Chapter 1222 - 475: Fame Is a Double-Edged Sword (Part 2)
Yes, here on recommendation.
The Guel Alliance has always been labeled with stereotypes like 'bizarre folk customs,' 'political correctness,' and 'random growth without genetic locks due to interstellar isolation.'
Yang Ming originally thought that these stereotypes were just a form of low-level mockery and regional discrimination;
but after his experiences over the past few days, he truly felt the 'bizarre folk customs' within.
This stuff becoming a stereotype really has some justification.
To attract the official attention of the Guel Alliance, he used his identity as a general from the Wind Alliance to make the previous news;
At the same time, he spread rumors that Mr. Haton, an energy tycoon closely associated with the Wind royal family, was traveling in the Guel Alliance, having rescued Yang Ming, who was caught visiting a local establishment along with some professor of indeterminate name.
Initially, the news didn't gain much traction since Yang Ming only wanted to inform the Guel Alliance of his travels with energy tycoon Haton.
But the subsequent stir was beyond Yang Ming's expectation.
Initially, several influencer female bloggers reached out to Yang Ming, offering free guide services and hinting at free companionship;
Then, a television station sought to interview him, with an appointment list filled with questions leading Yang Ming to praise the quality of the local service industry;
Next, an organization called the Service Industry Workers Union announced its protest against local police for arresting their important guest, demanding an apology for tarnishing the alliance's image and foreign guest, leading to a demonstration of dozens of service industry workers and another wave of online hype.
The demonstration prominently featured photos of Yang Ming;
Yang Ming, over the decades, never felt so embarrassed.
If these counted as normal occurrences, then what happened over the next two days left Yang Ming speechless!
Some so-called Guel Alliance expert jumped up, claiming 'this is administrative bullying,' 'a great injustice to foreign guests,' and 'a blow to local tourism.'
Anyway, regardless of right or wrong, as long as it criticized authorities, these experts gained fame and profit.
Then, entertainment shows with party background started exploiting the matter, delving into Yang Ming's order to fire in the Ilando Star battle, narrating the New Federation's history to the nation's citizens.
——The Guel Alliance competes with the New Federation in multiple fields.
Entertainment shows became a catalyst;
after the broadcast, several trending topics parachuted into famous women portals of the alliance, half of them discussing Yang Ming's looks.
Yang Ming considered himself moderately handsome, but he was touted as having 'eyes that remain pure despite being in the field,' 'eyes full of ideals and persistence,' 'radiating a beauty that differs from packaged stars.'
"Give me a break."
Boss Yang felt the urge to bully the weak for the first time.
He couldn't ride horses or herd sheep, yet they talked about wild beauty.
Yang Ming only wanted to go to the streets and chant: Workers are the most beautiful!
Those four service workers accompanying Yang Ming and Hua Moli that night also received quite the buzz, and during interviews praised lavishly, saying things like...
"General Yang Ming is a very gentle person. He didn't make a single inappropriate move, only invited us to dance, drink, chat together, and cared about our living conditions."
"And General Yang Ming is very generous. This jewelry General Yang Ming gave me signifies how fleeting beautiful youth is."
"I joined the companionship industry out of passion because it makes me happy and joyful, allowing me to taste various drinks for free, and most importantly, afford the chance to meet outstanding talents and enrich my life experiences."
"General Yang Ming was probably dragged over by another unimportant guest... No, there was no crossing the line... yes, no touching my body, and when I wanted some physical contact to help the guest relax, he politely avoided."
"General Yang Ming's singing... It's very melodious, already at a professional debut level."
Oh dear.
Mimili, who had been hiding in the hotel eating popcorn, laughed herself silly twice.
With Boss Yang's voice like a broken drum, singing is sheer disrespect to the song itself.
What made Yang Ming feel the most bizarre was that the police station which arrested them really apologized.
But the police station still maintained a shred of dignity by not withdrawing the administrative punishment against Yang Ming and the nameless professor, instead saying they didn't verify the content of the report.
Therefore, Boss Yang swiftly gathered a bunch of face fans in the Guel Alliance.
In the past few days, every time he appeared on the street, hordes of reporters and fans crowded around him, which made him absolutely repulsed.
Regarding the public opinion in the Guel Alliance, Boss Yang truly...
However, there were a few good news too.
First, the relationship between Yang Ming and Professor Hua Moli was warming up, Professor Hua Moli felt guilty about the news only reporting on Yang Ming's situation, constantly inviting Yang Ming for meals, even inviting Yang Ming to continue vacationing on his working planet.
Yang Ming didn't directly agree.
——To avoid arousing Professor Hua Moli's suspicion.
Nonetheless, as soon as Professor Hua Moli mentioned it again, he would surely pretend to reluctantly agree, seizing the chance to poke around the research institute.
