Friends for hire: Young Chinese rent out their time to earn extra cash
NEW YORK -- Yang, a 27-year-old blogger in Beijing, was in an IKEA store to meet her first client, a young man who was paying 125 yuan ($17) an hour for her time and company.
She did not know what to expect other than that he wanted someone to talk to. She soon spotted him and the two walked around the store for a bit before finding a display couch to sit on. For the next two hours, he complained to Yang about his girlfriend.
