Ultimately, they were two people meeting for the first time.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
As the secretary-general and a man, Qi Heng naturally had the task of initiating the conversation.
He coughed lightly and looked at Ran Zhu, saying, "I wonder how Madam introduced me to you."
Ran Zhu held the cup and smiled at him: "Sister Chi didn't say much, she just told me that you have a white moonlight in your heart, and that you have been guarding it for so many years. You are a very loyal and affectionate person. You and I are very similar. We both love but cannot be together. But I am better than you. At least the person I love is still alive, while the person you love is gone. You can only remember them in your heart."
Qi Heng's heart sank instantly.
My boss ruined me!
Seeing his cold expression, Ran Zhu thought she had touched a sore spot and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up with you. I just... I just felt that we were in the same boat, so I didn't consider your feelings. I'm sorry."
This soft and beautiful girl looked at him with a pair of apologetic, bright eyes, and Qi Heng's heart softened instantly. He smiled wryly and said, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about it."
Ran Zhu felt guilty for saying the wrong thing, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
Qi Heng sighed inwardly. Oh well, at this rate, the blind date banquet will definitely turn into a social gathering.
The beautiful woman had already said she had someone in her heart, and he wasn't one to force her or be the type to face difficulties head-on.
Qi Heng smiled at Ran Zhu and said softly, "It's really nothing, you don't need to worry about it. If you don't mind, tell me about your situation."
Ran Zhu didn't think much of it. She did need someone who could understand her, someone who was in the same situation as her, to help her analyze things, or even just to confide in someone.
Although Sister Chi, Zhang Xin, and Chunli were very kind to her, it was precisely because they were too kind to her that she couldn't open up to them. Given their protective nature, they would definitely be disappointed in her and would also resent Chen Yu.
So, after thinking about it for a moment, she started talking to Qi Heng.
Of course, she was too embarrassed to talk about the incident of having sex while drunk, so she skipped it.
Listening to Ran Zhu recount her experiences with Chen Yu in her soft, sweet voice, Qi Heng smiled bitterly to himself. He had thought he was playing the role of a blind date, but it turned out to be a confidante.
However, as he listened, Qi Heng began to take it to heart and even felt a strong sense of empathy.
Although he had never been in a serious relationship, he was a man and could naturally guess what Chen Yu was probably struggling with.
After Ran Zhu finished speaking, Qi Heng said very decisively, "He likes you!"
Ran Zhu's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous: "Is...is that so?"
"Of course!" Qi Heng said seriously, "I guarantee with my integrity that he likes you, more than he imagines."
"Men understand men best. If he were a scumbag, he would be flirting with all sorts of women, but he wasn't. I had dealings with him when he came to interview the leader. This man can be described as abstinent. He was always businesslike with his beautiful female colleagues, without any extra expressions."
"And think about it, he's already thirty-five this year. Any normal man would have needs and want a partner. He works at a TV station surrounded by beautiful women, yet he hasn't made a move at all, only showing special attention to you. What else could this be but liking you?"
