"Did I mishear, or has Old Liu gone senile?" Yan Donglai, after a moment of stunned silence, looked at Old Liu as if he were an idiot.
"Someone's applying for patents? And data for an entire busload? Isn't that ridiculous? Do you know how big a bus is? Do you know how many patents would be involved for an entire busload of data?
That person must be here to cause trouble. Just send them away and stop wasting my time! Tell them to get lost and not bother me while I'm reading the newspaper."
Having said his piece, Yan Donglai leaned back in his chair again. Old Liu was getting more muddled with age, reporting anything that fluttered by. It was such a waste of his time!
"But Director, I checked. Their documentation is complete and there are no issues. It completely follows the procedure. It wouldn't be appropriate to just chase them away, would it?" Old Liu said helplessly.
"All procedures are complete and there are no issues? And it's an entire busload of data?"
Yan Donglai asked several times, and upon receiving Old Liu's affirmative reply, he reluctantly put down his newspaper and teacup.
"I'll go take a look and see who's making such a fuss and toying with me," he grumbled, following Old Liu out of the office. They then saw a young man waiting for him with a leisurely expression.
What? It's just a young man.
Yan Donglai became even more displeased with Old Sun. He had initially assumed it was some old expert or professor, someone who might have some patent applications after deep research.
But now, such a young man, who probably still had no facial hair, coming here to apply for patents? If this wasn't toying with him, what was it?
"Where are you from... Hmm?"
Yan Donglai was about to directly dismiss the youth when he suddenly found him increasingly familiar.
Hmm? Isn't this the young man who was reported in the newspaper for challenging and defeating the technologies of He Island?
The newspaper published his photo, saying he was the factory director of Jiangyang County Automobile Factory, named Wang Yu?
Hmm, the electric water kettle he was using now, wasn't it produced by that automobile factory?
Yan Donglai mused, perhaps he really was here to apply for patents? Such a young person...
"Hello, I am Yan Donglai, the director of the Patent Office."
Regardless, this was someone who could get into the federal newspaper. Yan Donglai approached with a hint of politeness and respect, extending his hand for a handshake.
"Oh, Director Yan, hello."
Wang Yu also extended his hand to reciprocate the handshake, then said, "I'm here to apply for patents. Here is the data."
With that, Wang Yu produced a thick stack of documents.
"Oh, applying for patents, no problem."
Yan Donglai smiled, took the documents from Wang Yu, and then glared fiercely at Old Sun. It was clearly just this one set of documents, yet he said it was a busload? He was so quick to jump to conclusions, and at his age, he should be more composed!
"Don't worry, young man. As long as your data is in order, we will quickly complete your patent application... What are you pulling me for?"
Yan Donglai intended to casually put away Wang Yu's documents but was pulled by the sleeve by Old Sun, who kept winking at him.
"Director, this young man's data..."
Old Sun hesitated to speak.
"What about the data?"
"This is just the table of contents."
"What?" Yan Donglai was stunned for a moment, then incredulously opened the thick stack of documents in his hands. What met his eyes were dense lists of various patent names, categorized and detailed clearly.
"Son of a bitch!"
Yan Donglai suppressed a curse. This was indeed a table of contents!
Then how much related data would there be? It might truly require an entire busload!
At this moment, Yan Donglai had a very bad premonition. He quickly looked at Wang Yu, "Uh... young man, are you sure these are all patents you are applying for?"
"That's right. I have prepared all the related data. It's a lot, so I specifically used a small bus to transport it."
Wang Yu smiled a little shyly. He had applied for patents in his previous life and knew it was a very tedious and complex process, not something that could be done with just a few words.
Therefore, since his rebirth, he had been sorting through the knowledge in his mind, selecting what could be realized under the current environment and foundation for patent applications.
He had spent a significant amount of time and energy these days to organize so much data and compile it, almost to the point of collapsing!
Coincidentally, Kaelena had also brought related patent authorizations. Since he was sending one sheep, he might as well send two, so Wang Yu directly brought all the existing data to the Patent Office.
Upon hearing Wang Yu's confirmation, Yan Donglai felt a dizziness in his head.
A busload... My god...
How much work would that entail?
"Uh, young man, how many patents are you actually planning to apply for?"
Yan Donglai sighed and asked Wang Yu.
"The first batch is about 2,000. Most are invention patents and utility model patents. I haven't dealt with design patents yet; those are relatively simple and can be done later."
Wang Yu's words made Yan Donglai want to vomit blood even more. He meant there would be more later? Design patents were the simplest, while invention patents and utility model patents were much more troublesome, requiring various evaluations and reviews!
Are you crazy, or am I? Where did so many patents come from? Do you think they're cabbage heads at the village entrance?
It's over! It looks like my holiday and leisurely good days are coming to an end!
Yan Donglai grumbled as he followed Wang Yu out to the entrance of the administrative building, where a bus was parked.
"I'll be damned..."
Yan Donglai was completely stunned. The bus in front of him was a large intercity transport bus!
He had initially thought it was a small bus or a medium-sized bus like a regular city bus, but who knew it was a full-sized large bus!
Inside the bus, the various files and documents were neatly stacked, sorted, and packed, filling the entire interior of the large bus!
Looking at the pile of documents, he then heard Wang Yu continue, "These are the 2,000 patent documents for the first batch. The second batch is about another 1,500, expected to be delivered within three months. As for design patents, we'll talk about them later."
"Another 1,500? And design patents are separate?"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Yan Donglai felt his world spin, his vision blurred, and he fainted on the spot...
