Chapter 254: Chapter 252: Killing Spree

"Of course I can find someone, but I’ve invested four whole years into my boyfriend..."

"If you can find someone, then go find them!" Zhang Zhe repeated his advice.

"But wouldn’t that just be handing over the boyfriend I’ve cultivated to another woman? Why should I?"

When the woman realized she couldn’t steer Zhang Zhe’s line of thinking, she was forced to follow his direction and analyze the problem.

Zhang Zhe chuckled after listening. "If you can find someone better, why are you still hung up on a worse one?"

"How about you ask your boyfriend for a training fee?"

"It’s not about the money..." The woman’s words trailed off, and she faltered. "Anyway, it’s not money I want."

"I just feel like it’s not worth it."

"Then that’s something you’ll have to deal with yourself. Anyway, from an outsider’s perspective, it really doesn’t seem like your boyfriend got a good deal out of these four years with you."

"How about this? I know you’re not convinced."

"You can go online, find other matchmakers or relationship gurus and ask them. If they all think your boyfriend is an ungrateful bastard, I’ll refund you ten times today’s consultation fee."

"I’ll give you back 1,000."

"Fine, Brother Zhang, you’d better remember what you said." The woman sneered. "How could I possibly have NPD? What a joke."

’NPD is narcissism. I’m just genuinely outstanding...’

"Haha." Zhang Zhe didn’t say much.

He gestured for her to leave. The woman didn’t linger and left immediately.

The woman had just stepped out when Veteran Wang came in, almost in the next second.

Her face was all smiles.

Beaming.

"So? Zhang Zhe, how’d it go?"

"Not great!" Zhang Zhe shook his head with a wry smile.

Xia Yi, who was nearby, sighed. "That woman’s personality is terrifying. When you talk to her, she replies so, so fast."

"I can’t even imagine how many times she’s rehearsed those lines in her head."

"Truly terrifying." Teacher Wang nodded in agreement. "The moment she came in, she told me her boyfriend had been exploiting her for four years. I was already done."

"Someone who’s truly being exploited would definitely be thinking about escaping."

"But look at how arrogant and aggressive she was. Did she seem exploited at all?"

"If you ask me, it’s her boyfriend who’s been exploited for four years."

"Mhm." Zhang Zhe and Xia Yi nodded in unison.

’It’s a shame I didn’t meet this woman on stream,’ Zhang Zhe thought. ’Offline consultations are just too restrictive; there are so many things I can’t say.’

"Actually, I wanted to ask her the whole time."

Zhang Zhe cleared his throat and said,

"If she’s so capable, why does she keep pushing her boyfriend to strive for success? Why doesn’t she do it herself?"

"I didn’t ask in the end, because I had a feeling she would just say she’s already outstanding as it is."

"Definitely," Teacher Wang said, full of confidence. "I met a woman just like her when I was younger."

"She drove her husband to jump off a building. Then she came to us for matchmaking, went on endless dates, and was never satisfied. She always complained to us matchmakers, ’How come all the men I meet are not only incompetent but also disobedient?’"

"I can’t believe after all these years, I’ve run into another one."

"And the worst part is, she’s from our very own Qing City."

"I hope that guy can break up with her smoothly," Xia Yi said with a touch of pity. "If she keeps pestering him, it’s possible she could even get him fired from his job."

"Yeah, let’s hope so."

Zhang Zhe nodded. He had already done his best, constantly telling the woman to find someone better than her current boyfriend.

’The reality is, there’s a 99% chance she won’t be able to.’

’He wouldn’t dare say 100% for fear there might still be a master out there.’

’In any case, no normal man could possibly tolerate a woman like that for four years.’

’Zhang Zhe guessed that they most likely met in college, back when the guy’s social ’switch’ hadn’t been flipped on yet. He was probably a quiet STEM type who got snatched up by an older student and was molded into what she wanted.’

’Fortunately, after entering the workforce, the guy gradually woke up.’

’This also indirectly proved that the man wasn’t as useless as the woman saw him. To be able to struggle after being ’disciplined’ for four years meant he had already surpassed 90% of his male peers.’

’At least he was much stronger than Yan Dongping’s man.’

...

After Teacher Wang left, Xia Yi chatted with Zhang Zhe for a bit before heading home early, as she had relatives visiting the next day.

After seeing her off, Zhang Zhe also began preparing for his evening livestream.

Just as he was about to go live, he suddenly received a number of strange private messages:

[Brother Zhang, you’re awesome!]

[Hahaha, why are you recommending your fans to connect with other streamers?]

[Brother Zhang, you’re too good at setting people up.]

[The host is creating content even when he’s not live.]

[...]

Zhang Zhe looked into it and found that someone had mentioned a streamer called "Big Cat Matchmaking."

A fellow streamer from Douyin.

Since he hadn’t started his stream yet, he clicked in to take a look.

This streamer was a lot like Zhang Zhe, also in the habit of writing the woman’s details on a whiteboard. However, he drew a hexagonal chart, which didn’t seem as straightforward.

Zhang Zhe hadn’t even had a chance to look at the chart when he heard this matchmaker say:

"You’ve been unwilling to go public with your boyfriend for four years? Let me be fair here: if your boyfriend doesn’t dump you, he’s just being a masochist."

"A relationship is a two-way street. He went public, you didn’t. That makes you the scumbag."

"What’s this nonsense about workplace discrimination? If you were actually capable, who would discriminate against you for being in a relationship?"

"You’re a useless scumbag, and you’re the one feeling wronged?"

"..."

’Four years? Unilaterally keeping the relationship secret?’

Zhang Zhe clicked on the woman’s IP address and checked. It matched.

Well now, it turned out to be the same woman who had come to the matchmaking agency an hour ago.

’I can’t believe she actually went online to find other matchmakers.’

’And she even snitched on me...’

He looked at the bullet comments again:

[Is Brother Zhang this bad?]

[Listening to this woman is making me furious.]

[The guy finally came to his senses. Otherwise, his whole life would’ve been ruined.]

[Brother Zhang unleashing this woman on the world is a real crime, isn’t it?]

The woman was still trying to argue, her excuses almost identical to the ones she had used on Zhang Zhe.

But the matchmaker she was connected with clearly had a shorter fuse than Zhang Zhe.

He attacked her aggressively:

"You helped your boyfriend find a job, so all his career achievements belong to you? Then by that logic, you’ve worked at your company for so many years, why don’t you ask your boss to transfer all their shares to you?"

"Just keep bullying honest people. Sooner or later, you’ll face divine retribution."

"You’re such a piece of..."

Since the streamer had already gone that far, there was nothing Zhang Zhe could do but use his own streaming account to send two "sunglasses" gifts as a thank you.

The gift was small, but the sentiment was great.

It was his way of showing support.

Only after the stubborn woman left the stream did Zhang Zhe, still wanting more, close the Douyin app.

’This was supposed to be my clip material!’

’But it’s not a big deal. It’s hard to find oddballs of the same caliber on stream, but there are still plenty of slightly less divine specimens.’

...

He opened his own livestream on Xiaohongshu.

Zhang Zhe was a little surprised. Today, there were actually over 300 viewers waiting for him in the stream before he even started.

[Brother Zhang, you’re finally online!]

[Hahaha, people from all over are about to swarm this place.]

[Host, you’re such a menace!]

[I’ve already seen the girl you recommended connect with at least three different matchmaking streamers.]

[That girl you said has NPD is already going on a rampage.]
