Chapter 116 Come to my sister
What is taking place online right now is not a vote, but a war.
There is no room for other candidates.
There are only two factions left on the Internet now, the Starlight Faction and the Bubao Faction.
Even many public figures have begun to receive various questions.
They were asked to choose between Starlight and Bruce.
What can they say? They can only play dead or remain neutral.
In a dark room, the display screen was on, illuminating a pale face and the smiling-like paint on her face.
"Found you, Bruce!"
She giggled strangely and stared at the screen intently.
An interview with Bruce is playing on it.
"I miss my parents all the time. They are the people I love most."
Bruce said in the picture, "I have thought countless times about living with my parents, just being an ordinary person, worry-free, and living happily every day!"
Hearing this, Martha's eyes showed a hint of hesitation, but she quickly became firm.
Everything must go according to the plan. As long as the plan succeeds, Bruce will be able to come back to him forever.
Martha said this to herself over and over again.
But when she saw the interviewer's next question -
"Who do you think of when you are most lonely?"
Bruce gave the answer without hesitation.
“I miss my mother the most!”
He said, "I have a vague impression in my memory that it was a very beautiful woman, I believe she is my mother!"
Martha tightened her grip and crushed the armrest of the chair.
Even though I know I can't waver at all, this... is really Bruce's face!
"Ho ho-"
She took several deep breaths before she calmed herself down.
"You damn owl, I will never let you succeed!"
Her eyes were filled with hatred and madness, and she wished she could find the owl hiding in the dark immediately and tear it into pieces!
But, an owl is an owl and Bruce is Bruce, the two are different!
There was no way Martha would attack Bruce.
That was her child, and she would feel extremely distressed if he was hurt in any way.
At this point, the interview has ended.
Martha remained silent and clicked play again.
Next to the video, countless comments are scrolling.
"Bruce is so handsome!"
"I feel so sorry for Bubao, he must love his mom very much!"
Seeing these comments, Martha couldn't help but smile!
The comments continue——
"Bruce, hey, my Bruce!"
"Poor little Bruce, I wouldn't mind being his mom!"
The corners of Martha's mouth, which had just raised, suddenly fell back down.
“I think Bruce’s dad must be a very decent man too!
"Yes, Bruce is so polite, he must have been influenced by his father when he was a baby!"
Martha's face became even uglier. Is old Thomas decent? Forget it!
He is a lunatic! A loser who can't even protect his own son!
Martha continued to watch, and suddenly, an extremely eye-catching comment caught her eye.
"Bruce Wayne is a piece of trash! He's ugly and incompetent! He must have made some shady deal with Vought Corporation behind the scenes!"
"So what if he's rich? Can money buy parents?"
Martha's face darkened instantly.
She clicked on the comment and it showed that it was a small account with no registered usernames or passwords.
Martha's teeth were grinding.
Even though I knew it was a trumpet, I couldn't help but start typing on the keyboard.
"Are all your family members dead? Can you scold Bruce?"
……
The war of words on the Internet is becoming more and more intense.
The two groups of fans have lost their minds and the conflict is so intense that it is irreconcilable.
And behind all this, the only beneficiary is Water Company.
The more the netizens argued, the more Water's stock price soared.
Looking at the vote numbers that were changing every moment, the executives of the Water Group began to feel happy.
The price was set low before, one dollar per ticket.
It should be set higher.
Besides ticket prices, they also had another worry at this time.
Between Starlight and Bruce, who should I choose?
The traffic of these two people has reached astronomical figures at this time, and they would feel painful if they gave up any one of them.
It would be nice if I could have both...
As long as both of them make it into the group of seven, there will definitely be a lot of topics in the future.
Bruce is still young now, so some topics cannot be hyped up, but if it is a spontaneous behavior of fans, Vought Company cannot do anything about it.
At this time, a small meeting was being held in the office of the vice president of Water Company.
The person attending the meeting was Madeline, the vice president of Water, and executives from various departments sat below.
"Starlight and Bruce, what do you think?"
She said, "Stop talking about following the results. These two people must join the team at the same time!"
Madeline had never imagined that this incident would be so popular.
In fact, Starlight alone is no match for Bruce.
His popularity is too high.
But a one-sided situation is not what Water Company wants to see, and Starlight himself is indeed very popular.
So Madeline fanned the flames behind the scenes. The video that Xingguang posted before was made by Madeline at the behest of Xingguang's mother.
After that, Water Company also specially bought a lot of exposure for Starlight.
Even with this, he could only barely tie with Bruce.
But the only good thing is that with such marketing efforts, Starlight has really accumulated a lot of real fans.
The popularity isn't entirely fake.
At this time, an executive raised an opinion: "We don't need to stick to the seven-member team setting, right? How about making it an eight-member team?"
"It's a good suggestion, but I won't do it again."
Madeline rejected it directly. "What's the difference between this operation and winning two championships in a talent show? Will our Water Company bow down to traffic?"
of course!
But they can't say!
Even if you are pretending, you must pretend to be fair.
Once the precedent of double championships is set, there will be endless troubles.
If there are two champions and a similar competitive draft happens afterwards, there won’t be such a high level of discussion and participation from fans.
"How about a combination?"
Another person suggested, "Let Xingguang and Bruce form a brother-sister group and debut together?"
"Are you serious?"
Madeline asked back, "Their fans are already quarreling like crazy, how can they still form a group?"
The executive suddenly stopped talking.
"Ugh!"
Madeline sighed. She had thought of countless ways these days, but couldn't find a satisfactory one.
Is it really that difficult?
Two gooses that lay golden eggs, she wants them all.
Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?
at this time--
Knock, knock, knock! There was a knock on the office door. Madeline frowned. Who was the blind guy knocking the door at this time?
"Come in!" she said bluntly.
The door opened, and Ashley, the vice president's secretary, walked in tremblingly, holding a tablet computer.
She looked horrified, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
"What's wrong?" Madeline noticed something was wrong, "Speak!"
"Ms. Madeline..."
Ashley was almost crying, "I have bad news."
"Speak!" Madeline said coldly.
Now, apart from Starlight and Bruce, everything else is just a small matter.
Is there any bad news that must be told here?
Didn’t you see she was in a meeting?
"It's the invisible man!"
Ashley burst into tears and said in horror, "He's dead!"
In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning pierced through Madeline's brain.
She slammed the table: "Great!"
Ok?
At this moment, all the executives, including Ashley, looked at Madeline with puzzled eyes.
"Cough cough!"
Madeline coughed a few times. "I mean, it's such a shame. What's going on?"
"We are still investigating the specific reasons!"
Ashley reported tremblingly, "But the invisible man's body has been found. He was sent directly to the company."
"Insanity!"
Madeline realized the seriousness of the problem.
Someone is provoking Water Company!
They killed their people and sent the bodies to the company.
This is no longer an ordinary gangster, we must use heavy punches!
But before that——
Madeline thought for a moment and said, "Don't make it public yet. The campaign between Starlight and Bruce is still going on. We will announce it on the last day."
Waiting until the last day to announce the Invisible Man's death means that there is an extra vacancy in the group of seven.
At that time, no matter whether the second place is Starlight or Bruce, they will be able to join the group of seven naturally without any objection.
And in this case, the second place is equivalent to gaining a revenge persona, which provides an additional marketing angle.
Madeline thought to herself, Invisible Man, Invisible Man, why didn’t I see that you are so considerate before?
I have to say it, you died at a really good time!
The greatest value of your life is the moment you are killed.
It's really great!
"That's it, you go down!" Madeline said to Ashley without changing her expression.
……
The heated election is over.
In the end, Bruce won the chance to join the group of seven, which made Starlight's fans feel heartbroken.
They all accused that there must be an inside story behind this, and fans of Xingguang must stand up and seek justice for Xingguang!
But before they took any action, good news came.
Because of the accidental death of the Invisible Man, there is an extra vacancy in the group of seven.
Starlight automatically qualified to enter!
Finally, everyone was satisfied.
……
Bruce got out of the car and walked on the red carpet.
There were countless cameras and flash lights all around.
This is a welcome party for the new heroes, and everyone is celebrating Bruce and Starlight joining the Seven.
Starlight walked beside Bruce.
"I'm sorry, Bruce." She whispered, "My mother forced me to make that video before. It was not my intention."
Bruce nodded, keeping his smile on his face, and continued waving to the reporters.
Yes or no, does it matter?
After a brief speech, they began their new heroic careers.
The superhero predecessors also showed their friendliness.
"Bruce."
At this time, Queen Maeve came to Bruce's side, "Let me show you around and familiarize you with the company!"
