Chapter 213, introduced by Lao Bai.

Promoting the family line is indeed the central theme of a Chinese man's life.

Zhang Zhe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Even a gigolo like the eldest brother is not immune to this.

“If you want to carry on the family line, why don’t you just find a girl who’s willing to have children?” Zhang Zhe thought it was quite simple: “Does it matter whether she’s after your money or not?”

"Of course it's important," the older brother said matter-of-factly. "I don't care about myself, but it's not the same for the children. The children need a reliable mother."

"Passing on the family line isn't just about giving birth; you have to raise your child to be successful."

“…I was oversimplifying things.” Zhang Zhe hadn’t expected his older brother to have thought so much.

This is much better than those women in the Yangtze River Delta region who constantly clamor for "divorce the father and keep the son".

The older brother understood very well that without a stable family environment and the care of parental love, children are prone to developing psychological problems during their growth.

This isn't something that can be solved with money alone.

The eldest brother clearly has his own thoughts on raising offspring, and those thoughts are correct.

Zhang Zhe thought for a moment and then told the other party:
“If you really care about your child’s growth, I have a rather difficult path to take, and I don’t know if you would be willing to consider it.”

"Brother Zhang, you go ahead."

"Find a female teacher in a rural town who is over 32 years old. Ideally, she should work in a place far away from your previous two marriages so that her family won't be affected by your background."

"To put it bluntly, to her, you're just a nouveau riche from the city."

"Of course, you'll lose out in this kind of marriage, because a female teacher who isn't married at this age can't offer you any emotional value, and her family might even leech off you."

"But correspondingly, the more dependent she and her family are on you, the more stable your marital relationship will be."

[This guy must be worth tens of millions, right? Isn't he crazy to date an older female teacher?]

[Two marriages with a history of the man living off a woman—who in their right mind would marry him?]

[If he wants a stable marriage, he can only find a single woman who's still single; any young woman with even a little ambition wouldn't choose him.]

To put it bluntly, she's just a gender-swapped female internet celebrity. Finding a partner with a stable job would be best for her, and she can live a low-key life for the rest of her days.

With his looks, he'd be a total heartbreaker among female teachers, wouldn't he?

"Huh?" The older brother exclaimed in surprise.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhang Zhe made sense.

In particular, Zhang Zhe told him that by choosing a partner in this way, he could even require the woman to have a certain level of education, which was equivalent to screening the other half's genes.

"Brother Zhang, so those older female teachers are just for people like me?"

"I used to send comments in the live stream mocking those older single women, but I never thought I'd end up having to date them?"

"This is so damn frustrating, it's like going on a blind date and ending up with Yang Li and Fu Shou'er."

“It’s not necessary to look for someone who lives according to the Gregorian calendar.” Zhang Zhe told his older brother not to worry too much: “With your qualifications, you can still be selective.”

"You still have room to refuse those single women who make wishes."

"Should I consider someone like Voldemort?" the older brother asked after thinking for a moment. "I feel like many older single women have younger brothers or sisters at home."

"We'll see. We don't need to consider most of Voldemort."

"But if it's the kind of situation where they ask you for a bride price and then use that money to help their brother get married, you should ask around and see if you can avoid the middleman making a profit."

"To be honest, your situation is pretty much the same as a girl who gets out of poverty and marries an honest man."

"You can change your mindset and treat those single women as honest men."

"666, as expected of Brother Zhang." The older brother nodded with a look of admiration, cupped his hands towards the camera, and solemnly said thank you.

"Brother Zhang, I'm going downstairs to ask the matchmakers back home. If there's a suitable one, I'll go on a blind date. If it works out, you have to come to the wedding banquet!" "No problem, I'll definitely come and get a drink." Zhang Zhe readily agreed.

However, he also reminded his older brother to be sincere and to explain his situation clearly. He shouldn't lose his basic sincerity just because the woman is "honest".

After all, they're going to get married and live a real life together.

……

After the broadcast ended, Zhang Zhe briefly organized the footage from the live stream, deciding not to include the segment about the "soft rice king" (a term referring to someone who lives off a woman).

Only viewers who contribute to the popularity of their own live stream deserve this Burning Secret.

Anyway, the videos posted by Zhang Zhe that received the most likes were mostly those criticizing gold diggers and scumbag women.

Fans on Douyin aren't really interested in serious analysis of marriage; they just want to rant and rave together.

The next morning, Zhang Zhe arrived at the matchmaking agency early.

Last night, Lao Bai told him that a high-end client had been recruited and asked Zhang Zhe to quickly analyze the woman's marriage prospects, because the girl was getting engaged tomorrow.

I've seen people in a hurry, but I've never seen anyone in such a hurry.

Zhang Zhe dared not slack off. He arrived at the matchmaking agency early and cleaned the shop. Lao Bai even paid the consultation fee of 8,800 yuan for that girl. For a customer like that, she should be served a better cup of tea.

However, the other party was in a real hurry; he had just started boiling the water when the guest arrived.

A family of three: a mother, a daughter, and a younger brother.

The person seeking consultation about marriage issues is a daughter named Yang Hui, 27 years old, with an appearance score of 3.5 out of 10. She appears to be pretentious but is actually quite petty.

Her younger brother was even worse than her; he was playing games on his phone the whole time and didn't even look up.

What puzzled Zhang Zhe the most was Yang's mother: a mother of two, over 50 years old, yet she seemed somewhat timid and hesitant, her eyes constantly darting around, giving off a suspicious and sensitive vibe.

Since he was introduced by Lao Bai and had already paid the money, after exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Zhe didn't beat around the bush:
"Old Bai has roughly told me about your situation. Your family is in the furniture business. 'Old Yang Furniture City' belongs to your family, right?"

“Yes.” Mother Yang nodded: “Old Bai said that you are the best matchmaker in Qing City and told us that we must come to you.”

"Yes, I am."

"You've come to the right place." Zhang Zhe's skin has become quite thick by now.

If Old Bai is already bragging about himself like this, and he doesn't accept the offer, it would make Old Bai look like a clown. So he has to be the best matchmaker in the city.

"Shall I talk to your daughter first? When it comes to marriage, I tend to listen to the most honest thoughts of the people involved."

"Okay, sure." Yang's mother stood up and switched places with her daughter: "Huihui, you should explain things to Matchmaker Zhang."

"Where should I begin?" Yang Hui asked Zhang Zhe with very clear eyes.

"Let's start by telling us how you met your boyfriend?"

"All I know for now is that your boyfriend is the manager of your family's company."

"Okay, sure." The girl nodded. "I met him about three years ago, when I had just graduated from university."

"Because I couldn't find a job, my dad made me work at a furniture store. He was already a manager at that time."

“My dad introduced him to me. He’s a really nice guy and he’s very considerate to me, so we started dating.”

"Can I interpret it this way: he's the partner your father picked out for you?" Zhang Zhe had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

This girl gives off the impression of being the type whose marriage will be arranged by her family.

"Yes, it was my dad who thought he was a good match for me."

"And what about yourself?" Zhang Zhe pressed, "What do you think of him? Are you even slightly tempted?"

“There is definitely something there, otherwise I wouldn’t have talked to him for so long. But after my father passed away, his parents’ attitude scared me a little. I was afraid that his previous kindness was all an act.”
