Return to Singapore 1995

Chapter 470 Midnight Companion

After the driver helped Yang Feiyan and Li Xiaofan into the living room of the old villa on Wukang Road, Yang Feiyan asked him to go home first: "Master Sun, thank you for your hard work. It's so late. You go home first. I'm here!"

However, after entering the door, the drunk Li Xiaofan lay down on the sofa in the living room and didn't want to get up.

The body of a person who drinks too much wine is so heavy that Yang Feiyan can't pull it up no matter what. He muttered: "Fei, Feiyan, don't touch me, just let me rest. You can go home first..." …”

"You'll catch a cold just lying here. Why don't you go up to your room and rest?"

"No, it's okay, let me sleep for a while..."

So, she had to go to the kitchen and make him a cup of honey grapefruit tea, then patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Xiaofan, are you okay? Drink some honey to relieve the hangover..."

"Oh, thank you!"

Li Xiaofan drank the honey grapefruit tea handed over by Yang Feiyan with "Gulu, Gulu" in one breath, and then continued to lie on his back on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.

He didn't want to move at all, as if if he moved a little longer, the wine in his stomach would spurt out from his throat.

Afraid that the cool breeze blowing in late at night might catch Li Xiaofan's cold, Yang Feiyan got up and half-closed the door to the living room, then sat silently on the sofa next to him, accompanying him quietly.

After a while, Li Xiaofan's cell phone rang suddenly.

Li Xiaofan drowsily pulled it out of his trouser pocket and saw that it was Lin Muchiu calling.

"H-Hello..."

"Director Li, are you home yet? Are you okay? Is Feiyan still with you?"

"No, it's okay. I'm fine. She has gone back. You guys, have fun..."

"It's okay. Then you can go to bed early. Good night."

"88!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofan found that Yang Feiyan was still with him. He was slightly startled: "Hey, why are you still here? I heard the door closing just now. I thought you had gone back."

"Haha, I stayed because I was afraid you would drink too much!" Yang Feiyan said with a smile.

Li Xiaofan closed his eyes and continued to rest, while still bragging: "It's okay, this little wine is nothing to me..."

Yang Feiyan laughed secretly in her heart. She was still bragging after drinking like this. Seeing that Li Xiaofan was a little sober, she asked softly:

"Xiaofan, you went to Singapore two years ago, right?"

"Well, it was an autumn day in 1994. I still remember that the weather was very cold that day. My uncle and aunt saw us off at the South Station to get on the train to Hangzhou. When the train started, I found my aunt on the platform. My eyes were moist, and the mothers of several other people around me were crying, as if they were sending us to the front line to fight..." Li Xiaofan recalled with his eyes closed.

"Maybe it's because your parents are afraid of you going abroad to suffer hardships, so you're always a little worried!"

"Now that I think about it, my uncle and aunt are really good to me, just like my biological parents..." Li Xiaofan sighed.

"You were very kind to them both. You bought them new houses in Shanghai and Mingzhou using Tang Qianqian's name, and gave Qianqian shares. All of these are worth tens of millions of yuan."

"These tens of millions are nothing compared to their kindness to me! My uncle and aunt are used to living in the countryside and don't like living in the city, so these houses will be left to Qianqian. I guess I will have to wait for Qianqian in the future. After getting married, they will come to the city to take care of their grandson..." Li Xiaofan closed his eyes and smiled.

"Haha, it must have been amazing when you first went to Singapore, right?"

"Well, it feels like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden!"

When talking about this topic, Li Xiaofan got a little excited and continued to recall the past with his eyes closed:

"Feiyan, to tell you the truth, when I went to Singapore two years ago, it was the first time in my life that I took a plane. When I arrived at Jianqiao International Airport in Hangzhou, I saw such a big airplane for the first time in my life, which shocked me. I still remember I was traveling on a Singapore Silkair flight. , let me tell you a joke. A friend in the front row told us that his father said that the metal knives and forks on the plane could be kept as souvenirs, so I actually took the exquisite stainless steel knives and forks. There was also a piece of chocolate that I was reluctant to eat and I put it all in my bag.”

"But after I put the knife and fork away, I started to panic. I didn't know whether what the guy in the front row said was true or not. I was thinking, what if that guy blackmailed me and I was arrested by the flight attendant and the security guard and sued me? If you were charged with stealing tableware and sent back to the country, it would be a big mistake and you'd be done with it! When I was about to put the stainless steel cutlery in my bag back on the plate, the flight attendant who came to clear the plate smiled and said to me: Sir, if you like, you can keep it as a souvenir. At this time, I was completely relieved. It turns out that this metal tableware on the plane can really be used as a souvenir..."

After hearing this, Yang Feiyan smiled and said, "Can the metal tableware on the plane really be taken away as souvenirs?"

"Haha, later I specifically asked my friends at the airline for advice. Unless it is disposable tableware, in fact, metal tableware on the plane cannot be taken away. If every passenger takes away the metal tableware, it will affect the airline's tableware. Deployment and operation. Of course, sometimes the flight attendants will turn a blind eye..."

Yang Feiyan smiled and said: "Haha, it turns out that the legend that metal tableware can be taken away on an airplane is just a myth."

She continued to ask: "Xiaofan, last time I heard you mention that your first job in Singapore was in a circuit board factory. The work there must be very hard, and there was a lot of overtime, right?"

"Yes, it's really hard. When I first went there, except for sleeping, I was either at work or on the way to work overtime. In order to make money and to pay off the huge debt of agency fees borrowed before going abroad as soon as possible, each of us worked very hard, and each person worked an average of more than 15 hours a day!"

"Oh my God, it's not easy! Do you have time to learn English and other knowledge besides working so hard?"

When Li Xiaofan heard Yang Feiyan's question, his heart "clicked" and his head became a little clearer. It turned out that Yang Feiyan was trying to trick him!

Indeed, if I were Yang Feiyan, I would also be very curious about myself, how could I become so knowledgeable all of a sudden...

So, he explained: "The advantage of working in a factory in Singapore is that I can improve my English level. There are many Indian and Malay colleagues in the workshop, and I need to communicate in English. All written language in the factory is in English, which is very challenging. Also, after paying off the agency fee debt, I don't work overtime very much. In my spare time, I signed up for many local English courses. I also developed the habit of reading the English version of Singapore's Straits Times and the Chinese version of Lianhe Zaobao every day, which can increase a lot of knowledge and broaden my international perspective..."

There are many truths and falsehoods in what Li Xiaofan said, and there are many condensed and exaggerated elements.

But his explanation still "scared" Yang Feiyan, who had not been abroad much.

Yang Feiyan felt that it made sense, and it seemed to make sense logically. Success is not accidental, but hard work and effort!

After chatting for a while, she saw that Li Xiaofan was much more sober, and she helped him stagger up to the large suite on the third floor.
