Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 76: Consulting me will cost money.
Outside the door, Xia Yi clenched her hands, her expression showing some hesitation.

She knew Zhang Zhe was right. Blind dates are a very forgiving thing; if it doesn't work out, just move on to the next one.

But something just feels off.

It's like being a hero fighting a dragon, only to have the dragon see her and call her "Mom" and invite her to play tile-breaking games with him.

“Teacher Zhang, I suddenly remembered that you’ve never met me before, and you don’t even know what I look like.”

How do you know we're a good match?

"Is it possible that we would already be meeting if the door hadn't been locked?" Zhang Zhe said quietly, while also urging the locksmith on.

Hurry up, driver, I'm in a rush to go on a blind date.

"Okay, this was indeed an accident." Xia Yi looked at the door of the matchmaking agency and couldn't help but laugh: "So, apart from looks, do you think all the other conditions are suitable?"

"Quite suitable."

Zhang Zhe answered quickly.

But actually, he felt a little guilty.

If we disregard the system's assistance and consider only his family background and personal strengths and weaknesses, he and this Miss Xia are truly not a good match.

He's climbing the social ladder.

Moreover, it's the kind of snowflake that bravely ventures to the ends of the earth and climbs snow-capped mountains.

The leader's daughter is truly exceptional.

Zhang Zhe, an ordinary programmer, is simply not good enough. She would probably need a programmer of the level of a prodigy like Hua Wei. However, the most suitable candidate would definitely be someone within the system who can inherit her father's resources.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhe has a system.

I have a system, why should I care about this or that? Let's go on blind dates first, there are plenty of ways to deal with things if the conditions aren't right.

Of course, we need to persuade Xia Yi first.

"Ms. Xia, what are your requirements for a partner?"

"I...I don't know." Xia Yi's good upbringing instilled in her a very simple view on marriage and relationships.

Girls raised in affluent and stable families are generally like this.

"I think the most important thing about marriage is the other person's character. Money and such are secondary. The key is that they have to have good character."

“Your requirements are the hardest to find.” Zhang Zhe switched to matchmaker mode in a second, offering a professional comment: “The evaluation of character is too subjective; only you can confirm it.”

"In general, our recommendation in this situation is for you to go on more blind dates and gain some experience."

"Yes, I understand," Xia Yi replied obediently.

"Shall I start?"

"it is good."

"!"

"You agreed so easily?" Zhang Zhe's face immediately lit up with barely suppressed surprise.

Anyway, there's a door between us, so I can laugh if I want, hehehe.

"thanks for your trust."

"Teacher Zhang, you're too kind. But I have two requests. I want to be polite first, then firm." Xia Yi smiled and said, "Every time we meet in the future, if you find any problems with me, you must point them out in time. You can't keep them to yourself."

"no problem."

"And also, after our blind date is over, you have to write me a summary report of the blind date, no less than 800 words. I also want to improve."

"Still no problem," Zhang Zhe readily agreed.

He has to write a daily report every day, a weekly report every week, and a summary PPT every quarter when he goes to work.

Xia Yiti's request was no problem for him at all.

"However, I have one condition." Zhang Zhe remembered that he still had a system mission and needed to make it clear: "You can't accept any more blind date invitations from other people before our blind date is over."

"why?"

"Because I don't want you to call me by another man's name when we're on a blind date," Zhang Zhe forced out a reason.

The system's requirement is actually unreasonable, but fortunately Xia Yi is not in a hurry to get married and has not yet reached the point of looking for a better option while still in a relationship.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to speed things up and won't take up too much of your time,"

"And what about you? You can't just be asking me for favors, can you?" Xia Yi said, somewhat unconvinced. "What about you going on blind dates with people online every day?"

"This is a problem stemming from my profession..."

"In that case, I promise that I will only do matchmaking in the live broadcast room, and that it will only be online, and I will absolutely not do it offline."

"Is this okay?"

“Okay! Then this is a gentleman’s agreement.” Xia Yi was quite easy to talk to: “If anyone violates this agreement, the other party has the right to post it online.”

"Haha, are you hanging up sweet potatoes?"

"No, it's the Qing City Daily."

"Are you scared?" "Awesome, awesome!" Zhang Zhe clapped his hands twice.

Xia Yi is no ordinary person to even think of traditional news media.

Matchmakers aren't afraid of Little Red Book (a popular Chinese social media platform), but they are afraid of being named by official media.

After they made their agreement, they both fell silent in perfect unison. The only difference was that Zhang Zhe was looking at the system information, while Xia Yi was staring at the door of the matchmaking agency, lost in thought.

After a while, the locksmith arrived.

As the master was taking the equipment out, Xia Yi seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Zhang Zhe through the door:
"I'll send you two photos I took before later. We won't meet today."

"That way, when we meet for the first time on the weekend, it will feel more formal, like a proper blind date."

"Are you right?"

“Okay.” Zhang Zhe readily agreed, deciding to put aside his daytime live stream on the weekend and go on a blind date first.

"Then I'll be going now. See you this weekend, Zhang Zhe." Xia Yi subtly changed her form of address.

See you this weekend.

……

"Handsome, am I late?" The locksmith felt a pang of guilt as he watched the two say goodbye in front of him. On his way here, there were actually two red lights with no cars, which he could have easily run. "Were you two on a date?"

"It's not that deep, we've only just met."

"Oh." The middle-aged chef looked up at the sign above his head.

Yes, that's right, this is a matchmaking agency. What kind of person would be locked in a matchmaking agency in the middle of the night, chatting with people through the door?

He suddenly became curious about Zhang Zhe's identity.

Fortunately, his profession allowed him to openly and legitimately question the other person: "Handsome, what do you do? I need to find out and register."

"It's not that I doubt you, it's just our rule."

“I understand,” Zhang Zhe explained. “This is a matchmaking agency, and I’m the matchmaker here. I was so focused on my work that I got locked inside.”

"Please save me!"

"Oh, so you're a matchmaker."

"No wonder you were talking about blind dates earlier." The locksmith suddenly realized. While examining the keyhole, he asked idly, "Judging from your voice, you're not very old. Have you become a matchmaker so early?"

"Yeah, what's the difference between any job?"

"That's right."

Can I ask you a question?

“Sure, go ahead and ask.” Zhang Zhe was in a good mood and was willing to chat with this middle-aged man.

"No rush, let me unlock it first..."

"..."

"Okay, done!"

As soon as the locksmith finished speaking, Zhang Zhe heard the sound of the lock being removed, and then the door was pulled open from the outside.

An older man wearing a "Mao Locksmith" uniform, carrying a lock, was smiling at him.

"Boss, WeChat or cash? We agreed on the phone, eighty yuan."

"Let's use WeChat, I'll scan your QR code."

"okay!"

The locksmith handed over the QR code, and only after confirming receipt of payment did he move aside at the doorway.

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhang Zhe said perfunctorily.

It wasn't actually that hard. The locksmith took no more than two minutes from the moment he arrived to the moment he opened the lock. He earned eighty yuan so easily.

"You're too kind, boss."

"Actually, unlocking is simple, the main problem is that it's a hassle to come all the way here," the locksmith said, taking off his gloves.

After seeing that he had finished packing, Zhang Zhe prepared to go out with him.

But the other person didn't seem to be leaving; instead, they smiled and looked at him again.
"Handsome, you just said you could ask me a question..."

Zhang Zhe immediately understood. It turned out that the man was afraid that he wouldn't pay if he answered the question, so he would use the 80 yuan for unlocking and the consultation fee to offset the cost. That's why he waited until now to ask.

The older brother has some ulterior motives.

But it's not good for people to be too calculating.

The most important thing between people is sincerity.

So Zhang Zhe deliberately told the other party, "My consultation is not free, it's eighty yuan for ten minutes, pay first and then we'll chat."

Are you sure you want to ask?
