Chapter 43: Accumulated Anger
Early in the morning, Martin drove out of the Clayton neighborhood to the parking lot near Highway 265, and waited less than ten minutes before Barkley drove over.
The two cars were parked together, and Barkley got out of the car and handed the bag to Martin: "Everything is in there." ”
Martin opened his bag, where the recorder, camera, press card, and press card were there, and he pulled out the envelope and slipped it into Barkley's hand.
Barkley quickly counted and smiled with satisfaction.
Martin said, "Wait for me to call." ”
"It's okay, there's no hurry." Barkley was not very relieved, and reminded slightly: "You won't do anything illegal, will you?" ”
Martin said: "I am a civilized man, and I only use your newspaper name to attend the press conference of the Methodist Church. ”
Barkley nodded, got in the car and left, thinking about it, and always felt that something was wrong.
Martin drove to the club, entered the backstage dressing room, and took out the prepared makeup.
Bruce pushed the door in and asked, "Why didn't you let that reporter go?" ”
Martin opened his makeup bag: "Even if he was given money, he would not necessarily ask questions in a way that completely provoked a person." ”
Bruce said, "Man, I have a feeling that doing things with you is going to be done soon. ”
Martin asked rhetorically: "A civilized man who dares to use mortar shells to slap the British, afraid of a man whose brother is not good?" ”
"I'm afraid you'll blow up the earth!" Bruce saw Martin's skillful makeup: "You're still going to do this?" ”
Martin shrugged: "I'm an actor, Jack Davis......"
Bruce interrupted him, "I know, Jack Davis is the most versatile guy in the country, and you're his bastard son."
Martin snapped his fingers: "Congratulations, civilized man, you have learned a new skill - rush answer!" ”
Makeup was one of the few gains in his career as an actor in his previous life.
Martin finished putting on makeup, put on a wig, put on a pair of brown glasses, and changed into a well-fitting old-fashioned formal suit, like a conservative and dull middle-aged man.
Not a familiar person, it's hard to recognize him.
This was specially prepared by Martin according to the Methodist style.
The two got into the Ford, and Bruce drove the car to the Methodist training center, saying, "Be careful, don't be killed on the spot, the shit in your brain will fall out, and the whole world will know that you don't have a brain." ”
Martin pulled out his press card: "I'm a journalist now. ”
The car stopped near the training center, and Martin got out of the car, held up his camera, and took pictures of the crowd at the Beast's House in the women's union.
Arriving at the door, Martin blended in with the other reporters, showed his press card and press card, and entered the training center smoothly.
Martin also saw several acquaintances, female TV reporters who had interviewed him at the door of the Beast's house and male reporters from the Constitutional Newspaper.
Just in case, he automatically stayed away.
…………
The press conference was held in the lobby of the training centre, and Ms. Jennifer instructed the volunteers to set up the venue.
Elena took over the task of taping the names of the media involved in the press conference to the back of her chair.
The name of the StarWorld newspaper was pasted by her in the first row.
Jennifer said at this time: "There will be a question session in the news, and you need to hand over the microphone to the reporter who asks the question, and there must be one person on the left and right. ”
Elena immediately stepped forward: "Ma'am. ”
Jennifer remembered reporting Elena from the House of the Beast, a stalwart of Methodist volunteers, and nodded, "Okay, the left one is over to you." ”
On the other side, media reporters from Atlanta and Georgia, including Martin, prepared to enter the press conference.
Two staff members from the training center came over to hand out lunch vouchers.
The kind that can be used at any time at the high-end restaurants in the neighborhood is self-evident.
Martin then stuffed himself into his pocket, mingled with dozens of reporters, entered the venue, and quickly found a seat in the first row.
The press conference kicked off, chaired by Jennifer, and a representative of housewives who participated in the training took the stage to express her gratitude to the Methodist Society.
A member of the Atlanta City Council praised the work of the Methodist.
Milton took the stage to give a speech, angrily denouncing the absurdity of the liberal rhetoric and style, and reiterating his position.
When it came to the Q&A session, Jennifer was the first to point to the reporter of the Atlanta Constitutional Journal.
This is Atlanta's best-selling local newspaper.
The Constitutional Newspaper's reporter asked a decent question, and Milton responded with ease.
"Next question." Jennifer swept through dozens of reporters.
The reporters in the first two rows, including Martin, fell into her eye first.
The middle-aged male reporter who was dressed in old-fashioned, dull temperament and conservative clothes caught her attention just now, and immediately ordered: "This reporter in a gray suit." ”
Elena tried to be as natural as she could, and sent the microphone to Martin.
Martin took the microphone and said, "Mr. Milton, you are a legend in Atlanta, and your ideas and ideas have illuminated the land of the state. ”
As soon as these words came out, Milton's tense heartstrings as he faced the reporter relaxed slightly, and a faint smile hung on his old-fashioned face.
Just when the people's minds were relaxed, the knife handed out by Martin stabbed into the most painful place in people's hearts: "Are these caused by the cheating of your two ex-wives?" ”
Martin didn't wait for anyone to react, and said very quickly: "I interviewed Jessica and Lina, they said that the cheating was because of your incompetence, you couldn't satisfy them, but you refused to divorce them, and they cheated on other men in your bedroom and under your wedding photos out of helplessness. ”
The scene was silent for a moment, only Martin's voice: "The root of your ideas and ideas is because your brother can't look up to your beautiful wives and all women, right?" ”
All his words were directed at Milton's brother, blaming Milton's ideas and ideas on his incompetent brother: "So, your sexual impotence has caused you to be extremely conservative, right?" ”
Under normal circumstances, Milton's experience and experience are enough to ensure that he faces these vicious questions with a calm mood.
But the miscellaneous people of the House of the Beast, this week after day of protest and provocation.
The "cheating partner" of his second wife, Lina, humiliated Milton in public at the bar, and the news spread like wings, not only bar drinkers, but even community neighbors looked at him with strange eyes.
How do men endure it?
Milton even lost his safe haven from his wife's entanglement.
He replied coldly: "What is the sexual freedom they advocate? Abandoning morality, having no shame, succumbing to the promiscuity and indulgence of desire, what they pursue is never the realization of self-worth and social value, but the salt of men! ”
Those present knew that Milton was reasonable, and they also knew that liberal women did nothing but talk about it.
But no one dared to say it like him.
Jennifer winked at her assistant to stop Milton from continuing.
But the assistant prompted him several times, and Milton ignored them all.
In front of many news media, Milton can't be pulled down.
On the surface, Milton did not lose his temper, but the fire in his heart was burning: "They broke the shackles of social ethics and values, pursued the so-called liberation and freedom, and just wanted to make men's salt baking a toy for women!" ”
Jennifer gestured to the people on either side of the room, telling them to quickly take Martin's microphone.
"It's time for your question." Elena was the first to rush up and grab the microphone from Martin's hand.
She seemed to be pulling at Martin, but her tall body blocked the two male Methodist staff.
Martin's knife stabbed people in the most painful places: "Your two ex-wives, and those free women just for salting?" ”
These days, Milton's already healed scars have been uncovered little by little, and at the moment they are even more torn blood.
He said what was on his mind: "Those liberals, what else is there in their heads but salt? ”
Martin's hand is released, and the microphone is snatched away by Elena.
Although it was a little late, Jennifer was relieved to see Elena snatch back the microphone.
The press conference couldn't go on, and the reporters got enough fierce information, and there was no point in asking questions again, and it was the right way to go back and catch up with the draft.
Jennifer confessed two sentences and announced the end of the press conference.
The Methodist will have to deal with it.
Reporters scrambled to get out, some making phone calls as they went, asking newspapers or television stations to reserve space and time for news.
Two male Methodist staff members have been "protecting" Martin out.
With so many journalists present, they couldn't really do anything.
Exiting the training center's gate, Martin quickened his pace and turned to a nearby parking lot.
Bruce stood in front of the Ford and waited for him, disappointed: "You weren't killed." ”
Martin got into the car: "I'm a civilized person, I only do civilized things, and the Methodist will be very polite to send me out." ”
Bruce started the car: "Where to go?" ”
Martin took off his wig and put it away: "Go back and remove your makeup." ”
Back at the club, Martin took off his makeup and put everything away.
The meal voucher from the Methodist was still there, and he took it out and handed it to Bruce: "High-end cafeteria, you can bring a female companion." ”
Bruce snatched it up and exclaimed, "I really admire you for your stinky shit, you mess people up, and you take advantage of it." ”
"I regret it now and I'm going to get it back," Martin said. ”
When Bruce tucked it into his pocket, his coat was pulled back to reveal the pouch, "Are you sure?" ”
Civilized people appeared, and Martin took the initiative to back down: "Count me in for a treat." ”
The two left the club and headed to Route 265, where they waited for Barkley in the parking lot near StarWorld.
Martin gave it back to him and said, "I've got you a big piece of news, you listen." ”
Barkley turned on the voice recorder and listened carefully.
Bruce was also pricking up his ears to listen, glancing at Martin from time to time, this guy really had stinky shit in his head!
"Good, good, big news indeed!" Barkley was very excited: "It's a pity it's not exclusive. ”
Many stories automatically formed in his mind: "This will trigger a new round of public opinion war between conservatives and liberals, the most intense kind!" ”
Martin asked, "With your experience, where is the focus of public opinion?" ”
Barkley immediately replied: "Of course, the brother of women's freedom and men, and it's easy to stir up a topic on this side. ”
"Thanks, Mr. Buckley." Martin prepares to withdraw: "I wish you a Pulitzer Prize soon." ”
Barkley returned to his car and hurried back to the newspaper office to catch up on the manuscript, and for a long time to come, make up stories...... No, there is no shortage of material for news reports.
That night, what Milton said on the spot appeared on television news.
In this case, it is difficult not to cause controversy.
From the next morning, a large number of liberal women spontaneously gathered at the headquarters of the Methodist Church to protest Milton's remarks.
Newspapers and other print media were noisy.
The liberal and conservative media attacked each other, and Milton not only did not relent, but also reorganized the rhetoric at the press conference and published a sharper op-ed.
Public opinion in Atlanta exploded.
Conservatives have been deeply rooted in Georgia for many years, and simply took advantage of the situation to set off a storm of public opinion and attract the focus of all media attention to conservatives.
The Atlanta parliamentary elections are not far away, and the consequences are serious due to the lack of sufficient public attention.
