Chapter 171 Communication at the Banquet
All of a sudden, the reporters swarmed up, ready to "siege" Mu Bai, but Hao Wenzhong stood in front of Mu Bai and cleared his throat with his hands behind his back, so the reporters didn't dare to get too close.

Hao Wenzhong used to be a top figure among bachelors, even after he retired, he still has the title of "Visiting Bachelor".

In front of such a big man, the tabloid reporters dare not be too unreasonable.

However, sharp questions were still thrown at Mu Bai: "Mu Bai, do you really have close contacts with women from Qi?"

"It is said that the women of Qi State are very different from the women of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in terms of physical structure. Is it true?"

"After you are expelled from Zhou State, will you go to Qi State?"

Mu Bai smiled and raised his hands and pressed them down, as if he had something to say.

The reporters fell silent immediately.

Hao Wenzhong frowned. What was wrong at this time, he signaled Mu Bai with his eyes not to speak. As long as he was present, he could bring Mu Bai into the hotel, and the reporters couldn't do anything to him.

Mu Bai smiled at the old scholar, indicating that he knew a lot.

Then he said to the microphone and camera handed over by the reporters: "Idiots are so much fun, hahahahaha!"

After saying that, Mu Bai laughed and passed Hao Wenzhong into the hotel.

Hao Wenzhong's originally serious expression was broken by this sentence. He smiled and thought to himself: "That's right, after all, he is young and promising. It would be strange if he wasn't crazy."

The reporters recovered from the chaos: "Damn it, are you calling me an idiot?"

The other reporters were smarter and didn't answer.

The reporter who was asking the question just now blushed. He quickly stepped forward and pointed at Mu Bai, "Wen Zhan, Wen Zhan! I want to..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was surrounded by four middle-aged people. It turned out that Secretary Hou brought people over to rescue Mu Bai.

Secretary Hou said to the reporter coldly: "I don't know if there is an important banquet here today? If you want Wen Zhan to ask the guards to compete with you a few times, why are you gesturing to the guests?"

The reporter took a few steps back, how could he be an opponent of the guards?

A female reporter in her thirties asked outside the door, "Why didn't you let us in? Instead, Mu Bai, the traitor, could go in?"

"Because he received the invitation!" Secretary Hou said coldly: "And it's also a collective invitation from Bachelor Dou Yu and Teacher Wang Quan! Do you have any?"

"Why was Mu Bai invited?" The female reporter was obviously still unconvinced: "Bachelor Dou and the others are..."

The photographer on the side hurriedly pulled her, and if she continued, it would cause trouble!

Xueshi Dou and the others were the heroes of this battle. They fought to a draw with the Jin poets who combined the strength of the whole country under huge pressure, laying the foundation for victory in this battle.

At this juncture, slandering a national hero is looking for excitement.

The female reporter also realized her slip of the tongue, and she quickly changed her words: "Bachelor Dou and the others are...why didn't they invite me?"

The surrounding reporters burst into laughter, and the female reporter blushed with shame.

Secretary Hou still said with a cold face: "When you are spreading rumors, don't forget that Mu Bai has just made a huge contribution to the country!"

After speaking, he closed the glass door of the hotel.

The reporters were somewhat confused: "What do you mean? The governor's office wants to protect Mu Bai?"

"Even if the comments on the Internet and in the newspapers are false, Mu Bai can't curse!"

"This kid is still too crazy, he deserves to be slandered!"

Ignoring the "complaints" from the reporters, Mu Bai waited for Hao Wenzhong in the hotel lobby, and consciously continued to follow behind the old man.

Take the elevator to the second floor. The banquet venue is a huge hall. This banquet is in the form of a buffet. Bachelors and students hold drinks in their hands, standing or sitting in small groups and chatting.

There is a band on the small stage in the banquet hall, playing soothing and pleasant music live.The thick carpet is soft to step on, and the special smell of incense smells elegant and comfortable, and the atmosphere of the whole hall is comfortable and comfortable.

However, in the corner, there were also some people with sullen faces or sitting expressionlessly on their seats, drinking mechanically.

Hao Wenzhong explained to Mu Bai in a low voice: "They either suffered heavy injuries in the civil war, or they consumed too much energy in the civil war, which caused a great psychological burden and took a long time to recover.

"The Zheng Bosen you know is an example. It took several years to get out of the shadows. And the students who expended too much energy, after returning to Hongwen Hall, usually have a serious illness and are mentally depressed for several months.

"So during the civil war, it is very important to make psychological adjustments for yourself. As for consuming too much energy, hey, sometimes there are things that you have to do."

Mu Bai nodded, indicating that he was taught.

Now he is not too opposed to entering the Hongwen Museum for further studies. After all, this is a good opportunity to quickly earn a reputation, and he still has the qualification for "special enrollment", so it is not for nothing.

The appearance of one old and one young attracted the attention of many people. In addition to greeting Hao Wenzhong, everyone would also greet or nod to Mu Bai.

Hongwen Museum is a place that respects real talents and learning. Although there are many negative remarks about Mu Bai in the whole country, Mu Bai's talent has indeed helped a lot in this literary war, so everyone respects him.

Dou Yu and other students from the poetry group gathered around, and Wang Quan thanked Mu Bai face to face on behalf of the poetry group.

Mu Bai said with a warm smile: "It's right to serve the country. Besides, you have worked hard to lay the foundation for this battle. Those few poems of mine are just icing on the cake."

Dou Yu nodded and said with a smile, "The rumors should be broken!"

Although the old man doesn't know the ins and outs of the rumors about Mu Bai, he believes in his own eyes that those remarks should basically be rumors.

Wang Quan also said: "The current tabloid reporters are too much. Mu Baigang made a huge contribution in the literary war, and they slandered him so unscrupulously!"

This beautiful girl who is full of bookishness seems to have accumulated a lot of "anger points". The more she speaks, the more excited she is:
"There are also those comments on the Internet, saying that Mu Bai is close to the Qi people, and it's okay to have been to Qi, but it is said that he has countless girlfriends and has done many scandals of forcing good people into prostitution!
"The person who posted this post has a heart to blame! There are really all kinds of things on the Internet! It is so arrogant to say such brazen words! Being able to make such remarks shows that his heart is also extremely dark and wretched, otherwise ..."

Mu Bai quickly stopped her: "It's really too much, but if we don't care about them like them, their fists will look like they hit cotton, no matter how powerful this punch is, it's useless!"

If he remembers correctly, the "dark and obscene" post should have been written by him.

"I'm just a little angry!" Wang Quan asked, "Do you need a statement from the Hongwen Museum to help you clarify?"

Mu Bai took a sip of orange juice and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but now is not a good time for Hongwenguan to speak out, and people will grab the ground and say that Hongwenguan is also confused by me."

"Do they dare to doubt the authority of the Hongwen Museum?" However, Wang Quan also immediately thought that ordinary people would not question the Hongwen Museum, but would only doubt that some people in the Hongwen Museum were deceived, and that would indeed make the description worse.

She then asked, "What's your solution?"

"In fact, when these rumors had just formed a certain influence, Shesheng Company already had a solution." With experts like Hao Wenzhong and Dou Yu present, Mu Bai did not intend to hide:
"Some of the attacks on me on the Internet were actually published by the employees of the Shesheng company, in order to make the rumors bigger and more empty. When a certain point is reached, the company will hold a press conference to clarify the effect.

"At that time, it is the best time for Hongwen Museum to issue a clarification statement, which can be used as 'supplementary evidence' and condemns those unscrupulous media."

"Then have you been to Qi State?" The person who asked this question was a 27-year-old woman with a melon face, short hair, and a professional attire.

When Mu Bai was talking about the solution just now, he noticed that she had been listening.

Wang Quan introduced: "This is Tao Daixi, a senior reporter from "Dazhou News". This literary war is the battle where reporter Tao is responsible for leading the team to relay the poetry group."

Then she said to Tao Daixi: "Reporter Tao, in view of the unhealthy tendencies in those tabloids and the Internet, you must write a true report to bring peace to the public opinion circle."

Tao Daixi smiled and nodded, but did not promise anything: "I will report the truth."

At this time, applause came to mind at the banquet. It turned out that Mi Qingfeng and Governor Song had arrived together. The topic of Mu Bai and the others stopped temporarily, and they also applauded.

The two big figures delivered brief speeches one after another, and the banquet officially began.

The waiters were like flowing clouds and flowing water, bringing up plates of delicacies. Everyone toasted Mi Guoshi and Song Cishi with a glass of wine, and then they all carried the plates and rushed to their favorite food.

Mu Bai held the plate and said: "What's so good about a high-end buffet? There is no hot pot and barbecue, and it completely lacks the soul of a buffet."

He picked up a few braised prawns, a plate of roast duck and burritos, and some lo mei and dishes.

Mu Bai was not ready to continue talking to Dou Yu and others until he had filled his stomach.

The taste of the shrimp is still good, very tender and strong, you can try more seafood in a while.It's a pity that Zhou people don't have the tradition of eating raw, otherwise food such as salmon sashimi would be more perfect.

The taste of the roast duck is also good, the duck skin is crispy, the duck meat is tender, dipped in soy sauce, served with side dishes such as onion shreds, carrot shreds, cucumber shreds, etc. Enjoyed it very much.

It's just that the taste of the lo mei is mediocre, too salty and lacking in fragrance.

Although the dishes are not big-pot dishes, they are definitely not high-quality goods. Mu Bai asked himself that his cooking level is similar to these dishes, but his cooking is not so good.

Just as Mu Bai was going to get some food and a bottle of beer, Tao Daixi suddenly sat down opposite Mu Bai: "I have too much ice cream and desserts, help me eat some."

Mu Bai was taken aback, and said in his heart, "Is this to interview me?"
