Car was not cheap.

Besides, she didn’t like school, so she only studied for five years—just long enough to become literate.

After that, Xie Lili taught her for a few more years, and occasionally her father would lend her his Light Computer to learn some survival skills on the Star Network.

This included courses on how to identify Exotic Plants and Alien Beasts.

She hadn’t learned anything else.

But her current job was as a personal assistant, which didn’t actually involve much work on a daily basis.

She just had to take care of Jiang Qin, run some errands, and be able to get Jiang Qin to safety if they encountered danger.

With a housekeeping robot for chores, the job was quite relaxed.

Jiang Qin went into the small recording booth by herself.

First, she contacted He Zhuoqun. They had a meeting online and signed the contract.

Then she authorized the sheet music and performance rights to him, along with the accompanying instrumental track from the system’s store.

"If you have any questions while recording, feel free to contact me at any time. After you’re done, if it’s convenient, you can let me listen to it once before you upload."

"Okay." He Zhuoqun seemed a bit nervous.

After all, he never imagined he would actually get the performance rights to "Nameless People."

The song was currently very popular on the Star Network. Many people liked this kind of catchy tune.

You didn’t have to sing it with heart-wrenching passion, nor did you have to strain or constrict your voice.

A song that could be sung so casually was more suitable for people to sing while driving or busy with work.

Moreover, the lyrics really resonated with these ordinary people.

As they sang, it was as if the bitterness of life took on a different flavor.

He Zhuoqun was one of the many who loved this song.

Before this song, he had always felt that life was sorrowful and bitter, and he would doubt whether his own efforts had any meaning.

But after hearing this song, he had a new realization.

Perhaps there was never a standard answer to whether something had meaning.

No matter what kind of life one led, one should live it earnestly.

Ordinary people have their ordinary joys, and great people have their great ambitions.
