Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Wei slowly stirred the hot coffee in the cup with a small spoon, but stared at the newspaper in his hand.

In a conspicuous position on the entertainment page, the bold black font reads a line of words: "The movie star Zhao Qian will have his new work after two years of silence."

After seeing the title, Li Wei didn't read it any further, and quickly looked elsewhere.

After a quarter of an hour, the phone rang suddenly.

"Li Wei, did you forget the time and place of meeting?"

Li Wei said: "At 3:30 in the afternoon, Goodwood Cafe, right?"

"Yes, I sent you his phone number. Call him when you arrive."

Colleague Zhang Xiaohong introduced a man to Li Wei, and Li Wei promised to meet him. This is her first blind date.

Before going out, Li Wei also dressed up specially and put on makeup. It is the first month of 2002, and time flies so fast.

As soon as she came downstairs, the oncoming cold wind caused Li Wei to sneez twice. She pulled the scarf around her neck and then went to the garage to pick up the car.

Li Wei adjusted the rearview mirror, fastened his seat belt, put down the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the garage smoothly. When the car was on the highway, she turned on the radio, and the sound of music came from the small car. I met a red light ahead, and the brakes were turned on. After the car stopped, the song "Love Song 1990" was sung on the radio.

This song seems to take her back many years ago, when she first arrived and was still a helpless little girl, and now it has been a few years in a hurry to look back.

Parked the car to the specified position, got off the car with the bag, and locked the door.

Li Wei raised his head and glanced at the coffee shop opposite. She hesitated and dialed the familiar number.

"Hello, is it Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes, Miss Li, are you there yet?"

Li Wei promised: "I just arrived."

"I'll pick you up at the door."

Li Wei hung up the phone and walked to the cafe across the sidewalk. Sure enough, there was a tall man at the door, with a neat suit, a broken hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked very gentle.

Mr. Jiang waved to Li Wei, Li Wei got stuck, but quickly walked towards him.

The two met for the first time, and they asked each other before sitting down. Immediately after sitting down, Jiang Yunfeng asked Li Wei politely: "What kind of coffee does Miss Li want?"

"I didn't drink coffee. I came here to drink coffee at home. Let's order something else." Li Wei took the menu and ordered a matcha cake and a drink.

The music in the cafe was played with piano music, soothing and melodious. At this time, there were not many customers in the store. Apart from their table, there was also a pair of young men and women. There was a gray-haired old man by the window looking through a newspaper. There were no other customers.

"It's really cold today, it's said that the temperature will drop tomorrow." Jiang Yunfeng chose the topic of weather to start.

"Yes, this winter seems to be extraordinarily cold." The air conditioner in the coffee shop was fully turned on, and Li Wei sat down for a while and felt hot, so he took off his woolen coat.

"It would be great if it could snow, but the probability of snow in this city is very small, and snow has become a luxury."

In Daqi, there was a blizzard one year, and many people died of starvation and freezing, so Li Wei didn't like snow very much in his heart.

Seeing that Li Wei did not answer, Jiang Yunfeng said: "Miss Li herself is a little bit different from the TV station. You are on the TV station, but you have a good spirit and you seem to be a lot more casual in life."

Li smiled and said, "It is impossible to bring the state of work to life. I have always lived more casually. I heard Xiaohong said that Mr. Jiang must be very busy at work in the bank?"

Jiang Yunfeng smiled and said, "It's okay. I was really busy at the counter in the early years. I have transferred to other positions in the past two years, except for a little busy at the end of the year, and other times are fine.

Jiang Yunfeng came from a well-known University of Finance and Economics. He joined the bank with his own skills and worked in the most basic-level positions for several years. He quickly grew up.

"What did Miss Li's former boyfriend do? Why didn't you come together?"

Li Wei was taken aback, then said, "Sorry, I don't have any ex-boyfriends."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunfeng seemed to be a little unbelievable and hurriedly said: "How could it be, such an excellent person as Miss Li..."

"I don't have any history of love."

Jiang Yunfeng said in his heart, could he find the treasure? After staying in the cafe for nearly fifty minutes, Jiang Yunfeng’s phone rang, and he said sorry, took his cell phone to answer the call elsewhere, and said apologetically when he came back: "Something at the bank is urging me Go back, so sorry."

Li Wei stood up and said, "It doesn't matter, let's end it like this for today."

Jiang Yunfeng took the initiative to pay the bill. He did not drive, and Li Wei took the initiative to take him to the bank. Jiang Yunfeng sat in the position of the co-pilot very consciously.

The car was neatly packed, with no extra furnishings, or even a strong perfume smell. Li Wei's car drove smoothly.

When he arrived at the location, Jiang Yunfeng took off his seat belt and shook hands with Li Wei, only to become holding Li Wei's hand at the back: "Thank you for sending me over. I will contact you when I come down."

Li Wei said goodbye to him.

Jiang Yunfeng repeatedly told Li Wei to drive carefully.

That night she received a text message from Jiang Yunfeng.

"Li Wei, it's nice to meet you. I have a good impression of you and I hope we can develop further. Can we go to a movie together on the weekend?"

Li Wei quickly pressed the key and returned the message: "I will be free until 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon."

"Okay, let's meet at six o'clock. Let's go to dinner first and watch the movie later."

When I went to work the next day, Zhang Xiaohong came to ask about the situation.

"How? Is that Mr. Jiang okay?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "Let's be a friend first."

When Zhang Xiaohong heard it, it was obvious that there was a play, and he smiled: "Don't forget to thank me when you look back."

After preparation, he entered the studio. After the show ended, she turned on her phone, and the first text message that popped up was from Jiang Yunfeng: "Today's show is still good, and you are still beautiful."

She tried to contact other men, also tried to fall in love, and worked hard to find her own happiness. The weekend movie is a black humorous film, there are many golden sentences in the play, full of pungent satire. Li Wei looked at it with gusto. In the darkness, Jiang Yunfeng tried to shake Li Wei's hand.

Her hand was firmly held, her big hand was very warm, and her palm was slightly sweaty. She turned her head to meet Jiang Yunfeng's gaze.

Jiang Yunfeng leaned up and whispered in her ear: "I like you very much."

Li Wei was taken aback, she did not immediately respond to Jiang Yunfeng's confession, and looked back on the large screen.
