Live! How did he have the courage to say such a thing?
“Welcome everyone to the live stream.”
“The streamer is a matchmaker from an offline physical matchmaking studio.”
“Outside of work, I stream to answer everyone's relationship questions and help you all have a smoother journey in blind dating!”
“At the same time, I will also play matchmaker for everyone during the live stream, based on your needs!”
“Just like I wrote in the live stream introduction, as long as a successful match is made in the live stream, the streamer will send a blessing gift package of 3,000 yuan!”
“I’m sending out a lucky bag now, it contains 10,000 platform coins. Everyone can click follow and watch the live stream for a bit to draw the lucky bag!”
At this moment, as Xu Ning explained, the public screen was already full of comments from viewers.
“Oh wow! Why is the streamer so handsome!”
“A 3,000 yuan gift package for a successful match in the live stream? Is it real or fake?”
“Is the streamer helping others with blind dates or are you going on blind dates? I just need a blind date as handsome as the streamer!”
“I’m taking the streamer, you all are on your own!”
“Good heavens, he really just casually sends out a 1,000 yuan lucky bag? Is matchmaking that profitable?”
“I didn't believe it just now, but now that I see you sending such a big lucky bag, I believe you can give a 3,000 yuan gift package!”
“Let me go on a blind date quickly! For your 3,000 yuan gift package, I don't care even if it's with an auntie!”
...There were four types of viewers who stayed: one type because of Xu Ning's handsome face, one type to snatch the thousand-yuan lucky bag, one type for the 3,000 yuan gift package, and only a very small number actually had matchmaking needs.
Putting everything else aside, just this lucky bag was attractive enough.
Compared to other live streams that usually only offer small lucky bags with 100 platform coins, Xu Ning's 10,000 platform coin lucky bag, valued at a thousand yuan, was astonishingly generous.
100 slots, each person could draw 100 platform coins!
Some people were already rubbing their fists, if they drew platform coins, they could go and tip the Misses!
As for the 3,000 yuan gift package, some people had already started to be tempted, and they were even having crooked thoughts.
No matter what, as long as they stayed in the live stream, Xu Ning's goal was achieved.
Slowly but surely!
“If anyone has any questions, you can speak up directly.”
“If you want to be matched in the live stream, please send your personal information to the backend. Please note, you must ensure the information is authentic.”
“If there’s a match with your ideal partner criteria, we will immediately connect you on a call.”
Just then, a Middle-aged Man, about 40 years old, walked into the store.
Bai Ruolin at the front desk immediately began to greet him, “Hello, sir.”
Xu Ning smiled at the camera and said, “Here’s some work. This is a good opportunity for me to show you all live how a real-life matchmaking studio operates.”
Holding his phone in one hand, he stood up and walked to the reception area, politely saying to the Middle-aged Man, “Hello, sir, I am the studio’s chief matchmaker, my surname is Xu. May I ask what your name is?”
The Middle-aged Man glanced at him, nodded and said, “My surname is Zhang, the Zhang with the bow and long radical.”
Xu Ning put down his phone, sat opposite him, and continued to smile politely, “Mr. Zhang, I am currently live streaming, would it be convenient for you to be on camera? This might help us match you with a suitable partner more quickly!”
The Middle-aged Man glanced at the phone, seemingly not very interested in this, but he didn't refuse either.
“Let me first talk about my situation.”
“I am single and unmarried, 39 years old this year, and 1.72 meters tall.”
“I have a bachelor’s degree and currently work at a private company in the Imperial Capital, with an annual income of around 200,000 yuan.”
“I own an apartment in the Sixth Ring Road, with a mortgage.”
Xu Ning recorded notes while shaking his head with a bitter smile in his heart.
Indeed, people always package themselves, especially in such situations, often only mentioning what they can show off, and even then, there's quite a bit of exaggeration.
Even though his experience wasn't that extensive yet, he could still roughly deduce some things.
The age of 39 wasn't something that could be faked, but who knew if he would turn 40 next month?
40 years old and 'in his thirties' sounded like completely different things.
An annual income of 'around 200,000 yuan' most likely meant it was on the lower side of 'around'.
Most apartments in the Imperial Capital were small units, around 50 square meters. If it was in the Sixth Ring Road, it probably wouldn't cost more than 1.5 million yuan to buy.
The mortgage policy for Imperial Capital apartments required a minimum down payment of 50%, so he probably only paid 50% of the down payment.
And what made Xu Ning feel most helpless was definitely the height the Middle-aged Man reported!
172?
He probably wasn't even 170!
You see, when preparing the studio, Xu Jiafei had specifically and discreetly placed a height measuring sticker on the inner door frame at the entrance.
When the Middle-aged Man had just walked in, Xu Ning had already estimated his height.
Wearing shoes, he was probably around 175.
The key was that his shoes clearly had lifts, which was obvious at a glance.
He really couldn't tell the truth!
While Xu Ning was observing the Middle-aged Man from all angles, the live stream was also very lively.
“Are there any Imperial Capital residents who can speak from experience, what are this uncle's personal conditions like?”
“Thanks for asking. You can judge his appearance and height yourselves. Other aspects are actually pretty good. His income is above average, and even an apartment with a mortgage counts as owning a house. The only thing is he's a little bit old!”
“His appearance is ordinary, but not being bald can add some points!”
“To be honest, his height is a bit short, not even reaching the national average height for men.”
“I think it’s still acceptable. As long as his demands aren’t excessive, he should be able to find a suitable partner.”
...However, what happened next completely astonished all the viewers in the live stream, and even Xu Ning almost couldn’t keep a straight face.
“Mr. Liu, then tell us your criteria for a partner!” Xu Ning asked with a smile.
The Middle-aged Man said with quite a bit of confidence, “With my conditions, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a beautiful girl under 25, right?”
After he finished speaking, his gaze even darted towards Xu Jiafei beside him.
Xu Ning: “...”
As soon as he said this, the few people present, including Xu Ning, immediately froze, and even the live stream fell into a brief silence.
Then, the live stream exploded!
“My goodness, how did he have the courage to say something like that?”
“He’s almost 40 himself, and he still wants to find someone young and beautiful under 25?”
“Can he get any more ridiculous?”
“Streamer, are you using an accomplice for a live stream effect?”
“Can’t he just take a good look at himself?”
“If that’s the case, then I can also find someone young and beautiful under 25!”
Xu Ning ignored the situation in the live stream, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down, gritting his teeth and inhaling as he asked, “Mr. Liu, why do you think it wouldn't be difficult?”
The Middle-aged Man was slightly taken aback, probably not expecting Xu Ning to ask that, but he still appeared extremely confident.
“Don’t young girls all like older men now?”
“Aren’t I the ‘older man’ type?”
“And my conditions aren’t bad, so finding a young and beautiful girl shouldn’t be difficult!”
