Chapter 917: Blind Date 1
On the screen, Li Ming's features were good and very delicate, but these delicate features on his face somehow had nothing to do with handsomeness.
He could only be considered an ordinary person.
However, Li Ming didn't feel inferior because of his looks; instead, he was quite lively.
It seemed as if everyone in his family was high-value in appearance; he, an ordinary person, seemed even more noble.
Lu Er felt that such a personality was quite good.
Just like her carefree nature, do whatever makes you happy; as long as you live vigorously, that's good.
As a matchmaker, Yang Panpan was quite competent.
"Is your family from Qiongzhou?"
Li Ming shook his head.
"No, my family is from Te Qu."
Yang Panpan furrowed her brows.
"Then you don't meet the requirements."
Li Ming hurried to explain.
"I'm currently starting a business in Qiongzhou, right near Azure Rainbow Media."
"I was attracted here by the big film city that Azure Rainbow Media is currently building."
"I work in fast-moving consumer goods and audiovisual creation."
"We do whatever is hot."
"We are currently making home-drama short plays."
"Numb and spicy, hot!"
"Those who are interested can go check it out."
Upon hearing that, Yang Panpan's eyes turned sharp.
Li Ming realized he had broken the rule and hurried to explain.
"I'm not advertising; I mean, we are a small studio that survives by revolving around Azure Rainbow Media's film city."
"I have been staying in Qiongzhou year-round."
"So I am quite in line with Sister Lu Er's requirements."
"Sister Lu Er?"
Yang Panpan, Lu Er, and the people in the live broadcast room were all left speechless by his words.
"Little puppy?"
Lu Er originally thought he was quite suitable, but upon hearing that, she instantly lost interest.
Yang Panpan is her spokesperson.
"How old are you?"
Li Ming said confidently.
"I'm 26, what's wrong?"
Yang Panpan looked at her team.
"This is what you've screened."
The assistant gestured for her not to rush, and she looked at Li Ming and said solemnly.
"This is a serious matchmaking session; don't come here to cause trouble."
Li Ming became dissatisfied.
"Yang Panpan, if you say that, I won't agree."
"What era is this now, still sticking to age limits so rigidly?"
"Besides, what's wrong with being older?"
"Don't you know women live longer than men?"
"If I find someone my own age and young, when I pass first, leaving her alone, wouldn't she be lonely?"
"Someone like Sister Lu Er would be great; we can't be born the same year, month, and day, but by then we could roughly pass away together—how nice would that be?"
"Moreover, older people know how to care for others, and they'll tolerate my little flaws because of their age; besides, Sister Lu Er is a natural-born wife's holy body—even if she's a bit older, she's worth it."
"Anyway, I think it's quite good."
Yang Panpan felt a bit of resentment toward this guy who dared to call her by her given name.
"You think it's fine, but Sister Lu Er doesn't."
"She's looking for someone to marry, not to play house with you."
"She tolerates you; will you tolerate her?"
"Don't, in a few years, dislike her for being older, then you could still find someone younger—what would Sister Lu Er do?"
"Once a woman passes her prime age, you know how hard it is to remarry?"
"If you're here to cause trouble, get lost now; otherwise, you'll start and abandon things, and Grandma won't let you off."
Lu Er felt Yang Panpan was absolutely right; the age gap is too big.
He says he doesn't mind, but who knows if it's genuine.
"Li Ming, you're still young; otherwise, let's just leave it at that!"
At this point, Li Ming became anxious, setting aside Yang Panpan's threats.
"No, I'm really serious."
"Let me tell you, I'm still a virgin, and I'm very devoted in feelings."
"Moreover, don't think that just because I'm young, you can treat me as a child."
I'm mature for my age; everyone in our studio has been with us since childhood, and I get along well with them.
I'm not that kind of naive youngster.
I understand things like family responsibilities.
Moreover, our situation is rather special: you need to focus on your own career, I need to focus on mine, so I've already prepared to be completely detached from traditional marriage.
Also, we share common topics, so the gap in our understanding won't cause excessive misunderstanding.
Lu Erjie, are you willing to give up your current comfort zone?
If we're together, I won't destroy your comfort zone.
In the early stage we might have some bumps, but we have no fundamental conflict.
As we adjust, we'll only become more in sync, not end up in a mess.
Lu Erjie, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance.
Know that two compatible souls are a matter of chance, not pursuit; missing once could mean a lifetime.
Lu Erjie, I think we should consider every aspect.
The prejudices in our hearts shouldn't be our obstacle.
This guy spoke sincerely; Lu Er's heart, which was ready to give him up, suddenly fluttered.
Honestly, who wouldn't like a younger person? It's just that she's afraid she can't handle it, and in the end, driven by greed, she drags herself in.
After hearing Li Ming's words, she felt she couldn't give up so easily.
Yang Panpan truly lives up to being a mouthpiece.
Your words sound nice now, but who knows what scheme you're plotting?
Just like the ad you ran at the start, who knows if you're exploiting Lu Erjie.
When the time comes, once you have resources and your career takes off, you'll kick Lu Erjie aside with one foot—who can stop you?
Li Ming forced a wry smile; the little girl's prejudice against herself was too great.
Yang Panpan, can I afford to antagonize Azure Rainbow Media?
I dare to use people from Azure Rainbow Media?
Isn't that just digging my own grave?
I admit the earlier ad was my fault, but for a small studio like ours, we naturally have to seize any opportunity.
I'm not only thinking of myself; I also have to consider the friends in my studio.
So here's the deal: I promise that if I can be with Lu Erjie, I'll give half of my studio shares to her, ensuring Lu Erjie's Benefit no matter what.
This guy is truly exceptionally shrewd; your half? If they really use Lu Erjie's hype and resources, that's not just a small amount of money—the Benefit inside is huge, and the room for maneuver is also large.
The whole studio profits; you give up your half—do you think I'm foolish?
And also, the hype you get from being with Lu Erjie—how much traffic will you capture?
Isn't that something you earned yourself?
I can arrange an online matchmaking for Lu Erjie, and I'll naturally handle any subsequent issues.
Your little scheming, better not flaunt it here.
Let me remind you.
After the online matchmaking, I'll send you a contract: all revenue generated because of Lu Erjie belongs to her.
If you agree, you can join the upcoming offline meeting; if you disagree, you're deemed to have withdrawn from this matchmaking.
