Eight o'clock in the evening.
A residential area in Lingshan County, Guangxi Province.
Guan Haibo was lying on the sofa holding his cell phone, chatting with his blind date with some excitement.
His blind date is named Ma Su, a native of Lingshan, 28 years old, with a good figure and appearance. She is currently working as a manager in a chain property company in Hunan Province. She is a very outstanding girl.
Guan Haibo was introduced to this girl by a matchmaker. They met for the first time today. This girl has a passionate and unrestrained personality. He felt like he was in spring breeze when chatting with her.
Moreover, through the contact and chatting during this half-day, Guan Haibo felt that the girl should have that kind of intention towards him, otherwise she would not be so enthusiastic to chat with him for so long.
Guan Haibo has been single for thirty years, and he has long wanted to find a wife to warm his bed, but he had nothing before, so naturally he did not have the conditions to find a wife.
It was not until last year that the three brothers and sisters worked together and pooled their money to buy a house in the county town, which enabled him to meet the basic conditions for finding a wife.
Guan Haibo chatted with his blind date until ten o'clock in the evening. He made an appointment with her to have dinner together the next day, and then he reluctantly said good night to her.
That night, Guan Haibo had a very ** dream. In the dream, he married Ma Su, the girl he had a blind date with, and then they lived a shameless and happy life.
When Guan Haibo woke up shivering, he had to get up and wash himself awkwardly.
Because he suffered from insomnia after waking up in the middle of the night, Guan Haibo got up much later than usual the next day. By the time he had dressed himself, there was only more than half an hour left before the agreed dinner time.
So Guan Haibo drove his cheap second-hand car to the agreed restaurant.
While waiting for Ma Su to come to the appointment, Guan Haibo had been thinking about what to talk to her about later. If the progress was too fast, would it scare her? But if there was no progress, she would have to go back to Hunan Province to continue working tomorrow, and it would be unknown when they would meet again.
The more Guan Haibo thought about it, the more headache he had. For him, who had no experience in love, he was really nervous and had no confidence at all. He didn't know what was the right thing to do.
A few minutes before the agreed time, Ma Su finally arrived. She did not come alone, but brought two men with her.
Guan Haibo was a little surprised, but he thought it was her friend, so he greeted them warmly. In his opinion, the fact that Ma Su, the blind date, could bring her friends to meet him proved that he had a different position in her heart, which was something to be happy about.
After ordering the dishes and waiting for the waiter to leave the box, they started chatting.
As they chatted, Guan Haibo gradually felt something was wrong. He heard the two men taking turns introducing themselves to Ma Su.
"Manager Ma, I'm from the next county, I'm 31 years old, and I'm a dentist. My personality is... blah blah... my hobbies are... blah blah..."
"Manager Ma, I'm a local, I'm 29 years old, my family owns three houses and two shops. I use one of the shops to sell local specialties from our county, and my business is pretty good. I don't have to pay rent, so the profit is pretty good. My personality... blah blah... hobbies... blah blah..."
When Guan Haibo heard the two men introducing themselves to Ma Su, he knew that he had misunderstood before. These two men were not Ma Su's friends, but like him, Ma Su's blind date partners.
The moment he knew the truth, Guan Haibo's face became extremely ugly.
He thought someone was interested in him last night, but it turned out to be just his illusion.
What made him most depressed was that Ma Su didn't consider his feelings at all. He asked her out for dinner, but she used this time to go on blind dates with two other men. This was really something.
He must have been blind to think she was nice yesterday.
Fortunately, Guan Haibo has been working in society for more than ten years. Even though he was angry, he did not choose to turn his face and slam the door and leave, but calmed down as quickly as possible.
No matter what, I still have to finish the meal and not give others the opportunity to laugh at me.
So, next, Guan Haibo treated himself as a spectator, watching the two men perform hard in front of Ma Su like peacocks spreading their tails.
When the meal was over, the two guys were scrambling to pay the bill, and in the end it was the local guy who got the final say on paying the bill.
After leaving the restaurant, Guan Haibo took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened WeChat. He originally wanted to put Ma Su on the blacklist, but then he thought that there was no need to be so radical and that it might be better to deal with it coldly.
Of course, Guan Haibo did not block the other party directly. She also planned to continue watching and see which of the two buddies she liked today, or if she liked neither of them.
At this moment, a strange phone call came in, and Guan Haibo answered the phone: "Hello!"
A young male voice came from the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Guan Haibo?"
Guan Haibo said, "It's me. May I ask who you are and what do you want from me?"
The young man said, "My name is Jiang Feng, and I'm the matchmaker at the Happy Marriage Agency. I'm calling you to introduce you to someone. I wonder if Mr. Guan would be willing to meet and talk?"
Guan Haibo couldn't help but swear when he heard this: "Fuck, is big data so awesome?"
Jiang Feng asked: "What big data?"
Guan Haibo said: "Nothing, just a casual complaint. Thank you for your kindness, but I am not interested in blind dates now!"
Jiang Feng said: "Mr. Guan, as far as I know, you just went on a blind date yesterday. Now you say you are not interested in blind dates. I wonder if you don't trust me or if you have taken a fancy to the blind date yesterday?"
"That's amazing. It just happened yesterday, but your matchmaking agency received the news so quickly. It seems that you matchmakers also keep each other informed!" Guan Haibo exclaimed, and then said: "Matchmaker Jiang, it's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust all matchmakers.
Because my first blind date experience was so bad, I have now figured it out. Instead of wasting time and money on blind dates, it is better to find someone on my own. So, matchmaker Jiang, you don’t have to waste your time with me. Go find someone else!”
Jiang Feng said: "Mr. Guan, you are generalizing. I don't deny that there are many unreliable matchmakers in this world, but there are also matchmakers who are worthy of everyone's trust.
I have a nickname on the Internet called Master Jiang. Mr. Guan, you can check my information on the Internet. If you trust me, give me a call back. If you really can’t trust me, then forget it!
After all, fate is something that sometimes you really can’t force.”
"Okay, I'll take a look."
"Well, I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Guan. Goodbye!"
"Okay, bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Guan Haibo searched the Internet for information about Master Jiang out of curiosity. The more he read, the more surprised he was. He had never paid attention to news in this area before and didn't even know that there was such an awesome matchmaker master in their Guangxi Province.
After reading Master Jiang's information, Guan Haibo couldn't help but call Jiang Feng back.
As soon as the call was connected, Guan Haibo couldn't wait to ask, "Matchmaker Jiang, are you really the Master Jiang from the Happy Marriage Agency?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I'm in the county seat of your county now. If it's convenient for you, Mr. Guan, can we meet and talk?"
Guan Haibo said a little excitedly: "Okay, Master Jiang, where are you now? I'll come find you right away."
"I'm at XX Square, come over!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
…
Five minutes later.
Guan Haibo saw Jiang Feng. He had seen Jiang Feng's photo when he was looking up information just now, so he recognized the handsome young man in front of him at a glance. He was the nationally renowned matchmaker master.
Guan Haibo greeted him and said with emotion: "Master Jiang, I didn't expect it was really you. I am honored that such a big shot like you came to see me in person."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Guan, you are too polite. I am a matchmaker who helps lovers like you to get together. It is normal for me to come to you."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and Guan Haibo couldn't help but complain, "Master Jiang, you also know that I went on a blind date yesterday. I quite like the girl I was originally dating. I chatted with her until ten o'clock last night, and even asked her to have dinner with me today.
As a result, do you know what she did when she came over for dinner today? "
Jiang Feng said, "What did she do?"
Guan Haibo was so angry when he thought of the scene just now that he said angrily, "She brought two men here. If those two men were her friends, I would not only not be angry, but I might even be happy.
But what I couldn't believe was that the two men she brought were actually her blind date partners just like me. In other words, while she was dating me, she was also dating other men. She was really an alternative time management master, making the most of her time."
Jiang Feng asked: "Were you all introduced by the same matchmaker?"
Guan Haibo shook his head and said, "I asked, and they were introduced by different matchmakers."
Jiang Feng said: "The matchmaker is only responsible for negligence. The main problem lies with your blind date. He doesn't know how to respect others!"
Guan Haibo waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this disgusting woman. Master Jiang, you said before that you would introduce me to a girl. I wonder which girl you are introducing me to?"
Jiang Feng briefly introduced her: "She is from Jiangsu Province, 25 years old, 1.62 meters tall, with a bachelor's degree, and a pretty face. Her parents died young, and she has been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child. After her grandmother passed away a few years ago, she has no other relatives in this world."
Hearing this, Guan Haibo felt a sense of resonance in his heart. They were both orphans, and compared to the other party, he at least had two younger sisters.
"Master Jiang, she is five years younger than me, has a bachelor's degree, and is very beautiful. I haven't even graduated from high school. Will she be interested in me?" Guan Haibo couldn't help asking.
Jiang Feng sighed and said, "Mr. Guan, you don't have to worry about this problem. Her conditions are indeed good, but it's a pity that she didn't open her eyes and married a mama's boy."
Guan Haibo was a little surprised when he heard this, and frowned slightly and asked, "She's married?"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, she was married and is currently a divorced pregnant woman."
Guan Haibo's eyes widened instantly: "She is a divorced pregnant woman?"
Jiang Feng naturally understood his feelings and said, "Yes, she divorced after she became pregnant."
"Isn't this... just looking for someone to take over?"
Guan Haibo's face turned ugly. If the introducer was not Master Jiang, the nationally renowned matchmaker, but any other unknown matchmaker, he would probably have been unable to hold back and started cursing.
Damn, which normal man is willing to be the scapegoat?
Jiang Feng took out a cigarette specially used for dealing with people, handed it to Guan Haibo and said, "Mr. Guan, I understand your feelings. If she wasn't such a good match for you, I wouldn't introduce her to you."
Guan Haibo took the cigarette, took out a lighter and lit it, then smoked silently.
"Mr. Guan, the reputation of a scapegoat is not very good, but compared to reputation, I personally think it is more important to find the right person to marry."
Jiang Feng said frankly, "I've seen too many marriages where both parties are exhausted because of incompatible personalities. Those people's lives are so miserable. If he could change, let alone being a scapegoat, he would even be willing to choose to be single for the rest of his life."
Guan Haibo's heart moved, and he thought of the examples of quarrels around him. He nodded and said, "A marriage between incompatible personalities is indeed a tragedy."
Jiang Feng said: "So, Mr. Guan, don't reject her just because she is a divorced pregnant woman. Otherwise, you will miss the greatest happiness in your life."
Upon hearing this, Guan Haibo continued to smoke one cigarette after another.
It all comes down to the same thing. No normal man would be willing to be a scapegoat. He admitted that Master Jiang had a point, but when he thought about marrying a pregnant woman and helping other men raise children, it was impossible for him to say that he didn't feel disgusted at all.
However, Master Jiang also clearly stated that the divorced pregnant woman introduced to him was the greatest happiness of his life. This was the result calculated by Master Jiang himself, and Guan Haibo really had to believe it.
After all, Master Jiang is a person of such status that he would not lie to him about such things. The marriages arranged by Master Jiang that have been exposed on the Internet have all proved Master Jiang's ability in calculating marriages.
At this moment, it was as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, one was the villain who wanted to take over and made him feel uncomfortable, and the other was the villain who wanted to be happy and made him full of expectations.
They fought back and forth, and for a while neither of them could do anything to the other.
Jiang Feng also understood his inner struggle, and did not urge him. Instead, he took out his cell phone, pulled out a photo of Li Mei before she showed her pregnancy, and handed it to him, saying, "Mr. Guan, this is her photo. Take a look at her to see if she meets your aesthetic standards."
