Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 74: A Small Display of Fist Technique

"If I don't have height requirements and only require a bachelor's degree from a 211 university, would it be easier to find a job?"

"Actually, it doesn't have to be a handsome guy, as long as he looks similar to you, the streamer."

"?" Zhang Zhe was about to answer, thinking that the other party lowering the conditions meant there was still hope, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why does it feel like they're targeting him?
He immediately changed his prepared statement: "This will slightly increase the chances, but it's not guaranteed."

"So even if I lower my standards like this, it still won't work?"

"It's a little better than before."

“No, I don’t think that’s right,” the girl objected. “I think a girl shouldn’t lower her standards as long as she has enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation.”

"As women, we cannot keep compromising our standards just because of the pressure from reality or the external environment, such as the pressure to get married at a certain age or the pressure from our family."

"Because everyone knows that there are many single men who can't get married these days, but as long as a woman is willing to marry him, she will definitely be able to get married."

[Are you already making appeals? Sisters?]

You've come to the wrong place. This isn't Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) or a stand-up comedy show.

[That's all nonsense. If guys lowered their standards, they could all get married. Fan Bingbing could find Ma Yun, and Cheng could have several children.]

Oh, so you're here to practice your boxing.

Zhang Zhe had been waiting for a long time, and finally it happened.

This older sister is indeed somewhat skilled in boxing.

In fact, you can tell whether someone is discussing the matter at hand or just mindlessly practicing boxing by listening to the subject of their speech.

A normal person would say "I", but this woman said "we women".

Zhang Zhe wouldn't tolerate this kind of person; Little Red Book's sponsor had told him not to be polite.
“If you’re going to talk, just talk about yourself. Don’t keep saying things like ‘as a woman,’ that has nothing to do with your gender. Even if it were a man, it would be unreasonable to make that kind of request.”

"The reality is: if you want to get married, you have to lower your standards."

"What if I'm not willing to lower my standards?" the woman retorted stubbornly. "Why would I choose someone short or with a low level of education to lower the quality of my genes?"

"Then don't get married," Zhang Zhe said with a shrug. "Aren't there plenty of people who don't get married these days?"

"Your most urgent task is not blind dates, but to figure out whether marriage is a necessity for you. If not, then don't come to the blind date market and act crazy."

"Really, everyone has their own difficulties."

"If a guy is matched with you and thinks you want to get married, and tries to reason with you, but you say, 'Sorry, marrying you would lower my genetic quality,' then he's really in big trouble."

That's absolutely right.

Indeed, you can do whatever you want as a person, just don't go out and cause trouble for others.

If someone I was on a blind date with talked to me like that, I really wouldn't be able to resist the urge to hit them.

"No, no, no, Brother Zhang, you've misunderstood me."

"What I'm trying to say is that the current matchmaking market is problematic; it's forcing each of us to compromise our compatibility with those less fortunate..."

"I understand. You want to get involved and change this market?"

"I have this idea."

Are you in Qingdao?

"No, I'm in Lin'an."

“That’s fine.” Zhang Zhe nodded. “Go ahead and give it a try. I also think the matchmaking market is bad right now. Why should I tell a matchmaker that I want to find someone like Gao Yuanyuan, and she asks me if I’m still asleep?”

"A good market should be inclusive of everything, but now it's clearly not leaving any way for perfectionists like us to survive."

“Yes.” The woman actually thought Zhang Zhe’s words made sense: “I think so too.”

"Yeah, good luck."

Zhang Zhe thought it was a good thing for the girl to go to the matchmaking market.

She has high standards, which makes the matchmakers who work with her suffer. But the good news is that the girl comes from a wealthy family, so if they're going to make money off her, they have to put up with her attitude. It's not a big deal for professional matchmakers.

As long as I don't run into her in real life, it'll be fine. This girl just mentioned her lowered standards, which sound exactly like what Zhang Zhe said, so I still need to confirm if she's in Qing City.

[Brother Zhang, why did you put this kind of woman in the matchmaking market?]

"The comments are giving me too much credit. I'm not the Demon Locking Tower. If they want to regulate the matchmaking market, there's nothing I can do."

Oh no, I'm really in Lin'an!

"It doesn't matter if you're in Lin'an. This girl only looks at handsome guys who are over 178cm tall and A8 level, and they can't be college graduates. If you meet these conditions and still end up on a blind date with her, then I can only wish you a long and happy marriage."

[Haha, there are probably only a handful of men like this in the entire Lin'an City, right?]

[Luckily, I have a junior college diploma; this is the safest episode for junior college students.]

Thank goodness I don't have an Audi A8. It seems that if you don't have money, you won't be taken advantage of by gold diggers.

……

The matchmaking agency closed at 7 p.m.

But the lights in Zhang Zhe's live stream room were still on. He was lying on a chair, playing games while waiting to meet Xia Yi.

Soon after, a new message popped up on WeChat:

I have arrived.
[Ms. Zhang, are you off work yet? I saw that your matchmaking agency is closed.]
The door was closed? Zhang Zhe suddenly had a bad feeling.

When he went to see Boss He, the other party seemed busy. He agreed verbally, but perhaps he didn't actually listen.

And then...they locked him in the company?

The door handle is locked from the outside with a U-lock, so there's no way to lock it from the inside.

Zhang Zhe quickly got up, ran to the door, turned on the light, and looked in the direction of the gate.

Sure enough, the door was locked.

"Mr. He, don't cause trouble! I'm on a blind date!"

Zhang Zhe muttered a complaint under his breath.

He asked through the door, "Miss Xia, are you outside? I'm Zhang Zhe."

"Yes, I'm here."

"It looks like your door is locked from the outside." Xia Yi chuckled softly. "Teacher Zhang, you didn't lock yourself in, did you?"

"That's how it is for now," Zhang Zhe said with a wry smile.

"So what do we do now? Do you have a way to get out?"

"There should be one. Please wait a moment while I contact the owner and ask her to open the door."

Zhang Zhe quickly sent a WeChat message for help. Boss He replied promptly, saying that she was on a business trip and would not be back until tomorrow.

Tell him to find a locksmith directly, and he can get reimbursed by the finance department for the locksmith's fee later.

Zhang Zhe could barely accept this proposal.

He quickly searched online for a locksmith's contact information.

"Miss Xia, the locksmith I found will take half an hour to arrive. Are you free? If not, you can go back now."

"I have time. It's only half an hour, it'll be quick."

"I'll sit on the steps by the door and wait." Xia Yi found a step, wiped it clean, and sat down.

There are often people sitting and waiting outside the matchmaking agency, but this is the first time I've seen people so late.

"Okay, I'm really sorry." Zhang Zhe also moved a stool and sat down by the door, the two of them separated by a door.

"Teacher Zhang, are you busy right now?"

"Not busy, not busy."

"How about we chat through the door, like in the confessional of a priest in a church? I happen to have a question about marriage to ask you."
