Chapter 631: Reversal!
Translator: Lordbluefire
When Karl opened his phone, the corners of his lips still had a smile.
In his imagination, there should be messages all over the internet scolding Jing Zhen right now.
Jing Zhen’s influence must be gone, and the people’s hearts were lost. He would soon become their prisoner.
As he thought about this, he looked at the comments.
The first few were from the internet trolls he had paid for, all scolding Jing Zhen.
The number of likes was quite high…
But when he refreshed the page, that comment was suddenly pushed to second place, and the number of likes for the first-place comment had reached over ten thousand.
Keep in mind that Country A only had a few million people, so having a comment with tens of thousands of likes was quite an impressive feat.
Karl stared at the comment, which read:
—A global technological challenge that no one can overcome has been conquered by His Majesty the King? Am 1 the only one who suddenly feels that the King is really amazing and powerful?
Karl was dumbfounded.
What on earth was this?
Below this comment, there were also a lot of replies:
—Oh my God, if 1 had accomplished this, 1 would have made it known to the world. Was His Majesty the King keeping it a secret because he feared that releasing it would harm humanity? Suddenly, 1 feel that important figures are indeed amazing. I feel so guilty thinking about my own shallowness!
—Ah, friends, guess what 1 found out? The King’s daughter, our Princess, is also the famous Prof. Z of China! Oh my gosh, how did the royal family’s brains grow? Why are they all scientific giants?
—The royal family’s part-time work is so impressive, how can we not love them?
—Please, with these genes, Your Majesty the King should have more children! If the King can’t have more children, then the Princess should! Don’t waste such good genes!!
Apart from these compliments, another comment suddenly appeared in the thread:
—Oh, my friends, my cousin works for the United Nations, and I just heard some explosive news. Do you want to hear it?
Everyone replied that they wanted to hear it.
That person then left another comment:
—Actually, this technology is being researched all over the world, but only our King has succeeded. Now, the United Nations wants to steal the patent! The UN exposed the King’s crimes to guide public opinion and make us give up on the King. They are so evil! Is it wrong for the King to have researched and developed this technology? But the King has never made this technology public or used it for harmful purposes! He just wanted to study it! Moreover, His Majesty the King went to China for more than 20 years because of this technology! He would rather be a son-in-law in China than use this technology. How great is our King?!
As soon as this news came out, the people of Country A exploded.
Jing Zhen instantly became the representative of the words ”handsome” and “pitiful,” and for a time, people across the country shouted in their hearts
(We can’t let them take His Majesty the King away!)
(His Majesty the King is the leader of our Country A, and we will defend him to the death!)
These comments completely overturned Karl’s understanding and were completely different from what he had imagined.
He was dumbfounded.
His subordinates also rushed in urgently. “Mr. Karl, this is bad!”
Karl slowly put down his phone and threw the glass in his hand at his subordinate. “I’ve already seen it! What are you doing? You didn’t find any of this? They have controlled public opinion!”
The subordinate didn’t dare to dodge, and the glass hit him. It then fell to the ground, and the whiskey spilled on the floor.
“This is called the mentality of ‘admiring the strong’.”
At this moment, Shen Qianhui was explaining to a group of people from the PR department, “Our society is developing very rapidly now, and everything is different from the past. The values of everyone have been reshaped. Although the things studied by His Majesty the King may indeed be harmful to humanity, the King has not published or released them. Moreover, I specifically mentioned that he went to China to keep this secret. In an instant, the King’s character has been elevated, and the people will certainly love him more!”
The staff of the PR department was stunned by Shen Qianhui’s manipulation of the situation.
They had never thought it could be played like this.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze at Shen Qianhui changed, from disrespect to reverence.
Jing Zhen personally supported Shen Qianhui’s arm. “Wife, the direction of public opinion on the internet is under control now. Please go back and rest.” After that, he said to the people in the PR department, “If you have any problems in the future, find the Queen!”
He didn’t even glance at the former PR department director, and he helped Shen Qianhui out the door.
Outside the door.
Chu Cichen and the guard of the royal palace were still standing there. The two had just heard the exclamations coming from the room.
The exclamations were mixed with disbelief and astonishment.
It was clear that something had happened.
The guard sneered at Chu Cichen, “Did you hear that? Something happened! As soon as the Queen entered, they would definitely push everything onto her. 1 just tried to stop the Queen from entering, all for her own good!”
Chu Cichen, however, still stood quietly beside him, with an incredibly confident expression on his face. He smirked and said, “Really? Let’s wait and see then.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jing Zhen helping Shen Qianhui out of the doorway….
