Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 190 My Single-Parenting Experience Is Different

The male guests managed to stop, but Zhang Zhe's seat still wobbled several times from the impact.

Once most people had settled down, Zhang Zhe roughly counted that there were at least 40 male guests on his side.

Moreover, once they arrived, no one intended to leave. There was no situation where they would switch teams just because there were too many people. They all seemed determined to find a beautiful woman to meet on blind dates.

We're all in the system, and nobody thinks they're inferior to anyone else. Besides, there's no cost to dating here, and the success rate is low, so why not find a pretty girl and make yourself happier?
You should know that if you were to find a woman like contestant number 88 through a matchmaking agency, the matchmaker would ask you for a referral fee.

Beautiful women are a valuable resource wherever they are.

However, this also means that a large number of matchmakers are now in the same predicament as Zhang Zhe:

There were no male guests sitting next to them, and they had a long 45 minutes to endure.

With so many people having nothing to do, how about...

Zhang Zhe suddenly turned around, wanting to see if any kind-hearted people were willing to help him share the burden. This was a perfect opportunity to show off his true goodness and beauty.

Coincidentally, all the matchmakers who had nothing to do were watching him at that moment.

However, the subtle smiles on everyone's faces indicated that they had no intention of helping; they were already being very polite by not smiling.

There was no other way; Zhang Zhe was no longer one of the people at Zhiyin Matchmaking Agency. If these people helped him, they might get into trouble with Sister Zhou. It was definitely better to just watch the show.

"Matchmaker, may we begin?" The woman's gentle and refreshing voice rang in his ear: "But there seem to be quite a few people."

"Hehe, you call this a little bit?" Zhang Zhe's intuition told him that this girl was a bit of a flirt, but with her looks, a little flirtation was perfectly reasonable.

With so many guys, it's unrealistic to expect them all to come on blind dates one by one; it would exhaust Zhang Zhe to death.

Each round of this activity is only 45 minutes long, so extending the time for just one girl is not advisable.

Anyone who has organized large-scale events knows that the worst thing you can do is cause a segment to run overtime due to personal reasons, because the leaders of the later segments are already waiting.

If you make your superiors wait or cause them to miss their mealtime, then no matter how well you organize the event, it will still have flaws.

"It seems we have no choice but to filter out some people first, since most of them are not suitable anyway."

Zhang Zhe quickly thought it over in his mind:
"If I were to say who is capable and who is not, it would definitely cause a huge reaction. I would lose face in front of so many people."

"We can only make them give up."

"Looks like I'll have to use my old-fashioned methods."

Zhang Zhe nodded silently, returned to his original position, set up his phone for the live stream, and explained to the viewers:
“There’s been a problem. The ratio of male to female guests on my side has reached an astonishing 40:1. The original one-on-one matchmaking is no longer working, so we may have to change our approach.”

[1 vs. 40? Is this a thank-you ceremony?]

Is Brother Zhang helping the emperor choose his concubines? So many people are vying for the same one!

[I understand, this is the male version of If You Are the One]

[Want to know what kind of qualities the woman has? Could the host tell us?]

"The woman's situation is quite simple; she's a 7 out of 10 beauty," Zhang Zhe explained casually.

The viewers in the live stream described it correctly; the current situation is essentially the same as "Do Not Disturb."

Zhang Zhe is now a bald TV host and relationship expert.

These 40-plus boys all have their lights on right now.

This indicates that the girl had a very good first impression.

The next step is for the girl to introduce herself.

"Ms. Matchmaker, can we begin?" The male guest who had grabbed the first spot and was already seated was a little impatient.

"Brother, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"There are people more anxious than you. Don't you want to look behind you?"

"I'm not watching." The male guest shook his head: "Let's start already, I feel like I'm a good match for this female guest."

"Haha, okay, but let me find out about the girl's situation for you first."

"The guys in line behind, listen up. We won't have to exchange information one by one later; that's too much trouble." "Here you go, Ms. Chen." Zhang Zhe looked at the information registered on the official WeChat account and began asking targeted questions: "Do you currently have a permanent position?"

"I'm asking questions that guys care about most, so please answer them directly and honestly."

"..." The woman paused for a moment, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared: "Not yet, but I have high standards for myself and I'm constantly improving myself. I'll have a permanent position soon."

"OK, it's good that you have high expectations of yourself, as long as you don't have high expectations of the other person."

Zhang Zhe's explanation was quite clear, but it's unclear whether the other boys present could understand it.

The mindset of being strict with oneself and lenient with others might be something some girls might have, but it's quite unlikely that a girl could actually do that.

When a woman on a blind date talks about her "future," she's just trying to find a legitimate reason to make a request that's completely out of touch with her current situation.

For example, if a 150-pound chubby girl says, "I'm on a diet," she will require her boyfriend to be fat, and even have eight-pack abs.

"You transferred from a junior college to a university, so why do I see that your requirement for a partner is at least a master's degree?"

When Zhang Zhe asked this question, he turned his head and glanced at the male guests waiting beside him. Some of them already looked unwell.

These bags are for undergraduate degrees.

However, Zhang Zhe's next words gave these people renewed hope:

"From the perspective of matchmaking, I actually suggest that you don't be picky about having a master's degree; a bachelor's degree is already quite good."

“That won’t do.” The woman shook her head firmly and said, “I’m still constantly improving myself. I will definitely improve my education in the future, which will also help me with the civil service exam.”

“If the man’s education level is too low, he won’t be able to keep up with me.”

【66666】

[Could you please take the postgraduate entrance exam first before saying something like that?]

[My future is what I envision, so I must demand this of myself now.]

[What kind of Tang Dynasty person is speaking? They don't seem like a normal person.]

"OK, I understand what you're thinking."

Zhang Zhe couldn't hold back any longer and directly pointed out the other party's tactics:

"You believe you'll become a better person in the future, so you're looking for a husband for your future self, right?"

“Yes, that’s right,” the girl said shamelessly. “I believe in my own abilities. If a guy doesn’t believe his partner can change for the better, then there’s no point in getting married, right?”

“Then you have to believe that we men will also improve after marriage.” One of the male guests in the queue couldn’t help but chime in, following the woman’s logic: “I have an undergraduate degree now, and I can take the postgraduate entrance exam later.”

“We are different.” The girl shook her head: “You people working in the system are so busy that you don’t have time to improve yourselves. I have classmates who work in the system, and we can’t get together more than a few times a year.”

"To be honest, you're quite clear-headed." Zhang Zhe glanced at the girl; being able to play the double standard so well is a skill in itself.

"But let me ask you on behalf of my buddies, you're already 28, are you planning to pursue a master's degree?"

"Yes, so I don't want to find someone from a poor family, someone whose family requires both of us to work every day just to survive."

"Since you've brought up family background," Zhang Zhe smiled almost imperceptibly, "then let's talk about yours."

"You're from a single-parent family, right?"

Okay, now everything has an answer.

[There must have been quite a few boys leaving by now, right?]

[So many men still like single-parent families? I'd say it's a 7 out of 10]

The comments section was full of speculation that the guys would walk away immediately after hearing about the girl's single-parent family background, but that's not the case. This information was previously published on a public WeChat account.

These boys naturally knew all of this.

Moreover, the woman was very understanding, and immediately explained, "But I come from a single-parent family, and my situation is different from others."

"What's different?" Zhang Zhe asked curiously, "Is it because you've been divorced more times, or are your parents faking their divorces?"
