Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1692 An Unpayable Loan

After hearing the busy tone on the phone, Anita Koch immediately went to consult her supervisor. On the way to Kai Tak Airport with her secretary, she still felt like she was dreaming.

As a beautiful American, Anita Koch certainly knew about the "Madame Attoka," as this shipwreck is one of the most widely known treasures in many European and American countries.

When Anita Koch was young, she also fantasized that one day she would find the treasure of the "Lady Attoka" and reach the pinnacle of her life.

However, dreams ultimately couldn't withstand the pressure of survival, because Anita Koch took out loans to attend university, and for an ordinary person, that money was like a mountain weighing on their shoulders.

Therefore, after graduating and joining the law firm "High T Brothers," Anita Koch chose Hong Kong, a place few people were willing to come to, in order to pay off the loan more quickly, all for the extra supplement in her daily salary.

It's worth noting that Anita Koch earns a very good salary as a lawyer; she's considered one of the highest-paid lawyers her age.

Even so, Anita Koch graduated from university at the age of twenty-three and is now thirty-two.
For nearly a decade, Anita Koch worked herself to the bone, doing anything for commissions, and lived a frugal life. She has only paid off half of her student loan.

(A more accurate source: Barack Hussein Obama, the African-American president of the United States)

After graduating, this president worked as a lawyer and then as a university lecturer, both of which are high-paying jobs in the United States. Even so, it took him 21 years to pay off his student loans.

This demonstrates how exploitative student loans are in the United States, which is one reason why many graduates, once they cannot find suitable employment, quickly find themselves reduced to relying on handouts and sleeping on the streets.
Getting back to the point, what Anita Koch didn't expect was that her biggest benefactor was actually able to salvage the "Lady Attoca" treasure.

Regardless of the amount of money involved, the most important thing is that the client handed over all the contracts and details of this transaction to him.

Anita Koch knew how much commission she would get in this deal, but that wasn't the most important thing. What mattered was that she was involved in the transaction.

Because of the widespread fame of the "Lady Attoka", Anita Koch will also gain great fame and prestige in the industry this time.

For a lawyer, fame and reputation are things that money can't buy.

If Anita Koch can successfully facilitate this deal, her contract with High T Brothers will be upgraded.

Moreover, this experience serves as a high-quality stepping stone for Anita Koch, whether she later moves to another law firm or decides to pursue a political career.

Han Li chose Anita Koch as his lawyer simply to save trouble, and she worked even harder and more diligently to persuade the Hong Kong government to buy land after returning to Hong Kong, completely unaware of how excited she was about this matter.

After Han Li hung up the phone with Anita Koch, he and Maeve Lawson went on their first proper shopping and entertainment trip in New York's upscale malls and boutiques.

Maeve Lawson was the main shopper on this shopping spree. Besides buying essential appliances and daily necessities for her apartment,
She also has the same problem as other girls: she buys a lot of small accessories that Han Li thinks are completely unnecessary and that she will probably throw away soon.

However, Han Li was not short of money, and he would not live in that apartment often, so he tolerated Maeve Lawson's little hobby.

Of course, while Han Li was accompanying Maeve Lawson shopping and sightseeing, he took the opportunity to do some things that he wanted to do, and that he had to do.

That is, whenever Han Li was shopping and passed by the bank, he would find an excuse to let Maeve Lawson go and pick out items first.

Han Li went to the bank alone and deposited some of the "charity" he had won in Las Vegas into several of his company accounts registered in the Kaman Islands. After two days of continuous operations, Han Li finally converted the more than 270 million Pyramid dollars he won in Las Vegas into numbers in the company accounts.

Hammer, an ordinary company, deposited the least amount, while Agatsuma Co., Ltd. deposited the most.

As for the most important Hua·Shi Investment Company, it only received a moderate treatment this time because the funds from the sale of the treasure of the "Lady Atorca" would be deposited in a few days.

In addition, Han Li knew that some states in the United States had a very peculiar rule.

That is, if someone illegally occupies a property that they don't need for the time being, they can obtain ownership of the property through legal procedures after five years.

Han Li didn't want foreigners to take advantage of him, and even if he secretly killed them afterward, he wouldn't be able to get rid of the unease in his heart.

Although the apartment Han Li bought was very high-end, making it difficult for homeless people to sneak in, he still took precautions to deal with such situations.

That was when Han Li accompanied Maeve Lawson shopping these past two days.

He contacted a reputable housekeeping company and paid 20 Pretty Coins per cleaning to send someone to clean his small apartment every month.

In this way, Han Li spent a little money to fundamentally prevent the situation from being usurped by foreigners.

As for the large apartment, Maeve Lawson can't move in yet, but she goes there every week to clean it, so Han Li doesn't need to worry about that.

Not long after Han Li returned to the Peninsula Hotel with Maeve Lawson, Anita Koch called.

“Dear Han, I finally got through to you after making more than twenty phone calls.”

Han Li: "I just got back from shopping. You've arrived in New York?"

Anita Koch: "I landed at noon today and have been calling you all afternoon. It's only because we have a good relationship that I think we've been scammed. If it were someone else, they would probably think they'd been cheated after failing to reach their employer multiple times."

Han Li: "Hehe, let's not talk about that anymore. I'm at the Peninsula Hotel, room S368 on the 28th floor. Come over once you feel the jet lag is over."

Anita Koch: "Jet difference? It's nothing compared to the treasure that is the 'Lady Attoka'. I'm coming right away, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

After giving a few casual replies and hanging up the phone, Han Li spoke to Maeve Lawson, whose legs were sore from shopping and who was slumped on the sofa.

"I'm having dinner with friends tonight. Call me and I'll have the waiter bring you whatever you'd like to eat."

Maeve Lawson: "Han, can I go?"
