Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 128 The First Customer of the Matchmaking Agency

"Zhang Zhe, don't go yet!"

After being criticized, Jiang Qi seemed a little unconvinced, though it's also possible she's a masochist and hadn't had enough fun yet.
"Explain yourself, what do you mean I can only dribble to get into position?"

"Then what else can you do?" Zhang Zhe said impatiently, arms crossed. "I don't think you can teach your secret live-streaming skills to customers."

"Oh, I see. You can teach them to secretly record videos and then use the videos to blackmail men into marrying them."

"..." Jiang Qi was right; she had indeed taught someone this method before.

In fact, the principle behind secretly recording videos and taking advantage of someone's pregnancy is similar: it's about taking advantage of the wealthy person's desire to save face and manipulating them ruthlessly.

"Who said that? Besides these two, I know many more."

"for example?"

Why should I tell you? What if you steal my skills?

"Yes, I learned from you. Why don't you say I stole the bowl from the beggar on the overpass?" Zhang Zhe smiled helplessly.

This Jiang Qi is truly a classic example: a middle-aged man with animal ears, self-righteous, selfish, and with a touch of paranoia.

"Jiang Qi, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"You've taught so many girls how to marry rich men, but what about yourself? You're not married yet, are you?"

"I'm married, thank you for your concern. Unlike you..."

"You're married? There are men like that? That's really something." Zhang Zhe grinned mischievously and asked, "Is your husband rich? Or is he just an ordinary guy?"

"Of course he's rich, he's a perfect A8.5."

"How old is he?"

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Zhang Zhe looked at the silent Jiang Qi and suddenly understood.

Sometimes silence really is the best answer.

Fifty years old?

"Still sixty years old?"

"It can't be seventy, can it? Don't torture the old man!"

"..." Jiang Qi dared not speak, because if she refuted either one, it would prove the other from the side, and many people at the matchmaking agency knew what was going on with her marriage.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Zhe naturally understood what had happened.

I guess this woman found a 60-year-old man.

Goodness, so this woman went to compete in the "twilight romance" race.

Zhang Zhe was very curious whether Jiang Qi had also put her own theory into practice, that she had gotten pregnant with the 60-year-old man's child first, and then taken his place.

However, he didn't ask, because he was afraid that the other party would become desperate and bite him.

He simply gave the other person a thumbs up: Awesome!
……

On Monday morning, Zhang Zhe arrived at the matchmaking agency early.

Old Bai and the others arrived even earlier than him. Seeing that Zhang Zhe wasn't there, they were already looking for people to help set up the scene.

More than a dozen flower baskets have already been placed.

And they were all sent in the name of the company of the guy in the group:

"Tiandi Lock Industry Co., Ltd.", "Qingzhilv Chain Hotel", "Haorizi Snack Wholesale Co., Ltd.", "Grey Headshot Property Management Group", "Haobaba Infant Products Development Co., Ltd."...

The elderly residents of the neighborhood went out to buy groceries, and when they came back, they were stunned to see the red carpet and flower baskets. They quickly went home to put down their groceries and then went out again to see what was going on.

Judging from the name of the company that sent the flower baskets, no one would guess that it was a matchmaking agency that had opened.

Of course, these flower baskets weren't given away for free.

Zhang Zhe promised Lao Bai and the others that he would hang a sign that read "Qingshi Singles Club Service Station" at the entrance in a while.

With this sign up, the group members will have their own Jerusalem, and their sense of belonging will be stronger. Seeing Zhang Zhe arrive, Lao Bai immediately surrounded him, asking for a red envelope.

The elderly residents of the neighborhood thought the owner was giving away prizes, so they also came to queue up.

Zhang Zhe saw that there weren't many people, so he gave them all the money. It was just a six-yuan red envelope, a lucky number, to bring good fortune.

If any elderly person comes along and helps introduce a business deal, the money spent on giving out red envelopes will be earned back.

"Boss, congratulations on your fortune!"

"Thank you."

"Wasn't this Grandma Xu's matchmaking agency before? When did it get transferred to you?"

“Grandma Xu is getting old and wants to enjoy her retirement, so she transferred everything to me. You see, many of the decorations inside were bought by her before.”

"It really is true." When the elderly men and women saw the familiar decorations in the matchmaking agency, they felt a sense of familiarity towards Zhang Zhe.

It's like when you often go to the village store to buy snacks, and one day the owner suddenly changes, but the spicy strips are still the same type as before, and still cost 5 cents a pack. That sense of unfamiliarity will be almost completely eliminated.

At noon, after a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, Zhang Zhe removed the red cloth that had been covering the signboard, and the Happy Marriage Agency officially opened for business!

Although no customers had come in yet, Zhang Zhe stood at the shop entrance, and the sense of satisfaction he felt as a boss was indescribable.

Anyway, it's a million times better than when I was working.

……

Leave the flower baskets and red cloth at the store entrance for now, so that passersby might see a new store opening from afar and come over to take a look.

After seeing Lao Bai and the others off, Zhang Zhe went back to the store to set up the live streaming equipment.

He's not in a hurry even if he doesn't have customers. He mainly focuses on online consultations, and opening physical stores is mainly to have a base of operations, so that even if he runs away, he can't hide, and to reassure paying users.

Around 2 p.m., Zhang Zhe was about to take a nap when the matchmaking agency suddenly welcomed its first client.

It was brought by an older woman who received a red envelope in the morning; she was a girl who, without makeup, would probably be rated 4.5 out of 10.

Zhang Zhe quickly led the two to the living room and received them attentively.

After taking a sip of water, the older woman sighed deeply and began to describe the situation of the girl next to her:
"Boss, this is my niece, born in 1995. She's a teacher at No. 2 Middle School. She's 30 years old and still not married. Her mother asked me to bring her here so you can take a look."

"I wonder if this child will ever be able to get married."

"Come on, Sisi, stand up and let the matchmaker see your conditions."

"No, no, no." Zhang Zhe saw that the female teacher was really about to stand up and turn around, so he quickly stopped her.

In ancient times, only maids were sold like that. It's just a matchmaking arrangement, it's really not that serious.

"I have a form here, please fill it out first."

"Auntie, let her fill out the form first, I'll take a look at the basic requirements."

"Okay, I can fill out the form." The woman asked with a smile, "So, how much do you charge here?"

"It costs 99 yuan to fill out the form once."

"We'll analyze it for you for free."

"If you want to leave your information with me and let me help you find someone, that's fine too. The fee is 200 yuan for each person I find and each other successfully meeting once."

"If we eventually get our marriage certificate, you'll have to give me a big red envelope."

"???" The middle-aged woman and the female teacher were both baffled after hearing this.

"Boss, why is your pricing so different from other matchmaking agencies?" The middle-aged woman scratched her head. She actually wanted to say that it was too cheap, but if she said it directly, she would look like a fool.

"I've never seen such a charge before," a female teacher chimed in.

"The main problem is that I don't have enough staff here. As you can see, I'm the only one. So, like other matchmaking agencies, I really don't have the time to introduce you to three potential partners if you give me 2000 yuan."

Zhang Zhe explained with a smile:
"What I can guarantee is that I can help you analyze your position in the current dating market. As for when you will meet the right person after you have my information, I can't guarantee that."

"All I can say is that I take the information of all single men and women every week, match them up, and help make a connection if there are suitable matches."
