The imported equipment can finally pass customs smoothly, which is of course a great joy for Yuan Daan.
It can be said that Chen Feng's help this time was a great favor.
"Chen Feng, you really saved my life this time. Yu Boping went to inquire about it before. Many of the impounded machines and equipment have not been released for several months. If that were the case, I would stop eating directly. A few months later,
It is difficult to repay the loan interest owed to the bank. In short, I really owe you a big favor this time. Brother, I will be grateful to you forever.
However, Yuan Daan's gratitude made him somewhat unworthy of it, because he only asked Zhang Qitao for inquiries and did not really offer any favors to help him.
As for how the customs suddenly let him go, he didn't know the inside story. He could only guess that his super good luck may have played a role.
Therefore, Chen Feng could still reluctantly accept Yuan Daan's gratitude. Logically speaking, Yuan Daan was indeed blessed with his super luck this time.
Chen Feng said calmly: "There is no need to say sensational words. You treat me as a friend, and of course I treat you as a friend. Your top priority now is to transport the equipment back to your hometown as soon as possible and start working as soon as possible to make money."
"Well, it's like this. I have already contacted the freighter, and it will be shipped back to my hometown in a few days. Once assembled and debugged, I can start working and make money immediately. There is no problem with sales. Don't brag, my brother's net worth will definitely increase by then.
.If you are short of money in the future, or need investment in a film or television series, just contact me. Money is not a problem, just say a word, and my buddy will transfer it to you immediately."
What Yuan Daan said is not a lie, but is it possible that Chen Feng is short of money? At least he is definitely not short of money now.
However, Chen Feng still had to accept this kind offer and said with a smile: "Okay, if I am short of money then, I will contact you."
"Okay, happy, haha, I really saw you right. When I played ball with you in school, I saw that you were a loyal person. Haha, Chen Feng, I really thank you this time. In this way, at noon I
I'll treat you to a meal and give you a few glasses of wine.'
"No, I accept your wishes. I know you will be busy next time, so we don't need to be so polite. Let's get together again when we have the opportunity.'
After Yuan Daan was silent for a while, he said solemnly: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you. I am really in a hurry to go back now. There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the factory. Anyway, this time
I will always remember your great kindness, and whenever you need my help in the future, just say hello to me."
"Well, I remember, I won't be polite when I need your help in the future.
"Haha, it's settled then. If you don't let me help you, I will keep thinking about you and it will be very uncomfortable." "I know, you are not like you at all as a mother-in-law."
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I have to rush back to clean up the mess in my hometown. Let me tell you this first. I have to take the nearest flight back.
"Okay, then I won't send it to you."
After hanging up the phone with the grateful Yuan Daan, Chen Feng felt a little tired. The two of them had been getting along well before, but now Yuan Daan was suddenly so grateful to him. Although he felt very grateful, it was still a bit awkward.
After watching the short video for a while, the phone rang again, this time it was Yu Xiaohui calling.
Chen Feng frowned slightly before pressing the answer button.
"Chen Feng, it's my birthday today. I've made a reservation at a restaurant outside. I'm going to have a birthday party at noon. It's just Xiaojiao and I. If you can come, there are three of you. Do you think you can come over to attend my birthday?
feast?"
After Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, he said: "It's your birthday today, why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't even have time to prepare a birthday gift for you.
After all, the two are old classmates and now neighbors, and they almost had an affair before. Out of politeness and previous friendship, she has invited you to the birthday party. You must give her a birthday gift.
"I never thought about it at first. After all, I am almost an old woman, so what birthday do I have to celebrate? One more birthday is equivalent to one more year older. But Xiaojiao said, after all, this is my thirtieth birthday, which is a bit
Commemorative significance. You know, in our hometown, we women who get married at the age of 30 have to serve wine. But now, I can only serve wine with people close to me and celebrate a little bit.
Never mind.
It is indeed customary for married women in Lin Nan to serve wine when they are thirty years old. Relatives and friends will give favors like red envelopes or jointly contribute money to buy large appliances or something.
But Yu Xiaohui’s husband just died and she is now a widow. It will definitely not be easy for her to serve wine.
Chen Feng was a little sympathetic to this, so he said: "Okay, I'll go there at noon. You can send me the restaurant address later. In addition, how about I call Mengting and Xiaorui too, since there are so many people?"
Be more lively."
"No need." Yu Xiaohui flatly refused, "I'm not very familiar with them, and I'm too embarrassed to ask them to bother giving me a birthday gift. It's just the three of us and feel more comfortable. You don't have to bother buying me anything specially.
If you really want to buy a gift, just give me a bouquet of flowers.'
"Okay, I'll meet you later."
"Okay, let's just say this first, I will send you the restaurant address right away."
Not long after hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaohui sent him the address and explained that it was best to go there before eleven o'clock.
It's almost ten o'clock now, I still have an hour to prepare, and the restaurant is not very far away, so there's no need to be too anxious.
After checking his cell phone for a while, Chen Feng went to change into more formal casual clothes. Before going downstairs and driving out, he left a message for Sun and Wu, saying that he would not be at home for lunch.
There is a flower shop not far from Hongshuwan Community. On the recommendation of the flower shop owner, I bought a handful of hyacinths.
A few minutes before eleven o'clock, Chen Feng arrived at the appointed restaurant. It was a relatively high-end Western restaurant, and there was a parking space reserved for guests at the door.
Chen Feng stopped the car, walked into the restaurant with flowers, asked the waitress at the door, and then walked towards the private room inside. When passing by the hall, he seemed to feel something, raised his eyes and looked to the side, and saw Shen Lin was sitting at a table by the window.
Obviously, Shen Lin saw Chen Feng first and then stared at him, and he noticed it.
Although Chen Feng was surprised in his heart, he didn't show any surprise on the surface. He quickly looked away and continued walking towards the box inside.
Shen Lin is not alone. Sitting opposite her is a handsome, mature and charming middle-aged man in his thirties.
This man's name is Luo Qingchao, a vice president of a listed company, a returnee from overseas, and a highly educated person.
This was introduced by a relative of Shen Lin's family. Three days ago, under pressure from her parents, she met this person, had a meal, and chatted for more than half an hour. Then Luo Qingchao began to treat her around the clock. pursue.
She sent him messages in the morning, noon and night for two days in a row, and dated her for two days in a row. Then there was pressure and arguments from her parents and relatives at home, so she had no choice but to accept his second date at the chosen location. At this Western restaurant.
As a result, not long after she sat down and ordered her meal, she saw her ex-husband Chen Feng getting off the Cayenne in the parking lot at the door through the floor-to-ceiling window, especially the beautiful bouquet of flowers he was holding in his hand.
She didn't know what kind of flowers they were, but they were blue and very beautiful. She immediately thought that they should be given by Chen Feng to some beautiful woman.
Thinking of this, her originally okay mood suddenly turned a little worse.
Her eyes could not help but keep staring at the bouquet of flowers in Chen Feng's hand. She only looked away after Chen Feng pretended not to recognize her and walked away quickly.
"Do you like flowers?"
Of course Luo Qingchao also noticed Shen Lin's gaze just now, and also saw Chen Feng and the flowers in his hand. He thought Shen Lin liked flowers, so he asked with a soft smile, his voice was magnetic and his tone was gentle.
"It's okay." Shen Lin said casually, then asked pretending to be curious,
"What kind of flower was that person holding just now? It's very beautiful.
of.
Luo Qingchao smiled and immediately replied: "That's a hyacinth. It's really beautiful. Its flower language is to light the fire of life and enjoy a rich life. The meaning is still very good."
"If this kind of flower is given to the opposite sex, what does it mean?" Shen Lin asked next.
Luo Qingchao patiently answered: "Abroad, especially in the country of gentlemen, this kind of blue hyacinth has always been the bride's bouquet or decoration at weddings, representing the purity of the couple and hoping to bring happiness. Therefore, if it is given as a gift To give to the opposite sex can be said to express praise and appreciation for the opposite sex, or it may also represent admiration.
But in China, it is usually given to a friend, such as giving it to her on her birthday, to encourage her friend to chase her dreams bravely and make her life more colorful, full of enthusiasm and hope."
Hearing his explanation, Shen Lin felt inexplicably much better. She smiled slightly and said, "You really know a lot.
Luo Qingchao smiled slightly and said: "Hyacinth is a very common flower in Europe and the United States, and friends in Europe and the United States also like to send flowers. It is necessary to understand some flower language, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you send the wrong one. For example, one of my male classmates at Cornell, He Lan, received flowers from an Asian female classmate on his birthday, which turned out to be tulips.
The female classmate originally thought that he was from Helan, and the national flower of Helan was the tulip, so she gave him tulips. However, the flower language of tulips is a confession of love. Especially on birthdays, giving tulips is equivalent to expressing your love to the other person. The results can be imagined. You know, my male classmate He Lan had a crush on the Asian female classmate, and after receiving the tulips, he immediately expressed his crush on her. As a result, guess what?"
It has to be said that Luo Qingchao's chatting skills are still very high. Even if Shen Lin didn't like him very much, her curiosity was aroused by him at this time, and she asked casually: "Are they getting along? '
Luo Qingchao shook his head, shrugged and said, "No, the Asian female classmate was so scared that she ran away. After they understood the misunderstanding, they were very embarrassed and were teased by many classmates. Later, that A male classmate named He Lan found another Asian girl to be his girlfriend.
When Shen Lin heard this, she immediately became a little angry and said, "Sure enough, men don't have any good things."
Luo Qingchao was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "For young people in Europe and the United States, falling in love is like drinking Coke, it is a necessity. From this point of view, young people in our country are a bit conservative in comparison."
"What about you? I remember you said last time that you had been in love three times before, in high school, college, and when you were studying abroad, but you haven't been in love since you returned to China. Is that true?" Shen Lin looked at her with a hint of joking and suspicion. he.
The biggest reason why Shen Lin doesn't like him well is that she thinks he is not honest enough. He is thirty-four years old this year and has studied abroad for four years. He is so skillful and talkative. You said he has only done so three times. Emotional experience, how is this possible? Especially since he has been back to work in China for five or six years, how is it possible that he has not even talked about it?
Luo Qingchao also realized that he was being suspected, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Okay, I admit that last time we met, I was a little embellishment and concealment of my relationship experience, but it was definitely not intentional. After all, I said I had it three times There's not much difference between love and five or six times of love, don't you think? There's really no need to deliberately hide anything.
As I said, I have had three relationships, the kind that were more formal and longer. In high school, I dated the other person for three years. We were classmates in the second and third years of high school. Later, we studied in two separate places for the college entrance examination, and we persisted for a long time. We had a long-distance relationship in college. It lasted from my sophomore year to my senior year, which was also three years. Later, I went abroad and she also went abroad, but in a different country. She broke up with me first.
After that, I fell in love with a Chinese female classmate. Until I returned to China, she didn’t want to come back with me, and I didn’t want to stay in the United States. I really didn’t lie about these three relationships. After returning to China, in the first three years, I was immersed in work, almost 007, how could I have time and energy to fall in love? Later, work finally became easier, and I had time and energy to think about my love life.
But it's a pity that I've been with three people on and off, the longest was only two or three months, and then there was a gap period of several months. I finally dated the next one, but it was not satisfactory. The main problem is with me. Because it was difficult for me to truly fall in love with them in the end. Until, I met you.'
Facing Luo Qingchao's scorching gaze, Shen Lin felt uneasy in her heart, and said with a slight sneer: "We have met before, and I'm divorced, why do you think you've fallen in love with me? Seriously, You barely know much about me now.
Luo Qingchao stretched out his left hand and gently touched his chin. The Patek Philippe on his wrist swayed slightly. He looked at Shen Lin with a smile and said: "Actually, I know you better than you think. In the past two days, I have been looking for people everywhere to ask for news about you. , including your last unhappy marriage
"Stop it." Shen Lin frowned and interrupted him, "You really don't know me. My last marriage was not unhappy. My ex-husband and I were in a free relationship. We loved each other very much at the beginning. Even if we got divorced later, it was not our relationship. There was no relationship problem, or someone cheated, but there was a misunderstanding between them."
