Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 202 Whose Surname Should the Child Take?

If there were a martial arts manual for the matchmaking market, the top-ranked one would definitely be "Same-Sex Competition".

The secret manual says:

You can find any kind of partner you want, provided you can compete with others. If you can't compete, you lose your priority in choosing a partner.

The boy I was talking to on the video call was the loser in the same-sex competition.

In high school, he was no match for the blond-haired guy and the sports students;

In college, I was overshadowed by handsome guys and rich kids.

I finally got a job, but all I can do is watch the rich and senior employees being chauffeured around.

This is where the first secret of the unorthodox path comes in: "misaligned competition".

If you can't compete with your peers, older people, or even those a year or two younger than you, then compete with people who are 5 or even 10 years younger than you.

Many men have too much mental burden, feeling that it's not good to find someone much younger than themselves. But the problem is, so many rich people also find younger women when they get older.

Of course, if you choose a younger partner, you also have to accept their shortcomings, such as emotional instability, poor financial ability, and excessive demands.

But the problem is, isn't this a case of being unable to compete with someone of the same sex?

After cultivating on the righteous path for 100 years, he was still only at the first level of Qi Refining. With his lifespan coming to an end, he decided to take the path of evil cultivation and give it a shot. What if he could reach the Foundation Establishment stage?

"Brother, why don't you give it a try first?"

"Since you've already found out who I am, it won't be difficult to get my contact information from the guys at the company."

"If all else fails, come to Qing City and I'll provide you with some in-person tutoring."

"Hmm?" the boy asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, you also handle offline calls? Can I pay for you to come to Shenzhen?"

"Do you mean this offline thing in the real sense?" Zhang Zhe frowned. "You can bring your girlfriend over offline after you find her, and I'll help you vet her."

"Just give me a consultation fee of 99 yuan."

"I brought my girlfriend here to show you, and you still want money from me?"

"Nonsense, I only watch, I don't participate." Zhang Zhe knew his friend on the live stream was teasing him, so he rolled his eyes at him.

Is it really that cheap?

[Brother Zhang, are you open tomorrow? I'm thinking of coming.]

How many hours of consultation does 99 yuan cover? That needs to be clarified.

"Starting at 99 yuan for 2 hours."

"No, let's say at least one hour."

“Otherwise, I feel like I’m too cheap.” Zhang Zhe did the math: if the hourly wage is 99, and he works 996, his monthly salary would be 25,000, which is about the same as his salary a few years ago.

“Okay, if I really can’t make it, I’ll come to Qing City to find you.” The boy said with a smile, “I’ll go ask the HR for your information later.”

"Be careful to keep this a secret, don't let it slip to me."

"Yes, Brother Zhang, don't worry, I know the rules."

After the boy disconnected from the live stream, Zhang Zhe glanced at the comments and briefly described the address of his shop to everyone.

We've also put our 99 RMB offline consultation package on Xiaohongshu to test the waters first. If business is too good, we'll raise the price.

……

After waiting for a while and no one connected to the live stream, Zhang Zhe started his usual routine of checking private messages.

This time, a girl with a Handong IP address was the most proactive, sending the same private message from three different accounts:
"Brother Zhang, I'd like to ask what the requirements are for a son-in-law to live with his wife's family? What kind of son-in-law can I find?"

Zhang Zhe immediately became interested in this question.

The women's accounts all show an age of 24. It's really strange for a woman this age to be looking for a live-in son-in-law.

He sent a private message to the other party reminding them that he was live streaming and needed to join the live stream.

A reply came shortly after: "Brother Zhang, I just got off work and will be online right away!"

Two minutes later, the "son-in-law sister" went on mic.

"Brother Zhang, let me introduce myself first." "I was born in 01, have a bachelor's degree, am 165 cm tall, weigh around 90 catties, and am the kind of girl who has had suitors since I was a child, the class beauty."

"I have a rather strong personality, and in a normal relationship, the man usually can't accept it, so I want to find a son-in-law who will live with me."

[Is she already looking for a son-in-law to live with her family at 24?]

[Sister's thinking is so clear, kudos to you!]

Sister, I don't want to try anymore.

What kind of person should I look for? This is killing me!

Zhang Zhe couldn't help but frown when he heard "strong personality":
"Sister, how strong-willed are you? Like a chauvinist? Like Miss Dong?"

"Yes, my classmates and colleagues all say that I have a bit of an Iron Lady vibe."

"..." Zhang Zhe already had a picture in his mind.

He always keeps his distance from this type of girl in his life because they are sharp-tongued and can easily hurt people with their words and actions.

“A strong personality is indeed suitable for the Xiong Jing route, no problem, there are quite a few girls like that nowadays.”

"But very few people get married at your age. They are usually single until around 30, and then use their own money and resources to find a younger man."

"I don't want to date the younger type of guy," the woman said somewhat reluctantly. "I can accept a low income; I can support the family, as long as the children take my surname."

“Those younger brothers are just for fun, I don’t think it counts as marriage, and by then I’ll be too old to have children.”

[Medium-Value Intelligence]

Your blind date, Zhang Yue, comes from a family with strong patriarchal views. She was raised as a boy from a young age and has a very strong personality, making normal dating difficult for her.
Because she holds traditional beliefs about carrying on the family line, she hopes to find a son-in-law who will live with her family. However, her own family situation does not provide sufficient financial support. It is advised that the host carefully screen potential suitors.

After reading the intelligence, Zhang Zhe glanced at the comments section.

The guys are all very easygoing; nobody cares whether the child takes their surname, as long as the woman can afford to raise it.

"Sister, do you care a lot about your child's surname?"

"You're looking for a son-in-law just to carry on your family line?"

"Pretty much." The girl emphasized her IP address: "I'm from Lunan, where the preference for sons over daughters is quite strong."

“I was raised as a boy since I was a child, and my parents also hoped that my children could take our family name so that the family line would not be broken.”

“In our area, children usually take the man’s surname, unless they marry into the family.”

"OK, I understand now." Zhang Zhe nodded, indicating that he had figured out the woman's thoughts.

"It's possible to find someone in this situation, but it depends on your family's circumstances. How much wealth do you have?"

“My family is just an ordinary working class, not even an A7.”

Do working-class families accept sons-in-law who live with their wives' families?

What kind of crazy man would become a live-in son-in-law for a few tens of thousands of yuan from your family?

This girl is interesting; I've never seen anything like her before.

I thought her family was rich! My hometown is in Handong, and I'm even interested!

"Sister, do you know that you should look for a son-in-law from a lower social class, not someone from the same social class?"

"Only those whose family conditions are a level below yours would be willing to become a live-in son-in-law."

"Someone worse off than you, you're going to find a bachelor from the countryside?"

"To be honest, given the customs in Handong, rural men would rather stay single than become live-in sons-in-law in working-class families, right?"

"That's about it." The girl had done her research on the "market rate" beforehand, but she still didn't know what to do: "The guys around here are pretty concerned about their image. The moment they hear about marrying into the family, they don't even want to date anymore..."

"It has nothing to do with saving face; it's about weighing the pros and cons."

"The primary condition for becoming a live-in son-in-law is that your family's economic background must ensure that the man has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. If he comes here and has to struggle with you, what would he be after?"

"You don't actually need to take in a son-in-law."

"In a normal relationship, wouldn't it be enough to just find a guy who's willing to let his children take your family name?"
