Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 114 Taking Over the Matchmaking Agency
The next morning, Zhang Zhe told Boss He that he had some errands to run and wouldn't be doing a live stream.

The appointment with Grandma Xu was at 10 a.m.

When Mr. He heard that Zhang Zhe was going to see Old Lady Xu, his tone was somewhat doubtful:
"Xiao Zhang, are you sure you want to go see Teacher Xu now?"

"Did she forget to pay you your salary? How about I pay it for her first? It's just a small amount of money."

"It's not about money," Zhang Zhe explained. "It's about the live stream."

"Then there's nothing I can do."

"When you go, don't go empty-handed. Bring some gifts; it will look better that way."

"Understood." Zhang Zhe hung up the phone, feeling somewhat bewildered.

It seems like something happened to Teacher Xu's family.

But when he glanced at his phone at his chat history with Grandma Xu, he saw that she had replied with a voice message:
"Xiao Zhang, you're coming? Then just come to the matchmaking agency."

"Do you still remember the address?"

"Don't bring anything with you, I have more fruit and stuff here than I can eat."

The voice was still as kind as before, and there was no background noise. It seemed quite normal.

However, Zhang Zhe still accepted Teacher He's suggestion and didn't go empty-handed; both his hands were full of things.

When they arrived at Grandma Xu's matchmaking agency, Zhang Zhe stood outside the door and suddenly realized that what Teacher He said might be true.

No one knows who did it, but the red signboard of the old lady's matchmaking agency was splashed with black paint, looking like the black dog blood used to ward off evil spirits in ancient times.

The words for the matchmaking agency are no longer legible.

Only those who want to cause trouble would do this.

Who could possibly have such a deep grudge against us?

The dating profiles that were originally pasted on the glass were torn to shreds, looking like they had been chewed by a dog.

In the corner by the entrance of the matchmaking agency, there were two chairs broken into pieces...

If the matchmaking agency hadn't been open and the lights weren't on inside, passersby would have assumed it had moved away.

Was it the same thing that Grandma Xu's granddaughter caused before?
With a skeptical attitude, Zhang Zhe knocked on the door of the matchmaking agency.

"Who is it?" A middle-aged woman wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown peeked out of the room. When she saw Zhang Zhe, she was pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Zhang, you're here."

"Master, Zhang Zhe is here."

"Teacher Wang?" Zhang Zhe didn't expect to see her here. He had originally planned to talk to her about the matchmaking corner in the park at the end of the month. "What are you doing here?"

“I’m here to keep my master company,” Teacher Wang said, pointing to herself. “I’m a patient, so it’s safer here. No one will dare to cause trouble.”

"If anyone makes a fuss, I'll just lie down on the ground."

"Come in, have a seat. I'll get you some water."

"No need, I just had a drink on the way here," Zhang Zhe said, placing the gift on the table as he declined.

After entering the house, he felt much more at ease.

Although the matchmaking agency looked dilapidated from the outside, the interior furnishings were still normal, just much simpler than when I visited before.

I guess they've cleared away all the broken things.

As before, Grandma Xu sat in her wheelchair, with her live-streaming workstation in front of her.

She stared in the direction Zhang Zhe had come from, and when their eyes met, a kind smile immediately appeared on the old lady's face:
"Xiao Zhang, you're here."

"Here you are." Zhang Zhe dragged a chair over and sat down. "Teacher Xu, you still look as energetic as before."

"No, it's that we're getting younger as we get older."

"Hehehe." Grandma Xu couldn't stop smiling. "You, how come your mouth has become so sweet after not seeing you for a while?"

"Looks like this matchmaker has really learned how to flatter people." "Haha, she learned all that from her seniors..."

Upon seeing Teacher Wang there and observing the expression on Grandma Xu's face, Zhang Zhe had already guessed that something had truly happened to Teacher Xu's family some time ago.

What a misfortune for our family.

It's hard to explain these things. Many wealthy people are like this. Once they have money, they want their children to have a better life, so they send them abroad to study. This way, they don't have to compete with people in China and can broaden their horizons.

But the price of broadening one's horizons can sometimes be enormous...

Grandma Xu never imagined that her granddaughter would smash up the family's matchmaking agency after returning from studying abroad.

Zhang Zhe didn't know the specifics of the conflict, but given his position, it wasn't convenient for him to ask. He could only chat with the old lady and keep her company.

They chatted for more than half an hour, and Grandma Xu kept praising Zhe.

One moment he says he has talent;
One moment he says he has sound values;
I'll also be introducing him to someone later.

Luckily, Zhang Zhe had Xia Yi's photo, otherwise the old lady would have called and asked her nephew to bring her over for a blind date with Zhang Zhe.

After chatting for a while, seeing that the old lady was getting sleepy, Zhang Zhe quickly explained the purpose of his visit:

"I came here today to discuss something with you, Professor Xu."

"I want to do a live stream for you every two days from now on, because I plan to create my own account on Xiaohongshu to do live streams."

"You're planning to go solo so soon?" Teacher Wang, young and quick-witted, immediately understood what Zhang Zhe was up to: "Isn't it too early?"

"Why don't you wait until we finish our offline matchmaking trip to the matchmaking corner before we talk about it?"

“I’m afraid that your mindset will change after you come into contact with those older single women.”

"Thank you, Teacher Wang. Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Zhe looked at Grandma Xu and said very sincerely, "Teacher Xu, I have to thank you for trusting me and entrusting your live broadcast room to me."

"I didn't embarrass you, and my live streams are getting better and better."

"I don't want the salary. What I'm thinking is that I'll broadcast for you one day and for myself the next, so that I can gradually redirect some of the traffic from your account to my account."

“Many people have a habit of watching live streams at night, and I want to use this habit to attract viewers.”

"I've used your traffic, so there's no reason for me to ask for a salary."

Zhang Zhe had thought it through clearly. This amount of money was irrelevant; the most important thing was to ensure the smooth operation of "Brother Zhang of Qingshi" traffic.

Given his current situation, he's not qualified to go solo.

If someone issues a statement saying, "Family, I've made an important decision," the first reaction from viewers would probably be:

If you're not my buddy, who are you?
Therefore, gradually converting traffic is the best approach.

Of course, this will inevitably damage the original traffic of Grandma Xu's account. If someone else does the evening live stream in the future, they will be a competitor of Zhang Zhe.

But good news always comes unexpectedly:

"Xiao Zhang, you are truly honest."

"Actually, even if you hadn't contacted me, I was planning to contact you in a couple of days anyway." Grandma Xu's smile was a little forced: "I probably won't need that account on my Little Red Book anymore."

"This matchmaking agency is not planning to reopen."

"Huh?" Zhang Zhe looked shocked.

Teacher Wang, who was standing nearby, gave a brief explanation:
“My master is tired and is preparing to go back to her hometown in the countryside to enjoy her old age. As the old saying goes, ‘Don’t be a middleman, don’t be a guarantor, don’t be a matchmaker and your family will prosper for three generations.’ Xiao Zhang, you are still young. You’ll know the value of this old saying when you get old.”

"She asked me to come over to discuss how to handle the live streaming accounts on several platforms."

"And what should we do to settle you down?"

"Well, that's great, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."
