Chapter 560 Hyacinth
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 is 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 immediately. . A few months later, the money was owed. It’s hard to repay the loan interest. In short, I really owe you this favor. Brother, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life.”
Chen Feng heard Yuan Daan’s sincere words. It's quite comfortable to wear.
However, Yuan Daan's gratitude made him feel somewhat guilty, because he only asked Zhang Qitao to inquire about it, and did not really sell any favors to help him.
As for how the customs suddenly let it go by chance, 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 work as soon as possible to make money."< br>
"Well, that's the case. I've already contacted the freighter and it will be ready within a few days. Once it's shipped back to your hometown, you can start making money immediately after assembly and debugging. There will be no problem in terms of sales. Don't brag. If you are short of money in the future or need investment in movies and TV series, just contact me. If you ask a question, I will forward it to you immediately.”
Yuan Daan's words don't seem to be lies, but could Chen Feng be short of money? At least there is definitely no shortage now.
However, Chen Feng still had to accept the kindness. He smiled and said, "Okay, if I'm short of money then, I'll contact you."
"Okay, I'm happy. , Haha, I really saw you right. When I played with you in school, I saw that you were a loyal person. Haha, Chen Feng, I really want to thank you this time. In this way, I will treat you to dinner at noon and give you a few glasses of wine. "
“No, your thoughts I’ll take it. I know you’ll be busy next time, so we don’t need to be so polite. Let’s meet again when we have the opportunity.”
After a moment of silence, Yuan Daan said solemnly: “That’s okay. , then I won’t be polite to you Now, I am really in a hurry to get back. There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the factory. Anyway, I will always remember your great favor this time. If you need my help in the future, just say hello to me. ”
"Well, I remember, I will definitely not be polite when I need your help in the future."
"Haha, that's it. If you don't let me help you, I will feel sorry for you. It will be very uncomfortable if you think about it all the time.”
“I know, you are such a mother-in-law. Nothing like you.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t say more. I have to rush back to clean up the mess back home. Let me tell you this first. I have to take the nearest bus. One flight back.”
“Okay, then I won’t send you off.”
...
After hanging up the phone with the grateful Yuan Daan, Chen Feng felt a little tired. The two of them had been getting along quite casually before, but now Yuan Daan was suddenly so grateful to him. Although he felt very grateful, it was still a little 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 us. You see, you can Can’t come to my birthday party?”
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. She almost did that. Out of politeness and previous friendship, she invited you to the birthday party. This birthday gift must be given to you.
“I never thought about it. After all, I am almost an old woman. What birthdays should I celebrate? One more birthday is equivalent to one year older. But Xiaojiao said, after all, this is my third birthday. The tenth birthday is somewhat commemorative. You know, in our hometown, most of us women get married when we are thirty. I have to serve a drink. But now that I am like this, I can only serve a few drinks with people close to me and celebrate a little bit.”
There are indeed married women in Lin Nan who are in their thirties. It is a custom to hold wine during the New Year. Relatives and friends will give favors like red envelopes or spend money together to buy large appliances or something.
But Yu Xiaohui’s husband had just died and she was a widow, so it would be difficult 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 refused, "I'm not very familiar with them, and I'm too embarrassed to ask them to give me any birthday gifts. It's just the three of us. You don't need to bother buying me any special gifts. If you really want to buy them, just give me a bouquet of flowers."
"Okay, I'll meet you later."
"Okay. 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, explaining that it was best to go there before eleven o'clock.
It's almost ten o'clock now, and there is still an hour to prepare. The restaurant is not very far away, so there is 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 to 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 bunch of hyacinths. A few minutes before eleven o'clock, Chen Feng arrived at the appointed restaurant. It was a relatively high-end Western restaurant with 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 walked towards the private room inside.
When passing by the hall, he seemed to feel something. He looked up and saw Shen Lin sitting at the 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 did not 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.
I sent her messages in the morning, noon and night for two consecutive days, and made an appointment with her for two consecutive days. Then there was pressure and arguments from her parents and relatives at home, so she had no choice but to accept the second relationship with her. For the first date, the location was chosen 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 the blue ones were very beautiful, which made her immediately think that they should be given to some beautiful woman by Chen Feng.
Thinking of this, her originally okay mood suddenly turned a little worse.
She couldn't 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. He asked with a chuckle, his voice magnetic and his tone 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 quite beautiful."
Luo Qingchao smiled, He 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 then asked.
Luo Qingchao answered patiently: "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, praying to bring Happiness. Therefore, if it is given to the opposite sex, it can be said to be an expression of happiness to the opposite sex. It means praise and appreciation, and it may also mean 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 bravely pursue her dreams and let herself go. life is more colorful, full of enthusiasm and hope "
Hearing his explanation, Shen Lin felt inexplicably much better, and smiled slightly and said, "You know so much."
Luo Qingchao smiled slightly and said, "Hyacinth is here. It is a very common flower in Europe and America, and in Europe and America Friends also like to send flowers, and it is necessary to understand some flower language, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they send the wrong flowers. For example, when I was studying at Cornell, a male classmate of He Lan received a flower for his birthday. The flowers sent by my female classmate were actually 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 confessing love to the other person. As you can imagine, my male classmate He Lan had a crush on the Asian female classmate. After receiving the tulips, he immediately expressed his affection to her. As a result, guess what? "
I have to say that Luo Qingchao's chatting skills are still very high. Even if Shen Lin doesn't like him very much, her curiosity was aroused by him at this time, and she asked casually: "Is it them? Two will be enough? "
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 about each other, and were also harassed a lot. Classmates teased. Later, the male classmate 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 of life. From this point of view, young people in our country are somewhat conservative in comparison. ”
"What about you? I remember you said last time that you had been in love three times before. When you were in high school, college, and studying abroad, you haven't been in love since you returned to China. Is that true?" Shen Lin looked at him with a hint of teasing and suspicion.
The biggest reason why Shen Lin did not like him well was that she felt that he was 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 had three relationships. How is this possible? Especially since he has been working in China for five or six years, how is it possible that he has not even talked to anyone?
Luo Qingchao also realized that he was being suspected, and could only say with a wry smile: "Okay, I admit that last time we met, I was a little embellishment and concealment of my emotional experience, but it was definitely not intentional. After all, , I said that there is not much difference between having fallen in love three times and falling in love five or six times. Do you think so? There’s really no need to hide anything.
As I said, I’ve had three relationships, which were more formal and long-lasting. I talked with him in high school. For three years, I was a classmate in the second and third years of high school. Later, I studied in two places separately for the college entrance examination. I persisted for one year. Long-distance relationship. It lasted from my sophomore year to my senior year, which lasted three years. Later, I went abroad, but she went abroad too, but in a different country.
After that, I just had a relationship with a Chinese female classmate, and until I returned to China, she didn’t want to come back with me. I didn’t want to stay in America anymore. I really didn’t lie about these three relationships. After returning to China, I was immersed in work for the first three years. How could I have the time and energy to fall in love? Later, work became easier. Only then can I have time and energy to think about my love life.
But it is a pity that I have 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. It was not easy to date the next one, but it was not satisfactory. The main problem is on my part because I have a hard time really falling 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 have been divorced. Why do you think you are in love with me? Me? To be honest, you barely know much about me now. "
Luo Qingchao stretched out his left hand and gently rubbed 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 Look for people everywhere to ask for information about you, including your last unhappy marriage..."
"Stop it. Shen Lin frowned and interrupted him, "You really don't understand 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 when we got divorced, it wasn't because there was any relationship problem between us or who cheated on us, but because there was a misunderstanding between us. ”
