159: When choosing a partner for a blind date, one must be meticulous.

"Blind date partners aren't that easy to find!"

Luo Jinglan, who was being slightly pressured by Chen Qiu, complained gloomily.

"When we pick a blind date partner, first of all, their personality must be suitable!"

"Someone too pampered and spoiled definitely won't do, and someone too hot-tempered and irritable won't work either!"

"You're out doing business all the time; could you stand coming home and having to wait on a wife who throws tantrums every day?"

"Secondly, their educational background must match!"

"You're a student from a top-tier university, after all. Even if we don't demand an undergraduate degree, they should at least have a junior college degree!"

"Otherwise, as your business grows bigger and bigger, your wife won't even understand what you're doing. If your cognitive levels don't match, how can things last?"

"Furthermore, the other party's family background shouldn't be too poor!"

"It's not that we're afraid they'll eye your money, but if they were used to low spending before and suddenly become wealthy after marrying into our family, their mindset can easily run into problems!"

"Finally, we have to screen for looks!"

"You're a big boss now. We're not talking about the level of a big star who'd give you a lot of face when you take her out, but at the very least, she shouldn't make you lose face!"

Luo Jinglan spoke at great length.

Both Chen Qiu and Chen Zhide were stunned as they listened.

"I think you've just become arrogant and full of yourself!"

"How long has our son been making money? You have so many requirements!"

"Do you think this is an emperor choosing a concubine!"

Chen Zhide spoke up to criticize her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jinglan slapped him on the shoulder.

"What do you know? This is a major life event!"

"Other girls have so many requirements; what's wrong with me having a few more when looking for a wife for my son?"

"If I could, I really would want my son to be an emperor choosing concubines!"

"It would save us from only being able to pick one, which makes it so hard to find!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiu's mouth hung open in shock.

He knew his mom was quite traditional, but he didn't expect her to be this traditional!

It seemed his own vision as a son was too narrow.

"Mom, we can lower these requirements appropriately. Let's just meet someone first!"

Chen Qiu said tactfully.

Otherwise, based on Luo Jinglan's standards, there wouldn't be many suitable girls in the nearby villages.

Hearing this, Luo Jinglan said helplessly,

"Even if I lower the standards, people wouldn't dare to come!"

"Now the whole countryside knows you're a big boss worth hundreds of millions!"

"As soon as I open my mouth, young girls feel they're not good enough for you and don't dare to agree at all."

This time, Chen Qiu was somewhat speechless.

On second thought, it was true.

After all, there were still many normal girls in this world.

And since his mom's search range was still within the towns and villages, the number of girls who could match his conditions was pitifully small!

As long as they had some self-awareness, it was quite reasonable for them not to dare to accept the invitation after hearing rumors of his net worth.

After all, blind dating wasn't like falling in love.

Even if many girls believed that earning three thousand a month and matching with someone earning ten thousand was 'marrying down,'"

"if you gave them someone earning three million or thirty million a month, most girls would stop to weigh their own worth."

Under these circumstances, those who still had the confidence to go on a blind date with him were exactly the type Chen Qiu wanted!

They were either 'Little Fairies' who wanted to strike it rich...

...or extremely confident independent women!

Either way, they would all be experts at making wishes!

Thinking of this, Chen Qiu felt he should encourage his mom, lest she change her strategy and actually find him a bunch of simple and virtuous blind date partners.

Those good girls should be left for the vast number of struggling bachelors out there.

Let him be the one to suffer the pain of encountering a 'Little Fairy'!

"Mom, I support your thinking!"

"Marriage is no small matter; we must strive for excellence!"

"Only what's screened out is the essence!"

Chen Qiu comforted her.

With her son's support, Luo Jinglan immediately became even more firm in her ideas.

Just as he finished speaking, she received a message.

Luo Jinglan opened her phone and looked, her face lighting up with joy.

"Look, someone responded just as we were talking!"

She then handed the phone to Chen Qiu.

In the photo was a short-haired girl with above-average looks and a somewhat capable aura.

"This girl is from that town above ours. I heard she works in Shenzhen as some kind of livestream salesperson, earning twenty or thirty thousand a month!"

"I happened to run into their local matchmaker a couple of days ago and had a chat. She said the girl would be coming home for the New Year in a few days."

"The news just came in; she must have agreed to the blind date."

Hearing this, Chen Qiu quickly offered some flattery.

"As expected of Mom!"

"You have connections everywhere!"

Luo Jinglan gave a light huff.

"What did you think?"

"Let me ask when she'll be free."

"Alright, I'll pour you some tea!"

After lunch.

Luo Jinglan had initially settled on a meeting time with the matchmaker.

It was set for four days later.

At this time, Chen Zhide walked up to Chen Qiu, rubbing his hands together.

"Son, the Village Party Secretary came to see me just now. They're planning to make the ancestor worship ceremony bigger this year and want you to be a representative for the village or something."

Chen Qiu was slightly stunned, though not very surprised.

According to the village's standard procedure, every few years they would find successful or socially active members of the younger generation to take the lead in organizing activities, which was a way of passing the torch.

However, his situation was obviously quite special.

Even the Town Mayor was rushing to befriend him; the village definitely wouldn't make him responsible for such trivial organizational matters.

But Chen Qiu didn't have much interest in being a village representative or spokesperson.

"Dad, you're still young and strong; you should go. I won't participate!"

"Besides, I've noticed the village's ancestral hall hasn't been renovated in years. I'll provide the money to repair and expand it!"

"I'll contact a construction company. Dad, when the time comes, you can be the point of contact for the village."

Chen Zhide was stunned upon hearing this, and a visible look of joy spread across his face.

"But, that will cost a lot of money, won't it?"

"It's fine, I'll find someone I know. It won't cost much."

"Good, good, good!"

"I'll go find Chen Hai right now to discuss this!"

Watching his father's slightly excited steps, a smile played on Chen Qiu's lips.

His father had been a 'nobody' in the village for most of his life; with an opportunity like this, it was time to let him gain some prestige!

As for the so-called construction company he knew... Chen Qiu opened his phone and looked at the message Song Xiangtong had sent not long ago.

"So the Class Monitor's grandfather is hospitalized..."

After a moment of contemplation, he made a call to Yan Li.
