Chapter 50 Blind Date
"My name is He Yufeng."
He naturally pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I work as a police officer at the West City Police Department, mainly responsible for criminal investigations."
He spoke at a steady pace, with a humble attitude and careful choice of words.
Upon hearing the name, Song Zhiwei felt a slight stirring in her heart.
He Yufeng, the surname of the He family in Yancheng, has always had close ties with the political and legal system.
Although he did not explicitly state his family background, his name alone is enough to reveal a lot.
But the word "police" quietly instilled a sense of respect in her heart.
It's not because of his status, but because of the responsibility and commitment behind it.
She looked at He Yufeng's straight back.
Suddenly, she realized that this meeting might not have been as difficult as she had imagined.
She smiled slightly.
"I am interning at Feiyun Law Firm as an intern lawyer."
He Yufeng smiled, a kind smile in his eyes, and slowly began to speak.
"Aunt Xie mentioned you before, saying you are down-to-earth, hardworking, and conscientious. You are even more beautiful in person than in photos, and you have a very clean and refined demeanor."
Song Zhiwei paused slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently pursed her lips, whispering a thank you.
She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of her coffee cup.
Then he slowly picked up the cup, gently blew on the steam, and took a small sip of coffee.
They were not familiar with each other when they first met.
Although the two were sitting not far apart, there was an invisible barrier between them, and the atmosphere was somewhat stiff.
Noticing her awkwardness and not wanting the atmosphere to become awkward, He Yufeng broke the silence and asked in a relaxed tone, "What does Miss Song usually like to do? Do you have any special ways to pass the time outside of work?"
Song Zhiwei put down her coffee cup.
She thought for a moment and said gently, "I might be pretty boring, I don't have any particularly outstanding hobbies. Outside of work, I mostly read books, both physical and e-books. Sometimes... I also play games, mainly to relieve stress."
He Yufeng nodded, a knowing smile on his face.
"Me too. I'm usually quite busy with work, and when I'm resting, I don't want to do too much. I just watch movies, play on my phone for a while, and occasionally play some sports. Life is indeed quite mundane."
He paused, looked at her gently, and then tentatively asked, "Do you like skiing? This season is perfect; many ski resorts in the north are already open, and the scenery is quite beautiful."
Song Zhiwei's eyes paused slightly, her thoughts briefly drifting back to the past.
She remembered that she had accompanied Zhou Zhiwei to the ski resort a few times before.
At that time, he was still holding her hand, teaching her the movements step by step.
She has some basic skills, but she's not proficient at them.
But later... at a party, Zhou Yunsheng deliberately had someone cause an accident while she was skiing.
This resulted in her falling quite badly, and she still has a faint scar on her knee.
From then on, she was traumatized and never touched a ski again.
I was suddenly asked this question.
She paused for a few seconds, her fingertips unconsciously curling up.
After a moment, she managed a weak smile.
"It's alright, but I don't skate much, so my technique isn't very good. I wouldn't call myself an enthusiast."
He Yufeng had a good impression of her.
Not only because of her delicate appearance, but also because of the calm and composed demeanor she exudes.
The moment he saw her, he found her quite pleasing to the eye; she was neither ostentatious nor aloof.
Seeing that she did not object, he took the opportunity to make the suggestion.
"If you're interested, I can take you. I know a pretty good ski resort with a slope suitable for beginners and good safety measures. I can take you slowly, no need to rush."
Song Zhiwei was not opposed to the suggestion.
Lately, people around her have been gossiping about her and Zhou Zhiwei.
Saying things like "I can't forget my old flame" or "I can't let go of my ex-boyfriend"...
She even began to wonder if it was just a matter of a new person appearing in her life.
Even if it's just the beginning of a normal relationship, the rumors will gradually subside.
Thinking of this, she raised her head, her gaze no longer darting away.
"Sure, thank you for inviting me."
"Let's add each other on WeChat."
When He Yufeng saw that she agreed, he relaxed and felt a little lighter. He then took out his phone from his pocket.
After unlocking, open the QR code interface and hand it to her.
Song Zhiwei looked at the square QR code.
My finger hovered over the phone screen for a second, a moment of hesitation flashing through my mind.
After all, this was the first time I had added my blind date on WeChat.
But soon, she took a deep breath, told herself it was just normal interaction between friends, and then turned on the QR code scanning function and scanned the screen.
A notification sounded, indicating that a friend request had been sent.
She accepted the request, and the two officially became WeChat friends.

Sheng Tingzhou had a meeting with a client at noon, so his schedule was packed.
The location was set at the "Time Imprint" coffee shop downstairs from the company, less than a three-minute walk from his office.
As he pushed open the glass door and went inside, the wind chimes tinkled softly.
His gaze habitually swept across the seating area, preparing to look for customers, but the moment his eyes swept over the corner booth, he suddenly froze.
The woman who threw herself into his arms yesterday is sitting there now.
She was wearing a beige knit sweater, and her hair fell smoothly over her shoulders.
The two chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. They even took out their phones and scanned each other's WeChat QR codes.
Sheng Tingzhou frowned slightly, his eyes darkening, but he did not stop walking.
He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and walked straight towards the designated location.
Suddenly it got dark ahead, but Song Zhiwei didn't pay attention at first.
I thought it was just the shadows of people passing by blocking the light, and that the light was only temporarily blocked.
But the shadow did not move away for a long time, remaining standing in front of her.
She finally realized something was wrong and subconsciously looked up.
Her heart tightened suddenly, and she stood up almost immediately, her voice slightly flustered: "President Sheng."
Sheng Tingzhou stood in front of her, impeccably dressed in a suit, tall and imposing, with a cold and stern expression.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his voice so calm that no emotion could be discerned.
"What is Attorney Song doing here?"
He slightly raised his eyelids as he spoke.
Song Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
In broad daylight, she was actually going on a blind date at the coffee shop downstairs from her company.
Unfortunately, he was caught red-handed by his own boss.
The embarrassing situation made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
But at that moment, it was He Yufeng, who was sitting opposite her, who spoke first.
"Mr. Sheng, so you are Zhiwei's boss."
Although the He family belonged to the same social circle, they were not as powerful as the Sheng and Zhou families.
But the name Sheng Tingzhou was very well-known.
Whether it's business rumors or family background, Sheng Tingzhou can be considered a leader among the younger generation.
Zhiwei?
Sheng Tingzhou's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
That title... you seem to know it quite well?
His eyes turned cold.
"Who are you?"
He Yufeng maintained his smile and composure, answering calmly, "My name is He Yufeng. The He family and the Sheng family have cooperated several times before, you may not remember."
