Chapter 998: Prefecture Magistrate Dai’s Flattery Is Too Ruthless
Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Dai and Gu Yundong were already sitting in the reception pavilion talking. When they saw them, they quickly stood up.
The prefecture magistrate had already seen Gu Yundong. He immediately smiled and waved his hand. “There’s no need to be so polite. Everyone, sit down and eat first.”
After Gu Yundong sat down, she could not help but glance at Shao Qingyuan. She asked, “Have you discussed it with Uncle Dai?”
“Yes.” Before Shao Qingyuan could answer, the prefecture magistrate spoke first.
He looked even happier than Shao Qingyuan. “Qingyuan is indeed a talent. He gave me a good idea.”
Everyone in the reception pavilion was family. The prefecture magistrate didn’t hide anything and told them the results of their discussion in the study.
Madam Dai nodded repeatedly. “That’s true. It’s better to do the opposite than to take the initiative to promote it.”
“Isn’t that so? If we directly put up an announcement or find a large number of people to persuade the commoners, the effect will not be much. We don’t have the time and energy. Now, let the storyteller use his words to attract people and leave an extremely deep impression. Especially… Let’s tell the commoners that the vaccination time is limited and the number of people is limited. In order to snatch a spot, the commoners will eagerly participate.”
People were like this. People would be more anxious about limiting their purchases, afraid that such a good thing would not happen to them.
However, if there were no restrictions and someone even told them that this was a mission given by the higher-ups and had to be completed, these people would feel that it might be disadvantageous to them.
To be honest, Gu Yundong did not know this method either.
She couldn’t help but glance at Shao Qingyuan and ask them, “Then how do you plan to tell the story?”
Prefecture Magistrate Dai laughed. “We’ve already written it down. Come, let me show you.”
He immediately handed over the few pages filled with words.
Shao Qingyuan took a look. No wonder the prefecture magistrate had brought these pages with him when he went out previously. It turned out that he was showing off.
Gu Yundong and the other two took it. Madam Dai and Dai Wenhuo looked at it and nodded slightly, indicating that it was not bad.
“The writing is clear and smooth, the story line is clear, and the logic is fine.”
“The story is very voluptuous, the poems are quoted appropriately, and the beginning and end echo each other. Good.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. What should she do?
Seeing that his wife and son had finished talking, the prefecture magistrate was still very satisfied. In the end, his gaze landed on Gu Yundong, but he saw that after she finished reading, her expression was strange and constipated.
Prefecture Magistrate Dai’s heart skipped a beat. Was there a problem? He thought that he had written it quite well and checked it once. There shouldn’t be any typos.
“Well, Gu girl, how’s my story?”
Gu Yundong could not bear to see him disappointed. He racked his brains and finally said, “There are quite a lot of praises for the emperor. Uncle Dai’s vocabulary is very… amazing.”
The four people present were speechless. Forget it, it was better not to praise him. They were just short of saying that the prefecture magistrate’s flattery was too ruthless.
The prefecture magistrate wiped his face. “You, you’d better tell the truth. I can still listen the truth. After all, this matter is very important. We have to be careful at every step. If this story is not good, we won’t be able to achieve the effect we want. It won’t be good for the vaccination method. We would have worked for nothing.”
Madam Dai hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes. Yundong, you have big ideas. Tell us what’s wrong. If it’s not good, we can change it in time.”
