Chapter 201 Huang Feina and the Night of Extravagance
Li Xiaofan was somewhat surprised to receive the call from Irene.
Irene rarely called him. Once, Li Xiaofan and Xinyi were watching a movie. Because Tang Xinyi's phone was muted, Irene had something urgent to ask her, so she called Li Xiaofan.
"Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?" Li Xiaofan asked with a smile on the phone.
Irene smiled and said, "Can't my sister-in-law treat you to a meal?"
"Haha, sister-in-law, you and Xinyi have been helping me design new sunglasses for me recently. You've worked hard! I should be the one to treat..."
"Well, Afan, you have to treat me to a good meal. In order to help you design new sunglasses, Xinyi often asked me to be a model to show her the effect. I also helped to give your new sunglasses to many girlfriends to try out and listen to their reactions..."
"Oh, sister-in-law, then I must treat you tonight's meal. You choose the place!"
"Haha, sister-in-law, save your meal for now. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"We, and others?" Li Xiaofan asked curiously.
"Well, you forgot when you came to my house for dinner last time. My father-in-law and Amin asked me to help you arrange a meal with Huang Feina, the relative of the Indonesian lady, to meet and chat?"
"Oh, so that's the case..."
Li Xiaofan remembered the last time. It turned out that Irene called for this matter.
"Afan, if you don't have other plans, can I arrange for you to meet at Clarke Quay at 7 o'clock tonight? I will book a restaurant with a better environment later, and send you a text message when the time comes, is that okay?" Seeing Irene's enthusiasm, Li Xiaofan thought that he might as well meet in person, so that he could give an explanation to Mr. Tang and the others. "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!" "Why are you being polite! Afan, that's easy to say, see you at Clarke Quay at 7 o'clock in the evening!" ... At 7 o'clock in the evening, at a small Western restaurant and bar in Clarke Quay, Li Xiaofan met the legendary woman Huang Feina under Irene's arrangement. Huang Feina looks very ordinary, with a dark skin, about 1.65 meters tall, thin, but with regular and delicate features. She is the kind of person who can't be found in a crowd at once, with a common face and a simple person. During the meal, Huang Feina spoke very little. Maybe she was a little nervous when meeting a stranger for the first time, and she seemed not good at speaking. After introducing them to each other, Irene wanted to leave, but later she saw that Huang Feina was a little dull and she was afraid of a dull atmosphere, so she stayed.
In fact, Irene also saw that Huang Feina might not be the type that Li Xiaofan liked, and Li Xiaofan was just dealing with her politely throughout the dinner.
This awkward dinner ended hastily at around 8 o'clock.
Huang Feina said goodbye first and took the RT subway to leave.
Li Xiaofan wanted to go home, but Irene kept him: "Afan, don't leave for now, sister-in-law has something to tell you..."
After Huang Feina walked away, Irene drank a big sip of fresh beer and asked: "Afan, how is it, do you have feelings for Huang Feina?"
Li Xiaofan also said directly: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, she may not be the type I like..."
"Afan, what type of girls do you like, girls like Xinyi?" Irene stared into Li Xiaofan's eyes and asked with a smile.
She took out a pack of green Ore cigarettes from her bag, borrowed a lighter from Li Xiaofan, lit one, and slowly blew out a puff of smoke with an elegant posture.
Li Xiaofan did not answer Irene's question directly, but also lit a Marlboro cigarette for himself. After blowing out a puff of smoke, he smiled and asked: "Sister-in-law, you smoke too. This is the first time I see you smoking..."
Irene said angrily: "Haha, Afan, there are still many things you haven't seen! Sister-in-law has actually been unhappy and upset in the past few years. I have learned to smoke a long time ago, but I rarely smoke in front of you..."
"Sister-in-law, if you are preparing for pregnancy, it is best not to smoke or smoke less!"
"Well, the doctor also said so. However, the key problem of our infertility is not me, but your brother A Ming's problem!"
When it comes to Tang Jiaming, Irene is a little angry, excited, and suddenly takes a big sip of the fresh beer in front of her.
When it comes to such a sensitive topic, Li Xiaofan is silent, just lowering his head to smoke and read text messages on his mobile phone.
Suddenly, Irene asked out of the blue: "Afan, you haven't answered the question from my sister-in-law just now. So, my sister-in-law might as well ask directly: Are you and Xinyi in love?"
Hearing Irene's direct and sharp question, Li Xiaofan was not mentally prepared and didn't know how to answer at once. His mind was spinning rapidly...
"Irene and I should be good friends..." He replied defensively.
Li Xiaofan felt that with his current strength, it was not the time to show off his muscles. He would stay at home for a while. When Yahoo goes public on NASDAQ next year, his net worth will be different. At that time, his company's trade, after-sales service and other businesses should also be very prosperous...
Irene laughed and said: "Haha, Afan, my sister-in-law is an experienced person and can see some things very accurately!"
Li Xiaofan pretended to be stupid and said nothing, thinking: It's good that you know it, why do you have to break this paper?
He raised his glass and said, "Come on, sister-in-law, I'll give you a toast. Thank you for caring about me so much!"
Irene thought Li Xiaofan's silly look was cute, so she didn't ask him any more questions and also raised her glass and said, "Well, come on, cheers!"
Afterwards, Irene drank her pint of fresh beer in one breath, and asked the waiter to give them both another pint of fresh beer.
Li Xiaofan wanted to go home, but now Irene asked him to drink with her, and he was embarrassed to run away, so he stayed with her for the time being. Today at noon, Tang Jiaming went to Malacca temporarily to discuss the coal supply business of the new power plant with Datuk Hui Ge, and will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
In the early years, Clarke Quay was just a small dock for loading and unloading goods, but now it has been transformed into an entertainment area integrating shopping, entertainment, dining and tourism.
Whenever night falls, the lights of Clarke Quay and the surrounding shops, bars and restaurants are lit up one after another, and a strong festive atmosphere and joyful atmosphere spread throughout the dock.
Clarke Quay at night becomes a particularly famous bar street, with brilliant lights at night, making people feel drunk and dazzled.
There are a large number of bars and restaurants along the Clarke Quay, as well as many distinctive live hoes, and it is known as the "Lan Kwai Fong of Singapore".
The riverside restaurant where Li Xiaofan and Irene are sitting now becomes a bar after 9pm.
The resident band starts jazz performance.
It is very enjoyable to feel the gentle sea breeze of Clarke Quay, listen to jazz music, and enjoy fine wine and food.
After Irene and Li Xiaofan finished a large pint of fresh beer, she suddenly suggested: "Afan, it's rare to be so happy tonight, how about we open another red wine bar?"
