Chapter 248 - 246: Could We Have Met Before?

Chapter 248: Chapter 246: Could We Have Met Before?

Zhang Zhe didn’t actually know if the guy who came on the stream was a true A9, but the man had indeed sent a Carnival gift in the stream before and had also added him on WeChat.

But after they became friends, the man had only sent a 200-yuan red packet and hadn’t said a word since.

It felt like he was just laying the groundwork, planning to come back for a consultation when he was ready to get married.

There was only one big shot like him, so Zhang Zhe remembered him clearly. As soon as he saw the man’s WeChat message, he immediately agreed.

"An A9?" The woman thought for a moment before asking, "Is he an A9 from here in Hedong?"

"If he’s not local, there’s not much point to this. Every place is different."

"I’m not sure where he’s from... Hold on, let me ask."

"Okay, got an answer. The big shot says he’s from Jinan."

"So, what’s the verdict?" Zhang Zhe looked at the camera with a smirk, waiting for the woman’s reaction.

Unsurprisingly, she agreed.

"Is he really from Jinan? Well then, you should introduce us!"

"That’s what I’m doing right now, helping you two meet."

"Alright, let me bring him on."

Zhang Zhe used the account name the man sent on WeChat to search for him. After finding the profile, he didn’t immediately connect for the voice chat. Instead, he clicked to check out his homepage first.

The page screamed new money.

He’d seen plenty of people show off their luxury cars, but this was the first time he’d seen someone show off the passengers in the front seat.

If you didn’t recognize the luxury car interior, you might mistake him for some sleazy ride-share driver.

But you had to admit, the big shot’s taste was impeccable.

The women in the passenger seat were all the same type: slim waists, long legs, wearing stockings of every color. There wasn’t an ugly one among them.

After Zhang Zhe brought the big shot onto the stream, the detectives in the chat room quickly analyzed his account.

[This guy’s a real big shot.]

[The rich really have it good.]

[Hey big shot, I’ve got some pills for... uh... performance issues. Need to buy a few pounds?]

[I wanna hear a real rich dude’s sharp take on this.]

"Hello, hello! Good evening, Brother Zhang."

The new big shot’s voice was deep, practically overflowing with testosterone.

"I came on here to offer a fair perspective."

"Her being confrontational isn’t actually a problem. I know several rich kids, the second-gen wealthy types, who are a bit masochistic. When a woman talks back to them, they just get more turned on."

"Nice," Zhang Zhe said, giving a thumbs-up.

The big shot said it with such conviction, and with the luxury cars on display as proof, neither the live chat nor Zhang Zhe could do anything but believe him.

"Honestly, if you ask me, those masochists should just go find a dominatrix. But they can’t. Their families are rich, you see. They can date whoever they want, but their families won’t let them screw around when it comes to marriage."

"So, there really are some submissive rich kids who are willing to marry a dominant woman."

"That makes sense!" His words struck a chord with the woman on the call, and she was on the verge of laughing out loud. "I agree, personality isn’t the biggest issue."

"You just have to find someone whose personality complements yours."

"Exactly." The big shot seemed to go along with what she was saying, but then he suddenly changed his tune. "However, I’m a big fan of something Brother Zhang often says."

"Why should they choose *you*?"

"Matchmaking is a competition against people of your own gender. What do you have on the strong-willed only daughters from A9-level families?"

[The knives are out now, lol.]

[You can tell this big shot watches a lot of streams.]

[Is this guy Brother Zhang’s apprentice or something?]

[Just what I was thinking. Even if a rich kid wants to marry a mommy-figure to boss him around, he’s definitely going to find one from a family of equal standing.]

"I... I’m good-looking. And I’m not always dominant; sometimes I can be very gentle, too."

Her defense lacked any real conviction.

At first, she only wanted to bring up her looks, but halfway through her sentence, she remembered that plenty of only daughters from wealthy families were also beautiful.

That’s why she tried to tack on that last part.

"That won’t do. How can you be dominant one moment and not the next?"

"If your dominance isn’t absolute, then it’s absolutely not dominance."

"Right, Brother Zhang?"

"Haha." Zhang Zhe chuckled, then nodded with a perfectly straight face. "You’re not wrong. That’s certainly one way to put it."

"If you’re dominant in every single aspect of your life, the kind of man who’s a perpetual pushover will gladly let you control him."

"But if you only act tough occasionally, people won’t think you’re a dominant person. They’ll just think you have a bad temper."

"He might even think he’s the one who spoiled you and gave you that bad temper by being too good to you."

"Yes! Brother Zhang is totally right! I have a friend whose ex-girlfriend was exactly like that."

The big shot and Zhang Zhe worked in perfect tandem, shutting down the woman’s dream of finding a rich heir from both a theoretical and a practical standpoint.

But she still wouldn’t give up.

"But there are so many types of rich heirs. There has to be one out there for me, right?"

"Are you that dead set on finding a rich heir?" the big shot asked curiously. "If your heart’s really set on it, maybe I can help you."

[Big shot, what are you thinking?!]

[What’s he mean? Big shot, you’re not a pimp, are you?]

[Yeah, yeah, you have to help her marry into a wealthy family.]

[It’s a good thing if people like her go and plague the rich.]

"How can you help? Go on."

"I just want to find a rich heir. I know plenty of guys from A8-level families, and honestly, some of them are less impressive than guys from regular families."

"First, tell me this..." The big shot paused, making everyone think he was deep in thought.

In reality, he was just setting up the punchline.

"What’s your monthly rate?"

"!" Zhang Zhe looked shocked and quickly made a stopping gesture with his hands. "Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"What the fuck!" As expected, the woman lost her composure. "What the FUCK are you saying?"

"Are you a fucking idiot?"

"Now, don’t get ahead of yourself." The big shot was completely unfazed. "Before I came on stream, I already saw your pictures."

"Tell me, is there a chance... that I’ve seen you somewhere before?"

[66666]

[He’s doxxing her, lmao.]

[I get it, this big shot knows the going rate.]

[For real? Is it really that much of a coincidence?]

[The social circles of the rich in second- and third-tier cities aren’t that big anyway.]

[I don’t believe you, unless you show me too.]

"Brother Zhang..." The big shot on the call suddenly tagged Zhang Zhe. "I just DMed you her photo. You can check if it’s the same person."

"Alright." Zhang Zhe was just about to grab his phone when Xia Yi, who was beside him, pointed out that the woman had already left the call.

She made a remarkably fast escape.

The viewers in the chat room didn’t even have time to react.

"Guess we don’t need to check, then."

"I’ve never seen anyone with a guiltier conscience."

"More than what her monthly rate is, I’m actually more curious about something else. Bro, how do you even remember a photo you just glanced at? You must have ’shopped around’ a lot, huh?"

"You got some kind of *Super Brain* for finding women?"

"Hehe, you could say I have a bit of a talent for this sort of thing."

"To be honest, her looks are right up my alley."

"But she’s too expensive."

"I’m the kind of guy who gets a little fixated on expensive things I want but can’t have yet. That’s why I recognized her so quickly."

"Ah, the rich," Zhang Zhe sighed theatrically.

The big shot chuckled. "Brother Zhang, now that the woman’s gone, could I get a consultation for myself?"

"Sure, but there are quite a few people watching the stream right now."

"Are you sure?"

The man was one of the stream’s top supporters, so Brother Zhang was willing to offer him a private consultation.

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Just think of it as me generating some buzz for your stream, Brother Zhang."

"Alright, I’m turning on my camera then."

The moment the big shot finished speaking, a steering wheel with a Mercedes-Benz logo appeared on his camera feed.
