Never lower your standards!
Marriage and relationships are all about mutual consent.
Only when you have something that attracts me, and I have something that attracts you, is there a possibility of us being together.
But many people just can't understand this point.
It's like the clients they've attracted these past two days include divorced women with children.
And then, their requirements for a partner were simply unbearable to look at.
A 30-year-old with a 4-year-old son, her appearance was indeed okay, but her job was mediocre, with an annual income of only 80,000.
If she could recognize reality and look for a partner earnestly, it's not like she wouldn't have a chance.
For example, she could look for someone who is also divorced, or someone a little older, and not set such high income requirements.
But she wouldn't do it; she insisted on finding an unmarried 30-year-old who also had a house, a car, and a high income.
Xu Ning was speechless!
If a single man had those conditions, why would he look for her?
His conditions might attract her, but what did she have to attract him?
Just because she was a little better looking than average?
It's simply outrageous!
Surprisingly, Xu Ning's words really resonated with many people in the live stream.
Someone who clearly had similar blind date experiences immediately started complaining.
“A unscrupulous marriage agency near my home introduced me to a divorced woman with a child a while ago!”
“I'm only 27, I haven't even been married yet, and I have to raise someone else's child?!”
“The key is that she also had a good self-image, saying that the house and car had to be in her name, and her salary also had to be handed over to her for safekeeping!”
“I feel like I've become a eunuch, specifically serving their empress and crown prince!”
“Sigh, I just hope she never lowers her standards now!”
“Whoever wants to be a sucker, let them be!”
“Anyway, I can't stand it!”
Seeing his complaint, someone immediately started playing along with the meme.
“Yes, they must never lower their standards!”
“There's a 48-year-old 'little princess' in our village who's been divorced twice, and a few days ago she married a 28-year-old rich second generation! He's tall and handsome!”
“Wow, the betrothal gift was 8.88 million, a villa, and two large flats in the city center, all in her name!”
“Plus several Bentley-class luxury cars, actually, I'm too lazy to even mention anything else.”
“So never lower your standards, you'll find your happiness eventually!”
“Tsk, sisters, don't listen to their nonsense, don't settle in marriage.”
“There's a woman in our village, she was plain-looking, had a rural hukou, and no money, and she never settled until she died at over 80 years old!”
“One day a Taoist priest passed by her grave, and suddenly they hit it off.”
“Guess what?”
“That Taoist priest was a Supreme Heavenly Master, he dug her out directly, fed her a Great Reversion Pill, and resurrected her!”
“The betrothal gift was over 20 jin of Heavenly Court spirit pills, plus two nine-tailed phoenixes, and he even helped her break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!”
“Now they're living very well!”
“So never settle! You deserve better!”
Seeing the wild memes in the live stream, Xu Ning couldn't help but be amused.
“You guys are truly talented!”
“Alright, let's not talk about this topic anymore, lest it really affects some people's values.”
“We...”
Just then, a girl walked in through the door, and Xu Ning stopped speaking.
He gave Bai Ruolin a look, signaling her to screen the person first.
He didn't want to entertain any more 'demons and monsters'.
After about five minutes, Bai Ruolin walked over and placed a folder in front of Xu Ning.
“Her conditions are good, and her requirements aren't high.”
Xu Ning was surprised and picked up the folder to look through it, finding that she was indeed a normal person; although her conditions weren't exceptionally good, her requirements for a partner were genuinely not outrageous.
“Hello, Ms. Feng, let's discuss this in detail in the reception room.” Xu Ning smiled, extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, and at the same time asked, “Do you mind if I'm currently live streaming?”
The woman named Feng Xue seemed a bit distracted, nodding vaguely without speaking.
Xu Ning couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling that she might have some kind of story.
But then he quickly relaxed; after all, not everything in life can go as planned, and who doesn't have a story or two?
Although Feng Xue's appearance wasn't stunning, she was the type that grew on you, and she was tall and slender, at least in terms of looks, she was already a mid-to-high-tier choice.
“Ms. Feng, let me re-confirm your information and partner expectations with you.”
“You are 28 years old this year, have a college degree, currently work as a tutoring consultant at a chain early childhood education institution, with an annual income of around 150,000.”
“Your partner expectation is to find a healthy man with a university degree or higher, over 175 cm tall, under 35 years old, and with an income not lower than your own?”
“Based on your requirements, we can immediately match you with many suitable blind date candidates.”
“But if I may be frank, given your conditions, your partner expectations could actually be adjusted upwards.”
Xu Ning wasn't really lying; after seeing so many delusional and wishful thinkers these past two days, such low requirements for marriage were truly a first for him.
No demands for a house, no demands for a car, and even in terms of income, there were practically no demands.
It felt as if she wanted to get married as quickly as possible!
Suddenly, an inappropriate thought popped into Xu Ning's mind.
Could she be trying to find a scapegoat quickly?
Thinking this, Xu Ning's gaze unconsciously drifted to Feng Xue's stomach.
It wasn't obvious; at least he couldn't tell.
But who could say for sure?
At this moment, many people in the live stream actually had the same suspicion as Xu Ning.
“These conditions are practically none; you can grab a bunch of them on the street!”
“This isn't logical, be careful, it might be a scam!”
“No need to doubt, assuming they get married tomorrow, in seven months he'll definitely be a happy father!”
“I wonder which honest man is going to be the scapegoat!”
“Host, don't ask anymore, just kick her out, she feels even worse than that second-marriage woman just now!”
Xu Ning didn't have time to look at the live stream comments right now; he was still observing Feng Xue to determine if his guess was accurate.
At this moment, Feng Xue slowly raised her head, and the words she spoke, biting her lip, seemed to confirm everyone's suspicions.
“I don't know if the bar is low, but right now I just want to find someone I can marry as soon as possible!”
Xu Ning couldn't help but frown, feeling a wave of disgust, and his voice became somewhat indifferent when he spoke again.
“Why do you want to get married so quickly?”
“You're not even 30 yet; in the Imperial Capital, that's not even considered a late marriage.”
“Could it be...?”
However, when Feng Xue mustered the courage to look up at Xu Ning, her eyes were already red, which made Xu Ning a little flustered.
Had he spoken too harshly?
But Feng Xue's subsequent series of explanations, or rather, tearful accusations, filled Xu Ning with righteous indignation, making him want to swear.
