Chapter 202: Spending the Night with Irene and the Copper Sign

Li Xiaofan didn't know how much Irene's drinking capacity was. At previous dinners at Tang's house, everyone had just one drink, as long as they ordered. Especially because the protagonist, Mr. Tang, had a minor stroke and was not allowed to drink alcohol according to the doctor's orders, so the banquet lacked a lot of drinking atmosphere.

After drinking two large bottles of Tiger Brand fresh beer, Irene's cheeks turned slightly pink, her eyes became a little blurry and misty, and her beautiful eyes squinted in a misty way.

"Sister-in-law, you are still preparing for pregnancy. Drinking alcohol is not good for your health. How about we forget about this red wine..." Li Xiaofan advised.

Speaking of pregnancy preparation, Irene burst out laughing, "This pregnancy preparation, haha, it's just a joke!" Irene took a lighter from Li Xiaofan, clicked it, lit a cigarette, and blew out a few smoke rings deeply. Finally, he looked into Li Xiaofan’s eyes and asked:

"Afan, do you think your Ming brother is seriously preparing for pregnancy? Today at noon he broke through and ran to Malacca! Does the Tang family still lack such a business? Is it more important to raise a baby or to do it? Is a coal business important?”

Hearing this, Li Xiaofan was a little speechless. He knew that Brother Ming had recently dated a mixed-race beauty. His trip to Malacca was probably half-public and half-private. He might have taken that mixed-race beauty with him...

He could only advise Irene: "Sister-in-law, if you believe in modern medical technology, you can definitely have a baby..."

Irene asked the waiter to bring two more fresh beers. After taking a sip, she sighed: "It would be fine if Amin was born with asthenozoospermia, but when we were dating before, he got me pregnant." Ah! At that time, we didn’t let our parents know about our relationship, and then I went to the hospital to secretly remove the child..."

At this point, Irene's eyes turned red, with a few tears in her eyes, and she sighed: "If I had known better, I would have given birth to the child at that time!"

She continued to ask: "Afan, Amin told me before that you and he entertained businessmen at Lido Nightclub several times. Tell me the truth, did Amin have any romantic relationships with him outside? How many girlfriends do you have?”

Li Xiaofan was shocked when he heard this, oh shit, you can't say this nonsense!

"Sister-in-law, you are overthinking it. As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any... We accompany the guests in the nightclub together. At most, we just ask a few accompanying girls to drink and sing together. There is nothing else..." He prevaricated. .

"Really so pure? I don't believe it!"

"Anyway, that's what I saw. Singapore's laws are so strict, it seems like you can't do anything too outrageous..."

"If Amin doesn't have a woman outside, I won't believe it to my death!" Irene took a long puff of cigarette and said with a wry smile, "A few days ago, I accompanied him to the Central Hospital to collect sperm, but he couldn't get it out. It really turned out that What a joke!”

After hearing this, Li Xiaofan was speechless and secretly worried for Tang Jiaming: Brother, can't you abstain from sex for a few days? Save some fertilizer and water to water your own little garden!

While he was talking, Li Xiaofan's cell phone rang, and he saw it was Tang Xinyi calling.

"Dear, why is it so noisy? Where are you?" Her delicate voice came from the phone.

"I'm at Clarke Quay..."

"Wow, it's so romantic, who are you with?"

"With a friend..."

"Male or female, do I know you?" Tang Xinyi chased her on the phone.

"I'll tell you when I come back next time. By the way, is it fun in Bali?" Li Xiaofan asked, changing the subject.

Tang Xinyi pouted on the other end of the phone and said, "My dear, it's not fun at all when you're not here! My dad and mommy don't like to play exciting water sports. They only know how to do spa treatments and eat delicious food. There's no one to accompany me." Go surfing, rafting and diving, so boring!”

"Haha, then I will accompany you to play next time I have a chance, and play all the projects you just mentioned!"

"Wow, that's great, love you, honey, oh so!"

"Okay, I'm getting ready to go home, and you should go to bed early, 88!"

"Well, give me a kiss, okay, 88!"

After Li Xiaofan hung up the phone, Aileen took a puff of cigarette and smiled at Li Xiaofan, "Is this Xinyi's call?"

They had already talked about Bali and could no longer hide it. Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Well, yes..."

After hearing that Li Xiaofan confirmed that it was Tang Xinyi, Aileen felt a little lonely, so she said to Li Xiaofan: "Afan, then you should go back early, so as not to worry Xinyi!"

"Sister-in-law, are you not going back yet? Are you driving at night..."

"I took a taxi here in the afternoon. Affan, please leave beforehand. I want to sit here for a while. I will be alone in the empty room when I go home..."

"Then don't drink anymore, it's not good for your health!"

Irene silently raised her beer glass and said: "Afan, come and cheers! Let's drink this with me before we talk..."

In the end, Li Xiaofan drank with Irene until about 10:30 in the evening. After helping her into a taxi, he took a taxi and went back to the terraced house dormitory.

The next afternoon, Tang Jiaming came back from Malacca and first went to the office of the OUB Center.

After Li Xiaofan knocked on the door and entered, he said to Tang Jiaming: "Brother Ming, there is something I want to discuss with you..."

After Tang Jiaming asked Li Xiaofan to sit down, he threw a cigar to him: "Afan, we brothers are so polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"The ALCO department store chain supermarket group company in the United States has passed the test of product samples provided by Yifan Company. In two days, the person in charge of their purchasing department will come to Singapore to visit our Yifan Company. I will accompany them then. Factory inspection in mainland China..."

"This is definitely good news, Afan, I'm so happy for you!"

"Brother Ming, I would like to discuss with you, is it possible to hang a 'Singapore Yifan Private Limited' sign on my door to accommodate the visit of ALCO department store from the United States?"

"Oh, yes, this is very important! But, Afan, the large characters on the background walls of the entrances of our Minghua Holdings were done together during the office renovation. Now we can't change them all at once?"

"Brother Ming, don't bother me. I just want to hang a square copper company sign at the door..."

"There's no problem at all. Affan, the place is up to you, as long as it looks beautiful and harmonious!"

"Okay, thank you Brother Ming!"

"Why are you so polite, Affan, you are doing well in your business, and I am happy and proud of you!"

"By the way, Brother Ming, let me tell you something. Last night, my sister-in-law arranged for me to meet Huang Feina, and she also invited us to have a meal together at Clarke Quay..."

"Well, very good! How about it, how do you feel about this Huang Feina?"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Maybe I don't feel much..."

"Haha, actually I have already guessed that this Huang Feina is not your type. But, Affan, to be honest, a girl like Feina is quite practical as a wife..."

"Haha, thank you Brother Ming for your concern."

Li Xiaofan continued: "Brother Ming, I saw my sister-in-law yesterday. She looked a little haggard. You may want to pay more attention to her..."

Tang Jiaming took a puff of his cigar and said, "Your sister-in-law is just suspicious. It is inevitable for us men to do business outside, and we have to make fun of things. Your sister-in-law just loves to worry!"

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters. When Li Xiaofan saw this, he knew that it was not convenient for him to talk to an outsider. After chatting for a few words, he returned to his office.

As soon as I sat down, my mobile phone rang. After the call was connected, the voice of Yang Yonghui from the Singapore NTUC Affordable Cooperative came on the phone:

"Hello, Director Li, will you be at the company office at Raffles Place OUB Center tomorrow afternoon? I plan to come and visit you with my colleagues from the purchasing department..."
