Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1710 On the Eve of Returning Home (Part 3)

Han Li then spent a few days cuddling with Guan Zhilin, and during that time he also took some time to spend a Sunday with Hao Hongmin.

Two more days passed, and Han Li left, citing some business matters that needed to be taken care of.

Of course, on the eve of parting, things that needed to be explored in depth still needed to be explored in depth, and things that needed to be done still needed to be done, and in a very intense way, which made it impossible for Guan Zhilin to get up and see Han Li off to the airport.

Han Li said he was leaving Hong Kong and of course going to the airport, but in reality he was just leaving the villa in Repulse Bay and returning to his home on the top floor of Jia Hui Garden. The intimacy after returning home was inevitable.

However, in the following days, Han Li spent his time at Hong Kong University completing his monthly teaching duties and guiding his two students.

Han Li devoted almost all his energy to this year's performance report and recommendations, determined to make up for all the time he had wasted by Guan Zhilin's side.

The year of Renxu, the month of Guichou, and the day of Guichou.

January 25, 1983 (Gregorian calendar), December 12 (Lunar calendar).

After working hard for several days, Han Li finally finished writing his annual report and recommendations.

Han Li took the documents in his hands and did a final check. After finding no problems, he took out paper and pen and carefully copied them down.

After rewriting everything, checking it again, and putting it into a file folder and storing it in the decomposition space, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While Han Li was rushing to finish his work, Chung Chu-hung was preparing gifts for him to take home.

In addition to some nutritional supplements for Han's parents, Chung Chu-hung also prepared some toys for her five children, as well as a lot of clothes.

These clothes were shared by everyone in the Han family, including Yun Yingying, whom Chung Chu-hung tacitly considered her lifelong nemesis.

However, Chung Chor-hung often heard her husband talk about the situation in mainland China, and she knew that many of the popular clothing styles in Hong Kong could not be worn there, otherwise she would be considered...

Moreover, since everyone in the Han family has their own job, there are many rules or taboos regarding the color of their clothes.

Therefore, Chung Chor-hung, along with her second sister, specially found some seemingly inconspicuous and very ordinary materials, which were actually very meaningful, and entrusted them to the company's best tailors to make them by hand.

Putting these trivial matters aside, after completing his report for this year, Han Li spent two consecutive days at Hong Kong University.

In the past two days, Han Li not only gave Luo Yuze and Xu Caihan a special tutoring session, but also reassigned them some coursework, as well as this year's research directions and categories.

During this period, Han Li also agreed to his students Luo Yuze and Xu Caihan's request to bring Zhong Chuhong, his teacher's wife, to a banquet hosted by their families before the New Year.

This dinner gathering between Han Li and his students' families is simply a natural occurrence, a necessary part of social etiquette.

The happiest of the two students was Luo Yuze, because his father was involved in a triad.

For a professor at Hong Kong University to agree to dine with someone who is inherently polluting is the greatest recognition and acceptance he can receive.

Xu Caihan was equally delighted. Her father is a middle school teacher, and influenced by her family, she is very knowledgeable about the situation in this industry.

Xu Caihan knew that although she had joined Professor Han's "tutoring course" and was receiving "core courses," she would also receive special care from the professor and the department office during her time at the university. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to obtain high credits, excellent grades, and positive comments from the professor and the university upon graduation, thus finding a good job.

This is enough for many people who are able to finish college and get their diplomas.

However, Xu Caihan was not satisfied with just obtaining a diploma from Hong Kong University. She wanted to pursue further studies and hoped to get recommendations from her professors and the department office to study at prestigious universities abroad.

Or, to put it another way, become a true student of the mentor, and under the mentor's guidance, gain access to the mentor's resources and connections, making your future path wider and easier.

In either case, this requires further guidance and support from the mentor to achieve.

Therefore, Xu Caihan still has a long way to go if she wants to achieve her wish.

Now that Professor Han has agreed to attend this family-style dinner, it's a better first step for her.

When Han Li told Chung Chu-hung about this, she was very happy.

Even though this banquet was only for the families of her husband's two students, and not the kind of meal she had been hoping for with her in-laws and her husband's friends in Beijing.

Even if it was such a banquet, it was a tacit acceptance of her status in Hong Kong by her man, a solid step to solidify her own position, so Cherie Chung made ample preparations for it.

The situation on the day Han Li took Zhong Chuhong to the banquet hosted by the two students was quite interesting. When they arrived at the restaurant, both sets of parents were already waiting there.

Luo Yuze's father was involved in a triad, and his attire today was very formal, complete with a suit, tie, and leather shoes, and his hair was neatly trimmed.

At first glance, he seemed no different from the white-collar workers in Hong Kong who sat in offices, but his true colors were immediately revealed when he started talking.

Luo Yuze's mother was an ordinary housewife, well-dressed, and you couldn't tell anything about her. However, her restrained, nervous, and cautious demeanor at the moment immediately revealed almost everything about her.

As mentioned earlier, Hsu Tsai-han's father is a middle school teacher and her mother is a primary school teacher.

These teachers' families may not dress as smartly as Luo Yuze's parents, but they are much better at dealing with people and things.

Han Li did not care about the situation of his two students' families, and treated them all equally. He did not act as if he were a professor who controlled their children's future.

Han Li was always calm and composed when chatting with anyone. He was not only approachable but also offered compliments when they spoke.

Han Li's actions made the atmosphere on site increasingly heated, and everyone spoke more and more casually.

However, there is a discordant situation: most Hong Kong people look down on those who are involved in triads, but they have no choice but to make a living under their influence.

It's also possible that Hsu Tsai-han's parents are both teachers, and many of the students they taught were recruited into clubs.

Some of those students were injured or disabled, some went to jail, and some even rode in a white car, avoiding decades of detours and reaching their destination directly, which made them even more disgusted with people involved in gangs.

When Xu Caihan's parents spoke to Luo Yuze's parents, their tone unconsciously carried a hint of contempt and sarcasm.

Everyone present was an adult. Even those with slow reaction times, who might not have reacted immediately, would eventually come to their senses afterward.
