Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 8 The Matchmaker's Overbearing Hand

The next evening.

To ensure he looked his best during the live stream, Zhang Zhe took an extra nap.

After waking up, it was soon time for the arranged blind date.

It was still in yesterday's live stream.

Li Erniang was very particular. She first introduced Zhang Zhe's basic information in the live broadcast room, and only after the introduction did she make a special WeChat call to invite Zhang Zhe to join the live broadcast.

Zhang Zhe didn't hesitate and turned on the camera with great enthusiasm: "Good evening, Second Aunt."

"Hey, handsome." Li Erniang greeted him, and then probably said to the viewers in the live stream, "This is the young man you guys were talking about yesterday, the one we were going to do a second live stream with."

"30 years old, single and unmarried."

"Where are those of you who were clamoring to go on mic yesterday? Come on, let me see your sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhe saw a carnival icon appear in the live stream.

This is a very valuable gift on Douyin.

It's the kind of valuable item you can give to a female streamer and get some mysterious reward for it.

Zhang Zhe thought to himself: Could this person who sent the gift be after me?
"Thanks to my sister Qianqian for the carnival. Come on, sister Qianqian, get on the mic!"

Li Erniang clearly recognized the account that had been used to spend money on the carnival. After thanking Zhang Zhe for the gift, she explained the situation to him:
"This is a well-known local female entrepreneur."

"You can just call her Sister Qian."

"Oh, okay." Zhang Zhe nodded, glanced at the comments, and wanted to know what was going on.

Sure enough, some veteran viewers in the live chat revealed some information:
【Why is it another old woman?】

I wonder if this guy likes rich women. If he does, he's in for a treat.

I like these wealthy older women; they give you money and treat you well.

So, Sister Qianqian likes this kind of pretty boy.

It seems that this wealthy woman, known as Sister Qianqian, is a regular guest on the live stream.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Zhang Zhe's heart.

What decent person would be a regular guest on a matchmaking livestream?

As far as he knew, it could only be the kind of person who specialized in short-term dating.

"Short-term choice" is a common term nowadays, in contrast to "long-term choice," referring to men and women who choose a short-term romantic relationship without making long-term plans.

To put it more bluntly, it's about finding a short-term casual sex partner.

It's just disguised as a romantic relationship; compared to a typical one-night stand, it has the romance, passion, and hormones of a romantic relationship.

But there is absolutely no marriage.

Zhang Zhe had a clear understanding of himself; he knew that his stamina couldn't withstand the steel wool from the rich woman, so this Sister Qianqian was not on his side.

"Second Aunt," Zhang Zhe reminded her, "I'm here for a blind date."

"I'm not here to find a short-term relationship."

"I'm here for a blind date too." The woman called Sister Qianqian came on the microphone and replied to Zhang Zhe in a somewhat coquettish voice: "The reason I paid to come on the microphone is because you look like my first love."

First love? That's ridiculous.
Just as Zhang Zhe was about to raise a question, he suddenly noticed the familiar red exclamation mark appear.

However, what appeared was not intelligence.

【warn! 】

[Your current blind date, Tang Qianqian, has ulterior motives and has no intention of getting married. She only sees you as a source of amusement. Please remain rational and do not be tempted by the conditions she offers.]

[If the host decides to be a kept man, the system can switch to "Kept Man Mode" to help you find high-quality kept men.]

Should we switch immediately?

"Change my ass!" Zhang Zhe almost laughed out of anger at his own system.

He knew his own limitations very well; you really can't live off a woman without some talent.

"Handsome, didn't you say yesterday that you didn't have a wedding house?"

“I own three houses, all in the city center. If we're dating, we can switch between them.”

"I also have cars, Mercedes, BMW, Tesla, which brand do you prefer?" Every word Qianqian said was very tempting.

But this woman was actually very shrewd; she was only showing off her own advantages, but never mentioned her requirements for Zhang Zhe.

If I actually go, I might get a gag in my mouth.

"Sister, I'm not interested in what you're saying. I feel like we're not a good match. Why don't you talk to someone else?"

If Zhang Zhe hadn't been looking forward to the upcoming blind dates, he would have ended the call immediately. This woman is truly perverted.

I almost caused my own system to mutate.

"No, if you're not interested in cars and houses."

“We can also start a small business together. I'll provide the capital, and we'll split the profits 50/50…”

[Is Sister Qianqian really finding that feeling of first love again?]

This woman is really crazy.

Based on my understanding of this guy, he has very sound values ​​and probably won't agree.

"No need, no need." Zhang Zhe shook his head firmly: "We are not meant to be."

"Matchmaker, could you please let this lady go offline? Or should I go offline?"

Upon hearing that Zhang Zhe wanted to leave the microphone, Li Erniang finally reacted. She stopped letting Qianqian continue her madness, persuaded her for a few words, and then carried her off the microphone.

Then, just like before, they asked who else in the live stream wanted to join the chat.

Soon they received another gift.

The person speaking on the microphone this time was a woman named Ms. Liu.

……

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhe turned off his phone and lay down on the bed, feeling somewhat depressed.

Recalling what had just happened, he was still shaken.

Where did Li Erniang find all those monsters and demons in her live stream?

The first one, Sister Qianqian, is a small business owner who came looking for a gigolo;
The second person, Ms. Liu, is the deputy general manager of a state-owned company. She wants to find an honest husband for her daughter, who has just given birth to her grandson and is still in postpartum confinement.

The third one is Sister Wang, a clothing store manager. She is divorced and has a fourteen-year-old child. She is interested in Zhang Zhe because she thinks he can tutor her son to get into the top high school in the city.
The fourth woman, Ms. Sun, was the most outrageous. She was willing to pay for a house to buy together with Zhang Zhe as a wedding home, but only if it was a property she specified.

System intelligence indicates that she has already used the same method to trick six men into buying apartments in the same development she was selling.

Yes, she is a real estate agent.

Zhang Zhe couldn't take it anymore and ran away without even saying goodbye to Li Erniang.

I've only ever heard of families with children or newlywed couples becoming targets for businesses to exploit.
I've never heard of so many people eyeing a single man on a blind date?
After working so hard for so long, Zhang Zhe only gained 1 happiness point.

This was given to me by Sister Wang, who was with her child.

They really did come here for a blind date, but they didn't find anyone suitable.

The remaining three—one who's just playing around, one who's making wishes, and one who's scamming people—are not normal people.

"Brothers, why do I feel like I'm being controlled by the matchmaker when I go on blind dates?"

"Sigh, capitalism."

Zhang Zhe couldn't help but complain in his friends' group chat:

"Is there any way to quickly go on blind dates with many people while ensuring that the partners are sincere and filtering out those with ulterior motives?"

Replies came quickly in the group:

"Bro, are you making a wish here with us?"

"That's how matchmakers are these days, just like intermediaries."

"Go to Kaifeng and find Wang Po, or go on If You Are the One and state your conditions on stage."

Zhang Zhe thought the idea of ​​"If You Are the One" was good.

But getting on TV is still too slow.

I spent half a month preparing for this, just for a dozen or so female guests. The total number of photos taken at once was only a dozen or so.

If that's the case, why not create your own live-streamed version of "If You Are the One"?
He was the only male guest, and different women came to the live stream to ask him out on blind dates.

They don't necessarily have to be attracted to each other; just editing out the blind date process is like advertising for themselves.

Zhang Zhe thought about it more and more and felt it was a good idea.

He described his thoughts in the group chat.

"Bro, are you cosplaying? Are you cosplaying all sorts of blind date guys?"

"Yes, yes, it feels like a matchmaker speaking in the first person."

"The idea is indeed good, but why should people come to your live stream? Are you going to pay them? But if they pay, what if the people who come have ulterior motives?"
