"How about it? Let's meet. If you two hit it off, that would be great. If you're not interested in each other, I certainly won't force you. After all, this is a new society that values freedom of love and marriage, and everything should be based on your wishes as young people."
"this……"
Song Qingbin didn't expect to be set up on a blind date so soon, especially by his boss. He pursed his lips and remained silent for a while before nodding, "Okay."
There's nothing wrong with meeting her once; if it's a good match, he can try to get to know her.
If one of the two people doesn't like the other, then meeting is considered as him giving face to his superior.
Feng Xueyi was very happy. He patted Song Qingbin on the shoulder and said, "Good lad, you're really straightforward. I didn't misjudge you!" With a big smile, Feng Xueyi praised his daughter, "I'm not bragging, but my Yuanyuan is absolutely beautiful. Besides, she has a good personality since she was little. She knows how to care for others and is not spoiled at all."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, she doesn't talk much and doesn't laugh particularly often. I'm telling you this because I don't want to hide it from you, lest you think this old comrade of mine is dishonest."
"You are very well."
Song Qingbin said, "It's easy to make mistakes when you talk too much, but I don't think talking less is a flaw. As for not liking to laugh, it's just one aspect of a person's personality, and I don't think there's anything strange about it."
Not liking to laugh doesn't mean you can't laugh. If you laughed at everyone you met, people might think you're an idiot.
"Next Saturday after get off work, I'll take you to my house so you can meet my daughter, Yuanyuan. What do you think of this schedule?"
Feng Xueyi pressed his advantage, and upon hearing this, Song Qingbin pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Feng Xueyi was quite satisfied with Song Qingbin's answer and said, "Are you going to the grain station now?"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin responded with an "Mmm".
"Why don't you come to my house for a visit? Don't worry, my daughter Yuanyuan isn't home right now. She rode her bike back to the county before I left. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my daughter Yuanyuan works at the county supply and marketing cooperative. If things go well between you two, your future life will definitely be good."
The couple receives salaries every month, so they don't need to worry too much and can live a comfortable life.
Song Qingbin opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he did not utter a sound.
"Speak your mind freely."
Sensing that he had something to say, Feng Xueyi couldn't help but offer a suggestion. However, Song Qingbin shook his head and replied, "It's nothing." Things were still far from settled, and it was too early to say anything now.
After they have met and are mutually attracted, he will then express what he wants to say. If the other party has no objections, then they can continue their relationship.
Conversely, it can only mean being destined to meet but not to be together.
...
After saying goodbye to Song Qingbin, Song Lan rode her bicycle home. When she was about 100 meters away from the old residential area, she saw Chen Dongze riding his bicycle and a middle-aged man coming towards her side by side.
She tried to pretend she hadn't seen them, but to her surprise, Chen Dongze and the middle-aged man simultaneously gripped the car brakes and waved to her.
The middle-aged man was Zhou Yanchen. Since the two families lived next door to each other, they saw each other all the time, so he undoubtedly knew Song Lan.
Well, to be more precise, Zhou Yanchen and Qin Yanzheng, as cadres of the machinery factory, did not have much contact on a daily basis, but they would exchange a few words every time they met. As for Song Lan and Zhou Yanchen's wife, Li Yao, who lived across the fence between their two houses, they would inevitably exchange a few words out of politeness when they saw each other in their yards.
Therefore, even though the two families haven't had much contact, they still maintain a certain level of kinship as neighbors.
Squeezing the brakes as well, Song Lan responded with a smile, then glanced at the girl sitting on the back of Zhou Yanchen's bicycle before turning her gaze back to Zhou Yanchen and Chen Dongze, asking, "Are you two going to town?"
Zhou Yanchen and Chen Dongze were cycling in the direction of the town.
"Um."
Chen Dongze nodded.
Zhou Yanchen nodded as well.
"Then I won't take up any more of your time, goodbye!"
With that, Song Lan waved and rode her bicycle around to the side.
She recognized which girl was sitting on the back of Zhou Yan's bicycle.
—Yuan Xiaoya.
To be honest, Zhou Yanji couldn't understand why Yuan Xiaoya didn't go directly to the town police station to report the incident after it happened, but instead came to him for help.
"Uncle, is it really necessary to go to the police station?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Zhou Yan restrained his emotions and said, "If you don't go to the police station to report it, what do you think I can do for you?"
"But if I call the police, my reputation..."
Yuan Xiaoya's voice was choked with sobs.
"Your reputation was already damaged when that man you mentioned rescued you from the river. Besides, you said you were pushed into the river, which could be considered murder. If you don't call the police, are you going to let the bad guys get away with it?"
Having a brain is for thinking, not for decoration. He couldn't understand how his cousin and his wife had raised such a daughter who didn't think about how to solve problems but only wanted to hide behind others. He really didn't know what to say.
Yuan Xiaoya: "But I don't know who pushed me."
"Once the police are notified, the officers at the police station will go to find the murderer."
As Zhou Yanchen spoke, he glanced at Chen Dongze and asked, "Are you sure you didn't have someone pass a message to Xiaoya?"
"No."
Chen Dongze responded without hesitation.
"Who could be targeting Xiaoya and orchestrating such a thing?"
Zhou Yanchen frowned.
Chen Dongze remained silent.
Suddenly, Yuan Xiaoya said, "Could it be that Song Jiaojiao is trying to harm me? Dongze-gege, what do you think?"
"We need to produce evidence."
Chen Dongze said something indifferently.
