Xu Xinghe learned of his divorce from his colleagues.
In 329 years of the Milky Way Calendar, the first day of early summer.
There is still more than half an hour before the lunch break, and Team Leader Xu has already finished replying to all work emails in advance, as well as the routine inspection and maintenance of the mastermind B16 area.
The bright sunlight poured into the ark through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving his black eyes and black hair a touch of amber.
This would have been a perfect day if my coffee machine hadn't died.
Xu Xinghe stretched himself under the artificial sun, picked up his cup and walked towards the tea room.
Then heard all this at the door of the pantry—
"Breaking news! General Mu just announced his divorce!"
"Which General Mu?"
"Which one else? Major General Mu Qingyun! Xu Xinghe's spouse!"
"What the hell! Let me see—what's the matter? Have they been married for a year?"
"Of course it's full. General Mu filed for divorce on the basis of the one-year marriage protection period."
"So absolutely?!"
"Why is this so dead? Think about Xu Xinghe's arrogant look, which Alpha would like it? General Mu must have had enough of him this year!"
"That's right, as an Omega, what does Xu Xinghe look like in the workplace every day in the limelight?"
At this time, a girl in the corner whispered: "Eh? I think Team Leader Xu is not bad, he helped me before..."
Someone immediately refuted her: "You just came here, how many times have you met him? Let me tell you, this man's character is not ordinary! Otherwise, why didn't he win the general's heart for a year?"
The little girl in the corner lowered her head and remained silent.
"He doesn't just have a personality problem. To be honest, I sometimes doubt that his physiology as an Omega is still healthy—" The speaker pointed to the glands on the back of his neck, and exchanged a " You know" look.
"No one has ever smelled his pheromone smell, and he is usually not seen using blockers and inhibitors."
"Hey... Poor General Mu wasted a year on this kind of person. To be honest, if I were an Alpha, I would have preferred to pay the fine and not marry him."
In the interstellar era, the fertility rate of Omega dropped to a historical freezing point.
For the continuation of the human race, the alliance began to implement the "Matching Marriage Law". The mastermind designated marriages based on the degree of genetic matching between unmarried Alpha and Omega, and on the premise of maximizing the fertility rate.
If the matched object does not obey the mastermind marriage, he must pay a huge fine.
And if government officials or active soldiers of the alliance refuse to marry the mastermind, they will also be punished additionally.
"I read that T agency broke the news that General Mu originally had a lover, and now the divorce is to reunite with the old lover."
"That's right! It's said that they started talking about getting married a year ago, but the mastermind marriage messed it up."
"Ah? Then why did General Mu agree to marry Xu Xinghe in the first place? For a person of his status, if he really wants to avoid being matched with the mastermind, there is no way at all, right? Why wait this year?"
"Maybe it's for having a child? A big family like the Mu family needs an heir."
"It's a pity that Xu Xinghe's stomach doesn't live up to expectations, and he hasn't conceived for a year... Will it be difficult in the future?"
According to the master brain's matching algorithm, Omega that is close to the estrus period will be given priority for marriage.
Therefore, more than 65% of couples will conceive in the first year of marriage, and Omega who does not conceive within a year has a high probability that they will not conceive again in the future.
"I see that Xu Xinghe came to work as usual today, and I don't know whether to admire him or sympathize with him."
"Hmph, he's nothing to be sympathetic to. I worked with him for a while when I participated in the Young Eagle Project, and found that guy was competitive, eccentric and arrogant. What's the use of this kind of Omega job? If you can't arouse Alpha's desire to protect, it will only annoy people!"
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door suddenly said: "Group Leader Xu, good afternoon."
Everyone in the house: "..."
Xu Xinghe who was eating his melon outside the door: "..."
Team leader Xu paused for two seconds, then put one hand in his pocket and the other held a blue starry sky coffee cup, and kicked open the door of the tea room with his toes carelessly—
The room was suddenly silent.
Xu Xinghe looked around, raised his cup and took a sip of coffee unhurriedly.
At this moment, there are four people in the tea room, three women and one man, all of them belong to the logistics department in uniform.
And Xu Xinghe works in the technical department, so he is not very familiar with them.
The rest area of the Ark is divided according to ABO attributes, not by department. This is destined to make it difficult for Team Leader Xu to meet acquaintances from the same department in the exclusive rest area of Omega—
Among the hundreds of people in the Ark Technology Department, Omega can count on one hand.
It is even more unprecedented for an Omega like Xu Xinghe to be promoted to the team leader of the sixth team just over a year after his arrival.
So he became the outlier in the eyes of everyone who is "competitive and pushy".
Xu Xinghe turned his gaze to the male Omega who was the loudest just now, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I just passed by and heard someone said that I participated in the 'Eagle Project' with me, so I wanted to come in to say hello. But —”
Xu Xinghe sized him up from top to bottom, and said quietly, "Who are you?"
Dong Yue's face froze.
The "Eagle Project" is Ark's training plan for outstanding employees who have just joined the company. It is divided into several rounds and screened layer by layer. The people who can stay in the end are the key training targets of Ark. Most of them will be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
Although Dong Yue was selected back then, he was screened out in the first round. After that, he only looked at Xu Xinghe from a distance, and the two of them never spoke at all.
But the problem is that when he meets everyone, he brags that he has been to the "Eagle Project" and is regarded as a key training object of the Ark, etc. Xu Xinghe said he didn't know him at this moment, didn't he just slap him in the face
The corners of Dong Yue's mouth twitched, and he said with a blunt smile: "There are not many people who can let go of Team Leader Xu, of course he doesn't remember me... By the way, Team Leader Xu, have you read today's news?"
"News?" Xu Xinghe tilted his head, "I didn't read it, of course I didn't. There are still more than ten minutes before the lunch break, and now it's working time." It is not allowed to use personal electronic devices to do things not related to work during working hours. Violators will be fined 500 alliance coins once, isn’t this stipulated in the "Ark Rules and Regulations"? Are you breaking the rules in private?"
Dong Yue's face turned even darker.
The other Omega beside him silently put his hands behind his back, and turned off the electronic smart phone on his wrist.
Most companies will have similar regulations, and Ark is no exception.
But these days, everyone basically turns on their smartphones to chat with family and friends in their free time, or browse entertainment news. The relevant regulations have long been a dead letter, how can anyone fully abide by them in private
Xu Xinghe seemed to see through what they were thinking, and smiled faintly: "It is because I strictly abide by the rules of the Ark, coupled with my strong work ability and high efficiency, that I won the Excellent Employee Award in the first year after I came here. Work hard, everyone, If you keep the Ark Regulations in mind, you will have a chance to win this honor next year."
The faces of the people in the tea room turned darker, but they still couldn't refute.
No matter how much they ridiculed behind their backs, they couldn't change the fact that Xu Xinghe's ability was indeed outstanding.
Xu Xinghe filled up the coffee, then meandered away.
The moment he turned around, everyone could clearly see that there was an old dark red scar on the back of his fair and slender neck that was as long as his little finger.
Dong Yue didn't grit his teeth until he was sure he was gone, "Look at him... just wait until you die alone!"
"How did Team Leader Xu get that wound on his gland? It looks serious. Is it because of this that he lost his pheromone smell?"
"I don't know how it came about, but this injury shouldn't affect his physical function, right? Otherwise, his rating would definitely drop to E directly. How could he be matched by the mastermind to General Mu?"
Dong Yue sneered and said: "Scars grow in such a sensitive place, what's the difference between disfigured and disfigured? It's no wonder that General Mu looks down on him, even an Alpha would find it disgusting! It's ridiculous that he still looks arrogant all day long , I don’t know where the confidence comes from. Does he think he can find a better partner than General Mu in the future?”
"How is it possible! General Mu is already ranked second among the league's top ten single alphas selected by the Capital Entertainment Agency. How can there be a better unmarried partner than him?"
"Unless it's the number one..."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a brief silence in the tea room.
Immediately, a burst of laughter broke out.
"Hahahaha! You mean Marshal Ling? This is even more impossible!"
"Yeah, Marshal Ling hasn't been on the matching list for decades. Everyone suspects that he has been removed from the mastermind!"
"Actually, top-level Alphas like Marshal should have been matched first, and I don't know why the mastermind didn't send him a notification..."
"Maybe it's because Marshal Ling is so outstanding, no Omega is worthy of him, right?"
"That's right, if Xu Xinghe can marry him in his second marriage, I'll eat the keyboard!"
After the lunch break, Xu Xinghe could feel subtle changes in the way many colleagues around him looked at him.
Some are sympathetic, some are worried, and some are gloating.
However, everyone in the technical department still has basic self-cultivation. On the surface, they all pretended that nothing happened and kept smiling politely.
It wasn't until this time that Xu Xinghe realized that he was a little depressed.
That bastard Mu Qingyun! Don't you know how to say hello to yourself in advance for divorce
If he hadn't just heard it outside the tea room, he would still be kept in the dark.
This is not the most annoying.
The most irritating thing is—
He didn't wash his hair before going out today!
Sensing gazes from all directions, Xu Xinghe quietly sipped his coffee.
Heart: MD, why!
A person like myself, who averagely takes eight showers a week for the first ten times, didn't take a shower just yesterday. Why did he just catch up with this kind of thing? !
At this moment, the electronic smartphone on the wrist suddenly vibrated.
Xu Xinghe lowered his eyes and saw that it was his "ex-husband-to-be" calling.
Team leader Xu sneered inwardly, pressed the button to turn off the phone expressionlessly, and then devoted himself to the afternoon's work.
"Ethan, is there a program error in the 2210-2830 section?"
"Xiao Zhou, check the operation status of the server in area B16."
"The MM system bug of Rise Star was reported three days ago, why hasn't there been any feedback yet?"
When it was time to work, Xu Xinghe's attitude became extremely serious.
During this period, countless pairs of eyes swept over him, but he turned a blind eye and went about his own work.
The careful and worried members of the six groups found that their newly divorced group leader Xu not only didn't show the slightest bit of hurt, but seemed to be in a good mood?
This is not an illusion, Xu Xinghe figured it out after a moment of depression—
Early divorce and early liberation!
Even if Mu Qingyun did some tricks, at least everyone was happy in the ending.
Immediately, I can return to the relaxed single state in the past, and I don't have to watch Mu Qingyun and his little lover show affection under my nose anymore!
Is there anything more gratifying than this
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xinghe changed his clothes and was about to leave work, but he was stunned as soon as he left the locker room.
"That, Team Leader Xu..."
I met in the tea room today, the skinny little girl in the corner.
The girl had already changed back to her pale yellow plaid skirt at this moment, and was waiting for him with her fingers.
"I'm sorry about noon. I really didn't mean to speak ill of you, but..."
Xu Xinghe gave her a strange look: "You didn't speak ill of me, so there's no need to apologize, I'm off work, I'm leaving first, goodbye."
"Eh? Wait a minute! Team Leader Xu!"
The girl followed up and asked cautiously, "Aren't you... not angry?"
Xu Xinghe said lazily: "Why are you angry? They can't be counting as spreading rumors. Except for that Dong Yue, when did I ever work with him? He was kicked out on the first day he joined the Young Eagle Project."
The girl blinked: "Huh? So you know him?"
Xu Xinghe: "Yeah, the 'genius' who made the ending sentence into a loop, can't it not be impressive? For this reason, a group of us had to work overtime to clean up the system garbage, and our supervisor was so angry that his nose was crooked, pointing at him After scolding for more than ten minutes, he was immediately kicked out of the Young Eagle Project."
The girl chuckled.
As Xu Xinghe walked out of the building, he turned his head and glanced at her: "But I don't have much impression of you, you said I helped you before?"
"Well... But you probably didn't see me at the time, so you didn't remember it." The girl lowered her head, she didn't know what she thought of, she blushed suddenly, and then summoned up her courage and said, "My name is Jennifer, I can find time to invite you Have a meal?"
"I'm sorry, I have an appointment today." Xu Xinghe walked out of the building and waved to the girl behind him, "Come on, work harder, come to me if you encounter any problems, bye."
It was not until he left the Ark Building that Xu Xinghe turned on the electronic smart phone on his wrist again.
It was discovered that Mu Qingyun had made two more phone calls in the afternoon.
Xu Xinghe smiled.
They have been married for a year, and Mu Qingyun has not made more than five phone calls to herself.
And every time he had a conflict with his little lover, he called to stand up for his little lover.
It's rare to be so active this time, did you finally remember to let yourself sign the divorce agreement
Other than that, Xu Xinghe really couldn't think of any other reason for General Mu to call him.
The "Appropriate Marriage Law" stipulates that once the one-year marriage protection period expires, if both parties agree to divorce, the divorce will take effect immediately after signing.
And if one party refuses to sign, the other party needs to go to the Union Court to apply for divorce. This process may take one month to half a year.
So Mu Qingyun couldn't even wait for this little time? Can't wait to marry your sweetheart
What did you do early
Xu Xinghe looked at the three missed calls and didn't call back. He just replied a voice message to Mu Qingyun with a cold tone: "Send the divorce agreement, I'll sign it."
A minute later, Mu Qingyun wrote back: "OK."
really.
Xu Xinghe snorted, lowered his arms, looked up at the golden-red sunset in the sky, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
In fact, even if Mu Qingyun didn't call in person, he would definitely sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible.
He doesn't want to go back to that lifeless Mu family and be looked down upon...
Now that the matching and wedding period has come to an end, everything can start again.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe suddenly felt refreshed.
He actually didn't have an appointment tonight, he just planned to go home and have a good sleep.
But at this moment Xu Xinghe changed his mind.
At least go to a big dinner to celebrate first, shall we
So, while thinking about the important topic of what to eat tonight, Team Leader Xu hummed a little song and walked towards the parking lot.
Before he reached the entrance to the parking lot, he saw a blond man wearing sunglasses from a distance.
The huge sunglasses covered half of the man's face, but they couldn't cover his delicate chin and perfect lip shape.
It can be seen that she is a beauty.
— Mi Lu, Mu Qingyun's little lover.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Mi Lu also saw this place when he turned his head, so he walked towards Xu Xinghe with big strides.
Xu Xinghe slightly raised his eyebrows: "What's your business?"
Mi Lu took off his sunglasses slowly, revealing those angry green eyes, and immediately covered his face with a face: "Do you think that if you don't answer the phone or sign a contract, you don't have to get a divorce?"
