Unexpectedly, fate gave him a big surprise in the end!
Although he couldn't possibly use his face to cross social classes and become a city dweller overnight.
But it seems he can actually make money off that face!
Just when Chen Zhiyi was feeling resentful and disappointed because he couldn't marry a girl from the city, a city man approached him.
The man was about the same age as Chen Zhiyi, but he was extremely ugly, and even looked a bit scary.
Unfortunately, apart from his appearance, everything else about the other person—from their clothes and accessories to their watch and bicycle—was something Chen Zhiyi couldn't afford even if he sold everything he owned.
Although the man looked quite well-off, Chen Zhiyi was certain that he didn't know him at all and couldn't understand why the man had come to find him.
Fortunately, the other party didn't waste any words. After confirming Chen Zhiyi's identity, they directly stated their purpose.
It turned out that the man came to him to ask Chen Zhiyi to help him go on a blind date, which is called "proxy blind date".
When Chen Zhiyi heard this, he found it utterly absurd.
The main reason is that he looks so different from the man in front of him. Although there are very few people who can afford to take photos these days, judging from the man's family situation, he must be the kind of person who can afford to take photos.
If he goes on a blind date, wouldn't he exchange photos with the other person first?
Even if we didn't actually exchange photos.
Chen Zhiyi went on the blind date in his place, so what happens afterward?
What if the other person takes a liking to him? Does he have to take the place of that man and get married?
Wouldn't that make him a liar?
That's certainly not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he doesn't have the ability to keep deceiving people indefinitely.
If they get caught, they'll definitely be going to jail!
Chen Zhiyi refused immediately upon hearing this.
But the man simply pulled out a wad of cash and said it to him.
"I don't need you to do anything else. I just need you to go with the matchmaker to meet that woman in my name. Whether she likes you or not, you don't need to worry about it. I won't reveal anything about your real identity, and I guarantee that she won't be able to find you!"
Chen Zhiyi, who had initially intended to refuse with righteous indignation, suddenly stared wide-eyed when he saw the sum of money in the man's hand.
Because what the man pulled out were two ten-yuan bills!
That is, twenty yuan.
Don't underestimate twenty yuan; it's almost as much as the wages of many workers in the city!
For families in the countryside, some might not be able to save even twenty yuan in a whole year.
So when faced with such a large sum of money, Chen Zhiyi really couldn't help but be tempted.
Despite being attracted to him, he was still a little worried.
If we really have to bear any responsibility afterward, twenty yuan really won't be enough.
And he at least needs to figure out why this man in front of him asked him to go on a blind date in his place.
The man could only suppress his impatience and briefly explain the reason.
The man said that his family had used their connections to get him a blind date with a girl. The two families were well-matched, and if they got married, it would be a good thing for his family.
It's just that I heard the girl is a bit picky about looks and has requirements for her partner's appearance.
His appearance is only that of a normal person, or even, to put it bluntly, a little more frightening than a normal person.
So if he were to go on a blind date with his current face, he definitely wouldn't succeed.
But after seeing the girl's photo, he liked her quite a bit, plus her family was well-off.
In short, the girl met all of their family's requirements.
With Chen Zhiyi's face in his place to go on blind dates, the chances of success are very high.
After a blind date, he would find various excuses to temporarily avoid meeting the other person, and then try to finalize the marriage arrangements.
In that case, he will only actually meet that girl on their wedding day.
By the time that time comes, even if she sees him, the news of their marriage will have already been released.
Is she going to call off the engagement?
Even if she wants to call off the engagement, don't her parents have any pride?
What do their relatives, friends, and neighbors think of their family?
Unless they are truly willing to lose face and make a big fuss, regardless of what others think of them.
If that's the case, they can deny it to the death and say that the girl deliberately made an excuse, that she was the one who went on the blind date with him, and that she changed her mind at the last minute and made up an excuse to slander them for arranging a blind date.
After all, only the two of them know what happened on the day of the blind date.
As long as Chen Zhiyi hides well and can't be found, this matter won't be exposed.
When Chen Zhiyi heard what the man said, it seemed that he had considered everything very thoroughly.
Besides, this man just wanted to get married; he wasn't doing anything bad.
So after thinking about it, he decisively accepted the man's money and agreed to help the man find a blind date.
A few days after the cooperation was agreed upon, the man informed him that he had to go on a blind date the next day.
Before going, the man spent some time explaining his and his family's general situation to Chen Zhiyi, so that Chen Zhiyi wouldn't be exposed during the blind date.
Chen Zhiyi used all his limited cleverness on these things, remembering everything very clearly.
So on the day of the blind date, he played the role of the "man" very well, and his interactions with the man's parents were completely natural. His speech and behavior were also very appropriate.
With his handsome face, he won the girl's favor with almost no effort.
When they met, Chen Zhiyi could clearly sense that the girl had feelings for him.
He knew in his heart that the matter had likely been settled.
As for that girl, she's actually quite good-looking and comes from a good family.
If she really is his blind date, that would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, no.
Since that's not the case, then he doesn't need to feel sorry for her anymore.
After all, although that man wasn't as good-looking as her, at least he was rich and wouldn't let her live a hard life.
So she didn't actually lose out.
After thinking it over, he felt justified in continuing his scam.
When he parted ways with the girl he had met on a blind date, he smiled at her and said, insincerely, that he would invite her to the park again in a while.
The girl blushed as she looked at him, lowered her head and whispered "okay," her eyes filled with anticipation for that day.
