Chapter 157 Geylang Groom and I Will Be Here Soon
Li Xiaofan asked: "Atan, have you never seen this young woman Axia since then?"
Tan took a puff of smoke and sighed: "Actually, to tell you the truth, I met her when I went shopping at Tampines Center with a few friends the afternoon before yesterday..."
Li Xiaofan blurted out: "Really, are you sure it's her?"
"Yeah! Make sure, I know every inch of her skin!"
"Haha, then you haven't rekindled your old relationship?"
Tan let out a long sigh and said: "Hey, she was accompanied by a Singaporean old man An Ge who looked quite rich and had a big gold chain around his neck. They seemed to be very affectionate. That old man An Ge I hugged her all the way, and I didn’t step forward to disturb them..."
"Oh, it seems she has found a sponsor!"
Atan sighed in despair: "Hey, yes, who made me poor! In fact, she also saw me that day, but she pretended that she didn't know me. We were like strangers, as if we had never met before. …”
Li Xiaofan said: "Well, this is normal. It's hard to look back on the past! If I were that woman, I would never know you even to death!"
Li Xiaofan then advised Atan: "Atan, brother, let me advise you. You always go to Geylang to vent your energy and money. Isn't this a good idea? You won't seriously find a girl in the factory. Will the child be a girlfriend?”
Atan said: "Boss, I think so too, but I like them, but they don't like me!"
"Then you have to be patient. Chasing girls requires long-lasting perseverance and a cheeky spirit..."
Ah Tan waved his hand and changed the subject: "Hey, let's not mention it! Ah Fan, I heard someone said that you seem to have found a girlfriend from a rich Singaporean woman, right?"
Li Xiaofan was a little angry and said: "Oh shit, what a rich woman! She is a real girl, younger than me, okay!"
"Really, congratulations to you, Afan!"
After Li Xiaofan regained his composure, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Tan. So, as of today, your lecture on whoring is officially over, right?"
"Hey, I can't finish it. That's just the tip of the iceberg. There are still many stories!"
"Oh shit, you have so many stories in your head?"
Tan looked at his watch and said, "There are still a few minutes left. Let me tell you another story..."
Li Xiaofan was happy: "Okay then, today's last prostitution story!"
"Later, when I went to Geylang and couldn't find the young lady Ah Xia, I bumped into a street girl from your mainland!"
Li Xiaofan was a little curious and asked: "Tan, there are so many illegal street girls in Geylang, do the Singapore police not care about them?"
"I personally feel that I may not be able to control it! Because they are doing one-on-one transactions at the hotel, you and I agree. This is a legal society. It may be difficult for the police to find evidence that they are illegally trading!"
"Oh, what you said seems to make sense..."
"Afan, in fact, even if the police don't care, Geylang still has its rules and regulations!"
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"Later, after the young woman Axia left me, I found a new street girl from mainland China who came to Singapore. She told me her name was Lili. Lili later told me some of the rules and unspoken rules of Geylang... …”
"Oh, what are the rules in Geylang?"
"The new Lili told me that after she arrived in Singapore, her girlfriend who came here to hang out introduced her to a 'groomman'. Affan, do you know what a groom is?"
"Groomman? There is no carriage now. This groom must be a code name, right?"
"Enemies! On the roadside in Geylang, next to the rows of street girls, you often see a lot of idle men, some helping to solicit customers, and some just standing casually. They are the legendary grooms ”
Tan continued: "Generally speaking, every street girl in Geylang must be covered by a groom. First, it can help them look after the police, because occasionally the police will come to raid, so they can escape in advance; second, if there is anything If there is a dispute, the groom can help resolve it, so they can get help from every street girl. A protection fee of ten to fifteen yuan is withdrawn from each transaction. Of course, in various alleys, there are some accompanying mothers like Axia who come from China to do some business occasionally, but they are not protected by grooms. , the grooms generally won’t embarrass them, and it’s not easy to know them..."
"Lili told me that her groom had a green dragon tattooed on his right arm. When he stretched out his arm, the crimson dragon claws seemed to stick out from the cuffs of his T-shirt. The groom told Lili not to go anywhere else. This is human territory, telling her that she can only stay at the groom’s fingertips. The prices are lower the further you go in the alley, and the moms who accompany you in twos and threes on the road are even cheaper. There are people even trying to grab business near the parking lot. You can't go directly to the alley where the lanterns are hung after negotiating the price. Those are legally listed..."
Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out that there are still these rules and regulations in Geylang. Tan, you know Geylang so well, I feel like you can go to Geylang to work as a groom or open a shop and do business!"
"Haha, Affan, your thinking is too simple. Do you think you can open the store in Geylang if you want? If there is no black and white curtain there, you will die without knowing it!"
Li Xiaofan looked at his watch and interrupted: "Tan, thank you for these wonderful stories. It's time to start work! After I went up to say goodbye to the workers in our workshop, I have to go home. I'll be free next time We can keep in touch more. If you want to find me, you can call my mobile phone and I will give you my mobile phone number..."
After Li Xiaofan said goodbye to his fellow workers in the workshop, he called a taxi and returned to the terraced house dormitory.
After taking a shower and going to bed, I fell asleep for the first time.
Normally, he should be relaxed and happy after resigning and leaving the factory, but for some reason, Li Xiaofan suddenly suffered from insomnia tonight and couldn't sleep no matter what.
It's like suddenly leaving a large group and breaking away from the regular factory life. I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden...
By the time he fell asleep in a daze, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and Liu Mengchen was almost back from get off work.
Then, I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone.
The call was from Xinyi: "Fan, morning, have you gotten up?"
"Honey, I just fell asleep..."
"Ah, what were you doing last night? Didn't you sleep?"
"I don't know why I couldn't sleep last night..."
Tang Xinyi said with a little disappointment on the phone: "Oh, that's it... Originally I wanted to come over and celebrate your first day of freedom with you! Then you can just continue to sleep..."
"Xinyi, come here. I want to get a room at the Changi Resort Hotel next door so you can have a good sleep with me!"
"Hey, Fan, do you miss me, my dear?"
"Well, I miss you so much. Come here quickly!"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
