All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 455: Fierce Boss Protects Daughter Online (47)

The flavor of the canteen’s food was pretty good. Qiann Yan, not a picky person to begin with, was quite satisfied with the meal.

Xie Moohuai was clearly very interested in the insect repellent she formulated and talked a lot about it over the meal.

Qiann Yan didn’t shy away and briefly explained how she discovered the method was effective.

Xie Moohuai, being rather tactful, didn’t pry into the specifics of the formula.

When the conversation wound down, he even suggested, "Actually, I recommend you apply for a patent. That way you can protect your interests. The insect repellent formula is harmless and can be promoted, potentially replacing pesticides over time, leading to healthy and fresh produce that you can eat with your eyes closed."

There was admiration in Qiann Yan’s eyes; Xie Moohuai truly was someone with foresight.

Many people, upon hearing that her formula could repel insects, would think she was very ingenious to come up with such a method, or they would just want her formula.

But Xie Moohuai was different. He first reminded her to protect her own interests and then pointed out that the introduction of such a formula could potentially bring about significant changes to agricultural products.

In fact, when she was figuring out this method, Qiann Yan had already considered this idea.

Xie Moohuai, thinking that Qiann Yan didn’t understand, tried to carefully explain all the critical points to her.

"If someone takes a fancy to your formula, make sure not to sell it easily. You must keep the patent in your own hands. If it’s certain that you can’t control it yourself, then you can sell it, but make sure to sell it for a good price, ideally securing some shares for a future cut." Xie Moohuai rambled on for a long time, forgetting how he wasn’t usually this talkative.

In the end, he added, "If you can’t make up your mind, you can come to me. I’ll help you come up with an idea."

Just a few days ago, Xie Moohuai specifically inquired about Qiann Yan’s situation and learned about all that had happened in the past few months.

Knowing she got divorced, he didn’t have to be so cautious in their interactions now, not fearing gossip.

He always thought Jiang Lid wasn’t a match for her, and it turned out he wasn’t wrong. Such a diligent and smart woman could never be matched by Jiang Lid.

Xie Moohuai had no idea where his own bias was leaning.

In the eyes of countless teachers, the Immortal who seemed untainted by the mortal world’s smoke and dust had somehow gotten entangled in earthly matters.

Qiann Yan was considering it; selling the patent and taking shares sounded good.

Though she had the capability to handle it herself, her main purpose for coming here was to protect Jiang Jinghan and her daughter. Pursuing business ventures daily seemed to contradict that and would take up too much time.

In this world full of talents, entrusting the formula to capable hands wouldn’t yield worse results than if she did it herself; it seemed quite promising.

She would still have time to research more formulas related to planting and crops, and apply for patents continuously. Farming is her expertise now; it might be better to focus research in this area. Once she develops a systematic plan, she can bring it to Great Rong and hand it over to the Ministry of Agriculture for promotion.

Not bad!

"I wonder if Principal Xie knows anyone in this field? My formula is absolutely reliable. If there’s such a capable person, I’m willing to sell the formula under the terms you just mentioned."

Xie Moohuai didn’t expect Qiann Yan to make such a big decision so quickly, which took him by surprise.

She’s really open-minded, never once thinking about keeping such a valuable thing to herself.

With broader knowledge than most, he knew how impactful this formula would be for agriculture once it was popularized.
