Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 932 - 353: The One-Man Show to Reassure the People (Part 2)

The slightly chubby man hurriedly nodded and shook his head, "Minister Zhang, I’m just, just a little excited. After all, you’re my idol, and suddenly being able to speak with my idol, I haven’t quite come to terms with it yet."

Zhang Beixing nodded secretly.

A mature middle-aged man indeed, quite adept at flattery, very good, I love hearing this kind of talk.

"Quickly, what’s your question? There are others waiting behind you."

Indeed.

The slightly chubby man had already felt it.

At least a hundred murderous gazes were already fixed on him, just because he was delaying.

Zhang Beixing only allocated ten minutes for this round of questions.

What can you do in ten minutes?

Isn’t it just inviting seven or eight people to ask questions? That’s brilliant.

But how many reporters are there here?

Just now, there were three or four hundred people raising their hands!

Holy moly, the odds of five or six dozen to one fell on you, and here you go, stumbling over your words!

How angry it made everyone else feel!

"Minister Zhang, I want to inquire whether the two missiles of Wu Country were related to you, one being stolen by you and the other launched in retaliation against you?"

"?"

As soon as this question was raised.

Silence enveloped the scene.

Very quiet, with quite a few people becoming so tense that even their breathing was stifled.

As if this question would very easily affect Zhang Beixing’s murderous gaze to find its real target.

But the result surprised many people.

Zhang Beixing did not get angry.

Nor did he stare at the chubby reporter with a devouring gaze.

He merely laughed loudly after a few seconds of silence.

"Indeed, you media entrenched in capitalism are deep in your ways. I will investigate you later, but not now."

"I hope your bosses are smart enough to start planning an escape early, or else they’ll be done for."

After these remarks, Zhang Beixing started to answer the question.

"You asked whether those two missiles are related to me?"

"My answer is simple: Yes!"

"That one missile stolen from Wu Country wasn’t stolen by me nor arranged by me to be stolen, but I did watch it being stolen personally."

"As for how things were such a coincidence, that though it wasn’t me who stole it, it landed exactly where I wanted it to land, according to my idea."

"The reason is quite simple, even though I didn’t arrange for it to be stolen, the person who stole it is someone I know. She came to me asking where to launch it because she didn’t know where to place it after stealing it. Wouldn’t it be a waste to give up after all was done?"

"In terms of valuing the hard work and gains of the populace, I am certainly not negligent."

"Since someone went through such effort to steal it, while I was there watching, what’s the harm in giving a suggestion?"

"I told her that this place is good, there are no ordinary residents living there, and it is within missile range, isn’t that ideal? And it directly knocked down an infamous Black Society Team."

Zhang Beixing spoke confidently and logically.

For a moment.

Everyone recognizes that Zhang Beixing’s comments are indeed problematic, but yet struggled to find grounds to refute them.

For a moment, there was bewilderment, "Minister Zhang seems to make some sense?"

As everyone was still pondering, Zhang Beixing directly pointed out the next person who wanted to ask a question.

Because nobody wanted to miss out.

The reporters simply raised their hands high.

One hand in the air, this gesture...

Cough cough cough.

"You, yes, the one with the blonde curls wearing a princess dress."

"What? You’re not a reporter, you’re just here for the spectacle?"

"Why are you up so close just to spectate? Where did you get the press pass around your neck?"

"Oh, you pinched it while someone was in the restroom?"

"You’ve been drawn, I don’t want to pick anyone else now, go ahead, what’s your question?"

"..."

Zhang Beixing picked a second person.

This person is even more infuriating than the chubby one!

A stolen work badge, and stolen from a restroom at that.

As a result, someone who isn’t a reporter squeezed to the front row, Goodness, what amazing luck.

"What’s your question, hurry up and ask it."

The girl thought for a moment, then asked, "Minister Zhang, I want to ask a question unrelated to this press conference, is that okay?"

"It’s up to you, you can ask whether I had lunch, as long as these peers behind you agree, oh sorry, I forgot you’re not a reporter, they’re not your colleagues."

These words made the girl giggle non-stop.

She was relatively young, though she had long blonde curls, her voice was certainly sweet.

After laughing for a while, she finally asked, "Minister Zhang, I want to ask if you’re married?"

"Hmm? Not yet."

"Do you have a girlfriend then?"

"Well, there is one?"

The nearby reporters were about to go mad.

This girl is more ridiculous than the fat guy before!

It wouldn’t be enough just to crash the event, after all, you’re only here for the spectacle, even if you were a real reporter it wouldn’t matter.

The scoop Zhang Beixing revealed this time is huge.

For those media companies, as long as the scoop is big enough and the news sensational enough, it doesn’t matter.

But after all this time, what’s even being asked?

Now with three minutes passed.

Really angry, those reporters not picked are gnashing their teeth in frustration.

What is all this nonsense!!!

"Why do you have one? And it sounded like a question sentence, does Minister Zhang have many girlfriends?"

Zhang Beixing looked at this girl.

Big eyes, curved lips.

The smile clearly not innocent.

This person, there’s something shady!

Zhang Beixing directly skipped answering her question, and pointed to the next reporter.

Seeing Zhang Beixing wouldn’t pay attention to her, she became anxious.

"Minister Zhang! Since you have more than one girlfriend, why not count me in too! I’m really fond of you! I’m willing to be a mistress!!!"

At these words, suddenly, everyone on the scene looked over.

"??? "

Zhang Beixing’s gaze had to shift back to the girl.

Seeing her jubilant demeanor, Zhang Beixing’s face twitched slightly.

"Say one more word and I’ll have security escort you out."

Really.

Such matters.

How can you say them in public?

Isn’t this affecting my reputation?

Luckily, this isn’t a live broadcast news conference.

Otherwise, this would’ve truly been laughable.

If you really have that intention, can’t you mention it privately? Or slide a card into my hand when we pass by? Then at midnight I hold the card...

Cough cough!

Right, there are many other ways, you can’t put things out in the open, really, it could be troublesome.

Zhang Beixing directly ignored her.

Pointed to the youngest-looking reporter among the men.

This reporter seemed a bit timid.

After being called, he appeared awkward, somewhat unequipped, as if he dared not look at Zhang Beixing.

This, however, intrigued Zhang Beixing.

This kid...

What’s the story?

"Do you have any questions for me? You should be the last one."

Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

Originally, he planned on asking five or six people within ten minutes.

Unexpectedly, the two nerves before had already cost seven-plus minutes.

In the remaining two-plus minutes, picking one more reporter would be decent.

Zhang Beixing certainly wouldn’t purposely extend the press conference’s time for the purpose of letting these reporters ask a couple more questions.

If by original plan, extending the time would hardly matter.

But not now, one team was just hammered abroad like that, while he was having a grand press conference domestically, boasting about the establishment of the second team, it’s really a bit inappropriate.

Regardless of considering the mood of the first team or the citizens, it’s not suitable to do so.

Thus this showcase event almost turned into a solo talk show by Zhang Beixing to stabilize the community’s feelings.
