Dark History
Upon hearing Wu Yan's words, Huo Xiao and Li Yuan's expressions seemed frozen in place.
The pot that doesn't boil is the one you lift.
Who hasn't had a youthful and reckless past?
Especially Li Yuan.
There was nothing but unwillingness in his heart.
Back then, he and Huo Xiao joined the camp at the same time, in the same base.
Due to their family backgrounds, extraordinary abilities, and appearances, they were the crème de la crème, the darlings of the heavens at the pinnacle of the imperial star pyramid.
In various scenarios, comparisons are inevitable.
Every time there was a military competition, others would always stop at the point of contact,
When these two people took the stage, they fought each other to the death.
The new recruits in the camp were trembling with fear; it was too violent and too bloody..
Do they have some kind of deep-seated enmity?
The class monitor sighed softly, "No, it's purely out of love for fighting, the other party."
They had fought over everything, even once over a new towel.
The company that produced the towel saw its sales skyrocket by 500% that day
The board of directors was completely baffled. They gathered a group of economists who analyzed the situation for three days and nights but still couldn't find the reason.
Later, it was an intern who revealed the truth.
The subordinates, everyone knew, but they just wouldn't say.
Because the old fossils on the board of directors would never watch the ultra-popular XingLe video website among young people,
As long as they took a look, they would find that the homepage of Xingle featured the video of the fight over the towel
Subsequently, countless versions proliferated wildly, spreading rapidly, with the number of viewers growing exponentially!
The video has an angle that clearly shows the logo of the towels produced by their company.
The matter of fighting over the towel itself has a bit of absurdity in it.
But if it were merely a fight over a towel, it wouldn't be enough to unleash such tremendous energy.
The fundamental reason for its popularity is actually the video quality, which resembles that of an A/V
The appearance of the two male protagonists was as captivating as that of top-tier celebrities, irresistibly heart-stirring!
The celebrities appeared fully made up, as exquisite as mannequins.
But these two were completely natural, as casual as getting up in the morning to brush their teeth.
It's just... they weren't wearing shirts.
Men are all like this.
Wonderful!
That figure!?
The moment the video was released, it caused an uproar and sparked countless discussions.
A peerless man!
Cutting women and men alike.
Little Zero loves more than girls!
Everyone speculated about the origins of these two handsome men. From their background, it seemed they lived a communal life.
Are you a student?
Everyone was curious about the true identities of these two male protagonists
Due to the overwhelming interest in this matter, the website was considering whether to conduct an offline interview
This video was inexplicably taken down, its popularity suddenly cut off, including all related derivative videos, disappearing without a trace overnight.
But it broke the 50-year record for the number of plays on Xing Le Station, bringing 20 million new members to the site!
The last time it was the leader's inauguration, everyone was just going through the motions, showing some support
In fact, what's so interesting about the old man?
Men are better when they are young!
The video is gone, but the legend remains!
This is known in the history of Xing Le Station as the Battle of the Towels.
And that towel was called Daji's towel!
Daji: I've been reborn. Reborn as a towel! I'd rather not have been reborn at all.
Some people tried to uncover the reasons behind it, but every discussion topic vanished like mud flowing into the sea, leaving no trace behind.
At its core, it was the wind of the towel that blew into the noble district of the Imperial Star Upper City.
Alarmed the families behind the two men.
-The Huo Family-
Huo Xiao's sister-in-law: (dumbfounded) Is life in the military camp so tough now? They can't even issue towels.
Brother Huo Xiao: ...It shouldn't be like this. (Racking his brains, unable to understand)
In the middle of a light-brain call..
Brother Huo Xiao: I heard that your area is experiencing a financial crunch?
Military district leader: What?!
-The Li Family-
Mrs. Li: My son is living such a miserable life, boohoohoo
Master Li: Old Zhong, go and buy that company.
Since their son liked the towels produced by that company, owning that company was equivalent to having their son by their side.
Lawyer Zhong: "Hello, this is the acquisition plan."
Boss Mao: "Acquisition?"
"Not for sale, not for sale, we are a family business from the countryside!"
A stern refusal!
Poverty cannot sway me, nor can power bend me!
They would never become cannon fodder for these large corporations.
Hiss, so many zeros?
"Mr. Mao, my eyes are blurry. Can you help me see how much this is?" he said to the secretary.
"20 billion, boss."
It's not that it can't be moved,
I said move, so we move.
Whoever comes, you all have to move!
-Workers' Assembly of the Towel Manufacturing Plant-
"Mao Weidong, you treacherous scoundrel!"
"Exactly, you promised we could work here until retirement, but you sold the factory, you scoundrel!"
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the workers' spittle was about to drown him
Maojin always wore sunglasses, steady as an old dog
Go ahead, curse me, I love listening to it.
When everyone was tired of cursing, the secretary announced,
"Severance pay, 30 million per person!"
Seize less!?
"If you don't want to leave, you can continue working here. There will still be shares and dividends every year, after all, everyone here is a veteran."
The company has gone public!
"Chief Mao! You are my god!!"
"How did you do it, Mr. Mao!? Tell us all about it!"
"Yes, yes, everyone is very curious."
Mao Weidong waved his hand, and the audience fell silent.
He wore a serious expression: "It's the quality!"
"For customers, the quality of the towel is always the most important."
"Gold will always shine."
The factory worker wiped away tears—
"Well said!"
"We've finally made it through!"
A week had passed since the incident where Li Yuan and Huo Xiao fought over a towel
Towels are falling from the sky.
500 truckloads of towels were transported from the supply warehouse.
No more using paper in the bathroom, just towels, and they last for 10 years!
The two fell silent.
Liyuan: "Your brother did it, right?"
Huo Xiao: "Your dad did it!"
