After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1061 - 561: Actually Resolved_2

"Well, congratulations! Have you picked out a house yet?"

"Picked it out a long time ago, but I never had enough money. The down payment is over eight hundred thousand. With this two hundred fifty thousand, I can finally make it."

"Congratulations, congratulations! When you move into your new place someday, invite me over so I can see it and get familiar with the location."

"Definitely."

...

Not long after he finished chatting with Zhang Kewei, Yuan Daan unexpectedly called.

"Brother, come out and drink with me."

Yuan Daan is always this direct.

"Drinking at noon?"

"Yeah. It's boring to stay idle, and I don't have many friends here; you're one of the few familiar ones."

"Are you still in Xiu Zhou? Didn't you say the machine was arriving soon? It's not here yet?"

"Ugh, don't get me started, it's bad luck. The machine was seized by customs, and Brother Yu has been trying for so long but still couldn't get it released. I'm so worried, that's why I called you to drink with me."

"Wow, that's really unlucky. What's the customs explanation? What's the reason for the seizure?"

"They say the equipment lacks the production date. I've provided the purchase contract and even sent proof from the manufacturer, but it's all useless. Brother Yu tried to pull some strings, but it's barely helpful, it's really screwed up."

Yu Boping, being the Deputy Director of the Light Industry Bureau, is considered mid-level in the system here in Xiu Zhou. If he can't fix this, it's really a hassle.

Chen Feng could only offer some consolation: "You imported it through official channels, it's not contraband, so there shouldn't be a big problem."

"It's not a big problem, but having the equipment seized like this is really frustrating. I've got the factory ready, raw materials prepared, sales aren't a worry, just waiting for the equipment to be sent back so I can start production and making money. But it's stuck here, sigh, it's really hard to get things going nowadays."

"Don't worry; there's always a way. How about this, last time you hosted; this time it's on me. I'll send you the address, and I'll head over there shortly."

Last time, Yuan Daan insisted on paying the bill, so out of politeness and etiquette, Chen Feng definitely owed him a treat.

"Alright, it's your treat this time."

Yuan Daan didn't hold back, which was comfortable for Chen Feng.

After hanging up, Chen Feng quickly sent the location of Fuman Building.

Half an hour later, Chen Feng, Yuan Daan, and his girlfriend, Ye Xiaotong, were seated in a private room at Fuman Building.

Before the dishes were served, Yuan Daan already started drinking.

He didn't intend to challenge Chen Feng with drinks. After offering Chen Feng a toast and learning Chen Feng needed to drive, he didn't insist. Instead, he picked up a can of Budweiser and drank it like it was water.

Once the ordered food started arriving, Yuan Daan drank even more fervently and spoke louder, mainly complaining about the import machine being seized.

His alcohol tolerance was decent, but after seven or eight cans of Budweiser, his speech started slurring.

"Brother, I'm suffering. Don't be fooled by my seeming net worth of over a hundred million; a lot of it is from bank loans. The yearly interest isn't small. Otherwise, why would I dare to risk over thirty million to import this assembly line? It's only because I was forced. If I don't get this equipment out soon, start full-scale production at my factory to make money, my financial chain might break. It could collapse in at most three months. Damn, what god have I offended? And Yu Boping, that bastard, can't get things done even after taking my money. Damn, he's my brother-in-law."

Chen Feng silently listened to his rant, serving as a good sounding board.

This time, Yuan Daan sought him out to vent his frustrations.

Indeed, behind every seemingly successful man lies unseen hardship.

When Yuan Daan started to sway a bit, Chen Feng urged him to stop drinking. Otherwise, Ye Xiaotong wouldn't be able to carry this nearly one-eighty-pound man, and Chen Feng certainly didn't want to do it either. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Yuan Daan, despite his drunkenness, heeded the advice, ceased drinking, and discontinued his complaints, instead chatting frivolously with Chen Feng.

At the end of the gathering, Chen Feng solemnly said, "Big Head, I can help you inquire about this issue, maybe even solve it."

Yuan Daan was initially stunned, then chuckled, "Okay, I know you're successful now, making big bucks. But this issue isn't related to you, a film company boss. You're not a local in Xiu Zhou unless you're connected with customs."

Chen Feng shrugged, "I happen to know some local top dogs. I can inquire. No guarantee, though. If possible, I'll certainly help."

"Alright, alright, you're indeed reliable. I was right about you. No matter what, your willingness to help shows you're a true friend," Yuan Daan praised, yet clearly skeptical Chen Feng could pull it off. After all, if even Yu Boping couldn't manage it, how could Chen Feng outperform him? He was doubtful.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't elaborate. Initially, he didn't plan to get involved with Yuan Daan's predicament. But after hearing the heartfelt complaints of the mid-aged man, Chen Feng felt he truly regarded him as a friend.

Friendship demands not always being heartless.

If this matter remains unresolved, Yuan Daan might really face bankruptcy, which would be tragic.

Therefore, if aiding is possible, he ought to extend his help.

Returning home after the gathering, Chen Feng phoned Zhang Qitao, a local top dog and owner of Dingsheng Real Estate. He undoubtedly knew people at customs.

Indeed, Zhang Qitao was well-connected, and quickly discovered that it wasn't really about Yuan Daan offending anyone. Recent policy changes classified equipment like his import line as restricted, but it was only an informal temporary rule without official documentation yet. Thus, space for maneuvering existed.

After learning the truth, Chen Feng thanked Zhang Qitao verbally, exchanged pleasantries, and concluded the call.

Afterwards, Chen Feng called Yuan Daan, explaining the reason.

Upon hearing the news, Yuan Daan was extremely surprised. Chen Feng's account was convincing, making it impossible not to belief.

Immediately, he thickened his face, imploring Chen Feng to find a way to expedite the release of the equipment, promising a favorable price, even offering Chen Feng 200,000 for expenses.

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn't accept the money, assuring that if possible, he would certainly help.

The next morning around nine, Yuan Daan excitedly and gratefully called, announcing his equipment was unexpectedly released.

The trouble that plagued him for days was suddenly resolved.
