Chapter 1471 The Eve of Returning Home

But Han Li was a person favored by the koi after all. He started from the moment he met the Zhong family to the moment he sent them away.

During the first meeting and dinner between the two parties, not only were there no unpleasantness, but they also had a very good chat.

At first, Mr. Zhong didn't like talking to Han Li, but that was understandable. It was hard for Mr. Zhong to accept that his daughter was with someone else without any status, even though he had lived in Hong Kong, a country with polygamy, since he was a child.

Things may turn out badly, and water may flow backwards. If this kind of thing happened to Han Li, the other party would be lucky if he could survive for more than five minutes in front of him.

Therefore, Han Li could understand Mr. Zhong's feelings, so not only did he not care about it, but he kept toasting him and trying to get closer to him.

Except for Mr. Zhong, the other members of the Zhong family, including Mrs. Zhong, the two younger sisters, and Mr. Zhong, all had a good chat with Han Li.

There is not much in the appearance and features of Zhong's mother. Zhong Chuhong is 80% to 90% similar to her, and the remaining 10% to 20% is like Zhong's father.

Zhong Ermei looks very much like Zhong Chuhong, and at first glance the two sisters look like twins.

The looks of Zhong Sanmei and Zhong Xiaodi are more like Zhong Bae's. They are not outstanding, but they can be ranked in the upper middle among the crowd, so it is not a big problem to score over 80 points.

Mr. Zhong didn't say much, so Mrs. Zhong took on the main responsibility of chatting with Han Li.

It may be due to the thinking of their generation, or it may be influenced by the polyandry custom in Hong Kong society in the past and present.

Of course, it is more likely that Mother Zhong is very smart. She knows what to say and what not to say. During the entire process, she did not ask a single question about the situation in Sijiu City.

Most of the time, people are praising Chung Chuhong for how sensible and well-behaved she was in the past, and how hard she works for the clothing company now, etc.

The rest of the time the topics were basically about Han Li's work, whether the teaching workload was heavy, whether the university students were obedient, etc.

These situations could not be concealed, and Han Li did not want to hide them, so he told the truth about his work situation very straightforwardly.

For example, an associate professor like Han Li, who has the qualifications and authority to conduct independent research projects, generally does not care about the number of students when teaching, and mainly focuses on various surveys and inspections.

When Han Li said that he had worked hard for about a month and successfully completed the research work commissioned by England, the bonus he received was equivalent to nearly a year's salary.

Mother Zhong, who was concentrating on listening to Han Li, Father Zhong, who was standing beside her and not paying attention, and little sister Zhong, who was concentrating on eating, were all stunned.

They had all heard from Chung Chu-hung about the salaries of professors at Hong Kong University. In their opinion, although it was outrageous to earn several thousand yuan a month for just teaching classes, this was money that only high-level intellectuals could earn, and ordinary people like them could never envy it.

But what they didn't expect was that Han Li could get nearly a year's salary for just a month of research.

If they complete this kind of commission once a month, they will be able to buy a large house of their own in a prosperous area of ​​Hong Kong in a year.

Zhong Chuhong confirmed this with a smile on her face, and also mentioned that her family had just bought a Mercedes-Benz car yesterday.

Zhong Chuhong already has a car, so it goes without saying who bought this car for. In any case, without mentioning the clothing company, Han Li has successfully acted big in front of the Zhong family.

It also made Zhong's father's expression look much better, and Han Li's tone became gentler when he toasted and urged others to drink.

Overall, Han Li's first meeting and dinner with the Zhong family was harmonious, successful, complete and memorable.

After Han Li completed this major task, he was able to truly relax in the following days.

Every morning, Han Li would make a series of phone calls without fail.

If there was nothing that required Han Li's presence, he would just drink tea at home, look up some information for his thesis, play with his pets, and train Liu Jialing.

Or he would go to Repulse Bay to call Guan Zhilin and leave the recent water, electricity bills and daily expenses at home with the Filipino maid.

Or he could go to Knutsford Terrace in the evening and take Lan Jieying and Wen Bixia to continue discussing, communicating, and studying the intersections between them to deepen their relationship.

Or he could ask Jing Shujuan out to taste the ripe peaches and enjoy the treat of getting something for nothing, while at the same time asking her to supervise and urge the progress of Hao Jianghe.

However, Han Li would reserve every Sunday for Hao Hongmin. The two of them were not just like that when they were together. They also had many topics to discuss.

Today is the day Han Li attends classes at Hong Kong University. With the help of Zhong Chuhong, he got dressed early in the morning, took his briefcase, drove his newly bought Mercedes-Benz and went to school.

After Han Li arrived at the school, he first went to the school office to hand in the expense list of the England commissioned project. Then he added two more commissioned projects for himself. Finally, he asked the school office to issue him a certificate allowing his vehicle to enter and park at Hong Kong University.

Han Li had just left the school office after finishing all this when their envious discussions began to rise.

School Office A: "Tsk tsk, I never thought that this mainland boy would actually become so successful. He has not even been in Hong Kong for two months and he has already bought a car, a Mercedes-Benz.

So, it would be great if this person had a good mentor. He has so many commissions one after another. Can he finish them all?"

School Office B: "Haha, you are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. It's true that Prof. Han has a good mentor, but it takes talent to be favored by a good mentor."

School Office C: "That's right. Some people just can't stand seeing others do better than them. Before you say something sarcastic, you should first master more than ten foreign languages ​​and more than a dozen musical instruments. Otherwise, you will only be laughed at by others."

School Office A: "Humph, I won't argue with you short-sighted women."

Women who can enter the school office either have real talents or strong connections. As soon as School Office A finished speaking, School Office B and C's faces changed and they asked in unison.

"What are you talking about? If you have the guts, say it again. Who is the one who has grown up with knowledge?"

Han Li didn't know about the dispute in the school office. He returned to his office to check the phone messages and ventilated the room. When the class was almost time, he locked the door and walked towards the classroom where the lecture was to be held.

Han Li originally only knew that the number of students signing up for his courses had increased, but he did not expect that there would be such a large number of students.
