Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 208 The Outlook Isn't Good
"Girl," Zhang Zhe said, no longer calling her "sister" after learning she had tattoos, "what's your family's financial situation?"

Do you have the A9?

"No, no, there aren't that many."

"A8.5?"

"No, actually my dad works for my maternal grandfather, but it's inconvenient for my grandfather to show up in public."

"Not all the money I earn goes to my family."

"So although my dad has a high income, he doesn't have a lot of total assets."

"Oh, I see, your dad is the white glove."

Zhang Zhe understood immediately.

This explains why her father earns millions a year, yet the family doesn't even own an A8.5 car—because the money is meant to be divided among different people.

As for why she only became wealthy in recent years, it's simple: her maternal grandparents are likely to retire soon.

If I don't make money now, I won't have the chance when I retire.

[Let's investigate if there are any members of the judiciary in the live stream.]

There are too many people like this; it's impossible to manage them all.

Didn't you understand? They weren't making money directly; his dad started a company and did it slowly, which is very difficult to investigate.

Only when her maternal grandfather's family has a stable retirement can the money truly be considered safe.

Zhang Zhe and the viewers in the live stream were used to this kind of situation with girls.

In the live-streamed dating show, this girl's situation would only lower her rating, but with the double buff of studying abroad and having tattoos, it doesn't matter much anymore.

Ultimately, we have to look downwards.

"Girl, my suggestion is that in your situation, you should find someone you like."

“You have too many red flags. Even an ordinary A7 family like mine wouldn’t consider you. But I think some ambitious guys who come to Beijing for work, especially those who want to climb the social ladder through marriage, won’t care about these things. As long as you give them the slightest hint, they’ll pounce on you.”

"Brother Zhang, are you talking about that kind of 'phoenix man'?"

"You could say that, but with your net worth, you can ask for a little more than a rural man from a poor background to find a job in Beijing who's a drifter in a third or fourth-tier city."

"Basically, you should just pick anyone."

[Beijing drifters are enjoying their newfound happiness]

Are you saying I worked so hard to establish myself in Yanjing just to take over this mess?

Brother, if you won't take this bet, I will. Marry her, and you'll be the next white glove.

I don't think her parents would want her to marry an ordinary person.

“But…” The girl on the video call looked conflicted: “My parents told me to find someone from a similar social class, or someone whose family isn’t rich but has connections.”

"What do they say? What good is it?" Zhang Zhe scoffed, feeling that the woman's parents weren't very knowledgeable either.

No wonder they have to rely on the resources of the girl's mother's family to get rich.

Without the old man's help, we would probably just be an ordinary family in Yanjing.

"Whoever makes the request should find a solution. If they want to find a son-in-law who is of equal social standing, then you should ask them to help you find one."

"Otherwise, you'll have to rely entirely on yourself?"

"To be honest, you look like an average person, and you're a skinny stick weighing 80 pounds. No matter how much makeup you wear, your potential in relationships won't be high."

Before the girl joined the live stream, she probably had some unrealistic fantasies.

But ever since she revealed that she has tattoos, the barrage of discriminatory comments about her has never stopped, and each one is particularly hurtful.

Studying abroad and getting tattoos—how crazy must people go overseas?

[It would be better if they stayed abroad; all foreigners have tattoos.]

She showed me what the tattoo looked like, and I felt like I could find her videos on foreign websites.

[A tattooed finance student studying abroad—to be honest, even Pan Jinlian might be more traditional than her.]

The girl clearly lost interest as she spoke. After listening to Zhang Zhe's advice, she thanked him several times and then slunk away.

Only then did Zhang Zhe have a chance to read the comments carefully: "Are all the brothers' attack power this strong?"

"No, why are there still people defending it? That means the attack power is still not enough. Increase the intensity, thank you."

"The streamer doesn't discriminate against girls with tattoos. If you get a tattoo that says 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty,' I really can't say anything, otherwise it would be politically incorrect."

"I'm just simply afraid."

"There's no way around it. I was bullied by a school bully with tattoos when I was in school, and now I avoid people with tattoos."

"I heard last year that the guy passed away from skin cancer at the age of 32. Sigh, what a cruel twist of fate."

Zhang Zhe couldn't help but laugh when he saw some people in the live chat breaking down.

Actually, everyone has their own internal scale.

Zhang Zhe had a colleague who tattooed his daughter's and wife's names on his arm, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it, since he wasn't going to take the civil service exam anyway.

Seeing that the side of justice consistently prevailed in the comments, Zhang Zhe was quite satisfied with the audience's behavior this year.

Although this is Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), there isn't much disagreement about this mainstream aesthetic, and most people's opinions are quite unified.

……

Good evening, host.

"I'd like to consult you about some relationship issues, which are also related to marriage. Is that alright?"

"Sure, but only if your boyfriend knows you're joining the live stream." Zhang Zhe chuckled. This girl spoke very gently, like a sweet girl, but she didn't seem very bright.

What they call "relationship advice" is really just a way of saying they want to break up and are looking for a third party to help them weigh the pros and cons.

Zhang Zhe disliked doing this kind of work because it was thankless and exhausting.

But this girl was smart; she placed the order immediately.

Moreover, it was a 99 RMB offline consultation form that I purchased.

"Teacher, I'm not doing what the comments say about 'keeping a donkey while looking for a horse'."

“My parents don’t approve of our marriage right now, and I’m a bit conflicted. If my boyfriend is really good, I’ll have the confidence to keep going.”

Please help me.

"Sisters, should we help with this?" Zhang Zhe asked the viewers in the live stream for their opinions.

Of course I'll help, but I'll only help that boy.

[Brother Zhang, go ahead and ask. I've already found her boyfriend's account and I'm ready to send him a private message.]

I acknowledge the intimidating power of the bullet comments.

[That's right, consider it helping her boyfriend avoid potential problems.]

Seeing that the comments section was really filled with people opening boxes, Zhang Zhe decided to take on the consultation.

Just consider it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

"The audience all say it's good, so tell us what you think."

What's the situation between you and your boyfriend?

"My boyfriend and I were high school classmates, and we got together after entering college. He has been incredibly good to me all these years."

“But in terms of family background, I am better off than him. He is currently in the construction industry, and my father thinks he has no future and hopes he can find someone with a government job.”

"Anyway, they just don't want the two of us to be together."

"That's pretty much the situation, teacher. What do you think?"

"Does working within the system guarantee a good future?" Zhang Zhe asked, puzzled. "Is your father, a high-ranking official within the system, grooming your future husband to be his successor?"

"No, my dad runs his own business."

"Then what are the prospects within the system?" Zhang Zhe asked with a puzzled look. "How many people within the system dare to say they have a promising future? And how come those who truly have a promising future end up in the outside dating market?"

"Sister, what you said makes me think your dad is a bit stupid."

"Why don't you think about it again? What specific things is he dissatisfied with about your boyfriend?"
