Chapter 243: Does Miss Rong have a boyfriend?

Rong Ci hurriedly nodded, then said to Ji Qingyue: "Sorry, I can't go eat with you."

Ji Qingyue said warmly: "It's okay."

Rong Ci left.

Ji Qingyue watched the backs of her and Nan Zhizhi as they left, and went to the cafeteria to eat by himself.

He hadn't taken a vacation for a while.

Two days after meeting Rong Ci, it was the day his official vacation began.

During these two days, he hadn't seen Rong Ci again.

Returning home, his family didn't know he was on vacation today and were all busy with their own affairs, so they weren't home.

Upon learning he was back, Ren Jifeng invited him out to eat.

While eating, Yao Xinbo couldn't help but gossip to Ji Qingyue: "I didn't expect that Miss Lin, the one Jifeng likes, is actually a doctoral student of Kwait Smith. She's really quite impressive."

Ji Qingyue didn't know much about the history of AI development and didn't know who Kwait Smith was.

Yao Xinbo also knew he didn't know Kwait Smith.

He hadn't known before either; wasn't it thanks to Ren Jifeng that he learned a little about these things?

Ji Qingyue wasn't very interested in this topic originally.

But as if remembering something, he suddenly asked: "Between this Kwait Smith and our country's Mr. Nan Zhizhi, who has more influence in the AI field?"

Yao Xinbo didn't know that.

But Ren Jifeng did.

"Mr. Nan."

You have to know, Nan Zhizhi was a big shot who achieved multiple innovative breakthroughs in the AI field by himself back in the day. He led his team to break through the foreign blockade of our country's AI technology and opened up a new situation for the country's development in the AI field.

He is a presence that foreign countries are extremely wary of.

It can be said that Nan Zhizhi deserves much of the credit for our country's development in the AI field today.

Kwait Smith might be impressive, but there is still a gap between him and Nan Zhizhi.

He doesn't like Yu Moxun now.

But Nan Zhizhi is Nan Zhizhi, and Yu Moxun is Yu Moxun.

When discussing Nan Zhizhi, he wouldn't be biased because of Yu Moxun.

Ji Qingyue rarely asked about things unrelated to himself.

That he would ask such a question today was actually a bit abnormal.

However, Nan Zhizhi was indeed the premier big shot in the domestic AI field, and they all knew Nan Zhizhi, so in this situation, Ren Jifeng and Yao Xinbo didn't feel anything was amiss with Ji Qingyue suddenly asking this.

Ending this topic, not knowing what he thought of, Ren Jifeng suddenly smiled: "When I was eating with my mom and the aunties some time ago, the aunties mentioned they were looking for a blind date for you. I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid going on a blind date now that you're back."

He had also reached the age for marriage, and his family had started bringing this up early last year.

When his family brought it up before, he didn't resist, but he didn't have any other feelings either.

But now...

He lowered his eyelids and didn't respond.

That night, Ji Qingyue returned home, but before he could spend much time with his family, a call came in, his vacation was temporarily interrupted, and he quickly rushed back to the base.

He didn't know if she had already left the base or had gone to busy herself with other things.

Three days later, when he returned from a mission and entered the data center again, he didn't see Rong Ci's figure.

Two days later, when he entered the data center again, he still didn't see Rong Ci.

It wasn't until four or five days later, when he returned from a mission, that he finally saw Rong Ci in the cafeteria again.

Looking at Rong Ci's figure as she ate with her head down, he paused his steps.

A while later, he sat down in front of Rong Ci.

Seeing him, Rong Ci smiled: "Back?"

"Yeah, just got back." As he spoke, he looked at her and said: "I didn't see you last week, I thought you had already left the base."

Rong Ci said: "No, I've been at the base all these days, just not staying in the data center the whole time."

Ji Qingyue nodded and asked her a question he was currently quite concerned about: "When will you probably leave the base this time?"

Rong Ci thought it was just casual chatting, didn't think much of it, and said: "Tomorrow."

Ji Qingyue paused: "Leaving so soon?"

"It's not considered soon."

She had already been at the base for over ten days this time.

Speaking of this, Rong Ci had also finished eating. She wiped the corners of her lips and said: "I'm done eating, you take your time, I'll first—"

Before Rong Ci could finish her sentence, Ji Qingyue suddenly asked her: "Does Miss Rong have a boyfriend?"

Rong Ci didn't expect him to ask this suddenly and was stunned for a moment.

Before she could react, Ji Qingyue said again: "If not, what do you think of me?"

Ji Qingyue knew that him suddenly saying this to her was actually a bit abrupt.

But he was busy with work, and she didn't seem to come to the base often now.

They didn't have many opportunities to meet in their daily lives.

He didn't know when they would meet next.

If he didn't say it now, he didn't know when he would have the chance to speak again.

Moreover, it was very likely that someone else would get there first.

Only then did Rong Ci realize that he was confessing to her.

Seeing her surprised expression, as if she hadn't thought in this direction at all, Ji Qingyue said: "You don't have to answer me immediately. I just wanted to say, if Miss Rong, you want to fall in love or get married and have children, you can consider me as a priority—"

"Sorry." Rong Ci regained her senses, interrupted him a bit embarrassedly, and said: "Thank you for your feelings, but I'm already married." ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
