Chapter 446:1 Requested Him Before

She praised Little Cat for being amazing and being able to create air conditioners with electricity. She did not accept his offer and hugged Little Cat.
Bai Wutong was only willing to accept the spray fan he had personally made. Sheng Huaixuan led him to the patent registration office and asked Minister Zheng to be in charge of registering him.
This was someone Sheng Huaixuan had personally brought over. Zheng Guo did not dare to underestimate Little Cat at all. He carefully registered the use of the spray fan, the construction cost, and the production difficulty. After a while, he made a business evaluation of Little Cat’s spray fan.
The cost of Little Cat’s spray fan was medium-class, its comfort level was superior-class, and its production difficulty was medium-class. However, it was only suitable in the summer season. Moreover, such things were not necessary. If the weather was too hot, they could survive by hiding in the room.
Therefore, Little Cat’s spray fan patent was judged to be medium-class. If Little Cat wanted to sell the patent directly, Zheng Guo could give it to others to choose from. If Little Cat wanted to build his own workshop to sell his products, Zheng Guo could also help him contact the suppliers.
Little Cat thought of Zhang Tiantian and said to Zheng Guo, “Thank you, Sir. I have decided who to give the patent to.”
Zheng Guo smiled and said, “Of course. If you can’t sell it, you can contact us later.”
Little Cat nodded and unknowingly walked to the front of the Zhang family’s villa.
They had all been from Youjia village previously. When they arrived at the southern frontier, their villas were not far apart.
Little Cat stayed at the door for a while before bumping into Zhang Tiantian, who had sneaked out and was planning to buy cake.
Ever since that farewell, Zhang Tiantian no longer had the courage to bother Little Cat.
When she suddenly saw Little Cat, her eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
Xiao Xue said in surprise, “Miss, Little Cat is here for you, right?”
Zhang Tiantian was not sure. “Probably.” But he was standing there. Why wouldn’t he dare to greet her?
Just as Zhang Tiantian was feeling uneasy, Little Cat suddenly walked towards her. His expression was solemn, as if he wanted to settle scores with her.
Her heart couldn’t help but beat faster. She subconsciously took a step back.
Little Cat stood in front of her. “Does your family still want my spray fan?”
“Ah???” Zhang Tiantian was a little confused.
Little Cat frowned and waited for her answer. Zhang Tiantian reacted and immediately nodded crazily. She guessed and asked, “The Great Empress has agreed? She wants to give us the production rights?”
Little Cat’s tone turned cold. “The Great Empress only accepted the spray fan from me. The patent is still in my hands.” With that, he took out a complete blueprint of the spray fan and a patent transfer document. “Keep it well.”
Just as Zhang Tiantian held it firmly, Little Cat had already turned around coolly, leaving her with a cold back view.
Zhang Tiantian opened it and her eyes widened. She forgot about her cake, turned around and rushed into the house to look for Madam Zhang. “Mother! Hurry up and call Father back!”
Madam Zhang frowned and stood up. “How many times have I told you not to make a fuss? Look at yourself. You’re not even as obedient as Little Peach next door.”
Zhang Tiantian didn’t talk back and placed the patent authorization in front of Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang glanced at it strangely and was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth. “Where did you get this?”
Zhang Tiantian said excitedly, “Little Cat gave it to me!”
Madam Zhang was even more surprised. “Why would he give it to you?”
Zhang Tiantian said, “I have an agreement with him, but it’s not good for him to give it to us like this, right? We have to at least visit him and thank him, and ask Father to give him money, right?”
She did not know how much money she should ask Patriarch Zhang to give. In any case, she felt that she could not let Little Cat down.
Madam Zhang was stunned. “He didn’t say how much silver it cost?”
Zhang Tiantian widened her eyes. “He said it was for me. I don’t think he wants my silver.”
Madam Zhang walked around and looked at the housekeeper. She urged, “How long until Master comes back?”
The housekeeper smiled bitterly. “Madam, the subordinate has just been sent out. It will take at least an hour or two.”
They waited for a long time before Patriarch Zhang rushed back. “What’s wrong?”
Madam Zhang quickly gave him the blueprint given by Little Cat and the patent transfer authorization.
When Patriarch Zhang saw this, he was dumbfounded. “Isn’t he going to offer it to the Great Empress?”
Zhang Tiantian said, “He said that the Great Empress has already accepted it, but the patent is still in his hands.”
Patriarch Zhang: “Then why did he give it to you again?”
Zhang Tiantian blushed. “I requested him previously.”
Patriarch Zhang said excitedly, “This kid is not bad, very good! Hurry up and prepare a generous gift. We’ll thank him properly.”
Zhang Tiantian emphasized, “Father, you have to give him money!” Otherwise, she would lose face.
Patriarch Zhang laughed loudly. “Is your father that kind of person? Father will definitely give him as much as he wants. If he wants a dividend, there’s no problem.”
Satisfied, Zhang Tiantian went to count the gifts with Madam Zhang.
Little Cat was in her filial period, so it was not good for them to wear clothes that were too bright.
Madam Zhang chose some simple and low-key silk and satin, jade jewelry, and asked Master Zhang to bring some books that Little Cat might like. When Zhang Xiu returned home, the entire family would visit him officially.
Little Cat politely invited them into the house. Tao Yinzhen was not around, so Madam Zhang placed the gift on the table. Little Cat directly rejected it and bluntly said that he would not ask them for a single cent since he had given them the patent.
Patriarch Zhang shook his head firmly. “How can I accept such an expensive thing casually?”
Little Cat glanced at Zhang Tiantian, who was secretly looking at him. She was caught off guard and met his gaze. She hurriedly cowered.
“If Patriarch Zhang doesn’t accept it, then you can tear it.”
Little Cat actually gave such an answer. Patriarch Zhang was stunned for a moment. He could tell that Little Cat was a straightforward and decisive person, so he cupped his hands solemnly and said, “Thank you! If I can help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Little Cat nodded. “Patriarch Zhang, you’re welcome.”
After bringing the things over, he brought them back intact.
On the way, Madam Zhang complained, “This child is quite arrogant!”
Patriarch Zhang stroked his beard and smiled. “Which talented person doesn’t have some pride? If I had another daughter, I would definitely settle this marriage now.”
Madam Zhang glanced at Zhang Tiantian and thought about her marriage with the Cui family. Madam Cui had always avoided talking about it and did not seem to like their Zhang Tiantian. Madam Zhang rolled her eyes and quietly said to Patriarch Zhang, “You’re so satisfied with Little Cat, and Little Cat even specially fulfilled his promise to Tiantian. Tiantian is two and a half years older than Little Cat. Isn’t she quite compatible?”
Little Cat was deeply liked by the Great Empress and was Cui Shize’s final disciple. He was extremely intelligent. Apart from his family being a little small, he was quite good in every aspect.
Patriarch Zhang was stunned. “Don’t you want Tiantian to marry into the Cui family?”
It was very common for the 30 families of Qinghe to arrange marriages. Patriarch Zhang thought that even if Madam Zhang could not negotiate a marriage with the Cui family, she would choose other suitable direct descendants.
Logically speaking, Little Cat was not within her choice at all.
Madam Zhang chuckled. “The others don’t like our Tiantian, so why should I go? Besides, Little Cat is next door. I’m not afraid of her being bullied if she’s married over..”
