[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

The White House was very tired of dealing with the attack launched by "Century Weekly".If Ross hadn't approached the Avengers' door before that, with the embarrassment of the White House spokesperson in the face of sharp questions, I'm afraid even Tony would have believed that this was just a regular attack on the government by the media.

The topic of the mysterious assassin has been stirred up for nearly a week, and the popularity has continued unabated.Even though all parties have adopted a negative attitude to deal with it, the Internet and the media have been holding on to this topic and refusing to relax.

The topic has become so hot, and the media cannot be blamed.In terms of seriousness, the White House can easily be held accountable for this matter. In terms of gossip, a mysterious assassin who is so close to the Avengers is exciting to think about.Coupled with the fact that someone posted the photos of Ba Ji performing the assassination mission on the Internet, those fans who were obsessed with CP all day were even more blown away.Even the fans of the American team who chased Joanna hard some time ago have been screaming and frantically replying "I can!!!!!!" under Baji's photo in the past two days

Joanna brushed the topic expressionlessly.Her eyes lingered for a long time on Baji's cold snap photo, and then she said silently in her heart: I can't.

Everyone knows that things will fall to the Avengers sooner or later, but they don't know which day it will be.This kind of uncertainty is like a knife hanging above the head, dangling and making people nervous.

Joanna has been suffering from insomnia for several days because of this matter.

Every day when the phone rang, she couldn't help shivering and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Eight days after "Century Weekly" published its first article, different voices emerged from the media team that had been chasing the White House.What speaks is the truth newspaper.The inside and outside of the words are still the temperament of the White House licking the dog, but there is only one central idea: In addition to holding the White House accountable, shouldn't the Avengers give everyone an explanation?

As soon as this remark came out, small media and netizens immediately followed suit.

"Century Weekly" looked aloof, still clinging to the White House, with an attitude of "don't let anyone change the direction of my report".On the contrary, "Planet Daily" helped the Avengers Alliance half-heartedly with a few words of defense.

On the 9th day after the incident, the White House finally responded positively to the issue, publicly stating that it would take the initiative to discuss with the Avengers how to deal with issues related to Baji.

The White House has changed its previous image and released all the information related to Baji openly.Just the characters that Baji assassinated, there are two full pages.These include some of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. and high-level U.S. politicians.

The Avengers looked at the list published on the news program, and no one commented.But everyone knows very well that the White House has declared war on them.

That afternoon, all the Avengers got together for a meeting.Joanna and John were also in attendance.

Baji's condition that day didn't look very good, he looked listless.Since he walked into the meeting room, he hasn't had any communication with other people, including eye contact.It seemed that his mind was not here.Finally, Steve, who was the closest to him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then he raised his head and smiled at Steve.

A very forced smile.

Joanna frowned, lowered her head, and stopped looking in that direction.

It's a matter of business, after everyone sat down, they didn't even open their mouths to speak.Joanna pulled off the cap of the pen in her hand and closed it again. The cap and the barrel of the pen collided lightly, making a light clicking sound.

Joanna looked up from time to time to peek at everyone's expressions.

If possible, she would really like to speak up and lead the meeting right now.On the one hand, it was because she planned to use this opportunity to try to persuade everyone to reconsider the feasibility of the agreement, and on the other hand...Joanna couldn't bear to see Steve embarrassed.She knew the past between Steve and Baji, and she understood how important Baji was to Steve.Joanna couldn't help but think of Halle whenever she saw Steve defending the babbling.

She still remembered that time when the clown brought someone to break into prison, how Harley held her tightly in his arms.She also remembered how sad she was when Harley left.

The coach that left Gotham that day was spacious.But Joanna and Steve chose the back row of seats.There, Steve cut off the world for her, and she huddled in the corner seat of the coach and wept softly.

Joanna also wanted to do something for Steve.She also wanted to keep him safe behind him the way Steve had protected her.But judging from the current situation... that was too much for her.

Steve waited for a while, but no one was about to speak.He took a deep breath, and was about to preside over the meeting as usual, when he heard Natasha on the side suddenly say: "Everyone is very clear about the recent situation."

Steve looked at Natasha unexpectedly.

Natasha just glanced at him without explaining.

"Before we start the discussion, I have to remind everyone. The list you saw is..."

"It's true that I did nothing wrong." Baji suddenly raised his head and interjected.

Natasha froze for a moment, then retorted: "When you are controlled by someone."

"That doesn't change the fact that I did it." Baji's tone was calm, as if he was accusing an irrelevant person.

Steve watched Baji from the sidelines with a pained expression.

The others either had their heads half down, or looked at the ceiling, all of them looked embarrassed.

Only Pietro is quick in action and quick in mouth.He said almost without thinking: "Wait a minute! Aren't we having a battle meeting today? No one told me it was a review meeting before I came here. I didn't make any preparations for this!"

Tony gave Pietro an appreciative look.

Banner quickly answered, "That's right."

The rest of the people quickly followed suit.

John sat next to Joanna, nodding frequently in a "yes, I appreciate your remarks" attitude, taking useless notes by the way.Joanna couldn't help kicking John.

John looked up, glaring at Joanna.

"What are you staring at, do you understand what they are talking about?"

"I don't understand." John replied as a matter of course, "But I just believe in the Avengers, no matter what they say, I will nod, is this wrong?"

Joanna opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.Holding the pen in her hand, she lowered her head again.The nib of the pen drew traces one after another on the white paper, quickly making the paper dirty.

The whole meeting room knew what Joanna was planning, none other than Tony.That's why he kept silent for so long uncharacteristically.He didn't believe at all that Joanna was the kind of guy who would be persuaded to have a frank talk with Steve.Judging from the performance of Joanna and Steve today, sitting halfway across the conference table, with the appearance of strictly distinguishing the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Tony knew that these two guys did not have a good talk at all.

Maybe at this moment Steve thought that everyone in the conference room was of one mind!

Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but sigh.

This is the first time, and probably the only time he thinks Steve is miserable.

He thought that his teammates would fight him to the end, but he didn't know that his own little girlfriend was already thinking of ways to persuade everyone to surrender.

Tony raised his hand and rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling sad that an old father still has to worry about the children at home.

Tony calmed down and took a deep breath: "The White House started by responding to media questions. I think we should listen to the opinions of the PR department first."

Joanna looked at Tony, only to see Tony's expression of "Speak quickly, we can refute after you finish speaking".

She pursed her lips and remained silent.

This is different from her pre-planned strategy.In this situation, there is no benefit in speaking first, especially when everyone is disgusted with the agreement.

If you don't let these brave heroes discuss and discuss, and then she rejects all the proposed solutions one by one, and rashly proposes to accept the agreement, there is no chance of winning.

Joanna turned her head and looked at John.

"Me?" John pointed to himself, "I said?"

Joanna blinked and nodded slightly.

John thought for a while: "There is nothing to say. Anyway, the PR department is scolded. No matter what happens, we just support the Avengers' decision unconditionally."

Joanna closed her eyes in despair.

Her small movements did not escape Steve's eyes.Steve knew Joanna all too well.Even when she turned her head and turned the back of her head into his face, he could tell the expression on her face from the movement of Joanna's shoulders.

Steve had always known that Joanna had an opinion about the incident, and her reaction when Ross called that day spoke volumes.Besides, Joanna has always been an independent girl, she always has her own opinions, especially when it comes to public relations matters.

Steve considered it for a while, and asked as gently as possible: "Joanna, what do you think?"

Joanna, who was named by Steve, still chose to face the spiritual leader of the Avengers with the back of her head.She didn't sit upright until she felt that she could control her emotions.

"This is the most proactive release I've ever seen from the White House. I wouldn't believe a word that there was no conspiracy. But none of that matters. What matters is what they do next, and ,what can we do."

Steve looked at Joanna with a serious face, and knew very well in his heart that Joanna would say something he didn't agree with next.But he still felt that Joanna was extremely charming at this time, so fascinated that he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "You can talk about it."

The upturned corners of Steve's mouth took on a different meaning in Joanna's eyes.She could see that Steve was in a good mood.The reason why he is in a good mood is probably... because he has already figured out how to refute her.

Joanna's heart sank to the bottom of the valley: "If I were the White House, I would ask the Avengers to hand over Baji. I would use... any crime to propose severe punishment for the participants in the assassination operation. Given that the SHIELD guys died The death of the missing, the missing, the only one who can calm the public opinion is Ba Ji. As for the Avengers, of course there is no way to let that happen. So, things will change from condemning the White House to... condemning the Avengers .”

Speaking of this, Pietro on the side only now fully realizes that in the field of public relations, his superpowers seem...to be useless at all.Pietro scratched his head: "Then we must have a way to fight back, right? Huh?"

"Yes." Joanna's tone was firm, and she sounded confident, "There are two ways."

When Pietro heard that there was a solution, and once there were two more, he couldn't help but get excited: "What is it?"

"Number one, accept Ross's deal. The Avengers accept White House custody, and we give the White House what they want. In return, they need to speak up for us, claiming from start to finish that Baji is a victim, not an assassin. Then I Find some people to operate on the social network. Fortunately, he already has a lot of fans. Although he can't be completely cleaned up, it shouldn't be a problem for the public to accept the fact that he is an Avenger."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room showed displeasure.

Joanna stared at the tabletop of the conference table, but no one looked at it.

"What about the second one?" Steve asked, staring at Joanna.To his surprise, when he asked this question, Joanna, who had always been calm, couldn't help but shivered, and her brows were slightly knit together.

Before Steve could think about the reason, Joanna said softly: "Second, open the press conference, or let me see Mr. President. I still have...a tongue of lies."
