Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1691 Finalized
In later generations, some foreigners who came to work in our country bought houses locally for comfortable living.

These foreigners are here enjoying the company of sheepdogs who practically fawn over them, and when they return home, they can sell their houses and make a fortune.

In other words, those foreigners get paid here, eat, live, and play for free, and when they leave, they can even make a profit from the increase in housing prices.

When Han Li looked at Maeve Lawson after thinking about this, the slight sense of indebtedness he felt towards Yixiantian had completely disappeared.

After Han Li returned to the hotel, Maeve Lawson did not see the so-called surprise, so she asked directly.

"Han, didn't you say you had a surprise for them?"

Han Li frowned slightly as soon as Maeve Lawson opened her mouth. Foreigners are foreigners; they don't have words like modesty or reserve in their bones.

However, considering Maeve Lawson's age, it was understandable, so Han Li swallowed the words he was about to say to her.

However, Han Li decided in his heart to teach her a good lesson later, using at least sixteen of the eighteen martial arts techniques.

Han Li reached out and pulled Maeve Lawson onto his lap, groping her all over while laughing as he spoke to her.

"I went out today specifically to prepare a surprise for you, but this surprise is too big to bring back. I'll take you there tomorrow morning, and then you'll be able to see it."

After Han Li finished speaking, Maeve Lawson, who was originally only wearing a cotton nightgown in the room, was now completely naked.

The next day, Han Li continued his boxing and martial arts practice in the morning as usual.

Because Maeve Lawson was too sleepy to wake up, Han Li ate breakfast alone.

Around 9 a.m., the heads of Sotheby's and Christie's, the two auction houses, visited one after the other to discuss the transaction of the wreckage of the Madame Attoca and the large amount of treasure.

However, seeing that they hadn't shown any sincerity in their offer, Han Li dismissed them by saying that his boss hadn't responded yet.

Around 11:30 a.m., Maeve Lawson was woken up by hunger, but her physical condition had almost recovered.

When Maeve Lawson finished washing up, changed her clothes, and took Han Li's hand as they walked out of the guest room, it was already past noon.

It wasn't that Maeve Lawson didn't want to hold Han Li's arm; it was simply that her current height didn't allow her to make such a move.

After having lunch at the Peninsula Hotel's restaurant, the two walked towards the west side of 57th Street, south of Central Park.

When Maeve Lawson arrived at the building, she thought Han Li was going to take her shopping.

Maeve Lawson was dumbfounded when she saw that Han Li hadn't led her into the building, but instead turned and headed towards the other side of the building's passageway.

When Maeve Lawson saw Han Li lead her into the residents' private passageway and into the private elevator, she roughly guessed what the surprise was.

At this moment, Maeve Lawson was very excited, and she even gripped Han Li's hand tightly. However, she dared not ask, for fear that the surprise would not be what she had imagined.

When the elevator stopped ascending and the elevator doors opened, Han Li pulled Maeve Lawson to the door, took out his key, and said as he opened the door.

"This house has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a floor area of ​​5720 square feet. You can clearly see the view of Central Park from the window. Come in and see if you like it. If you do, you can move in directly after you turn 16 and leave your foster family."

Maeve Lawson: "Han"

An hour later, Maeve Lawson, who had been carried by Han Li to admire all the rooms, was taking a bath in the huge bathtub in the bathroom.

Maeve Lawson looked tired, as if she had been completely drained.
But Maeve Lawson was in high spirits, especially when she turned her head and saw the view of Central Park. A happy smile appeared on her lips, and she scooped up water droplets with both hands and flicked them towards the glass of the tall French windows, as if to confirm whether what she was seeing was a dream.

After taking a shower and feeling fully recovered, Maeve Lawson changed her clothes, grabbed her keys, and went downstairs to the supermarket to pick out furniture, appliances, bedding, and daily necessities.

Han Li then went to two other docks in New York and rented warehouses in each of them that were conveniently located and about the same size as the one he had rented last time.

Han Li rented two more warehouses because he didn't trust those foreigners at all, no matter how much they talked about the spirit of contracts and how much contracts were paramount.

Moreover, this is New York, not Hong Kong, so it's always good to be a little more cautious.

After renting the warehouse, Han Li returned directly to the Peninsula Hotel and began his daily routine of drinking tea, reading, and studying.

Why not move into the house you bought?
This is because the matter of whether the treasure from the "Madame Attoca" will be auctioned or sold privately has not yet been finalized.

Before Sotheby's and Christie's give a definite answer, it's not appropriate for Han Li to leave the Peninsula Hotel. Otherwise, without any way to contact each other, the matter will be considered off.

Because of time constraints, Maeve Lawson didn't make much progress in selecting furniture and appliances, and returned to the Peninsula Hotel from her apartment in the evening.

Because of Han Li's excessive mining last night, and this morning and noon.

This caused the narrow passageway to become severely deformed, and there is still no sign of it returning to its original state.

Maeve Lawson was able to go to the supermarket to choose home appliances in the afternoon only because of her excitement. After returning to the hotel, she collapsed onto the sofa.

Unfortunately, Han Li can only eat vegetarian food tonight.

The next morning, the managers of Sotheby's and Christie's visited again.

After comparing and exchanging quotes, Sotheby's was more sincere in terms of price, commission discounts, and subsequent cooperation terms.

This also explains why Sotheby's has a wider customer base and a higher quality of clients.

Han Li went to great lengths to bring the Lady Atorca back to life in the waters off Florida, all for the sake of making money. He wanted to generate a clean source of funds for Hua Shi Investment Company, and to provide a legitimate source of funding for the future.

Whether considering the potential financial gain or laying a solid foundation for future cooperation, Han Li naturally chose Sotheby's Auction House.

After finalizing the general details with the manager of Sophobes that day, Han Li picked up the phone and called Anita Koch of the Hong Kong branch of the High T Brothers Law Firm.

Anita Koch was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but after she came to her senses, she quickly promised to buy a ticket for the next flight to New York right away.
