Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1705 Continues the Challenge

Since the Gregorian calendar year has passed, according to the official calculation, it is now 83.

Although, according to Han Li's memory, this crackdown began at the end of August of that year, no one knew whether there were any signs of it coming true.

The reason Han Li started looking for ways to go abroad when he was in college was to avoid those two years, to avoid that burden of sin that could contain everything.

Han Li called Zhang Yaozu not only to maintain their relationship, but also to learn about the current internal situation from this internal cadre of the Zhengfa organization.

This would allow Han Li to obtain some clues that Zhang Yaozu himself might not have noticed, enabling him to take effective measures to the greatest extent possible to avoid detection.

Han Li didn't get any useful information from today's phone call. Instead, he listened to Zhao Yaozu recount a long story about his recent hardships at work.

First, the Bai Tian E Hotel in Guangzhou was recently completed. However, because this building became the highest point in the city after it was completed, it is now the highest point.

Due to certain special circumstances, some defensive measures need to be arranged and deployed on the roof of the Baitian'e Hotel.

This matter originally had nothing to do with the legal department where Zhang Yaozu worked, but his superiors instructed them to appease the investor, Mr. Huo, and ensure the safety of the White Goose Hotel.

However, not everyone in the law enforcement agencies of Guangzhou is qualified to be stationed and on guard at the Bai Tian E Hotel.

(It is said that this matter was instigated by some people with ulterior motives.)
Zhang Yaozu, a graduate of the Zhengfa Cadre School who could withstand scrutiny and testing, was an outstanding student in the eyes of his teachers. He was selected even before graduation because he had already participated in several special operations.

Secondly, on December 4, 82, the higher authorities formally passed and promulgated the fourth constitution, which is the 12 Constitution that has been in use for a long time.

People like Zhang Yaozu, who had just graduated from school and already knew the 1975 Constitution by heart, had to start learning the newly enacted 1982 Constitution again.

In other words, Zhang Yaozu now not only has to go to work as usual and be stationed at the Baitian'e Hotel, but he also has to study the new regulations in his spare time, forcing himself to forget the regulations he had memorized before.

In Zhang Yaozu's own words, he feels that his brain is seriously inadequate, and the two sets of regulations sometimes conflict in his mind.

As a good friend and buddy, Han Li naturally did his best to comfort and encourage Zhang Yaozu over the phone.

What people fear most is the lack of comparison, the lack of a control group. After Han Li hung up the phone, he thought about how Zhang Yaozu was currently suffering, stressed, and conflicted, but still had to study rigorously and seriously.

When Han Li looked again at the doctoral books on his desk, and at the comfortable surroundings and fragrant tea, he felt much more at ease. When he picked up the books again, they didn't seem so boring anymore.

Two more days passed. Tonight, Han Li told the Chung sisters that before going home for the Chinese New Year, he visited his former mentor in England to maintain their relationship.

The next day, before going to the garment company, Chung Chu-hung made a detour to Kai Tak Airport to buy Han Li a first-class ticket to London, England.

They even prepared gifts for Han Li's visit to his mentor in England; in short, they arranged everything perfectly.

Since the plane ticket is for tomorrow, there's no need to describe tonight's farewell "feast" in detail.

On the morning of the third day, Han Li boarded a plane to England, accompanied by the Chung sisters.

Han Li had two purposes for coming to England. First, of course, was his visit to his former supervisor, Professor Rand Swanson, two years ago. However, Han Li's purpose in visiting his supervisor was not just to maintain the relationship. His main goal was to learn from his former supervisor, Professor Rand Swanson, about the preferences and biases of his current supervisor, Professor Giovanni Morrick, regarding academic papers.

This way, Han Li can better address the issues in his subsequent papers, making them more appealing to his supervisor and earning him more credits.

Secondly, Han Li came to England to pick up Guan Zhilin and bring him back to Hong Kong for the Lunar New Year, which he had promised Guan Zhilin on the phone last time.

Han Li didn't experience any aerial thrills on the plane this time, because the flight attendant on this flight wasn't sexy.

Rather, it was because this flight didn't have those spacious, private first-class single rooms, and Han Li didn't like doing "that" in a cramped bathroom where it was difficult to even turn around. So this time, he ignored the suggestive remarks from the sexy and attentive flight attendants.

However, Han Li was not idle. After the plane took off, he closed his eyes and began to break down the "raw materials" he had purchased from Zhou Huimin's mother last time.

If you feel unwell, stop and go to sleep. After you open your eyes, wash up, drink water, and eat, continue the same process.

Due to flight schedules and time differences, Han Li landed at Renton Heathrow Airport at around 2 a.m. local time.

Although there were taxis waiting for passengers outside the airport at this time, Han Li did not want to take a taxi to Renton West District to book a room for the night in the middle of the night, and he did not want to take a taxi directly to Niu Jing to see Guan Zhilin.

So Han Li checked into a hotel next to the airport.

The first thing Han Li did after closing the door was to go through his boxing stance to loosen up all his muscles and bones. Then he took a shower and went to bed to rest.

The next morning at nine o'clock, after finishing his meal, Han Li first called Professor Rand Swanson, then changed into a bespoke suit, checked out of the hotel, and left.

Since there are no direct trains or buses to Niujing County, Han Li was too lazy to take a bus to London first and then transfer to Niujing County. So he chose to take a taxi directly from the door.

It has to be said that England's taxi fares are really outrageous.

Over seventy kilometers and forty miles, Han Li was charged more than one hundred and fifty pounds.

Niujing County remained the same as before, peaceful yet with a hint of boredom.

After arriving here, Han Li did not immediately go to find Guan Zhilin. Instead, he took out the gift he had brought for his mentor in a secluded corner and went directly to Professor Rand Swanson's office.

Professor Rand Swanson's office layout was the same as before, the only difference being the snowy owl that Han Li had given to his mentor.

Professor Rand Swanson has taken very good care of the snowy owl. Now it has glossy fur, is big and fat, and the little guy has even learned to act cute and cuddly.

Using its beak to help the professor carry his pen, and its claws to help the professor carry his hat and walking stick when he is about to leave, these are all routine operations of the snowy owl.

When the snowy owl was allowed to go outside, it would occasionally catch small animals such as rabbits and pheasants and give them to the professor as gifts.

Han Li listened as Professor Rand Swanson praised the snowy owl's various clevernesses and achievements, occasionally joining in with his own praise.
