Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Daddy Boyfriend

"What about your family situation?"

"My parents are both teachers. They teach at the local middle school and are almost at retirement age."

"But I don’t have to worry about supporting them in their old age at all, because I have an older brother who’s already married."

"Plus, since my family has a long line of teachers, everyone says I’m very classy..."

[A classy, innocent-but-sexy vibe? Unbelievable.]

[Honestly, this woman’s been putting on that cutesy voice the whole time. It sounds so fake.]

[In my personal experience, the children of teachers rarely amount to much.]

[With her situation, shouldn’t she be looking within her parents’ social circle?]

The girl claimed to be classy, but Zhang Zhe certainly couldn’t hear it.

Many fictional characters, like those in novels or on TV, can often control their emotions and never betray their feelings. Even a poor boy from a mountain village can act profound and mysterious.

But in reality, to someone with a lot of life experience, the moment you open your mouth, they can pretty much tell what you’re all about.

Zhang Zhe wouldn’t consider himself exceptionally experienced.

But after working for so many years, he had met all sorts of women. Especially girls who used the "Little Clamp" voice—they were a dime a dozen, practically an epidemic.

Judging from her tone and what she was saying, he could already tell she had nothing to do with the phrase "classy beauty."

All he could hear was that she was spoiled and doted on at home.

"What about your work situation?" Zhang Zhe asked the question that concerned him most—who on earth sleeps in until almost noon on a weekday? "What industry are you in?"

"I’m currently studying for the civil service exams."

[Classic. The civil service exams.]

[At her age? Don’t tell me she’s been failing all this time?]

[She’s 26. If she started after college, she’s been at it for four years.]

"Studying for exams isn’t a job." Zhang Zhe glanced at his form. The occupation line had reference options, and for her situation, it was: "So you’re currently unemployed, is that correct?"

"Yes, but I’ll definitely pass this year."

Zhang Zhe completely ignored that statement.

’Do blind dates have anything to do with the future? Do you think this is like making empty promises to your college sweetheart?’

This girl didn’t understand the fundamental principle of matchmaking.

It was about "matching based on current status," with no future tense included.

"And before? Have you had any jobs before this?"

"After graduating from college, I was a tutor for a while, but then the K-12 tutoring industry was shut down, so I moved back to my hometown."

"In that case... your current financial situation. Would you mind disclosing it?"

"Savings? Any car or property in your own name? Or a dowry promised by your parents?"

"I have a property in my name from a demolition resettlement, it’s worth around 500,000. And I have six figures in personal savings." On the other end of the video call, the woman counted on her chubby fingers as she spoke. "As for the dowry, my parents haven’t said. But the custom around here is that the dowry matches the betrothal gift."

[So the dowry is zero, then?]

[Where is this? This custom should be promoted everywhere.]

[What a great place. For my wedding, the betrothal gift was 300,000, and all I got for a dowry was six quilts.]

[To the brother who got quilts for a dowry, your IP location checks out.]

"Aside from all that, is there anything special about you?"

It was the first time Zhang Zhe had asked this kind of question, so he gave a few examples to help her understand:

"For example, you have a strong desire to have children and are open to having three;"

"Or you’re childfree and don’t want kids;"

"Other strengths are fine too. Like being good at a foreign language and having a TEM-8 certificate, or special talents in arts or sports, like playing the piano or guzheng."

"These are all intangible but hidden strengths that could be beneficial for a marriage."

After Zhang Zhe finished giving his examples, the girl on the other end went completely silent.

He couldn’t tell if she was lost in thought or just too embarrassed to speak.

After about two seconds of awkward silence, a yellow exclamation mark popped up:

[Mid-Value Intel]

[Sun Jia has no special talents aside from playing League of Legends. However, due to an experience scamming people for money as a paid game companion in college, she is generally unwilling to bring this up. The Host should be aware that due to her gaming addiction, Sun Jia can neither cook nor take care of herself. Her self-sufficiency is poor, and she relies on her parents’ care for her day-to-day life.]

Zhang Zhe quickly scanned the intel.

’Nothing special.’ A Little Clamp playing games as a paid companion was about as normal as it gets.

’Scamming people is also common. You’re short on cash from gaming, but you’re too useless to earn it yourself, so you have to resort to crooked methods.’

’The fact she didn’t sell her body means she still has some semblance of humanity.’

"I don’t have any special talents." Little Clamp thought for a long time before finally coming up with a strength. "But I’m very well-behaved and sensible. I’m very obedient and not dramatic."

"Really not dramatic? Your family spoils you so much, you don’t have a bit of a princess complex?"

"Really, really, I’m very well-behaved."

[Doesn’t that sound a bit like she’s the type to be hopelessly devoted in a relationship?]

[These days, a woman who isn’t dramatic definitely counts as a plus.]

[First time I’ve heard someone describe herself as ’well-behaved’. Are you looking for a partner or a sugar daddy?]

[Host, help me ask what her requirements are. I’m kind of interested.]

Zhang Zhe seemed to have seen a bullet comment expressing interest in the girl.

To many chauvinistic men, a well-behaved and obedient woman was a huge plus. It wouldn’t even matter if she didn’t earn money; they could support her themselves.

So it wasn’t out of the question that someone in the stream had taken a liking to her.

But Zhang Zhe paid it no mind, because he wasn’t here to be a legitimate Matchmaker.

’If you’re really interested, you can chat with her privately later. Don’t interrupt my blind date right now.’

Besides, the girl hadn’t even mentioned the most important part of a blind date—her requirements for a partner.

"I don’t have any more questions for now."

Zhang Zhe put away his pen and paper and pointed to himself.

"Now it’s your turn to state your requirements for me, your future marriage partner, or rather, your ideal blind date."

"Any requirements at all."

"Currently, my persona is... a ’daddy-style boyfriend.’ Could you explain what ’daddy-style’ specifically entails? Does it mean I get to make you call me ’Daddy’?"

[Host, you’re so shameless!]

[When does she call you Daddy? You need to be a little clearer on that.]

[Nice, I like it.]

"A daddy-style boyfriend is..."

On the other end of the video call, the chubby hand went up again.

She began counting on her fingers, as if making a wish:

"First, he has to be rich. I’m about to get a government job, so my salary won’t be very high, but I don’t want my quality of life to drop. So he has to have money, enough to support me at least."

"That’s too vague." Zhang Zhe couldn’t help but interrupt. "With a description like that, I can’t get into character. You need to be more specific."

"How many properties?"

"One property is enough."

"You’re not too greedy, then. What about a car? What price range are we talking about for the car?"

"The car has to be an A6, at least."

"An A6? How much is an A6?" Zhang Zhe didn’t like driving. He only knew that the E260 his dad bought cost 500,000.

[A 2012 A6L, used, only costs 65,000.]

[Classic case of only naming the model. Do yoga-pants girls from the outer counties really love the A6 that much?]

[I wouldn’t even dare ride in a 60,000 A6, let alone drive one.]

[Yours is too expensive. You can get a flood-damaged one for 20,000.]

[Thanks, bros, for opening my mind. My blind date in two days is sorted. I’m going to buy a car right now.]
