A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

A bowl of millet porridge, a basket of steamed buns, and a small dish of pickled vegetables cost a total of twelve yuan.

Watching his WeChat balance change from 712.35 to 700.35, Jiang Ye chewed on his steamed bun, pondering his next move.

Plan B was successfully implemented last night, but this method can only be used at night, and the daily rental cost of 800 is a bit too much to bear.

With only a few hours left before returning the car, perhaps we can try our luck at Plan C.

After breakfast, he drove around the city. Around 10 a.m., following the directions on his phone map, he arrived at "Jiayuan High-End Marriage Agency" located in a high-end office building in the city center.

Just looking at the facade gives off an air of "not cheap"; the floor-to-ceiling windows are so clean they reflect light, and the interior is decorated like a hotel lobby.

The receptionist was a young woman dressed in a black skirt suit and with impeccable makeup. She immediately smiled politely upon seeing him.

"Hello sir, welcome to Jiayuan.com. How can I help you?"

"Hello, I would like to inquire about membership services."

"Yes, sir, please have a seat here. I'll arrange a teacher for you."

The receptionist led him to a separate reception area, and soon another slightly older woman came over with an iPad, introducing herself as Ms. Li, a marriage and relationship consultant.

"Hello sir, you seem so young. What kind of partner are you looking for?"

Following his prepared statement, Jiang Ye vaguely expressed that he had just entered the workforce and was in the early stages of his career. He hoped to find a partner who was independent, opinionated, financially compatible, and capable of growing together.

Ms. Li nodded while swiping on the iPad: "I understand, I understand. There are many young people with ideas like you these days. We do have many outstanding female members here, such as corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and overseas returnees, etc. However..."

She changed the subject, a slightly troubled look on her face: "Sir, Jiayuan provides high-end customized services. To ensure member quality and matching efficiency, we require you to complete the membership process first. Are you familiar with our membership system?"

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over him: "Uh, I'm not quite sure, what exactly is it like?"

Teacher Li smiled and turned the iPad towards him, the screen clearly displaying different membership packages:

[Basic Membership]: Service period of 3 months, providing basic matching and matchmaking services. Membership fee: 2298 yuan.

[Basic Premium Membership]: 6-month service period, includes one-on-one service with a senior matchmaker, and priority access to offline events. Membership fee: 10000 yuan.

[Premium Customized Membership]: 12-month service period, dedicated matchmaking team, personalized partner selection requirements, and arrangement of high-end dating venues. Membership fee: 30000-100000 yuan.

[Top-Tier Marriage Hunting Membership]: Service period negotiable, comprehensive background checks, precise targeting of potential clients, extremely high success rate. Membership fee: Starting from 200000 RMB.

Jiang Ye stared at the string of zeros, feeling his head buzzing.

"Um...Ms. Li, do you have any...trial programs? Or first-time discounts or something?"

"I'm sorry, sir, we do not offer trial services here."

Ms. Li's smile faded slightly: "The membership fee is also to ensure service quality and the sincerity of our members. After all, we serve high-end clients, and if the threshold were too low, it would be disrespectful to our existing members, wouldn't you agree?"

"Uh...yes, yes, I understand, I understand."

Jiang Ye stood up with an awkward smile: "Um... Teacher Li, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business at the company. I'll think about the membership issue some more and contact you later!"

......

Two minutes later, Jiang Ye sat back in the driver's seat of the BMW with a black line on his forehead and slammed the door shut.

Oh my God!

Are the requirements for blind dates so high now?

I've only ever heard of headhunters, what the hell is marriage hunting?

Stealing someone else's young and beautiful wife to live with you? Are you kidding me?

He slumped in his seat, watching the hurried passersby outside the window, silently rubbing his temples.

I only have 700 yuan on hand, and renting a car costs 800 yuan a day. Even if I want to continue using Plan B to rip people off, I still need to get the initial investment for renting the car out first...

Just as Jiang Ye was figuring out how to make some money, his phone suddenly rang. It was a WeChat voice call invitation from "Ruo Da Yi Ju Zi"—Ye Cheng.

Ok?

This woman actually came looking for me?

He composed himself and answered the phone: "Hey? What's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Ye Cheng's voice was a little hesitant: "Um... buddy, could you... do me a favor?"

Tell me, and I'll see if it's convenient for me.

"Our class is having a party tonight, and afterwards... could you pick me up by car?"

"Shall I pick you up in my car?"

Jiang Ye glanced at the BMW emblem on the steering wheel, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Oh, trying to show off? Aren't you the one who hates show-offs the most?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a hint of annoyance and anger: "Just tell me if you're coming or not!!"

"Come on! Of course I'll come!"

Jiang Ye knew when to stop, but didn't forget to bargain: "But... I can't just be a driver for free, can I?"

Ye Cheng seemed relieved, her tone becoming more relaxed: "How about I treat you to dinner?"

"become!"

Jiang Ye was immediately overjoyed.

Treating guests will cost at least a hundred or so yuan, and that covers the initial cost of renting a car.

"What time tonight? Where?"

"The Millennium Bar is at the south gate of the music academy. Just arrive at 10 o'clock. If I drink too much, I'll call you and you can come in and pick me up."

"Can."

Jiang Ye chuckled: "But you've had too much to drink... Girl, are you interested in me and trying to create opportunities for me?"

"Tch~ You're overthinking it."

A soft chuckle came from across the street: "Of all the nice guys I know who drive nice cars, you're the most 'honest.' Facing a woman who's completely drunk, you only took off her..."

"Okay, that's enough, I understand!"

Jiang Ye interrupted her, his face full of exasperation. This woman really did remember!

Hearing Ye Cheng laughing louder and louder on the other end, he coughed, trying to salvage his image: "Actually... you threw up on your feet yesterday, so I..."

Ye Cheng drawled out her words, her tone teasing: "Okay—okay—okay, I believe you, I believe you... But little brother, how about I give you another pair as fare tonight?"

Jiang Ye was torn between his inner thoughts and his own conscience.

Dignity is crying out, but money is tempting!

Finally, he gritted his teeth.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of!

This is the path to becoming a super-rich person! Besides, don't all rich people like to do something a little crazy?

"Um... well, if I were to give one as a gift... do you have... you know, the one with letters on it, the really expensive one...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Cheng suddenly hung up the phone with a "pfft," leaving only a busy tone.

"Feed? Feed?!"

Jiang Ye sighed helplessly as he listened to the busy signal.

Why is that woman laughing? Didn't she say she was going to give it to me?
