Chapter 1728 Trivial Matters Before the New Year (Part 1)

With a thought, Han Li, following the previous ratio, remotely fed one-fifth of the Strength Pill to Elder Liu, Elder Li, Elder Guan, Elder Song, Elder Hou, and Elder Zhang before joining their conversation.

As for Director Su, this national champion, although he helped Han Li discover a hidden health problem, the relationship between the two was not close.

Moreover, Director Su is a national expert; he is extremely clear about his physical condition and the taste of various medicinal herbs.

To put it bluntly, even if Director Su didn't notice it at first, she could still sense the change when the other person burped or took a dump. So Han Li wouldn't dare to give the other person a super-powerful pill from a distance, even if it was just a little bit.

Not long after Han Li joined the chat group, the elders' doctor came over to urge him to take a nap.

At this point, not only Han Li, but even Director Su couldn't say anything. It was just that too many things had happened today, making everyone forget about time.

Next, Han Li, Yun Jingjing, and Director Su said their goodbyes and left. However, Director Su returned home in a guard's car.

Han Li and Yun Jingjing rode their bicycles back as usual, but their bicycles were loaded with more things than when they came.

After Han Li and the others left Gong Jianglong's sight, Yun Jingjing couldn't help but ask about the malnutrition.

Han Li gave the same answer, and promised that he would pay attention to meal times and focus on eating his fill in the future, no longer caring about saving face, etc.

Finally, Han Li also told Yun Jingjing not to mention this to anyone else after she went back, mainly to prevent her family from continuing to worry.

Yun Jingjing had been worried ever since Han Li started sparring with someone. There were many things she couldn't ask or say at Liu's house, and she was feeling quite upset at the time. She didn't take Han Li's last words seriously, even though she would have told Han's mother when she got back.

After Han Li finished instructing Yun Jingjing, he began to think about whose house it would be tomorrow, and to ponder the prescription that Director Su had given him. He did not notice Yun Jingjing's current state.

This led to the scene where Han Li was surrounded and scolded by his father, mother, wives, and sisters when he returned home.

Han Li then said many kind words and made many promises, which finally convinced his family to let him off the hook for the time being.

However, after dinner that evening, Han's mother, Qi Xiaomei, and the others stewed all the meat they had at home, as well as the meat that Elder Zhu had brought that day.
They used the biggest iron pot in the house to stew a whole pot of mixed meat. Han's mother watched her son eat a big bowl before she, Han's father, and the Han sisters took their three sons back to Mianhua Hutong.

What is a mixed stew?

This pot contains everything: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, and venison—all stewed together in one pot.

Everyone's intention was simply to get Han Li to eat more meat to nourish his body; the taste wasn't important.

However, Qi Xiaomei has learned quite well in the past two years; the stew made with so many kinds of meat tastes pretty good.

After his parents left, Han Li, disregarding the bruises and welts on his body, took revenge on Yun Jingjing for breaking her promise.

The next day, after breakfast, Han Li planned to visit Professor Zhang and Principal Wen at Peking University, as per his plan from the previous night.

Since Han Li returned, Wang Chunhua, who hadn't had a chance to entertain him, said she was going to sweep the snow off the houses in Tiger Cave Alley.

So the two of them went out together. Han Li dropped Wang Chunhua off at the entrance of her home in Tiger Cave, telling her to go back and heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) while he headed to Yanda University. In a secluded corner, Han Li took out some champagne and wine that Professor Zhang liked, along with some foreign books and tapes, from his spatial storage and packed them into a travel bag in the back seat before arriving at the entrance of Yanda University.

Although Yanda University has already started its annual holiday, there are still many students on campus who are not going home for the New Year, although the number is much smaller than when Han Li and his group were there.

The security guards were the same people. Han Li handed each of them a box of 555 cigarettes, which are hard to find on the market, at the entrance. After chatting for a bit, they went inside.

In just a few years, the era of Han Li and his peers has passed.
Now that only students from Yenching University remain, none of whom know Han Li, he no longer needs to walk along the deserted paths on campus as usual.

Professor Zhang remains as elegant and composed as ever, but Yenching University has assigned her a nanny this year to take care of her daily life.

Professor Zhang was very happy to see his student arrive. He asked the nanny to cut a plate of sausage and ham that other students had brought, and invited Han Li to sit down and have a couple of glasses of wine. They talked about many things, including some changes at Yenching University this year.

Professor Zhang** said that although President Wen is still a member of the Standing Committee of Yenching University, Vice President, and Director of the Department of Foreign Languages, many people are saying that he wants to strive for the position of Executive Vice President.

If Han Li were simply working at Yanda University, he would be forced to take sides in the matter of Principal Wen's bid for the position of Executive Vice Principal, whether he wanted to or not.

Whether Han Li is willing to admit it or not, in the eyes of others, Principal Wen is his mentor and his benefactor. If he didn't help, his reputation in the circle would be ruined.

However, Han Li's main task right now is to take good care of his position as an associate professor at Hong Kong University, so he can just listen to what Principal Wen has to say about this.

Han Li stayed with Professor Zhang for more than an hour before leaving. Next, he went to Principal Wen's home in the north of Yanda University.

The gifts Han Li prepared for Principal Wen included foreign liquor, decent food, southern fruits, and several Parker pens made in the United States.

Although Han Li was not very willing, Principal Wen still dragged him to their house for lunch.

During the meeting, they discussed many topics. Principal Wen talked most about academic exchanges between the two regions and the two universities, as well as issues related to exchange students.

Han Li spoke frankly about this. He first talked about his situation at Hong Kong University this year, and then focused on the reactions of Hong Kong people and the faculty and students of Hong Kong University after the initial talks between China and Britain on September 24.

When President Wen heard that 90 percent of the students at Hong Kong University shared that attitude, his hopes of making the matter happen diminished considerably.

However, it is impossible for Principal Wen, who is someone who wants to improve, to completely give up on this matter.

If the exchange program and the exchange student program are successfully implemented, it will be a greater achievement than doing a hundred things here. His becoming the executive vice principal will then be practically a done deal.

When Principal Wen then discussed this topic, he changed his approach.

Han Li agreed very readily. As long as it doesn't involve exchange students between the two schools, the other type of exchange student is really no problem for him.

These kinds of international students don't have much academic merit, and many schools don't recognize this kind of exchange program, but it's a qualification that many people want because...
For Han Li, it was simply a matter of spending more money and worrying more.

Money is not a problem for Han Li at the moment; Chung Chu-hung and his students are responsible for taking care of that.
While Han Li was having dinner and drinks at Principal Wen's place, Wang Chunhua was already prepared and ready to strike his favorite starting pose.
