It All Starts with a Blind Date

A single woman past her prime fired off the three classic questions: "Do you own a house?"

"Do you own a car?"

"Do you have a seven-figure bank balance?"

Zhang Mo: "I didn't before, but now I do!"

The woman: "Then let's get married!"

Zhang Mo: "Now that I've got everything, why would I want a beat-up car that who knows how many people have driven?"
