"Thank you." Li He finished his drink. Seeing that she had finished hers, he reminded her, "You have to take care of the child, so don't drink too much."
"You know I can hold my liquor." Fu Xia didn't mind. She first filled Li He's cup, then filled one for herself. She clinked her cup with Li He's and again, not holding back a single drop.
"My words don't work now, do they?" Li He didn't drink it.
"I …" Fu Xia opened her mouth and looked at Li He blankly, as if she didn't know him. This wasn't the Li He she remembered. He was magnanimous, tolerant, and never fussed over such small matters. He wasn't a male chauvinist either.
So what was going on today?
She felt a little uneasy.
Did she really have no place in his heart at all?
She put down the cup weakly, not daring to face Li He's dark gaze. She said timidly, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
"Riches always come from danger. A man's heart is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant." With that, Li He raised his cup and finished it.
As a person, you have to be content with what you have. You have to be discontented with what you have and fight for it. "
"Brother, I don't understand what you mean." Fu Xia was nervous.
Li He said, "You're a smart person. There's no way you don't understand. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. This little trick isn't enough for me."
"Brother, I'm not threatening you with the child. Do you know that I really love you?" Fu Xia couldn't help but cry.
She didn't think that she would say the word 'love' in the end.
"Love? Do you know what love is? " Li He was unmoved. "That's not love. If it was love, you would understand me and try your best to understand me. You shouldn't be challenging me or testing me. Do you understand?"
"I'm not lying. I really love you. I really love you! I'm telling the truth! " Fu Xia tried her best to explain, but when she saw Li He's expression, she realized that it was useless no matter how hard she tried. He would never trust her again.
Did she really do something wrong?
Why couldn't he understand her?
It was already frustrating enough that his son didn't have a title or a share. If he didn't have a proper business in the future, how could he face his son!
Li He said coldly, "I'll say it one last time. Don't mess with me, especially in front of the children. Don't be so reckless and reckless."
"It won't happen again." Fu Xia wiped her eyes with her hand, and all that was left was her sobbing.
Li He continued to drink. After he was done, he ignored Fu Xia's pleas to stay and hardened his heart to leave, leaving Fu Xia sobbing behind.
He didn't want to spoil her anymore. Crying, throwing a tantrum, and threatening to hang herself didn't work on him anymore.
Dong Hao had already stopped a taxi and was waiting at the entrance. When he saw Li He's figure, he heaved a sigh of relief. The number on the meter kept increasing, and it made his heart ache.
Although it wasn't his money, it wasn't good to waste it, and the taxi driver had taken advantage of it.
Singapore was a city with a rich nightlife. After six o 'clock, the bustling crowd was endless, and it looked like it had just started to get busy.
In order to attend the banquet, Li He's shirt and tie were meticulous. Even his leather shoes were spotless. This was a habit he had slowly developed after coming to Southeast Asia, and he didn't need Guo Dongyun's supervision anymore.
When he arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, he didn't expect the eldest son of the Li family to personally come out to welcome him.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Hello, you can use English." Hearing this broken Mandarin, Li He felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, please come in." Hearing Li He's words, Li Xianlong was obviously relieved, but he still insisted on speaking in Mandarin. "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. My Mandarin isn't that good, but I'm really hardworking."
The banquet hall was crowded with people, and Li He knew many of them. After all, he had been in Southeast Asia for a long time. Whether it was official activities or private banquets, he had lost count of the number of people he had attended.
Of course, there were also many people who knew him. As soon as he entered, Guo Tangwang, Huang Yicong, and Qiu Deba shook hands with him one by one.
There were also people who didn't know him, and they were curious about where he came from. How could he make so many big shots stop to welcome him?
Li He ordered a glass of beer and leaned against the wall casually. He chatted with Lin Shaoliang and the others, and he would occasionally observe the small groups in the banquet hall.
Most of the people in the banquet hall were Chinese, and only a few Malays and other ethnic groups were present. Even so, there were many small gangs, such as the Hakka Gang, the Prosperity Gang, and the Hujian Gang …
There were many more.
They were also very xenophobic.
"I have a deep impression of Pan Youlin and Huang Bingxin. They are both very talented. Mr. Li, you are really a talent scout." Lin Shaoliang was not stingy with his compliments.
Li He raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lin, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Pan Youlin and Huang Bingxin had already reached a financial cooperation agreement in private, and Pan Youlin and Huang Bingxin were people with strong execution skills. A few days later, they personally led their team to Indonesia and signed a series of contracts with Lin Shaoliang's Asia Bank.
"Happy cooperation." Lin Shaoliang raised his glass and said.
Li He smiled and said, "When it comes to appreciating people, I'm not as good as you, Mr. Lin. After all, not many people can afford to poach Mr. Li Wenzheng."
He was only willing to say that when there was no one else around.
"This is called complementing each other." Lin Shaoliang laughed. Money King Li Wenzheng was not only his business partner, but also his subordinate.
The banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and the music stopped. Someone said softly, "The senior minister is here."
"Good evening, everyone."
A loud greeting came from the banquet hall.
Lin Shaoliang whispered to Li He, "Senior Minister Li is here."
"Yes." Li He pulled his tie.
The crowd automatically split into two sides as Li Guangyao walked past. After he shook hands with everyone, he went straight to Li He's side and stretched out his hand. "Welcome, welcome to Singapore. We met last time in Bogor."
"Senior Minister Li has a good memory." Li He replied with a smile.
He looked at the old man in front of him carefully. He felt that he was no different from an ordinary person, but he was indeed an influential figure in the world.
If you were to say that he was anti-China, Li Guangyao had visited China four times. No leader in the world had visited China more frequently than him.
If you were to say that he agreed with China, he would be proud of speaking English in Singapore and ashamed of speaking Chinese. Internationally, he had always been pro-Western.
But no matter what, Li He understood that a person who could be praised by Comrade Xiaoping was definitely not a simple person, let alone a cat or dog.
In 1992, Comrade Xiaoping went south to Shenzhen and made the most famous southern tour speech. "Go abroad and take a look, and learn from other countries, especially from Singapore. They have good social discipline and good social order. We should learn from them and do better than them. "
This speech triggered the tide of tens of thousands of cadres going to Nanyang in the 1990s to visit, study, research, and of course, travel in Singapore.
It was not until Li He arrived in Singapore that he saw an endless stream of China inspection teams.
