Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1639 The Spirit of a Scholar? ??

Han Li learned this while chatting with Wen Bixia and Director Li and Editor Wen during their first small gathering.

From the 1950s and 60s onwards, during filming, the meals and lunch boxes needed by the actors and staff were basically all delivered by members of Hong Kong triads. It could be said that they monopolized this business.

Of course, not just any gang could offer this service. Back then, those gangs went through numerous "negotiations" with other gangs, practically beating each other senseless, before finally securing this business opportunity.

Even if they get it, it doesn't mean they can keep it forever. They also have to be wary of gangsters coming to steal their business and cause trouble.

According to Director Li and Editor Wen, the groups that deliver meals to the film crew have changed countless times over the years.

Therefore, Han Li wanted to resolve the issue of Liu Xiaoqing and the others eating on set recently, as simply delivering food to them could easily cause some unnecessary trouble.

Han Li looked down on those Hong Kong triads, and besides, he was now a professor at Hong Kong University; associating with those people would be self-degrading and a sign of moral decay.

This isn't because Han Li thinks too highly of himself; it's just how things are in the circles and atmosphere at Hong Kong University.

Regardless of whether these teachers are intellectuals with integrity or simply maintain their moral purity, they all despise, reject, and even loathe those involved in organized crime or gangs.

This can be seen from the situation encountered by Han Li's student, Luo Yuze. Although he was admitted to Hong Kong University, worked very hard, and was very respectful to his teachers, no teacher was willing to take him under their wing.

After Han Li rashly accepted Luo Yuze's offer, several teachers offered him subtle reminders.

The general idea is that some people are influenced by their families from a young age and have deeply ingrained bad habits, which may lead them to do something bad one day.

However, a teacher's reputation in the field is very important; if it's not handled well, it's easy for one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch.

However, Han Li had already accepted Luo Yuze and registered him at the academy office. If he were to withdraw from the relationship, it would have a worse impact on both himself and Luo Yuze.

Therefore, Han Li could only laugh off these seemingly well-intentioned but belated reminders.

Getting back to the main point, what kind of person is what kind of use?

In this situation, it would be more appropriate for Han Li to have Luo Yuze or his father handle it.

They were all involved in various clubs. Even if they weren't from the same club, as long as they discussed it, feeding a dozen or so people for ten days wouldn't be a problem.

Han Li thought this way and did this way. After driving back to Jia Hui Garden, he drank tea and studied. After estimating that Luo Yuze had returned home, he picked up the phone and made a call.

When Han Li mentioned this to Luo Yuze over the phone, Luo Yuze immediately agreed, saying he would contact those people later and try to ensure that the teacher's fellow villagers could have a delicious meal by tomorrow morning.

Han Li certainly couldn't let his student pay for it, so he asked Luo Yuze to wait for him in his office after school the next day.

Just as Han Li was about to hang up after speaking, Luo Yuze said that one day when he went to clean the teaching building, he met a girl named Zhou Huimin who was looking for him.

After Luo Yuze noted down the girl's name and sent her away, he heard from the security personnel that the girl had come several times in the past two days.

Han Li didn't expect that after meeting Zhou Huimin at Longhu Mountain that day, she would actually come over.

However, Han Li thought about it again. St. Stephen's College, where Zhou Huimin studied, was only two streets away from Hong Kong University. The straight-line distance between the two places was less than 100 meters. It was not surprising that she could take a walk over after class without affecting her next class.

The next day, after breakfast, Han Li went to his office at Xiangjiang University. His two students, Luo Yuze and Xu Caihan, had already finished cleaning and were waiting for him there.

Han Li inquired about their current studies and research progress, offered some guidance, and then asked Xu Caihan to leave first.

Afterwards, Han Li inquired about the food delivery with Luo Yuze, and after forcibly giving him the required money, the matter was considered closed.

After Luo Yuze left, Han Li made a series of routine phone calls in his office, but there was no progress on the matters handled by Attorney Jin and Anita Koch.

Keenan Spencer said that Delina Hecker, who was originally the general manager of Armani, had booked her flight for today and would arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon. He asked Han Li to interview her the day after tomorrow morning.

After hanging up the phone, Han Li wrote down what he needed to remember, smoked for a while, prepared for his next class, and then left the office.

However, not long after Han Li walked out of the teaching building, he saw Zhou Huimin, who was wearing a school uniform, walking towards him. Upon seeing him, Zhou Huimin started to jog and began to greet him from a distance.

"Han Sheng, Han Sheng..."

Han Li: "Xiao Huimin, did you come over during break time? Or did someone take over the playground again?"

Zhou Huimin: "It's break time now, half an hour, so I thought I'd come and take a look."

Han Li: "It's only a half-hour break between classes. The sun outside is too strong. Come sit in my office for a while, and I'll take you back to class when it's time."

Zhou Huimin came here specifically to see Han Li, so of course he wouldn't object to this suggestion.

Han Li led Zhou Huimin upstairs to his office, talking as they walked.

"I haven't spent much time at school lately. My students told me you've come by a few times today. Is there something you need my help with, Xiao Huimin?"

Zhou Huimin didn't have anything to help with, and she didn't know why she had been coming over so frequently. Now that Han Li was asked, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and then he stammered out a reply.

"I didn't have anything to do during break, so I just walked over."

Han Li smiled and changed the subject. The two chatted casually until they arrived at his office.

Half an hour is neither long nor short. The two of them mostly talked about musical instruments. When the time was up, Han Li took Zhou Huimin to the entrance of St. Stephen's Church Middle School and watched her walk into the school before leaving.

Afterwards, Han Li drove home to drink tea, read books, and study. However, when he wanted to change his mood today, he played the piano in the music room for a while.

While Han Li was having dinner with the Chung sisters, chatting and laughing, Zhou Huimin was somewhat distracted while eating with her mother.

Although Zhou Huimin's mother is usually very busy, which means she rarely has heart-to-heart talks with her daughter, as someone who has been through it all, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her daughter today, so she asked her what was wrong.

"Darling, is today's food not to your liking?"

Zhou Huimin: "Oh no, Mom's cooking is still as delicious as ever."

Zhou's mother: "Really? Then why do you look so distracted? Is someone bullying you at school again?"
