Chapter 464: Fate and the Bodyguard

After seeing who was coming, Li Xiaofan greeted them enthusiastically:

"Hi, Huijuan, Junfeng, long time no see! Are you coming to Xiucai Restaurant for dinner too?"

It turned out that these two people were Tang Xinyi's best friend Zheng Huijuan and her boyfriend Lin Junfeng.

It was at Clarke Quay last year that Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi met Zheng Huijuan and Lin Junfeng. At the invitation of Lin Junfeng, Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi went to the computer room of the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS) to surf the Internet.

It was during that time that Li Xiaofan seized the opportunity to invest in Yahoo, and also met Dr. Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun who were surfing the Internet on the computer next to him.

Speaking of which, Huijuan and Junfeng can be regarded as two of Li Xiaofan's benefactors after his rebirth.

"Yes, Mr. Li, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. Unexpectedly, you have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year. We can only look up to you in newspapers and on TV. Now when we chat with friends and talk about Yahoo and the Internet, we are all proud to know you!" Zheng Huijuan and Lin Junfeng laughed.

Li Xiaofan laughed: "Haha, we are old friends. Speaking of investing in Yahoo, I really have to thank you two. You should call me Afan, don't be so formal! Are there only two of you? How about sharing a table with us and reminiscing about the past? These people are all my colleagues and good friends..."

Zheng Huijuan and Lin Junfeng didn't want to disturb Li Xiaofan and his friends for dinner, but they were really attracted by Li Xiaofan's legendary investment and entrepreneurial stories. They also wanted to talk more with Li Xiaofan, so they agreed to join.

After everyone sat down, Li Xiaofan introduced Zheng Huijuan and Lin Junfeng to Lin Muchu, Irene and Desha.

It turns out that Huijuan is Tang Xinyi's high school classmate and best friend. Lin Muchu, Irene and others found that the circle in Singapore is too small.

Huijuan is a master's student in journalism and communication at the National University of Singapore. She just graduated this year and is currently applying for jobs at the Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao.

Lin Junfeng is a master's student in computer engineering at the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore. He graduated last year and is currently working as a programmer in a foreign-funded software company.

"Mr. Li, your investment and entrepreneurial story is so legendary! I still remember that last year I took you and Xinyi to the computer room of our School of Computer Science to surf the Internet. Unexpectedly, you immediately ran to the United States to find this Yahoo company and invested in this website. Now you have become a billionaire admired by everyone. It's really the same person with different fates!" Lin Junfeng sighed.

Although Li Xiaofan's past has been reported in the media, it is now more vivid after being narrated and corroborated by the parties involved.

It makes the three beauties, Lin Muchu, Irene and Desha, respect him even more.

Seeing that everyone was chatting happily and it was rare for them to get together, Li Xiaofan asked the restaurant waiter to open a few bottles of French imported red wine.

After a few glasses of red wine, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

During the meal, everyone inadvertently talked about the price war between Li Xiaofan's Pacific Online Bookstore and the newly opened Popular Online Bookstore.

Speaking of this topic, Lin Junfeng said:

"I have a college classmate when I was studying for a master's degree at the National University of US, and he applied for a job at Popular Bookstore last month. I was wondering at first: Why would an ordinary bookstore hire so many software engineers? Now I finally understand that they are preparing for this Popular Online Bookstore project..."

Lin Junfeng's words aroused Li Xiaofan's strong interest: "Junfeng, how is your relationship with the classmate who went to work at Popular Bookstore?"

"We have a good relationship. We used to be buddies in the same dormitory."

Li Xiaofan said "Oh" and did not expand the topic.

However, the smart Irene on the opposite side looked at Li Xiaofan and smiled knowingly.

After a while, she asked, "Junfeng, which company are you working for now?"

"A programmer working as a software developer in an American software company..." Lin Junfeng answered.

Irene smiled and said, "Our Pacific Network Technology Company and Yahoo Singapore Station seem to need excellent software engineers recently. You two had such a good relationship with Afan, and Huijuan is Tang Xinyi's best friend. Afan, why don't you just recruit Junfeng to work in our company?"

Li Xiaofan took over and said to Lin Junfeng, "Junfeng, what the eldest sister-in-law said is very true. Our Pacific Network Bookstore is now listed. We will expand and invest rapidly. Now we need a large number of excellent software engineers. Junfeng, why don't you just come to work in our company? Our income and treatment will definitely not be worse than your multinational company!"

Irene added, "Junfeng, you have this relationship with Afan. You will definitely be able to play your strengths and have a bright future if you come to work in our Pacific Network Company!"

What Li Xiaofan and Irene said made Lin Junfeng and Huijuan excited. Although the multinational company where Lin Junfeng is currently working is large, Pacific Online Bookstore is also a listed company on NASDAQ, and Afan is the boss, and he has a relationship with Tang Xinyi and Huijuan, so it is indeed worth considering.

In addition, former NUS alumni Dr. Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun have been with Li Xiaofan and have developed very well. Dr. Pan Zhanlong has become the vice president of a listed company, and Gu Qijun has also become a director. Although the multinational company where Lin Junfeng is currently working is large, he is still an ordinary senior programmer. It is unknown how many years it will take to make a name for himself...

"Mr. Li, thank you. How about I think about it first and then reply to you?"

"No problem, Junfeng, my door is always open for you!"

...

After dinner, when they walked to the parking lot outside, Li Xiaofan secretly pulled Lin Junfeng to the corner and whispered:

"Junfeng, can you do me a favor?"

"Mr. Li, what do you want?"

"Can you ask your classmate who works at Dazhong Online Bookstore to find out which investment institution is supporting this online bookstore project?"

"Oh, I'll try, I wonder if he will tell me..."

"It doesn't matter, just let it go. If your classmate doesn't know or doesn't want to tell me, don't force it."

"Okay, I understand."

...

After separating from Zheng Huijuan and Lin Junfeng, Li Xiaofan originally planned to ask the driver to take Lin Muchu, Irene and Desha home.

Unexpectedly, Irene said it was still early and she was not satisfied yet, so she invited everyone to go to the Holland Village Bar Street to continue drinking.

Lin Muchu and Desha were both single anyway, and both of them supported Irene's suggestion.

Li Xiaofan had no choice but to act as a bodyguard and continue to accompany the three beauties to have a drink in Holland Village.
