Chapter 394 - 264: Why Should I
Singapore is the first choice for wealthy individuals seeking immigration, not only because it offers a high standard of living and modern infrastructure, but also because it provides political stability, low taxes, an advanced financial and business environment, quality educational and medical services, a multicultural and safe environment, among other advantages.
These factors allow the wealthy to better protect and grow their wealth, enjoying a more comfortable and secure life. Thus, Singapore becomes their preferred immigration destination.
However, despite all these advantages, Yi Anguo has never thought about immigrating to Singapore.
He still prefers the domestic living environment and has never considered tax evasion; he personally believes that the more tax paid to the country, the better the country can develop.
Currently, no matter how much tax he pays, it won’t affect his quality of life, his wealth is abundant enough, and he wouldn’t immigrate to another country merely to evade taxes and pay less tax.
Transferring the money earned domestically to overseas is a kind of indirect plundering of domestic wealth.
What he wants to do is the opposite, continuously earning money abroad and transferring it domestically, purchasing massive assets and investing in technology research domestically, thus aiding the country’s industrial upgrade and rapid development.
Although he has also invested a lot of funds overseas, that’s to earn more funds from abroad.
"Perhaps, when our son takes over our business, we can truly hold a grand wedding, then have time for a honeymoon, travel the world, and embark on a global journey." Yi Anguo said.
"By then, we can also buy a luxury cruise ship, sit on it and travel the world, enjoying different landscapes of various countries every day."
Hearing Yi Anguo say this, Guo Aihua couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement and spoke with great anticipation.
"By then, not only do we want to cruise various countries, we also want to go to the Antarctic to see penguins and the Arctic to witness auroras."
"Great! As long as you want to go, no matter where it is, I can accompany you by then, traveling across the world, seeing everything the globe has to offer." Yi Anguo said.
"And I believe this day won’t be long in coming; just as you said, at most in 10 years, our child will perform well academically and be ready to take over our company and career."
"Okay! Then let’s wait another ten years; we’ve already waited eighteen years, so waiting another ten doesn’t matter." Guo Aihua said with a smile.
Hearing this from Guo Aihua, Yi Anguo finally felt relieved; if Guo Aihua insisted on having a grand wedding, Yi Anguo would be in trouble and overwhelmed.
Now this matter is finally past, guaranteeing at least ten years of peace.
What will it be like in ten years? Yi Anguo himself isn’t sure, and can only wait and see.
After arriving in Singapore, Tan Xiaoxiao plunged into her tight and busy work; this time, they came to Singapore with a task, not only to inspect the construction and business development status of the Southeast Asia regional headquarters of seven major groups, but also the progress of market expansion.
Moreover, they had to supervise the financial expenditure and account status of various group regional headquarters, including those of the Southeast Asia headquarters, as well as the financial status, business development status, and market expansion progress of other subsidiary companies under them.
As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind," the Southeast Asia subsidiary is isolated overseas; if it’s not frequently inspected, problems are easy to arise.
And the most prone to issues are those concerning financial accounts, so financial oversight and inspection must be rigorous on the subsidiaries under each group, including the sub-companies under them. This is extremely important.
The workload is large; every expenditure must be examined, and income must be clarified.
Investment, of course, must yield returns, with only expenditure, no income, and no reasonable explanation, there’s surely a problem.
Tan Xiaoxiao and her team, they weren’t here in Singapore for a tour, but for work; due to tight schedules and heavy tasks, they’re extremely busy, even having to frequently work late nights.
Of course, overtime work comes with overtime pay, and because they’re working abroad, there’s also considerable work allowances, so everyone’s enthusiasm for work is quite high too.
This is Singapore after all, they are working and doing overtime here, naturally, they’d be paid according to Singapore’s salary standards.
Being paid wages and overtime allowance according to Singapore’s salary standards is significantly more than what they earn domestically.
Moreover, there’s an additional overseas work allowance; you could say that their salary income during this period is really substantial.
Guo Sian has tried to invite Tan Xiaoxiao for a dinner several times, but each time Tan Xiaoxiao says she’s busy with work, has no time, and has to work overtime.
Today marks the tenth day since Tan Xiaoxiao arrived in Singapore, and the busy and tense work has finally reached a pause; she has repeatedly declined Guo Sian’s invitations for meals and indeed felt quite bad about it.
Now having some free time, Tan Xiaoxiao hastily took the initiative to call and invite Guo Sian for a meal together.
Guo Sian naturally agreed happily and mentioned that he’d drive to pick her up.
After arranging with Guo Sian, Tan Xiaoxiao earnestly spruced herself up, applying some light makeup.
When Guo Sian arrived driving a Lamborghini convertible sports car, the moment Tan Xiaoxiao appeared, he was instantly taken aback.
The current look of Tan Xiaoxiao was something Guo Sian had never seen before!
"What’s wrong? Is there anything inappropriate with my look?" Tan Xiaoxiao said with a slight smile upon seeing Guo Sian’s shocked face.
"Xiaoxiao sister! I never thought you’d look so beautiful today." Guo Sian remarked after regaining composure.
"What’s with saying I never thought I’d look so beautiful today, are you implying I wasn’t beautiful before? So according to you, I looked terrible before?" Tan Xiaoxiao replied, seemingly unhappy.
"No, no, Xiaoxiao sister was beautiful before as well, always beautiful; it’s just that compared to today, today you look exceptionally beautiful, even more beautiful than before." Guo Sian quickly explained.
"Oh! So that’s how it is, huh? So do you prefer the old me or me now?" Tan Xiaoxiao smiled and asked.
"I like both; although the old you wasn’t as stunning as now but your personality was gentle, you treated people well, especially caring towards me, a newcomer, and were very patient when teaching me." Yi Anguo said with a smile.
"However, the present you have a distinctive beauty that makes you seem unlike an ordinary human, but rather an angel descended from the heavens, intimidating people to glance further."
"Since when did you get so eloquent, sugarcoated like honey? Did you often say such sweet words to other girls in school?" Tan Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"No, no! Aside from you, I have never said such words to other girls." Guo Sian quickly responded.
"What I said came from the heart; today is truly too remarkable, I’m afraid even fairy maidens would lose against you."
"Xiaoxiao sister! I have a request! Would you fulfill it?"
"Request? What are you asking me for?" Tan Xiaoxiao asked confusedly.
"I’m requesting that the way you look so beautiful today is just for me to admire, when I’m not around, don’t dress this beautifully and show others! Especially other men." Guo Sian said seriously.
"You! Why? Why can’t I dress beautifully and show other guys, why only let you see? Tan Xiaoxiao questioned.
"You’re not even my boyfriend, should I only show my most beautiful self to you? Not even my boyfriend can see me?"
"Isn’t this a bit too domineering?"
Guo Sian was momentarily taken aback, realizing that Tan Xiaoxiao’s reasoning was quite right; he wasn’t her boyfriend, what right does he have to prevent her from dressing up prettily for other men?
Especially when the other party actually is her boyfriend, it seems he has even less reason to demand her to follow his wishes.
"Xiaoxiao sister! Do you already have a boyfriend?" Guo Sian pondered and asked.
