Star Programmer 15
Tao Yuanfa's confession once again caused a huge reaction on the Internet. Because in the Southern Alliance Empire, people are taught from childhood that everyone should be independent, so most people sympathize with and understand him. They think that he has been forced to this extent and is no longer treated as a human being. It is understandable that he wants to control his own destiny and escape from those who control him and treat him as a reproductive machine.
However, some conservatives still insist that Tao Yuan has betrayed his country and family, has serious character flaws, and is unworthy of trust and reuse. This has sparked renewed debate on Star Online about whether Tao Yuan's actions were correct.
Being born into a family like this is truly tragic. They say they raised him with food and clothing, but in reality, they don't even treat him as a human being. Their sole purpose is profit. Is this any different from spending money to manufacture a product, then packaging it and selling it? Do such a family deserve to be called family and loved ones?
If it were me, I would make the same choice. Sacrificing one's own happiness for the sake of the family's marriage is just a nice way of saying it. He sacrificed his lifelong happiness for those who, despite their own incompetence, still wanted to maintain their empty pretense. But those people are short-sighted, believing that no matter how capable a female is, she can't revitalize a family. This is already the interstellar age, yet they still cling to the patriarchal ways of ancient times. No wonder the Southern Di nation is falling further and further behind.
No matter how advanced technology becomes, true progress in society can only be achieved if people's thinking evolves. Otherwise, what is the point of humanity pursuing equality and freedom? Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, while upholding morality and the law. If the fate of being born is to be a commodity, without the right to choose and control one's own life, then it would be better not to be born. However, being born is not something we can choose.
————But his parents gave birth to him and raised him, and without his parents spending money to cultivate him, he would not have the ability he has now. Since he has enjoyed the cultivation of his parents and family, then isn't it natural for him to repay his parents and family?
———— So, are love and freedom more important than family? It doesn't matter who you marry. When your family falls on hard times and needs you, you should sacrifice without hesitation. Betraying your parents and family is heartless, not to mention betraying your country. Such a person should be despised by everyone.
I'm truly astonished. I never imagined that in this interstellar age, there are still people with such profoundly archaic, feudalist ideas. The two of you above, living in an era of freedom and equality, born in a country protected by human rights laws, must be incredibly wronged, right? People with such noble character should be living in ancient times, living a life of parental decree and matchmaker agreement, marrying whoever your parents told you to, marrying whoever they told you to marry, and daring to defy them would be considered unfilial.
There are many ways to repay the kindness of a parent, but does sacrificing one's entire life and happiness count as repaying that kindness? If someone comes into this world to sacrifice, then that person is incredibly unfortunate and tragic, isn't that right?
Who doesn't want parents who truly love them, and a workplace where hard work is rewarded? Unless pushed to the limit, who would choose to abandon their family and country? Does the so-called desire to repay a debt really require unconditional tolerance and obedience? Then, over the past millennia, humanity's efforts to overturn outdated ideas and uphold and protect human rights have been completely meaningless.
Some people, unable to empathize with others' pain because they haven't experienced what they've gone through, take the moral high ground and criticize others. For those who say we should unconditionally obey our families and parents to repay their kindness, I hope they can live up to their words. While you may demand this of yourselves, you have no right to demand it of others.
————A family that needs to rely on marriage to support it means that there is no one who can support the family. Moreover, the only person who can bring glory to the family has been sacrificed, which shows how foolish and ignorant his parents are. Is there any need to save such a family?
Segri looked through the comments on the Internet. He thought that most people would scold Tao Yuan, but he did not expect that after Tao Yuan published his confession, so many people would speak out to defend him.
Segri slammed the table hard to vent his dissatisfaction, then he went through the Star Network again, clicked on the Nandi Country's Star Network and read the comments.
The people of Nandi were also extremely shocked after learning about this incident. Although some condemned the original owner's parents for forcing the original owner away, most of them accused Tao Yuan of not serving other countries. There were far more people in Nandi who scolded Tao Yuan than those who understood him, because the position of the people of Nandi was different from that of the people of the Southern Alliance Empire.
After reading the comments criticizing Tao Yuan, Segri felt a little better, but it still didn't completely quench his anger. Tao Yuan had already defected from the Southern Di Kingdom and come to the Southern Alliance Empire to work. The opinions and comments of the Southern Di people had no effect on him at all, while the people of the Southern Alliance Empire, who could influence him, mostly sided with him. This really made him furious.
Two days later, the military and officials jointly issued a public statement about Tao Yuan.
In the statement, the military first explained the importance of talent to the development of the empire, and even to the development of all of humanity and the universe. Then, they revealed a shocking fact: Tao Yuan was not the only talent from other countries serving the Southern Alliance Empire.
The Southern Alliance Empire has been secretly accepting talents from other countries for more than ten years. Those people all have outstanding abilities, but they are forced to be unable to live a stable life in their own country because of the interest struggles among the top leaders of their own country.
The Southern Alliance Empire accepted these people and assigned them to various important positions. Some of them even came with their families to join the Southern Alliance Empire. The Southern Alliance Empire kept their identities secret and protected their families. They made many contributions to the Southern Alliance Empire, but their true identities were never revealed.
Finally, the military and officials directly stated in the statement that in the future, if talents from other countries want to come to seek refuge, they will be given asylum and will not discriminate based on nationality. As long as they are capable and make contributions, they can join the citizenship of the SAARC Empire and receive the same treatment as their own people.
After reading the statement, Segri was completely stunned. He had never known that the Southern Alliance Empire had been accepting talent from other countries for over a decade. He thought that by revealing Tao Yuan's true identity, he would definitely be able to deal a blow to him, but after reading the statement, he realized that what he had done was a foolish waste of effort.
A strong sense of fear suddenly arose in Segri's heart. He suddenly realized how stupid a thing he had done, and he also had a premonition that he would probably pay a huge price for this matter.
The automatic door suddenly opened, and Segri was startled. He looked up suddenly and saw Mai Wei and a dozen soldiers standing outside the door, looking at him expressionlessly and with cold eyes.
Segli had been in the department for two or three years, and this was the first time Maiwei had come to him on his own initiative. But Segli felt no joy or excitement at all, only a growing fear. He hadn't expected this to happen when Maiwei first approached him.
"Come with us." Mai Wei looked at him coldly and said.
Segri's legs were weak and he couldn't stand up. He could only stare at Maiwei blankly.
"If you don't want to leave on your own, I'll let them do it. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for not giving you face." Mai Wei said with a cold face.
Seglie stood up, his hands on the table. Although his legs were shaking, he tried to remain calm. He consoled himself that even if Maiwei took him away, they wouldn't do anything to him. His parents and brother would definitely find a way to help him. The most he could do was be demoted. It wouldn't be a big deal.
Seglie stepped out and was taken away by Mai Wei and his troops under the gaze of everyone in the Programming Department. Everyone in the Programming Department was discussing the reason for Seglie's arrest. They felt that he must have committed a serious crime, otherwise why would he be taken away by Mai Wei himself, and with such a grand ceremony?
Tao Yuan was sitting on the sofa in Mai Wei's father's office, waiting for Mai Wei and the others to bring Segri over.
After the automatic door opened, it was not Mai Wei and the others who came in, but Fitch.
Fitch was stunned for a moment when he saw Tao Yuan, then walked to Marshal Fred's desk and saluted him.
"Please sit down." Marshal Fred nodded and said.
Fitch walked over to the single sofa to Tao Yuan's left and sat down, keeping a distance from him. Ever since being warned by Mai Wei on the border planet, Fitch had not appeared in front of Tao Yuan on his own initiative or intentionally, and he also refrained from secretly observing him.
Because after careful consideration, he felt that everything was just wishful thinking on his part and destined to be fruitless. So the so-called process, whether it existed or not, was simply for the sake of something. If he really offended Mai Wei completely for a relationship that was destined to have no result, who knew if he would regret it even more in the future?
Not long after, Maiwei came in with Segri.
When Fitch saw Segiri behind Maiwei, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked at him with wide eyes.
When Segri saw Fitch, he seemed to have seen his savior. He looked like he was about to cry and shouted "Brother..."
"You..." Fitch vaguely guessed why Segri was brought here, but he was unwilling to believe that it was really what he thought.
"Are you all here? Then sit down, don't stand." Marshal Fred said to them.
Fitch pulled Segri and sat down on the sofa facing Marshal Fred, and Maiwei walked over to Tao Yuan and sat down next to him.
"Segri?" Marshal Fred called out.
"Yes, Marshal." Segri's face was pale and ugly, and he looked very nervous.
"It's your business that Yi Yu is from Nandi country. Did you specifically let someone leak it?" Marshal Fred's tone and expression were quite gentle. He has always been a man who is intimidating without getting angry and who never reveals his emotions.
“…” Segri swallowed and didn’t dare to answer.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Fitch lowered his voice and said angrily, "Hurry up and explain everything to the Marshal! Say everything you need to say!"
"Yes, I asked someone to do it." Segri said in a low voice.
"Why are you doing this?" Marshal Fred asked.
"Because, because I'm jealous of him."
"Are you jealous that he's more gifted and talented than you?"
"Yes," Segiri admitted.
"Segri, you often came to my house when you were a child. I remember that you were not like this before." Marshal Fred asked like an elder at this moment, not as a leader.
"I..." Segri looked up at Mai Wei and Tao Yuan, then looked at Marshal Fred with grievance and said, "I'm not only jealous of Yi Yu's ability, but I'm even more jealous that Brother Mai Wei likes him, so I did it without considering the consequences."
"Oh?" Marshal Fred looked at Mai Wei and asked, "Is that so?"
"Yes!" Mai Wei admitted without hesitation.
