Chapter 476 The Scary Sister-in-Law

On Monday night, Li Xiaofan, in a good mood, invited colleagues from the R&D department led by Dr. Pan Zhanlong and the marketing department led by Liu Yanping to dinner at the Xiucai Restaurant in NUS. He opened two boxes of red wine and several bottles of foreign wine to show his condolences.

Irene and Tan Chen Zhiqiang also attended the dinner.

Irene has a high EQ and has been in the circle of rich wives. She has a wide range of knowledge and a good image. After working in the public relations department of Pacific Online Bookstore, she quickly got into the role.

Dealing with people is her strong point. She is familiar with dealing with the media and various public relations activities. She has helped the company maintain the brand image of Pacific Online Bookstore and has received unanimous praise from colleagues in the company. Last week, Irene was appointed as the public relations manager by the company.

Irene and Desha complement each other.

Desha has a beautiful appearance of a European blonde beauty. In Singapore, which advocates Westernization, her image is very popular and she is the company's international image spokesperson.

Irene is a typical representative of Singaporean local beauties. She is fluent in Chinese and English, has been in a wealthy family, has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, and is more experienced than Desha in dealing with people. She is Desha's elder sister, and even Desha is very convinced of her.

Several times, Desha privately asked Li Xiaofan to let Irene take charge of the public relations department. Li Xiaofan dissuaded and rejected her. After all, it is better to enter the mountain gate first. Desha is an old employee when the business was started. Desha is still in charge of the overall work, and Irene assists.

Last week, Irene was appointed as the manager of the public relations department of Pacific Online Bookstore by the company, and another outstanding employee was appointed, that is, Li Xiaofan's former roommate: Tan Chen Zhiqiang.

Nominated by Li Xiaofan, Tan Chen Zhiqiang was appointed as the deputy captain of the company's JIT delivery team.

At first, Pacific Online Bookstore mainly cooperated with Singapore Post for product delivery. Later, for some customers with special needs, Li Xiaofan built his own JIT delivery team to meet the Just In Time delivery needs of those VIP customers with special needs.

Tan was delivering express mail in Singapore Science Park. After meeting Li Xiaofan, he left UPS and joined the JIT delivery team that Pacific Online Bookstore had just established.

He performed well and worked diligently during the period, especially in the price war with Popular Online Bookstore.

On October 8, Pacific Online Bookstore launched PICQ's 24-hour online customer service and launched a value-added service for VIP members to place orders online and deliver within 3 hours throughout Singapore, 24 hours a day, all year round.

Even if the order is placed late at night, it will still be delivered within 3 hours throughout Singapore.

This VIP service has greatly increased the reputation and praise of Pacific Online Bookstore.

And it is Tan Chen Zhiqiang who is responsible for the JIT delivery team on this most difficult night.

Tan was recognized by the company for his outstanding performance and was very proud of it.

The company was convinced by the new appointments of Irene and Tan.

After dinner, Li Xiaofan returned to the office to organize his briefcase and took a look at the US stock market of his Pacific Online Bookstore and Yahoo.

"Knock, knock" Irene knocked on the door gently outside.

"Sister-in-law, please come in!"

After drinking half a bottle of red wine, Irene, who was slightly drunk, came in and said to Li Xiaofan: "Afan, thank you!"

"What is there to thank you for?" Li Xiaofan asked curiously.

"Thank you for offering me this job and promoting me to manager. I feel very happy working here..."

"Sister-in-law, this is what you deserve. Your outstanding performance is definitely worthy of this position and income. We all think highly of you in our company."

After chatting for a few words, Irene, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly whispered:

"Afan, I am going to divorce Amin..."

Irene's words scared Li Xiaofan: "What's wrong with you and Brother Ming? It's normal for couples to quarrel. Sister-in-law, are you busy with work recently and don't take care of the family? Brother Ming has a problem with you. How about giving you a vacation to rest for a while?"

"Not for this reason..."

Irene, who was sitting on the sofa, was full of tears: "Amin has a new woman outside. He came back very late last Friday and didn't come back until the early morning. When he was taking a shower, a woman sent him very ambiguous and unbearable text messages..."

Li Xiaofan didn't find it strange that Brother Ming had a new woman outside. Brother Ming had become accustomed to it and couldn't control himself.

"Sister-in-law, as long as Brother Ming can come home every day and treat you well, you can be more open-minded about some things. It is inevitable that men will have affairs outside..." He could only persuade Irene like this.

"That's fine, but I am still scolded by that Japanese mother-in-law every other day when I return home. If this hateful Japanese mother-in-law had stayed in Tokyo before, I could still tolerate it, at least I was free during the day. So, this is why I came out to work. I couldn't feel a trace of warmth in that family, except that my father-in-law treated me well..."

"Sister-in-law, as the saying goes, a husband and wife for a day are a hundred days of grace. You calm down for a few days, and I will find a chance to persuade Brother Ming."

"No, I really think it through this time. I would rather live a hard life than live that kind of depressed life. Yesterday morning, after a big fight with A Ming, I had already confronted my mother-in-law and father-in-law and asked for a divorce!"

Li Xiaofan was shocked after hearing this: "Ah, confronted? What is the attitude of Tang Bo and others?"

"Ah Ming and my mother-in-law didn't seem to care at all. They said that as long as the divorce didn't involve their family property, it would be fine. Ah Ming's attitude completely disappointed me and I made up my mind to divorce. But my father-in-law said a few fair words for me..."

"So what are you and Brother Ming going to do? Go to court for a divorce or divorce peacefully?"

"Maybe we won't go to court for a divorce. Yesterday afternoon, my father-in-law talked to me for a long time and advised me not to divorce. Finally, seeing that I was determined to divorce, he promised that if I didn't go to court for a divorce, he would give me a private apartment on the East Coast, plus one million Singapore dollars in cash as divorce compensation and alimony."

"Then you answer Yes?"

"Yes, I agreed. Referring to the divorce lawsuit between the little dragon girl Shi Fang from the mainland and the wealthy Xu family in Singapore, she only received 250,000 Singapore dollars in alimony. I think the conditions proposed by my father-in-law are acceptable. In fact, even if there is no East Coast apartment and one million cash compensation, I am working here in the company, and the income the company gives me can support myself. At least, if I can leave the Tang family's cramped mansion, I will be happy and free physically and mentally!"

After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Irene showed a smile: "Afan, after I divorce Amin, you will not fire me because I have no relationship with the Tang family, right?"
