Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 165 Yanjing Household Registration
"So what should I do now?" the woman asked, voicing the most classic question in the live stream.

Many people come to the live stream with questions, hoping Zhang Zhe can give them some advice.

"I forgot to ask you," Zhang Zhe said, steer the conversation back to the normal rhythm of the dating market: "How old are you this year?"

"I was born in 97."

“You’re 28 now, so you really need to start thinking about it.” Zhang Zhe nodded, a little curious: “When you were younger, how much did you ask for in terms of dowry? Two million?”

"No, it has always been 150 million."

"Your parents simply believe that you need to have 450 million yuan in cash in your pocket to marry them in order to be happy?"

"..." The woman didn't know how to answer Zhang Zhe's question, but her silence indicated that it was a consensus she had reached with her parents.

The reason may be inconvenient to disclose.

Zhang Zhe didn't dwell on it and continued to push forward:
"Are you currently working in Beijing? Do you plan to settle down in Beijing, return to Wenzhou, or go to Italy?"

"I want to stay in Yanjing."

“But I don’t have a Beijing household registration. I want to find someone with a Beijing household registration, but those with Beijing household registration and similar family conditions to mine are mostly locals, and locals don’t usually pay dowries.”

What are you babbling about? Just say you're dreaming!

[The locals in Yanjing are simply unwilling to pay a bride price. They only resort to it when their sons can't find wives. It's like buying a wife with money. This kind of marriage will be something people will talk about for a lifetime.]

Choose between money and residency status.

[If she wants a local residency permit, she should spend money to pursue a master's or doctoral degree, but I don't think she's very bright.]

[You can't get a household registration after getting married, right? Does anyone know?]

“Regarding your situation…” Zhang Zhe pondered for a moment and then said, “I actually do have a solution.”

"Brother Zhang!" the woman asked in surprise, "What method?"

"With your current qualifications, you can't settle down in Yanjing, right?"

“Yes, it seems like marriage is out of the question.” The woman was clearly very concerned about this: “I will definitely be developing my career in Yanjing in the future, and my parents’ business is also here, but anyone who has lived in Yanjing knows that it is very inconvenient without a local household registration.”

"I'm currently considering settling down in Tianjin, but I still prefer to stay in Beijing."

“OK, that’s settled.” Zhang Zhe helped analyze it: “Sister, look, a Beijing household registration was worth 50 yuan in 2013.”

"It's 2025 now, 150 million isn't a lot, is it?"

"That makes things much simpler. Just find a guy with a Beijing residency permit, someone from a similar social class to you, and sign an agreement with him."

"You're 28 now, right? So the agreement will state that you can't get divorced within 17 years, and it guarantees that you can get a Beijing household registration when you turn 45. If the other party breaches the contract, they will compensate you 150 million."

Is this even possible?

[You're such a genius at coming up with ideas, host!]

The problem is, this kind of agreement has no legal effect, right?

Divorce is a matter of absolute freedom; this kind of agreement is useless.

Go ahead and get a divorce, just pay up. You can't expect to get all the benefits yourself.

"Will this work?" The woman sounded hesitant. "Something feels off..."

"Of course it's strange, because it's completely a transaction."

“But there’s nothing I can do. Your family won’t budge until they see 150 million. I can’t understand it, but I’ve really tried to find a way for you.”

Zhang Zhe's tone was also helpless. Although the matchmaking market nowadays emphasizes matching social status, it usually involves two people falling in love before discussing marriage, and the terms of marriage are discussed based on the family backgrounds of both parties.

Who would insist on a fixed dowry amount from the outset, regardless of the family's financial situation?
Is it a threshold fee?

The amount varies depending on the specific circumstances of the recipient. If the recipient is well-off, then it's normal to only give a token amount.

"Sister, if you trust me, go on blind dates, attend all kinds of blind date events, or find someone to introduce you to someone." "In short, when it comes to blind dates, you have to find someone you like before you talk about marriage."

"The impression you give me now is that as long as there is a decent man, regardless of whether he is suitable or not, you are willing to marry him if he gives you a dowry of 150 million. Your family background and such are just used to prove that you are worth that price."

"This really won't do..."

After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat exhausted. Whoever took a liking to this girl would truly be blessed.

"Okay, I understand." The woman's response was rather dismissive, and it was unclear whether she had actually taken it to heart.

However, judging from the comments, most viewers believe that:
She may understand, but she won't change.

Zhang Zhe also believed it.

This is Xiaohongshu. He still trusts the judgment of his fellow girls. When it comes to distinguishing their own kind, they are the absolute authorities.

……

After ending the live stream, Zhang Zhe went to check his private messages.

In just this short time, I received dozens more private messages, each with a different message:
"If men can't be stepfathers and women can't be stepmothers, does the streamer want me, a divorced woman, to die?"

"I've been watching your live stream for a week now. You're always putting down the girls who come to chat with you. But if it's a guy, you say you can find someone. Is that really necessary?"

"So what if someone asks for a million-yuan bride price? If they can't afford it, they don't have to marry her. Is it necessary to criticize them?"

"Flirting with male anchors, disgusting!"

"It's hard to imagine why a man like you can be a matchmaker. In your eyes, a girl wanting to find a good man is just wishful thinking?"

"..."

Zhang Zhe was a little confused after reading it.

Are the attacks from Xiaohongshu users these days so weak? Is it because they're so unpopular that even online bullying doesn't have any effect?
Not interesting!
Zhang Zhe curled his lip, and amidst a barrage of abusive private messages, he finally found a normal person:

"Brother Zhang, I just dumped my girlfriend. Can you help me analyze whether I did the right thing?"

"Is [Bald Qiang Liu Neng] there?" Zhang Zhe decided to give this normal guy a chance: "If you're here, come on the mic."

"Tell everyone your story."

The boy was indeed in the live stream. Not long after Zhang Zhe finished speaking, the other party appeared in the list of requests to connect with him.

After he got on the microphone, Zhang Zhe didn't rush him to talk about the breakup, but instead asked him to introduce himself first:
"Tell me about your personal qualifications first."

"Emotional counseling isn't my forte. You can ask the ladies in the live stream to help you analyze it later."

"Don't worry, Little Red Book's girlfriends are known for their bias. If they all say it's your fault, then it means you did the right thing."

"What if they all praise me for doing the right thing?" the boy asked curiously.

"That means there are more normal people in our live stream room now," Zhang Zhe said with a smile. "Anyway, I've only been live streaming for less than half an hour, and there are already dozens of people cursing me in the backstage."

"You'd better prepare to enjoy a life of luxury."

"After the live stream ends, you'll receive private messages cursing at me."

"I can understand women cursing at me, but the problem is that some men also curse at me. Maybe they identify as female."

[Haha, do guys really insult streamers?]

I think you're pretty normal, Zhang Ge; it's the people who are criticizing you who are abnormal.

Why did the anchor say that? Do you think we'd sympathize with you?

In my opinion, they should randomly connect with a viewer and let them comment as well.
