Livestream Matchmaking: My Intel Infinitely Refreshes

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: What Did Programmers Ever Do to You?

"Sister Yaoyao, how did you find this streamer?" one of the ladies in the support group asked the highly educated woman.

"Most streamers use personal accounts. He has the most viewers out of all the streamers using a business account."

"Why does it have to be a business account?"

"I can’t trust personal accounts. A business has a legal representative, so they’re more careful about what they say and tend to be more impartial."

At first, the sisters in the group found Liu Shuyao’s explanation convincing. After all, Zhang Zhe sounded so polite...

"How many of these ’just-for-fun’ relationships have you had?" Zhang Zhe asked the 220-pound behemoth he was on the call with.

"Only about seven or eight times."

"That many times, and you never once felt the urge to get married?"

"Nope. I’ve always just been in it for fun. I don’t think men are all that important, really. They’re just tools for me to satisfy my needs."

[The sister has a point.]

[Ahhh, this is the real talk I wanted to hear!]

[Way to go, sis! We should all be brave enough to say what’s on our minds.]

[??? Are people really this open nowadays?]

Zhang Zhe had been seriously trying to help analyze her matchmaking prospects.

He was a responsible person, and now that he had a System backing him up, he naturally had to take his "matchmaking clients" seriously.

But this woman’s statement left him a bit stunned.

’A tool to satisfy her needs?’

’Can people really just say whatever they want on a livestream now?’

He frowned and asked, "Then why do you want to get married now? You’re not looking for a ’tool’ anymore?"

"Not anymore," the woman admitted. "Now that I’m older, it’s a lot harder to date than it used to be."

"So I might as well just get married."

"I get it. You can’t find your place in the open dating market anymore, so you’ve had to resort to the matchmaking market."

"Using your financial situation to attract people."

Zhang Zhe had summed up her situation with extreme precision.

Her weight was what it was, and as she got older, everything but her money was a weak point.

But the woman was still stubborn. "It’s not that I have no market value. I just don’t like to settle. Otherwise, I could still find guys who would pursue me."

"No, no, no. The guys who pursue you aren’t necessarily suitable marriage partners."

"In the marriage market, as long as you’re not picky, you can always find someone willing to marry you."

"If all else fails, you could always go for a charity case."

"The way to judge if you still have market value is to see if there’s anyone available that *you* actually like."

"Is there?"

"Now... no, not really. You have a point, streamer," the woman reluctantly agreed with Zhang Zhe.

[It’s okay, sis. Those stinking men just have bad taste.]

[A 220-pound fatty should probably lose some weight first.]

Zhang Zhe almost laughed out loud when he saw the bullet comments were about to erupt into a flame war.

To be honest, some of the supportive comments from the "sisters" were so over-the-top they sounded passive-aggressive.

He didn’t like beating around the bush; he preferred being direct:

"You haven’t told me your standards for a partner yet, but I can tell you this bluntly:

"If you don’t lose weight, the kind of man you want to marry wouldn’t give you a second glance in the normal matchmaking market."

"And even if you do successfully lose the weight, it’ll still depend on what you look like when you’re thin."

"Understand?"

"I understand. I’ve already hired a personal trainer and I’m getting ready to lose weight. My trainer is very professional. He has a pointy head and is a bodybuilding champion."

"He said I could lose the weight in six months at the fastest."

"I should be quite good-looking after I lose weight, because my mom has great genes. She was very pretty when she was thin."

"Okay." Zhang Zhe had finally heard something normal come out of this woman’s mouth.

’A daughter’s figure is more likely to take after her father’s, but there’s no need to get bogged down in details like that right now.’

’Besides, her trainer sounds very professional.’

"Alright, tell me what kind of man you’re looking for." Zhang Zhe put away his registration form. It was time for the simulation. "I’ll role-play as him and see if this guy would be interested in you, assuming you’ve lost the weight."

"Okay, sounds good."

"I hope his family’s financial situation is similar to mine. It can be a little less, but not too much less. He should have at least ten million in family assets."

"As for annual salary, around 300,000. Just a bit higher than mine is fine."

"My current target is probably a programmer. I feel like programmers are more honest and are the type you can build a stable life with."

As Zhang Zhe listened to her first few conditions, he was still trying his best to get into character.

His family didn’t have ten million in assets, so he had to adjust his mindset, pretending he owned several properties and had millions in savings.

He’d never been that rich, so it was a little difficult to get into character quickly.

But when she suddenly brought up "programmer," he snapped into character instantly.

"What did we programmers ever do to you?"

"You played around when you were young, and now that you’re old and no one wants you, you’re going to package yourself up nicely and come ruin a programmer’s life, is that it?"

[Why is the streamer talking like that? That’s so harsh!]

[Hahaha, the streamer is a software tester, so he’s basically a programmer too.]

[This isn’t a simulation anymore, he’s basically on a real date now.]

[Dating is a personal choice. Even if the streamer doesn’t like it, he doesn’t have to be so vicious, right?]

[You women are cracking me up. You think this fatso is going to tell her date how much she played around when she was young? Isn’t this just taking advantage of programmers for being honest and naive?]

"I’m not trying to ruin a programmer’s life! I just want to find a stable partner. What’s wrong with that?"

"If you want stable, go for someone in the civil service." Zhang Zhe waved his hand dismissively. "We programmers lose our jobs at 35. What’s so stable about that?"

"Go look for someone in a state-owned enterprise or the government."

"That... seems to make sense," the woman said, as if she’d had an epiphany. "But don’t people in government jobs make less money?"

"Okay, how about this? I’ll change my criteria. If he’s a civil servant, then his family’s assets have to be the same as mine. They can’t be less."

"Do you think that would work, streamer?"

"Sure," Zhang Zhe nodded. "If you’re willing to lie, you might have a chance."

"If you go on dates and are completely honest, the best you could hope for is a male version of yourself."
