Chapter 8 Eighth Patent



Dai Li's guess about today's weather was correct. The sky had been gloomy since the afternoon, with a few snowflakes blowing from time to time.

However, the bad weather did not stop the film festival from being lively.

Today's event is a large-scale domestic film festival. Many stars gathered on the scene, and various senior and popular artists attended in their best attire. Almost half of the entertainment industry came.

Such a grand event in the film industry, tickets for the film festival were sold out early.

Not only that, the live broadcasting rights were also sold at a high price.

The red carpet was surrounded by reporters and fans on both sides. Whenever a popular star walked by, it would trigger a burst of flashes and screams.

In front of Dai Li was a popular young actress who had recently become very popular. She was asked to take photos on the red carpet for more than ten minutes. After signing autographs, she was kept back by the host and asked questions for several minutes.

Looking at her white back from the back of her dress from a distance, you can imagine how cold it must be.

As soon as Dai Li got out of the car, she felt a gust of wind. She was fine as she was wearing a constant temperature suit and didn't feel the cold at all. However, she heard the cameraman next to her who was wearing a down jacket sneeze.

The reporters and fans saw Dai Li getting out of the car from a distance, but they didn't realize who she was. They thought she was just an assistant of some star who got out of the car to help get something.

It wasn't until she walked on the red carpet that people took a closer look at her face.

"Am I seeing correctly? The one coming over now is Dai Li?"

"Why is she here in casual clothes? Didn't she borrow a dress?"

"I haven't seen her in public for a long time. She's really become obscure. I can't even borrow a dress."

"Given her scheming, I think she did it on purpose. She didn't wear a dress on the red carpet, she wore casual clothes. She's so unique. Tsk, it's just to get on the trending search."

"I'd rather fall on the red carpet and attract attention than end up like her. Her clothes are so ordinary. They're no different from what I wear to buy groceries in the summer. There's absolutely no sense of design."

There were few fans and reporters who were seriously taking pictures of Dai Li at the scene. Instead, everyone started gossiping.

Start sharing the gossip and rumors you hear from everywhere.

"I know her agent was trying to borrow a dress from everyone yesterday, but no one wanted to lend it to her."

"Didn't she announce the good news not long ago, saying she'd joined a new crew? Then I heard she offended the crew and was replaced. Now it seems she hasn't received any announcements."

"I heard her company has given up on her and now they barely assign her any work. She just came here to dabble in the red carpet today."

"That's right. She's currently recording a program for a small city-level radio station. It has no publicity or sponsorship, and it's broke and shabby. This is the best offer she could get."

The more they talked, the more they felt that Dai Li was miserable and pitiful.

But she deserves the misery, it's all her own fault.

If you want to use your beauty to bully others in the entertainment industry but don’t have the ability, Dai Li is a living example.

While others attracted the attention of the whole audience with luxurious haute couture, Dai Li's unique hoodie also successfully created a topic of discussion in the whole audience.

After entering the film festival venue, many people were still whispering about her.

Dai Li followed the staff's instructions and found her seat.

Sitting at the same table with her was the popular young actress who walked in front of her on the red carpet.

Even though she was already indoors, Xiaohua was still shivering from the cold.

The venue of the film festival is so huge that even with the heating on, the indoor temperature is only five or six degrees above zero.

Xiaohua really wanted to put on a blanket, but when she found the camera was facing her, she immediately put the blanket down, straightened her back, adjusted her collar, and carefully adjusted herself to the best angle.

Then she saw Dai Li, dressed casually, slowly approaching and sitting down beside her calmly.

Xiaohua was stunned by the shock.

It was snowing heavily outside and she was freezing like a fool but she refused to wrap herself in a blanket. She just wanted to look beautiful in front of the camera and she would do anything to look beautiful.

Why do some people care so little about their red carpet image?

Although the two were not familiar with each other and only knew each other's names, Xiaohua, unable to resist her curiosity, still spoke to Dai Li.

"Where's your dress? Did something suddenly happen to it and you can't wear it?"

Dai Li looked at herself with sudden realization: "Oh no, I didn't borrow it."

"Since you couldn't borrow a dress, you have nothing else to wear?" Xiaohua expressed her disdain in a tactful way.

"Yes, but none of them are as warm as this."

Xiaohua looked at the thin coat on Dai Li with a look of confusion on her face, and there seemed to be many question marks in her eyes.

She jokingly said, "How warm can it be? Could it be as warm as a down jacket?"

Dai Li raised her eyebrows, surprised to find that her deskmate Xiaohua was quite knowledgeable.

She nodded as if it was natural: "Of course, but it is much warmer than a down jacket."

As she spoke, she pulled out a thermostatic suit from her handbag. "This suit is made of thermostatic material. No matter whether the weather is hot or cold, you can maintain a constant temperature in a second. It keeps you warm in the cold winter and cools you down in the hot summer. It's suitable for all seasons. V me 500 and I'll give you the suit."

Dai Li handed the clothes to Xiaohua, but Xiaohua's expression was really that she couldn't hold it anymore.

I care about you with good intentions, but you want to sell me clothes.

Not only did you sell me clothes, but you also tried to play me like a fool.

I could buy something else with 500 yuan, but I bought you a piece of clothing that is thinner than paper, has no brand, and has no sense of design.

Xiaohua's whole body was filled with resistance.

"No thanks."

"Aren't you cold? I see your lips are purple. If you keep going like this, you're going to have a runny nose soon."

When Xiaohua thought of herself having a runny nose, the smile on her face froze and she quickly wrapped herself in a blanket.

Dai Li: "Ah, your blanket is far less warm than my constant temperature suit. Are you sure you really don't want my constant temperature suit?"

Xiaohua: If I buy it, I will be a pig head.

Although her teeth were still chattering, she still said stubbornly, "Thank you, I'm not cold anymore. You should sell it to someone else who needs it."

Xiaohua originally meant to mock her by saying this, but she didn't expect Dai Li to actually look for other buyers.

However, she asked several people around her and was rejected.

Xiaohua couldn't help it and found a friend in the circle to complain.

[Zhao Yier]: Do you know how bizarre Dai Li was? She actually sold clothes at the film festival, asking everyone if they wanted to buy her sun-protective clothing.

[Tao Xu]: Could it be that she is wearing a sun-protective jacket for the red carpet today?

[Zhao Yier]: You know that too?

[Tao Xu]: There is a discussion online now, and everyone is guessing why she wore casual clothes to the film festival.

Xiaohua logged onto the social platform and indeed saw entries related to Dai Li.

The comments above are varied, and most of them are unpleasant, saying that she is going to be finished.

Among these comments, one with a different style suddenly caught Xiaohua's attention.

[Just Want to Get Rich Quickly]: Other stars were so cold that they shrugged their shoulders, but Dai Li didn't look cold at all.

The following replies are from people who share the same feelings as [Just want to get rich quickly].

[Drink more water] replied to [Just want to get rich quickly]: I think she is not only not cold, she looks warmer than those wearing down jackets.

[喵喵喵喵喵] replied to [只想快富快]: I wish I could be as strong as a female celebrity. Today, I went out to pick up a package and it gave me a runny nose.

Now Xiaohua couldn't hold back any longer and started to reply below.

[This is a small account] replied to [Just want to get rich quickly]: At the scene, she really didn't look cold, because she said that her sun protection clothing is made of constant temperature material, which keeps warm in winter and cools down in summer. No matter whether the weather is cold or hot, it can keep the temperature constant in one second when put on. It only costs 500 yuan and has already started to be sold at the venue :).

Not long after Xiaohua posted her comment, she received a bunch of question marks in her private messages.

Apparently everyone is like her.

The abnormal one is Dai Li.

How on earth did Dai Li come up with such an outrageous slogan?

I watched Dai Li next to me try her best to sell things but came back empty-handed.

Xiaohua was a little pleased to hear this: "Didn't you sell your good stuff?"

Dai Li did not miss the mockery in Xiaohua's eyes, but she didn't care much.

“You’ll always find someone who knows what they’re talking about.”

At this moment, a female star with delicate features suddenly sat down in front of their seats. Judging from her face, she was no longer young, but she had a good temperament and her face was well maintained, so she didn't look her age.

She should have been the last to walk the red carpet, so she arrived just now.

As soon as she sat down, people around her came over enthusiastically to greet her.

Almost everyone at the scene knew her, Di Lan, the actress who has won all film awards and has also achieved remarkable results abroad. She is an actress with both good reputation and box office success.

In recent years, after Di Lan got married and had children, she rarely appeared in public, but every time she appeared, she would become the focus of the public and attract many people to approach her.

Maybe because of his age, Di Lan was wearing the thickest clothes in the whole venue, and he also put on an environmentally friendly fur coat.

Even so, she always holds a hand warmer in her hand.

Seeing this, Xiaohua suddenly had an idea and suggested a bad idea to Dai Li: "Why don't you ask Sister Di Lan again? I heard that Sister Di Lan is the kindest person. She might be soft-hearted and buy your constant temperature suit."

Xiaohua just said it casually, she didn't expect Dai Li to actually stand up and walk over.

"Hey, you, I was just kidding--" Xiaohua couldn't even stop the person.

Dai Li did not decide to find Di Lan on a whim. Today was the first time she realized how cruel the actresses were to her. It was absolutely impossible to get them to admit that they were cold. They would rather freeze to death than die of "ugliness" in the warmth.

So she felt that the older Di Lan was different from the popular young actresses, and should pay more attention to keeping warm, and was more likely to buy her constant temperature clothing.

Di Lan's eco-friendly fur looks thick, but its warmth retention is just average. Even if you sit in the venue without moving, you will still feel cold.

Her assistant knew Di Lan's health best. After the crowd of people greeting her had dispersed, she asked worriedly, "Sister Lan, are you okay? Do you want me to put two more heat packs on you?"

Di Lan rubbed the hand warmer in his hand and hesitated for a moment: "Will it swell? I have to go on stage to present an award later. It would be bad if I was photographed."

"I'll put it on for you to warm up first, and then I'll take it off when you go on stage."

Di Lan then reluctantly agreed.

As the assistant was looking for a heat pack in her bag, she couldn't help but complain, "Don't agree to an event like this next time. This weather is enough to make someone sick."

"They were all invited by old friends, so it's hard to refuse."

"If Brother Yu knew about this, he would definitely be angry with you."

"You're the only one who talks too much, why don't you put it on quickly? Get away from the camera and don't let anyone take pictures of you."

The assistant responded repeatedly. When she carefully bent her back and was about to put a hot pack on Di Lan, a black spot suddenly appeared on her head.

When I looked up, I saw a strange beautiful face.

The assistant thought she was just there to say hello, so he said, "Wait a moment, I have something to do with Sister Lan."

"This thing you put on is useless. It can only keep you warm." Dai Li said.

assistant:?

How could I not know?

Dai Li handed the clothes to Di Lan and said, "Try this piece of clothing of mine. It's warmer than your hot pack."

The assistant looked around in confusion: "What kind of clothes are you wearing?"

"It's a constant temperature suit. It makes you warm as soon as you put it on. It's even warmer than your furry clothes."

Di Lan subconsciously thought that Dai Li was her fan and came to give her a gift.

Although the gift is a bit strange, it is still a thoughtful gesture.

Di Lan smiled and reached out to take it: "Thank you."

But he found that Dai Li did not let go immediately.

"500, how do I pay?"

Di Lan was stunned.

The assistant asked in surprise: "You want more money?"

Dai Li: "Yes, 500 yuan is a fair price. Don't look down on this dress. It is printed with constant temperature material. No matter whether the weather is hot or cold, it can provide a constant temperature experience when worn. It is warmer than a down jacket in winter."

The assistant has been with Di Lan in the entertainment industry for decades, but this is the first time he has encountered someone who can talk so much nonsense.

Di Lan has been in the entertainment industry for decades, and this is the first time he has witnessed serious nonsense.

The expressions of both people were very subtle at the time.

Di Lan smiled gently and asked, "Did you do this yourself?"

Dai Li nodded: "Yes, I just printed it out yesterday."

Di Lan nodded. "Okay, consider it my way of supporting your career as a young person. I'll buy this dress."

Assistant: "Sister Lan!"

I winked at Di Lan hard, "Can't you see that she is lying to you?"

Di Lan shook his head slightly: "Zhuzhu, transfer money to the little girl."

The assistant reluctantly took out his mobile phone to transfer the money.

After Dai Li left, the assistant finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Sister Lan, I know you have a kind heart, but you can't let others take advantage of you."

Di Lan: "Young people exaggerating when selling things is not a big deal. Okay, don't take it too seriously."

The assistant compromised and said, "Let's just do a good deed today. But what about this dress? Should we keep it?"

Di Lan thought for a moment and said, "Put it in your bag first. We can donate it later if we don't want to wear it."

When Xiaohua saw Dai Li coming back, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

She never expected that Dai Li actually sold the constant temperature suit to Di Lan just because she mentioned it casually.
