That night, a post on the entertainment section of the Empire Forum was pushed to the top of the list.
The topics of the entertainment section basically change every two or three days. It is an honor to keep up with current affairs and a shame to be too slow. In the past two days, netizens in the entertainment section have been talking about the gossip about a few 18th-tier celebrity O going in and out of hotels. However, this post squeezed out the hot posts that had just reached 1,000 or 2,000 floors and occupied the headlines of the front page.
The title of the post only had one line of words: I saw the feelings that I respect...
Clicking on the post directly takes you to a video, and the original poster added a short paragraph.
#1L 小懂很懂 (original poster): Today, there are finally a pair of hands that wiped off the medal that has been covered with dust for years. I was lucky enough to see it, and my eyes were filled with tears. May the flowers of the california flowers be forever on your chests, may the glory last forever, and may the blood never cool down.
Generally, the original posters who post with real evidence in the entertainment section are accustomed to remain anonymous, so as to avoid being exposed by others through their IDs. However, the original poster of this post directly posted it with a large account, and it seems that he does not mind others exposing him at all, but just wants to post this video.
Driven by curiosity, netizens who were eating melon seeds and discussing whether the private life of celebrity O was decent put down the gossip news at hand and clicked on the video.
The angle of this video is not very professional, and the whispers of different people can be heard when the camera shakes.
Even though the camera was shaking a bit, one could still see at a glance the young major general in military uniform standing under the lights, and the pot of pale golden cali flowers in his hand.
Before anyone could marvel at how well the two cali flowers matched the major general's status, the young officer had already raised his hand, picked one without hesitation, turned around and pinned it on the chest of the man standing behind him.
His action of picking the flower was crisp and quick, and his action of pinning the flower was careful and gentle. He pinned the cali flower on the man's chest, but his hand did not move away, as if he said something, but it was impossible to tell.
The man in a suit had a handsome face, opened his mouth, but could not say a word.
Surrounded by people wearing various luxurious formal clothes, behind the huge transparent wall, the stars were flowing. The universe was silent, the crowd was whispering, they looked at each other under the bright lights, and even the applause that followed seemed to be inaudible.
Lu Zhao put a light golden Kali on Bai Li.
After posting this video and a paragraph, the host did not say anything else.
A few minutes later, countless comments were sent from different personal terminals in all corners of the empire and its affiliated planets.
#2LChiZiBerry:?
#3LThe Simulated Battle is Really Hard to Play: What the hell?
#4LThree-Year-Old Sick E-sports: Is it Major General Lu Zhao and Bai Li?
#5LUser 0088566: Is this the fucking Emerald Star? I've been on it once before!
#6LBloodless Knife: What's going on? These two are not as emotionless as some media say, right?
#7L Xiaozhier: I am a port staff member. The Emerald Star has been booked by Tang's tonight. This should be Tang's dinner!
#8L San Su Bian Zao: Crazy, do you know how much a pale golden Kali flower is worth?
#9L Three Dots and One Stroke: I am confused...
...
In just five or six minutes, the posts have been posted for more than a hundred floors. Since Lu Zhao and Bai Li got married, this should be the first time they have attended a noble banquet. The outside world has been talking about this marriage, but when everyone saw this video and saw the Kali flower that Lu Zhao held between his fingertips and pinned on Bai Li's chest, the rumors seemed particularly thin.
Soon someone recognized the identity of the thin man standing next to the two people, and Zhou Yue's name was mentioned in the post.
#188L胖胖漂移: Oh my god, isn’t this Zhou Yue…Isn’t there anyone who doesn’t know the Zhou family’s greenhouse? The califlowers produced there are not even as good as those in the royal greenhouse. This pale golden flower must have been grown by the Zhou family.
#189L芝芝梅梅: I just remembered what someone above said. At that time, the riot in the legion was a big deal. Didn’t the news published by the Imperial Citizen Network later mention that it was caused by a new soldier named Zhou who suddenly split up? Both surnamed Zhou?
#190L大头大头: It’s the same Zhou.
#191L三孲带病電諶: Above? I remember that you said you were a new soldier in the First Legion before, right? So the one who caused the riot was really that split new soldier, and he was from the Zhou family? Did Zhou Yue send the califlower to say thank you?
#192L风过境: What the hell…
#193L叽叽吃小鸡: I said Lu Zhao was fine for all these years, why did it make such a big fuss that time, damn!
#194L大头大头: The new recruit who split was Zhou Yue’s younger brother. I was telling the truth at the time, did any of you believe it? You only read the news that has been truncated, whatever is exciting to watch, not the facts.
#195L芝芝梅梅: 呜呜呜呜呜, I knew that Major General Lu Zhao was the best!
#196L用户900987: Damn, it turns out that only the report of the Empire Citizen Network was correct at that time? I am convinced, I am convinced, can the media stop guiding public opinion? Is it fun to use us as guns?
#197L User 9988566: Thanks to Lu Zhao's high military rank, he was not affected. If it was a junior officer, he would have retired from the military.
#198L Three dots and one stroke: This doesn't prove anything. Besides, Lu Zhao didn't lose anything.
#199L Chushao: Are you just arguing? The First Legion later clarified that it had nothing to do with Lu Zhao. Did anyone believe it? A bunch of stupid alphas took the opportunity to mock omegas for holding important positions in the legion. You choose to forget it? Rumors don't count as harm, right?
#200L Big Brother, wait for me: Damn, I feel a little uncomfortable, everyone... I even mocked them at that time, but it turns out that it has nothing to do with them at all...
#201L Pig Head: Can the real video be trusted? Don't let it be some kind of bluff, just to whitewash yourself...
#202L Ship One: Impossible, look upstairs and see what kind of occasion this is. Look carefully at who is in the back. I'll be frank. I was resting at home today because of the estrus period and couldn't attend the dinner, but I know everything about the dinner. The "Double Wood" people will be attending this dinner, you know, right?
#203L User 9120830: Zhou Yue is really cruel. He chose this occasion to thank Lu Zhao. He slapped so many people in the face...
The military riot that had been put to rest was brought up again because of Zhou Yue's pot of califlower, sparking controversy again. Some people said that public opinion had blinded the eyes of the citizens, some people began to delete their insulting posts, and some people believed that even if Lu Zhao had nothing to do with the incident, it did not change that omegas were not suitable for important positions.
People gradually developed their own opinions in the debate until someone brought the topic back to the video itself.
#788L大道无情: I want to know what Lu Zhao meant by this action? I believe no one knows better than him what the Kali flower symbolizes, but he picked the flower and gave it to Bai Li.
#789L User 76897098: 1. What does Major General Lu mean?
#790L清风撫柳: And the people around are applauding...
#791L东来一片雨: Huh? No one knows that Bai Li was a major general before?
#792L芝芝梅梅: I know, but it seems that there has been no positive report... To be honest, if he hadn't married Major General Lu Zhao, I wouldn't have remembered that he used to be in the first-line army...
#793L硬核打碟: Also, the host mentioned "dusted medal" and so on, don't you think it looks very cool?
#794L User 12837908: Does anyone know about Baili!!!
#795L Three-year-old E-sports: Does anyone know about Baili!!!
#796L Dumplings are really delicious: Does anyone know about Baili!!!
…
More than an hour after the post was published, it had been forwarded countless times on the personal terminals of the citizens of the Empire, and the speed of its spread was so fast that it was unimaginable. Soon
, the hot searches such as "The meaning of Lu Zhao giving Baili the Kali flower" and "Bai Li", "Major General Bai", "Bai Li's personal achievements" overwhelmed the gossip and public opinion wars.
When people began to search spontaneously, they realized that the news reports in recent years had only revolved around Bai Li's noble identity. Once a topic of conversation, it resurfaced after many years, but it seemed like dust that blocked people's vision and made people eager to dispel it so that they could see the dust itself.
A few hours later, a newly registered forum account with the ID "Give My Former Boss a Push" posted a post.
The post was not long, and it posted some personal merit records that were posted on military websites, and attached some old news from the Imperial Citizens Society.
The news reported a tragedy many years ago in which interstellar pirates hijacked a tourist boat and eventually detonated it, as well as some follow-up reports, but in the end it was only hastily concluded and did not seem to be fully reported.
Apart from these contents, the host did not have any extra explanations. Only the title of the post was slightly thought-provoking. He selected a sentence from the original poster of the video: Today, a pair of hands finally wiped away the medal that had been covered in dust for years.
The Emerald Star orbiting the main star was still brightly lit.
Bai Li walked out of the bathroom. He had just washed his face to get his incapable brain working again.
Most of the guests had dispersed, leaving only a small number still talking to Lu Zhao. Jiang Hao, Situ and others didn't know where they had gone, and now only Lu Zhao was left to deal with the situation.
Bai Li stood in the distance, and Lu Zhao was talking to Zhou Yue with his back to him. Lu Zhao stood very straight, and Bai Li couldn't take his eyes off his back.
He subconsciously stopped and touched the light golden carnation on his chest.
"My brother is still in the recovery period," Zhou Yue said calmly, "Although he has differentiated into an omega, I will still support him to participate in the next military selection. However, due to his bad record of concealing his age, he may not be able to join the First Army in the short term, and can only start from the non-first-line army to accept the training."
Lu Zhao nodded and said casually, "Very good."
He himself climbed up from the bottom, steadily and steadily, and therefore, when he was promoted to major general, no one could find any faults except for his gender.
Mr. Gao's face has always been not very good. Although the pot of light golden caryophylle has been taken away by the robot for safekeeping, the scene of Lu Zhao picking the flowers easily flashed in front of his eyes.
That action was extremely casual. Yes, Lu Zhao is not as old as Gao Ye, but he has already won three golden Kali. These honors are glorious, but they are just to add a touch of brilliance to the row of medals on Lu Zhao's chest.
How many people can't even get this glimmer of light...Mr. Gao remembered that Gao Ye had been in the military for several years, but he didn't even get the edge of the golden Kali.
Not everyone can get the Alpha, and now even the Omega has to join the competition.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm going to say something that may not please you, but it's true," Mr. Gao took another glass of champagne and interrupted the conversation between Zhou Yue and Lu Zhao. "Instead of letting your brother hang out with a bunch of alphas, you might as well start finding a suitable partner for him early and let him learn some etiquette."
Zhou Yue frowned, with a hint of impatience on his thin face: "Thank you, but I really don't like what you said."
"..." Mr. Gao was stunned, not expecting this man to be so arrogant.
Lin Sheng had just left, and Tang Xiao and his wife were still there, so they had to smooth things over: "Mr. Gao speaks directly, please don't mind."
Tang Xiao cleared his throat: "But Mr. Gao's suggestion is not unreasonable. Different genders have different divisions of labor. We alphas and betas work outside, and omegas take care of the house. Hasn't it been like this for hundreds of years? It won't go wrong if we follow the rules of our ancestors. Right?"
Mrs. Tang, who was distracted, was patted on the shoulder by her husband. She took half a second to react before she said "hmm" softly.
Several nobles and wealthy businessmen around also echoed a few words, but no one dared to be too blunt. Everyone glanced at Lu Zhao from time to time. After all, there was such a unique omega major general standing here.
"The ancestor is almost dead," Zhou Yue said in a deep voice, his eyes piercing Mr. Gao, "How can the rules of the dead affect the living?"
A few years ago, the Zhou family suffered a misfortune. The old patriarch suddenly fell ill. Zhou Yue, who was frail and had a very low level of mental strength, had to take on the responsibility of the family. Because of this, the Zhou family had a rough time and had always been very low-key.
I didn't expect that such a low-level alpha with a mediocre body would not give people any face when he opened his mouth.
Lu Zhao felt it was quite interesting. He watched Mr. Gao's face turn from red to black, and the people around him wanted to refute but couldn't open their mouths. He felt that his trip to the banquet was not in vain.
"You are what you were born into," Mr. Gao felt that the wine in his stomach had turned into anger that went straight to his head, "Omega allowed himself to hang out with alpha..."
Halfway through his words, Mr. Gao suddenly stopped talking and looked at Lu Zhao.
Alcohol got in his head and Mr. Gao couldn't control his mouth, and almost blurted out all the bad words in his heart.
There were many guests at this banquet, and it wasn't just A and B who heard this. Several omega young masters and young ladies from noble families had already looked unhappy, but they didn't know how to start talking.
"Mr. Zhou Yue," Lu Zhao, who had been silent all this time, straightened his cuffs and said lightly, "In fact, as long as they are trained properly, omegas' fists can be quite hard."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and no one reacted.
Lu Zhao said again: "Tell Zhou Linshan that I can teach him."
Lu Zhao did not think much about this, but when it reached other people's ears, the meaning behind his words was quite intriguing.
Lu Zhao himself is an omega, but he never seems to care. First, he does not care about the opinions of the outside world, and second, he does not seem to regard himself as an omega at all. He has never even expressed his opinion on any topic such as "Should omegas step into the military?"
Today, with just a few words, it seems that he expressed his position to everyone.
After a brief moment of shock, Zhou Yue smiled: "Thank you very much, Major General Lu Zhao. If my brother knew you said that, he would be so excited that he would suffer from insomnia."
An omega noble lady suddenly spoke up: "People who differentiate too late will go through a long recovery period. My family has done some research in this area and has corresponding recovery products. I can give them to your brother to see if they can help."
Zhou Yue was a little surprised: "Thank you."
"Don't be angry," the noble lady nodded very gracefully, "I like to see omegas in military uniforms. The more people like Major General Lu Zhao there are, the more feasts I can feast my eyes on."
Several people around laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Mr. Gao's alcohol was rising to his head. He had not been doing well since his son Gao Ye was beaten. He originally thought that he could establish a relationship with Lin Sheng through the banquet, but he did not expect that after Lu Zhao and Bai Li had such a fuss, Lin Sheng turned around and left without giving him time to talk. After being pulled twice,
Mr. Gao turned around and saw his son Gao Ye winking at him. He did not want to stay here any longer.
Mr. Gao put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a cold face: "I saw an acquaintance, so I went to say hello first. I wish you all a good time tonight." He paused, suddenly smiled, and looked at Lu Zhao, "I also wish Major General Lu and Mr. Bai good health and a son soon."
The last four words were spoken clearly.
Lu Zhao's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he turned around to look at Mr. Gao's face for the first time tonight.
His eyes were cold and fierce, bringing a strong sense of oppression, and Mr. Gao swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
Lu Zhao's lips moved, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bai Li's voice from behind him: "Hey, I suddenly found that Mr. Gao's head looks quite similar to Gao Ye's!"
Looking back, Master Bai was walking towards him with his hair lifted, and the light golden Kali flower on his chest was in full bloom.
He walked over and hugged Lu Zhao as if no one was around.
The chocolate smell was very faint, but Lu Zhao still accurately distinguished it from the mixed smells. Bai Li hugged a little tightly, not caring whether the light golden Kali flower on his chest, which symbolized glory, would be deformed by the pressure.
Bai Li whispered in Lu Zhao's ear: "It's okay, I'll help you vent your anger."
Lu Zhao didn't know what was going on in his heart. The anger that had just been ignited by the Gao family was extinguished in an instant.
He felt Bai Li let go of him and said, "Mr. Gao, your head looks just as suitable for being beaten as your son's!"
Si Dong huddled in a small corner of the corridor, muting the personal terminal in his hand, otherwise it would have sounded like a ringing sound.
The web page projected on the virtual screen in the air was a post in the entertainment section of the Empire Forum. He opened his big account "Xiao Budong Hendong" to browse the replies in his post.
In just a few hours, his post had already built up a thousand-story building.
After closing his own post, Si Dong clicked on another post that was also pushed to the top at the moment. The poster's ID was "Give my former boss a push".
As he was flipping through the comments one by one, he heard someone walking towards him while talking.
Si Dong didn't even raise his head, but heard a familiar male voice saying, "Why are you crying? This is the first day you knew that Lu Zhao couldn't give birth?"
A thunderbolt exploded in his heart, and Si Dong almost held his breath immediately, squatted down slowly, and shrank into the shadow of the corner, and the half-man-high flowerpot plants used for decoration covered him tightly.
Tang Xiao pulled his tie impatiently, looked around, and saw that no one was around, then he said, "If I hadn't pulled you away, you would have cried like this right on the spot because of the Gao family's words 'Have a son soon', would the dinner have continued?"
Mrs. Tang covered her eyes, tears kept flowing out through her fingers, but she didn't even sob.
"Okay," Tang Xiao pulled her hand, "If he hadn't had such a problem, I wouldn't have asked him to break off the engagement with Kaiyuan. Kaiyuan is the only child of the Tang family..."
Si Dong covered his mouth and carefully took out a small white ball from his pocket.
This is a gadget that Situ Gang improved. When the two brothers went to the research institute together today, his brother gave it to him. The improved little white ball has a recording function. The original intention was to imitate other security robots to make a law enforcement recorder, but it didn't work. It can only record sound.
Si Dong hesitated for a while, but still activated the recording function.
But after a long time, Tang Xiao and Mrs. Tang didn't say anything.
After a while, Si Dong heard Mrs. Tang's thin voice with a crying tone: "But there is only Bai Li in the Bai family."
"Don't you still have it?" Tang Xiao sneered twice, "Don't we still have Kaiyuan? Isn't he the grandson of Mr. Bai?"
Mrs. Tang let go of her hand in surprise, looked at Tang Xiao for two seconds, and rushed up to hug Tang Xiao's arm: "You promised my father that the Tang family and the Bai family will no longer have anything to do with each other!"
Being pulled like this, Tang Xiao got angry and pushed Mrs. Tang away: "Didn't Zhou Yue just say, 'The rules of the dead, can they still control the living?'"
Mrs. Tang was thrown away and her body hit the wall.
She only felt a buzzing in her head, and Bai Li's face appeared in front of her again.
After the Tangs left the corridor and went to the lounge, Si Dong slowly exhaled.
He opened his personal terminal numbly, and the interface that popped up on the virtual screen was still a post from the person with the ID "Give my former boss a push."
The title of the post was still the same sentence: Today, there are finally a pair of hands that wiped the medal that had been covered in dust for years.
Si Dong suddenly realized that those hands were also forced to be covered in dust.
