Chapter 140: Arrogant I didn't expect Shen Qingzhu to say such a thing. ...
The agreements with the "Expeditionary Force" and the Ji family are not trivial matters.
On the way to the private starship, Yan Xiao only had time to confirm his most basic bottom line and demands with Shen Qingzhu, during which Ji Mingxue also added a few words from time to time.
Afterwards, Yan Xiao will need to refine the two agreements with the team, and only after everything is fully prepared can he represent Shen Qingzhu to negotiate with both parties.
Yan Xiao: "Should we keep the matter of the 'Expeditionary Force' a secret from Mia?"
Since Shen Qingzhu's current assets are all managed by Mia, Yan Xiao often needs to communicate with Mia when it comes to business negotiations.
This time Shen Qingzhu wants to license out the formula of the new inhibitor, and there will definitely be some changes in the assets, so at least the agreement with the Ji family cannot be hidden from Mia.
But matters concerning the "Expeditionary Force" are somewhat sensitive.
Mia was born into the Lawrence family, one of the ten great families in the empire.
Although Mia has been working diligently to manage Shen Qingzhu's assets and has never done anything to harm Shen Qingzhu's interests, Yan Xiao still gave Shen Qingzhu a tactful reminder for the sake of caution.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu immediately thought of Ji Mingxue's identity as the crown prince, and quickly nodded to Yan Xiao, "There's no need to disturb Mia about the 'Expeditionary Force'. Let the senior take full responsibility."
…
After the three arrived at Ji Mingxue's private starship, Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue did not leave immediately, but planned to stay on the starship for one night before leaving. After all, it was already very late.
Before letting the robot take Yan Xiao to rest, Ji Mingxue sent a video to Yan Xiao, reminding him to remember to watch it.
Knowing that Ji Mingxue would not do anything without a purpose, after arriving at the rest cabin, Yan Xiao immediately sat on the sofa and clicked on the video sent by Ji Mingxue.
The next moment, the figures of the Yan family's patriarch and Yan Xiao's father appeared on the projection screen.
Judging from the perspective, this video should have been captured from Yan’s family’s security surveillance system.
Just after analyzing all this in his mind, Yan Xiao saw the head of the Yan family in the video saying, "Although Yan Xiao has differentiated into an Omega, his gene level is only B. He looks like a Beta, and is very hard. He is not as beautiful and lovable as other Omegas. So don't even think about becoming Mrs. Sun of the Chu family."
Yan Xiao's father agreed, "You are right, Yan Xiao is indeed not doing well."
The Yan family patriarch smiled and changed the subject, "But that child is not without merit."
"Alphas are used to eating big fish and meat, so they are bound to get bored. Occasionally, they will be interested in light porridge and side dishes."
Yan Xiao's father: "...what do you mean?"
The head of the Yan family said: "Although he cannot be Chu Yan's wife, he is still qualified to be Chu Yan's lover."
Yan Xiao's father: "...Yan Xiao has a bit of a stubborn personality."
The head of the Yan family glanced at him with a smile, "Why, you can't bear to part with it?"
Yan Xiao's father quickly shook his head, "How could that be? He is an Omega, and it would be a blessing for him to marry into the Chu family!"
"I'm just worried that if something happens to him, he might offend the Chu family."
The head of the Yan family smiled and said, "Don't worry about that."
"The Chu family will hold a Lantern Festival banquet on the 15th. When the time comes, you can choose the right time to give Yan Xiao some inducer and then lure Chu Yan over."
"Once they enter the estrus period, Omegas will just let others do whatever they want."
"If Yan Xiao can work harder and take the opportunity to get pregnant, the Chu family will not treat him unfairly for the sake of the child."
Yan Xiao's father hesitated and asked, "But will this offend Chu Yan?"
The head of the Yan family glanced at him and said, "What offense? Did someone force him to mark Yan Xiao?"
Yan Xiao's father: "...What if he doesn't mark Yan Xiao by then?"
The head of the Yan family: "Nothing will happen."
"There is no Alpha in this world who doesn't take advantage of Omegas."
"Yan Xiao has come to our doorstep. Even if Chu Yan dislikes his low genetic level, he will not allow an estrus Omega to run around in the Chu family."
"Besides, since Chu Yan took the initiative to choose Yan Xiao today and spent so much time alone with Yan Xiao, it shows that he is not completely uninterested in Yan Xiao."
"If you do this, then ..."
…
Shen Qingzhu actually knew what Ji Mingxue sent to Senior Yan Xiao.
That was a conversation between the head of the Yan family and Yan Xiao's father in the study room after the Yan family returned from the banquet tonight.
At that time, Mingfeng had taken over the Yan family's surveillance system, so Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue saw the live broadcast directly.
Although it was not the first time he had seen such a thing, Shen Qingzhu was still amazed at their shamelessness. He was also a little glad that he and Ji Mingxue did not wait until the fifteenth day to find Senior Yan.
Otherwise, there are still more than ten days left, and who knows whether the Yan family will change their minds at the last minute and do something disgusting again.
Even Shen Qingzhu felt disgusted and angry when he saw this, so Senior Yan must have felt even worse.
This reminded Shen Qingzhu of many Omega patients who had had the same experience, and his heart felt extremely heavy for a moment.
But Ji Mingxue had already fallen asleep, and Shen Qingzhu didn't want to disturb him, so he left the rest cabin and prepared to go to the observation hall of the starship to have a drink.
What surprised Shen Qingzhu a little was that there was another person here - Yan Xiao, who was also not sleepy.
Shen Qingzhu brewed a pot of Archangel Rose, which has a calming effect, at the bar, took it to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the observation hall, and poured a glass for Yan Xiao.
There will be snow in Cuihai City tonight.
The heavy snow fell all over the sky, and in an instant the whole world was decorated with endless silver-white.
Shen Qingzhu sat quietly on the sofa in front of the window, drinking scented tea and looking at the heavy snow outside the window, without saying a word.
In the end, it was Yan Xiao who took the initiative to break the silence.
He asked Shen Qingzhu, "Brother Shen, why do you study Omega inhibitors?"
Ji Mingxue had also asked Shen Qingzhu this question.
At that time, because the two had just met, Shen Qingzhu really couldn't tell the other party that he had also been an Omega and knew too well the difficulties faced by Omegas, so he embarked on this path. He only said that he was very interested in it because he once thought that he would differentiate into an Omega.
But Shen Qingzhu knew that this was not what Senior Yan wanted to hear.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingzhu told the truth.
He said, "Because I saw the injustice of the world towards Omegas."
"I hate that."
“So I decided to change it.”
He said this lightly, but the meaning implied was extremely arrogant.
Even Yan Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the gentle Shen Qingzhu would say such a thing.
But then, Yan Xiao remembered what this person had done since he met Shen Qingzhu -
Whether it was his decisive refusal of the wealth that was within his reach at the "Lu Ming Banquet", or his subsequent stay at the Institute of Information Research to concentrate on research, or his sudden announcement of his relationship with Ji Mingxue, until he really developed a new type of Omega inhibitor.
Ever since Shen Qingzhu suddenly appeared, every step he took was beyond everyone's expectations.
This person was never like what some people on the Star Internet said, that he did not seize the olive branches that could have allowed him to rise to the top overnight because of his humble background and narrow vision.
On the contrary.
Shen Qingzhu is very clear about his goal and what he is doing.
The most important thing is that he has excellent qualifications and execution to match it.
Such a person, no matter how gentle, refined and harmless he appears to be, must be extremely strong and proud inside.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Shen Qingzhu would say such a thing.
After thinking this through, Yan Xiao's gaze towards Shen Qingzhu changed.
He couldn't help but ask Shen Qingzhu again, "Do you think, Junior Shen, that as long as there is a new Omega inhibitor, the situation of the world and Omegas will change?"
This question is actually a bit sharp.
Shen Qingzhu didn't care, she just smiled and said, "I'm not that naive."
"The reason why Omegas are in such a situation today is the result of more than a thousand years of gradual erosion and domestication by the A-rights society."
"I certainly don't think that as long as Omega no longer needs the comfort of Alph's secretion, it can be completely freed from this predicament."
“That’s not something I can do alone.”
"But at the very least, I can make the Omega's body no longer dependent on the Alpha, and have absolute control over his own body."
At this point, seeing Senior Yan Xiao's expression slightly changed, Shen Qingzhu paused and said softly:
"In fact, you should know that the current situation of Empire Omega is the result of many people's hard work."
"If it weren't for the O rights movement three hundred years ago, 'ABO equality' might not have been written into the Imperial Constitution until now."
"There have always been many people who have done their best to fight for the rights of Omega."
"For example, Mr. Yisan has devoted his life to studying Omega secretion, and Dean Ji Yu has established the Omega Rescue Foundation to help countless Omegas."
"And you, Senior Yan Xiao."
"If you hadn't been helping so many Omegas fight lawsuits and making those who hid behind the Starnet and spoke out pay the price, there wouldn't be as many Omegas who dared to speak out openly on the Starnet as there are now."
Yan Xiao pushed his glasses and said uncomfortably, "I just followed your request and did what I was supposed to do."
Shen Qingzhu did not argue with him, but continued with a smile, "I just want to say that I was not the only one who changed all this."
"I can't do this alone."
After all, the empire is so big and the population is so large.
It is impossible to change the mindsets of so many people overnight.
There are still many things to consider and do.
This requires more and more people like Teacher Ethan and Mr. Ji Yu to join in and work hard for it.
Shen Qingzhu is already on the way.
Because he knows very well that "if you want to change your life, you can only rely on yourself."
Similarly, if you want to change the world, you must do it yourself.
…
After that, Yan Xiao chatted with Shen Qingzhu for a long time.
The two did not end this casual conversation until the snow outside the window stopped and the sky turned pale.
On the way back to the rest cabin, Yan Xiao was still thinking about what Shen Qingzhu had said before.
At that time, Yan Xiao had questioned the huge loopholes and flaws in the imperial laws regarding the civil liberties of Omegas based on what had happened to him in the Yan family.
Shen Qingzhu said gently, "Then you can try to change it."
Yan Xiao wanted to say on the spot, how could this matter be so simple?
If someone else had said this, Yan Xiao would probably have sneered at that person for being too ignorant and naive.
But this person is Shen Qingzhu.
It was Shen Qingzhu who invented a new type of Omega inhibitor at the age of 18 and really brought some changes to the world.
At that moment, Yan Xiao suddenly had a doubt about himself——
Even Shen Qingzhu, who is five years younger than him, has the determination and courage to change the world.
Can he just wait for others to rescue him?
No.
Of course not.
Whether it is Beta or Omega, Yan Xiao never needs anyone to save him!
An exciting and powerful force gradually surged in his heart.
Although he had stayed up all night, Yan Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was full of energy. He planned to sort out his thoughts after returning to his room.
However, as soon as he turned into the corridor leading to the rest cabin, he immediately saw a beautiful woman with snow-white hair and golden eyes, leaning against the wall with her arms folded, looking at him meaningfully.
Yan Xiao: ...
His steps suddenly stopped, and Yan Xiao suddenly realized that he and Shen Qingzhu, one O and one A, had been alone together outside in the middle of the night for a long time!
Although nothing happened between them, they were just having serious discussions on many issues.
But when he ran into Ji Mingxue who was obviously waiting for him here, Yan Xiao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.
It’s true. I was really worried about Junior Brother Shen.
