Chapter 129 You've Lost Big
“Auntie, this is a good idea.” After listening to Zhang Zhe’s explanation, the female teacher Fang Qianqian immediately nodded: “His explanation sounds very reliable.”

"That's equivalent to paying 99 yuan for a consultation."

“But other places offer free consultations,” the woman retorted. “He charges money just to fill out a form here.”

"However, his other services are quite inexpensive."

"It's okay, you can take your time to think about it." Zhang Zhe casually took out his phone, not in a hurry at all.

Many matchmaking agencies offer free consultations, much like Tencent games – you play for free, but if you want to enhance your gaming experience, you have to pay for a membership.

The matchmaking industry takes it to an even more extreme level, where the message is: if you want to find a partner, you have to spend money.

The more customized it is, the more expensive it becomes.

Zhang Zhe had also considered doing that, but he was still lacking customers. There were many online customers but few local customers in Qing City. After careful consideration, he decided to use the current pricing plan.

Let's build the database first.

As for the 99 yuan consultation fee, consider it a threshold to filter out clients who are not strongly inclined to get married.

"No need to think about it, I'll pay." The female teacher didn't hesitate. She had done business with other matchmaking agencies before, so she knew that Zhang Zhe's fees were very reasonable.

After scanning the QR code to pay, she started filling out the form on her own.

The middle-aged woman standing nearby wasn't idle either, giving unsolicited advice:
"Just fill in a taller height, since girls are going to wear high heels anyway."

"If your income increases by another 5, your father will soon be able to collect his pension."

"How can the other party not have a house? No, they must have a house."

"..."

At first, Zhang Zhe wanted to laugh, but later he felt sorry for the female teacher. So this was the real pressure of being pressured to get married that 30-year-old women faced? It was terrifying.

"Auntie, let her fill it out herself." Zhang Zhe handed the old lady a newspaper: "You can read the news, or tear it up for fun."

"Huh?" The woman looked confused.

"Stop bothering her."

"The process of her filling out the form was also a process of self-discovery."

Zhang Zhe explained in a very professional tone: "If you ask her to add height when you meet her in person, and the guy finds out the height is wrong, he will definitely think that she is dishonest."

"Then the reputation will be ruined."

"That makes sense." The woman nodded. "Then you should fill in the truth. Don't lie."

"I didn't fill in a fake one anyway," the female teacher muttered softly.

She quickly filled in all the information.

Zhang Zhe took a look and saw that the handwriting was good; it did indeed look like that of a teacher.

Looking at the conditions again...

Born in 95, 165cm tall, and weighing 95kg, she has excellent physical attributes, which is evident in real life; she maintains a very good figure.

They're the type who have everything they could want.

A bachelor's degree from a 211-level teacher training college is considered highly educated among teachers in Qingdao. If she were to pursue a part-time master's degree, she could have further opportunities for advancement in her position at the school.

The family was poor; the father was an ordinary employee of a township enterprise, the mother farmed at home, and the younger brother was still in college.

Girls from rural families with younger brothers often find it difficult to find partners.

However, being a junior high school teacher in the city is a huge plus, giving you a chance to find a local only child who owns a car and a house.

It is difficult for female teachers in rural towns to find a partner because they are at the top of the local marriage market. They cannot find a partner if they cannot be compatible with those of lower social classes. And because of their high social status, teachers are inherently unable to find partners.

But in urban areas or provincial capitals, it's a completely different story. Public school teachers can only find jobs in the second or third tier of the marriage market. Many single young men at the bottom of the first tier will look down to female teachers.

It takes skill for a woman to remain single until she's 30.

"Ms. Fang, are you currently in a relationship?" Zhang Zhe frowned, looking at the "in a relationship" section on her marital status, somewhat confused: "You're going on a blind date behind your boyfriend's back?"

"This is not something we should really encourage."

"There's basically no chance of my boyfriend and I getting married." Fang Qianqian's face showed a hint of bitterness, as if she was feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Tell me more about it."

“This information is critical.”

"Well, here's the thing: I met my current boyfriend through work. It was love at first sight, and we were both quite satisfied with each other."

Zhang Zhe couldn't help but laugh when he heard about love at first sight.

Love at first sight during student days can indeed be the kind of love depicted in movies, unrelated to looks or money, simply because I hit you on the head with a basketball and you cried so movingly.

However, when a 30-year-old woman says this, it always feels more like she's "lustful at first sight".

The man is definitely good-looking, or maybe he's just average-looking, but he's wearing a Rolex.

"After getting to know him for a while, I gradually realized that his family background was much better than mine, a class that I could not possibly reach."

"His family connections are mostly in the provincial capital; he just happened to come to Qingdao to build his career."

“We’ve been together for over two years, and I’ve always wanted to take our relationship to the next level, like getting married, but he’s not very keen on it.”

"But when I broke up with him, he disagreed."

"We're still dating, but we're not thinking about getting married yet."

"Sisi, why didn't you tell me about this?" The older woman standing nearby nearly jumped up in shock. "You have a boyfriend? And you've been together for two years?"

"Then he should be held responsible."

"Did you two sleep together? If you did, and he doesn't marry you, do you think you can just run away? If he dares not to marry you, we'll go to his workplace and make a scene."

"Aunt, don't worry about this." Fang Qianqian's tone was very distressed.

"How can I not care? Your dad already told me he wants me to..."

"Auntie, calm down first." Zhang Zhe interrupted the older woman. "Put away your thoughts of causing trouble. Your niece is a teacher. If she causes trouble, won't she lose her job?"

"That makes sense..." The woman nodded and sat back down dejectedly.

The woman herself knew how difficult it was for a rural family to raise a female teacher who could teach in the city.

She was just excited.

"Ms. Fang, let's continue."

"May I ask, during your two-year relationship, did your boyfriend provide you with any financial or career assistance?"

"For example, buying you gold jewelry, or helping you pull strings."

"If there is one, how should I put it? Well, sometimes it's better not to talk about feelings in a purely transactional relationship."

“No.” Fang Qianqian shook her head and said, “I’m not a gold digger. I admit that later I found out he had a very good background, and I was indeed a little tempted by his family’s wealth.”

“But we started out as a normal couple. I never asked him for money. In the two years we were together, the most expensive gift he ever gave me was a Swarovski necklace.”

"Look, this is what I'm wearing around my neck."

“…” Zhang Zhe knew that this kind of imitation crystal necklace was only worth about a thousand yuan on the market: “Girl, I think you’ve probably overpaid.”
