By extracting their desires for blind dates, I became the richest man.

Chen Ping and Chen Yewu, like Chen Xiang, are unmarried and single.

All three are currently the main targets of pressure from their families to get married.

It's not that they don't want to get married, but they simply can't!

The current entry requirements for the matchmaking market are owning a house and a car.

That alone eliminates all three of them!

Cars aren't difficult to find, but houses are only available through self-built construction!

With his own savings plus the family's savings, he was able to afford a house.

But then I can't afford the bride price!

A dowry of twenty or thirty dollars is no joke.

The thought that getting married would cost her parents' entire life savings plus her own savings from ten years of hard work gradually made her lose interest in marriage.

According to Chen Xiang, out of the dozen or so young men in the village, only two are currently married!

The village elders were all more anxious than ants on a hot pan, relentlessly urging him to get married.

But the more they are urged, the more the young people become resigned to their fate.

"Brother Qiu, I heard you've been going on a lot of dates lately. Why don't you enjoy yourself for a couple more years before getting married?"

Chen Xiang asked curiously.

"If I had Qiu-ge's abilities, why would I need to go on blind dates or get married?"

"I live in the shopping mall every day, and I won't go home until my fingers are wrinkled from soaking in the water!"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Chen Qiu gave him a thumbs up.

"It has to be you, it's so depressing!"

Chen Yewu then mocked.

"Madman, all you do is talk big. Last time, I don't know who it was that went to a karaoke bar and didn't even dare to put their arm around someone's waist, or even hold hands with such timidity?"

"You don't know anything. I like people who are slow to warm up."

Chen Ping's face flushed red; he was determined to save face tonight.

……

Although it was a long-awaited reunion, the entertainment they always had when they got together was always the same few things.

Internet cafes, billiards, fishing!

The four of them first went to an internet cafe.

To be honest, Chen Qiu hasn't been to internet cafes much since graduating from university.

When I saw the price now, I was immediately shocked.

"8 yuan an hour?"

"The price went up a few years ago!"

Chen Ping was a frequent internet user and was used to this price.

"These days, staying up all night costs thirty or forty yuan!"

Chen Qiu clicked his tongue in surprise upon hearing this.

In his memory, internet cafes were already in the era of costing three or four yuan.

Even earlier, during his high school years, he frequented illegal internet cafes where the price was as low as two yuan per hour.

Chen Ping turned on the four machines with practiced ease and rolled up his sleeves.

"Today I'll take you flying!"

However, his grand pronouncements lasted less than an hour before he fell silent.

"I'm too old to fight anymore, let's stick to ARAM!"

Chen Xiang made the suggestion.

Back when they were in school, they were enthusiastic about playing more intense sports like basketball, but now they find it a bit strenuous to play even a game with strong physical contact.

Three hours later, the four walked out of the internet cafe.

Chen Xiang looked up at the darkening sky and complained.

"Chen Ping, if I ever come to the internet cafe with you again, I'm a dog! Damn it, I lost all afternoon!"

"Mine! Mine!"

"Let's eat first, I have work to do tonight."

Chen Qiu glanced at the time and spoke.

Tonight is the annual meeting of Extreme Media, and as the new boss, he has to go up and make an appearance.

"Aren't you going to karaoke tonight?"

Chen Ping and the others turned to look at him.

They felt a little embarrassed if Chen Qiu, the one who hosted the dinner, wasn't there.

"Let's go together, but we probably won't be able to stay for long."

Chen Qiu didn't care.

No matter how alluring ShangK's princess is, can she compare to those female anchors?

As for the location of the shopping mall, Chen Qiu had already found one for them.

It is Zhang's shop, which he inherited from his father.

They're my tenants, so it's no harm to offer some support!

Chen Qiu made a phone call.

Mr. Zhang, who was playing mahjong, saw the caller ID and suddenly stood up with his phone in hand.

"Old Zhang, what are you doing? Are you still going to fight or not?"

The person at the table complained, and the next moment, Boss Zhang glared at him.

"Don't argue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang..."

Chen Qiu's voice came through the speaker, and Boss Zhang's expression became respectful.

Even through the phone, he spoke with a slight bow and shrug.

"Please speak, Mr. Chen!"

Seeing his posture, his classmates exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with a probing light.

Master Chen?

Who could be this person surnamed Chen, who could make Boss Zhang act this way...?

They searched their minds for the characters.

After nodding repeatedly, Boss Zhang responded.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Only after Chen Qiu hung up the phone did Boss Zhang put down his phone.

"Old Zhang, which Master Chen is this?"

Boss Zhang glanced at them and smiled.

"A person you'd never guess!"

Without explaining anything to the others, he took his phone, walked out of the mahjong room, and began searching for suitable candidates on WeChat.

Chen Qiu said he was bringing his friends over for a visit, so he was determined to treat them to the highest standards!

……

Chen Qiu and his group randomly chose a restaurant.

Just then, Chen Qiu suddenly saw a familiar magenta Xiaomi car slowly pull up in front of the restaurant next door.

"what?"

This color scheme is already quite rare, and Chen Qiu recognized it as his own car at a glance.

as predicted.

The next moment he saw his cousin Luo Xu get out of the car.

A beautifully dressed girl got out of the passenger seat.

Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow and took out his phone to send a message to Luo Yu.

Do you know where your brother went?

Luo Yu replied quickly.

"Looks like he went on a blind date."

"What's up, bro? You need to see him?"

"It's nothing."

Chen Qiu turned off his phone, somewhat intrigued.

I just happened to run into my cousin's blind date, so I had to watch.

Then, Chen Qiu led Chen Ping and the others into the restaurant where his cousin was.

I sat down in the seat with my cousin's back to me.

He observed it carefully as he walked over.

My cousin's blind date looked to be under 1.6 meters tall, with a pretty face, but her makeup was a bit heavy, making it hard to tell her age.

Chen Qiu asked Chen Ping and the others to order food, while he quietly pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation.

Luo Xu: "Aunt Liu told me you're from Sichuan?"
