Chapter 989: A Short Separation Makes You Happy
The next morning, everyone was driven back by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs early in the morning.
After helping to load the CT scanner onto the truck, everyone got on their cars and prepared to go back to the machine repair shop for repairs. Then they split into two groups, some going back to Nianwei Hospital and some staying in the machine repair shop.
"Ms. Song, this is the patent document for the CT scanner. A total of 114 national patents have been applied for. The document has been stamped by the bureau. Please take a look. Do you have any questions?"
Director Fan of the Patent Office hurried over and handed the document to Song Yi personally.
"Director Fan, thank you so much! You are so fast. On behalf of the machine repair factory and Nanyi Machinery, I sincerely thank you!" Song Yi stretched out his hand and shook his hand. He carefully looked through the contents of the document. The more he read, the happier he became. He immediately said, "Director Fan, I will arrange a time later and will definitely treat you to a meal. Please do me the honor!"
"Oh, Miss Song, you are so polite! See you later!" Director Fan was also a man of the world. He was very happy to be invited to dinner by the Song family and did not refuse at all.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he saw the people from the Patent Office leave first. After saying goodbye to Li Xiangnan and his group, the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Health Bureau, he happily invited everyone to get in the car.
The convoy began to move towards the Hongshankou Machine Repair Factory.
"Have the patent documents arrived?" As soon as Li Xiangnan got in the car, Song Yi stuffed the documents into his hands.
"Well, guess how many patents?" Song Yi was adjusting her clothes, looking very excited.
Wang Defa, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head and asked in surprise, "Song Yi, judging from your tone, it's a lot?"
"114 items?" When Li Xiangnan called out this number, he was also somewhat surprised. He said in astonishment, "I remember that I only submitted items of materials?"
"Yes!" Song Yi explained, "The people in the Patent Office are not fools. This time the CT scanner can be made in China, and the cost is lower than that of Japan. Even if it is exported in the future, the price will be lower than that of Japan. If it is exported, these patent protections are necessary! Naturally, we have to spend more time on the details that can be patented!"
"Tsk, after all, professionals do professional things! Xiao Li, this is much more comprehensive than we thought! Very good!" Wang Defa also said happily: "In this way, whether it is to meet the domestic market or export, we don't have to worry about others imitating us!"
Li Xiangnan nodded and put away the documents, then asked, "How far has the center's legal department been established? The CT machine has now been released, and what we will face next is market competition. If we are targeted by our peers, legal disputes are inevitable!"
"Don't worry! It's hard to find lawyers in China now, and most of them don't want to move. I talked to my second uncle about this, and he promised to introduce us to a few lawyers, some of whom have studied abroad, and some are professors at the University of Political Science and Law in China. I'll go meet them in person later!"
"Okay!" Li Xiangnan felt relieved after hearing what Song Yi said. He glanced out the window and shouted, "Zimo, find a phone number. I'll make a call!"
"Brother Nan, why are you in such a hurry?" Song Zimo smiled.
"Drive your car!" Song Yi glared at her brother who was looking in the rearview mirror.
Li Xiangnan smiled silently, "I haven't contacted my family for six or seven days, it would be a good idea to give them a call first!"
I found a phone on the side of the road and called the municipal police station.
After a few calls, a series of exclamations rang out in the microphone, "Xiangnan, you're back?"
"Yeah! Ruobai, is everything okay at home?"
As soon as he heard his wife's voice, Li Xiangnan's heart almost melted and a smile unconsciously climbed up his cheeks.
"Yeah, everything is fine! Are you worried about your family? No need to worry at all! Uncle Liu told Grandpa that you were on a business trip that day, and everyone in the family knows that you were away on business!"
"That's good!" Li Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhiyuan was indeed very meticulous in his work. He must have known that Song Yingxin's visit to him was not a normal thing, so he informed his family in advance.
Otherwise, if I don’t go home for a few days, my family will be very worried!
"Then I'll pick you up tonight!"
After agreeing on what to do in the evening, Li Xiangnan hung up the phone, got in the car with everyone else and transported the CT machine back to the repair shop. He handed the patent documents to the overjoyed Liu Zhiyuan. The old man was so happy that his face turned into a chrysanthemum. He insisted on taking everyone to the small private room in the cafeteria to have lunch.
By the afternoon, Yang Weidong and Ding Yuqiu returned to the factory hospital, while Li Xiangnan, Lei Jin, Wang Defa and Wang Qi went back to Nianwei Hospital.
The hospital was quiet these days and there was nothing much to do at school, so a few people went back to the hospital and helped put the borrowed medical equipment into storage, which took them the entire afternoon.
In the evening, Li Xiangnan rode his bike to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. As soon as he arrived at the door, the security guard invited him in for tea.
As Mr. Shang poured tea, he said admiringly, "Advisor Li, are you here to take the family members home again?"
"Yes, sir, please have a cigarette!" Li Xiangnan stood up, took the tea, and handed the man a cigarette.
"Advisor Li, you and your wife are really amazing. Captain Qin works so hard, and with your help in solving so many cases, his promotion is like a rocket! Look, at such a young age, he has become the deputy captain of the first brigade of our municipal bureau. He is young and promising, young and promising!"
Li Xiangnan smiled, agreed and waited. When Qin Ruobai came out of the building, he quickly said hello to the old man and rushed out.
The two of them looked at each other with relish, then ran away in a hurry.
Xu Qiluo behind her was still looking for her master, but she had no idea that her master had already disappeared with Li Xiangnan.
Why so urgent?
When dry wood meets fire, it burns more vigorously than usual.
After a long drought, the earth is looking forward to more rain.
"What are you doing?! Don't go to my house, grandma and the others are still there! Your family is here too! It's not convenient! Let's go back to the courtyard first! It's just the two of us... hurry up!" Qin Ruobai pinched her man's waist from behind to cheer him up.
So Li Xiangnan turned a corner, stood up and pedaled his bicycle so hard that it flew up into the air, and the wheels were smoking!
Enter the yard, lock the car, jog, and go home, all in one go.
The two of them brought their tacit understanding to the extreme.
The door is closed, the lock is pulled, and the bag is thrown away.
Qin Ruobai let Li Xiangnan know what the world-class level of disassembly gun competition is.
In a blink of an eye, Li Xiangnan's sniper rifle was completely shattered by Qin Ruobai.
But Li Xiangnan was not idle either, as his driving skills have always been superb.
An ordinary person would definitely shift gears and start in first gear, but he, since he was an experienced driver, started directly in second gear.
After entering the clutch in second gear, start accelerating and step on the accelerator hard.
When the speed exceeds 3,000 rpm, if you engage third gear at this time, the car body will sometimes shake noticeably.
Experienced drivers know that this is the result of the engine not being able to keep up with the torque. Don't be anxious, and be sure to step on the brakes appropriately at this time.
When the car speed stabilizes, you can look at the road conditions, adjust the headlights, and look at the road conditions on the side of the road. Be careful not to run over the weeds.
Then, if road conditions permit, you can step on the accelerator and continue to speed up.
When the second gear is upgraded to the third gear, and the third gear is upgraded to the fourth gear, the speed will be around a healthy 2,000 rpm.
You must not shift directly to fifth gear when in second gear. Not only will it damage the clutch, it will also cause gear knocking. The engine may not be able to withstand such a violent impact, resulting in overload fuel injection, which is not worth the loss.
But we have to admit that Li Xiangnan is indeed an experienced driver.
The gear shifting was smooth and without any sense of jerkiness, and Qin Ruobai, a family member, was brought home smoothly and silently.
Only those who borrow someone else's car will step on the accelerator and brakes hard without taking care of it at all.
Li Xiangnan has always taken good care of his car.
Not long after, Li Xiangnan started washing the car.
Qin Ruobai was also helping, wiping the table and somewhat complaining about her husband.
"Next time, don't do it on the table..."
