Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Patent Application

"What’s the problem?" Lin Tian was startled by Professor Xue, that old man’s way of talking was startling, making one think that something major had happened.

"Of course it’s about the patent, this prescription must be patented; otherwise, if the formula leaks and someone else gets it, and they apply for the patent before you do, they could turn around and sue you for infringement, then you’d have nowhere to cry," Professor Xue said loudly.

Patent? Lin Tian was taken aback, he hadn’t thought about that aspect; the prescription was won from the Japanese, and he didn’t know if they had applied for a patent. If they had already applied, then he would indeed have been played by the Japanese.

Because in that case, he could only use it privately and couldn’t sell it as a product, otherwise, it would be considered infringement. If he were sued in an international court by the Japanese, that would be a very troublesome matter.

"Professor Xue, I’m not afraid to tell you about the origin of this prescription, it was won from the Japanese. If the Japanese have already applied for a patent, wouldn’t that mean we’ve been busy for nothing?" Lin Tian frowned and voiced his concern.

If the Japanese had not applied for a patent, Lin Tian would certainly apply without hesitation, and also without a trace of guilt or any emotional burden.

There was no need to be polite to the Japanese. The old revolutionary songs were well sung: ’Without guns, without cannons, the enemy will manufacture them for us.’ The brilliant revolutionary spirit should be passed down, Lin Tian thought.

"Hehe, Miss has told me about this, so I went and checked, and found that this prescription has not been patented," Professor Xue chuckled with confidence, "And you got one thing wrong, based on the prescription’s medication habits and pharmacology, it more closely resembles our Huaxia’s prescription. Moreover, several of the ingredients are unique to Huaxia; it’s unlikely that the Japanese would create a prescription with ingredients they don’t have, right?"

"So you’re saying the prescription was obtained by the Japanese from Huaxia by some means, and I did a good deed by returning the hard work of our Huaxia ancestors to its rightful place." Lin Tian chuckled with delight, laughing as he spoke.

"Exactly, young man, you have done a very good deed," Professor Xue said with a faint smile, "This time we’ll apply for the patent in your name, and then you’ll be the legitimate patent holder, and they’ll become the thieves."

Lin Tian didn’t care who the patent holder was, he would only give the prescription to Miss because he trusted her.

"All right, I am two hundred percent confident in Miss, feel free to deal with the prescription as you see fit," Lin Tian said magnanimously, actually wanting to be a hands-off manager, to make money by just sitting back, which was his ideal way to earn money.

Once I’m rich, I’ll buy up all of Sun Hai’s shares in the Xiao Group, and then take the opportunity to extort from him, making Sun Decai go from a rich second-generation to a debtor second-generation, and see how he struts his stuff then, and who will be worse than a dog, Lin Tian thought bitterly.

For someone like Sun Decai, a rich second-generation, being without money is worse than losing his life.

"Lin Tian, you want to be a hands-off manager and you put it so nobly, but you have a history with this; as the biggest shareholder and general manager of Tianxue Jewelry, you haven’t even inquired about the company’s affairs, and the date for the company’s opening hasn’t even been set!" Xiao Manxue, with her eyes like the Wisdom Eye, saw through Lin Tian’s little scheme at a glance, and bluntly poked through his excuse.

"Haha, really? Haven’t I recruited a talent for the company? Su Qingqing is truly a talent. As the saying goes, ’An army of thousands is easy to get, a general is hard to find.’ I recruited a capable general for you, as long as you train her properly, she will definitely become your strong right hand, you should be thanking me," Lin Tian laughed it off, trying to justify himself.

"Young man, using ’train’ is not appropriate, it would be better to say ’instruct’," Professor Xue interjected, correcting Lin Tian’s wrong choice of words, but Lin Tian directly ignored him.

"Humph, I hope what you’re saying is sincere, Miss Qingqing has been praising you nonstop in front of me, it seems like she’s quite close to you," Miss glanced at him and humphed.

"What kind of relationship? I have no idea. Uh, I’m hungry, how about we go grab something to eat?" Lin Tian dodged the topic, then started walking outwards.

"Why are you rushing? Without me, you wouldn’t be able to get out of here," Xiao Manxue said with a smug smile.

She nodded to Professor Xue and then slowly walked out. The matter was temporarily concluded, and the rest was up to the professionals; there was no use for her to stay.

"Lin Tian, this way; we’re not taking the same route back," Xiao Manxuan, that little girl, was really worried he might get lost, so she called out to him.

It was the little girl who was reliable. Sometimes Lin Tian wondered why the Miss always had to pick arguments with him; they were sisters after all, so why was there such a gap between them?

Just as Professor Xue had mentioned, there was indeed a passage that led straight to the first floor in the office area, and this time they just took the stairs. When they reached the ground floor of the building, they realized the sky was already completely dark, and night had long fallen.

"No wonder I’m hungry. It’s already dark. It feels like a day in the cave equals a thousand years in the outside world," Lin Tian felt like he hadn’t stayed long in the underground lab, but in reality, several hours had passed, and it was nearly eight o’clock.

"Let’s drive back for dinner; Sister Song is still at home." The Miss looked at the time and then turned to tell Secretary Xu, "Secretary Xu, you should go back too; you’ve had a hard day."

Being the secretary to a CEO was like this; there was no set time for starting or ending work, but Secretary Xu was probably used to it by now. She nodded to the Xiao sisters and Lin Tian and left first.

Lin Tian went to get the car and started driving home; the Miss followed, which meant there was no need to call for a driver.

When they arrived back at the Xiao Mansion, the only people in the villa’s living room were Song Yanan’s two apprentices watching TV.

"Cousin, where’s your master?" Xiao Manxuan asked. After a few days of interaction, the sisters had come to accept Li Xiaoxiao as their cousin, since the previous generation’s issues were none of her business.

"She just had dinner, then suddenly had a burst of inspiration and ran off to revise her drawings," Li Xiaoxiao replied softly, looking up.

Lin Tian had great admiration for these two beautiful apprentices. At just sixteen years of age, in the prime of their youth, they stayed at home for days without stepping out, patiently learning from Song Yanan. It was quite impressive.

Fortunately, the Xiao Family had maids responsible for meals; otherwise, with Song Yanan’s jade-obsessed way of life, they would probably have ended up living off boxes of instant noodles.

Tonight’s cook had also left food ready, and Lin Tian, who rarely dined at home, joined the Xiao sisters in polishing off the meals.

After dinner, everyone did their own thing. The women chatted, and Lin Tian couldn’t get a word in edgewise. He aimlessly wandered up the stairs, thinking that after days of busyness, the matter of the medicine formula was finally put to rest, and he could relax for a few days.

Just as he was thinking this, the Miss suddenly called out, "Lin Tian, check on the progress of the jewelry store tomorrow, and don’t run off anywhere."

With a "thud," Lin Tian’s foot slipped, and he nearly fell on the stairs, damn it. Could the Miss read his mind? It must have been intentional. He wanted to go out and flirt, to resolve his single status.

"Do you have a problem with that?" the Miss asked indifferently.
