Chapter 132 Two Couples at Clarke Quay

Clarke Quay is called Clarke Quay in English. It used to be the main trading port in Singapore in the old days, a bit like the Shiliupu and Bund in Shanghai in the old days.

The rows of old houses and abandoned warehouses on both sides of Clarke Quay have been transformed into tourist destinations after unified planning and reconstruction by the Singapore government departments. Especially at night, it is a gathering place for restaurants and bars for drinking, eating, chatting and relaxing, and it is crowded with tourists. Clarke Quay is also one of the must-visit Internet celebrity check-in places for foreign tourists to visit Lion City.

It is very close and convenient to go to Clarke Quay from Tang Xinyi's OUB Center Building.

On the way, Tang Xinyi asked: "By the way, Fan, last time when we were having dinner, Dad asked my eldest brother's company to help you apply for an EP permit, but you refused. Why did you suddenly think of applying for an EP permit for yourself this time?"

"I feel a little guilty for always troubling your family too much. I feel that if your company helps me apply, I will feel like a dependent, and I will feel inferior! And with my college diploma, I may not be able to get an EP permit approved!"

Li Xiaofan continued: "Now I use our own startup company to apply for a self-employed EP permit for myself. Now our new company has a relatively good order performance. If I add a good business plan, I feel that the possibility of successful application will be greater! If I can impress the person in charge of approval at the Immigration Department, I will feel more accomplished if I successfully apply for a self-employed EP myself, and I will feel that I will also have face in front of your father and eldest brother!"

"Haha, Fan, you think a lot! But I like your ambition and confidence, and I support you! Come on, kiss!"

After that, he looked up and gave a quick kiss.

A pair of lovers who are inseparable and kissing passionately! However, in the completely westernized streets of Singapore, passers-by are no longer surprised by such intimate scenes.

After the kiss, Li Xiaofan said: "Xinyi, I actually have another little idea..."

"What little idea?"

"I want to go to San Francisco, USA as soon as possible!"

"Well, you mentioned it last time! Are you in a hurry? You don't want to go there to see my second sister, and then have a good meal in their restaurant?"

"Haha, actually I want to go to Silicon Valley and Stanford University to experience the Internet entrepreneurial atmosphere there!"

"You value the Internet economy so much?"

"Yes, very, very, very optimistic!"

"Then I will ask my second sister to send you an invitation letter first. After you get the invitation letter, apply for a visa to the United States as soon as possible. If the visa is approved, I will accompany you to San Francisco and visit our second sister by the way!"

"Well, okay!"

As the two chatted, they came from the quiet office to the bustling Clarke Quay. Li Xiaofan felt like he had entered another world.

The newly renovated Clarke Quay is an entertainment paradise that integrates shopping, dining and entertainment. It is full of lights and wine, and tourists from all over the world are constantly flowing in it. The bar music and beautiful night lights on the street make the atmosphere here very cheerful and relaxed.

The Read Bridge where Tang Xinyi and Huijuan agreed to meet is located in Clarke Quay. It is a beam bridge across the Singapore River, connecting Clarke Quay and Swissotel on the south bank. The name comes from a foreigner named Read who was doing business in Singapore. Read Bridge began construction in 1881 and was completed and opened to traffic in 1889. At that time, it was mainly open to pedestrians and bicycles.

At the beginning, Read Bridge was also called the "Green Bridge" because the bridge was green for a period of time. After the bridge was built, many street vendors, coolies and unemployed people gathered on the bridge. They gathered here, often to listen to storytellers telling stories by the bridge... It was very similar to the old Shanghai Bund Shiliupu Wharf.

Li Xiaofan remembered that when he came to Singapore on a business trip before his rebirth, this place had become a Taiwanese food street.

Tang Xinyi took Li Xiaofan to find Chen Huijuan and her boyfriend Lin Junfeng on the north bank of Li De Bridge.

After a brief introduction, the four of them found a relatively quiet open-air bar and restaurant by the river and sat down and ordered some food and cocktails.

Huijuan was Tang Xinyi's roommate, best friend and best friend when she was in Singapore Overseas Chinese High School. The two had a very close relationship. Later, because Xinyi chose to study design in Milan, she became a little estranged from Huijuan.

But now when they meet, the two are still very cordial.

Huijuan is not tall, about 1.62 meters tall, with dark skin and thin body, but she looks very pretty and has a good temperament. She is now a master's student in journalism and communication at the National University of Singapore.

The boyfriend Lin Junfeng next to her is very tall, about 1.78 meters tall, about the same height as Li Xiaofan, but he is also thin, dark, and wears a pair of glasses with thick lenses, which makes him look very gentle. He is currently a master's student in computer engineering at the School of Computer Science, National University of Singapore, and is a senior of Gao Huijuan.

Huijuan and Junfeng look like a typical young Singaporean couple.

After sitting down, Huijuan said, "Xinyi, why did you suddenly think of me today!"

Xinyi said angrily, "You are so heartless, I miss you so much!"

"Do you think you have forgotten us sisters after going to romantic Milan!"

"How could that be? I am afraid that you are busy with your graduate studies, so I dare not disturb you too much!"

"You can come and bother me, no matter how busy we are, we sisters will always have time to have a drink together!"

Huijuan took a sip of the cocktail, looked at Tang Xinyi and Li Xiaofan with a smile, and then asked Tang Xinyi mysteriously: "Xinyi, is this handsome Xiaofan your boyfriend?"

Hearing this, Tang Xinyi openly and affectionately took Li Xiaofan's arm, rubbed her face on Li Xiaofan's shoulder, and smiled: "How is it, are we still a good match?"

Just start to show off your love openly!

Huijuan smiled and said, "They are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match! I really envy your skin, it's so white, clean, smooth and shiny!"

Then, Huijuan thought of the past school and suddenly laughed: "Xinyi, I remember when we just entered Huaqiao Middle School, the girls in our dormitory liked to touch you from time to time because your skin was so good, not like us Singaporeans at all!"

"Yeah, yeah, I remember, you guys are so bad, you like to tease me! I once suspected that you guys had problems with your sexual orientation!"

Huijuan covered her mouth and laughed: "Haha, Xinyi, you are so beautiful and have such good skin that we girls envy you. If I were a man, I would also like you!"

"Xinyi, why don't you introduce what your handsome Xiaofan does?" They still talk to each other as directly as before.
