Livestream Matchmaking: My Intel Infinitely Refreshes

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: 34 Years Old, Choosing a Second Venture

[High-Value Intelligence]

[Your matchmaking target, Qin Bingbing, divorced due to infidelity during her marriage. She managed to secure nearly 10 million in assets from her ex-husband through the divorce settlement. However, she has been squandering her fortune and now only has about 7 million remaining.

If the Host wishes to find a sugar mama, we recommend choosing a different target. Qin Bingbing has no stable source of income aside from rent and does not qualify as a wealthy woman.]

Even though he had guessed this woman’s ”startup” was just getting married and divorced, Zhang Zhe was still shocked to see the 10 million figure.

’This woman is a pro.’

’In a transactional marriage, the wedding is the check, and the divorce is how you cash it.’

’And she successfully cashed hers.’

’But at her spending rate, 10 million won’t last her a lifetime, so she’s back on the market.’

’At 34, she’s embarking on her second ”startup.”’

’The last person to do that was President Lei, and he was 40 when he launched his second venture. Next to her at 34, he almost looks like a late bloomer.’

”When did your last marriage start, and when did it end?”

”We got married in 2015 and divorced the year before last.”

”Oh, so you married pretty young, then.”

Zhang Zhe thought back. ’Back in 2015, the road to cashing in on a divorce wasn’t completely blocked off yet. That was before those ”how to marry a celebrity” training camps were even exposed. For women who wanted to get rich through marriage, that was the last golden age.’

’Am I actually having the honor of meeting a gold digger from a bygone era?’

”What was the reason for the divorce?”

”The man cheated.”

[Hugs, sis! Men are all trash.]

[Sis, you’re so strong inside. For you to still have faith in marriage after your ex-husband cheated is amazing.]

[If it were me, I would have given up on the idea of marriage completely.]

[You had his child and he still cheated? Did you make him leave with nothing?]

This was Xiaohongshu, so the audience was predominantly female.

The moment they heard the man had cheated, the bullet comments lit up like a festival.

”He cheated after you had a child?” Zhang Zhe asked, feigning surprise. ”So the man didn’t even want his own son?”

”That’s right. He’s not even human,” the woman replied flatly.

”So, did he leave with nothing?”

”No.”

”My ex-husband was in the renovation business, and I was helping him with it the whole time. I didn’t notice anything unusual back then.”

”It wasn’t until we started talking about divorce that I realized the client lists, the company shares, everything was in his name.”

”I only got some of the fixed assets. When you do the math, I actually lost out quite a bit.”

”That’s true. A company can generate money, but fixed assets will just get depleted,” Zhang Zhe agreed.

’What she was saying was a mix of truth and lies.’

’The lie, of course, was that she was the one who had been unfaithful.’

’But she really did lose out. She had wanted a share of the company, but her husband likely made some strategic moves after discovering her affair.’

’The houses and cars were the only things he couldn’t finagle, so he had no choice but to split them with his cheating wife as required by law.’

’Since the child was young, custody would most likely be awarded to the mother. With that ”mother” buff, it was no surprise she managed to walk away with two properties and a luxury car.’

”Okay, I think I have a basic understanding of your situation.”

”Right now, you’re looking for someone who’s also divorced with a child, correct?”

”Yes, that’s the plan for now.”

”Why?” Zhang Zhe countered. ”With your assets, you could easily find someone without a child. There are plenty of young guys out there who aren’t looking to climb the corporate ladder.”

”Actually, I did want to find someone like that at first. But I’ve found that it’s not just me; women my age, including some of my single friends, all face the same problem.”

”A man might not like you that much—he doesn’t appreciate you from the bottom of his heart, and he isn’t looking for a long-term relationship—but he won’t show it.”

”He’ll hide the fact that he’s only looking for something short-term.”

”People like that are so annoying.”

[Yes, yes, sis! I’m in the exact same situation!]

[Is it possible you give off a vibe that you’re an easy target? Just a rational guess, don’t come for me.]

[I checked out her Xiaohongshu. All I can say is: good luck with your ’sales’!]

[Sis, don’t be desperate. My experience tells me the more desperate you seem, the easier it is to fall into those guys’ traps.]

”I get it. You’re saying some guys just want to pump and dump, right?” Zhang Zhe rephrased her point more bluntly.

’But looking at the style of this woman’s Xiaohongshu account...’

’Honestly, wasn’t she just baiting them by posting all those thirst traps?’

’Did she really expect the men she attracted by showing off her figure in a bodycon dress to be the type who would only care about her inner beauty?’

’Men aren’t blind. As if.’

”So that’s why you’re looking for a man who’s also divorced with a child, right? Someone with kids and a career usually won’t mess around because they have a reputation to protect.”

”Yes, that’s part of the consideration.”

”Okay, besides that, do you have any other requirements for the man? Anything at all.” Zhang Zhe made an inviting gesture.

He had this woman just about figured out.

”I hope the man has an annual income of over 500,000.”

”How much? 500,000?”

”Host, please hear me out. 500,000 is a bit high, I know, but that’s just based on annual income, not considering his family’s situation,” the woman explained. ”I have two properties and a car, and an annual income of 200,000. If the man doesn’t have a house or a car, then with 500,000 a year, wouldn’t our financial situations be about equal?”

”What about someone who has a house and car and a 200,000 annual income, just like you?”

”Umm... no.”

”Someone with the same assets as you won’t do?” Zhang Zhe had to fight back a laugh. ’Her intentions couldn’t be more obvious.’

”If he’s just like me, then there’s no point in me looking,” the woman defended herself. ”Having more houses isn’t that useful.”

”When you get married, you’re hoping to improve your quality of life, at least a little.”

”Okay, I understand what you mean now.” Zhang Zhe nodded. ”Shall we stop here for now?”

”How about we let the man come on and have a chat?”

”He’s coming on too?”

”Mhm. It wasn’t necessary before, but it is now.”

At Zhang Zhe’s request, the woman quietly left the stream, and the middle-aged locksmith came on the mic.

[Whoa, is this a whole series?]

[Is this basically introducing two new people to each other live online?]

[First time seeing both the man and woman join the stream.]

[Someone actually wants to marry this kind of woman? If you make 500,000, why not find someone younger?]

[Dude, run!]

[Even Dorgon couldn’t handle her. You got the guts to try?]

”Sir, you saw the bullet comments, right?” Zhang Zhe asked with a smile.

’Netizens really are sharp-eyed. Never mind that half of them probably weren’t even married; their analysis was still spot on.’

”I saw them,” the man replied. ”Is Dorgon the guy who was in love with Ning Jing’s character in that show, *Secret History of Xiaozhuang*?”

”That’s the one. Played by Ma Jingtao.”

”Ah, I get it now. Looks like this marriage is a no-go. I remember in the show, Dorgon was always helping Ning Jing’s son, but that kid hated Dorgon’s guts.”

”But I have one more question,” the man said, sounding puzzled. ”The woman I was being set up with, why did she insist on 500,000?”

”You really make 500,000 a year?” Zhang Zhe was curious now too. ”You’re that rich?”

”I make 500,000 because I earn money selling smart locks now. Didn’t I tell you? Everyone’s using smart locks these days.”

”Aren’t you a locksmith?”

”I sell locks and I pick them.”

”Fair enough.” Zhang Zhe realized he’d been stereotyping him. ”Her demanding 500,000 is simple. Because after you get married, half of that 500,000 is hers.”

’This woman is really downgrading her expectations.’

’Otherwise, she would have been looking for someone who makes a million a year.’
