Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 172 What's the Use of Family Assets?

"Sister, in our situation, let's not get involved. They want a real A8, so don't make things worse with Pinduoduo."

Zhang Zhe truly hadn't expected to see this angle.

It was also due to a bug caused by the sister's card.

"Why?!" The girl was clearly unwilling to give up: "I think family assets are just an entry standard. If my family has this kind of money, then I can get into the A8 matchmaking event."

"Anyway, it's just the two of us living together after we get married, and our parents won't give us their money directly."

“Even if the boy’s parents are rich, they won’t give him all of it in the short term. Inheriting an estate is something that happens decades later, and it has no meaning for us now.”

"Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid?" Zhang Zhe was taken aback. "Sister, do you know why some blind dates require checking family assets?"

"To ensure that both of us have similar spending habits and social perceptions," the woman said, revealing her answer. She added, "Although my parents are divorced, I was raised in a wealthy family, so there's no problem with that."

"If I were poor, I wouldn't have studied art. Tutoring fees alone cost over 100,000 yuan."

"Then you must have misunderstood." Zhang Zhe waved his finger.

"The purpose of the matchmaking card is to understand the families of both men and women, and how much they can help or burden your future family."

"Your parents' money may not matter much to you two adults in the short term, but you'll understand when you have children of your own—the money will all belong to the children."

"The granddaughters or great-granddaughters of wealthy families receive far more financial support than you might imagine."

You'll know once you have children: elderly people may be stingy with their own children, but they are usually very generous with their grandchildren. There are quite a few who spend all their pension money on their descendants.

It's important to understand that in Chinese families, there's a common phenomenon of grandparents being closer to their grandchildren than their sons. This has been the case since ancient times, even among emperors, with examples of exceptionally kind grandchildren readily available.

"To be honest, two young people can have a great time if they get married but don't have children, but once they have children, the financial pressure will suddenly increase several levels."

"At this point, the difference becomes apparent when both sets of parents are there to provide support."

"Sister, even though your family can afford an A8.2, how much money and energy can your parents actually give you after their divorce?"

"..." The woman admitted with difficulty, "They basically can't give me anything. All I can say is that they won't hold me back."

Have your parents remarried?

"Yes, and my mom also had a younger brother, but my stepfather is quite rich, so I don't need to help him with anything."

Sister, your family is so broken.

No wonder they're already thinking about marriage in their senior year of college; they really should get married while they're still young.

She's at least honest, which I think is a good thing.

[For an art student from such a disadvantaged family background, all I can say is, those who know, know.]

Am I the only one who thinks this girl is outstanding? She deserves this guy.

In terms of economic status, this girl was obviously at a disadvantage compared to the male guest, but Zhang Zhe did not rush to reject her.

For a woman who is good-looking, if her family of origin doesn't hold her back and she can guarantee that she won't exploit her husband's family after marriage, that's already the lowest acceptable standard.

"Orphans" are not necessarily worse than "Voldemort".

Plus, she's young, only 23 years old, which adds to her appeal.

The guy on the live stream was a sucker who was willing to spend 100 million yuan on a bride price and 1000 million yuan on a wedding house, so he certainly didn't have high requirements for the woman's family background, and didn't even expect the woman to contribute too much money to the wedding.

What men value most is a woman's willingness to contribute to the family after marriage.

Zhang Zhe decided to help investigate:
Are you currently looking for a job? After graduation, do you plan to stay in Shenghai and work in which industry?

"I'm still hesitating," the girl said somewhat shyly. "I have two options right now. One is to become a professional model. My figure and looks are good enough. When I did part-time work before, I could feel my advantages in this area."

“Another option is to become a flight attendant, which is more stable.” “…”

"Sister, if you choose either of these two options, you'll basically eliminate the possibility of getting married properly."

Zhang Zhe smiled and shook his head:
"I originally thought you still had a chance. As long as you didn't have much romantic experience and kept yourself pure, you had a chance to get married."

"But it sounds like you still want to find the old man, right?"

"Then go become a model. If you happen to be spotted by a director, you can rise to great heights."
Flight attendants are out of the question. That profession might have been somewhat competitive 20 years ago, but it's lost all its prestige now.

Zhang Zhe's statement is actually a bit too absolute. Flight attendants still have a significant advantage in terms of short-term dating and casual encounters.

But in the marriage market, they're not even as good as girls who are taking civil service exams.

"Can I become a self-media blogger?" the girl asked again.

"What type? Edge-of-the-road?"

"No, no, no, beauty bloggers, female bloggers don't necessarily have to use makeup, they can become popular just by their looks."

"Yes, but actually, self-media bloggers, or models, are all following a similar path to Xiong Jing, pursuing exposure and becoming a strong woman."

"Of course, you can also use this method to indirectly marry a rich man. I can only say that there is a chance, but the greater probability is that you will be deceived or scammed."

"Actually, if you look at those female celebrities, you'll know that they represent the pinnacle of the industry you want to enter, but very few of them actually marry well."

[Brother Zhang is absolutely right. If even female celebrities can't find good husbands, it's even harder for ordinary women to go down this path.]

I honestly can't imagine why a rich man would marry a model, unless he's the son of a wealthy man's fourth wife.

With looks like hers, she can't become a star; she can only be a minor internet celebrity.

[Her ceiling is Wanwan; if she marries into a fake wealthy family like Da Zui, she'll have to check her Alipay credit limit before attending an auction.]

"Teacher, what should I do?"

As the girl listened, she felt that her future had been completely negated, and said somewhat dejectedly, "It seems like I have no way out."

"Sister, put aside your little circle's mentality of marrying rich men for now."

Zhang Zhe could tell that this girl was also brainless; he could tell from the fact that she could even think of "becoming a flight attendant."

Choosing a career path that aligns with the career goals of art college graduates is as abstract as investing heavily in declining stocks right after entering the stock market.

"If you're clean enough not to become the female lead in a PDF or short video, then you should take the civil service exam as soon as possible."

"Once you're in the system, your looks become the truly scarce resource."

"Of course, if you don't pass the exam, then there's nothing I can do," Zhang Zhe said, shrugging.

"But it's very difficult to get a government job in Sheng Hai." The girl seemed hesitant. "I don't think I have the ability."

At this moment, the boy who had been silent finally couldn't hold back any longer and pleaded with Zhang Zhe, "Brother Zhang, can I say something? I'm going crazy."

"Then don't go crazy yet." Zhang Zhe couldn't help but laugh: "Tell me, what are your thoughts?"

"I think the female guest is a nice person, but I'd like to ask her, what is her dating experience like?"

The boy was very direct:

“My classmate told me that girls majoring in art are short-term lovers, and some of them start messing around as early as high school.”

"Dude, you..." Zhang Zhe touched his forehead helplessly after hearing this: "You two aren't a good match, so don't ask such private questions."
