Chapter 115 Reputation Promotion
There is still quite some time before Gu Jiaying's wedding, and before that, unless it is necessary under special circumstances, Lin Guantang does not intend to convey any information to him or ask about any progress.
Everything allows Gu Jiaying to play freely.
Lin Guantang had no contact with Dai Zhourong, and it was even more impossible for him to know the structure of the place where he lived.
He also couldn't call on the Central Military Academy's Intelligence Department for help - after all, this was a private plan between him and Huo Shizhen, and it was not within the scope of the Central Military Academy's mission.
Also, the one who is truly in danger of his life is Gu Jiaying himself. Only he himself knows clearly what to do, what he should do, and what he can do.
Under such circumstances, if Lin Guantang forced command from a distance or contacted him frequently, it would only backfire and easily alert the enemy, making him realize that something was wrong with Dai Zhourong, which would be more counterproductive.
If an ant already in your hand breaks into your secret room, you won't be alert at all. But if you find that there is an elephant behind the ant that is powerful enough to trample the house, you will not just let the ant run around and wait for death.
In short, Lin Guantang just treated it as an ordinary dinner, forgot about it afterwards, and never asked about his affairs again.
Gu Jiaying also made good use of her time in the capital to arrange various pre-wedding gatherings with other relatives and friends she knew.
During this period, Lin Guantang continued to carry out his own affairs step by step.
Continue to shoot some interesting short videos such as basic usage tips of the national system, as well as cooperation with Thorn Moon.
With ample capital injection, all activities of Thorn Moon that had been delayed due to funding have become active again. The site selection and design of the establishment of a truly Omega Academy have also begun.
Lin Guantang didn't know much about this and had no intention of getting involved too much, but neither Huo Shizhen, Yuan Wenjun, nor Pu Xinglan, his good friends thought so.
Since Thorn Moon has been reborn because of him, and various information indicates that Thorn Moon has reached a critical moment of power transition, it is necessary to take the initiative and seize the initiative.
Even if it is not for the inheritance he donated, he should at least think about the classmates who supported him, believed in him, and followed him to invest money. Do we want to let everyone's beautiful expectations be dashed and let the money donated to the poor omegas at the bottom be embezzled by people who become rich overnight?
This was something that Lin Guantang had no choice but to refuse.
He carries the hopes of so many people on his shoulders. Everyone has tacitly regarded him as a bridge between omegas and between nobles and commoners. He can't just cut off this path himself.
But in fact, there is not much he needs to do. It is almost enough to just cooperate in various publicity activities and go to other regions to participate in various activities when necessary.
As for the matters that require repeated negotiations behind the scenes, and even the participation in the management of the affairs of Thorn Moon, there are professional teams prepared by Huo Shizhen to handle them. He only needs to express his ideas and expectations when necessary, such as whether a certain decision should be implemented.
Pu Xinglan's relatives and friends were originally the elders of Thorn Moon, so in a sense, they had someone on their side. Because of Pu Xinglan's relationship, the other party trusted Lin Guantang more and intended to promote the power to tilt towards him.
In addition to these daily routines that were proceeding step by step, Lin Guantang was surprised by the invitation from Sheng's company - wanting him to become the spokesperson for the simulated world.
According to Miss Sheng, since the simulated world follows the pace of the empire and supports the empire's progress, it is directly equipped with a system promoted in the official name of the empire during the public beta test. It is reasonable to follow the imperial system and also find Lin Guantang to be the spokesperson.
In the past, Lin Guantang might have easily believed this, but now he always feels that there is something fishy about it.
The more people you meet, the more secrets you learn.
He now knew that the Sheng and Huo families were not allies. The Sheng family was very radical, while the Huo family had tended to be conservative in recent years.
The relationship between the two is not as bad as fire and water, but it is not much better either. It's just that there is no long-standing grudge between the younger generation, and they have rarely met each other, so they maintain a polite relationship.
So since the relationship is so cold, it’s not right to let Lin Guantang be the spokesperson for the “Simulated World”.
After all, the relationship between Lin Guantang and Huo Shizhen, at least among these noble families, should not be a secret. If it was the Yuan family looking for Lin Guantang to cooperate, it would be reasonable.
Yuan did the same.
Not to mention that Young Master Yuan Zhixin had a good relationship with him and would often bring homework to Lin Guantang to solve -
Yuan Zhixin had good grades to begin with, so the questions that stumped him were obviously not easy.
But Lin Guantang did not receive a complete school curriculum. The school he attended was extremely dilapidated and the teachers changed frequently. As for his knowledge of extracurricular books, he relied almost entirely on the books brought by his godfather Sazerac.
The result was that Lin Guantang had to follow the system in a hurry, or Huo Shizhen had to cram the normal high school courses and then teach them to Young Master Yuan.
In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. You can just let the system give the answer and transfer it to Yuan Zhixin, and save the middleman from making a profit from the price difference.
But the evil Demon King Huo insisted on satisfying his desire to be a teacher.
"Just treat it as a break from your busy work, to make up for the time you missed in class, and—"
Huo Shizhen said sinisterly:
"You also know that he already regards you as an idol. Do you want to disappoint him or let his youth be filled with lies because of you?"
It’s not that serious.
Lin Guantang didn't expect that after being exempted from all courses at O College, he had to make up for the high school courses, and - how could it be easy?
Fortunately, Yuan Zhixin's enthusiasm was only temporary. Most of the time, he chatted with him about interesting things that happened in the class or school. Only a few of them came to ask Lin Guantang questions.
Especially Lin Guantang also started to forward various papers to him in a wicked way...
Yuan Zhixin even refused to discuss topics related to the question with him.
On the other hand, the Yuan Group also announced its cooperation with Kobayashi in a big way, using the platform of the Moon of Thorns and with the support of the empire, to carry out free medical care throughout the empire.
It originated in February or March, when Lin Guantang followed the staff of Thorn Moon to a poor town to provide free medical treatment, mainly focusing on glands and pheromones.
It was just a small event, but it was very busy.
Lin Guantang was born in District 35 and is relatively healthy. He does not have any glandular or pheromone problems, but many other omegas suffer from related diseases but have no money to treat them.
The free clinic organized by the Moon of Thorns was neither effective nor bad in terms of medical treatment level or medicines. Minor problems could be diagnosed and treated on the spot, but major problems could not be treated. The free medicines provided were only basic medicines for one or two days.
So Lin Guantang naturally thought of the Yuan family. After all, the Yuan family was very good at pheromone-related medical research.
The Central Military Academy is indeed good at pheromone-related medical treatment, but the relevant resources are exclusively for the Central Military Academy, and they are fine but not numerous. Moreover, the treatment methods have always been based on the principle of "simple and crude, with the fastest effect." The fact that all the cadets are alphas and can withstand this treatment does not mean that it is suitable for ordinary omegas.
After much thought, he decided to contact Yuan and ask if they could provide any help. After all, it was Yuan who introduced him and Thorn Moon in the first place.
The good news is that Yuan's response far exceeded Lin Guantang's expectations. Not only can he provide support in terms of doctors and medicine, he is also ready to participate in the free clinic activities of the Moon of Thorns, continue the free clinic activities, and expand the scope of the free clinic.
But there are also requirements.
One of the requirements was to publicize the reputation of Yuanshi Medicine. Another requirement was to promote their latest developed medicine through free clinics.
A drug that can reduce the incidence of "pheromone disorder" when taken before differentiation.
Due to the instability of secondary differentiation itself, improper response in the early stages of differentiation, taking drugs that attempt to interfere with the direction of secondary differentiation in advance, and many other reasons, pheromone disorder has almost become the most common disease related to pheromones in the empire.
This prompted Yuan to conduct research on this, and it was quite effective. It has already undergone a series of experiments, and its safety and effectiveness are fully guaranteed. However, it has not yet been officially promoted for external use. Instead, it is a good opportunity to use this event to promote it throughout the empire - the medicines provided for the free clinic are of course distributed free of charge.
In short, I am willing to provide various kinds of help free of charge, but I also have selfish motives such as wanting to gain fame from it.
After countless meetings among various parties, the event was finally finalized, but after several twists and turns, it was finally put under the name of the Empire, and it was decided to promote free medical services in the impoverished areas throughout the Empire.
The smart device support required for the activity is also managed throughout by the national system.
This is another long and arduous activity, which won't have any significant impact in a short period of time, but it's not without any impact at all.
The activity officially started in June and was carried out in batches simultaneously, but before the official start, a pilot free clinic was carried out in the countryside near Yuanshang District.
So after the early pilot free clinics started, Xiaolin's account received many private messages of thanks from people.
Lin Guantang simply responded that he had only done a small amount of communication and publicity work. The ones who worked harder and needed to be thanked were the doctors and nurses who traveled across mountains and rivers to participate in the free clinic, as well as the support of the Empire and the joint efforts of many organizations.
This was Lin Guantang's sincere words. After all, his original purpose was just to ask Yuan, who was good at medical matters, whether he could provide some convenience.
At that time, no one could have imagined that it would eventually develop into a national public welfare activity supported by the imperial government.
There are many people who participated in this and made greater contributions, but Lin Guantang does not think that the credit should be attributed to him.
But this does not prevent people from thinking that Kobayashi is being overly modest, and in addition to being grateful to him, they have even more favorable impression of him.
Because his appearance is so perfect, people almost subconsciously think of him first.
The so-called perfect image doesn't just refer to his outstanding appearance, but also his poor background, the secondary differentiation of omega, the courage to break into the thieves' den alone to save people, and the heroic act of giving up his entire inheritance...
In front of the public, he has already established an absolutely perfect image.
It makes people subconsciously give all their praise to him and believe that the activities he supports are just like his selfless generosity, and are not just a formality, but will truly benefit all people.
In addition, whether it is the Moon of Thorns, the Yuan family, or even the Empire, they are all vague and general terms that are not easily accessible to ordinary people - at least in the hearts of the people, large and distant organizations are far less profound than specific and close individuals.
At least if you want to thank Xiaolin or express your opinion about him, you only need to find the account "Xiaolin" on the public platform and contact him through private messages. As for other organizations, it is really hard to think of which channel to use for direct contact - they each have countless branches, and it is always troublesome to distinguish the dedicated lines.
Moreover, Kobayashi would answer every question he asked - although it was the system that replied to Kobayashi's private messages on his behalf, the system was also an intelligent product that the Empire was promoting, which just offset the disadvantage of not having a real person replying.
Furthermore, because of the intentional mentions by Moon of Thorns, the Hara family, and even the imperial officials, the public's favorability towards Kobayashi has increased unprecedentedly.
However, this is a reputation that has been gradually accumulated over a long period of time, rather than a reputation that can be completely harvested in an instant.
As for the fact that Lin Guantang received so much praise and support, he became even more determined to work hard for the general public, which is something that does not need to be stated specifically.
Because he practices it all the time.
***
At the moment, Lin Guantang is still confused about Sheng's intentions. No matter from which perspective, this cooperation seems strange.
How can you give gifts to your opponent?
But Huo Shizhen just let him take it.
No matter what tricks the other party is playing, at least the immediate benefits are real.
Whether it is the endorsement fee or the increase in Lin Guantang's popularity, it will definitely fall into Lin Guantang's hands.
The simulation system is also an absolutely important product for Shengshi. Even if they want to use it to set a trap, they cannot use the simulation world itself to do anything to discredit it.
In that case, then agree to it.
Besides, if you don't follow the trap set by the other party, how can you know what the other party's next move will be? Maybe he is really kind-hearted and wants to take this opportunity to express his desire for reconciliation to the Huo family through Lin Guantang.
Although Lin Guantang felt that this possibility was unlikely.
In fact, Sheng Fenghua also wanted to know the question that Lin Guantang was confused about.
It was expected that Huo Shizhen would cut off his support and set him up.
Although he was indeed angry and felt guilty for messing up the plan, he should have foreseen that after he had extended his tentacles into the imperial capital, Huo Shizhen would ruthlessly chop off and dismember them once the entire tentacle had entered the imperial capital.
Her superiors knew everything and were very reasonable. They did not blame her for this. Even when Sheng Fenghua and others admitted their mistakes, he was in a good mood to tease them. If it was really so easy to occupy the imperial capital, it would seem that all their past incompetence was useless.
However, although they were not blamed, another task was assigned to them, which was to ask them to find a way to tie Lin Guantang to the simulated world.
Tied together - this can be interpreted in so many directions.
This also puzzled Sheng Fenghua and others. Since Huo Shizhen was so obvious in wanting to raise Lin Guantang's reputation endlessly, then as his opponents, shouldn't they be trying to discredit Lin Guantang's reputation? At least they should help contribute to his career.
The illogical logic actually makes people suspect that the boss has a close relationship with Huo Shizhen. For example, Huo Shizhen is actually an undercover sent by the boss, or the boss has actually been turned by Huo Shizhen a long time ago.
This is the legendary story of “Three years and three years, I became the boss of the other side…”
——In fact, this was discussed quietly in private, but it was still caught by the elusive boss.
Then it’s not fun anymore.
The boss appreciated this idea very much, so he assigned a difficult task to the person who came up with this idea and sent him to a place covered with yellow sand to carry out the task, making him eat dirt and swallow sand.
If you can think of such a guess, it is obvious that your heart has flown to the sky or your brain is full of water. In this case, you should eat more soil to calm your heart or drain the water from your brain.
Sheng Fenghua would certainly not make such a mistake. She was loyal to her superiors. Since her superiors had said that Lin Guantang should be bound to the simulated world, although she did not understand, she decided to do it.
The simplest way to bind is, of course, to become a spokesperson.
At first she was worried that Lin Guantang would refuse. After all, there was Huo Shizhen behind him, who might intervene and forbid Lin Guantang from contacting suspicious people.
The result was that the implementation went quite smoothly. After the initial mutual testing, both parties expressed their good expectations for the cooperation and then quickly signed the contract and officially announced it.
Everyone is happy.
