Jiang Yuhua was over twenty-five and still didn't much like dealing with people. Her family was getting anxious, so her friends tried a roundabout approach and persuaded her to find someone to chat with online first.
Through the internet, Jiang Yuhua downloaded a popular new dating app. Among all the male users who immediately asked a barrage of personal questions or wanted to meet up, one stood out like a rock in a stream.
"Given the current market, I wouldn't invest in this product. I suggest you cash out as soon as possible."
"XX Company has been having trouble with its cash flow lately. But the entire senior management team resigned because the new owner wants to shake things up."
"Don't be a fan of that celebrity. There's dirt on him."
"..."
At first, her friends all said the man was no good, that he was putting on airs.
Later, Jiang Yuhua realized that everything he said came true.
Her friends said a man who knew that much wasn't necessarily single. Even if he was, he might be divorced with two kids. They told her not to get fooled.
Jiang Yuhua said it was fine. They weren't going to meet in person.
Later, he asked if she wanted to meet.
Before Jiang Yuhua could refuse, the domineering CEO next door knocked on her door and introduced himself. "Yu Yanlin, male, twenty-five, 185 centimeters tall, weight..."
The important part was his last sentence: "Single, no bad habits. Am I qualified to be your online boyfriend?"
Jiang Yuhua: "..."
At a friend's request, Yu Yanlin signed up as a user to try out a social app for meeting strangers, developed by his friend's company.
After registering, he found the place was a real mess.
Just then, the algorithm recommended a woman in his city. Yu Yanlin greeted her first, but he was lukewarm, and she didn't say much in return.
As they chatted, her high school came up by chance, and Yu Yanlin realized they were schoolmates.
Later, she began to remind him more and more of someone he remembered. Yu Yanlin kept his thoughts to himself, until their misunderstandings piled up and she came to think he was a middle-aged divorcee with two kids. Yu Yanlin decided this couldn't go on.
That night, he knocked on his neighbor's door and politely asked, "If we met in person after dating online, do you think I'd make the cut?"
