It was a quiet afternoon, and the students were allowed a half-day break after their morning lessons, so they went out after lunch, and now only Eric and Parker's old couple remained in the office.

Without the enthusiasm of the young people, the building seemed empty, and Eric finished his business, and came down from above to talk to Ben and Mei for a while, and while they were talking, the students hurriedly pushed open the door and came back, looking at them hiding behind the door and looking out, as if they were being chased by a group of predators.

"John, what's wrong with you?" The students went out happily and came back dressed in wolves, and Eric laughed at their disheveled appearances.

John stammered, he was the most embarrassed of his classmates, his clothes ripped in several places, and his face had lip prints of different shades.

"It seems that your little girlfriends are very enthusiastic." Eric laughed. "But you need to be careful, and I personally think you can be a little more modest."

Hearing his words, the students laughed under their breath, and their nervous expressions were gone.

"It's not like that." John was embarrassed and quickly argued. They were spotted while they were out shopping, and then the young mutant heroes were surrounded by a large number of fanatical fans, and under John's leadership, they were not scattered, and it was unknown how many names they signed and how long it took to escape from the crowd.

"I don't know if they're in our office yet, I'm afraid they'll catch up again." Alicent said with a bitter face, stroking the corners of her water-red lips as she spoke, just bumped into the microphone by a reckless reporter sticking out of the crowd.

"Sooner or later." Eric, usually when the students go out, they will dress up to make them look different from the ones on TV, but after a long time, the vigilance gradually relaxed, so today's scene appeared.

It's good to teach them a lesson.

However, this is not a big deal, the office is not a branch of the college. Since it was built in the bustling city of Manhattan, sooner or later it will have to be made public and receive guests from all walks of life, so that ordinary people can know more about the college, and the college can also attract more mutant compatriots.

But in this way, his plan will have to be advanced, and with the skills of this group of young people now, it is impossible not to be fooled by the media, and they must have the most basic understanding of the public opinion circle.

"You rookies." Eric clapped his hands, drawing the students' attention back. "Looks like I'm going to get you a public relations consultant. lest you be troubled again. ”

After he said this, the advisor arrived that day, and it was Christine. Miss Evocht, Lady Mora's niece, was the first journalist to give an interview to Eric. So far, almost all of the mutant news related to Xavier Academy has come from her, which has made her proud lately.

Miss Reporter is worthy of being her own person, the relationship is reliable, and she is also very familiar with the unspoken rules of the industry. She smiled at the students and inadvertently gave them a profound lesson in media relations.

"You have to understand that not all media is friendly to mutants. As long as there are people who like to see that mutants are threatening, they will continue to report negatively. There is no such thing as an impartial media. Most of the butts decide the head, and now because your act of salvation is in line with mainstream public opinion, the media has a natural incentive to report on you positively, but when the heat passes. They would return to their original positions again. You see, there's nothing more eye-catching than creating a new god than pulling the holy new god off the altar, when they will not only change their tone. It could be even crazier concocted events. ”

Concocted events? The innocent students are confused, and Christine takes them further in.

She turned on the projector and showed a few pictures for everyone to see.

One is Sandy. The Duncan Elementary School incident, and the other is another photo of the shooting, in both of which the same person appears, and although she is covered up, the student quickly recognizes her under the guidance of the counselor.

This is a woman interviewed by N, who claims to be the parent of a student at the school in the first image, and in the second picture, who is the murderer's lawyer - in fact, neither identity is real, she is a professional journalist, and she and her husband are both in different news stories and in different capacities. In order to prove this, Christine continues to take out photos or videos of different occasions and different identities, and if these are true, then this lady's abilities are comparable to that of Raven, a great man with a thousand faces.

Not long ago, a 15-year-old girl who claimed to be a nurse in a Central Asian country gave a false testimony in Congress, claiming to have witnessed a scene of the Ten Commandments gangsters publicly killing babies and poking the corpses in the local area, but it was later revealed in the industry that she was the daughter of the country's ambassador to the United States, who had been trained in a public relations film company, and it was later confirmed that this false testimony was being arranged by a public relations film company.

There are so many more incidents like this that students can't believe any news reports after watching them.

"Isn't there anyone who debunks them?" Katie impulsively raised her hand and asked, mutants have also experienced skin pain, and those fake news of mutants attacking innocent humans have misunderstood her compatriots.

Her question is destined to be unanswered, because no one will notice whether it is fraudulent or not, the media has the eyes and ears of the people, and perhaps the various newspapers and television stations have their own interests, but when this kind of behavior becomes an unspoken rule that generally exists in the industry, who will take the initiative to expose themselves at that time.

And these events are not pure.

In the first act, a financial scandal is raging, and grieving parents and unscrupulous lawyers help the financial community escape the blame of the public; The second act of action provided ample excuse for the White House and the military to cut back on spending and shift spending on people's livelihoods to support for military operations.

A group of arms companies, represented by Stark Industries, are the direct beneficiaries of this change, and of course there are many more indirect beneficiaries.

In the face of many shady scenes, students began to be confused, how to deal with the media?

Miss Advisor gave her advice.

"Confidence!" Christine raised her finger and looked at the young man below, and admonished seriously: "Not only must you be strong, but you must also be strong inside, face the ill-intentioned reporters like dangerous flames and thugs, release your confidence from every inch of your skin, as long as you are not stage frightened, the media will not dare to play with you lightly." You know, no one is infallible, but the public is more reluctant to see a fearless hero than to be wrong, and if they do, they will doubt what you have done, and when the reporter shows that, they will amplify that suspicion. Trust me, no one can stand up to a magnifying glass. ”

"What if someone insists on scandalizing us?" John asked the question that everyone was most worried about.

On this point, Miss Reporter pointed her finger at Eric, which was his job.

Eric smiled, reassuring the students.

"Miss Christine has a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the world of public opinion, and is our most reliable public relations consultant, and you need to learn from her carefully so that you will not be sold as a pig."

He said gently, his attitude was so good that he immediately attracted the opposition of the students.

"We're not piglets." Lorna led the protest.

"It depends on whether you're smart or not." Eric smiled, then took his leave.

Coming to the hall, Ben was waiting for him.

"Sir, you need a full-time secretary." The old man shook his head and said. "I can't handle those crazy guys who can ignore the news for the sake of the news."

"That's right, Ben." Eric nodded, Mr. Parker was still in good spirits, but after all, he was in his sixties, and he occasionally forgot something, so he was already thinking about it.

"Do I hire one, or do I ask someone I know to help me find one?" He groaned, looking back down the hall, the result of his hard work, hoping to recruit a reliable and competent staff.

"That person is me." A pleasant female voice came from behind him, and Eric looked back, and Mary Jane was standing at the gate, accompanied by Peter.

"Don't you have to stay with Harry?" Eric asked, surprised.

"Harry has a life of his own, and I want to find a place closer to Broadway." Mary Jane replied casually, and handed the handbag to Peter by the way, and Spider-Man, who was admired by everyone, hurriedly took it over and helped her take her luggage away.

His uncle and aunt looked at his nephew's appearance and shook his head helplessly, Ben originally wanted to recommend his nephew, in his opinion, following a rich hero is undoubtedly much more promising than taking photos on the street.

While the Parkers were helpless, Mary Jane continued to try to impress her employer.

"I've thought about it, I still have to live a good life on my own as I had hoped before. Harry is a good man, but we don't live in the same world, he's a rich young master, I'm just a small town girl, I like to live casually, I don't want to be trapped in his mansion and live hypocritically. ”

Eric was unmoved.

"If you become a star later, you will become hypocritical then."

"But then there will be a process of adaptation, rather than passive acceptance as it is now." Mary Jane's tone was light-hearted, but her actions were desperate, and if Eric didn't agree, she would have to find a place to shelter her again.

Eric thought about it for a moment and didn't say no.

"If you can convince Harry, come back to me then."

As he spoke, Peter ran back, and after saying goodbye to them, Eric turned back to the top floor, and he was in a better mood.

Anyway, this position is basically solved. (To be continued!)
