Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 83 The Life of the Rich
"This matchmaker is pretty good." After watching Zhang Zhe's live stream for fifteen minutes, Xia's father concluded: "It's rare. He didn't just express his emotions; he was genuinely giving advice to the girl."

"And these are all highly feasible suggestions."

"Don't other matchmakers do this?" Xia's mother asked from the side.

"Of course not." Xia's father said somewhat unhappily, "Some matchmakers these days only want to do business with rich people. They tend to ignore inquiries from ordinary girls like me."

"Or they'll subtly hint to the other party to pay money."

“A few days ago, a woman in our city reported to the police that she had been cheated out of more than 3 yuan by a matchmaking agency. It turned out that the men she went on blind dates with were all actors. If the actors hadn’t gone off to act in short dramas, she wouldn’t have found out.”

Xia's mother frowned upon hearing this: "That's just too immoral."

"Now that you mention it, Teacher Zhang is indeed quite good. Although he's a bit young, he certainly doesn't have the wickedness of those old matchmakers."

"Then can I go on a blind date with him?" Xia Yi asked quickly.

Her idea was to find Zhang Zhe and go on a blind date with him.

However, her parents automatically filled in the missing part, making it "ask him to help me arrange blind dates with other people".

"Okay, let's go find him first."

"How much money do you need? Do you have enough?"

"You want money back?" Xia Yi asked, a little confused. "Isn't a blind date just about meeting in person?"

"That was before."

“It just so happens that someone in our workplace did a survey on this topic,” Xia’s father explained to his daughter. “In the past, when it came to blind dates, it was true that the woman only needed to register, and the man had to pay to arrange a meeting with her.”

"Places like Jiayuan.com used to operate this way."

"Find some rich and beautiful women, put their information online, and then trick male customers into becoming members and paying for blind dates."

"But this trick doesn't work anymore. Men have become smarter. Many of them don't get married and just play their stupid games all day. Getting them to spend money is out of the question."

"So now it's the girls who are spending the money."

"Some matchmakers even try to profit from both sides."

"Oh, I see." Xia Yi nodded. She knew her parents had misunderstood and thought she had gone to Zhang Zhe to ask Teacher Zhang to introduce her to a potential partner.

However, she didn't want to explain, because if she didn't get along with Zhang Zhe, she did plan to ask Teacher Zhang to introduce her to a blind date.

"I have money. If I need more, I'll ask you for more."

"Alright, go on those blind dates carefully, and keep your eyes open." Mr. Xia patted his daughter's shoulder earnestly, the old father feeling both gratified and sentimental.

My daughter has already gone on blind dates, so I guess she won't be far from getting married.

In contrast, Xia's mother was more practical. She quietly pulled her daughter aside and asked her:

"You've started going on blind dates, can you tell me the truth?"

What kind of person are you looking for?

"I don't know either." Xia Yi shook her head. She really hadn't figured it out. She was hoping to get some answers from talking to Zhang Zhe. "Mom, what do you think?"

"I think you'd better not look for someone within the system."

"We only need your dad as our leader. If we have another one, then I'll really feel like I'm going to get off work every time I get off work."

“Okay, Mom, you married into a government company, you have experience, I’ll listen to you.”

"If you're going to look for someone, find someone who treats you well, someone who's rich, but not too rich." Xia's mother had already thought it through for her daughter: "You're different from me. You've never suffered since you were little. You definitely wouldn't be able to handle washing clothes and cooking after you get married."

"So I have to find someone rich."

"But you can't be too rich. If you're too rich, even your father's status won't be enough to keep him in check, and then there's no way to guarantee that you won't be bullied in your husband's family."

"I understand, you mean I should find a small business owner?"

"Yeah, pretty much, but he can't be a nouveau riche. He has to be cultured, so that we'll at least have something in common to talk about during holidays."

"Ah~" Xia Yi scratched her head: "Mom, you have so many demands." "What do you know? I've been thinking about these things for years, and I haven't finished yet."

"Anything else? No, let me look for something based on these two conditions you mentioned first."

"Even that might not be found."

Xia Yi looked somewhat troubled. She remembered that Zhang Zhe seemed to work at a matchmaking agency, not as a small business owner.

Wasn't this filtered out by my mom's criteria?

But she had already agreed to go on a blind date with him.

……

Time flies and it's the weekend.

Zhang Zhe and Xia Yi agreed to meet at one of the most expensive restaurants in Qing City, a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant.

It's said that the price per person here starts at 2000 yuan, and the food consists of fresh ingredients air-freighted in, including sea cucumber, tuna, Arctic surf clam, and other seafood.

Zhang Zhe found it on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book).

He believed that girls who wanted to pretend to be socialites wouldn't lie.

Before entering, looking at the understated yet luxurious and high-class decor, Xia Yi whispered to Zhang Zhe, "The things in this store must be very expensive, right? I saw that girl who just left was carrying an LV bag."

"How about we go somewhere else? I know a teahouse here..."

"It's alright, it's alright, this is fine." Zhang Zhe looked at Xia Yi with a smile.

Today, Miss Xia is wearing light makeup. Her oval face is paired with light pink lip gloss, and her eyelashes flutter as she speaks.

A light blue floral maxi dress paired with a white shirt, the waist perfectly cinched.

They all fell into Zhang Zhe's aesthetic trap.

The system's judgment was indeed accurate.

Zhang Zhe himself didn't dress up much. When it comes to men going on blind dates, being clean and tidy is already a big plus.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

"We're finally having a decent meal today." Xia Yi chuckled. "I've never been to such a nice restaurant before, mainly because my dad wouldn't allow it."

"Actually, I've never been here before."

"Come on, let's experience the life of the rich."

Zhang Zhe knew why Xia Yi hadn't come: her father needed to consider his conduct, otherwise, if someone took a picture and reported him, he'd be finished.

As for himself, he didn't come because he was poor.

If it weren't for the system's requirements, even if he were making some money as a matchmaker now, he wouldn't come here to spend money.

Upon entering the store, a waiter dressed in a suit immediately greeted me.

The restaurant assigns a server to each table to serve and explain the food one-on-one. Zhang Zhe had done his research, so he asked the server to arrange a seat suitable for chatting.

While waiting for the food to be served, Xia Yi quietly gestured to Zhang Zhe, signaling him to reach out.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhe reached out his hand, and the other person handed him a folded piece of paper, which, when unfolded, revealed dense lines of text.

The titles of these words are:
Ms. Wang Xuemei’s basic requirements for Ms. Xia Yi’s blind date.

Xia Yi ultimately couldn't fight against her mother's demands and was forced to listen to the conditions her mother had spent years devising.

But listening doesn't mean you've truly internalized it.

“These are all conditions that my mother listed.”

"Could you help me figure out which parts are unrealistic and which are meaningless?"
