The program "Meeting for Lunch" continues to attract viewers with a pairing story between a construction engineer and a food safety and hygiene specialist. The highlight of this episode is a frank conversation about marital finance, empathy in busy work and ending with a moment of handshakes agreeing to give each other opportunities.
According to the program content, the girl named Hoang Chan (24 years old) is currently a food safety and hygiene specialist, living in Ho Chi Minh City. Chan admits that she is agile, energetic but quite shy when talking to strangers, and also somewhat meticulous due to the specific nature of her profession related to food.
Meanwhile, young man Tran Quoc Viet (born in 1999) is a construction engineer, working as a construction supervisor for a contractor. Quoc Viet said that he lives in Ho Chi Minh City but often works on projects in Long Thanh (Dong Nai). Sharing about his strengths, Quoc Viet said that he is enthusiastic, dynamic, works quickly, but when meeting his daughter, he is "a bit emotional so he is quiet", instead expressing himself with actions.
The surprise of the program came from the detail that Viet was twinned with Quoc Anh - a guy who had participated in "Dreak Dinner" before and successfully paired up. MC Cat Tuong could not hide her surprise when she recognized a familiar face and asked directly: "Do you know Quoc Anh?". Viet replied: "Yes, my younger brother... twinned too".
One of the noteworthy dialogues is the story "salary of 30 million to get married". Quoc Viet admitted that his father once told him to reach a salary of more than 30 million VND to consider getting married and he is still striving for that goal. When asked about his current income, Quoc Viet said "nearly 15 million VND". However, he believes that there is still time to try, because living expenses, raising children and personal needs are increasing in modern life.
In the opposite direction, Hoang Chan said that she works at a factory in Long An, traveling by bus from Ho Chi Minh City every day and usually arriving in the city around 7 pm, even overtime on weekends or holidays. Therefore, when she heard Quoc Viet share the specific nature of the job "sticking to construction for many days, sometimes 4-5 months", Hoang Chan said she could understand and sympathize.
In the emotional conversation, Hoang Chan recounted having gone through two relationships, in which the longest relationship lasted 4 years but ended because her boyfriend went to study abroad and then decided to stay. She learned a lesson, it is necessary to clearly define goals from the beginning to "save each other's time". Quoc Viet admitted that he has not had an official relationship, mainly stopping at getting to know each other and does not like girlfriends who cheat or compare work. Hoang Chan also clarified that she is not a patriarchal boyfriend, does not like being controlled.
The program atmosphere became lighter when the two discovered many common points: both working far away, liking sweets, and caring about health. Notably, Hoang Chan also gave Quoc Viet fragrant candles that she used to make herself when studying chemistry. The "cute dance" and "pair yoga" challenge created more interaction, helping the two people become less shy.
In the decisive part, both Quoc Viet and Hoang Chan expressed their appreciation for "fate" and wanted to learn more, and agreed to date to have the opportunity to bond in real life.
