Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1596 Hotel
In any case, from today onwards, Han Li's doctoral studies will be much freer.

Over the next few days, Han Li first bought all the books on the list and then called his family in Beijing on a Sunday morning.

Han Li first learned from his mother that everything at home was normal. Everyone was going to work as usual, and when they came home, they were playing with their children. Everything was going smoothly at work.

After Han's mother laid out in detail the possible situations that might arise after marrying far away, Han Erjie and Wang Weihua from Yingkou, Liaoning Province, failed to reach an agreement on this matter, and now there is absolutely no follow-up.

Many men were introduced to Han Sanmei, but for some reason, she didn't go to meet any of them, which made Han's mother so angry that she scolded her many times.

Also, quite a few people have been introduced to Qi Xiaomei lately, but this girl is just as troublesome, saying that she has no intention of getting married or marrying anyone in this lifetime.

Han's dad? Han's dad has been busy lately. Every Sunday he goes to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to look for pretty goldfish.

Goldfish? Don't we have some at home?

Now they're gone. The goldfish we used to keep at home were caught and killed by the two brothers, Da Ming and Xiao Ming.

Knowing it was an international call, Han's mother spoke very quickly, then handed the phone to the Yun sisters and He Mi.

Yun Yingying and her friends told Han Li that the two brothers, Da Ming and Xiao Ming, had become quite the bullies at the kindergarten recently, and she and her mother had to apologize to other children's parents quite a few times because of this.

Xiao Liang has become increasingly clingy lately; he can't stand not being with Han's mom for even a short while.

Sanming and Erliang are changing every day; they can now sit up for more than ten minutes on their own.

Next to speak to Han Li were the Han sisters, Hou Yuhua, Qi Xiaomei, and Wang Chunhua.

After everyone had spoken, Han Li hadn't even had a chance to react when his mother said that international calls were too expensive and hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from the microphone, Han Li hung up the phone, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Han Li has now finalized his major, and Professor Giovanni Morrick has approved his courses and credits.

Therefore, Han Li didn't plan to stay at the University of Pennsylvania. He would just come back before the credit assessment in two months.

Back to Hong Kong?
Not yet, because Han Li needs to do something in New York before returning to Hong Kong.

Going to New York? Perhaps to see Lizhi and check on her recent development?
Of course not. Han Li has important business to attend to in New York this time. He will only consider helping Li Zhi get a medical check-up if he has some free time in between.

After Han Li finished making the phone call on the street and returned to his residence, he took out the plan he had written in Hong Kong from his spatial storage, pondered it again, and made up his mind.

Han Li then struggled with the decision of when to go to New York, because he wanted to drive there to see the American Highway 1 and experience the so-called Western spirit they talked about.

However, driving there would take too long, and if some unpleasant things happened along the way that delayed him, it might affect the important matter that Han Li wanted to handle.

Moreover, such a long road and such a long time, it would be a bit boring to drive alone. Han Li hasn't found a female companion yet, and there are no suitable candidates right now.

So, after hesitating for a while, Han Li decided to take care of the important business first. Anyway, Highway 1 is there and won't disappear. It's just that it will be a little more difficult to travel and there will be more messy things on the road.

After making up his mind, Han Li immediately began packing. He put his usual tea set into his spatial storage, packed two pieces of clothing as a formality, and left everything else unattended. The abandoned city and New York were only a little over 100 to 200 kilometers apart. Han Li made up his mind in the morning, bought a train ticket at noon, and set foot on New York soil around 4 p.m.

The New York train station has many more entrances than the abandoned city area, at least several times more.

However, Han Li had a very bad impression of this place. As soon as he got off the train, he was overwhelmed by the stench of urine and other unknown smells on the platform.

Let's leave those aside, since there are so many people coming and going here, from all over the world, and most of them are poor, while the rich all travel by plane.

To be honest, if the abandoned city weren't so close to New York, Han Li would have chosen airplanes as his mode of transportation if he wanted to experience American trains.

The taste was nothing compared to what Han Li had encountered – three groups of pickpockets stealing his bag before he even left the station.

Although Han Li's money wasn't stolen, the briefcase he used as a prop was slashed with a long gash and rendered useless.

However, Han Li used the thief's own methods against him, using his cheat ability to take the money from the thief. Overall, he not only suffered no loss but actually made a small profit.

The waiting hall at New York train station was quite nice; at least it didn't smell so bad.

However, when Han Li walked out of New York train station, he found that the situation was much better. At least there were police officers patrolling nearby, so he was not robbed again while waiting for a taxi.

If you were to come to New York in this era and decide where to stay, I think many bigwigs would think of the Plaza Hotel.

A few years later, after Little Red Dot signed the Plaza Accord at this hotel, they slipped from peak season.

Han Li thought the same thing. After hailing a taxi, he told the driver the name of the Plaza Hotel.

Money doesn't matter to Han Li; he's not short of money, and there are better hotels to choose from. The main reason he chose the Plaza Hotel is to see and experience what the hotel that Little Red Dot has been feeling stifled for so many years is like and what it feels like.

The Plaza Hotel truly lives up to its reputation as one of New York's most luxurious hotels; all the cars parked there are luxury vehicles.

When Han Li arrived by taxi, if the driver hadn't parked the car right in front of the hotel, which was very conspicuous, no doorman would have come to greet him.

Han Li followed the doorman to the lobby on the first floor where guests were registered. Needless to say, the decor here was superb; otherwise, it wouldn't have become a gathering place for New York's upper class.

The lobby has three floors and is divided into three functional areas: a ballroom, a lounge, and a bar.

The first floor is a place for guests to rest temporarily and check in. The second and third floors are the lobby bar and dance hall. The oil paintings on the walls are said to be all masterpieces and genuine works.

The Plaza Hotel currently has a total of 282 guest rooms and 181 apartments, which are further divided into three, six, and nine grades based on size, function, decoration, and service.

Han Li booked a deluxe king room at a mid-to-low price; he did not choose suites, apartments, or any other luxurious suites with private butlers.

It wasn't that he didn't have the money; the main problem was that Han Li didn't want to stand out or attract attention.

Even so, before Han Li even reached his room with the waiter, he was handed several business cards.
