Chapter 37

Seeing Cheng Xiu lower his head, Cao Yu reached out and touched his head.

Cheng Xiu was not sad, but rather complicated. 100 years ago, he was the head of the Vientiane Department, and he responded to everything he did, taking it for granted.Suddenly, 100 years later, the Vientiane system fell apart, and he was forced to re-examine himself at the time as a bystander. It seemed that things that he thought were justified were not so justified?

At the beginning, the government repeatedly reprimanded him for monopolizing power and being domineering. He not only acted arbitrarily in the military, but also had the intention of meddling in political affairs from time to time, which made the division of labor between the military and government in Xingguo blurred, and the powers and responsibilities were unclear.At that time, he thought, as long as he has enough ability, why should he give up doing the right things because of the rigid rules?

The consequence of excessive concentration of power in the hands of one person is that once that person disappears without warning, the power that was originally twisted into one rope collapses instantly.

At the age of 39, he never thought that he would bid farewell to the world in a hurry. He has not had time to plan the future of the Vientiane Department, and even he cannot decide the ownership of his inheritance.

Guo Tan tentatively asked: "Is the 'Star Angel' I saw on the starship real?"

Cao Yu sharply raised his head and stared at him.

Guo Tan said: "I don't mean anything else. I heard from my dad that General Lin Ying has no successors. Several commanders selected the strongest through trials and succeeded the 'Star Angel', so I thought..."

"Who is it?" Cheng Xiu asked.

Guo Tan said: "It's from the Yue family, called Yue..."

"Yue Xiao?"

"Seems to be."

Cheng Xiu was not surprised.When he was alive, several old friends had children one after another. When he was young, Yue Xiao was the most talented.

Guo Tan said: "But later, Jiang Xianglan defeated him with a very ordinary training mecha."

This is the secret of the Vientiane Department, and it is the first time Cao Yu has heard of it.

Guo Tan added another sentence: "It's not an ordinary defeat. I heard that the 'Star Angel' was directly disabled. That's why Jiang Xianglan became the recognized successor of Admiral Lin Ying."

"..." Cheng Xiu was concerned about another issue.No wonder "Star Angel" has become so broken!

He said to Cao Yu: "If uh uh uh really uh uh uh uh, I'll help you."

The first "hmmmm" is fake Song Yu, and the second "hmmmm" is Jiang Xianglan.

Cao Yu understood: "For the 'starry sky angel'?"

Cheng Xiu gritted her teeth: "For the 35 billion who were cheated."

Cao Yu let out a meaningful "oh".Caring about the same wallet is the prerequisite for becoming a family.The premise is there, is the follow-up still far away?He thought well, looked down at the top of Cheng Xiu's little round head, and his heart became cold again.

Mental running cannot speed up physical slow running.

On his side, he was suddenly happy and worried, while Guo Tan was already excited and incoherent: "So, the starship is real, and the 'Star Angel' is real? You are from the Yue family? But why do you look like Admiral Lin Ying?" ?”

Cheng Xiu said: "Because he is a great person, I admire him so much..."

Guo Tan suddenly said: "So you have plastic surgery."

Cheng Xiu shook her head: "So when I was in my mother's womb, I actively put on facial masks and did facial exercises to strive for a perfect appearance! Sure enough, my image is particularly radiant after birth!"

Guo Tan: "..."

Cao Yu touched Cheng Xiu's face: "It's really good."

The proud Cheng Xiu turned her head to see his face, her burning heart cooled down again, and she turned her head with a cold hum.

"What's wrong?" Cao Yu's expression was inexplicable, he was obviously fine just now.

Cheng Xiu moaned and said, "Back then the whole media voted for the number one diamond bachelor in Xingguo..."

Cao Yu said, "Didn't Cao Qi win?"

Cheng Xiu looked at him: "He is third."

"But the first and second are disqualified." Cao Yu said nonsense, "Cao Xie and Lin Ying are a couple, how can they be considered bachelors?"

Guo Tan: "..." I seem to have heard a great secret!

Cheng Xiu sneered, turned to look at Guo Tan, and continued the question that was interrupted just now: "Yue Xiao must have a grudge for being robbed of his position as the successor of the Vientiane Department, so those who plot against Jiang Xianglan later, including the Yue family? "

Guo Tan said: "Except that the Song family and the Jiang family are related by marriage, they didn't do anything. The Yue family and the Ma family are all involved, and there are people in the political circle."

Cao Yu calmly said what he couldn't say clearly: "Jiang Xianglan is dead, and the Cao family has been greatly injured by him."

Cheng Xiu sorted out the grievances and grievances between the Cao family and Jiang Xianglan, and found that in minutes, he made up a bloody drama that integrated popular elements such as family, love, and power.

Jiang Xianglan and Cao Ning are united because of family interests, their foundation is weak, and their marriage is in jeopardy.Then the differences between the military and the government deepened, and the conflict between the two deepened. One day, Jiang Xianglan couldn't control the flame of hatred in his heart and killed Cao Ning.In order to prevent the Cao family from retaliation, Jiang Xianglan desperately attacked the Cao family, causing it to collapse.Cao Ning's father, who was sad at both ends of the business and private affairs, was in a daze for a while, and killed Jiang Xianglan again.

What a well-founded, well-founded, beginning-to-end, cause-and-effect family struggle story.

The plot was so old-fashioned that he wanted to pick out the characters in the play one by one and give them a good education.After living so long, the rice was all for nothing.What the hell are you doing if you don't think about giving back to the society all day long!

Seeing that Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu were not talking, Guo Tan couldn't help but said, "I have another question."

Cao Yu said: "Since we want to cooperate, of course we should be open and honest. Please ask."

Guo Tan glanced at Cheng Xiu, "The 'four-corner maneuver' used by Cheng Xiu that I saw at Sang's house last time, is this the unique secret technique of Admiral Lin Ying?"

Cheng Xiu said, "I learned from the video."

Guo Tan said: "It's not easy to learn." At least he hasn't touched the edge yet.

Cao Yu said: "I have learned it too, it's quite simple." He stood up and demonstrated it in slow motion.

Guo Tan: "..."

Cheng Xiu: "..." He said that he learned from the video, not to show how easy it is to learn "Four Corners", but to highlight his own intelligence.

Guo Tan didn't know that his unintentional words had planted explosives for Cao Yu, and he was extremely satisfied with today's harvest, thinking that the trust between the two parties had reached an unprecedented new level.

"Then how did you get 'Star Angel'?"

Cao Yu said matter-of-factly, "Bidding."

Guo Tan said, "35 billion?"

Cao Yu nodded.

Guo Tan took a deep breath, thankful that he changed to a thicker thigh in time: "When I was young, my dad would often tell me stories about the Vientiane System and the big families of the Central Galaxy. Back to the central galaxy. It was a coincidence that I met you, I just seized this opportunity, please believe that I have no intention or malice towards you."

Cao Yu asked, "What's so special about us?"

Guo Tan said: "Cheng Xiu's 'four-corner roundabout'! I really thought he was a descendant of the Yue family, especially because he looked so similar to Admiral Lin Ying. Although I have nothing to do with the Vientiane Department now, I feel that my body I still have the blood of the Vientiane Department. If one day, if there is a chance, I would like to join the Vientiane Department."

Cheng Xiu said: "The Vientiane Department has already declined."

"When Admiral Lin Ying died, everyone felt that the Vientiane Department was in decline, but 50 years later, Jiang Xianglan, who was known as 'Lin Ying's second', appeared, and now 50 years have passed, who knows that there will be no 'Jiang Xianglan' Second."

Cheng Xiu said: "That would be wonderful." Now that Lin Ying has appeared first, and Jiang Xianglan who is suspected of being "Lin Ying second" has appeared first, if there is another Jiang Xianglan second... that would be too exciting!

Guo Tan got the answer he wanted and went back satisfied.

Cheng Xiu and Cao Tong were left in the dormitory.

Cheng Xiu moved the table and chairs away.

Cao Huang looked at the vacated field and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Cheng Xiu pressed his fist and said, "How easy is it for me to try 'Four Corners'?"

Cao Yu glanced out of the window.

Cheng Xiu kicked him.

Cao Yu fell down on the bed with a loud "Oh".

Cheng Xiu: "...Did you become chief of staff by relying on Pingci?"

Cao Yu lay sideways on the bed, and said with a smile: "What the chief of staff means is that in order to get rid of the "purpose" of being single, I want to "tick" the "head" of the family."

Cheng Xiu: "..."

Someone knocked on the door.

Cheng Xiu opened the door, and saw Xu Zhenghao handing him an application form excitedly: "The Mecha Club of Qingyang College has come to recruit people in advance, do you want to try it? If you are selected, you can go to Qingyang in advance The Academy Mecha Club studies and trains, and if the training is good, there will be special bonus points for the college entrance examination."

As the number one university in mecha among non-military academies, Qingyang College attaches great importance to cultivating mecha talents, and often goes to the attached high school to find good seedlings in advance.After all, most of the bodies of college students are stereotyped, and there is no room for improvement.

Cheng Xiu lacked interest.

The attached middle school has an organic armor club, but neither he nor Cao Yu joined.An old monster whose actual age is more than 100 years old plays mechs with a group of tender newcomers. This is not bullying, it is shameless.

Xu Zhenghao thought that he didn't understand the importance of mechas, and persuaded him: "There was a survey before, and the average salary of jobs related to mechas is nearly ten times higher than the average salary of Xingguo."

This is a scary number.If Xingguo's per capita salary is around [-], then the average salary of mecha-related jobs will be close to [-].If Cheng Xiu and Cao Tong were ordinary students, they would indeed be easily attracted.

Seeing that he was still unmoved, Xu Zhenghao resorted to his trump card: "The seniors from Qingyang College will come in two days, do you want to go and see? Maybe there will be an exhibition match."

For the sake of his hard work in sales, Cheng Xiu agreed and accepted the application.

When the two were together, Cao Yu asked curiously, "Why didn't you join? Don't you want to play mecha?"

Cheng Xiu said: "When I'm older, I'm going to enter a professional wealthy club. Who has time to play clubs with children?"

Cao Yu took the application form, his eyes flickered: "That's it."

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Xiu suddenly came over.

Cao Yu thought for a while and said, "I want to join the mecha club with you."

Cheng Xiu asked, "What's the reason?"

"I don't want you to join a professional club."

"You're quite direct."

"Don't you want me to be direct?"

"Yes, this way I can also reject you directly." Cheng Xiu raised a finger and shook it in front of him, "No."

On the day when Qingyang College came to collect seedlings, the auditorium was crowded with people inside and outside.The members of the Mecha Club of the attached middle school were the first batch to undergo the assessment, and after a while, a few people came out dejectedly.

Cheng Xiu was a little curious about the scene of their assessment, so she took the application and asked them, "How was the assessment? Is it difficult?"

Several people explained in a hurry.

The assessment is divided into three sessions.The first is a written test to check their knowledge of mechs.The second session is to practice on the machine, to see the coordination and balance ability of hands and feet.The third is a psychological test to test their psychological quality and response ability on the spot.

Passing through the sea of ​​people, just for such a basic test, Cheng Xiu refused in her heart.

However, before he had time to sound the drum to retreat, several failed candidates had already actively led him into the siege, and slapped the application on the Qingyang College test table.

"This is our middle school child prodigy! He is very smart! He will definitely be able to do it!"

Candidates who failed the rankings bragged one by one, placing unlimited expectations on Cheng Xiu.

Cheng Xiu: "..." The direction of the plot is not quite right.Based on his many years of experience in reading earth novels, shouldn't he be severely ridiculed and despised? Everyone poked his spine and said, you deserve it, and then pouted him to drool.I was deeply stimulated and finally no longer restrained the power of the prehistoric, and used a stunning shot, slapped everyone in the face, making them kneel on the ground and sing: You are so beautiful...

"Cheng Xiu?" The person next to him reached out to pat him, but was stopped by Cao Yu.

Cao Xun lowered his head and filled out the two application forms for himself and Cheng Xiu, then stood aside and waited.

The queue was very long, but the exam was very fast. Many people who had the mentality of giving it a try hadn't even figured out how to open the cockpit of the mecha, so they were rejected immediately. When it was Cheng Xiu and Cao Yu's turn , The time has only passed for more than half an hour.

Xu Zhenghao passed the first two levels and was walking towards the last level. When he saw Cheng Xiu approaching, he waved his hands excitedly.

Cao Yu asked, "Since when did you become so familiar?"

Cheng Xiu thought for a while: "Probably it started with 'oh', 'ah', 'so that's how it is'? It's all a friendship that came out of child care."

Cao Yu: "..."

In the first level of the mecha test, Cheng Xiu finished sixty points and didn't want to fill in the rest. Cao Tong finished it honestly and got full marks.Although the results are different, the performance of the two is equally eye-catching.By the time of the second session, they were arranged to board the plane at the same time.

The senior of Qingyang College stood between the two of them, holding a trumpet and directing: "Listen to my password now, don't worry, slowly raise your steps towards..." Before he finished speaking, Cheng Xiu used the "four-corner roundabout" ", and then he hooked his hand provocatively at Cao Yu.

Cao Yu had no choice but to walk around slowly.

"..."

The senior put down the trumpet and happily ran to tell others the good news that he had dug up the treasure.

In view of the outstanding performance of the two, at the beginning of the third round, all the people who came to the Qingyang Academy for the assessment were present. There were not enough seats, so they simply stood, and a dozen pairs of eyes stared straight at the two teenagers in the center.

"Cough, now we will let you play a game, you just relax and just do it normally."

Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu received two game consoles.

Cheng Xiu fiddled with it and was a little disappointed, the version was very old, not as good as the one Cao Yu bought for him.

Cao Yu watched Cheng Xiu's fiddling steps out of the corner of his eyes, finally understood how to play, and then began to grope slowly.

Although it’s not fun, Cheng Xiu became addicted to it in one night, and passed all the way. He didn’t even hear the people in Qingyang College say that it’s okay, so he was taken by Cao Yu to sit in the corner and continue to play until his stomach gurgled with hunger. When he looked up, he realized that the others had dispersed at some point, and only Cao Yu and people from Qingyang College were left with him.

Although Cheng Xiu has a thick skin, she will be embarrassed when she should be: "I'm sorry, I forgot the time."

"It doesn't matter, it's the first time we have seen someone who can play the sky-shooting machine to more than 100 levels with one life."

Cao Yu and You smiled proudly.

Cheng Xiu returned the game console to them: "The assessment is over?"

"Yes, you all passed, congratulations!" The seniors applauded.

Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu watched them silently.

……

The atmosphere is a bit eerie.The examiner was actually more excited than the examinee when the exam was passed.

The examiners coughed dryly and said, "You can go back to Qingyang College to register with us today." The overly calm attitude of the two people was really disturbing. In order to avoid accidentally running away, they had to act preemptively and raise him in captivity. Besides.

Cheng Xiu was going to refuse, and then a cute senior girl who looked like a rabbit said with a smile: "Besides mechs, Qingyang College is most famous for its cafeteria. Things like yellow croaker wrapped in bean curd skin, crystal dumplings, yolk buns, farmhouse Ten eat..."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Xiu's stomach was already rumbling.

"Go, let's go now!"

"Be sure to treat you to a full meal."

Regardless of Cheng Xiu's willingness or not, a group of people hugged them out.

After getting into the car, Cheng Xiu kicked Cao Huang's foot.

Cao Yu bent down and put his ear close to his lips.

Cheng Xiu took a deep breath before saying coldly, "You told them, right?"

The cold and warm air blowing in the ears, like a bridge, bridged the two, creating a private space that no one else could enter, full of intimacy and ambiguity, even if the tone was not good, Cao Yu was sweet in his heart.

"Well. I said so."

Ever since Cheng Xiu said that the two should be honest with each other, Cao Yu has become extremely sincere, almost answering every question and answering every mistake.

But from Cheng Xiu's point of view, he has nothing to fear.

Cheng Xiu said, "I think I should be very angry."

Cao Yu said, "I cheated you a meal, isn't it good?"

Cheng Xiu said, "I have to thank you too."

"Do we still need to thank each other?"

Cheng Xiu turned her head away and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Cao Yu gently adjusted the color of the window so that he could see it more comfortably.

"If they don't invite them, will they have nothing to eat?" Cheng Xiu seemed to be talking to herself at the window.

But Cao Yu has always caught his voice very quickly: "As long as you want to eat, there will always be food."

Cheng Xiu still looked out of the window.

It's just that there is a faint shadow on the window, and it seems that there is a faint smile on it.

When I drove to Qingyang College, I got the news that the head and deputy head of the mecha club were all due, and wanted to meet the legendary two talented, unstoppable supernovas.

Cao Yu came down first, followed by Cheng Xiu...

The head of the group looked behind them: "Why is there only one, and there is another one?"

Cheng Xiu was gearing up, feeling that the scene where she was slapped in the face and then slapped in the face finally came true.

Senior Rabbit pushed Cheng Xiu forward: "That's him. He passed more than 100 levels of the sky-shooting machine with one life!"

The leader's eyes lit up, he held his hand and said, "It's so rare to be so powerful at such a young age! Don't worry, we will definitely give you the best resources and train you with all our strength!"

Cheng Xiu: "..." Why, everyone is so talkative?

After Senior Rabbit's whispering, the group leader personally took Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu to the cafeteria for dinner, and set up a full table.

"This is only No. [-] cafeteria. There are ten cafeterias in our college. Each cafeteria has different specialty dishes. Today is still part of the specialty dishes. You eat slowly, and there is still more. It is when you grow your body, you must Ensure nutrition supply."

Amidst the chatter of the head of the group, Cheng Xiu ate so much that her stomach became more curved.

Then the group leader took him to visit the mecha club.

As soon as you enter, you can see that the windows on both sides of the corridor are full of various honorary medals and certificates, all of which are the achievements of the Mecha Club of Qingyang College in these years.

Cao Huang glanced and found that the medals and certificates that had been given every year since the year before last were gone.

One side of the leader's body blocked his gaze, and he stretched out his hand to make two gestures of invitation: "Inside is the training ground, and there are also training mechas belonging to our mecha club. We have the sponsorship of Comang Group, and we can try it out every year." A batch of their new mechas. This year's mechas will be delivered next month, if you are interested, you can also try it."

After talking so much, Cheng Xiu finally became interested.Because his teacher has a good relationship with Aote Factory, and all the mechas are supplied by Aote Factory, including his "Star Angel", which is also customized for them, so he rarely has the opportunity to use the mechas of Comang Group. It's a pity, now that he has the opportunity to come to the door, of course he will not refuse.

Looking at his face, Cao Yu knew that the leader's move was right for him, so he hit the bull's-eye and asked, "When will the new mecha arrive next month?"

"NO.15, it happens to be Saturday."

Cao Yu said, "We will definitely be there."

Obtaining his promise, the group leader obviously relaxed a lot, took them around again, and sent them back reluctantly until it was getting dark.
