Chapter 950
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Broly, but it's difficult for us to give you an exact reply."
"What do you mean?"
"Speaking from my own perspective as a practitioner in the PR industry, the members of the Hero Association's PR Department absolutely belong to the top tier of talent in this industry circle."
"Then why would this kind of situation still occur?"
"Speaking from my personal experience as a practitioner, the Hero Association has recently been facing enormous social public opinion pressure, and the unfavorable public opinion online regarding Miss Tatsumaki has a certain number of internet water armies behind it pushing the waves and adding to the storm."
"However, from a certain meaning, this kind of situation is also sharing the public opinion pressure for the Hero Association itself, after all, attributing the responsibility to the individual hero's person, the Hero Association faces much less public opinion pressure."
"You mean the Hero Association is intentionally conceding, not seriously dealing with the unfavorable public opinion online regarding Tatsumaki?"
Broly's expression became serious.
"This, Mr. Broly, I don't know if Miss Tatsumaki knows about this matter or not, so I also can't evaluate it too well."
"After all, if she herself knows, this counts as actively helping the Hero Association share public opinion pressure, and also counts as a link in PR tactics."
"Alright then, I'll go home and ask about the situation."
Hearing this, Broly's tone also relaxed.
【Go home and ask about the situation?!】
The Zeniru Group PR Department employees who had come here were startled in their hearts, but on their faces they wore an expression of having heard nothing.
Only after Broly left did some female PR Department employees start gossiping: "Mr. Broly, so it turns out you like women of Miss Tatsumaki's petite body type?"
"Hiss, isn't that just a Lolicon?!"
"No wonder, when I ran into him before, I threw flirtatious glances at him, but he didn't even look at me once."
A group of female PR staff chattered away.
"What are you all doing, Mr. Broly is also one of our bosses, discussing a superior's aesthetic preferences, is this something you subordinates should be doing?"
The PR Department Manager scolded them, only then extinguishing the group of female PR staff's high-spirited gossip.
After the subordinates all left, this manager stayed behind.
"Do you have something else?"
"Boss, I feel the PR Department might be able to expand recruitment of manpower."
"How so, is the PR Department's current manpower not enough?"
"No, it's just that in terms of female employees, I feel having only employees with a sexy mature style is somewhat not comprehensive enough."
"Then what do you mean?"
"We might be able to increase the diversity of employee styles, for example, employees of the type with petite figures, flat chests, loli physiques."
Zenier looked at the PR Department Manager before him, only feeling this person truly lived up to being a Zeniru Group PR Department executive, the other party's thoughtfulness completely matched their high salary.
"Incidentally add two employees with golden wavy hair."
"No problem, Boss."
Broly didn't know that the Zeniru Group PR Department, because of him, later added several legal loli female PR staff.
After he returned to his Z-City luxury apartment home, he walked straight into Tatsumaki's room, and Tatsumaki was wearing light pink sleepwear, lying on the bed reading a fashion magazine.
After Tatsumaki discovered Broly intruding, she immediately sat up, hid her pair of little feet into the quilt, a vigilant look appearing on her face, as if guarding against a thief wanting to steal her snacks.
"Broly, what are you coming in for, I'm telling you, don't think you can use the pretext of helping me massage to touch my feet again."
"I didn't come for your feet."
"Then why did you intrude, could it be you finally couldn't bear your own desire for me, wanting to force me to do that kind of thing in broad daylight?"
"It's not that either."
"Then what is this perverted little ghost coming in for?"
"I just wanted to come over and ask Tatsumaki-nee, do you know about the recent public opinion online, some targeting you?"
"What public opinion, I don't really surf the net much."
Tatsumaki, 28 years old, uses a mobile phone, but it's an old-fashioned flip phone, possibly due to lacking friends, her daily life leans more towards the older generation who don't use mobile phones much."
"It's just————"
Broly pushed and pulled, telling Tatsumaki the public opinion he had only learned not long ago.
"What the hell, I worked hard to defeat the monster, merely causing some minor damage in the process, those guys actually dare to pin the pot of house damage on my head?"
After hearing this, Tatsumaki's little chili pepper temper exploded on the spot.
"What's wrong, Sister?"
Fubuki came over hearing the commotion, followed by Seksu, seeing the two had sweat on their foreheads, they should have just come out from the Training Room after finishing psychic power confrontation training."
"Fubuki, you came at a good time, have your subordinates help me investigate————"
Tatsumaki immediately told the things about her being badmouthed by some people online."
"I want offline reality, they're not saying I wrecked their houses?
Then fine, if I don't wreck their houses right in front of them, that would be letting down their badmouthing of me!"
"Sister, calm down, you're a hero!"
"So what if I'm a hero, if you piss me off, I'll even tear down the Hero Association Headquarters!"
"Speaking of which, these statements aren't just made up by others, they're facts, right."
Behind Fubuki, Seksu spoke up.
"What facts? Facts slandering me!"
Tatsumaki immediately glared over, Seksu didn't speak, raised a hand and pointed at the fine cracks on the room's wall."
Tatsumaki looked along the direction of her finger, and also saw the cracks."
"This wasn't caused by me!"
"You rolled up that whole Ghost Town area, causing earthquakes, pulling at the ground surface — you don't think the impact was limited to just the Ghost Town area, do you?"
"Wuu————"
Although Tatsumaki is arrogant, she does not deny facts.
"Even if it has a bit to do with me, this was also to fight your Monster Association's Monster King. A hero solving a disaster caused some environmental destruction in the process — why blame it all on me? Isn't this also protecting them?!"
"If it's environmental destruction caused by a normal disaster, then indeed the hero who solved the disaster wouldn't be blamed.
But this time the Monster Association openly declared war on the Hero Association. Z-City residents with damaged homes, strictly speaking, are guys who got dragged into a war that had nothing to do with them.
The former is a hero who saved them in a crisis; the latter is the chief culprit who fought someone else and dragged them in, causing property loss. How could you think those people would view this rationally?"
Seksu's retort left Tatsumaki somewhat choked up. She felt a bit wronged, but also felt Seksu's words made quite a bit of sense.
"Damn it, if we're really talking about the chief culprit, your Monster Association is the real chief culprit!"
Tatsumaki had anger with nowhere to vent, so she could only glare angrily at Seksu and accuse her.
"I didn't say it wasn't."
Seksu shrugged her shoulders. The Monster Association's pot, and her, this mastermind who had already abandoned the Monster Association — what did they have to do with each other?
"You————"
"Alright, Sister Tatsumaki. Before I came, I asked the Zeniru Group's PR Department manager. The other side said there's someone behind the scenes, pushing some public opinion unfavorable to you on the Internet."
Broly's words were like opening a vent. Tatsumaki looked over directly, then asked with a menacing aura: "Speak! Which bastard is scheming against me?!"
"I came over actually to ask you — did you make an agreement with the Hero Association to step out and help share the public opinion pressure? But looking at your reaction now, definitely not."
"Wait, you mean the Hero Association pushed the pot onto my head?"
Tatsumaki widened her eyes.
"Whether they pushed the pot or not, I'm unclear. But the Hero Association's PR Department has not been active or diligent in handling the unfavorable public opinion targeting you on the Internet."
Broly spoke the truth.
"Big Sister doesn't pay much attention to news, doesn't pay much attention to the Internet. Those guys probably knew Big Sister's situation. After seeing unfavorable public opinion targeting Big Sister you on the Internet, they just went with the flow, wanting to throw part of the responsibility onto Big Sister your head————"
Fubuki's brain turned very fast; she figured out the crux of it in one go.
"Not pre————"
After hearing it all, Tatsumaki directly called the Hero Association Headquarters. The moment the call connected, she cursed a blue streak at the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Miss Tatsumaki. Regarding the Association PR Department's inaction on unfavorable public opinion targeting you on the Internet, the Association will certainly investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation."
Hero Association Headquarters. Listening to Tatsumaki's threat to dismantle the headquarters building, Disrespectful's forehead broke out in dense cold sweat. While promising Tatsumaki to investigate this matter clearly, he inwardly cursed the PR Department people for having donkey-kicked brains, daring to provoke this super willful Psychic Young Lady.
"Quick, go to the PR Department————"
Disrespectful, having hung up the phone, immediately took action.
"What's the matter, Director Disrespectful?"
"Those bastards in the PR Department, slacking off handling negative public opinion related to Miss Tatsumaki on the Internet. Now that she knows, if we don't investigate the situation clearly, this newly renovated New Headquarters Building might just get swept into the garbage heap!"
Hero Association Headquarters PR Department. Before long, it was a scene of chaos.
0.00
"Sorry, Miss Tatsumaki. It's our side's problem————"
"So, you're admitting you pushed the pot onto my head?"
"No no no. We just didn't promptly handle the negative public opinion targeting you on the Internet. It's all because of two new Interns who don't know better. They thought not handling this negative public opinion could ease the public opinion pressure on the Headquarters side."
"I guarantee the Headquarters PR Department absolutely did not, behind the scenes, fan the flames of negative public opinion targeting you on the Internet————"
"Miss Tatsumaki, very sorry. But also please consider the external public opinion pressure the Headquarters currently faces."
Evening. In the living room of Z-City's large flat where the city nightscape outside is visible, the returned Vivian had already learned some of the situation. Looking at Tatsumaki who had ended the call, she directly asked: "How is it, Miss Tatsumaki? What did the Hero Association side say?"
"What else could they say? Apologize, admit fault, fire two Interns I don't even know who they are, then have Disrespectful complain to me about how difficult the Hero Association's situation is now, telling me to be magnanimous and not pursue this matter further————"
Tatsumaki had a face full of displeasure.
"So you really agreed not to pursue it further?"
Seksu asked with some curiosity.
"Then what should I do? Really go dismantle the Hero Association Headquarters building?"
Tatsumaki replied in a bad tone.
"Not impossible. Anyway, you've dismantled the Hero Association Headquarters building before."
Seksu curled her lip.
"Fine. I knew you, this Monster Association remnant, still harbor the thief's heart to strike at the Hero Association!"
Hearing this, Tatsumaki flew into a rage, directly using psychic power to hoist Seksu up.
Psychic power turned into a whip. In the living room, the sound of Seksu's butt being whipped and her cries of pain soon rang out.
However, in stark contrast to the cries of pain, Seksu's Happiness Value in the Crystal Palace showed an increase.
This is an M, a hidden M. She always likes to provoke Tatsumaki, invite Tatsumaki's retaliatory strikes, and afterwards still puts on a resentful face, looking like she'll retaliate back someday.
"Big Sister, you're not pursuing the Hero Association PR Department side. Then those other people behind the scenes on the Internet pushing negative public opinion targeting you — are we still investigating?"
"Investigate. Why not investigate? I want to see just which bastards dare badmouth me behind my back."
"Big Sister, but after finding out, you won't really want to dismantle their homes, will you?"
Fubuki hesitated a bit.
"Hmph. Little Sister, in your eyes, am I that kind of person?"
【Yes!】
"How could that be, Big Sister. You're just sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.
"7
Fubuki replied insincerely. Tatsumaki, on the other hand, was very pleased.
"If it's verified as actual house damage, those guys badmouthing can badmouth all they want, but if guys whose houses weren't damaged dare to badmouth me, I'll make them regret it!"
Tatsumaki spoke ruthless words with unmatched fierce cuteness.
"For those with house damage, I've already discussed with Zenier — we can issue Future New City housing vouchers of equivalent face value as compensation based on the value of their house damage."
Broly added a sentence from the side.
"Housing vouchers?"
"Right, after all Tatsumaki-nee still caused some house destruction; some of the negative public opinion online is real, and I plan to use vouchers to eliminate those real negative opinions as much as possible."
"Broly Teacher, you're not trying to pull a voucher scheme, are you?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's raising the product price first, then only after using the voucher can it return to the normal price————"
Vivian explained the scheme.
"No, the vouchers I'm talking about can be used as money.
Of course, they're limited to offsetting purchases of Z-City Future New City real estate, and no change is given.
And if the voucher face value and the purchase payment are just right, the voucher holder doesn't need to pay a single cent more in cash."
"Hmm, although there are restrictions, this compensation strength is indeed not small; Zenier-san, he actually agreed to this kind of thing?"
Vivian was somewhat surprised.
"Because I used the shares of the construction company cooperating with him as collateral, plus this matter itself can suppress Z-City's current population loss and facilitate a large wave of real estate consumption after the new city is built, so, no problem."
Night fell, reaching the time to sleep; Tatsumaki stopped the Saiyan boy who was about to return to his room to sleep: "Broly, wait a moment"
"What is it, Tatsumaki-nee?"
Broly looked at her in puzzlement.
"My feet are somewhat sore; tonight you come to my room and massage them for me."
Tatsumaki said in a small voice.
"This massage of yours, wouldn't it be to make him stay overnight?"
Seksu asked.
"So what if it is? I'll have Broly massage longer; you unconvinced?"
Seksu still wanted to say something, but Fubuki pulled her.
"Then nee-san, wishing you a good dream tonight."
Hearing her younger sister's words, the tips of Tatsumaki's ears gradually climbed a thread of crimson; she twisted reluctantly and gave an "Mm."
"Broly, tonight I'll have to trouble you to properly take care of nee-san."
Fubuki pulled Seksu into the master bedroom's room; before closing the door she left Broly a meaningful look.
"Tatsumaki-nee, the voucher compensation matter, you actually don't need to mind it too much.
Broly looked at Tatsumaki, yet said.
"I'm not minding it at all; just making you come to my room to massage my feet."
Tatsumaki directly denied that tonight wanting Broly to help massage feet had anything to do with the voucher compensation matter.
"I'm actually not a foot fetishist————"
"Less nonsense, come with me into the room!"
Tatsumaki indiscriminately pulled Broly into her own room.
With a bang, the room door was slammed shut by her using psychic power.
