Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 232 New Rewards
"Advising people to get divorced?" Xia's mother chuckled. "Don't you run a matchmaking agency? How come you're competing with divorce lawyers for business?"

"Well... it's mainly because there's market demand," Zhang Zhe explained. "Auntie, think about it, if someone comes to me for advice before getting a divorce, doesn't that mean they believe in marriage?"

"I want to see in advance whether he can remarry after the divorce."

"Of course I have to respect these customers; they're like repeat customers."

"Haha, if everyone did what you say, your matchmaking agency would never lack business."

Xia's mother nodded. Her doubts were basically resolved. Knowing that Zhang Zhe was not a proper matchmaker, she actually felt a little relieved.

Being a matchmaker has never been a good profession. Although it can be quite lucrative and good matchmakers can gain recognition, the risks are considerable because they are involved in other people's marriages.

The major events in a Chinese person's life are nothing more than going to school, finding a job, getting married, having children, and taking care of old age. Marriage is extremely important, and if something goes wrong, some people are truly willing to risk their lives to seek revenge.

Before coming, Xia's mother was a little worried.

But when she arrived at Zhang Zhe's matchmaking agency and read his private messages, she realized that the person her daughter had found seemed to be no ordinary matchmaker.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to think of him as a host discussing marriage and relationships.

Being a live streamer isn't exactly a great job, but it's low-risk. At worst, you'll starve, but you won't get attacked by people.

Combining it with a profession like matchmaking, which can be done for a lifetime, seems to complement each other's weaknesses.

Xia's mother decided to observe further.

She plans to go back and spend some time talking to Zhang Zhe's high school teachers to ask him what's going on with the boy.

"Yiyi, we're done talking."

"Come out here. Aren't you tired of eavesdropping at the door?"

"Mom—" Xia Yi pushed open the door and said with a hint of arrogance, "I wasn't eavesdropping. This door isn't soundproof at all. I can hear it even when I'm sitting down."

"Have you finished talking? Shall I take you home?"

"Okay, can you help me call a taxi?" Xia's mother declined Zhang Zhe's invitation to "have lunch together" and insisted on eating at the school cafeteria.

Seeing that Xia Yi didn't seem inclined to try to dissuade them, Zhang Zhe could only let them be.

After seeing Xia's mother off to the car, Xia Yi stood at the entrance of the matchmaking agency, looking in the direction her mother had left, and suddenly chuckled.

She patted Zhang Zhe on the shoulder:

"You're not actually afraid of retribution for matchmaking, so you're trying to persuade people to divorce to mediate, are you?"

"How could that be? You actually believe that?"

"I really think it's possible."

“Actually, I hadn’t thought about this before yesterday.” Zhang Zhe couldn’t help but laugh. “But I think a matchmaker like me doesn’t need to worry about this kind of thing.”

"Because the number of couples I've brought together is very small, you can count them on one hand, but the number of couples I've advised to break up or divorce is probably much larger."

"Who said that?" Xia Yi shook her head: "You're awesome."

"Lanlan, do you remember? She and her blind date have already met each other's parents."

"If all goes well, we'll get married before the new year."

"She said it was all because you helped her analyze the situation; otherwise, she would have been persuaded by her colleagues to block the man long ago."

"Who is she with? The guy who insisted on splitting the bill last time?"

“Yes,” Xia Yi nodded and said, “Don’t let that guy’s preference for splitting the bill fool you, his mother is incredibly generous. She gave her a gold bracelet as an engagement gift on their first meeting.” “I heard from my colleagues that that gold bracelet was worth half a year’s salary for Lanlan.”

"..." Zhang Zhe was slightly speechless: "That's really quite generous. Her return on investment is a bit too high."

Who would have thought that a guy who insisted on going on a blind date and split the bill would be thrown out by his own mother the moment she appeared?

Now my female colleague Lanlan is happy. Women can deceive themselves. Once they taste great sweetness, they will think that the hardships they suffered before were just tests.

"So Lanlan told me that you are a really good matchmaker, and that she would invite you to dinner after she gets married."

“No need for a meal. If she’s so kind, she can spend 20 yuan to send me a banner.” Zhang Zhe said to Xia Yi, “I don’t need a meal or two, but I really need a banner.”

“Okay, I’ll call her when we’re eating later and tell her. If she doesn’t believe me, you can be a witness.”

"Okay, then I'll buy a few nails on my way back later, so I can hang the banner."

What Xia Yi said was the second best piece of good news Zhang Zhe had encountered today.

The best news, of course, was that I met Xia's mother and finally completed this stage of the system's mission.

During his lunch break, while Xia Yi was asleep, he took a good look at the system information:

[Congratulations on completing this stage of the task. Your blind date has approved of you and introduced you to her parents.]

[Reward: 500 Happiness Points]

[Unlock new item: Stealing Love Powder]

Points required for redemption: 50 points

[Item Description: Legend has it that the most skilled flower thief steals not people, but hearts. The Love-Stealing Powder is a elixir meticulously crafted by a veteran in the industry. After use, it can amplify all the user's senses and double the sensations for a short period of time (due to legal risks, it is recommended to use it only between spouses)]

[Number of redemptions: Unlimited]

After reading it, Zhang Zhe remained silent for a full three seconds.

All I can say is that it is indeed a very useful elixir; the person who developed it is quite something.

Zhang Zhe even instantly thought of the ingenious use of this thing.

Can it cure frigidity? No, no, no, that's just a minor trick.

If this thing were used on a skilled interrogator who understands micro-expressions, it would enhance his perceptive abilities, instantly transforming him into a superhuman detective.

The only pity is that the effect of this thing only lasts for 15 minutes. Perhaps the predecessor who developed this pill had limited ability. 15 minutes was already an extraordinary performance for him.

Zhang Zhe glanced at his balance:
Current Happiness Points Balance: 788

There are so many, we can hardly use them all.

Without thinking much, he changed to a body-strengthening pill and gave it to Xia Yi while she was sleeping. If she woke up later and felt any changes in her body, Zhang Zhe could explain that he had secretly cleansed her marrow and essence.

The remaining pills are not suitable for immediate use; they can only be used when the relationship between the two has progressed further.

Fortunately, the system's next task is also very simple:
A good marriage requires the approval of both sets of parents. Please continue to foster the relationship, introduce your blind date to your parents, and earn their heartfelt approval.

Complete this stage of the mission to receive 500 Happiness Points and unlock new items.

Even if the system doesn't require it, Zhang Zhe's next step is still to take Xia Yi home.

As for getting his parents to accept Xia Yi, that would be too easy. Zhang Zhe suspected that his parents had already investigated the Xia family's background and Xia Yi's life story quite thoroughly.
