Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Let's do a background check on Chapter 161.
"How long have you been going on blind dates with Hui Zi?"

"It's been about a week since the introduction." Xu Lu sat up straight, looked at Zhang Zhe, and had a nervous expression on her face, like a poor student who was afraid to answer the teacher's questions.

"Haven't you been on blind dates before?"

"No."

"No? Logically speaking, if you want to get married through blind dates, shouldn't you look for someone from your city first? Why would you think of marrying someone from Qing City?"

Zhang Zhe asked very specific questions.

Unless there are problems in the parent-child relationship, no parent would want their daughter to marry far away; they all hope that their daughter can stay close to them.

Living close by means my daughter can go home anytime if she's unhappy at her in-laws' house.
If anything happens to her family, she can contact her daughter and son-in-law in a timely manner.

Therefore, if Xu Lu's parents wanted to marry off their daughter, their first choice would definitely be someone from the local area.

She would only choose to marry far away if she really couldn't find anyone else, or if her reputation in the local area was ruined.

Zhang Zhe suspected it was the latter, because that blond guy was too conspicuous.

“It’s my own choice not to stay with my parents,” Xu Lu explained. “They’re too controlling. They’ve been nagging me since I was little, so when I was in middle school I decided that I would definitely marry someone from far away.”

"Otherwise, if I get married, I'll have to put up with both sets of parents."

"Oh, I see." Zhang Zhe looked at Xu Lu and nodded. "I remember you were born in 98, right? After you graduated from junior college, have you been helping out at home?"

"Yes."

"So you've never really entered the workplace, and when you interact with people, you're mostly from the boss's perspective, right?"

"more or less."

“Then you are indeed quite suitable for Hui Zi.” Zhang Zhe said with a smile: “His family hopes to find him a wife who is of equal social standing and can help run the family business. You have experience before, so taking over should not be a problem.”

"Will I still be able to do business after I marry him?" Xu Lu shook her head several times after hearing Zhang Zhe's words: "I can't, I can't do business."

“When I’m at home, my parents always make arrangements for me. I do whatever they tell me to do.”

"What was said before was that after I married into the family, I could just be my mistress and wouldn't have to get involved in their business."

"Wouldn't you be controlled by his parents after you marry him?" Zhang Zhe tempted. "Why don't you join Hui Zi and take control of the family's finances?"

"His parents are getting old, and you'll have to take care of their family sooner or later."

"Then let him handle it himself."

"I don't want to." Xu Lu quickly shook her head: "I'm not an ambitious person..."

While listening to the woman speak, Zhang Zhe kept observing her expression.

The girl was in a hurry, as if she was eager to prove that she had no ambition.

Did you hear about Hui Zi's previous blind date? So you're deliberately avoiding that sensitive topic?

Probably.

But it's also possible that she genuinely wants to marry into the family and become a wealthy wife.

My main task after getting married is to take good care of my health, so I can have two children in three years.

"Okay, I've almost figured it all out."

"Go out and let Hui Zi come in."

"Oh well."

When Xu Lu stood up from the chair, she let out a long sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

Hui Zi, on the other side, was already waiting outside the door.

As soon as the door opened, he squeezed in, urged Xu Lu to leave, closed the door behind him, and looked at Zhang Zhe expectantly:

"Brother, what do you say?" "No answer." Zhang Zhe curled his lip: "Let me ask you first, do you need love to get married?"

"Love? Dude, don't kid me. Someone like me, what love could I possibly have?"

"The one from before, wasn't it?" Zhang Zhe didn't say who it was directly, but Hui Zi would definitely understand that the girl who turned from a man into a woman was Bao's true love.

"Including him, I've only met two like that over the years."

Hui Zi wasn't too opposed to talking about this topic with Zhang Zhe. He knew that Zhang Zhe was different from Lao Bai, and he wasn't bringing up his girlfriend to mock him.

"Love is such a luxury, and it can disappear over time. I feel that my parents may not even have love between them anymore. After so many years of marriage, I guess all that's left is family affection."

"So, I feel that the cooperative marriage you mentioned before is more reliable."

"Your thinking changes pretty quickly," Zhang Zhe said, looking at Hui Zi with a different eye.

"Brother Zhang, stop praising me. Just tell me what she said to you just now? Who did Xu Lu see?"

She said she saw you.

"Really?" Hui Zi chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself. "That just means I'm not bad."

"But she lied."

"???"

"She's not good at lying; her expressions are quite telling. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask her yourself." Zhang Zhe was afraid that Hui Zi still had illusions, so he suggested that he verify it himself.

But after hearing this, Hui Zi sat down in a chair and sighed deeply: "Sigh! How can getting married be so difficult!"

"My family is already very rich, and it's still so hard for me to get married. How do those poor guys manage to get married?"

"It's just survivor bias," Zhang Zhe reassured him. "There are just too many poor guys. Even 20% of them adds up to more than the total number of rich people."

"So what should I do now?" Hui Zi shrugged. "If I get married, I might end up like Wu Dalang (a character from Journey to the West who died young). If I don't get married, I'll have to go back to blind dates."

"That depends on what you think," Zhang Zhe said, offering no advice to Hui Zi this time.

Because he didn't know the extent to which the business cooperation between the Jin and Xu families could extend through marriage, or even if it could truly bring them hundreds of millions, or more, in business...

To be honest, I'll just marry her.

Rich couples each do their own thing, isn't that enough?
"I thought about it myself..."

"I can't figure it out." After a couple of seconds of silence, Hui Zi clutched his head and said, "Brother Zhang, can you help me analyze this? What's the worst possible outcome if I marry Xu Lu?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? You're just another Wu Dalang."

"Ok."

"If you were me, what would you choose?"

"If I were you, I would ask someone to thoroughly investigate Xu Lu's background, from elementary school to now, to clarify her interpersonal relationships, and then analyze who Ximen Qing really is."

"What if Ximen Qing is no longer around? Right?"

"Brother, you're really good at comforting people." Hui Zi nodded; he understood what Zhang Zhe meant.

In many literary works, the beautiful daughters of ordinary farmers, before marrying the landlord, would first give themselves completely to the man they love, giving a sense of sacrificing themselves generously.

But now Hui Zi is that landlord, a rich man.

Xu Lu was probably that country girl who was forced into marriage.

That's quite difficult to maintain.

Zhang Zhe's suggestion was to first ask the girl how much she had given him, lest she have already given all her children to her first love and then marry the rich and powerful as if she were a treasure.

Anyway, Hui Zi is already 34, so it doesn't matter if we delay a little longer. Given the current situation, it's definitely better to play it safe.
