Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 176 Zhang Zhe, You Replace Me
"Zero votes for me?" Zhang Zhe was a little incredulous.

This is actually good news, but it feels a bit insulting: "Take another look, did you find a bug in your statistics?"

"Of course not, we're professionals."

“Look, the one with the highest votes has received 68 votes from girls.”

When Boss He saw that Zhang Zhe was "invisible," he was instantly in a good mood. Since no one was paying attention to him, he had room to maneuver.

"Could you show me what level that guy who got the most votes is at?" Zhang Zhe was very curious about who could get so many votes.

Did they rig the votes?

If someone is really that good, how could they end up on the dating market?

"Let me take a look."

"Oh, I know him. His dad works in the city's education bureau, and he's at a pretty high level. Guess why all these kindergarten and primary school teachers are voting for him?"

"It's definitely a win-win situation. If marrying into the family doesn't help solve the job security issue, then the guy's father can also lose his job."

"Yes," Mr. He nodded, "but there aren't many guys like him; most are just ordinary people."

"Some people, like you, are completely ignored."

"If you're going to participate as a matchmaker, you should study their information carefully when you get back, so you don't make a fool of yourself on the spot."

"And the procedures, we should study them carefully as well."

"Okay." Zhang Zhe nodded without changing his expression.

The two of them were in perfect sync at this moment. He didn't mention that Boss He had taken it upon himself to sign him up, but the other party turned around and helped him find a way to participate in the event as a matchmaker.

After returning home, Zhang Zhe looked at the event flowchart and burst out laughing.

What era are we living in? Why are they still holding traditional matchmaking events?

According to Mr. He's plan, this event consisted of six main parts.

After entering, the first segment is for the heavyweights:

All the boys and girls lined up to shake hands, with the girls in six rows and the boys in one line, taking turns to shake hands.

If this event were held on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), it would be met with countless criticisms. If the handshake lasted even 0.05 seconds longer, it would be labeled as sexual harassment.

However, the good thing about offline events is that most of the participants are people who care about their image.

Anyone who goes berserk on the spot will not only be condemned to social death throughout the city, but should also be prepared to be constantly harassed by their superiors.

After the handshake, the second segment began: a talent show.

Zhang Zhe looked at the program list and his vision went black. What? A matchmaking event where someone would go up and sing "Old Boy"? You could at least sing "I'll Love You Till I Die" to fit the occasion.

Latin dance is also bizarre; it might be too much for my eyes.

After that, there were two incredibly awkward segments: "Ten-on-Ten Interaction" and "Declaration of Love".

Fortunately, there was an afternoon tea break in between, so everyone could eat and watch at the same time, which gave them a break.

In Zhang Zhe's view, the only truly useful parts of this matchmaking event were the last two segments:
"Matchmaker's Chat" and "Award Ceremony for Newlyweds".

If Zhang Zhe goes, he will most likely participate in the second to last segment:
As one of the 30 matchmakers present, I helped the couples who were interested in each other to have one-on-one conversations.

As for the final awards ceremony, he also has the right to vote and can choose the couple he is most optimistic about among those holding hands.

Thinking about it carefully, the last two parts are quite interesting.

After enjoying afternoon tea to their heart's content, one can then stand by as an observer and offer sharp critiques of these matchmakers within the system.

You don't usually get this kind of opportunity. If you dared to comment on these people in another setting, you might get sent to the countryside with a stun gun.

Taking advantage of the time off from live streaming, Zhang Zhe quickly reviewed the information of the guests attending the matchmaking event.

……

Meanwhile, at the Zhiyin Marriage Agency, Boss He found Jiang Qi.

She tapped on the table, and after the other person looked up, she asked with a smile, "Teacher Jiang, have you been busy lately?"

"?" Jiang Qi was shocked, as if she had seen a ghost. Just two days ago, Boss He had been rolling his eyes at her, but now he was suddenly smiling and talking to her. It was terrifying: "Boss He, is there something you need?"

"Nothing, just came to ask if you're busy?" "Busy, I'm very busy," Jiang Qi replied hastily. "So many clients, business is really good, I feel very fulfilled every day."

"That's great." Boss He nodded with a smile: "In a couple of days, you can relax a bit."

"?"

"You don't need to go to the matchmaking event this Friday."

"???" Jiang Qi stood up on the spot: "Why?"

"Aren't you busy? Why don't you work the matchmaking agency on Friday and get some rest?"

"I've become a security guard? Mr. He, this doesn't make sense. You know how important Friday's event is to us."

"Anyone can do the shift work, why me?"

The matchmaking agency organizes many events, but only a handful can connect with city leaders.

This kind of opportunity might only come once a year.

It was a grand affair; the provincial TV station reported on it, and the city TV station followed and filmed the entire event. Needless to say, they got a lot of screen time.

Jiang Qi isn't actually that short of money; the old man she's with is already quite wealthy. She's just waiting for him to die.

What she lacks most is fame, or rather, social status.

This is also one of the reasons why she is jealous of Zhang Zhe...

"Because someone else wanted your spot," Boss He said calmly.

"Who?"

"Zhang Zhe."

"Him? What makes him so special?" Jiang Qi asked, her neck stiff, her fat face trembling slightly, clearly indignant. "Wasn't he going to be fired?"

"He has been fired. His only request before being fired was to attend this matchmaking event."

Boss He smiled happily. She had guessed that Jiang Qi would be upset, but she hadn't expected her to be this upset.
"After much thought, I have no choice but to give him your chance."

Why should I give way?

"Because you want Zhang Zhe's live stream. Choose between the live stream and the matchmaking event."

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as acceptance."

Boss He nodded in satisfaction; things were going more smoothly than she had imagined.

"By the way, Teacher Jiang, I advise you not to think about causing trouble for Zhang Zhe."

“He opened his own matchmaking agency. I just searched online and found out that several of your target clients sent him flower baskets when he opened the agency.”

"Including your old man's good-for-nothing son."

"Don't be stupid enough to provoke them. It doesn't matter if you get into trouble, but don't drag me into it, thank you."

After saying these words, Boss He left Jiang Qi, whose face was pale and livid, and quickly called Zhang Zhe to share the good news.

This is a win-win situation.

Zhang Zhe was also taken aback when he received the call.

Can you do this?

It truly is a double celebration.

He quickly thanked Teacher He.

It's no wonder that Zhiyin Marriage Agency has grown so large. There are people like Jiang Qi and Sister Zhou who have no moral bottom line and are responsible for making money, as well as people like Boss He who maintain a semblance of respectability.

After hanging up the phone, he refocused his attention on the documents in front of him.

These single men within the system, with the exception of a very few whose reasons for remaining single are unclear, share a remarkably consistent situation:
Their families were all very poor.

Some are from rural families, and he is the only one in the family who receives a salary;
Some parents are ill, so they bring their elderly parents to live with them and take care of them;
The worst off guy was unlucky in love; his ex-wife ran off with his car and house, leaving him, a 32-year-old deputy section chief, with almost no savings. It's unclear when he'll be able to recover from this.
