Chapter 315 Demand-Driven

Are you single?

"Yes, I've dated before, but it never led to marriage. We broke up for some strange reasons."

"Some are due to gender incompatibility, some are due to the man's infidelity, and some are due to my own inability to control my emotions..."

"Do you have any candidates now?" Zhang Zhe thought that the three female teachers had come together, and felt that their situations should be similar.

"No, my situation is different from theirs."

"I don't really have any direction, and I haven't even figured out what kind of guy I want to find."

The woman smiled shyly.
"I feel that you, Zhang the Matchmaker, are very direct and realistic. Could you help me analyze this?"

"Okay." Zhang Zhe thought to himself that he thought the girl was more impressive.

She's smart enough to know that when seeking advice, the truth is the most valuable and also the most useful.

So I came back specifically to find him, just to hear the truth.

"Tell me first, why do you want to get married?"

"Because I'm getting old," the female teacher replied. "I'm already 28. If I don't get married now, I won't be able to get married in a couple of years when I'm older."

“This reason… is not sufficient.” Zhang Zhe shook his head and said, “The matchmaking market is very brutal now. If you come to a matchmaking meeting with this reason, you will most likely fail.”

"Why?" the woman asked, puzzled. "Isn't the point of a blind date to find someone who is around the same age, has similar circumstances, and shares similar values?"

"Yes, but you'll definitely be picky. Short, ugly, stingy, poorly educated, from a rural area with many children, parents who are divorced, smokers and drinkers... Which of these shortcomings of a blind date can you accept?"

"I... I don't think I can accept any of them." After saying that, the girl laughed at herself: "Now that you mention it, I feel like my blind date is hopeless."

"Pretty much. You need to first find out your key needs in marriage, and then look for a partner based on that."

"If you have no need for marriage at all, and just feel that you should get married when you reach a certain age, then any flaw will deter you."

"But in reality, look at the married women around you. Do their husbands really have none of these flaws?"

"It seems they do all have flaws..."

Zhang Zhe's words made the woman think.

After a long pause, she shook her head: "I've thought about it, and if it's someone I'm close to, I can accept some of their flaws."

"Drinking is not allowed, but smoking is..."

"You don't need to think about it so meticulously." Seeing that she seemed to be analyzing all the flaws, Zhang Zhe quickly interrupted her: "Your most urgent task right now is to figure out what you're getting married for."

"I got married because I wanted to improve my current life."

"Huh? Can you be more specific? Do you mean a house or a car?"

"A house." This time, the woman answered directly: "I'm saving up to buy a house now. I'm a bit strapped for cash, and I can't afford any expensive electronics."

"I want to marry a guy who owns a house, so I can spend my own money."

"Is this enough? Can we look for more?"

"That's not enough. Your needs aren't enough to motivate you to accept a man's flaws."

"When it comes to housing, you can downgrade your spending. If your boyfriend is slightly dissatisfied with you, you'll think it's better to save up and buy a house yourself."

"That seems to be the case." The female teacher scratched her head and laughed: "Then, matchmaker, what were those girls who asked you to help them with blind dates and ended up getting married looking for?"

"Want to copy the answers?" "Hehe, not copy, just refer to their answers. You told me so I could refer to them."

"Actually, there are very few reasons for the same thing. Many people who look for someone of equal social standing do so to ensure that their family's wealth level does not decline. If someone with an A9 rating marries someone with an A7 rating, then after considering both sides, the family only ends up with an A8.5 rating."

"So A9 wants to find A9."

"Similarly, some people want to escape their original wealth class by marrying a rich man."

"Another reason is emotional needs. When a person feels lonely, they want to find someone to rely on, both financially and emotionally."

"The more specific the needs, the greater the chance of finding a partner. In other words, it means the girl has figured it out."

"Oh, I understand." The woman nodded and looked at Zhang Zhe apologetically: "In that case, I don't really have any strong needs."

“I had some good boyfriends who were well-off, but they had bad tempers and I couldn’t stand them. If I had thought it through and decided to go for their good qualities, it wouldn’t have been so unacceptable.”

"No wonder my colleague got divorced. If you ask her if she regrets it, then cheating is really not a big deal if it's for money."

"It's good that you understand." Zhang Zhe was satisfied with the woman's reaction; she was a smart person.

The woman was quite tactful and stood up, saying, "Thank you, Matchmaker Zhang, but I'll go back and think about it some more."

"Sure, once you've figured it out, you should have an easy time finding someone."

Zhang Zhe didn't actually ask the woman what her conditions were, but given her comprehension skills, plus her decent looks and job, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get married.

Unfortunately, such normal people are still a minority. In the next few hours, the dozen or so teachers who came for consultation were basically there to make wishes.

Two of the female teachers couldn't even accept reality. When Zhang Zhe told them that there wasn't a single boy in Qing City who met their requirements, they retorted that Zhang Zhe had poor resources.

What else can we do but respect and offer our blessings?

By 6 p.m., when the event ended, not only Zhang Zhe himself, but also Xia Yi, who was just watching the show from the sidelines, were exhausted.

"I'm so tired." Xia leaned on Zhang Zhe's shoulder, waiting for the event staff to come and pack up. "I suddenly understand Sister Wang. She was right."

"Running away is shameful, but it's useful."

"It's okay. You have to think of it this way: what we're going through now, Sister Wang went through many times every year before."

"It seems so. No wonder she said she was sick." Xia Yi pinched Zhang Zhe's cheek and asked him, "You won't end up like Sister Wang, will you?"

"Please don't get sick!"

"No, I'm already planning to hire someone to help me share the workload," Zhang Zhe said with a smile. "From now on, I'll focus on online channels and high-end clients, and I'll have my staff handle the ordinary clients."

"So?" Zhang Zhe squeezed Xia Yi's hand and asked, "Do you have anyone suitable to recommend?"

"I do not have it."

"But if Sister Wang is healthy, you can ask her to come."

"Yes, and Sister Wang too." Zhang Zhe almost forgot his most important connection in the industry: if he needed to hire someone, he should ask Teacher Wang.

While we're at this moment, Teacher Wang should still remember that Xia Yi covered for her, so there's a good chance she'll get help from her.

Who knows what will happen when the sun rises tomorrow? What if she forgets?

Zhang Zhe quickly called Teacher Wang.
