Chapter 25 Adding to Blind Dates

"System, I think there's something wrong with your reward."

"That woman just gave me only 1 point."

"This is unreasonable!"

“For someone as outrageous as XXN, I went on a blind date with her, and you should pay me extra compensation for emotional distress.”

Zhang Zhe silently complained to himself.

However, the system did not respond.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; Zhang Zhe chose this path himself.

He can also wait for a matchmaker to find him a woman of considerable size, and he can ask the matchmaker to filter out the heavier women first.

Live-streamed matchmaking is definitely a case of having to endure hardship if you don't want to.

"Welcome... [Loves braised pork]."

"Braised pork is high in calories, little sister. Let me ask you first, how much do you weigh?"

"Huh? So direct?" The girl was a little taken aback by Zhang Zhe's words: "I weigh 110 pounds, but I'm 165 cm tall, so I shouldn't be considered fat, because I actually have a pretty good figure."

"Not fat, not fat, sounds very healthy."

Zhang Zhe was also thinking that if the girl weighed more than 150 pounds, he would ask her again: Do you like to play?

Two questions can help you avoid an entire type of person.

This can be considered as gaining experience from blind dates.

"Okay, please introduce yourself first."

"Okay, I was born in 98, so I'm 26 years old this year. I already told you my height and weight."

"Then I hope to find one..."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Zhe gestured for a stop: "Why aren't you following the procedure? You have to state your conditions first, and then tell me what kind of person you're looking for."

“But I think…” the woman explained, “Anyway, you’re going to do business B, so you can put yourself in my shoes first and then listen to my introduction. That way you’ll have a better feel for it.”

What you're saying makes some sense.

"Okay, then tell me, what kind of blind date are you looking for?"

"I hope..." A rustling sound came from the woman's microphone, like someone flipping through a book, probably looking at a cheat sheet, specifically the conditions for the man that she had written down beforehand.

[Anchor, she cheated!]

This girl is quite professional; the fact that she can make a draft shows that she has thought it through carefully.

[Are you sisters really that eager to get married? What's so great about men anyway?]

[They always say in the group chat that they don't want to find a man, but when we connected on voice chat, they were all desperate to get married.]

"The man's age can only be around 35 years old, born in 89 or 90 at the latest."

"My annual income needs to be over 15 yuan, because I live in Changsha, and if my income is not enough, it may not be enough to support my family."

"I have requirements regarding height. I hope you are over 1.78 meters tall and not too short."

"And you can't smoke, that's very important."

"That's all."

"Huh? That's it?" Zhang Zhe looked shocked. "You only have this much to ask for? In my opinion, apart from the height of 178cm being a bit short, the other conditions are not a problem at all in Changsha."

"You're 26, and you're looking for someone 9 years older than you, and all you want is for him to be tall?"

"Young lady, tell me the truth, do you have any serious illness, or have you been divorced twice?"

Zhang Zhe's reaction was genuine; he put himself in the shoes of a "35-year-old, 178cm tall, annually earning 15 yuan, non-smoking single man":

I'm already quite old, and for men over 36, it's basically past the age for blind dates. If I really want to get married, I have to consider women who have been married before.
An income of 15 is definitely not high. If you are focused on making money, this income is considered low at this age. It is definitely not comparable to that of your peers, but it is better than that of a young man who has just entered the workforce.

Not smoking is a minor advantage, but there are very few people who smoke traditional cigarettes these days, and many girls are accepting of Rick;

At 178cm tall, he's considered a small giant in Changsha.

If Zhang Zhe had these qualities, and a 26-year-old woman said she was interested in him and wanted to marry him, his first reaction would be either that she was horribly ugly or that she was trying to scam him out of money.

Surely you can't just suddenly meet your true love when you're 35?
"I don't have any illnesses. Didn't you just say that my height and weight are very healthy?"

“I’ve never been divorced because my parents are a blended family, so I don’t really crave marriage. I just want something more stable.”

"Okay." Zhang Zhe barely understood the other person's thoughts. This must be because their family of origin really influenced their views on marriage and relationships.

Perhaps her stepfather has a low income and likes to smoke, which is why she has a rebellious mentality.

"I have now finalized my terms."

"Tell me about yourself." "Focus on introducing your family situation," Zhang Zhe emphasized.

"The woman's family background is more important to older men."

“I’m 35 years old now. If your family is poor, I definitely won’t consider it, because it’s impossible for me to help your family.”

The host is absolutely right, that's exactly what I think too.

You're 35 and still unmarried; it's good enough if someone's willing to marry you.

I also feel like this woman is doing something wrong.

Daughters from blended families are often resentful; at least one I talked to before was like that.

My parents have been together for many years.

"The family was reunited when I was in elementary school. It's a bit like the children in the TV show 'Home with Kids'. I lived with my mother, and I have a younger brother who lived with my father."

"My father is a civil servant in the province, my mother is an accountant in a state-owned enterprise, and my younger brother works in a major internet company in Guangzhou."

"How is your parents' relationship?" Zhang Zhe interjected, explaining why he asked, "You have a younger brother, which easily makes people think of a 'brother-supporting demon' (a woman who prioritizes her brother's needs over her own)."

"But your younger brother is not related to you by blood, so people may have some illusions about you."

“My brother and I were very close when we were young, but we became just so-so after we grew up and went to school. We only contact each other occasionally during holidays.” The woman’s answer did not detract much from her score: “My brother is already engaged. He earns about 30 yuan a year, so he definitely doesn’t need me to help him.”

What about you? What's your current occupation?

"I might be considered a civil servant now."

"possible?"

Is there still uncertainty about one's career path?
Zhang Zhe thought for a moment and immediately realized: "Are you a dispatched worker?"

"Yes, but I'm working hard to get a permanent position."

"What about your own annual income?"

"It's around 10, but it's very stable."

“Labor dispatch can hardly be considered stable.” Zhang Zhe smiled and shook his head: “It’s just okay for now.”

"You should never include conditions like having a stable salary after you become a full-time employee in your considerations when you go on a blind date."

"Blind dates are about the present; talking about the future is something to consider when you're planning to get married."

"Given your current situation, I don't think your demands are too high."

Does this mean they've taken a liking to it?

[The main thing is that she's 26 and looking for a 35-year-old; it's definitely possible for her to find someone like that.]

Oh no, this woman really is here for a blind date.

Fortunately, the streamer was just simulating a blind date.

"Can I really find someone?" The woman was still a little skeptical: "My friends all say that my family's financial situation is too poor, and if I want to find someone, I can only lower my standards."

"Either I find a divorced woman with children, or I find someone with a lower income than me."

"Who said that? Your best friend?"

"That's it."

"So your best friend is afraid you'll have a good life?" Zhang Zhe said, raising an eyebrow.

“Your family’s financial situation is indeed not very good, but the good news is that your stepfather has a biological son who is very promising and will probably settle down in Guangzhou in the future. Your stepfather’s side will basically have nothing to do with you anymore.”

"Correspondingly, you don't have to worry about your younger brother, which mitigates some of the disadvantages of your family's financial situation, making it a bit better than being a single-parent family."

"But the key is that your requirements are low. At 35, you earn an annual salary of 15 yuan and don't ask for a car or a house. It's obvious that you're someone who can live a decent life."

"Wait a minute, host." The woman seemed to have heard something significant and quickly interrupted, "We definitely need a car and a house, otherwise where will we live after we get married?"

"Are there any requirements regarding the house?" Zhang Zhe frowned.

"No, as long as there's a place to stay, that's fine."

"Okay, let's add one more condition: having an old house left by your parents, or a new house that's currently under mortgage. This is usually something a 35-year-old man can meet."

"He also needs to have a car." The woman quickly added, "I hope he can drive me to and from get off work. It can't be a domestic new energy vehicle, and it can't be a ride-hailing car."

"Then it can't be BYD."

"What other requirements do you have?" Zhang Zhe was a little speechless: "Other people go on blind dates by subtraction, why are you adding things in?"

Are you afraid you'll find it yourself?
