Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1653 Let's meet anyway.
Chung Chu-hung said that Luo Yu-ze didn't say anything on the phone, but Han Li didn't need to guess what it was about; it was definitely about Liu Xiao-ting and the others about to return to China.

To be honest, Han Li has been really busy and slow lately, and he doesn't really want to see these people.

Moreover, of these people, only Liu Xiaoqing had met Han Li once before; the others were complete strangers.

As expected, Han Li will have to make better use of his already limited free time.

At this moment, Chung Chu-hung had already thrown Han Li's clothes into the laundry basket, put away his briefcase, and pushed him to the bathroom to wash his face. His thoughts were interrupted, so he simply stopped thinking about it and left it to luck whether he could see him in the next couple of days.

At this moment, Han Li forgot one thing: Liu Xiaoqing would be invited to the first Spring Festival Gala this year, becoming the first female host of the show.

Moreover, the red shirt and black printed skirt that Liu Xiaoqing bought for HK$5 (HK$2) at a roadside stall in Xiangjiang became a hot item and an object of imitation for many women, and it seems to have been called "Xiaoqing shirt".

Unfortunately, Han Li didn't think of it, otherwise he would have taken Chung Chu-hung to meet her and provided her with a few sets of "Sunshine" and "Phoenix" brand clothes for free.

Of course, it's impossible to get Han Li to sponsor the entire program. He's not the protagonist of some novels, he doesn't have any taboo words attached to him, and he's not surrounded by the halo of being mentally challenged. Everything has to be based on the actual situation.

Of course, the TV station's gala would not accept a sponsorship from a Hong Kong company.

Back then, the hotel was built to a very high standard, especially considering that foreigners visiting Beijing had no decent hotels to stay in.

Despite numerous discussions, no agreement was reached, and the restaurant would not have been built if "that person" had not made the final decision.

What level is a small clothing company in Hong Kong? What if they accepted your sponsorship?

Does this mean that people in Beijing can't afford clothes anymore?
Who would dare wear this hat?
Getting back to the main point, Han Li's family was playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) in a competitive two-against-one poker tournament that evening.

Rockets, bombs, pairs, straights, consecutive pairs, planes, and trains were played one after another, and Han Li was the dealer and won every single hand.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Han Li and the other two went out together and went downstairs, then parted ways in the parking lot.

The Chung sisters continued to attend to their garment company business, while Han Li went to Hong Kong University to complete his teaching duties.

However, after arriving at his office, Han Li first inquired about the academic progress of the two students who were helping him clean.

After letting Luo Yuze and Xu Caihan leave, Han Li picked up the phone and made a round of calls, giving instructions and making arrangements as needed. Only then did he drink tea and organize his lesson preparation notes.

When the time came, Han Li went straight to the classroom for class. When get out of class ended, he gave Luo Yuze a wink, signaling him to come to his office later.

Not long after Han Li returned to his office, Luo Yuze arrived. It was almost noon by then, and Han Li took him to deliver lunch to Liu Xiaoqing's film crew.

Luo Yuze gave them directions, and the two of them first arrived at Changwang Street in Tsim Mong District, which his father controlled for the triad, and stopped in front of a small eatery.

The main reason Luo Yuze chose to eat at a small eatery on this street was because he had influence on the street, and the owner wouldn't dare to cheat him with inferior food.

Another factor is neighborhood relations. Not all gangsters are brutes; they also need to maintain relationships with their neighbors. Of course, they'll give business to acquaintances. The restaurant Luo Yuze chose was a husband-and-wife-run business, and by this time, they had already prepared all the food and boxed meals that Luo Yuze had ordered.

When the boss saw Luo Yuze coming over, he offered him a cigarette and told his wife to hurry up and load the things into the car so as not to delay things.

After Luo Yuze took the cigarette from the boss, he helped load the car while calling the owner of the nearby convenience store to load a few cases of drinks, a few cases of frozen beer, and a few cartons of cigarettes onto the car.

Cigarettes, alcohol, and beverages weren't originally provided. This time, Han Li was visiting his fellow villagers, so things couldn't be the same as before. Therefore, he asked Luo Yuze to add these items on the way here.

Han Li didn't prepare any extra food.
There's no need for that. Han Li is just an ordinary teacher, not some rich boss. It's already quite generous of him to be able to treat a dozen or twenty fellow villagers to meals for ten days straight.

Who can say he didn't try his best? Or that he didn't provide adequate hospitality?
After everything was loaded, the snack shop owner drove the van, with Han Li and Luo Yuze following behind, heading towards the film set where Liu Xiaoqing was shooting.

When Han Li arrived, the Hong Kong actors in the film crew had already started their meal.

Liu Xiaoqing and her group sat under the shade of a tree to rest and chat, discussing the filming that morning.

Some people, whether tempted by the food of the actors in Hong Kong or genuinely hungry, would occasionally glance at the road where cars were coming from.

When they saw the familiar food delivery van appear, they reached out and patted the person next to them.

"Everyone, stop chatting, our food truck is here, let's get ready to eat."

At this moment, Liu Xiaoqing and the others saw the car following behind the van. Anyone with a good head would recognize it at a glance as the same car they had seen last time, which was also the vehicle driven by the person who helped them improve their meals.

The scene suddenly became much more lively than before. People who had been sitting casually on the ground without caring about their image quickly stood up and straightened their clothes, while those who hadn't removed their makeup turned around and went to the tap to wash their faces.

Liu Xiaoqing also saw Han Li's car. She nervously straightened her clothes and quickly went to greet it, with the others following behind her.

"Teacher Han, you're here! I thought I wouldn't have a chance to thank you before I went back to China."

Han Li: "I'm really sorry, I've had too much work on my hands lately. I'm busy during the day, rushing to finish manuscripts and taking notes at night. I finish work around midnight every day."

After hearing from my student Yuze today that you were going back to China, I rushed to catch up on my work and came over immediately.

Anyone can say nice things or make excuses; Han Li easily found a reason for not contacting them.

Luo Yuze chimed in, but only a few people could understand what he said. Most people could only guess from his gestures and appearance.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone present, Han Li, with the help of others, unloaded all the food from the snack shop.

Seeing this, Han Li started to invite everyone to eat, and at the same time asked Luo Yuze to distribute beer, drinks and cigarettes to everyone.
