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 92 The 92nd Patent

"You have no impression of me?"

Ye Zheng’s anger was easy to understand. As her former imaginary enemy, she had always been keeping a close eye on Dai Li.

Dai Li was obviously not as famous as her, but she could never forget Dai Li.

Whether Dai Li pretended not to remember her or really did not remember her, it was a humiliation for her.

Ye Zheng's face looked really strange to Dai Li.

The original owner never took Ye Zheng seriously, and she had never met Ye Zheng, so she had no impression of Ye Zheng in her mind at all.

She had only heard Ye Zheng's name once or twice, and Sister Tu and Han Youyou mentioned it casually. They were all insignificant gossips that had nothing to do with her, so she didn't take them to heart.

Dai Li didn't know why Ye Zheng was so obsessed with whether he remembered her or not. Such obsession was completely meaningless.

"I've heard your name, what can I do for you?"

Her bland response made Ye Zheng, who had just cheered up, feel deflated.

Now she couldn't continue to blame Dai Li for not remembering her, as it would be a loss of her identity.

After all, she is now a well-known actress and has found a rich husband. In any case, she is better than Dai Li, who disappeared and it is unknown whether she is living a good or bad life now.

Ye Zheng calmed down her emotions, which were about to get out of control, and said calmly, "Nothing, I saw someone I know and wanted to say hello."

Her fiancé also said at this time: "It's rare to meet someone you know when you go to view a house. Why don't we all look at it together?"

He portrayed himself as someone who came to buy a house. Since they all knew each other, it was reasonable for them to look at houses together, and then he took the opportunity to get closer to them.

The benefits include, at the very least, being able to rent a manor, and at the most, being able to expand one's network.

The man in front of me was of medium build and about forty years old.

Even wearing a high-end custom-made suit and an expensive watch, he still doesn't stand out in the crowd.

Sister Tu discovered that this man was not Mr. Gong, the real estate boss who bought Huiyao Media at a high price for Ye Zheng two years ago.

I don’t know how Ye Zheng broke up with that real estate boss, but the one she found now is obviously not as good as the previous Mr. Gong.

"We might as well exchange ideas. Buying a house is such a big deal, we should look around and ask more questions." Ye Zheng's fiancé was determined to go house hunting with them.

Before Dai Li could express her opinion, the real estate agent who brought them here refused first.

"It's not appropriate for you two to come with us. You are under the care of my colleagues. It's not convenient for me to show you around."

The act of grabbing orders in the industry is very likely to cause disputes, and the company has clear regulations that prohibit grabbing orders and customers.

Company regulations were one thing, and he himself didn't want to receive the couple.

They embarrass their colleagues outside the main building, disrespect the owner's rules, and pick flowers from the estate at will. They are the most disliked customers of all the real estate agents.

In order to prevent his guests from running into the couple, he took great pains and tried hard to guide his guests in the opposite direction.

No matter how much he planned, who could have imagined that the couple knew his guests.

Ye Zheng's fiancé said in a veteran tone, "I know your rules. You can't steal clients, right? Don't worry about that. If I want to sign a contract, it will definitely be through our own agent."

The real estate agent forced a smile, hoping his client would reject them.

He got what he wanted. As expected, Dai Li refused Ye Zheng's fiancé's request to go with him.

"No need, we've already looked at most of the houses and don't have any opinions to discuss."

"We don't know each other well, and our relationship is not good enough to look at houses together." Sister Tu was not as polite as Dai Li. She said whatever she wanted to say directly.

Dai Li didn't remember that Ye Zheng stole her role, but Sister Tu remembered it clearly.

The grudge between them involves more than just one character. Whenever Dai Li receives any notice, she has to get involved and is always trying to be superior.

At that time, the relationship between us was like fire and water, and now we are pretending to be acquaintances.

Sister Tu's words were so direct that Ye Zheng and her fiancé understood that she didn't want to look at houses with them.

Ye Zheng has always been a person who cares about her reputation. Now that her fiancé has been rejected in person, how could she bear it?

Besides, this manor doesn’t belong to Dai Li yet, so her fiancé doesn’t need to try hard to please her.

Could it be that he is here to rent the manor like them?

Ye Zheng deliberately asked, "You've seen enough. Do you want to buy it?"

Dai Li remained noncommittal: "I am quite satisfied, but it is not enough for me to be satisfied alone. I need to see everyone's opinions."

If the employees like it, then it can be finalized.

This rhetoric couldn't fool Ye Zheng. Even though his words were ambiguous, he was ultimately just trying to save face.

Two years have passed, and Dai Li is still the same as she was two years ago, always boasting and trying to save face.

"Then you have to buy the house quickly, otherwise my husband and I will snatch it away from you." Ye Zheng smiled proudly and crossed her arms. When it comes to caring about face, Ye Zheng is no less. It's just bragging, who can't brag?

Dai Li: "It would be best if you could buy it, otherwise I will send you a bill."

Ye Zheng looked bewildered: "What bill?"

Dai Li lowered her gaze to the bouquet of roses in her arms. "Such beautiful flowers, what a pity you picked them. You picked the flowers from the manor without permission. You said you were willing to buy them for 10,000 yuan each. Did I hear that correctly?"

Ye Zheng and her fiancé were both shocked. They didn't expect that Dai Li had heard the words they casually used to block the real estate agent.

Ye Zheng would feel bad about spending ten thousand yuan for a rose, as she had at least thirty or forty small roses in this bunch.

But everything is just assumption. How can she lose face at this time?

Ye Zheng: "It's still unclear who will buy it."

Her fiancé also said confidently, "When we buy the estate here, you can come pick all the flowers in the garden. I won't charge you ten thousand yuan a flower."

Ye Zheng smiled happily upon hearing this: "Husband, you are so generous."

Her fiancé said, "As long as you are happy, darling, I will plant roses all over the hill for you."

"I don't like roses. I want to pull them all out and plant poppies and cosmos instead." Ye Zheng was a little angry. Because Dai Li said that roses were beautiful, she insisted on pulling out all the roses in the garden.

Her fiancé said, "That's easy. I'll just get an excavator and dig it up. Then, honey, you can plant whatever you want."

Their behavior seemed extremely ridiculous in Dai Li's eyes.

If you really have a plan on how to build the manor, just buy it. What's the point of talking so much nonsense?

Dai Li chuckled and said, "I don't know whether you pulled out the roses first, or my bill arrived first."

Ye Zheng showed no sign of weakness and said with her chest puffed out, "Then we'll just wait and see."

Dai Li left with her real estate agent.

Ye Zheng was so angry that she threw the bouquet of roses in her hand to the ground.

"Who is this acquaintance of yours?" asked her fiancé.

"She's the woman I told you about before, the one who offended everyone in the circle and was forced to quit because she couldn't get any notices." Ye Zheng pouted in an extremely unhappy mood.

In her imagination, Dai Li should be ashamed to see her. She is now a well-known actress. Dai Li could not find any notice and was forced to retire from the circle.

Ye Zheng had been waiting to meet Dai Li again, waiting to show off in front of her and see her flee in panic.

After two years, they finally met today, and the result was completely different from what she had imagined.

I don’t know where Dai Li got the confidence to be so arrogant in front of her.

"The one who retired from the entertainment industry and married into a wealthy family?" The fiancé looked at Dai Li's receding back, frowning in thought.

If the other party really married into a wealthy family, then he had just missed a good opportunity to get to know the wealthy family.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Zheng more and more dissatisfied.

And it seems that Ye Zheng has a very bad relationship with the other party, and there seem to be many old grudges.

It is not worth it to offend the upper class and wealthy families because of a woman.

If Ye Zheng really offended a wealthy family, he would definitely not continue to be with Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng had no idea what her fiancé was thinking. She simply retorted, "That's just a rumor on the internet. There's no evidence at all."

Fiancé: "Rumors? But people are coming to buy the manor."

Ye Zheng: "She opened it and looked at it, so she wants to buy it. Besides, how can she marry into a wealthy family? No real wealthy family would look down on her."

"Why wouldn't you like her? She's much prettier than you. If you can find someone like me, why can't I find someone better?" The fiancé already regarded Dai Li as a wealthy family and thought Ye Zheng was just jealous of others.

He was telling the truth, but these were the very truths that Ye Zheng hated to hear the most.

"She's so much prettier than me? How is she prettier than me today? She's wearing cheap clothes and not even a single piece of jewelry on her body."

Her fiancé glanced at Ye Zheng frivolously, looking at the luxury goods she was wearing. "That's why no matter how expensive your gold and silver jewelry and luxury goods are, they won't add any points to your appearance. Others who wear casual street vendor clothes look better than you."

Ye Zheng really wanted to get angry with him, but she had no right to be angry with him. She still had to coax the man.

This man is different from Mr. Gong. Mr. Gong just wanted to play with her and never thought about being responsible for her from beginning to end.

When Mr. Gong bought Huiyao Media, the rumors within the company were different. He made the investment after careful consideration.

Ye Zheng was so naive that she actually thought Mr. Gong would spend a fortune on her.

Mr. Gong was not very generous to her. At the beginning, she took advantage of his favor and asked for resources several times, but was turned down every time.

The man in front of her was willing to marry her and even divorced his wife for her.

There weren't many men who could do this for her, and he was quite rich.

Although it is not as wealthy as Mr. Gong, it is more than enough to cover her expenses.

Men are extremely concerned about their reputation. As long as Ye Zheng can please him, she can get any resources she wants and buy whatever she wants, except for items with extremely high prices, such as the manor here today.

Men can’t afford the manor, but Mr. Gong can’t afford it either.

After comparing them in the same direction, she found that the man was the most ideal marriage partner she could get into, and she couldn't let him lose his popularity before marriage.

Ye Zheng said aggrievedly, "Aren't we discussing whether she married into a wealthy family? What does it have to do with my appearance? What I mean is, she's dressed so poorly, how can she look like someone who married into a wealthy family?"

The man thought about it carefully and felt that what Ye Zheng said made sense.

"So what do you think she's here for?"

Ye Zheng could only guess.

Since he came to see the manor, he must have important business. If he is not a client who wants to buy the manor, then he must be here for work.

"She must be here to help someone look after a house. Someone has asked her to come. She is just taking advantage of the situation."

Ye Zheng believed that his speculation was the truth.

Didn't Dai Li say that it wasn't enough for her to like him alone, and that she had to listen to other people's opinions? It wasn't that she couldn't like him alone, it was clearly because her likes didn't count.

"He's just a house-hunter, and he's really going to inflate his own prices."

She snorted coldly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She took out her mobile phone and took several pictures of Dai Li's back, and even zoomed in to take a picture of her face.

"Why are you taking pictures of her?" asked the fiancé.

Ye Zheng looked through the photos she had just taken one by one, and felt that Dai Li was more and more miserable. She used to be able to buy some luxury goods, but now she can only wear some cheap goods.

"A once famous young actress retired from the entertainment industry and sold her house. Her clothes are simple and she no longer looks like she used to be. But even if you post it, there are still gossip media willing to buy it."

She wanted everyone to know how miserable Dai Li's life was now.

Dai Li had no awareness of being secretly photographed and had no idea that she was being photographed. Her attention was on the manor from beginning to end.

The real estate agent spent three hours showing them around all the buildings in the estate.

Finally, he took the trouble to send them down the mountain.

I didn't have a break for the whole afternoon. Just looking at it, I felt that this job was not easy.

The real estate agent was used to his job and maintained great enthusiasm throughout the process.

After showing the guests the manor, he didn't rush to order. Instead, he said very considerately, "You all have seen the condition of the manor house. You can go back and think about it. If you want to see the house again, you can come to me at any time. Just call him in advance. My phone is available 24 hours a day."

As high-end real estate agents, they would love for customers to come and see the house more times. The more times they come to see the house, the more satisfied the customer will be, and the greater the chance of a deal.

"If you're not satisfied with the house you saw today, I have other listings. I'll send them to you when I get back. If you find one you like, just tell me directly."

Dai Li: "Don't bother. I won't look at any more houses."

The real estate agent didn't even stutter, and replied readily, "That's fine. You can contact me anytime you want to see it. I have it all, no matter what type of apartment it is."

Dai Li: "Contact the owner of the house with me and tell him I want to buy his house. Ask him to come back and handle the paperwork."

She has planned to buy the estate, and if her employees are unwilling to work here, she will use it as her own private residence.

Wu Xuelin sent the photos taken on the scene to the group, and the employees in the group excitedly shouted like they were atavistic.

If they don't even like the beautiful manor, then these employees must be ungrateful.

Fortunately, they knew what was good for them and praised the generous boss in various ways in the group.

The employees were satisfied, Dai Li was satisfied too, and the house was decided.

"What did you say?" The real estate agent, who had been stuttering just now, stuttered in surprise, and the stable car made an "S" line on the road.

It was Wu Xuelin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, who shouted "brake" in time, that allowed the real estate agent to come to his senses and safely stop the car in the middle of the road.

Sister Tu: "You really scared me to death."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The real estate agent apologized repeatedly.

Sister Tu straightened her messy hair and asked, "Is this surprising to you?"

How could the real estate agent not be surprised? This is a large manor covering half a mountain. The agency commission is enough for him to earn for ten years.

The real estate agent confirmed again: "Are you really going to buy this estate?"

Sister Tu: "Of course it's true. Are we still teasing you?"

The real estate agent looked at Dai Li. He was waiting for Dai Li to come back because he knew that Dai Li was the one who made the decision.

Dai Li nodded and said, "Go contact the landlord."

The real estate agent's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Will you all come with me to the company today to pay the deposit?"

Sister Tu glanced at the time: "Today? It's a bit late, it's already six o'clock, you guys should be off work too."

The real estate agent felt a little regretful that he couldn't sign the contract today, but he didn't force it. The client's wishes were the most important. If they pushed too hard and made the client feel uncomfortable, it would be counterproductive.

"Then please come on a day that's convenient for you tomorrow. I'll have my colleagues prepare the documents in advance."

Dai Li: "Would you like to work overtime today?"

How could the real estate agent not understand the implication of her words? How could he not seize such a good opportunity? He quickly said, "It's not overtime at all. We real estate agents usually get off work late, so everyone is in the office at this time."

He drove at full speed, keeping to the speed limit, and rushed back to the company.

From signing to paying the deposit, and then to contacting the homeowner who lives abroad.

The current owner was in a hurry to sell the house. When he heard that someone wanted to buy his house, he bought a plane ticket back that same day.

On the day when the formalities were completed, the real estate agent felt like he was dreaming, as if he was walking on cotton.

He finally felt relieved, as he had been worried that the deal would fail.

Mr. Wu has been trying to lower the price to the current owner since he met him.

He pushed the price so hard that even the real estate agent felt it would be difficult to close the deal at that price.

The current owner of the house was unwilling to accept the price offered by Mr. Wu. The two of them met for talks several times, but each time ended in failure.

Later, the current owner was annoyed by him and slammed the table and said he would not sell the house.

That was the last time the two parted ways on bad terms.

During this period, Miss Dai, who was in charge, did not show up and entrusted the entire task to Mr. Wu.

The real estate agent saw this and was worried, so he secretly called Dai Li several times, hoping that she could meet the current owner in person.

The current owner also has this intention and wants to talk directly with the buyer.

He also heard that the person behind the purchase of the house was a woman. Whether from the perspective of gender or the decision-maker, the current owner would rather talk to Dai Li.

But Dai Li was not very willing to do so, saying that she had already handed the work over to Wu Xuelin and his decision was her own.

The person representing her was a stubborn person. No matter how much you talked, even though he had lowered his price three times in a row, he refused to raise it by a penny.

"Brother, I've been in the business world for more than 30 years, and I've never met someone as difficult to talk to as you. If I had the temper I had back then, I would have left on the first day of talking to you." No matter how unwilling the current landlord was, he couldn't help but call Wu Xuelin out.

Wu Xuelin said bluntly: "Brother, if you could have slammed the table and walked away on the first day, I wouldn't have bargained with you like this."

The current owner looked at him for a moment, then laughed in anger: "You're sure I want to sell the manor, right? Aren't you afraid that I really won't sell it?"

Wu Xuelin drank his coffee leisurely and said, "If you don't want to sell it, just keep it. I think it would be nice to turn it into a wedding venue. The rental fee is 100,000 each time. If you are willing to rent out your main building as well, you will definitely make more money."

His words were like a stab in the chest of the current owner.

Every brick and wall he carefully designed, every blade of grass and tree he personally arranged, can only be used as a wedding venue in the future?

There are so many outsiders coming and going that they don’t take good care of the items in the manor.

Renting out the wedding venue was a helpless move for him as he didn't want the huge manor to be idle.

The rental fee for a wedding is just a small amount, and not many people rent it every day. There are not so many people getting married in a city, and even fewer people are willing to spend 100,000 to rent a venue.

He also has another concern, that too many wedding ceremonies will affect the house's selling price.

The richer people are, the more they value privacy and scarcity. The current owner of the house is also a rich man and understands this well.

Once everyone has visited this manor and even ordinary people know every tree and blade of grass in it, the manor will lose its value in the eyes of the rich.

This is also the reason why the current owner insists on not renting out the main building.

Renting out the manor is not a long-term solution. He no longer lives in the country, and if he doesn't sell the manor, he won't be able to cash in, and he will have to pay additional maintenance fees.

The house has been on the market for many years and many people are interested in it. This is the first person in five or six years who is willing to pay for it.

The current owner cherishes the house even more, so he is reluctant to leave. He would rather keep competing with Wu Xuelin, and then he is the one who gets angry every time.

Although he did not show an urgent desire to buy a house, the other party seemed to have figured out his thoughts and had a firm grip on him on the price.

After several days of negotiations, the current homeowner saw no hope of raising the price and completely lost his temper. He no longer had the energy to continue competing with Wu Xuelin.

He compromised and said, "You young people nowadays are really good. I have to admit you are inferior to me."

At this moment, Wu Xuelin knew how to be polite and said politely: "It's you who are so straightforward, big brother."

The current homeowner stared at Wu Xuelin. When he was about to sign the document, he reluctantly put down the pen in his hand.

"Brother, can you give me a little higher price? We have negotiated for seven or eight times, and you won't raise the price even a penny. How can I tell others about this? Where can I put my face?"

It's embarrassing to tell others that I'm not as good as a young boy in negotiation.

In the end, Wu Xuelin gave the current owner a favor and symbolically raised the price.

"Then add a hundred, no more."

The current homeowner was choked by his breath, feeling both angry and amused: "Okay, add a hundred, then it's a hundred. I can say that I'm getting some money from you."

Both the real estate agent and the former owner finally felt relieved.

The former owner relaxed and started chatting with Wu Xuelin: "When are you going to move in? I want to take one last look at the house. It's all my hard work, and I'm a little reluctant to sell it now."

Wu Xuelin: "It will take us a few days to move the company. We have a lot of equipment. You can come and see the house anytime this week, big brother."

The real estate agent and the former homeowner said in surprise, "Moving company?"

Wu Xuelin: "We are moving our entire company there and converting the manor into our office and accommodation."

Real estate agent and former homeowner: "..."

They actually used this luxurious manor as an office.

It goes without saying that the real estate agent was envious, and even the previous owner was a little envious.
