Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1770: Chapter 1413: Public Opinion Is a War, Part 2

If Mayor Gordon can’t protect himself, then on our side, it’s like a fire at the city gate affecting the fish in the moat.

”If we ignore it, are we going to be in trouble?” Grace couldn’t help but ask again.

Bai Xiaosheng stuffed the last piece of toast into his mouth, took a large sip of coffee, and then said, ”Yes.”

”Then what do we do!” Grace, who now had immense faith in Bai Xiaosheng, immediately became nervous at his words.

If there is trouble this time, it would be enormous trouble, especially since public opinion is involved.

What is public opinion? Sometimes, it’s a war!

”Leave your concerns to me, rest assured! I’ll handle everything!” Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he put the coffee cup back on the tray, and couldn’t help but burp, ”So full!”

Hearing this, Grace felt inexplicably reassured, as if any problem Bai Xiaosheng intervened in was no longer a problem.

In fact, Bai Xiaosheng had long anticipated the current situation; it’s also one of the reasons why he stayed in Haru City for a day!

Haru Municipal Government, Mayor’s office.

Joseph also received the news and hurriedly rushed to report to Mayor Gordon.

The first article in the barrage of public opinion was actually released in the early morning, then one became two, two became three, and spread rapidly across the entire internet.

Local and Benzhou media are very enthusiastic about this matter. Even branches of the major media are reprinting reports.

One after another, commentary articles are increasing rapidly.

”The mastermind behind this is Berman; this is beyond doubt! Not only have the media that have always been close to him joined in on the criticism against us this time, but even the local and Benzhou media that were originally friendly toward us have turned their backs. They must have been secretly persuaded! I fear they see hope in his appointment and are currying favor in advance!” Joseph said anxiously, ”Mr. Gordon, what do we do now?”

Gordon’s face was clouded over.

He wasn’t angry at Berman’s sudden move, but rather furious at those media that used to be friendly now turning against him without a word.

His family had spent no small fortune to draw in those media resources, only to find now that some people are truly unreliable.

”Berman really wants to put me in a deadlock this time!” Gordon said harshly, ”Don’t think I have nothing up my sleeve here! Release everything, send it to the media that still support us! Also, count in all the media that can publish articles, and release them all together!”

”If I go down, he shouldn’t think he’ll have an easy time either!” Gordon said angrily.

Joseph nodded, but his expression remained grave.

As it stands, they have already lost the initiative in public opinion!

The other side has already planted seeds of impression in the minds of the people; reversing this impression will be extremely difficult.

Just then, someone rushed in to report, saying that there were demonstrations appearing successively in the city center and other places.

Those people were protesting against Mayor Gordon’s inaction, demanding his immediate resignation!

Joseph couldn’t help but look at Gordon, whose eyes were already bloodshot.

”Berman, you’re truly a ruthless person! When you strike, it’s both online and offline, going straight for the kill!”

”Mayor!” Joseph couldn’t help but look at him with concern.

”No worries, I can actually control it now!” Mayor Gordon’s face showed a grim smile, ”Besides, we have a trump card now!”

The most aggressive attack Berman made was saying he was inactive, didn’t fulfill numerous promises made back then, and hasn’t brought development to Haru City!

A few days ago, Gordon would have been at a loss for words to refute, but now, it’s different.

The three giants of the wine industry are coming to Haru City to hold a large wine festival, expected to explode across all of Europe!

Although it was Bai Xiaosheng who facilitated it, the credit is listed under his name!

Once this news is out, local citizens will surely be shocked to know that Gordon isn’t completely inactive!

If this is operated well, he might even suppress Berman!

”The most crucial thing now is for us to find a strong, large enough media outlet to promote this matter!” Gordon frowned and muttered.

Preferably, it should be a national-level media!

However, time is tight, and making a solo announcement may not be credible, so he must contact the three giants and get approval for the news to be published.

Just as Gordon was pondering this, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw the name displayed, immediately feeling energized, and quickly answered the call.

The caller was Bai Xiaosheng.

”Mr. Bai!” Mayor Gordon greeted with a smile, his tone extremely courteous.

Bai Xiaosheng is not only a friend of the royal family but can easily bring in the three giants of the wine industry and effortlessly create a wine festival that shakes Europe!

Mayor Gordon naturally dared not delay.

”You have seen the news, right, Mayor Gordon?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile on the phone, ”Berman has indeed hit hard.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s cheerful voice put Gordon at ease.

”Thank you for your concern, I am actually planning a counterattack,” Mayor Gordon said with a smile, ”He’s ruthless, but I won’t be weak either!”

”So what are you going to do on your end?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

To Gordon, Bai Xiaosheng unexpectedly turned out to be a benefactor, and what’s more, he has conflicts with Berman.

Gordon didn’t hide from Bai Xiaosheng and immediately said, ”I will be announcing Haru City’s cooperation with the three giants of the wine industry to defeat Berman’s offensive against me, and then release the problems we collected about him for a counterattack.”

The war of words, in terms of content, plays on sensationalism and reversal.
