Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1523: Thirty Years and a Half Can't Save Enough
In fact, Lizhi went to Jiahui Garden first this morning. After hitting a wall there, she came to Hong Kong University.

It was easy to get information about Han Li. Li Zhi found out by stopping a teacher on the road.

However, when Lizhi was stopped by the security personnel from the school's security department downstairs, she had already prepared herself to be turned away.

At that time, Li Zhi thought that she and Han Li had only met a few times. She was just a waitress, while the other party was an associate professor at Hong Kong University. There were special staff guarding his workplace. Such a person was not so easy to meet.

When one of the security guards turned around to go into the room to make a phone call, the other security guards were on alert, whispering to each other and looking at her with the same disdainful eyes as other Hong Kong people.

This made Li Zhi even more uncertain about whether she could see Han Li. Just when she was feeling uneasy and wondering whether she should leave this place, the security guard actually let her in and told her the location of Han Li's room in detail.

What followed was Han Li's friendly reception. Even though he still had unfinished work on his hands, he still answered every one of Li Zhi's questions and also did not signal her to leave.

Not only did he treat her to lunch at noon, he also helped pay for the taxi fare and even watched the taxi leave.

Another very important point is that this may be a woman's sixth sense, or it may be related to Lizhi's experience of wandering when she was a child. She is particularly sensitive to other people's gazes towards her.

When the two were together, Li Zhi could feel Han Li's burning gaze from time to time, which gave Li Zhi the illusion that Han Li was interested in her.

If others looked at her like this, Li Zhi would feel disgusted or even resist, but when this happened to Han Li, she actually enjoyed such looks very much.

However, when the taxi stopped, Lizhi had to put aside her wandering thoughts. After getting off the car, she walked directly to a store that sold study abroad institutions.

But when Lizhi came out, the look on her face became very depressed.

What made Lizhi depressed was that she had just learned from this institution the annual tuition fees for studying abroad at a university, as well as the approximate living expenses.

Because Lizhi felt that since she was going to study abroad, her first choice would be England, and the second would be the United States.

Of these two countries, Li Zhi prefers to study in England, mainly because England is currently the actual controller of Hong Kong, and the quality of international students there is the highest in Hong Kong.

Moreover, these two countries are still very powerful countries in the world. Although the Russians are the most powerful, they are not even within Lizhi's consideration.

First of all, the situation over there is that it is state-owned, so Lizhi doesn’t know whether she can go to university there. But even if she can go, the cost will be very high, and it’s cold over there.

Secondly, and most importantly, the Russians have an almost hostile relationship with England, so the diploma from that country will not be valid when it returns to Hong Kong, so its gold-plating value will be greatly reduced.

Lizhi had a good idea, but she fell silent when she learned about the cost of studying in these two countries.

The annual tuition fees for private universities in the United States range from eight thousand to twenty thousand.

(This is because the tuition fees required vary depending on the type of school and the state and city where it is located.)
In addition to the tuition fees that must be paid every year, there are also necessary daily expenses such as accommodation, food, and transportation.

According to the most basic living needs and the living standards in the states and cities with the lowest consumption, the minimum cost per person per year is 4,000 yuan, with no upper limit.

(This is a cost that is generated based on different regions and personal consumption habits. This is the same as the consumption level and concept of Shanghai's white-collar workers, which are definitely not the same as those of rural people who make a living by farming.)
Based on the worst school and the lowest cost, if Lizhi wants to study in the United States, she will have to spend at least 12,000 dollars a year.

This amount of money is in Hong Kong dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, according to the latest exchange rate of 1 to 9.6 this year, the annual cost for Li Zhi to study in the United States will be at least Hong Kong dollars.

Based on Li Zhi's current monthly salary of just over a thousand yuan at Hao's Boutique Leisure, she wants to save enough money for a year's study abroad.

Even if you don't eat, drink or spend a penny, you will still need to save for 8 months, which is about 3 years or almost 6 years.

If calculated based on four years of college, it would take Lizhi about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years to save enough money. In that many years, her son would be able to get married and have children.

So, when Lizhi walked into this study abroad agency, she was full of confidence, but when she came out, she was frustrated and worried.

Along the way, Lizhi was thinking about whether her father would spend such a large sum of money to send her to study abroad in college. It was not until she reached the door of her home that she collected her messy thoughts.

However, when Lizhi heard her stepmother's voice coming from the room, the expression on her face became even more bitter.

Lizhi recalled that after Hao Hongmin came to Hong Kong, her boss paid to send her to one of the two most famous universities in Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

(Currently, only Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Chinese University have been recognized by local citizens. Other universities, no matter how good their facilities are, are far behind in this respect.)
But her father only mentioned once that she should continue to go to school since she came to Hong Kong, but this proposal was shelved due to her stepmother's disturbance.

Li Zhi has learned a lot about the situation in Hong Kong during this period. She knows that in Hong Kong, as long as you don't go to the two most famous universities in the area, other universities will not cost much money.

Even so, Lizhi was not sent to school at the beginning, and her family did not give her any pocket money, otherwise she would not have gone to work for the Hao family.

Nowadays, the cost of studying abroad is dozens or hundreds of times that of studying in Hong Kong.

Therefore, Lizhi had not held out much hope of convincing her father to let her go to college abroad before she even entered the door.

However, Lizhi still decided to give it a try, otherwise she would not give up.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Han Li was rushing to the place where he had an appointment with Wen Bixia. He had no idea about the mess in Li Zhi's mind.

If Han Li knew about this, he would definitely complain harshly. He might be jealous, but he would never take the initiative to touch the other person.

And what is that burning gaze? It is a man's appreciation of beautiful things.

Although her makeup is not very good and her clothes are very tacky, she has a nice figure. Why can't I look at such a beautiful thing in front of me?

Then again, looking at beautiful women (handsome men) can make people happy. If you can't see beautiful things for a long time, you will live at least two years less.

Wen Bixia: "Brother Han."
