There was no welcome ceremony, no written commendation orders, no news coverage, not even a single gathering.
Xu Le returned to his apartment in Wangdu District, sitting alone on the sofa eating a box of instant food, watching the TV news in a daze, and it was not until several hours later that he got out of this slightly ridiculous state.
No matter what color the dream was, but since that dream kept happening, it was not a good choice to keep thinking about it, so that the complexion was pale, the body was thin, and finally died of coughing up blood. Xu Le used his rough nerves to temporarily forget that great existence, but he couldn't get used to the quietness of the apartment.
To develop MX mechas and participate in Kaqifeng's mecha battle test, Xu Le wanted to let Professor Shen return to Professor Shen, to slap some bigwigs in the face, and to indirectly attack Governor Ross and Congressman Medellin The pair's campaign path.
However, he is a young man after all. After the Nutshell Company successfully obtained the new federation mecha standard, as the most important participant, he seemed to be forgotten by the entire federation. Some are incomprehensible.
He lowered his head and ate the green vegetables in the food box, chewing the cauliflower crunchy, then took a sip of water and raised his head to watch the TV news. On the news screen, the news spokesman of the Federal Academy of Sciences was extremely embarrassed to avoid the reporter's questions.
The federation blocked the detailed insider of the MX mecha test, but did not block the news that the MX mecha standard was passed. After all, this is an event that can greatly enhance the pride and confidence of federal citizens.
Different from the fact that the specific details of the mecha battle were hidden, Shang Qiu was in the command hall that day and accused the Federal Academy of plagiarism in person. With the evidence, President Lin Yuanhu was forced to admit that this scene was seen by too many people. And the federal government doesn't know why, and doesn't seem to be putting much effort into covering up the scandal.
In the days when Xu Le was at the Old Moon Ring Base, the entire federal press was hyping up this plagiarism scandal. Many media began to play the spirit of beating down the underdogs and uncovered the uproar of plagiarism on the public network a month ago. , and what's more, directly began to discuss which parts of the academic achievements that Dean Lin Yuanhu entered the Academy of Sciences and won the Nebula Award for plagiarized Professor Shen Yulin.
The mentality of the press is different from that of federal citizens, but it can better grasp the mentality of federal citizens. The Federal Academy of Sciences is the most respected top-level academic institution in the Federation, and President Lin Yuanhu is the most admired scholar by citizens. It hurts the emotions of many citizens, but it is also the most eye-catching event. Naturally, the press will not let this big event go.
I don't know how many people are sad while watching the news at home, but the media will only continue to discuss it in depth. It is a pity that they did not find more details of the incident, and the Academy of Sciences has no face to make any more quibbles.
Xu Le watched the news, smiled, then lowered his head and started to eat, then raised his head to look at the news, and took another bite of the meal, feeling extremely happy.
While cleaning the dishes, Xu Le received a call from Major Jiao. He knew that this strange quiet silence would soon be gone. After this call, he received another call from Zou Yu, asking him to go to Linyuan for dinner.
He touched his stomach. After Uncle Feng Yu taught him that kung fu, his appetite was indeed increasing day by day, and there should be no problem in eating another meal. Of course, even if you can't eat it, this invitation is bound to go.
The bamboo dwelling in the forest garden, the clear spring water flows slowly. Zou Yu held the maroon mud cup with two slender fingers, sniffed the fragrance of the plum wine in the cup, blinked his eyelashes slightly, and glanced at Xu Le across the table without a trace.
I first met at the entrance of a nightclub in Linhaizhou a year ago. Zou Yu was playing the role of a ruthless and rude young lady. At that time, her eyes actually stopped for a little bit on Shi Qinghai's stunning face, but she didn't care about this one at all. A young student with an ordinary face, even if he had already shown a rare dedication and loyalty to his friends at that time.
Later, because of some very strange things, the two of them actually lived under the same roof. It was their relationship during that time that made Zou Yu amazed at Xu Le's concept of life. Now the Federation wants to find such a way. It's really not that easy to breed people. At that time, she also came into contact with some secrets of Xu Le, and knew that this guy would one day shock the entire Federation.
I just never thought that this day would come so early.
Zou Yu smiled slightly and raised her head. On her unpainted face, there was a light mark on her chin that was not very clear. Her postpartum body had recovered very well. It was just because she had to breastfeed herself, so she even had a little perfume. Can't smell either.
"I heard that you are Madman Li's uncle now?" Zou Yu asked with a smile, but there was a hint of sigh in his words. Even the little madman who dared to beat the invincible army in the army and dared to break into the Parliament Hill to beat people was also defeated. For Xu Le's subordinates, this is really unimaginable.
"There's something wrong with the mecha he drives." He was too familiar with Zou Yu, Xu Le didn't care much about his manners, he sat casually leaning halfway, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I would not be his opponent to control the mecha."
"What about close combat?" Zou Yu narrowed his eyes and asked curiously. She had seen Xu Le rush up the cliff at the Hushan crossing that day, and she had also seen him in the forest garden with Madman Li. After three hits and one hang, I know that this guy's personal combat power is also extremely fierce.
"Then you won't know until you've actually played it." Xu Le replied with a smile.
"You are a person who looks gentle but can't tolerate bullying at all." Zou Yu looked at him quietly, thinking of the rumored bet, "Probably it's only you who will make the Li family in Philadelphia suffer so much. Shame and nothing to worry about at all."
"He wants to kill me, it's not like you don't know." Xu Le took a sip of wine and asked, "I heard that the military has done an excellent job of keeping secrets this time. How did this gambling contract come out?"
"Any secret is not a secret in certain circles." Zou Yu put down his glass and said seriously, "Seeing you today, some people have a few words for you."
"A lot of people don't know that you are now a captain at the General Assembly Base of the Ministry of National Defense. According to your results this time, it is no problem to be promoted directly to a lieutenant colonel, but... you were suppressed by the above."
"Major Jiao has just called me to explain." Xu Le replied.
Zou Yu said with a hint of apology: "The Nutshell Company also prepared a lot of awards, but in addition to the bonus, the rest... have also been suppressed. Even many people don't know now, defeating the Federal Academy of Sciences machine The person in A is you."
Xu Le was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "It's a little uncomfortable. But you know, I don't really care about these things."
"I don't like this attitude. When it's time to fight, you should fight." Zou Yu paused and said, "But this time, don't fight. This should be what Madam meant."
Xu Le's face didn't show much surprise. He heard Zhou Yu say it once at the Old Moon Base. After returning to S1, he also thought about this issue in the apartment. Taking advantage of the general trend that the federal government and the military want to save face for the Li family in Philadelphia, by the way, they hide themselves as much as possible. The only one who has the ability to do so is that Mrs. Tai.
It's just that he doesn't know the reason why Mrs. Tai did this. Xu Le thought of Shang Qiu. Could it be that Lin Yuanhu was accused of plagiarism in the command hall, making the Tai family feel that they were too uncontrollable? However, Lin Yuanhu's loss of power has greatly helped Congressman Pabble's presidential campaign. The Tai family should be well aware of this, and the reaction of the federal press these days has also demonstrated this.
"I haven't seen Mrs. recently, but according to my speculation, there should be some reasons related to your accusation against Lin Yuanhu." Zou Yu lowered his eyes and said with a small mouthful of the food that Xu Le ordered for her suitable for maternity "You probably haven't noticed the name Lin Yuanhu... Dean Lin is actually a distant relative of the Lin family. There may be disputes between the seven members of the Federation, but they are rarely as ruthless as you did this time, directly bringing Dean Lin After knocking off the dust, she also stomped her feet hard. Madam may be a little displeased with your act of making an opinion without asking for instructions."
Lin Yuan Lake? Lin Banshan, Lin Douhai, and Xu Le narrowed their eyes. There were too many people surnamed Lin in the federation. He really didn't think that Lin Yuanhu had anything to do with the Lin family, one of the Seven Great Families. He suddenly thought that he was sitting in a forest garden at this time, where in this world did many forests come from
He lowered his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Ask for instructions? Madam really sees me as one of her family."
"Isn't it?" Zou Yu asked quickly, bringing out some of the original aggressive meaning.
Xu Le has long been accustomed to her tone of voice. For nearly a year, Zou Yu has been acting as his analyst, helping him analyze the situation and determine the direction, even as early as the beginning of the laboratory data dispute. , then pointedly pointed out that the presidential election was hidden behind this matter, which gave him great help.
"Of course not." Xu Le was quiet for a moment and said, "Everyone is an independent person, isn't it?"
"People are people of society." Zou Yu shook his head and reminded: "If you just want to live a life in the dark, you can defend yourself, but if you want to rise up in the federation and stick to one person's principles, you will only suffered a lot."
"Stop talking about that." Xu Le suddenly thought of an important matter and said seriously: "In the two days when Liu Huo was born, I received a text message from Shi Qinghai, that guy was secretly investigating the matter of Congressman Medellin, and some I have already handed over important evidence to Shen Li. Later, I could no longer contact him, but I believe he should be alive and well."
Zou Yu's thin eyebrows wrinkled beautifully, and after a long silence, he chuckled and said, "What can that rogue find out? I said, you'd better not mention this name in front of me."
Xiao Liuhuo's parents are a very unfamiliar couple, but Xu Le kept telling the story of Shi Qinghai in front of Zou Yu. In Zou Yu's heart, the appearance of that Shi Qinghai gradually became clear, not like a man. stranger.
But she often thinks rationally that the spy who wanders in the federal society will not be as familiar with herself as she is familiar with him. This is a mouthful of words, but it shows a sad truth. So she didn't want to hear that name again, and she didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.
"Shi Gongzi is a very amazing guy." Xu Le thought of his good brother, who has been risking great danger, doing things that are invisible in the dark for the sake of light, and a trace of admiration will surge in his heart.
Zou Yu and Xu Le were so familiar that she knew what Xu Le meant by just this sentence. She chuckled and said slightly sarcastically, "Is it amazing to be as stubborn and paranoid as you are?"
Linyuan's dinner time was short, because Zou Yu had to go home to breastfeed. Xu Le sent her to the door of Xishan compound, thinking that the most important daily life of this young beautiful girl is to take care of children, she couldn't help but have some complicated emotions.
"I came to eat at home the day after tomorrow. Father probably has something to tell you. Besides... my mother is always asking when you will come back from a business trip." After getting off the car, Zou Yu sighed helplessly.
Xu Le agreed with a smile, as simply as he promised Deputy Minister Zou to carry the blame in the cemetery. His life may not be exciting, but it is definitely weird enough. How long will this black pot take
Mochou's night in the back mountain is so quiet. The picturesque landscape in the daytime is blown by the cold night wind and illuminated by the bright twin moons. Charming meaning.
The picture being played on the light screen is not the raging plagiarism incident in the recent days. In the dim picture, two of the Federation's latest MX mechas are fighting fiercely. It is the old moon card a few days ago. A significant test match at the peak of Qifeng.
The Federal Military and the Charter Bureau have jointly blocked the detailed information of this mecha battle. All video data and data have been sealed up after the necessary research at the final assembly base. Logically speaking, the appearance of these pictures on the light screen is already a serious violation of the federal confidentiality regulations. However, it was the lady who watched these pictures, so it seemed so natural.
At the touch of a button, the light screen slowly retracts into the wall. Mrs. Tai stood up from the chair and walked towards the kitchen, the expression on her face was calm with a hint of gloom. The matter of blocking the video of the battle was Mrs. Tai's suggestion to President Seagal. On the surface, it was for the sake of the reputation of the Lee family in Philadelphia. In fact, only she herself understood the most important reason.
The body of the white mecha trembling slightly in the picture was so familiar, although it was only for a moment, it was deeply imprinted into her eyes.
Most of the people who had witnessed the man operating the mecha back then had died, but there were still some people alive. Isn't that daring kid not afraid of dying without a place to be buried
Mrs. Tai gently stirred the clear tea and ginkgo porridge in the white porcelain pot and thought with a sigh.
