Hidden Helpers for the Shy Guy
A Chinese company has specialized in helping people connect with the ones they’re secretly in love with. In the story below, they not only infiltrated her environment to learn more about her. They also covertly tried to point her in his direction by talking to her, her friends and her family without letting anyone know that they worked for him. Cool. It’s like the movie Hitch with Will Smith and Kevin James, only stepped up a notch.
BEIJING, April 24 — A young office worker in Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality had long admired a certain attractive young woman from a distance, but was at a complete loss as to how he should express his feelings.
Then one day a friend told the 27-year-old man about a new company in town that was offering to help people pursue the objects of their desire if they had inadequate confidence in themselves.
The man contacted the company, Winning the Hand in Sunlight, last month and told staff there his story. The young woman was on a business trip to East China’s Zhejiang Province at the time.
Employees from the company took a plane to Zhejiang and set about trying to meet the girl “accidentally”. During the ensuing conversation, they told her that a mutual friend was in love with her.
Returning from Zhejiang, the employees, who had become the girl’s friends, met her parents and pretended to have mentioned the man accidentally. They praised the young man and finally persuaded the woman’s parents to allow him to date their daughter.
When the two met, employees from the company set off fireworks in the sky in the city’s suburbs. Moved by the display during which fireworks spelled out “I love you” in the night sky the girl promised to give the man a chance to show whether he was her Mr Right.
Pleased with the results, the man paid the company 50,000 yuan ($6,400) in recognition of its efforts.
