Housekeeper Eugene got up in the morning and drove his Citroën to a nearby city's patent office to register the brand patents for "Prince" perfume and "Viscount" red wine.
This was merely the brand, as for the secret recipes, they were not yet protected by patents, but would also have to be registered at the patent office eventually.
By the time Housekeeper Eugene returned to the castle, it was already past two in the afternoon.
It had stopped raining outside by now, but the weather was gloomy, with not a hint of sunlight.
Ye Qiu came out from the castle, rode Alizarin around the manor, and by the time he returned, Housekeeper Eugene handed him the two registered patent certificates.
However, Ye Qiu didn't plan to take them back, he left them there for Housekeeper Eugene to keep.
"I'll head to Paris tomorrow morning, and then return home the day after!"
Ye Qiu said to Housekeeper Eugene.
"So soon?"
"I might be able to come back and check next month."
