The woman’s plan, while daring, turned out to be poorly thought out. Mr. Lui, also known as her date, had intended to impress Miss Zhang by inviting her and her family to dine at one of his preferred restaurants. However, he was surprised to find not only her, but her entire extended family, totaling 23 people. Naturally, Mr. Lui hesitated at the idea of paying for such a sizable group, resulting in an awkward situation.
The incident took place at a dining establishment in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, according to the local publication Taizhou Evening News. Despite the woman’s questionable motives, she was motivated by a wish to assess Mr. Lui’s generosity and support for her family. Nevertheless, her implementation of this strategy was lacking, particularly given that it was a blind date.
It became clear as the meal went on that Mr. Lui did not agree with the woman’s attempt to be generous. Rather than gracefully taking on the bill, he abruptly left, leaving the woman to deal with the consequences alone. The substantial bill of 20,000 yuan (or $3,100) was now entirely her responsibility, a disappointing result of her generosity test.
Nevertheless, Zhang did not stop at that. The partner, disappointed by the outcome of the blind date, proceeded to take legal action against Mr. Liu. The court decided that Mr. Liu was only required to settle a bill of 1400 yuan.
Looking back, the woman’s endeavor to evaluate her date’s generosity proved to be not just ineffective but also expensive. Despite her good intentions, her strategy to gauge Mr. Lui’s character ended up failing miserably. This story serves as a warning that honesty and open communication are essential in relationships, instead of elaborate character tests.
