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

Chapter 2: Thanks to Those Who Don't Eat Cilantro for the Dowry

Upon hearing this question, Lü Shuang seemed to have been waiting for it for a long time, and answered without hesitation: "The requirements are not high, they are all our basic standards."

"It's an apartment in the city, paid in full, and the property deed will have both our names on it."

"A car worth at least 20 yuan for daily use, registered in my name, but of course, the man can drive it as well."

"The bride price is 38.8 yuan, plus at least 5 yuan for the three gold items!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up her water glass, took a sip, and added, "This isn't too much to ask, is it? Besides, my family won't just take the bride price for nothing; we'll bring some furniture and appliances as part of the dowry!"

Goodness, and you call that not much?

Chen Qiu did a rough calculation in his mind. Based on the average price in Gannan city, a three-bedroom house would cost nearly a million yuan in full. Adding the car and the dowry, not including the wedding banquet and other expenses, it would already be close to two million yuan.

Moreover, judging from Lü Shuang's matter-of-fact expression and tone, she genuinely believes that she is quite considerate of the man.

If Chen Qiu hadn't just been bound to the system, he would have turned and run away by now.

Is this the matchmaking market in southern Jiangxi? Rolex, Patek Philippe, and the world's top ten watches are all less valuable than the "Jiangxi natives" right now!

As Chen Qiu was still reflecting, the system's voice in his mind jolted him awake!

[Ding! You have been matched with a potential partner based on their requirements. You have received a house in Haitang Bay, a Xiaomi SU7, 38.8 RMB in cash, and a Chow Tai Fook gold jewelry set!]

The mechanical voice of the system echoed in my mind, like the most beautiful celestial music in the world!

Chen Qiu immediately looked down, pretending to look at her phone. Just then, the screen lit up, and a bank message popped up.

「您的借记卡帐户5694,于2025年1月13日收入388,000.00元,当前余额412,388.60元。【招商银行】」

Chen Qiu's eyes lit up instantly, and his heart pounded wildly!

Are you serious?

He looked up at Lü Shuang in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement.

This isn't some kind of xxn, this is practically a bodhisattva who brings wealth to all living beings!

"That makes sense! Absolutely right!" Chen Qiu slapped his thigh, his face full of sincerity.

"Given your qualifications, Miss Lü, I don't think your requests are anything special... in fact, I personally feel they're rather low!"

"So, are these all of Miss Lü's requirements? Is there anything else?" Chen Qiu asked with a hint of anticipation.

This attitude and tone left Lü Shuang and Lin Shishan stunned on the spot.

Where had they ever seen anything like this before?

In the past, when men heard their conditions on blind dates, they would either remain silent on the spot, or talk about other things, and finally find an excuse to leave.

But this was the first time they had ever seen Chen Qiu so excited, expectant, and even as if she felt he was asking for too little.

A sense of doubt arose in Lü Shuang's mind. Could it be... that I had asked for too low a price?

Could it be that this seemingly ordinary Chen Qiu is actually a hidden rich second-generation?

Thinking of this, the two women exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise and regret in each other's eyes.

"The dowry and the car are just basic requirements, not bonus points!" Lu Shuang quickly added, afraid that she had missed something.

"Material conditions are just the foundation; a boy's character and conduct are even more important!"

"For example, you have to hand over your salary, otherwise we girls will feel very insecure! You can't force me to have children after marriage. Whether to have children or when to have them is entirely up to me! Also, you can't check my phone or my personal whereabouts. That makes me feel disrespected. The most important thing in marriage is mutual respect..."

Lu Shuang spoke earnestly, but Chen Qiu frowned slightly as he listened.

What nonsense! Respect means I'm responsible for earning money to support the family, and you're responsible for being beautiful, and then I have to carefully provide you with emotional value all day long?

Bodhisattva, making wishes is one thing, but could you at least make wishes related to material things? You've gone off-topic!

Chen Qiu was in a hurry; he really wanted to rack up another wave of rewards!

At this moment, Lin Shishan, who was standing to the side, saw through the situation and spoke up as well.

"Exactly! Guys who have money should be more generous; that's what makes them attractive. Buying your girlfriend a mid-range luxury bag, taking her on a trip abroad for holidays, and giving her a big diamond ring when you propose—these actions really score points!"

Lü Shuang immediately nodded in agreement!

Chen Qiu's eyes lit up.

Yes, yes, that's it! This is what making a wish should be like!

"I think so too!"

Upon hearing Chen Qiu's resolute words, Lü Shuang and Lin Shishan's eyes flashed, and they looked at him again.

Their expressions were relaxed and genuine, without any pretense, and completely lacked the resistance and embarrassment they had seen on other men's faces!

If he were a poor, lowly man, he would have already jumped up and started cursing by now.

His nonchalant demeanor... could he really be a hidden gem?

Both women were thinking to themselves, one secretly pleased, the other annoyed.

"My conditions are clearly better than Lü Shuang's, so why can't I meet such a good blind date?" Lin Shishan thought to herself, feeling frustrated.

A silence fell over the dining table. Chen Qiu was somewhat disappointed that the conversation hadn't triggered any system rewards.

He then turned to Lin Shishan beside him and asked curiously, "May I ask, Miss Lin, what are your requirements?"

Lu Shuang's expression suddenly changed.

Lin Shishan's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Lü Shuang out of the corner of her eye. She straightened her back slightly and said with a hint of smugness, "My standards are even higher than Shuangshuang's!"

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

"I'm an only child. My parents said my future partner must own at least two fully paid-off apartments in the city, one of which must be registered in my name. The bride price must start at 50 yuan, and the car price can't be less than..."

Upon hearing Lin Shishan's words, Chen Qiu slapped his thigh, his face full of regret!

This one is the real heavyweight! Why aren't we on a blind date with him today?

Comparing the two, I realized I got a huge loss with this reward!

Lu Shuang noticed the undisguised regret and longing on Chen Qiu's face and was completely stunned.

Seriously? He can accept this kind of request?

She quickly spoke up, a hint of hostility in her voice: "Shanshan is very popular; she already has a blind date she's dating!"

Lin Shishan's expression changed slightly, and then she heard Chen Qiu shake his head and whisper.

"What a pity! What a pity!"

What a pity? Is it because I already have a blind date?

Lin Shishan looked at Chen Qiu, her mind churning with thoughts.

Chen Qiu is tall and handsome, and most importantly, he didn't object to any of the many "extra" conditions she just proposed! Compared to her current blind date who only says "let's discuss it further," he's simply a bargain!

Thinking about her future happiness, Lin Shishan was completely oblivious to her best friend's unpleasant expression.

Just as she was wondering whether she should try to negotiate, the waiter brought the food.

After serving the two women two exquisite appetizers, the waiter looked at Chen Qiu and politely asked, "Sir, have you placed your order?"

"Sorry, I don't eat it!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of Lü Shuang and Lin Shishan, Chen Qiu stood up abruptly.

He picked up his phone and said to them, "I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good match. This restaurant is too expensive; I can't afford it!"

He's not the kind of self-proclaimed gentleman who's actually a clown being taken advantage of.

Before he even arrived, the other party had already ordered with her best friend, clearly showing disrespect for him and trying to rip him off.

Since they've acted so disrespectfully, Chen Qiu sees no need to save face for them.

After saying that, amidst the incredulous looks of the two women, he turned around and strode away from the restaurant.

Before the two women even had a chance to scheme against each other, their brains completely shut down!

No, you... just left?

I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it...

Too expensive?!

and……

"He just said 'too expensive' to me, right?"

"Is he saying I'm too expensive?"

"Is he mocking me?!"

Realizing what had happened, Lü Shuang trembled with rage, her voice rising higher and higher! The waiters nearby were so frightened that they retreated in fear!

Lin Shishan's face was also ashen! This guy wouldn't even pay for this meal—what kind of promising prospect was he?! They'd been tricked by a penniless bastard!

"A poor bastard like him, what are you pretending to be?"

"He skipped out on the bill after we went out for dinner on a blind date!"

"A man like that deserves to never get married!"

The two women each said a sentence, and they tacitly avoided mentioning the thoughts they had had about Chen Qiu earlier. They just kept cursing Chen Qiu for almost ten minutes before they stopped.

However, as they watched the steaming dishes being served one by one, their expressions turned even more unpleasant.

"Shanshan, you recommended this restaurant. I'm out of living expenses... and last time we ate at a buffet, I paid for it..." Lu Shuang turned to look at Lin Shishan, who forced a smile.

"Okay, I'll pay this time..." Lin Shishan said, but she unlocked her phone, found her blind date on WeChat, and quickly sent a message.

……

As Chen Qiu walked out of the restaurant, he was in a great mood, having not let the woman he was on a blind date gain a single penny!

He hummed a little tune as he walked into the nearby shopping mall and headed straight for the Chow Tai Fook store.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up the three gold items I ordered earlier."

"May I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Chen!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Chen!"

A moment later, the saleswoman, wearing white gloves, carefully took out three exquisite gift boxes.

"Mr. Chen, please confirm."

A pair of dragon and phoenix gold rings, an exquisite gold necklace, and a pair of delicate gold earrings!

Although she had already received 38.8 yuan in cash in her bank account, Chen Qiu still couldn't contain her excitement when she saw the heavy set of gold jewelry that the saleswoman brought out.

If they weren't in a shopping mall, he would definitely shout: "Awesome!"

Looking down at the set of gold jewelry specifically designed for weddings, Chen Qiu hesitated for a moment before saying to the saleswoman, "Excuse me, I'd like to ask if this set can be exchanged?"

The saleswoman looked somewhat taken aback. "Mr. Chen, the set you ordered is a ready-made three-piece set, which can be returned or exchanged according to policy. However... are you sure you want to exchange it? This style is very popular with newlyweds."

"Change it!" Chen Qiu immediately agreed. "Give me a gold bracelet of equal value!"

He's not getting married, so these three gold pieces are useless to him. Wouldn't it be better to exchange them for a substantial gold bracelet to give to his mother?

If you give your future wife, whose future is uncertain, a set of gold jewelry, she will only take it for granted.

But if you give your mother a gold bracelet, who has worked hard all her life, she can happily show it off to the neighbors for the rest of her life!
