Chapter 28 Earth Ranking Masters
"Won't this situation affect the reputation of our matchmaking agency at all? Do you have any public relations skills?" Zhang Zhe asked curiously.

He paid a little attention when he went out during the day, and based on what he saw when he went out to get water, the main clientele of Zhiyin Marriage Agency was women.

In fact, the same applies to the entire matchmaking market.

While there are indeed more single young men in terms of population size, the women who are truly active in the matchmaking market, or those who are willing to spend money on matchmaking, are still the majority.

At Zhiyin Matchmaking Agency, this ratio reached an astonishing 1:18.

If distributed proportionally, each man on a blind date can be matched with 18 women.

With such a large disparity in numbers, wouldn't it be devastating for a matchmaker to be accused of "sucking up to men"?
"It did have some impact," Mr. He said earnestly, sharing his experience. "In the beginning, people would often be chatting and suddenly ask me: 'Aunt He, is that heartless matchmaker they're talking about on Xiaohongshu?'"

"I was a little embarrassed at first."

"The answer was yes, it was me, but I have a conscience."

"But over time, I found that when women who were really looking for a partner found out that I had been rejected by XXN, their first reaction was that I had very good resources."

"When the men who came to me for blind dates learned about my experience, they immediately believed in me wholeheartedly."

"If I really encounter someone who treats Xiaohongshu like a bible, I won't take their money. Sometimes I'll even give them free advice and ask them to help me climb the Xiaohongshu rankings."

Boss He's words made Zhang Zhe exclaim "Holy crap!"

Could it really have such an unexpected effect?

He put himself in the shoes of the men on blind dates and could understand their choices.

If someone gets attacked by XXN for telling the truth, then adhering to the principle that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," I should help them out even if I don't have money.

But those women actually thought that such matchmaker resources were good? This was something Zhang Zhe hadn't expected.

The key is that they felt it was right, which is outrageous.

Mr. He told Zhang Zhe that Zhiyin Marriage Agency had a high-end matchmaking event where men had to have assets of 5000 million yuan to enter, and that verification of funds was required for entry.

This kind of event is always packed, and even men have to wait in line to participate.

It's easy to imagine that the resources here are indeed very abundant.

For women who want to marry a rich man, this is simply paradise.

"Matchmakers here don't consider being on the bounty list a big problem. What matchmakers fear most is not being scolded, but being completely unknown."

"However, someone like you, Xiao Zhang, who made it onto the list on the very first day, can be considered exceptionally talented."

"Haha." Zhang Zhe laughed a little embarrassedly: "It's not a talent, I just love to tell the truth. The truth is usually not very pleasant to hear, and then they get anxious."

"It's okay, it's okay, just do it at your own pace."

"I have only one request."

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Zhe wanted to hear what this old lady was finally going to say after all this build-up.

"You know, when you're rating a girl's appearance on your live stream in the future, please don't give her a score of one."

“I know it’s difficult. Some fat girls are indeed uglier than Sister Feng, but we have cases here where people sued us because the scores were too low.”

"The lawsuit isn't over yet."

"Thank you for the reminder, boss." Zhang Zhe nodded, clearly pleased. Sure enough, every unspoken rule in the industry has a bloody lesson behind it.

For matchmakers, time is money. Both parties in a blind date need to constantly try and fail to find a partner, and the matchmaker naturally has to waste time with them.

If you get embroiled in a defamation lawsuit at this time, the losses could be enormous.

Behind Boss He's warning, Zhang Zhe felt he understood the implication:
Why did the older woman only say not to give low scores?
Because even a single point can lead to a lawsuit for "defamation".

But this also means that as long as he doesn't receive insulting scores, Zhang Zhe can say whatever he wants, and the matchmaking agency can handle it.

Zhang Zhe had a look of sudden realization on his face.

Mr. He was very pleased to see this.

She immediately added Zhang Zhe to the matchmaking agency's group chat and even tagged everyone to tell them his identity:
"Everyone, from now on, Xiao Zhang will be in charge of the internet operations for our matchmaking agency." "He will be responsible for Douyin live streaming and video posting."

"He is also currently live-streaming matchmaking for people. If you have time, please visit his live stream to support him and offer suggestions."

At first, Zhang Zhe thought it was just an ordinary matchmaking group.

But as soon as a member of the group started talking, he realized something was wrong:
[Xiaofan (Rank 23)]: Zhang Zhe? Are you Zhang Zhe from Xianghu Community? Is your mother's surname Wang?

[Shi Chenlu (77th on the Heavenly Ranking)]: Xiao Zhang is amazing! He entered the Earthly Ranking on his first day of internship. It seems that Sister He found the right person.

[Lanzhi (Striving to climb the rankings)]: Welcome, welcome! I'm also a newbie. Let's exchange ideas more in the future.

[Wei Qi (88th on the Earth Ranking)]: I didn't expect the newcomers to catch up with me. Suddenly I feel a sense of crisis.

Zhang Zhe wasn't surprised to be recognized, because his mother and her best friends were incredibly resourceful. At his age, if he wasn't married yet, he must have been approached for marriage hundreds of times.

To his surprise, the people in this group had divided the bounty list into a Heavenly Ranking and an Earthly Ranking, just like a chat group for cultivating immortality.

When I checked the group members, there were about 50 people, and half of them were on the list.

The rest are either competing for rankings or connecting with government agencies and don't need to compete for rankings to become famous.

If Zhang Zhe were a XXN (a derogatory term for someone who is corrupt or ruthless), he would have reported this group immediately, and they would all be dead, not a single one of them would survive.

Unfortunately he is not.

He said a few humble words in the group and accepted the newcomer red envelopes sent by everyone. Zhang Zhe finally completed the group entry ceremony.

Aside from the 100+ yuan in red envelopes, the biggest gain was the promises made by everyone in the group.

Everyone agreed to help recommend the live stream.

Xiaofan, the one who recognized Zhang Zhe first, even promised to help him find a suitable partner and go on a blind date with him in the live stream.

Zhang Zhe recalled that when he worked in Shenzhen, every time he joined a company, the HR would give a brief introduction in the group chat, and then everyone would copy and paste some welcome messages.

In comparison, matchmaking agency groups do feel more human.

It might also be related to the nature of the job. Matchmakers are naturally suited to people with a strong work ethic, so their group chats are never quiet.

……

When Zhang got home, his mother was already cooking.

Seeing Zhang Zhe return, she quickly greeted him, "You've finally decided to come back! I was just about to call you."

"Go take a shower quickly. After dinner, I'll take you on a blind date. This time it's sure to be great; I've found your high school sweetheart."

White Moonlight?
Zhang Zhe was changing his shoes in the entryway when he heard this and froze, leaning against the wall.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy you've gone crazy?" Zhang's mother said with a smug smile, feeling that she had figured out her son's little thoughts.

"No, Mom, do you know who my white moonlight is?" Zhang Zhe shook his head as he changed his shoes. "I'm not going out. I have things to do tonight."

"Isn't it Zhou Ya?"

"?" Zhang Zhe looked shocked. "How did you know?"

"What's so difficult about that? You're a piece of my flesh and blood. What are you thinking? Don't I, as your mother, know that?"

"Your mother asked your high school classmate," Zhang's father revealed the truth from the side.

"Mom?" Zhang Zhe frowned.

"I was worried you wouldn't find someone you like. Don't worry, I've already done the research. Zhou Ya just got divorced last year and doesn't have any children. She hasn't remarried, maybe she's waiting for you?"

"Wait my ass!" Zhang Zhe was so angry he almost laughed. "Are you really my mother?"

"Never mind, I was going to tell you about how my blind date went today, but I don't want to talk about it now."

"Dad, come on, let's go inside, I'll tell you something."
