Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 157 The Traitor Strikes

"Go straight to her? Invite her to dinner?"

"If you're not in a rush to get married, splitting the bill is fine too."

Zhang Zhe always analyzes each situation specifically.

For those who are comfortable living alone, not in a rush to get married, and see blind dates as a way to see if they can find a life partner, asking to split the bill on a blind date is perfectly acceptable.

There's no need to invest in people who aren't a good fit.

They approach blind dates as a matter of luck; if they're lucky, they'll get married, if not, they'll just leave it at that.

But the older brother is different; he wants to get married, so he has to spend the money that's needed.

Although it's not very useful, it's "tuition fee" for him now.

"If you don't spend money on food, to be honest, when you get older, the money you save will end up going to a matchmaking agency anyway."

“Indeed.” Teacher Wang nodded from the side: “We have quite a few men around 35 years old here, all in your situation.”

"He wants to get married, but he's too goal-oriented. He's been paying introduction fees and meeting one girl after another, but he's stingy even when it comes to treating a girl to a meal. I don't know what he's thinking."

"Uh..." The guy was a little embarrassed by what he was said.

Because he did plan to go to a matchmaking agency in a while and pay a matchmaker to help him find a partner.

"Treating girls to dinner is mainly to teach you how to talk to the opposite sex. Think of it as paying for a private tutor. How much you can learn in one meal depends on your ability."

[You can think of it that way?]

To be honest, if a guy like me honestly asks girls for advice, some might actually be willing to offer some guidance, but it might not be reliable.

[This guy is different from other guys; he's a solo player, and he's starting from scratch in solo queue.]

Forget it, it's too much trouble. It's better to live alone.

You can tell from the way the older brother speaks that he has the typical thinking of a science student and is very goal-oriented.

He only goes on blind dates because he wants to get married, so reasons like "I'm not good enough for this girl" or "I don't want to marry her because of her past cohabitation" will make him stop immediately.

It's a bit like running a program; if it can't continue, it keeps printing "error".

“Just remember this: you’re paying for her dinner not to marry her, but just to chat with her offline,” Zhang Zhe said confidently. “I don’t believe you can resist talking to her after all this.”

"If you don't speak, your money will be wasted."

"I understand." The older brother nodded. "But what if I encounter a girl who comes in, just eats silently, doesn't say a word, and keeps playing on her phone?

"Isn't that simple? Just make an excuse to go to the bathroom and then run away," Zhang Zhe said nonchalantly.

"Won't the matchmaker block me if I do that?"

"What? You think it's the matchmaker's place to block you? If someone introduces you to someone like this, why don't you block them first?"

Zhang Zhe couldn't help but complain:

"To be honest, what if the matchmaker is just introducing you to a bar scammer or a restaurant scammer? You're trying to maintain a respectable image, but they're just trying to swindle you out of your money."

[If you decide where to eat, there will be almost no more food scammers.]

[All things considered, the cost isn't that high, since most of the time it's just people skipping out on their bills.]

Some guys are just too concerned about their image, and as a result, they get completely dominated by shameless women.

"Is that so?" The older brother asked, sounding confused.

"Besides inviting them to dinner, you also need to remember one thing: never, ever give them any gifts," Zhang Zhe added.

This is the most crucial point; without giving gifts, it's very difficult to get ahead.

"Don't buy anything, even if a girl tests you, hints at it, or even tries to provoke or mock you, don't buy anything." "Just ask her out for a meal."

Zhang Zhe offered his brother a new idea:

"Just think of it as having a girlfriend. It's a long-distance relationship. When you have time, you can meet up for a meal."

"It's just that this girlfriend changes every day."

"When you finish your first meal together and the woman takes the initiative to ask you to reciprocate and continue chatting with you, that means you've already graduated."

"Wow, this looks a bit difficult." The older brother grinned and gasped, "I'll probably have to sacrifice dozens of meals."

"Not necessarily. Maybe after a few dates, you'll come to your senses and realize that not getting married is fine too."

Zhang Zhe smiled at his older brother, and he was a little curious to see what his older brother, who was the same age as him, would be like in two years.

This guy has only gone on one blind date with the girl he lives with so far. It's obvious that he still has unrealistic ideas about marriage.

He'll behave himself after going on a few more blind dates.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Brother Zhang.” The eldest brother nodded, and as he got up to leave, he suddenly sat down again: “I have one last question.”

"The kind of girl I was talking about earlier is someone who isn't from the local area, is younger, but has an average appearance. I'm not just daydreaming about finding someone like that, am I?"

"Of course it's not wishful thinking. You need to be more confident," Zhang Zhe encouraged. "The High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University has never produced a coward. Can you be the first one?"

"Hehe, that makes sense." The older brother nodded with a smile.

Teacher Wang, watching the other person's departing figure, couldn't help but sigh.
“What great chives! They were almost ready to be harvested, and you persuaded him to leave.”

"What's most infuriating is that he's taken advantage of your kindness today, so if he really needs to use a matchmaking agency in the future, he'll definitely choose you."

"There's nothing I can do about that." Zhang Zhe shrugged. "Why don't you come yourself?"

"I can't come." Teacher Wang glanced at the long line in front of her, shook her head, and silently sat down.

……

By 5 p.m., Zhang Zhe had finally finished serving most of the elderly people who needed consultation.

Of course, he also offended quite a few people.

Fortunately, because someone had climbed the tree to cause trouble earlier, security guards were called in and have been on site helping to maintain order.

When it was 6 p.m., Zhang Zhe had just finished serving the middle-aged woman in front of him. He quickly stood up and stopped the old man behind him:
"Uncle, no, no, no, I'm getting off work now."

"What?" Several elderly people who hadn't been consulted yet immediately surrounded her: "Matchmaker, we haven't consulted anyone yet."

"At least help me analyze it."

"Yes, yes, we've been here for several hours."

"Don't pull that, Auntie. You've only been here for less than ten minutes. I saw you walk over," Zhang Zhe said with a smile, waving his hand.

It's already time to leave work, and the park will soon be even more crowded. If he doesn't leave now, it's questionable whether he'll even be able to get home today.

"Don't worry, everyone." After tidying up the matchmaking agency's sign, Teacher Wang spoke up to help Zhang Zhe out of the predicament: "Although our Xi Xiang Feng matchmaking agency's event has ended, Teacher Zhang's Mei Man matchmaking agency still has an event on Xiaohongshu tonight."

"Just search for 'Brother Zhang from Qingdao is a matchmaker' and you'll find out."

"Sister Wang, thank you, but are you alright?" Zhang Zhe was very grateful to Teacher Wang for helping with the advertising, but her actions made her seem like a mole.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've already turned off the broadcast, and the boss doesn't know."

"That's good." Zhang Zhe nodded.

He pulled a small box from his pocket containing 50 pre-printed business cards, which he could now distribute lavishly.
