Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 307 Still Not Grown Up
"I understand. Let me explain your thinking, and you can see if I'm right."

“You’ve dated rich kids before, so you think you’re competitive. But the rich kids you dated weren’t generous with their money, so you want to find a self-made millionaire.”

"But unfortunately, no self-made rich people in our city would want you, so you decided to go to a big city to look for someone."

"Right?"

“No,” Ms. Shi corrected, “It’s not that no self-made millionaires would be interested in me; it’s that I simply don’t consider local self-made millionaires.”

"They're all not very good."

"How did you come to this conclusion that it's not going to work?" Zhang Zhe couldn't help but ask, "Because I know quite a few self-made millionaires who earn millions a year, some are single and some are divorced, and they're pretty good people."

"I heard it from many local girls on Xiaohongshu who shared their blind date experiences. Some of them were tricked into marriage by rich first-generation heirs, and others had whirlwind marriages and divorces."

"Little Sweet Potato? Then it must be true." Zhang Zhe nodded, covered his mouth, and tried his best to think of something sad.

Otherwise, I'll burst out laughing again.

It wasn't until he thought about how his CS inventory had dropped by half a few days ago that he finally stopped laughing.

Xia Yi leaned over and whispered a reminder: "Don't try to hide anything in your words. I feel like she doesn't understand your subtext. She really believes what's on Xiaohongshu."

Zhang Zhe nodded slightly and squeezed Xia Yi's hand to show that he understood.

“Teacher Shi, in our local Qing City, there are many girls with similar conditions to you. When they go on blind dates and get married, most of them find office workers with an annual salary of around 10 yuan.”

"Some women with particularly good personalities can find men who work within the system."

"I have never seen a self-made millionaire who has married a female teacher from a rural family with many children."

“I know that,” Ms. Shi nodded immediately. “That’s why I said local boys won’t do.”

"Okay, your logic is complete."

"But if you go to a big city, without a government job or family background, and you only have a bachelor's degree, what will you rely on to attract a guy who earns millions a year?"

"Don't tell me it's because of your looks. Even if you're considered a beauty in Qing City, you'd just be an ordinary person in Shenghai."

“That’s what I’m worried about right now.” Ms. Shi nodded. “So I have two options now. One is to stay in Qing City, but I want to know from you matchmakers what my limits are locally.”

"Another option is to study abroad, either while studying abroad or after returning to China, and find a first-generation entrepreneur."

"I am actually more inclined to the second path at the moment, because after doing some research online, I found that girls like me with a government job are already very outstanding."

"If you have a higher degree and more 'prestige,' then first-generation entrepreneurs will want to find someone like me."

"Did you learn this on Xiaohongshu too?" Zhang Zhe asked in surprise.

Because it sounds like the internet this girl uses is different from what he usually encounters.

It's 2025 now. Only those international students with real abilities can truly "gild" their resumes; those without are just going abroad to spend money.

"These aren't sweet potatoes; they're dating tips from a marriage expert."

"The expert you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be the cricket guru, would you?" Xia Yi suddenly asked from the side, "You bought her courses?"

"Yes, Wang the matchmaker, you know about crickets too."

"I'm not Wang the matchmaker, Wang the matchmaker is in the hospital..." Xia Yi explained weakly, then whispered in Zhang Ge's ear whose class this girl was taking.

"Cricket Master" is a blogger who specializes in selling tutorials on how to find a rich man to marry online. It is said that his 9.9 yuan courses have sold millions of copies. The core content is to teach women in their early 20s how to find a rich man to marry.

In addition to the tutorials, you can also choose to pay a membership fee of 20 yuan to join her membership group and learn one-on-one how to swindle rich people.

Xia Yi said that this blogger has a very interesting point: during her lectures, she kept emphasizing that her courses are not suitable for the lower-tier market.

What does this mean? Basically, it means that ordinary people shouldn't try this. Girls who aren't good-looking, don't have a great figure, and don't know how to charm men shouldn't even think about becoming gold diggers. The problem is, how many young women are truly aware that they're in a lower-tier market?
It's important to know that 90% of women in China are in the top 10% of terms of appearance, leaving only the average 10% of women.

After listening to Xia Yi's explanation, Zhang Zhe instantly understood the situation of Teacher Shi in front of him.

She's a girl from a rural family, and she most likely got into teacher's college on her own merit and eventually got a permanent position, so she must think she's very capable.

She believed she could be a good "gold digger".

Teacher Wang probably didn't know about this, so when he heard the girl say that she didn't like rich second-generation heirs and wanted to find a self-made entrepreneur who earns millions a year, he already wanted to roll his eyes.

"Teacher Shi, if you're talking about the upper limit of a person's choice of spouse, then it's true that the upper limit is higher for those who have studied abroad and go to Shenghai."

"If you stay in Qing City as an art teacher, like I just said, the ideal image of your other half is a guy working in the system, and you have to be able to provide emotional value."

“I understand.” The girl nodded. “I know how to provide emotional value. I’ve learned that. That’s why those rich second-generation guys pursue me.”

"In that case, I'll have to push myself to the limit. I don't even look at guys working in the system."

To put it another way, she said that she had already managed to get the rich second-generation in Qing City under her thumb by actively flirting with men. As for whether she really got them under her thumb or if it was all for free, nobody knows.

Since that's the case anyway, why not try to get a hold of Sheng Hai's self-made millionaire?

It can only be said that the wealthy people in Shenghai now have the opportunity to use free tickets.

After the girl left, Xia Yi nudged Zhang Zhe and asked him, "Do you think this girl looks like Wang Manni? She's the one played by Jiang Shuying who looked down on Wang Zijian and insisted on hooking up with a rich guy in Shenghai."

"You're insulting Jiang Shuying. She's not that ugly."

"I said it's similar, not comparable." Xia Yi pouted and said in confusion, "How could any girl actually believe what the Cricket Cult Leader says? She's a teacher, you know."

“Everyone here today is a teacher,” Zhang Zhe replied while drinking water. “She’s after the rich guys in Shenghai. The boys in our Qing City can breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she could easily use her gold digger tactics to take advantage of the honest local boys.”

"Moreover, a new position has become available, which is good for local girls who want to take the civil service exam."

"These are all good things."

“That’s right.” Xia Yi laughed after hearing Zhang Zhe’s analysis, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was all beneficial.

“That’s not all,” Zhang Zhe continued, “Her studying abroad also benefits study abroad agencies and airlines, contributing to society. You should learn from that.”

"Haha, Zhang Zhe, what you said is really interesting."

While Zhang Zhe and his companion were chatting and laughing, an elderly woman dressed in very old-fashioned clothes with gray hair quietly sat down opposite Zhang Zhe, leaning on the table for support.

"Hello." Zhang Zhe asked curiously, "Are you looking for a partner for yourself, or are you seeking advice for your children?"

"I'm already 63, do you think I'm looking for a job?" The middle-aged woman smiled, and seemed to have a good temper.

Zhang Zhe smiled and shook his head: "If you hadn't told me your age, I would never have guessed you were sixty. Anyone who didn't know would have thought you were only in your early forties."

How old is your child?

"She was born in 1985 and is an English teacher at No. 1 Middle School."

"Are you single or divorced?" Zhang Zhe saw that the older woman didn't have any documents, so he had to ask her himself.

"Never been married."

"What was the reason? Was it because you didn't want to get married, or because your long-term relationship didn't end in marriage?"

"I think maybe she's just not grown up yet," the woman sighed. "She's still a child and has absolutely no desire to get married."
