Chapter 1606 Current Social Trends
After hearing Maeve Lawson say that, Han Li stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at her.

"Oh, you think so too, that barrier-free communication between people is the most correct thing?"

Maeve Lawson nodded quickly after hearing this, but Han Li spoke up again at this moment.

"I'm very glad you agree with me, but so what? It's better for everyone to be careful. If you get HIV, it'll be all over. So let's take it easy."

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, Maeve Lawson quickly spoke up from the side.

"Sir, I have never had a boyfriend, so I definitely don't have that disgusting disease."

After hearing what Maeve Lawson said, Han Li knew that the time was almost right, so he smiled and asked.

What do you mean by that?

Maeve Lawson had gone all out at this point, bringing up the topic of the evening again and going on and on about the difficulties she would face in a little over a year.

After Maeve Lawson finished speaking, Han Li did not respond immediately. Just when she was about to think that there was no hope, Han Li nodded slightly and spoke.

“I sympathize with your situation. Well, you’re a local from New York, so you must know that this is the best place to visit and see the sights right now.”

After I finish what I'm doing, how about you be my tour guide for a day? Of course, I won't let you work for nothing; all the expenses during the day will be on me, and I'll even give you the corresponding tour guide fee at the end.

Regarding what you just mentioned, you should consider whether it's a long-term or temporary exchange. How about we discuss it after we finish our sightseeing today?

Han Li said this because he didn't immediately eat the fresh and tender meat.

The main reason is to prevent Maeve Lawson from pulling any honey trap or similar tricks.

As for age, it's not a problem at all, because in the US these days, it's not an issue at all. As long as both sides are willing, it's just normal communication and exchange between people.

This situation, besides being influenced by current trends, has its basis and tradition in the local area.

For example, there are regulations in Hong Kong and Macau that stipulate that one can only get married at the age of sixteen.

From the perspective of the United States, these are problems such as being old-fashioned, conservative, and depriving people of their rights.

The situation is very different in the United States, where ketosis is legal in this era and throughout the country.

This kind of thing is so normal that even the bride's family doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, so normal that nobody pays any attention to it, so normal that "under normal circumstances" even the media doesn't bother to publish this kind of news.

That's because this kind of thing has been a tradition on this land ever since Western Europe set foot there.

Even in the 22nd century, in that era of global networks and the time when those boxers ran rampant, this situation persisted.

This tradition has been firmly upheld in the United States, with 80% of the states still recognizing it as legal.

Getting back to the main point, Han Li then took Maeve Lawson by taxi to a well-known firm in New York that specializes in helping clients register companies and handle other related business.

However, Han Li didn't let Maeve Lawson follow him inside. Instead, he gave her money to eat breakfast at a nearby restaurant, something she hadn't had time for since rushing to the Plaza Hotel that morning. Inside, Han Li commissioned the firm to register two companies: a technology company and a regular foreign trade company.

The company's legal representative is neither Han Li nor Han Feiyu; his local agent is still being trained.

Therefore, this technology company was registered under the name of Hua·Shi's investment company.

The foreign trade company is registered under the name of Agatsuma Limited Liability Company and is wholly controlled by the two companies registered in the Kaman Islands.

Although this firm specializes in this kind of business, there is still a process involved, and it takes a certain amount of time to complete everything.

The agency promised Han Li that everything would be completed in three to five days, and that would be the end of the matter.

When Han Li finished his business and came out of the office, Maeve Lawson had already finished eating and was waiting at the door.

Next, under the other party's guidance, Han Li embarked on his first sightseeing trip in New York.

Although New York is currently one of the most prosperous and wealthy cities in the world, Han Li is not interested in things that are out in the open.

At Han Li's request, Maeve Lawson began to lead him away from those bustling, glamorous, and exquisite streets and into areas that were relatively safe.

While wandering around, Han Li learned from Maeve Lawson, a local native, that there are two areas in New York that ordinary people should not set foot in, even during the day.

The first is Harlem, which is now completely occupied by ethnic minorities such as Blacks, Mexicans, and Latinos.

In Harlem, not only can white people not enter, but even the ethnic minorities living there must be constantly on guard to prevent being shot or ambushed.

Another area is Bronks, which is gradually being encroached upon by ethnic minorities, although there are still some low-income white people living there who cannot afford to move.

However, it is currently the most dangerous area in all of New York, with gunshots almost every day, fresh bodies being produced daily, and frequent reports of women being assaulted in Bronks.

These two areas are currently the places that many people in New York, especially women, are most reluctant to enter.

Although Maeve Lawson didn't take Han Li to New York's infamous Harlem and Bronks neighborhoods, things changed once they left those glamorous main streets.

Even though these areas and streets are still predominantly inhabited by white people, the walls are still covered in various satirical and pornographic graffiti.

There was more garbage and sewage on the ground. Although it wasn't so bad that you couldn't walk on it, it was a world of difference compared to the main streets.

This situation has led those in New York who have the means to do so to escape the city and move to the more remote suburbs for a more comfortable and safer life.

These people also know that life in the suburbs is inconvenient, as commuting by car takes one to two hours every day, and it is also difficult to purchase various supplies.

However, it is precisely because it is so far away that it is not easily accessible to ethnic minorities who like to cause trouble but are too poor to own a car, turning the suburbs, which are full of inconveniences, into a paradise.

As Han Li listened to Maeve Lawson recount these common-sense facts known to the locals of New York, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from a nearby street.
