Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 997: Work is Coming
It must be said that Zhang Wei is indeed very tenacious and hardworking, but if he put that same effort into his work, he could easily become a manager.

Indeed, it's true that finding the right path is crucial; the saying "choice is more important than effort" is not just a saying.

Zhang Wei may not be particularly talented at work, but his shamelessness suggests he has the potential to live off a woman.

He's just a little overweight. If he loses some weight and develops into a model-like guy, it's not entirely impossible for him to find a divorced woman who's worth hundreds of millions and owns several houses.

But his appearance alone has blocked that path for him, unless, as Ms. Zhao Yun said, he finds a divorced woman with a car and a house, then there might be a chance.

However, you can't demand good looks from your partner, and as for not wanting a dowry, a car, or a house, that's utter nonsense.

"By the way, are you guys organizing blind dates recently? How are they going to be? I haven't seen you post about it before," Zhao Yun asked from the side.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan quickly explained, "Why didn't he send it? Zhang Wei went to see the girl, didn't he? It's just that he's a coward; when he saw that the girl was pretty, his hands were shaking."

Later I took him to a bar, hoping he'd interact with more girls, but he punched one of them! I was so angry!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun was taken aback: "Huh? Those are all true stories? I thought it was a script!"

“What are you talking about? We’re playing for real,” Miss Yuan retorted.

Lin Mo chuckled at this: "Really? I doubt it. Wei Ge went on a blind date the other day and got ripped off by a restaurant scammer, losing almost two thousand yuan. Why didn't you guys mention that? Weren't you going to embarrass me if you didn't tell me? Why haven't you heard anything about it?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan immediately lowered her head guiltily, then looked around at everyone. Seeing that Chuanmei and the others were shaking their heads, she finally glared fiercely at Zhang Wei.

Finally, He Xiaoyue explained her ideas for this matchmaking section and its current progress.

After listening, Zhao Yun thought for a moment and then said, "I think it has great potential. Do a good job and help me out when the time comes!"

Everyone was taken aback by this, and Miss Yuan even said, "Cousin, you're coming here for a blind date? Maybe we should call it a day. I'd be too embarrassed to mess with my own people!"

Zhang Wei: ? ? ?
"Ahem, Wei, don't overthink it. I, Yuan, am definitely not using you as a practice subject, but cousin, this is really unreliable!" Miss Yuan said, forcing herself to speak.

Just kidding. Although she can introduce people to Zhang Wei, it's mostly just for fun. If it works out, great; if not, there's no loss, and she can still have some fun.

But her cousin Zhao Yun is a different story. If her family found out that she introduced her cousin to an unreliable young man, her grandmother would spank her until her bottom was bruised and battered.

At this moment, even Liu Ruyan looked over with curiosity. If Zhao Yun really had a boyfriend, she would not only be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but also feel more at ease.

Although Zhao Yun's initial target was her, she always felt that her boyfriend was also within the other party's range of choices.

As the saying goes, one cannot tolerate another snoring beside one's bed, especially one who seems to be bisexual.

Feeling Liu Ruyan's gaze, Zhao Yun rolled her eyes at her: "What are you thinking? It's a bunch of bachelors in our bureau, they're driving our bureau chief crazy."

Last year, a tug-of-war between firefighters and kindergarten teachers became popular online. Our bureau also wanted to organize a similar event, but the nearby kindergartens had all been ransacked by the firefighters.

As soon as they heard that we wanted to have a social gathering, all the kindergarten teachers shook their heads, saying they wouldn't go and play with straight men, so that they wouldn't have to make the children cry and then they would have to comfort them.

Our bureau chief went there personally and said he still couldn't solve it. Well, when he came back from the Spring Festival this year, good heavens, not a single one of them went on blind dates at home, and one even got divorced. Our bureau chief has already given an order that we must solve the personal problems of the single young people in the bureau this year, at least three. Some time ago, he made us download various chat software.

One of the anti-fraud workers was scammed out of 64.5 yuan of his takeout money, and now he's being laughed at by everyone in the company!
"These online apps are unreliable, and most real-life marriage agencies are just shills. We have to come up with some other tricks!" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What?! Someone who works on anti-fraud got scammed? Is there no justice in this world? Is there no law?
But upon closer reflection, this isn't exactly fraud. It's just ordering takeout; how can that be considered fraud? At most, it's just that they didn't like it.

You could say it's a mismatch between their major and their job. Someone working in anti-fraud might be able to deal with all sorts of scams, but when it comes to matters of the heart, they're often blinded by their own emotions.

With such a small amount, there's no way to even file a lawsuit. If we could, it would be even more embarrassing, so it's better to just let it go.

"Wait a minute, I heard that those who enter the system are usually absorbed internally, making it easy for them to find partners. How come you guys are like this?" Lin Mo asked in confusion.

It's common knowledge that civil servants within the system are highly sought-after in the marriage market, and they're rarely even available outside the system. It's difficult for ordinary people to find even one, so how can there be so many high-quality resources remaining? That doesn't make sense!

Hearing this, Zhao Yun sneered: "It's easy to find a partner, but those guys are too picky!"

They want someone good-looking, someone with a government job, and even someone from a wealthy family—the requirements are endless and overwhelming.

In addition, the situation you described is more serious in small county towns. Although it also exists in Jiangning, it is much less prevalent compared to county towns.

Besides, in our department, there are far more men than women, a real imbalance of masculinity and femininity. A bunch of old men together, they're full of ideas, spending all their time outside of work researching all sorts of things, but they never seem to care about finding a partner. They themselves aren't worried, so why should outsiders be?

That's true. Although Jiangning isn't the capital or a super-first-tier city like Shanghai, it's still a first-tier city with a very developed economy.

Civil servants here don't have the same advantage in finding a partner as they do in small counties, but they're still quite sought after. However, the fact that so many people are still single, and even the bureau chief is having trouble, suggests that there must be something going on in this bureau.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but say, "What about you? Didn't your bureau chief urge you? Yunyun, you're so pretty, you could find someone among your colleagues, that would solve two spots at once!"

Zhao Yun rolled her eyes at him and said, "No!"

Lin Mo: "Why? Aren't colleagues good? We know each other well, and they're all civil servants!"

Both of them knew about some of Zhao Yun's problems, but they pretended not to know and even tried to correct her.

"It's precisely because I'm too familiar with them. I know all too well what kind of people they are in private, so it won't work. Besides, they're all afraid of me in our bureau. And I don't want to look for them. Even the bureau chief doesn't dare to urge me, so they certainly don't dare either. I don't feel any pressure," Zhao Yun said matter-of-factly.

Everyone:
Well, as expected, compared to the others, everyone felt that Ms. Zhao was the biggest problem, even more difficult than Zhang Wei.

"Then I'll give it a try?" He Xiaoyue said.

Chuanmei: "Let's give it a try, we have to give it a try! The people's police serve the people, so we have to think about the police officers too. Xiaoyue, could you collect information on eligible girls in Jiangning recently, and then we'll find a place to hold a matchmaking event!"

"No problem, I'll try my best!" He Xiaoyue said excitedly.

Miss Yuan quickly raised her hand: "I'll arrange the venue for the social event!"

Zhao Yun: "No need, we can just stay at our station. I don't trust you!"

Miss Yuan:
