Chapter 258: Chapter 256: An Expert at Dating

The only son of a high-ranking government official, tall, rich, and handsome, a financial elite earning two million a year, with an overseas background.

This was the definition of a talented young elite.

A guy like him had it made both at home and abroad. In China, he had his parents’ resources to help him, and overseas, he had his work experience and academic background...

If this guy wanted to start a business, it would be a breeze for him to gather a few good buddies and raise tens of millions in seed money. Many angel investors and VCs would be more than willing to invest in someone like him.

"Sis, your boyfriend is a true ’hexagonal warrior’."

"To be honest, the only people in the Chinese dating market who could outshine him would be second or third-generation princelings, or the sons of the absolute wealthiest families."

[I feel like this guy could easily find an A9 girl.]

[He’s the perfect son-in-law in the eyes of the rich. There’s no way he’d go for a girl from an A8 family.]

[Give it up, sis. You’re not in the same league.]

[The key is that this guy is too outstanding. After dating him, she’ll never be able to look at other men the same way again.]

Someone in the bullet comments asked a question that Zhang Zhe found very reasonable:

Sis, do you have to find a man who’s so far out of your league? How is that any different from being hell-bent on marrying a billionaire’s son?

However, this woman hadn’t called in to ask for advice on breaking up.

She was asking how to move the relationship forward.

Zhang Zhe was still inclined to help her push the relationship along, to at least do what he could.

"You’re aware of how outstanding your boyfriend is, right?"

"Of course. I know he’s amazing. You wouldn’t find one person in a hundred who’s more outstanding than him among our peers."

"Really? Are you truly aware?" Zhang Zhe was skeptical of her words, so he pressed further. "Have you ever actively asked him for gifts?"

"No, he gives them on his own."

"Then when you’re together, who usually covers more of the expenses?"

"It’s actually pretty much 50/50. Usually, I’ll treat him once, then he’ll treat me once."

"How long have you been together?"

"By the end of this month, it’ll be exactly a year and a half."

"Alright." Zhang Zhe nodded. "It seems you really do get it."

The questions he had just asked basically ruled out the possibility of her being a short-term option and confirmed that the woman wasn’t excessively demanding.

For outstanding men who have no trouble finding dates, a woman being overly demanding is often the number one reason they kick someone to the curb.

In fact, it’s pretty much the same for normal men, but these average guys can easily turn into simps when they meet a "6-out-of-10" beauty.

The caller’s boyfriend was definitely not in that situation.

For him, finding a "6-out-of-10" beauty was probably a piece of cake.

"Since you understand, this makes things easier. I’ll be direct."

"When your boyfriend gets married, he’ll either look for the daughter of a rich family, or a girl from a less well-off family but who has an exceptionally good personality."

"Simply put, you either provide emotional value or economic value."

"Which direction are you choosing?"

"Emotional value, of course," the woman answered without a second of hesitation. "My family’s financial situation is actually pretty similar to his, aside from the household registration."

"Alright, then let’s see what your personality is like and to what extent you can tolerate him."

"For example, if your boyfriend went to a KTV for business entertainment with a client and didn’t come home all night, could you turn a blind eye?"

[What a sharp question.]

[The host gets finance guys. They’re never short on women.]

[KTV for business is a bit tame. He should have asked about him having a mistress.]

[Big shots in finance all have mistresses.]

Zhang Zhe’s question was very practical. In fact, just as the bullet comments suggested, he had already tried his best to make the question less pointed.

In reality, exchanging sex for resources is an extremely common practice in the finance world.

For a tall, rich, and handsome finance guy like her boyfriend, there were plenty of beautiful women around him who would want to spend a night with him, possibly for nothing more than a single project.

"Sir, what you’re asking... that has nothing to do with personality, does it?"

The woman didn’t answer Zhang Zhe’s question directly. It was obvious she couldn’t quite accept it.

Zhang Zhe pursed his lips and shook his head. This was going to be difficult.

"Sis, I’ll be honest with you. Your boyfriend is capable of marrying up, and it wouldn’t be difficult for him at all. Do you understand?"

"I know," the woman said proactively. "Before he met me, he was actually dating a girl from an A10 family."

"But he couldn’t stand her personality, so he was the one who broke up with her."

"An A10?" Zhang Zhe wasn’t surprised at all. "He certainly qualifies."

"So, think about it. Your boyfriend gave up the chance to become the son-in-law of an A10 family to choose you. That means you have to max out your emotional value."

"In your relationship with him, even if he’s the one who makes a mistake, you have to accept and forgive him unconditionally."

[Is it necessary to be so subservient?]

[That’s what it’s like dating a ’hexagonal warrior.’ It’s pretty much like marrying into a super-rich family.]

[This guy will most likely be part of a super-rich family in the future himself.]

[An ordinary girl marrying the only son of a top-tier family will definitely have to swallow her pride.]

[If she really marries him, it counts as crossing class lines.]

"I think as long as it’s not an issue of infidelity, I can accept other minor mistakes."

"Actually, while we’ve been dating, he has made mistakes often, but since they weren’t matters of principle, I’ve basically always forgiven him unconditionally."

"Alright!" Zhang Zhe gave the woman a thumbs-up.

To be able to do that, she had already surpassed 99% of women. No wonder the guy had been with her for a year and a half. She deserved it.

To put it crudely, even if she were a gold digger, if she could act this well, she’d deserve every penny she could get.

It couldn’t be helped. Comparisons are odious. In this day and age, women who can tolerate a man’s mistakes are few and far between.

This top-tier finance guy was probably looking for exactly this type of woman.

After getting Zhang Zhe’s approval, the woman gained a bit more courage and proactively asked:

"Sir, so what should I do now to move things toward marriage?"

"Have you mentioned marriage to your boyfriend?"

"I have, but he said he’s having some trouble with his career right now and doesn’t want to get married for the time being."

"Have you brought it up again since then?"

"No, I felt the timing wasn’t right."

"Impressive!" Zhang Zhe gave her another thumbs-up.

That was a textbook move. Strike and retreat, then play the long game. If this were an assassin’s ranking, she’d be the gatekeeper for the Earthly Rankings.

[She’s actually really clear-headed.]

[This man should be hers.]

[Go for it, sis! I’m rooting for you now too!]

[I feel like the guy is just keeping her around while he looks for someone better.]

[But her own qualifications are so much lower. The guy might not have even thought about marrying her.]

"Sis, I don’t normally like to give people specific strategies."

"Because I’m afraid my intentions might be good, but you’ll mess up the execution and damage my reputation."

"But I have a feeling you might have what it takes to execute it well."

"So here’s the simplest method I can give you: make this man unable to live without you. Start with the basics of his daily life—food, clothing, housing, and transportation—and slowly fill every aspect of his world."

"Do you understand what I mean?"
