Chapter 189 Dating on Sentosa Island, CPF and Yang Yonghui's Curiosity

Li Xiaofan replied: "I have no problem, then why don't you go home for lunch? How do you explain to your mommy?"

Tang Xinyi said softly: "Don't worry, I told mommy when I came out that I have dance lessons in the afternoon, and I will go out to eat and go shopping with my girlfriends at noon, and go home late at night. I have already asked for leave, and I will accompany you well during the day!"

"Where are we going now?"

"Sentosa Island!"

"Going to such a far place?"

"What's so far? Singapore is so small, and we can drive there in less than half an hour! The key is that Sentosa Island is more fun..."

"Okay, let's go!"

Sentosa Island is located in the south of Singapore, with an area of ​​square kilometers. It is the third largest island outside the main island of Singapore. The three Chinese characters "Sentosa" are transliterated from the Malay word Sentosa, which means tranquility, peace and tranquility. Sentosa used to be a quiet and remote fishing village.

Sentosa Island was a British naval base during the colonial period. Its former name was Juehou Island. It was renamed in 1972 and was later built into an idyllic island resort by the Singapore government.

Sentosa is regarded as the shining pearl of Singapore's tourism and entertainment industry. It is a leisure complex integrating theme parks, tropical resorts, natural parks and cultural centers built by the Singapore government.

It only takes a few minutes to drive from the city and take a cable car or ferry.

When Li Xiaofan came to Singapore on a business trip in his previous life, Sentosa Island introduced and built Genting Resorts World Casino, Universal Studios and Asia's leading oceanarium, becoming a world-class leisure and vacation complex.

In 1995, the various entertainment facilities, environment, leisure software and hardware on Sentosa Island were also top-notch in Asia. It was one of the must-visit Internet celebrity check-in places for tourists from all over the world who came to Singapore.

After rebirth, this was the first time Li Xiaofan came to Sentosa Island.

As soon as Tang Xinyi's Lexus entered the island, the lush green environment, neatly trimmed gardens and beautifully shaped musical fountains hit her in the face. There is a popular water park, a beautiful and challenging golf course, and various memorials that reproduce Singapore's history and culture...

Entering this island, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it seems to have come to a paradise, making people feel relaxed and happy all of a sudden.

Tang Xinyi brought Li Xiaofan to a Nanyang-style manor resort hotel on the island that embraces the tropical rainforest.

The main building of the hotel was renovated from two colonial buildings built in the late eighteenth century. The designer expanded and designed guest rooms that blend traditional Asian design with contemporary Western colors. The resort hotel has nearly 100 guest rooms, including two "colonial manors", dozens of villas, and constellation rooms with private rooftop massage pools.

The hotel added a new building on the side of the original building facing the sea, combining the old and the new in perfect harmony. The entrance of the hotel is the original colonial building, which is particularly quiet on the bustling Sentosa Island with the 30-acre tropical rainforest owned by the hotel.

Every corner of the resort hotel combines traditional and modern, natural and artistic designs. Native plants are planted in the courtyard; the waves gently hit the coast of Sentosa Island, releasing the energy of nature with every wave...

"Wow, what a beautiful hotel, how come I never knew there was such a hotel on Sentosa Island!"

Tang Xinyi smiled: "Fan, I can't compare with you in terms of business, various industries and Internet knowledge. But when it comes to Singapore's various food, drink and entertainment knowledge, you must lose to me. My father has taken me to these places since I was a child, and I know where Singapore is the most fun!"

"Well, this is really incomparable with you!"

After the two of them completed the check-in procedures for the resort, they walked into the hotel room. The super-large guest room with an area of ​​nearly 80 square meters made Li Xiaofan's eyes light up!

The high ceiling design and large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to see the blue sea and the white beach in the distance. It is a truly unbeatable sea view room!

The room is simply and exquisitely decorated, but with the rich green and unbeatable sea view outside the window, it makes people feel comfortable.

There are three beautiful outdoor swimming pools outside the hotel, with stone steps leading up one by one.

The two top ones are infinity pools, and the bottom one is a rectangular pool with a 25-meter swimming lane.

Tang Xinyi suggested: "Fan, let's go swimming together first?"

"Okay!"

As he spoke, Li Xiaofan had taken off his T-shirt and jeans and put on a new pair of CK underwear that Tang Xinyi had just bought for him.

"Dear, how about your love underwear!"

Li Xiaofan wore this new pair of CK underwear and made a very fit "Thinker" look.

Tang Xinyi had just taken off her skirt, leaving only a set of pink sexy underwear on her body, and was about to unbutton her bra to change into a swimsuit.

Looking at Li Xiaofan's "Thinker" look, she laughed: "Haha, it's pretty, but it doesn't look sad enough! Honey, this pair of CK pants really suits you, it's three-dimensional, and it looks like a strong man, very good, I like it!"

Then she remembered something and said angrily: "Honey, you promised to be a sketching model for me last time, but you haven't fulfilled it yet!"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Okay, you come and draw now, you can choose any pose you want!"

"Hate it, I knew I didn't bring any painting supplies, I'll do it again next time!"

Looking at Tang Xinyi's beautiful and sexy appearance after taking off her bra, Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Honey, I can't hold it anymore..."

Tang Xinyi blushed slightly, and said shyly: "I know it from your CK appearance..."

She praised and flattered Li Xiaofan's muscular body...

Unable to resist Tang Xinyi's temptation, Li Xiaofan pulled up the curtains, went over to pick up Tang Xinyi, put her on the big bed, and the two of them tossed and turned again...

It was not until 12:30 noon that the two felt hungry, so they got up and took a shower together, and then went to the hotel's Mediterranean restaurant for dinner.

This restaurant is designed in a modern way. It is an all-day gourmet restaurant that provides a warm dining atmosphere and a magnificent sea view of the South China Sea.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, the two enjoyed delicious food that blends the flavors of various countries and traditional Singaporean cuisine.

In the afternoon, the two went to the theme park and water park on the island to play. After returning to the room, they tossed and turned in the spacious bathroom and big bed again, and then hugged each other for a nap.

After getting up in the evening, the two sat on the large outdoor terrace, opened a bottle of Burgundy first-class winery wine in the afterglow of the tropical rainforest, and enjoyed a delicious Western meal.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Tang Xinyi's mother Fujiwara Anzi called, and Tang Xinyi reluctantly separated from Li Xiaofan and went back home.

After breaking up with Tang Xinyi, Li Xiaofan just returned to the terrace house dormitory and received a call from A Long.

A Long replied to Li Xiaofan on the phone that he had discussed with his girlfriend and was interested in starting a business with Li Xiaofan, but he wanted to talk to him about some details, such as basic salary, CPF provident fund payment, commission ratio of future business, work location and other details.

Li Xiaofan then invited A Long to the nearby Orchid Village Market for coffee and explained to him the issues he was concerned about.

The CPF mentioned by A Long is the abbreviation of the Central Provident Fund in English. It is a social security savings plan established by the Singapore government for all Singapore citizens and permanent residents, and each participant needs to pay monthly.

Many parts of the provident fund system in mainland China were learned from Singapore's CPF system.

For permanent residents like A-Long who have obtained PR for more than three years to enjoy Singapore citizenship, they need to pay 20% of their monthly salary, and their employer Li Xiaofan's company will pay about 14.5% of their monthly salary for them. In total, about 34.5% of their monthly salary goes into A-Long's CPF account.

That is to say, if Li Xiaofan's Yifan Private Limited employs A-Long and he gets a net monthly salary of S$1,200, the company actually needs to pay S$1,614 for him.

If A-Long works at the Westwood Electronics Factory, this 20% CPF will be deducted from his monthly salary. Therefore, the monthly salary condition of S$1,200 net monthly salary offered by Li Xiaofan to A-Long is much more favorable than that of the Westwood Electronics Factory!

Fortunately, after signing the contract with TAIYO Electric Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, TAIYO will pay 10,000 SGD in after-sales service agency fees every month, so it is not a big problem for Yifan Company to keep a technical expert like Along.

Regarding the product commission, Li Xiaofan's condition is 30% of the product's after-tax profit. Along is also quite satisfied. He can guarantee 1,200 SGD per month, plus the commission, his monthly income will not be less.

Regarding the work location, Li Xiaofan has discussed with Tang Jiaming before. He plans to temporarily rent a 30-square-meter office in Minghua Holdings' logistics warehouse in Changi as their Yifan Company's after-sales service office, 500 SGD per month.

This Changi logistics warehouse office is very close to Afan's dormitory and Along's home in Tampines, and is not far from the Westwood Electronics Factory, with convenient transportation. In the future, some of the machine parts and consumables that are represented can be placed in the logistics warehouse, so renting this place as a temporary after-sales service office is both economical and affordable.

At 10am the next day, Li Xiaofan arrived at the third-floor conference room of NTUC FairPrice as scheduled and met Yang Yonghui, the head of the purchasing department.

After the two sides exchanged business cards and sat down, Yang Yonghui looked at Li Xiaofan's business card and praised: "Wow, Mr. Li, your Yifan company is located in such a high-end place as Raffles Place OUB Center. It seems that the company is very powerful!"

"It's okay..." Li Xiaofan smiled and didn't explain much.

It's still necessary to show off at this time.

After taking a sip of coffee, Yang Yonghui continued to ask curiously: "Mr. Li, how could a Singaporean company like you think of advertising on Yahoo? I used Netscape browser to search for some information on the Internet yesterday, and accidentally clicked the online search button, entered the Yahoo website, and then saw your advertisement..."
