Thinking of several foals running wildly and neighing behind him, Zheng Qing was so frightened that he sobered up a lot.
"what should I do?"
He immediately became humble.
Linda Barnes had a satisfied smile on her face. She did not answer immediately. Instead, she took the piece of guava cake handed over by Xin, took a small bite, and licked it slowly for a long time with her lips pursed.
Then he replied slowly: "In fact, public opinion is easily disturbed, and so is public perception. You have to make everyone more confused before they wake up or have emotions."
"Confused?" Zheng Qing chewed the word and the honey puff in his mouth, feeling endless aftertaste.
"Everyone will chase those eye-catching topics, just like a fly chasing a smell or a moth chasing a flame. This is instinct."
The blonde witch took a sip of soda water, cleared her throat, and explained patiently: "...just like the scandals between you and Betsy, Vivian and others, because they are fresh and easy to understand, they are easy to spread in the rumor market.
Gain a large number of fans. I heard Banner tell you about your countermeasures - publish in newspapers to debate rumors, selectively state facts, spread the news that those witches have well-matched dating partners, turn a blind eye and wait for the rumors to subside, etc.
Wait - IMHO, these solutions may be able to deal with the noise in the school, because the number of students in the school is limited, you can easily distinguish which ones are noises and eliminate them one by one. But they are not enough to deal with rumors outside the school.
.”
"What if I refute those rumors one by one?" Zheng Qing still had a naive idea.
The queen sneered: "Then the benefit you get is equivalent to the small error when you use the scale to weigh the Aralia aralia powder."
Aralia aralia is a perennial deciduous small tree that is widely distributed. Its bark can be ground into powder, but its value is extremely low. Weighing it with a scale is a very labor-intensive task - in short, this
In other words, the price is huge but the gain is negligible.
Zheng Qing easily understood the meaning behind the witch's words.
"But as the saying goes, 'fight fire with fire', if you are attacked by rumors, you can naturally use rumors to escape." As if she guessed what the boy was thinking, the witch raised an index finger and waved it in front of her face: "I said I would use rumors to help you escape.
I’m not asking you to spread rumors to those people...but I’m going to continue to spread rumors to you.”
"Creating rumors for me?" Zheng Qing was completely confused.
"Facts do not mean truth, and rumors do not only have negative effects. As I just said, everyone always likes new and eye-catching topics. Therefore, Congressman Su's scandals, or her scandalous husband's scandals have always been popular, and
No one cares about the scandal about a certain fat blue guy."
She used herself as an example without changing her expression, completely ignoring that Fatty Xin was fidgeting beside him and Zheng Qing looked embarrassed.
"so……"
The blonde witch continued to explain: "People don't need to figure out your relationship with seven beautiful witches with different origins, nor are they interested in reading the proof of your non-parental relationship with an eight-foot-long pony.
...If you think those claims are ridiculous, then expand them and fill everyone's empty and boring life with more and more ridiculous rumors. If a piece of broken glass falls on the beach, everyone will immediately find its shiny
But when a pile of broken glass appears on the beach, everyone will just walk around and never get even half a step closer to them."
Zheng Qing raised the soda water in his hand and took a long sip silently.
"This is the most professional and clearest advice I have ever heard." Just listening to the witch's analysis, he felt as if the dust had settled and a big stone had fallen to the ground.
"She can help you scatter a large piece of glass without leaving any clues for the fortune teller to catch you." Fatty Xin looked proud.
"I'm not done yet!"
The witch frowned slightly and glared at the two boys. After seeing the two students sitting upright, she nodded with satisfaction: "Although those glass shards can scare the public away, they also really pollute the beach environment, that is, you."
image. Therefore, you need to take appropriate remedial measures afterwards...such as going in and out of certain public places with Councilor Su, or living in seclusion for a period of time to ensure that the sediment does not appear. This is very important, very important, very important.
"
She repeated it three times, and after confirming Zheng Qing's serious eyes, she continued: "...The reason why I say this is because if you perform well in this round of public opinion response, the entire wizarding world will have a deeper impression of you.
, a positive, positive impression. This is the best ticket for you to leave school, step out of the ivory tower, and enter the magical world. It can help you quickly gain a foothold outside school and even in the new world, just like..."
"It's like every cloud has a silver edge." A certain scene he had seen suddenly appeared in Zheng Qing's mind.
"What?" The witch raised her eyebrows.
"'Every cloud has a silver edge', this is an old proverb in my hometown." Zheng Qing quickly explained: "It means that everything has a good side, there is also a glimmer of light in the darkness, and there is a beautiful circle around the edge of a dark cloud.
of silvery white light.”
"It's a very apt description, that's what it means." Linda Barnes nodded slightly and changed the topic: "So back to our initial conversation... I confirmed your purpose and gave you a professional
suggestions, now we can talk about 'what I want'."
"You haven't said yet what new rumors you will create about me."
Zheng Qing looked at the other party's calm posture and suddenly felt a little flustered. He quickly interrupted with a dry smile: "...Do you want you to tell me first so that I can be mentally prepared?"
"Unprepared rumors are the best rumors." The witch simply refused and looked at him with a half-smile: "Moreover, letting those rumors spread throughout the alliance is also one of my tasks... If I tell them all now
Come on, if you ask Banner or some other family to handle it for you, what should I do?"
"I will never do that!" Xin immediately raised his hands and swore.
Zheng Qing looked at the witch's firm eyes and finally raised his hands: "What do you want?"
"Is your previous proposal still valid?" The blonde witch said something incomprehensible.
"What proposal?" Zheng Qing was confused for a moment.
"Replace the interview with Representative Su with an interview with the great sage of the North District." The witch replied concisely and concisely.
Zheng Qing reacted for a while before he remembered that this was the cooperation agreement he had reached with the witch during the Christmas dance, and he was suddenly surprised: "...haven't you already interviewed Professor Monteria?"
"Who would think there are too few exclusive interviews like this?"
Linda Barnes spread her hands and revealed her unabashed plan: "Just like this public opinion storm is your best ticket to enter the magical world, interview the two vice-presidents of Fringe Academy.
It’s my best ticket to enter the league after graduation.”
