Chapter 22: Bargaining (1)
Ling Ran made a fuss and said, "The first one is Wang Xia, do you want a female doctor?"
Shao Chengzhi laughed: "You actually want to introduce Wang Xia to me, what, you want to make a matchmaker fee for nothing." However, don't worry about this money, you still want to get a piece of the pie if you can't even earn Li Zhao and his wife. โ
Ling Ran smiled: "Why, Wang Xia doesn't have an appetite for you." So what are you looking for?"
Shao Chengzhi looked at Ling Ran and smiled: "Men looking for wives, first, of course, they have to find beautiful ones." My fellow villagers (Wang Xia and Wen Shuqin) often discuss the question of what kind of wife a man should marry, and they think that marrying someone is both wise and virtuous, with connotation and inner beauty. I can't help but want to laugh every time I hear it, I really don't understand men, what is inner beauty, if a woman has no external beauty, who cares if you have inner beauty. Anyway, my wife is the first thing to look like,"
Ling Ran smiled: "Have you ever looked in the mirror yourself?"
Shao Chengzhi smiled: "It's because I don't look good, so I like beautiful women." And I don't like delicate classical beauties like Lin Daiyu, I like sexy stunner beauties, I like people with personality and hot bodies, such as Maria Ozawa, I'm her super brainless fan, I specially bought an external hard drive to store her A-V films. A man marries a wife, and marrying such a woman is not in vain in this life. โ
Ling Ran was dumbfounded: "Mariaozawa, she is of mixed American and Japanese descent." This seems to be a bit demanding."
"Well, as long as I'm pretty, sexy, and coquettish enough in bed, I'll be okay with it. Shao Chengzhi said magnanimously.
"Why should a stunner like Maria Ozawa marry you, cut. I don't want to think about how much I earn a year. Ling Ran rolled her eyes, "Behave like her in bed, well, you have to have good physical strength, you can't rely on women alone, what about men, do you have such good physical strength, can you not fall down? โ
"I play tennis three times a week, and on days when I don't play tennis, no matter how late I work overtime, I run on the treadmill for an hour, 8 hours. (That's 8 miles an hour, which is equivalent to running 13 kilometers.) Shao Chengzhi didn't know if he couldn't fall with a gun, but he was still confident in his physical strength.
Ling Ran was speechless, it seems that this Shao Chengzhi is a standard multinational company elite life model, clothing, overtime, fitness, sex-life, are all famous brands.
Shao Chengzhi continued: "Second, I want to find someone who is close to me in age. Preferably, if you are younger than me, within three years old, if you are older than me, within two years old, girls of this age, basically fall in love for the sake of marriage, they know what they want, and they will not change direction because of a momentary temptation. Of course, I can accept it over 25 years old, but I don't want a 25-year-old girl who hasn't been in a relationship yet. I'm going to get married, and I'm very busy, if a girl hasn't been in a relationship and wants to find romance in me, I don't have the talent, I don't have the time. โ
Ling Ran is funny, the best thing for a Chinese man to find a wife is a blank piece of paper, not only is the โกโก complete, but it is best not to even hold the man's hand. This Shao Chengzhi is good, you have to find someone with experience.
Ling Ran found that Shao Chengzhi was indeed more Westernized. After women arrive in the United States, they will be very quickly westernized, like meat buns beating dogs, there is no return, but men tend to hold on to traditional Chinese virtues, including men from big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Shao Chengzhi, didn't he come out of the poorest countryside?
"Third, I want to find a master's degree or above, good English, but not a language, or a pure liberal arts graduate, English, Chinese, history and other majors, I don't consider it. I came to Beijing on assignment, and the contract is for three years, and if I am not recalled after three years, my treatment will be localized, and my salary and benefits will be greatly reduced. Therefore, after three years, I have a high probability of returning to the United States to work, and I need my wife to have a high degree and good English, so that it will be easy to find a job or study in the United States. Although I can afford to support my wife and children, under the premise of having a choice, I choose a professional woman, not for that salary, but also for that security. In the United States, there is no one who has never been laid off once in a lifetime. โ
"Fourth, I want to find a girl with good family conditions, or a girl with a good income and who can be ** financially. I'm not trying to get the woman's money, but I have financial problems myself. Shao Chengzhi talked about the core issue, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, stared at Ling Ran, and observed her reaction: "There is one thing I must explain first, although I have an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars, I have to pay taxes and other deductions from China and the United States, including 401k (American pension plan), so less than half of the actual hand." Maybe in a few years, my salary will go up, but for now, I'm not as financially well-off as I sound. โ
"My parents are farmers, they are over 65 years old this year, they have reached retirement age, but they have no retirement income, and they have to rely on their children to support them. I have many siblings, nephews and nieces, and my hometown is very poor, so it is completely impossible for me to get married without supporting my parents, or not financially supporting my other relatives. This is the first prerequisite for me to get married, and if you can't accept this, you don't need to meet. โ
"In addition, I have a more stringent requirement, I will definitely subsidize my family, and I will take care of my parents-in-law, but my wife cannot ask me to treat both families equally financially. Theoretically, I should treat everyone equally, and give my wife as much assistance as I give to my family. But I know very well that for now, I don't have the means, I can't afford my own family, my family, plus my wife's family. My wife has to be able to accept this discrimination, and I will compensate for this inequality elsewhere, but I can't be equal, she has to accept this reality. That's why I'm looking for girls with good financial conditions. โ
"Li Zhao repeatedly advised me to find the right person, so he suggested that I marry Wang Xia. But I've seen what it's like to marry the right wife, I've seen examples, my eldest brother and second brother are both, and the end result is to make trouble for yourself. But they are the kind of men who have to get married, but I don't have to have a wife, at least I don't see any reason why I have to get married in five years, so I will never consider the girl who is right with me. I don't need my wife's family to help me, but I want my wife's family not to be financially strain me. I want her parents to have a secure income, I want her to have few brothers and sisters, and if she is an only child, it is ideal. I also need her to have a ** income, preferably a high salary, and I hope my wife does not count on me to improve her living conditions. โ
Ling Ran raised her eyes, and the two looked at each other across the table, the air was so tense that it was about to explode.
Ling Ran began to point her fingers: "It's not enough to be beautiful, it's also sexy, it's not enough to be mature, it's also necessary to be rational, it's not enough to have a high education, you also need to be good at English, it's not enough to have good family conditions, you have to bring your own salary, don't you think you're a little shameless with a high salary?"
Shao Chenzhi smiled: "Those who wish to take the bait, anyway, my conditions have already been opened." I'm not going to go down for it, and if I can't find the right one, I can wait a few more years. โ
Ling Ran nodded: "When the time comes, your salary will go up, and you can set higher requirements." Anyway, young girls push the back waves, and you will never be short of candidates. โ
Compared with Ye Ling, Shao Chengzhi's requirements for choosing a mate are indeed not high, and a girl from a middle-class family can still meet his needs, which is also because Shao Chengzhi has a shortcoming - the family conditions are not good. But this shortcoming, with his salary and room for salary to rise (IT men in Silicon Valley, 200,000 a year abound, as well as income from equity subscriptions), if he doesn't get married, the income will be used to support his hometown, but I'm afraid that it won't exist in a few years. Moreover, from a practical point of view, Shao Chengzhi really has no urgency to get married, he is willing to consider marriage now, but he definitely does not have to consider marriage.
Ling Ran had never been to Silicon Valley, so she didn't know what the situation was like over there. She has worked in New York for all these years, and there are 210,000 more women than men in New York - which is really a human life, or at least a woman's life. In New York, there are all kinds of rich and handsome. These men, in addition to not getting married and not paying money, can satisfy all the sexuality of women - fantasy Lingran's oriental face, sexy body, all kinds of men in New York make dinner appointments (AA system), all men have one mouth: "Sweetheart, I will never delay you, you can find a boyfriend while dating me." "Phew, it's worse than Ye Ling.
Ling Ran picked up the coffee cup and took a sip: "Are you burdened?
