Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 85 Joint Trial
"No wonder you wanted to create your own account to show clips from your live streams!" Xia Yi quickly connected Zhang Zhe's idea with his actions in the live stream: "You're building your personal dating brand, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

“I think this is a good idea.” Xia Yi nodded: “Streamers definitely make the most money when they are their own bosses, otherwise they will lose a lot of money when their earnings are split between the guild and the platform.”

"And since you run your own matchmaking agency, you can take on offline events."

“My dad’s workplace once hired a matchmaking agency to organize offline matchmaking events, and the price wasn’t low.”

Xia Yi almost let it slip: she was still referring to her father as an "ordinary civil servant" when introducing him to Zhang Zhe.

"I think so too."

"A 30-year-old programmer only has 5 years left to look for a job, and sooner or later he will be squeezed out by young people who have just graduated from school."

“But it seems like you can work in the matchmaking industry until retirement.” Zhang Zhe practically said that his current job met Xia’s mother’s requirements.

Of course, we can't be that direct, that would be a bit too eager.

People might wonder if there's something wrong with the young man, why he's in such a hurry.

“Of course it’s possible. There’s an old lady downstairs who’s retired but still helps people find partners.” Xia Yi nodded, completely agreeing with Zhang Zhe’s idea.

That concludes our discussion about work.

Zhang Zhe really couldn't do anything about his height; the system hadn't given him any pills for secondary growth.

But blind dates always have to have some flaws, otherwise it becomes a scam.

We'd finished our meal and said our fill of things.

It's time to settle the bill.

Zhang Zhe hesitated for half a second, then decided to ignore the system's task for now and not rush into AA.

He is the master of the system, and it's up to him whether or not to do the task.

Xia Yi hadn't planned to eat at such an expensive restaurant; he was the one who invited her, and they hadn't agreed to split the bill beforehand. It wouldn't be fair to ask her to pay now.

Maybe next time, I'll come to this place again next time.

The system only mentioned the most expensive restaurant in the city, but it didn't specify if it was the first time.
The second time, when Xia Yi had a better idea of ​​what to spend here, Zhang Zhe could then subtly suggest splitting the bill, which would be much more reasonable.

Of course, this decision is based on the premise that both parties clearly have feelings for each other and are certain that there will be another blind date.

Zhang Zhe gestured to the waiter next to him: "Hello, I'd like to settle the bill."

"Okay, sir, here is the bill. Please check it."

"No need to look anymore, can you scan the QR code?"

Zhang Zhe took out his phone, and just as he brought up the QR code to hand it over, he saw Xia Yi reach out and take out a bank card.

He rushed ahead of him and handed it to the waiter: "Pay by card."

"This..." The waiter seemed a little confused.

He had been eavesdropping for a while and knew that the two were there for a blind date.

Isn't it usually the man who pays on blind dates? If the woman offers to pay, it's generally only in one situation: she doesn't want to continue the relationship.

The waiter glanced at Zhang Zhe with some concern.

It's as if it's saying: Dude, don't get excited.

Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; please try again, hero.

Zhang Zhe was a little confused, but Xia Yi quickly covered his mouth and whispered to him, "When I came in, I saw that you can get a discount by swiping your card here."

"It's quite expensive, so every little bit saved counts."

“Okay.” Zhang Zhe hadn’t expected this reason: “Then I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

"No need, no need," Xia Yi shook her head. "You can treat me to dinner next time, won't you?"

"Or are you saying there won't be a next time?"

"If there's no next time, then I won't pay!"

“How could that be? There will definitely be a next time!” Zhang Zhe said decisively.

"Hehe." Hearing this, Xia Yi laughed, even more brightly than before.

She hadn't been on many blind dates, but she knew that happiness was something she had to fight for.

...After returning home that evening, Xia's mother asked Xia Yi about her blind date experience that day.

"Yiyi, how is it? Are you satisfied?"

"I'm quite satisfied, but there's just one thing," Xia Yi said while munching on a pear, clearly not full from the Japanese food: "He's a bit short, only 172cm."

"Only a little over 1.7 meters tall, that's really not tall."

Is he good-looking?

“He’s a bit like Tony Leung, very charming,” Xia Yi recalled. “He’s the kind of guy who, when walking down the street, will occasionally have women turn around and stare at him.”

The value of the title "strong and muscular man" is still increasing.

Xia Yi was telling the truth.

Zhang Zhe gets just as many glances as she does when she walks down the street, only the gazes she attracts are different.

"So handsome?" Xia's mother pondered for a moment: "If he's really that handsome, it doesn't matter if he's a little short."

"Mom, why are you so fickle?"

"Women are fickle by nature." Xia's mother chuckled. "Being tall is useless. When you look up, you can only see his nostrils. It's better to be handsome. Your father was quite handsome when he was young, like the Fifth Prince in Princess Pearl."

"Huh?" Xia Yi was so surprised that she forgot about the pear in her hand.

The Fifth Prince? That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Xia's mother, unaware of the impact of her words, continued to urge, "Change the conditions I listed for you. Just change the height to over 170cm, and the prerequisite is that you have to be handsome."

"Is someone like Liu Ye considered handsome?"

"Sure, Yiyi, how many have you dated? It's Liu Ye and Tony Leung."

"One by one, I was just asking casually." Xia Yi suddenly laughed as she spoke, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"By the way, where did you two go on your blind date today?"

"That really expensive Japanese restaurant next to Wanda Plaza is the one my dad used to forbid me from going to. He said the seafood might be radioactive."

"That place isn't cheap, so it seems the man is quite sincere." Xia's mother nodded: "You didn't order anything recklessly, did you? You can't treat this young man like a sucker."

"No no."

"Okay, that's good. Remember to invite them back next time we meet, so they don't look down on you."

"Know it."

"I guessed you knew that too." After confirming that her daughter would continue with blind dates, Xia's mother finally felt relieved after a day of worry.

……

On the other hand, Zhang Zhe was treated even better than Xia Yi.

I heard he went on a blind date, and his aunt, who married into a family in the next city, came over to say she wanted to help vet her nephew, Zhang Zhe.

Now it's a "joint trial by three bodies".

However, my aunt arrived a bit early; it's not time to meet the parents yet.

"Xiao Zhe, you mean you ate over 4000 yuan worth of Japanese food today, and the girl paid for it?" The aunt almost jumped up when she heard this: "Why?"

"Maybe it's because I'm handsome." Zhang Zhe was too lazy to explain further.

He could tell that his aunt was simply venting her emotions when she asked the question, probably because his cousin had done something outrageous again.

"Are you handsome...? You do look a bit more refreshed than before."

"Good heavens, how come you're 30 years old? You look even better than when you were in your early 20s."

“It’s because our house has good feng shui. A good house is good for nurturing people.” Zhang’s mother chimed in from the side, “Not only has Zhang Zhe recovered, but my back pain is gone, and your brother’s rheumatism hasn’t flared up either.”

"If you ask me, you might as well just move to Qing City."

"Sister-in-law, don't be ridiculous." The younger sister waved her hand, still staring at Zhang Zhe: "You didn't find a rich woman, did you? Is she supporting you?"

"Xiao Zhe, your cousin is still single. He's spent over ten thousand yuan just on taking women on blind dates to dinner, and I haven't even seen a woman yet."

"If you really have connections, could you help me ask if any of the rich women have any sisters you could introduce me to? If not, even the rich woman's daughter would be fine."
