Chapter 1666 First Meeting with "Brother"

When Han Li left the Hao family, it was already past three in the afternoon, and Hao Jianghe was still asleep.

Although Jing Shujuan didn't drink much, she did drink a little.
In addition, she was reminiscing about her life in Shanghai a few years ago, which caused her to experience significant emotional fluctuations.

This made her a little more unrestrained and reckless than usual today.

However, this also gave Han Li more and more room to maneuver and operate.

In the end, no one saw Han Li off when he left. He closed the door leading to the fifth floor, went downstairs, gave some instructions to the waiter, and then left.

After driving home, Han Li took a shower, changed into comfortable loungewear, and then settled into his daily routine of drinking tea, reading, and studying.

Recently, the newly appointed general manager of Italian Milan, Delina Heck, has placed a series of new clothing designs and orders with Hong Kong Hung Yun Garment Company.

Because these garments cannot currently be manufactured in Pengcheng, this has directly disrupted the garment company's original production schedule, resulting in a shortage of supplies.

Therefore, Cherie Chung has been extremely busy lately. Not only does she need to recruit some new employees with good skills, but she also needs to plan to buy or rent land next to the company to expand the workshop and warehouse.

Although Chung Chor-hung was very busy, she was happy. The better the company did, the closer she would be to her husband's hometown.

Of course, even though she was happy, Chung Chor-hung would still confide in her husband when she got home.

Han Li could only try his best to provide Chung Chu-hung with emotional guidance and comfort.

At most, he could offer some advice; it was absolutely impossible for him to personally intervene and help. Otherwise, what would have been the point of guiding Chung Chor-hung to this point?

The next day, after breakfast, Han Li and his two companions went out together.

The Chung sisters rushed off to work, while Han Li leisurely drove to Hong Kong University.

What about Li Lizhen? Forgotten?
Han Li had completely forgotten about Li Lizhen these past two days. He came to Xiangjiang University today to complete the original commissions at the school office and the college office, and to register the new commissions in order to maintain his influence on campus.

Li Lizhen was young after all, and she didn't have much patience. After waiting for three days without receiving a call, she gradually returned to her previous life.

Every day I go to school, and if I don't want to attend class, I skip school to go out and play, wander around the streets, and see if I can meet my mentor again, just like before.

Han Li completed an existing commission at the school office and the college office today, re-registered the previous commission, and then left the school.

Next, Han Li went to the telecommunications company and added a fax service to the phone in his apartment downstairs in Jia Hui Yuan. He also bought a fax machine, ink, and some special printing paper there.

After finishing this task, Han Li suddenly remembered the salt-baked crab at the seafood stall in Saigon, so he drove through the undersea tunnel to Saigon.

Unlike the usual quiet and solitary atmosphere, Han Li was enjoying his salt-baked crab when a few young men came to the door. One of them glanced around the shop, greeted him, and walked towards him.

"Mr. Han, what a coincidence, you're having dinner here today too?"

Han Li looked up and saw that the person was Mei Yanfang, whom he had seen near the dock a few days ago. As for the young people who came with her, they were selecting food in the seafood selection area at the entrance, and their appearances could not be seen clearly.

"Ah Mei, what a coincidence! Let's sit down together."

Mei Yanfang: "I came with a friend today. Let's do it another day. I'll treat Mr. Han to dinner another day." Han Li nodded and was about to say something polite to end the conversation when he saw that the people who came with Mei Yanfang had already selected the ingredients and were telling the waiter how to cook them.

This wouldn't have been a big deal in itself, but the key point was that Han Li saw that one of the people was actually his "brother" Zhang Guorong. Considering that the two of them should be signed to the same record company now, it wouldn't be surprising that they could have dinner together.

Zhang Guorong's appearance made Han Li swallow the words he was about to say and change his mind.

"Everyone is usually quite busy, so it's not easy to run into each other. Since we're meeting by chance, how about this: I'll treat you today, and you can invite your colleagues over to join us?"

Mei Yanfang: "I would love to have dinner with Mr. Han, but I need to discuss this with my friends."

After seeing Han Li nod, Mei Yanfang immediately turned around to discuss things with her friends.

While Mei Yanfang was discussing it with her friends, Han Li was also recalling Zhang Guorong's situation.

Zhang Guorong came from a very wealthy family. Her father was once one of the owners of four major Western-style clothing stores in Hong Kong, and the foreigners in the British colonial government were frequent customers of their home.

However, with the increasing convenience of transportation in recent years, foreigners are more inclined to return to their home countries to have their clothes custom-made.

Furthermore, as mechanization gradually replaced manual labor, the Zhang family failed to adapt in time, leading to their business declining further and further.

However, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. Not to mention that the Zhang family has already raised their children and accumulated wealth, the value attached to their land alone is enough for 95% of the people in Hong Kong to never catch up in their lifetime.

While others sing and act to make a living, Zhang Guorong does it out of personal interest.

Speaking of hobbies, Han Li felt a little envious of Zhang Guorong.

Han Li himself doesn't even know what his hobbies are. This is certainly related to his childhood environment, but it's also related to his overly laid-back personality.

As Han Li was recalling Zhang Guorong's situation, Mei Yanfang, having already discussed it with her friends, walked over with an apologetic expression and said...

"Mr. Han, I'm so sorry, but two of my friends have rather different personalities. They're usually very quiet and don't like interacting with strangers, so..."

Han Li interrupted Mei Yanfang with a smile before she could finish speaking, saying that he didn't mind and that they could get together again next time.

The reason Han Li said that was mainly because he wanted to get to know "brother".

However, since some of them are now resisting, Han Li won't offer his warm welcome to someone who is unresponsive, even if that person is his "brother".

After the beer they ordered arrived, Mei Yanfang brought over two bottles and drank one with Han Li, then said some embarrassed things.

When Han Li left, having eaten and drunk his fill, Mei Yanfang chased after him to see him off. They made a promise at the door that she would treat him to dinner sometime, and only then did the matter come to an end.

However, this incident still made Han Li feel somewhat uncomfortable. After driving away from Saigon, he did not go straight home, but instead made a turn halfway and came to a beach under his name.

Han Li originally came here to enjoy the sea breeze, relax, and find a cool place to take a nap and solve his problem of resting for the afternoon.

However, to his surprise, this trip yielded other unexpected gains.
