Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1612 Homecoming Surprise
The reason Han Li didn't let Maeve Lawson take him to the airport was because he didn't want her to fly somewhere on her own for the time being.

So last night he started working hard, and this morning after forcibly turning on the machine, he went through many of the actions again without any regard for the consequences.

So when Han Li left the Plaza Hotel, Maeve Lawson couldn't see him off even if she wanted to; she could only lean against the headboard and watch him leave with longing eyes.

However, just as Han Li was about to leave, Maeve Lawson sat up straight and shouted at him.

"Han, I'll come to the University of Pennsylvania to see you when I'm on vacation."

Upon hearing this, Han Li turned around and said with a smile, "Remember to call me before you go. What if I happen to be sent out by my mentor to do research when you arrive? You'll have made a wasted trip."

After seeing Maeve Lawson nod, Han Li smiled, waved, opened and closed the door, and left the room and the Plaza Hotel.

It's not surprising that Maeve Lawson knew Han Li was pursuing a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania and also knew where he lived.

This was something Han Li specifically told Maeve Lawson, because he was a coward.

Because Han Li needs to stay in the United States frequently while pursuing his doctorate, and the duration of each stay is uncertain.

It might take as little as half a month, or as long as several months, half a year, or even longer.

Therefore, while Han Li was in the United States, he needed to consider his personal physiological needs.

The United States has a very open culture, with parties and gatherings held under various pretexts.

There are many bars and nightclubs around the University of Pennsylvania, so it would be easy for Han Li to take care of his personal physiological needs.

However, the United States is currently experiencing an outbreak and spread of AIDS, and Han Li cannot be too cautious if he wants to avoid contracting the disease.

At the very least, before Han Li had seen an AIDS patient with his own eyes and before he knew whether the "golden finger" would work, he would absolutely not risk his bright future.

This trip to New York and meeting Maeve Lawson solved the problem. Even if she hadn't come, Han Li would have called her over whenever he needed her and didn't have a safe person to rely on.

Anyway, it's only a little over 100 kilometers from Pennsylvania to New York, and it only takes a little over an hour or two by train. If you take a plane, it will take even less time.

If you set off in the evening, you can arrive before nightfall, have a nice night's sleep, and if you leave early the next day, it won't affect Maeve Lawson's classes.

When Han Li arrived at the airport and sat in the first-class waiting room, he was already thinking that next time he came, he would definitely get a driver's license from the United States.

Han Li didn't know how long it would take him to complete his doctoral studies, and having a driver's license from the United States would be more convenient.

First of all, if Han Li had a local driver's license, it would be more convenient for him to go wherever he wanted. At the very least, it would be faster and more convenient for him to go to New York to communicate and exchange ideas with Maeve Lawson.

In addition, Han Li definitely wants to take a road trip along Highway 1 in the beautiful country.

Whether it's for his studies, academic papers, or to experience the Western spirit as described by foreigners and see what makes this road so appealing, this trip is essential for Han Li.

Therefore, Han Li needs to obtain a driver's license from the United States. However, Han Li currently has no idea how international students can obtain a driver's license, so he can only keep this as a mental record for the time being.

Because he had planned the time in advance, Han Li did not stay in the waiting room for too long before the flight attendant came over with a smile to guide him to board the plane.

After a long and tedious flight, during which the airwaves of a flight attendant singing something that made one's blood boil came from the restroom more than once, Han Li finally set foot on the land of Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong at around 3 p.m. today.

Although Han Li's trip to the University of Pennsylvania and back was only about twenty days, when he stepped out of the airport and heard the enthusiastic Cantonese voices soliciting customers all around him, he still felt an extra sense of warmth and comfort.

At this moment, Han Li couldn't help but think that if he were hearing the Beijing dialect, it would probably feel more intimate and comfortable.
After thinking about this, Han Li himself didn't know how he felt.

Han Li quickly shook the thought out of his mind, reached out and opened a taxi waiting for passengers on the roadside, got in and said to the driver.

"Half-Mountain Jia Hui Garden".

After the taxi started moving, Han Li closed his eyes and began to think about some trivial matters in Hong Kong.

Finally, he figured out how he could make a killing on the soon-to-be-bankrupt Jia Ning Group to expand his own empire.

Han Li was not interested in the foreign trade, shipping, tourism, insurance, and pest control industries controlled by Jia Ning Company.

Han Li was most interested in the 75% stake in the Jin Gate Building held by Jia Ning Company, because it was located on Xiaque Road in Admiralty, South Island of Hong Kong, and its value and influence were incomparable to those areas on the North Island of Hong Kong.

However, Han Li also knew that the Jinmen Building was the most lucrative piece of meat, and many people were eyeing it, including big names from various industries. His chances of taking it over were extremely slim.

If things continue as they were, the Jinmen Building Society's interests will be taken over by American banks. Han Li doesn't really believe they have nothing to do with it.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Han Li to achieve this goal, but he temporarily put aside the issue of Jinmen Building's rights and interests.

He started considering projects under Jia Ning Company, such as the taxi company with hundreds of licenses, hotels and restaurants in excellent locations, undeveloped land, developed real estate, and film production companies—projects he was confident he could secure.

However, these projects cannot be acquired simply by shorting Jia Ning Group's stock. If Han Li wants to achieve his goal, he needs to find an intermediary to persuade them at the most opportune time.

The middleman was easy to talk to; those foreign law firms were very willing to take on the case.

The most difficult part is seizing the right moment; it's not good to have the middleman contact the other party too early or too late.

Han Li had too little information at the moment, and before he could even come up with a solution, the taxi had already arrived at Jia Hui Garden.

Han Li temporarily put aside what was on his mind, took out money to pay the driver, and then carried the luggage he had been using as a cover up to go upstairs and go home.

Han Li figured that Zhong Chuhong should be busy at the company at this time, so he would go home, take a shower, change his clothes, and give her a surprise.

What Han Li didn't expect was that before he could give Chung Chu-hung a surprise after returning home, he received a "surprise" himself first.
