I Became Rich Relying on Black Tech Patents

All-around genius Dai Li, holder of tens of thousands of invention patents, transmigrated into a novel. She became a scandal-ridden female celebrity in an entertainment circle story, burdened with ...

Chapter 69 Sixty-ninth Patent

Dai Li agreed to make a myopia treatment device for Sister Tu's nephew, and within two days she took the time to help Sister Tu make it.

Sister Tu got the things and then dragged her nephew over.

Her nephew's name is Tu Siyan, and this is his first time coming to where Sister Tu works.

He came reluctantly, his movements were slow, and his furrowed brows could kill a fly.

Sister Tu was furious when she saw him: "Is asking you to come out here going to cost you your life?"

Tu Siyan glanced at her and said, "Aunt, just don't mention what happened last time."

Sister Tu: "Why can't I bring it up? Doesn't what I said make sense? That professor is just taking advantage of you. Did you do all the work? How much did he do? He showed up again when the cake was divided equally."

Tu Siyan disagreed, retorting, "You don't understand the situation. Professor Wang made it clear to me before we left that he couldn't stay in the Amazon rainforest the entire time, so he needed me as his assistant to help him record the data."

Sister Tu: "He doesn't just have you as his assistant. Why does he always leave you in the Amazon and bring his own students with him?"

Tu Siyan: "That's because I kept more detailed records. Professor Wang said he felt more at ease leaving me in the Amazon."

Sister Tu made him so angry that he was speechless. She kept poking him with her fingers out of frustration.

"You, even though you were bought, you still helped them count the money."

Tu Siyan: "Aunt, you think too badly of me. We're too busy doing research to be scheming. Besides, with Professor Wang's qualifications, there's no need for him to covet even a little bit of my research. He'll be elected an academician in no time."

Sister Tu glanced at him sideways and said, "It's not that I think too badly of people, it's that you are too careless."

Tu Siyan: "Professor Wang is a very kind person. You'll know it once you meet him."

Sister Tu folded her arms and turned her back, ignoring him.

Tu Siyan pulled her clothes, but Sister Tu pulled her hand away, making it clear that she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

He sighed helplessly and patiently explained, "What I said is true. Professor Wang feels very guilty about this matter and has apologized to me several times. He actually wanted me to give the keynote speech, but my situation is special and it's really not suitable for me to give the keynote speech."

When Dai Li came out, she saw Sister Tu still in a bad mood.

However, when Sister Tu saw her, her expression changed 360 degrees in an instant.

After glancing at Tu Siyan, he walked to Dai Li's side.

It was also the first time that Dai Li met Sister Tu's nephew. He was tall and thin, with an elegant and handsome appearance. He had just returned from the Amazon rainforest. His complexion was not fair, but a normal dark wheat color.

The most eye-catching thing on his face was of course his glasses, which were as big as the bottom of a beer bottle and made his eyes look a whole lot smaller.

He looks a bit dull and not smart enough.

Tu Siyan is not an extroverted person, and smiled shyly at Dai Li.

"You heard what we were talking about just now, right?" Sister Tu asked Dai Li in a low voice.

Dai Li nodded.

They talked without avoiding others. Dai Li was in the workshop inside, separated by a glass door, so it was impossible for her not to hear.

Sister Tu shook her head tiredly: "I've never had an easy time communicating with him in my life."

Tu Siyan: "That's why I told you, Auntie, don't worry about me. You should enjoy your life. I'm an adult now, and I will protect my rights."

Sister Tu: "You gave away the results of your two years of research. Is that what you call protecting your own rights?"

Tu Siyan explained again: "It's not about handing it over to someone else. Professor Wang and I discussed it and decided to give the opportunity of giving the lecture to Brother Liu."

Sister Tu is too concerned and gets angry when she encounters Tu Siyan's problems.

It looked like they were about to quarrel again.

Dai Li: "Just now I heard you say that you also feel that your condition is not suitable for being the keynote speaker?"

Tu Siyan nodded. "The slides need to be projected onto a screen. With my eyesight, I may not be able to see everything clearly. If there's a discrepancy between the processes and I don't notice it immediately, it will cause a serious mistake and make people think our team is unprofessional."

Sister Tu: "Will you make mistakes? You wrote the paper yourself and made the slides yourself, so you won't be able to match the process?"

Tu Siyan hesitated for a moment, obviously he was confident that the process would not go wrong.

But after a moment, he said rationally, "It's normal for Professor Wang to have such concerns. When we do our work, we can't just think about ourselves. We also have to consider the team and the collective interests of the team. No research achievement is the result of one person alone."

Sister Tu sneered, "You must have learned this from Professor Wang. I've never heard such profound teachings from you before."

Tu Siyan: "No matter who said it, if it makes sense, shouldn't we choose the good and follow it?"

Sister Tu was speechless. She even felt that Professor Wang was quite something. He kept talking about profound truths and she couldn't refute them. No wonder Tu Siyan was successfully brainwashed.

Dai Li: "You are right. Research results should take into account the interests of the entire team. We can't just focus on our own attention and waste the hard work of everyone in the team."

Seeing that someone agreed with his point of view, Tu Siyan nodded excitedly.

Dai Li changed the subject: "But we can't let only one person in the team suffer."

Tu Siyan blinked blankly.

Dai Li: "You don't deny that you have made the greatest contribution to the project."

Tu Siyan pursed her lips, hesitating on how to answer.

Sister Tu rushed to answer for him, saying, "He does the most work, so how can he not be a great contributor?"

Tu Siyan did not deny this.

Dai Li: "You also won't deny that you made the biggest sacrifice when the results were inspected."

Tu Siyan also agreed.

It was easy to tell what he really thought. He still wanted to go on stage and give the speech himself, but considering the honor of the team, he suppressed his thoughts and chose to stand behind the scenes.

Dai Li: "But I know that your Professor Wang certainly doesn't want to sacrifice such an outstanding student like you. He must still prefer you to be his favorite lecturer."

Tu Siyan nodded vigorously, "Professor Wang told me with great regret that he had strongly recommended me to be the main speaker, but as the person leading the project, he couldn't let his own selfish interests harm the collective interests of the team."

"That's right," Dai Li nodded in agreement. "Then you should not let Professor Wang down. Work hard to restore your eyesight and strive to be able to give the lecture yourself."

Tu Siyan's face was full of confusion.

Dai Li: "Didn't your aunt tell you why she came to see you today?"

Tu Siyan shook his head in confusion.

Sister Tu rubbed her temples and said speechlessly, "I was so angry about him that I forgot to talk about the important things."

Dai Li: "Simply put, I called you here to solve your severe myopia."

As he was speaking, the robot assistant moved to Dai Li's side, holding the vision correction device.

Dai Li picked up the vision correction device and handed it to Tu Siyan.

"The thing in your hand is called an orthoptist. It helps you correct your vision."

This vision correction device looks very similar to a smart steam eye mask. Tu Siyan doesn’t quite understand how it relates to vision correction.

He asked blankly, "How do I correct it?"

Sister Tu: "You idiot, after you put it on, your eyesight will return to normal 5.2 in no time."

From Tu Siyan's cold reaction, it can be seen that he did not believe the claim of restoring his vision to 5.2 at all.

Sister Tu: "Why, you still don't believe what we say?"

Tu Siyan immediately shook his head: "No, I appreciate your kindness, but my eye condition is quite special and I can't even undergo corrective surgery. Your vision correction device probably won't be of any use to me."

Sister Tu: "Didn't I tell you about our Dai Dai's abilities?"

Tu Siyan dared not disobey and nodded. Whenever his aunt called him, she would always mention her boss, saying how great his boss was and what amazing things he had invented.

Before, he was far away and had no chance to see Dai Li's invention with his own eyes. His understanding of her abilities only existed in his aunt's mouth, which was very abstract and vague. The vision correction device in front of him was the first real object he had ever gotten.

Sister Tu: "Let me tell you, with our Dai Dai's abilities, no matter how special your situation is, it won't be a problem for her. As long as she says she can correct your strength, she will definitely be able to restore your vision to 5.2."

Tu Siyan was skeptical, but didn't say anything.

His doubtful expression annoyed Sister Tu, who wanted to say something else.

Dai Li held Sister Tu's shoulders and slowly said to Tu Siyan, "Take the vision correction device home and try it on to see if it works. Wear it every night as an eye mask, and it won't affect your daily life. Even if it has some effect and can improve your eyesight a little, isn't that a good thing? As long as your eyesight doesn't affect your PPT and you can see the manuscript clearly, that's enough. Besides, your Professor Wang is most hoping that you can give a keynote speech."

When Professor Wang was mentioned, Tu Siyan's expression changed instantly, and his opinion on the vision correction device also changed.

"I understand. I will work hard to improve my eyesight."

Dai Li: "You must remember to wear it every night. Only by wearing it at night can your vision be restored during the day. If you forget to wear it one day, your naked eye vision the next day will not be at its best. As long as you wear it for a long enough time for treatment, your vision will be completely restored and you will no longer need a vision correction device."

Tu Siyan listened carefully and nodded as he listened.

Dai Li: "Give your Professor Wang a surprise when the time comes. Don't let your Professor Wang down."

Tu Siyan went back happily holding the vision correction device.

Seeing his back as he left happily, Sister Tu rolled her eyes.

Then she asked Dai Li in confusion, "Why are you still flattering Professor Wang?"

"Didn't you see that your nephew respected Professor Wang?" Dai Li glanced at her indifferently.

Sister Tu said sourly, "It's more than just respect. I think in his heart, Professor Wang is more important than me."

Dai Li couldn't help laughing and said, "If you keep belittling the people he respects, he will definitely feel resentful."

Sister Tu curled her lips and did not deny that she had been saying bad things about Professor Wang.

"But I'm telling the truth. He's just been blinded by greed and brainwashed by Professor Wang. Even pouring cold water on him won't wake him up."

Dai Li: "As someone in authority, he's certainly not as clear-headed as you, an outsider. Some people are sanctimonious and are the best at disguising themselves. They've worn their masks for decades, becoming one with themselves. They create a perfectly good image for those around them. If you, an outsider, want to overturn the fortress they've spent years building, you'd be lucky if his followers don't cause you trouble."

Sister Tu: "Then I can't just say nothing. I can't be a mute."

Dai Li: "Your nephew has to peel off Professor Wang's mask himself. He probably won't believe anyone else except himself."

"This is such a hassle!" Sister Tu yelled frantically, "From childhood to adulthood, I've never felt at ease."

Sister Tu is only 14 years older than Tu Siyan, but getting along with each other is not easy at all. The 14-year age gap makes them have great differences in concepts, and they often quarrel because of their different ideas.

The 14-year age gap makes Sister Tu feel extremely painful. She really can't imagine how many times she would be mad to death every day if she gave birth to a child herself.

"That's why I don't want to get married and have children. Otherwise, my pain will at least double."

Tu Siyan didn't realize that he had made his aunt so angry that she was afraid of getting married and having children. At this moment, he was happily rushing to school.

Just like his aunt's boss said, it doesn't matter how much his eyesight can be improved. As long as it is of some use and can slightly reduce his eyesight, then he will have the opportunity to give a speech.

After returning to school, he went to Professor Wang's office first.

It was Professor Wang who asked him to go. It was about the paper he wrote, and Professor Wang wanted to talk to him about some questions.

Hearing him knock on the door, Professor Wang took off his glasses, smiled and waved him in.

There was not only Professor Wang in the office, but also Senior Brother Liu.

Tu Siyan also greeted Senior Brother Liu politely, and Senior Brother Liu also gently called him Junior Brother.

Professor Wang: "Why are you so happy about going out?"

Tu Siyan: "Nothing else, it's my aunt who asked me to go out."

Professor Wang had also heard about his family situation. He knew that his mother died in a car accident when he was 7 years old and that he was raised by his aunt.

Professor Wang: "I'm not in a hurry here. It's a rare opportunity for you to come back, why don't you spend some time with your aunt?"

"Forget it, there's nothing big about her talking to me. She was just talking about those things..." Tu Siyan's voice stopped abruptly. He had never relayed Sister Tu's words in front of Professor Wang. He was defending Sister Tu and also wanted to avoid embarrassing Professor Wang.

Professor Wang automatically understood Tu Siyan's subsequent words as meaning that he disliked his aunt's nagging.

He chuckled and said, "All elders are like this. They may nag a bit, but it's all for your own good."

"She put a lot of thought into me and even got me some eye-correcting equipment."

Senior Brother Liu asked doubtfully, "An eye correction device?"

Tu Siyan was not wary of Professor Wang and Senior Brother Liu, and simply shared the corrected vision with them as a happy event.

"Isn't it convenient for me to give a speech on stage because of my eyesight problem? I have to trouble Senior Brother Liu to help me, and I have delayed Senior Brother Liu's own work."

Senior Brother Liu smiled and waved his hand: "What delay? It's just a piece of cake. Don't delay me."

"So my aunt and others gave me this." Tu Siyan said as he took out the vision correction device.

"What is this used for?" asked Professor Wang.

Senior Brother Liu: "Eyepatch?"

Tu Siyan: "It seems to be called a vision correction device. My aunt's boss said it can correct my vision and help me restore my vision to 5.2."

Senior Brother Liu was shocked: "Restored to 5.2 vision?"

"It's definitely not that exaggerated," Tu Siyan smiled and shook his head, "Maybe it will improve my eyesight a little bit. I thought if it can be improved a little bit, it would be fine. That way it won't affect me going on stage, and I won't have to trouble Senior Brother Liu and delay his other projects."

Senior Brother Liu was shocked and turned pale. He instinctively raised his voice and asked, "You want to go on stage and speak yourself?"

Tu Siyan was confused and didn't know why Senior Brother Liu reacted like this.

"Didn't you say before that it was my eyesight that made it easier for Senior Brother Liu to take the stage? If my eyesight improves, shouldn't I be the speaker?"

Tu Siyan looked at Professor Wang in confusion for help.

Professor Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Now that your eyesight has improved, it's natural for you to be the main speaker. You're the most familiar with the research data and samples, and I'd be most confident if you were to give the presentation yourself."

Hearing Professor Wang's promise, Tu Siyan's heart settled down and he smiled with ease.

He said, how could Professor Wang steal his achievements and take advantage of him? Professor Wang has always been fair and selfless. It was my aunt who thought too badly of him.

Professor Wang patted Senior Brother Liu on the shoulder and explained to Tu Siyan, "Your Senior Brother Liu didn't really want to go on stage. I had to work on his thinking for a long time before he agreed. He would be more relaxed if you were the main speaker."

Senior Brother Liu gave an embarrassed smile: "Yes, if you tell me in person, I will save myself the trouble."

Tu Siyan was encouraged: "Then I will wear the vision correction device properly when I go back, and try to correct my eyesight as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble to the professor and my senior brothers."

Tu Siyan passionately analyzed the data in Professor Wang's office, answered the questions of Professor Wang and Senior Brother Liu, and then excitedly returned to his dormitory with his vision correction device.

After watching Tu Siyan leave, Senior Brother Liu looked away worriedly.

"Professor, if Tu Siyan really recovers his sight, what should I do?"

Professor Wang picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea calmly, and then spat out the tea leaves in his mouth.

"Calm down. It's not easy to recover the vision of someone with severe myopia unless they undergo corrective surgery. But his eyes aren't suitable for corrective surgery, and even if they could, it would be too late to recover."

Senior Brother Liu was still worried: "No, Professor, I'm worried about his orthotic device. What if it really corrects his vision?"

Professor Wang said nonchalantly, "How could there be an eye correction device in the world? If it could really correct vision, how could glasses still sell?"

Brother Liu: "I'm worried that his eyesight will improve, and then it will be difficult to prevent him from giving lectures."

Professor Wang did not have those worries. Not to mention that Tu Siyan’s vision correction device was useless, even if it could improve Tu Siyan’s vision, he had a way to treat him.

Tu Siyan is just a small loach, and he wants to run into the sea and wrestle with the Dragon King?

Professor Wang: "Xiao Liu, go back and prepare well. This is your chance and no one can take it away from you."

He said that he would never give the opportunity to give the speaker back to Tu Siyan no matter what. This opportunity could only belong to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu's father is also engaged in academic research and has been named an academician.

In order to avoid suspicion, Professor Liu asked his son to follow Professor Wang to study the topic, and Professor Wang was responsible for gilding Senior Brother Liu.

In exchange, Professor Liu will recommend Professor Wang in the next academician selection.

Because candidates are selected through a recommendation system, if Professor Wang wants to be elected as an academician, he must find an academician to recommend him.

Both parties get what they want, and Professor Wang must protect the greatest interests of Brother Liu.

Tu Siyan was completely unaware of the private agreement between Professor Wang and Professor Liu.

At this time, he went to the cafeteria to get some food and also brought one for his roommate.

He shared a two-bedroom apartment with someone else. His roommate also traveled a lot. He recently went to Hoh Xil to do research and got even darker than him.

"Didn't you go to see your aunt? Why are you back to school?" asked the roommate. When he saw the food in the cafeteria, he knew that Tu Siyan had been to school.

Tu Siyan sat down at the dining table: "Professor Wang is looking for me."

His roommate looked at him hesitantly, "I'm looking for someone to do your job."

Tu Siyan broke off his chopsticks and pushed up his glasses: "There are a few sets of data that they are not very clear about. Let me explain them to them."

This time, he couldn't help himself. "I'm not saying anything, but do you really think it's a good idea to let others talk about your research? With so many experts and scholars in the audience, will they remember Liu Taoce or you, the unknown hero Tu Siyan?"

In the past, Tu Siyan always spoke up for Professor Wang without hesitation. Today, with Professor Wang's promise, Tu Siyan felt more confident.

After listening to Tu Siyan's explanation, his roommate raised an eyebrow in interest: "Did he really say that?"

Tu Siyan: "Of course, Professor Wang said it himself. He also said that he would feel more at ease with me as the lecturer."

Hearing this, the roommate smiled and nodded, muttering to himself, "Interesting."

He devoured his meal in no time, then urged Tu Siyan to eat a little more.

"After you finish eating, go put on that vision correction device and quickly restore your eyesight."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not dark now. I still want to read for a while after dinner."

"Of course I'm anxious. I'm anxious to see the performance of your Professor Wang and Liu Taoce, to see if they are really willing to give up or just pretending."

As for my roommate's belief in the vision correction device, it's definitely not that high.

However, based on his understanding, this type of instrument would be more or less helpful in vision correction. As long as Tu Siyan felt any change in his vision, he would definitely report the good news to Professor Wang.

This is good news for Tu Siyan, but not necessarily for Professor Wang.

People's first reactions are hard to deceive. After a long time, Tu Siyan will sooner or later realize that something is wrong.

After dinner, Tu Siyan was kicked into the room by his roommate.

He originally wanted to read for a while, but he was always thinking about the vision corrector. When he was reading, his eyes kept glancing towards the vision corrector. He was so curious about the correction effect.

Just after nine o'clock, Tu Siyan decided to go to bed. This was the earliest time he had ever gone to bed on his own initiative.

Following Dai Li's instructions, he wore the vision corrector on his head as an eye mask.

Not long after, he felt the vision correction device getting hot, accompanied by a weak electric current, which felt quite comfortable on his eyelids.

He felt the current and before he knew it he was asleep, not noticing that he fell asleep much faster than usual.

The next day he was woken up by a dry throat, and he went to the water dispenser in a daze to get some water.

He took the cup to get some water, and when it was full, he habitually raised his hand to push up his glasses.

But it hit nothing.

He woke up instantly from his sleepiness and opened his eyes wide to look at the surrounding environment.

Everything that appeared before his eyes was so clear: the English letters on the cup, the strands of hair on the floor, the calendar on the shoe cabinet at the door, the cartoons playing on the TV in the building opposite...

There was nothing he couldn't see clearly wherever he looked.

Tu Siyan hadn't felt such a clear world for a long time. Without the need for lenses, things were no longer shrunk or distorted. Everything was more real and within reach.

He couldn't suppress his excitement and joy.

He wanted to share the good news with his closest roommate right away.

He also wanted to call his aunt immediately to report the matter.

I also wanted to go to Professor Wang’s office immediately to tell him the good news that I had recovered my eyesight.

Professor Wang and Senior Brother Liu will definitely be happy for me!
