Chapter 48 Public Relations Incident, Public Opinion Explosion
Starlight looked at the irrepressible smile on Xia Shang's face, and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that my superpowers are not as cool as laser eyes and super speed, but they are better than that fishman in the deep sea." β
"I'm curious, if you absorb a huge amount of electricity, can you turn yourself into light?" Starlight's lower limit of superpowers is very low, which does not mean that the upper limit is also very low, if you can transform yourself into light, it will be quite terrifying.
Starlight shook her head, though, "No, my body can't handle that much electricity. β
"Well, that's a bit of a pity."
While the two are making small talk, Starlight unexpectedly sees several hooligans bullying a girl in the distance.
"These two bastards." According to the rules of the seven-member team, Starlight must not act in private, but she still couldn't hold back, only to see her walk towards the two of them, "Someone has to teach them a lesson." β
Starlight was suppressing her anger as she was being followed by the deep, and the men were slammed into the muzzle of the gun.
Xia Shang silently took out his mobile phone and filmed Starlight using his superpowers to teach a few people.
"How?"
Starlight returns to her seat after rescuing the girl.
"It's just a bunch of gangsters who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard."
"Oh, it's getting late, I think I'll have to go back." Starlight glanced at the time on her phone and said apologetically.
Actually, she is still worried about what Shenhai just said, she is a member of the superhero seven, and once a love scandal is exposed, it may ruin everything for her.
"Do you need me to send you back?" Xia Shang asked very gentlemanly.
"Thanks, I don't think so."
Starlight smiled at the fallen thugs.
When Starlight's figure disappeared from view, Xia Shang continued to drink the coffee in his hand, and could see the corners of his raised mouth gradually disappearing, and in the dim light, his face distorted into the appearance of another person.
"It seems that you are really obsessed with everything now, why don't I help you."
Next.
Starlight had just woken up and was brushing her teeth when Ashley from the PR department hurriedly found her.
Ashley pointed her phone screen at her, and the video above was the same image of her using her superpowers to teach the gangsters last night.
"Oops." Starlight immediately realizes that the problem seems to be a bit serious.
"It's too bad, I'm really glad you were wearing civilian clothes at the time, so that netizens could reveal your secret identity, you listen to this." Ashley was sarcastic as she clicked on the comment section of the video.
"Oh my God, I recognize Starlight, it's Anne Jennex Ari! She and I were classmates at Hoover High School, and she had anorexia. β
Ashley read the comments in a weird way, to be honest, she was so angry with Starlight that she raised her hand at Starlight and said, "First of all, it's stupid to do this, and secondly, it's even more stupid to be filmed doing this kind of thing, remember to always find the location of the camera." β
"They were about to rape a girl." Starlight tries to defend herself, but is interrupted by Ashley.
"What girl? There's no girl in the video, do you know her name? β
"I don't know, she ran away."
Ashley continued, "Great, she ran away, do you know her name?" Can she be found among the tens of millions of people in New York? β
"You know what? The guys you knocked out, insist they were just drinking on the side of the road until you knocked them out. β
Faced with Ashley's accusations, Starlight didn't know any excuse for a while.
The video on the Internet was obviously maliciously edited.
"Someone is deliberately framing me, as long as you find out who called up the roadside surveillance, you can find the real culprit behind the scenes." Starlight had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said quickly.
"Do you think we're the FBI? You can check whoever you want? Ashley didn't expect Starlight to be so naΓ―ve.
"Listen, this thing is fermenting very quickly on the Internet, and now that the public opinion has exploded, I don't know what you plan to do on this beautiful day, but you have to cancel all the activities, you need to have a meeting, you need to have a meeting with the risk assessment department, the crisis management department and the legal department."
"I'm going to go crazy, Shet." Ashley has been so angry with the stupid Starlight that she spits expletives.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the office of the security department on the first floor of the Walter Building, Xia Shang was holding a Coke and leisurely watching the American drama playing on the computer screen.
"Oh man, you're fishing again, and believe me, even Jesus would envy your current life." Baruch pushed open the door and sat down next to Xia Shang.
"I think he should be more envious of you."
"Have you heard? Now the whole Internet has exploded, tsk tsk, Starlight, who just joined the group of seven, uses her superpowers to wantonly beat ordinary people, the title of that video is really amazing, it is estimated that Ashley's side is about to go crazy. Baruch stooped down to pick up a can of Coke from under his desk, gloating.
"The speed of public opinion fermentation on the Internet is really fast."
Xia Shang picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the little blue bird, and saw that Starlight's fans had dropped from the original 18.63 million to the current 15.42 million, a drop of more than three million, and Starlight's comment area had fallen, basically accusing Starlight of abusing superpowers.
He looked at the account of the motherland again, and the current number of fans of the motherland is 72.31 million.
And the comment area of the motherland is peaceful.
Bite! The motherland just sent out the first little blue bird today, which was a selfie with a sunny smile.
"Who's to say it isn't, it looks like I'm going to have to be a little more careful when I go out in the future."
Baruch sighed.
"Who are you? Diplomatic hero? Xia Shang's words caused Baruch to laugh.
While the two were chatting, Starlight called.
"Hey, I saw that video on the Internet, I know that you were framed, and I can understand your feelings at the moment."
"Oh God, I need you to testify to me now, I used my superpowers to teach those gangsters a lesson last night to save a girl." Starlight said anxiously that she was now afraid that the Walter Group would fire her for this matter.
Xia Shang was very calm, and even took the time to touch the Coke in his hand with Baruch on the side.
"But netizens know that I am an employee of Walter Group, and what I say has no credibility in their eyes."
Xia Shang's words made Starlight despair.
She leaned against the wall of the toilet and slowly slid down until she collapsed on the floor.
"Are you still listening? Maybe I have a way to fix this, because I saw someone taking pictures at the time, and if I can get the video in his hand, then the truth will be revealed. β
"Great, where's that guy?" Starlight is like a fish on the shoreline, she said in an excited tone.
"I'll help you find it through my connections, I guess it won't take long."
"Thank you, I'm really sorry for your trouble."
Starlight sat on the floor of the toilet, holding her phone in her arms, relieved.
