Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 54 - : Is this the rhythm of matchmaking?

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Is this the rhythm of matchmaking?

Editor: Henyee Translations

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Dad’s eyes widened: “Our Haoer got involved with a big celebrity?”

No wonder Dad was so surprised; after all, they were just an ordinary family, and crossing paths with a major celebrity seemed as improbable as two parallel lines intersecting. But now Mom said not only had they crossed paths, but it was with the nation’s most beautiful actress, which was very bizarre.

“Listen to how you’re talking,” Mom said, “the girl’s identity is confirmed, but do you really think she might date Haoer? I always feel there’s something strange here. I’m not worried about anything else, the main thing is that you think about it, Haoer befriending such a big star, won’t his standards soar like a rocket?”

Dad asked curiously: “What do you mean?”

“What I’m saying is,” Mom said anxiously, “that big star can’t be our daughter-in-law, right? But if Haoer spends a lot of time with her and his standards get higher, how will he find a partner in the future?”

“You make a bit of sense,” Dad said thoughtfully, stroking his chin, “If he gets used to seeing beautiful women, he might not be interested in ordinary girls. Considering our own situation is average, that indeed could be an issue; what do we do then?”

“I’ve been thinking about it all day and still don’t have a clue,” Mom said, “I was considering that we need to remind him…”

“Come off it,” Dad shook his head, “Don’t I know this age? The more you oppose, the more he will rebel against you. Blocking won’t work, only guiding will. We need to think of another way.”

“Then think quickly,” Mom said anxiously, “We can’t just wait around, can we? I’m telling you, even if that big star wanted to marry him, we couldn’t afford to keep her! Do you know her background? I checked specifically, she’s the only daughter of the CEO of Bai’s Group, with family assets over three billion! Just the maintenance of her car costs hundreds of thousands a year. Not just her, but everyone in her circle is high-maintenance.”

“Alright, alright, I know all that,” Dad said, “But even if you’re anxious, give me some time to think…”

After thinking for a while together, Dad’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Hey, how about this? I’ll ask my colleagues at work if they know any suitable girls to introduce to Haoer.”

“What? This…” Mom hesitated, “Isn’t this a bit premature? We haven’t figured out the relationship between Haoer and that big star yet…”

“You’re so stupid,” Dad said, “It doesn’t have to work out. The main point is to test Haoer’s thoughts. Think about it, if he agrees to go, it shows he’s not seriously interested in that big star; regardless of success or failure, at least we have a clue. If he refuses, it might mean he has other ideas, and we need to be more vigilant.”

Dad’s words made a lot of sense, so Mom nodded immediately and said, “Yes, this plan is good. Just test it out first, right?”

“Exactly, just a test.” With a decision made, they both felt relieved and continued with their daily routine in peace.

…

Around twelve at night, Wang Hao finally came home.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

The meal lasted over three hours, but the host and guests were happy, and Zheng Yue’s role was finally confirmed. It wasn’t easy.

Was this considered socializing? Damn, I drank five bottles of beer, good thing I can hold my liquor and didn’t pass out…

Dad was watching TV while Mom was messing around with Little Bai. Wang Hao went directly to his room and turned on the computer.

“I wonder how my results are…” Entering the Break the Heavens page, Wang Hao checked the data: “Hey, not bad, over two hundred recommendation votes, and almost a thousand hits, very impressive, haha!”

He quickly logged into the author backend to check the collection count, and as soon as he logged in, a message popped up!

“Hello, your work has been submitted for a contract by the main site’s sixth editor. Please add the contract editor as a friend on QQ to discuss contract details. When adding friends, please specify the book title and author name, and during contract discussions, please maintain stable updates as much as possible.”

Holy crap, I got a contract? Awesome! Wahaha!

After reading the message several times, he decisively added the contract editor’s QQ. Well, the editor was off work, so he had to wait until tomorrow. Hehe.

After everything was set up, he checked the collection count: 116, not bad!

“Haoer,” just when he was looking at it, Dad’s voice came from outside the door: “Are you back? Come out, I need to talk to you.”

Eh? Orders from my father?

“Coming,” he quickly went out: “What’s up?”

“Sit,” Dad first asked Wang Hao to sit down, then smiled and said, “Haoer, it’s like this. I figured you’re not that young anymore, and now you have a job. Although it’s temporary, that’s just for now; you’ll definitely find a stable job in the future. So I thought I’d ask my colleagues to see if they could find a suitable girl to introduce to you.”

What? Is this a matchmaking attempt?

Isn’t this a bit premature? Besides, that big star still chats with me on WeChat…

“Alright,” Wang Hao nodded directly, “If Dad says so, I’ll go and see, I have no objections.”

“As long as you agree, then let’s wait for their reply,” Dad breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted, and stood up, “I’ll head back to my room first, don’t stay up too late, go to bed early.”

“Yeah, sure.” Wang Hao watched Dad’s back, puzzled: “They want me to go matchmaking? What’s going on? I just started working…”

He thought about it for a while but couldn’t figure it out, so he lay down on the bed to sleep. Then he thought again…

“No, going to sleep now would be a waste,” he jumped up and sat in front of the computer, “I don’t have a photographic memory, things I saw before crossing will get fuzzy over time, I need to make more notes while I still remember. Otherwise, I’ll regret it when I forget.”

Wang Hao was certainly not a genius, but his best quality was self-awareness.

An ordinary person’s memory inevitably fades over time. After all, the luck dice can change one’s luck but can’t improve memory. So preparing early is only beneficial.

“Looks like I need to organize it systematically,” Wang Hao mulled over it for a while, then started creating folders on his computer: “Novels… Music… Films… Games… Okay, for now, let’s stick to these four main categories. Right now, novels are the easiest to start with, music is not feasible yet, I’ve already stepped into films, and games have the best prospects, but damn, I don’t have the resources to start a company…”

After categorizing, Wang Hao started filling these folders with content.

The most familiar and urgent category was novels, so he created about a dozen text documents in the novel folder.

“Heavenly Covering… Eternal Life… Douluo Continent…” He listed the titles of the most popular novels from memory first, then looked them over and said with satisfaction: “These were the most popular books in my previous life, haha, let’s finalize the titles and summaries first, then the settings and plots. Even if I don’t write the main text, it’s still a huge project.”

After writing all the summaries for these dozen books from memory, it was already half-past ten. Wang Hao looked at the day’s work with satisfaction and sighed contentedly: “Alright, hahaha, all done, time to sleep!”
