To marry the Li familyās daughter, you first need to have a net worth of 10 million. If you donāt have at least 10 million, thereās nothing to discuss!
Once youāve met the 10 million net worth requirement, then you can proceed with discussions. In fact, as long as you have 10 million, everything else is negotiable; you could even take their daughter away without any issue.
This is just...
Lin Fan was at a loss for words. Were the Old Li couple arranging a marriage for their daughter, or selling her? It really felt like they were selling her.
"Tsk tsk..."
The people around were all clicking their tongues; many were shocked by the 10 million net worth demand.
Some old men and women began trying to negotiate with the Old Li couple.
"My son doesnāt have 10 million, but he has a house, a car, and a monthly salary of 50,000. He can meet all the basic living needs. What do you think?"
"He might not have a 10 million net worth. How about 5 million?"
"My son owns his own company, with an annual net profit of around one million. In a few years, heāll save enough to have 10 million. Heās a potential stock, why not consider him?"
Watching these old men and women haggle, this didnāt look like matchmaking at all but rather a large-scale trading market.
However, no matter what these old men and women said, the Old Li couple remained firm.
"Everyone, my daughter is very outstanding, as you all know. She has exceptional looks and is a high achiever. She currently owns her own company, but because sheās busy with work, she hasnāt had time to date, so weāre looking for a match. After careful consideration, we feel that there arenāt many people in the world who are worthy of our daughter. A net worth of 10 million is a benchmark that wonāt change because we believe that only men of this caliber are worthy of our exceptional daughter," said Old Li, his tone filled with pride.
Many of the old men and women showed disappointed expressions, shaking their heads and sighing, ready to give up.
The Li familyās daughter is indeed very outstanding, but the requirements are too high; more than half of the people present were eliminated.
"Isnāt it just a 10 million net worth? Thatās no big deal. It looks like this match of ours is going to work out!"
An old man smugly said at this point.
Everyone turned to look at this old man.
The old man said, "Our family is local to Yun City. We received several houses in compensation for relocation, totaling twenty to thirty million. Is that worthy of your daughter?"
The Old Li couple obviously became interested. Old Li said, "This old fellow, come over and leave your contact information. We can have a deeper conversation. Letās put it this way, anyone whose son has a net worth of 10 million can proactively come to exchange contact information with us for further understanding. As for those who donāt meet the criteria, please donāt disturb us. Thank you for your cooperation!"
"Our family is also local to Yun City and also received relocation compensation. Look at my son..."
All of a sudden, those with a 10 million net worth eagerly rushed over to the Old Li couple to exchange contact information.
"Is a net worth of 10 million really that important? I just donāt get it. Are you looking for a son-in-law, or are you selling your daughter?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The speaker was a man in his thirties, plump, with an ordinary appearance. Just by his looks, there was nothing striking about him, the type youād easily overlook in a crowd.
This fellow appeared somewhat agitated at the moment, clearly provoked by the scene he witnessed, and was quite unhappy, unable to hold back from speaking up.
His words successfully attracted everyoneās attention, and suddenly, the crowd fell silent, all eyes on this man.
"Sorry, everyone. Iām here with my mom today. She comes here every day looking for a match for me but to no avail. I donāt want her to work so hard, so I accompanied her today. I told her if we donāt find a suitable match today, we wonāt come again," the man said.
Beside him, a sixty-something elderly lady, with a head full of gray hair and an apologetic smile, said, "My son is quite straightforward. Please donāt mind him. Actually, my son is very outstanding. Heās my pride."
The manās words clearly offended the Old Li couple, and their expressions werenāt looking good.
"Hehehe, young man, you seem to have great insight. You say weāre selling our daughter by talking about money; all right then, let me ask you, if we donāt discuss money, then what should we discuss?" said Old Li with a chuckle.
The man said, "Please donāt get me wrong; Iām not saying you canāt talk about money. Iām just saying that setting a clear price is really off-putting. Finding a match is about living life together; it shouldnāt be limited by money."
Old Li said, "Youāre so agitated because you surely donāt have a 10 million net worth. Iāll make an exception and give you a chance to introduce yourself."
The man said, "Hello, everyone. My surname is Chen. You can call me Little Chen. Iām a local of Yun City. Unfortunately, I didnāt get any relocation compensation. My parents are both teachers, and with years of savings, they bought a house. We arenāt Da Fu or Da Gui locally, but we have no problems with basic necessities. I received a good education from a young age, finished my bachelorās, masterās, and PhD. After graduation, I worked for Brother Guās global internet giant company. Later on, due to my passion for teaching, I resigned and returned to Yun City to become a teacher like my parents. Besides my main job, I do some side gigs, earning around 50,000 a month. Now Iām getting older, and my parents are worried, so Iām looking for a suitable match to marry."
After hearing the manās introduction, the crowd started buzzing with discussion.
"I think this young man is not bad. A monthly salary of 50,000, and heās local to Yun City."
"Being local to Yun City is good. Who knows, they might hit it big overnight if thereās another relocation."
"Didnāt you hear him say they didnāt get any relocation compensation now? Donāt even think about it."
"Thatās a pity, but having a local household registration is still a plus."
Almost all the old men and women ignored the manās appearance. Their main focus was on income and household registration.
Old Li chuckled, "Little Chen, right? For ordinary families, you are indeed not bad. Being a local to Yun City gives you a significant advantage. Unfortunately, without a 10 million net worth, you donāt meet our standards, and we wonāt consider you!"
Old Liās wife showed a look of disdain, bluntly saying, "Donāt waste our time. I see youāre so ordinary yet so confident. These days, if not talking about money, do you think weād talk about the heart? The thing is, do you even have the qualifications to talk about the heart!"
The man was stunned. He really didnāt expect that with a monthly income of 50,000, heād be looked down upon when searching for a match.
"Haha!"
Someone nearby couldnāt hold back a laugh.
Everyone turned to see who laughed. It was a young man, plainly dressed, sitting under a banyan tree in a corner of the park.
Lin Fan.
Lin Fan couldnāt help but laugh, observing the matchmaking corner felt like watching a large-scale live absurd comedy.
Lin Fanās laughter made the Old Li couple unhappy.
"Young man, what are you laughing at? Are you here for matchmaking too?" Old Li looked down at Lin Fan and asked.
