Livestream Matchmaking: My Intel Infinitely Refreshes

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: I Don’t Regret It, I’ll Just Find an Identical One

[High-Value Intelligence]

[Your blind date, Gu Wei, comes from a well-off family, but there is significant risk. The majority of her family’s assets have unclear origins. Furthermore, her personal annual spending is as high as 1.5 million, which represents a major difference from the Host’s spending habits;

However, her parents currently do need a son-in-law to help structure the family’s assets. If the Host is willing to take the risk, you could give it a shot.]

The system provided Zhang Zhe with a detailed list of the sources of the woman’s family assets.

’It’s manageable. Not like they’ve committed treason or anything outrageous.’

It was nothing more than some high off-the-books income, a few shell companies, and some assets across the Pacific. If her parents went to prison and worked a sewing machine for ten-plus years, they’d be all square.

It was definitely a good deal for them, because how much could you really earn from working a sewing machine for ten years normally?

All in all, this girl’s situation was likely ten times worse than even the Antarctic Catfish’s.

Zhang Zhe really couldn’t understand why people like her would reveal their family situations online. ’Are their lives too good? Do they have to stir up some major drama?’

Look at Tiffany. She could fork over 70 million US dollars, but she usually kept a low profile. If she hadn’t offed someone and needed to pay for bail, who would have known she was that loaded?

But with such a precedent, Zhang Zhe was no longer too surprised by these abnormal second-generation rich kids.

”I’m not trying to marry into a rich family, I just want to find someone similar to my ex-boyfriend.” The woman’s reasoning was the same as most girls who’d been treated as a short-term option.

Zhang Zhe feigned a lack of understanding. ”Sis, having an ex-boyfriend isn’t exactly a plus on the marriage market.”

”For a normal guy, not having an ex-boyfriend is the real plus.”

”The kind of person you’ve dated doesn’t mean you’ll get to marry that kind of person. For a specific example, just look at Xiaowang.”

[Hahaha, Xiaowang is the classic case of being used.]

[Another piece of straw that was used to tie up a crab.]

[If you like your ex so much, just go grovel and get him back.]

[You can keep dreaming. It’s not like it’s hard to dream, lol.]

”I’m not like those girls who were just short-term flings!” the woman retorted immediately after seeing the bullet comments. ”I met his parents, and we were already discussing marriage. I was the one who didn’t want to marry him.”

”Sis, don’t get worked up. The bullet comments, they just can’t stand to see anyone doing well. I get you,” Zhang Zhe said comfortingly. ”Who cares about some rich family? We don’t want to marry into one anyway.”

”By the way, was your ex-boyfriend’s family a rich one?”

”Of course. His family is worth several hundred million. But I was with him mainly because he’s a good person. We met when we were students. It was a very pure, school-days kind of love.”

”You met in grad school?” Zhang Zhe guessed. ”An executive MBA program?”

’A school-days romance is indeed a beautiful thing, but managing to precisely find and date a second-generation heir worth hundreds of millions probably wasn’t so simple.’

Considering the woman’s background and her rather dull way of speaking, Zhang Zhe rationally deduced that she had met her ex-boyfriend while getting a superficial degree from one of those pay-to-play MBA programs.

And it turned out he was right.

”Yeah, we met in grad school.”

”We had a great relationship. For a while, I really thought I’d met ’the one.’ But I never expected him to be a mama’s boy.”

[Got it. His mom didn’t approve of you.]

[Hugs, sis. You really can’t marry a mama’s boy.]

[With a family worth hundreds of millions, his mom is definitely no ordinary person.]

”ACHOO!” Hui Zi, who was watching the stream, couldn’t help but sneeze. He was also a veteran ”girlfriend-certified mama’s boy.”

But having dealt with Hui Zi before, Zhang Zhe knew that when a woman labels a man a ”mama’s boy,” it usually just means his family rejected her.

It didn’t even have to be his mother. Even if his father was the one who voiced the rejection, the girl could still slap on that same label.

It was like how a guy could be gay, but as long as he said he didn’t like a girl’s makeup, he’d still get called a ”straight-male chauvinist.”

”Sis, how was your ex a mama’s boy? Can you give us the details?”

”Yeah, I can.” The woman nodded. ”He wasn’t like a typical mama’s boy. You couldn’t tell at all, usually.”

”After we started moving toward marriage, his mother would always look at me with this scrutinizing gaze. When she asked me questions, she had the tone of a recruiter, which was very uncomfortable.”

”Is he an only son?”

”No, he has a younger brother.”

”Well, that explains it. If you married him, you’d be the wife of the eldest son. With a family fortune of several hundred million, it’s pretty normal for them to be cautious, right?”

”But I’m not after his family’s money! My own family isn’t short on money either.”

”If his mother doesn’t ask, how would she know you’re not just faking it?”

”Why would I need to fake it? I spend over a million a year on myself alone. What kind of gold-digging, social-climbing woman can do that?”

[Didn’t you say your annual salary was 300,000? So you’re sucking 700,000 from your family every year?]

[Wait a minute, your family is that rich? Something’s not right.]

[You guys in the comments, don’t make a big deal out of it. Acting like you were born yesterday.]

When the topic came up, Zhang Zhe’s interest was piqued. He wanted to know how much this woman actually knew about her own family’s situation.

Because logically speaking, her family was a ticking time bomb.

An heir to a several-hundred-million-dollar fortune had no reason to take on that kind of liability. If his father-in-law’s family blew up, he would be implicated too.

”Your family has 20 million in assets, and you spend 1 million a year? Sis, with that spending level, it’s pretty normal for his family to be on guard, don’t you think?”

”I spend 1 million, but I also save 1 million,” the woman explained. ”Our family is the asset-light, heavy-cash-flow type.”

”Understood.”

’Besides the finance industry, what else is asset-light and cash-heavy?’

’Combine that with her parents’ jobs... it’s a real mystery.’

”So in the end, was it his mother who didn’t approve, or was it that you couldn’t stand her?”

”Neither.”

”It was my boyfriend who told me that we should play along with his mother’s ideas and just deceive her for now,” the woman said, somewhat resentfully. ”I thought he was too spineless.”

”He also has a younger brother, and his brother has a girlfriend, and his mom was always comparing us to his brother...”

”Sis, I know what you mean.” After hearing her out, Zhang Zhe understood everything.

The woman most likely couldn’t compare to his brother’s girlfriend.

It was unfair to call the guy a mama’s boy. Children of wealthy families have their own survival intelligence.

He might have been a bit cowardly, but was it really so easy for a rich kid to openly defy his family for a woman?

”Marrying a man like that would indeed be pointless.”

”Then why are you still looking for someone similar to your ex?” Zhang Zhe put on a confused expression. ”Do you regret it?”

”What a joke. How could I possibly regret it?”

”Then what do you mean?”

”Teacher, from your social class, you might not be able to understand, but the reality is, at my level, I deserve someone like my ex-boyfriend,” the woman said earnestly. ”And a very independent one, not a coward like my ex.”

”Sis, why don’t you think about it a little more? Maybe it wasn’t that your ex-boyfriend didn’t dare to rebel, but that he just didn’t think it was necessary?” Zhang Zhe said with a sly grin.

These were words that struck at the heart. First, the kill shot, then the analysis:

”You know, deep down, that your family’s heavy cash flow won’t last forever, right? Once your parents retire, the source will dry up.”

”It’s not that you *must* have an A9, but that you’re afraid if you don’t get an A9, your future material needs won’t be met.”

[Just like my analysis!]

[She’s really planning far ahead, then.]

[Spends over a million a year, probably all on her face?]

Zhang Zhe’s words hit the nail on the head. The woman didn’t say another word and logged off at light speed.

She ran.

”This girl’s really something else. Her ex-boyfriend was already blind to have picked her, and she still couldn’t lock it down.”

Zhang Zhe shook his head. ’The girl may be clueless, but she still helped me get that last little bit.’

Now he finally had 200 Happiness Points!

Time to end the stream!

Zhang Zhe quickly said goodbye to his audience, but before he could even turn off his computer, a call came in from Teacher Wang:

”Teacher Zhang, we have a mission tomorrow, don’t forget!”

”Tomorrow? Oh, right. The matchmaking corner?”

”Yes, and remember to bring your streaming equipment,” Teacher Wang requested. ”You need to help stream it tomorrow. The leadership wants to watch.”
