Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 149: A Scuffle With The Haters, Lend Me Your Computer Please

Zhu Yuan was filling out an application form when he received a call from Tang Qingqiu.

Usually, he would not even bother with answering the phone. However, due to Tang Qingqiu’s persistence, he simply had no choice but to give in to him. It was at this moment that he understood why Gu Xiqiao put certain individuals in her blacklist. If this continued any longer, he would not think twice before blacklisting people like Tang Qingqiu.

“Don’t you want to patent your cell fusion process? I’m gonna be your investor! Just tell me how much you need!” Tang Qingqiu sounded genuine about this.

Zhu Yuan flipped through the papers to confirm its terms. “I gotta say, your proposal is really tempting but this decision is not mine to make. Unfortunately, I am not the owner of this patent nor am I responsible for discovering this process. You should find her if you want to go through with this plan of yours.”

“What? You’re saying that this isn’t your creation?” Tang Qingqiu was shocked. “Then who is she?”

“Didn’t I tell you before? She’s a prodigy student from A University.” Zhu Yuan gritted his teeth upon telling him this.

“Then what should I do now?” Tang Qingqiu’s voice sounded despondent over the phone. He thought that he could use his connection with Zhu Yuan as a leverage for his plan.

Zhu Yuan booted up his computer. “I’m gonna send her number to you. You should talk to her directly about this. Though, I highly doubt that she would accept it so easily. There will be a huge competition between investors should this patent be approved, and that includes international organizations so I wish you good luck.”

He was about to hang up the call.

“Wait!” yelled Tang Qingqiu. “There’s something else!”

“Cut to the chase!”

“… I heard your master’s coming back?” Tang Qingqiu thought back to the thread he read last night; it seemed pretty legit to him.

“My master?” Zhu Yuan raised his brow. “Relax, he won’t be after your asses for now. They’re still holding onto him there and it’ll be at least one month before he returns.”

He had no idea what his master was going through nor why he kept demanding to return but because his research was still incomplete, there was no way they would let him back so early.

Tang Qingqiu hung up upon receiving answers to his questions. It was after he had confirmed the time with Nine Heavens that he received a string of numbers from Zhu Yuan.

This number… seemed familiar.

Tang Qingqiu thought about his approach before deciding to use the Tang Enterprise as a big fat bait to lure the other party into his deal. Then, he finally tapped on the line of numbers.

“Hello?” A cold and distant voice sounded from the earpiece.

Gu Xiqiao’s voice was so distinct that Tang Qingqiu recognized who it was in a split second. With a stiff voice, he replied, “I’m sorry, I’ve dialed the wrong number.”

“…”

Face devoid of emotions, Gu Xiqiao hung up the phone.

“What’s up?” asked Jiang Shuxuan.

“Nothing, it’s just a wrong call,” replied Gu Xiqiao as she rubbed her nose.

Tang Qingqiu proceeded to spam Zhu Yuan’s phone with calls, one after the other. Zhu Yuan was so infuriated that he wanted to mail a bottle of sulfuric acid over to that bastard immediately! “Big brother, what the hell do you think you’re doing?!”
