Chapter 1316 flattery
"Xiaojie, prepare to put the anchor away, let's go back to the dock." Seeing Leng Xin focus on fishing for yellow croakers, Xuchang is preparing to go back to the dock. With people like Leng Xin, who knows what bad things will happen later.
Black and white-collar workers - the son, when facing the temptation of money, they can do everything.
For money, killing people or causing serious injuries, these dark things will come at will.
Although Xuchang and his brothers did not need to be afraid of these black hands, Xuchang did not want blood to be stained with his brother Xu Jie's hands.
"Well, brother, I understand." Xu Jie didn't say anything else, and went back to the stern of the boat to pull up the anchor and leave here. Although Xu Jie was very angry that Leng Xin occupied the yellow croaker fishing ground, for the sake of the peace of his family, Xu Jie temporarily endured this anger.
However, sometimes, God just likes to joke with others. In Xuchang, when Xu Jie and his brothers wanted to leave the Yellow Crocodile Fishery in Fairy Beach, some people didn't want them to leave.
When the monkey beside Leng Xin saw that Xu Jie and his brothers were about to leave, he came directly to Leng Xin and said to Leng Xin with malicious intentions: "Brother, Xu Chang and Xu Jie seem to be preparing to leave here. Brother, we are not professional fishermen. In terms of fishing, we cannot compare with Xu Chang and Xu Jie.
Besides, this is a fishing ground for yellow croaker. As long as we can keep this fishing ground confidential for a period of time or keep it confidential, our gains will be really great. Brother, you can even let go of your hands and feet to buy elixirs in the Jade Pagoda to improve your cultivation.
As long as you have enough contributions to buy elixirs, you will definitely be able to occupy a place in the jade area in the future. Brother, as long as you have a high status in the jade area, you will do whatever you want on earth.
Brother. Now if we let Xuchang and Xu Jie go, then we will definitely be much slower in catching yellow croakers. Moreover, if Xuchang and Xu Jie go back, they will directly expose the yellow croaker fishery to other fishermen to find out. Brother, you can't enjoy the treasure land of the yellow croaker fishery.
Brother, we have a grudge with Xuchang and Xu Jie. If I were Xuchang and any of Xu Jie’s brothers, I would definitely expose this yellow croaker fishing ground to others after I go back. So, brother. Now, you can’t let Xuchang and Xu Jie leave like this.”
Under Leng Xin's men, Monkey has always placed his position on the role of Dog-Head Military Advisor. He can become the number one character around Leng Xin. In addition to the entry level of Monkey's "Hawkeye", he relies on giving Leng Xin some ideas to frame others, or deal with others, and obtain some illegal gains.
Therefore, in essence, the monkey is also very guilty in the Black Society led by Leng Xin. If the monkey falls into the hands of the law now, he will be the result of life imprisonment.
"Well... Monkey, you are right." A cold light flashed in Leng Xin's eyes. The monkey's reminder made Leng Xin realize some of his mistakes.
Indeed, I have a grudge with Xuchang and Xu Jie. If I were Xuchang, any of the two brothers Xu Jie would be very unwilling to let this treasure land fall into the hands of my enemies, and I would 100% spread the news about this treasure land.
In this case, maybe there will be some battles in this treasure land. If you are lucky, maybe your enemy will die in this battle.
Leng Xin knew very clearly that he should not look at many people on his side. In fact, once he met a truly powerful warrior, Leng Xin would definitely be wiped out.
When Leng Xin thought of this, he had already made a decision in his heart that he would not let Xuchang and Xu Jie leave here easily. For this treasure land of the yellow croaker fishing ground and to speed up the speed of catching yellow croaker, Xuchang and Xu Jie had no choice but to devote themselves to the passage of his subordinates.
As for whether the Xuchang and Xu Jie brothers would be willing to join their subordinates, hum...! Now the two brothers could not agree with this matter.
Thinking of this, Leng Xin's eyes turned, and he immediately had an idea: "Monkey, come here, you are like this..., like this..., and then like this..., do you understand?" Leng Xin began to instruct the monkey. He had already planned to deal with Xuchang and Xu Jie in this way.
"Brother, I understand. I will make arrangements immediately. Brother, you are really amazing. According to your arrangement, the two brothers Xuchang and Xu Jie are doomed this time. Brother, Monkey, I really admire your wisdom."
As the monkey said, he also gave a thumbs up and began to praise Leng Xin. The monkey was able to gain Leng Xin's trust and stayed by Leng Xin's side. His flattery skills were also one of the reasons.
The term flattery actually originated from the Yuan Dynasty culture. When ordinary Mongolians meet with horses, they often pat the other party’s butt, touch the fat of the horse, and then praise the "good horse" a few times to win the favor of the horse owner. However, after a long time, some people, regardless of the quality of other people’s horses, just say flattery, and say bad horses are also good horses.
Gradually, people call flattery for their superiors "flattering", which is used to satirize the behavior of disregarding objective reality, specifically flattering others, and pleasing others. It is a metaphor for a person who often flatters and says a lot of overly exaggerated praise words to please his leader.
There is another allusion about flattery: this allusion comes from the culture of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that ordinary Mongolian people will own several horses to solve problems such as travel and transportation. Herders often take pride in raising horses.
Sometimes when people meet with a horse, they often pat the other horse's butt and touch the fat of the horse. They also praise the "good horse" a few times to win the favor of the horse owner.
At first, people were realistic and good horses said good, but after a long time, some people just said flattering words regardless of other people's horses, whether they were good or bad, or strong or weak, and even said bad horses were good horses.
It is said that Mongolia is a nation that will win the world at once, so most of the officials of the Yuan Dynasty were from military generals, and horses were often a symbol of power, status and status of generals. The best praise for their superiors is to pat their horses and praise their horses for being good.
Gradually, people call flattery to their superiors "slap" because the words of praise are different, and the actions of slap are the same. This is the origin of "slap".
Later, Mongolia entered the Central Plains, established the Yuan Empire and established the Yuan Dadu, and their culture gradually penetrated into the Han culture, and the word "flattering" was passed down.
Some people also say that in fact, you must never slap the horse's butt when slapping horses. However, since Han people rarely ride horses, they imagine "slap the horse" as "slap the horse". As for whether the horse's butt can be slapped, there is no conclusion yet. In short, just don't slap the horse's hooves.
There is actually some folk news about the term flattery that has been passed down for a long time. It is said that a long time ago, a rich man outside the Great Wall bought a good horse and was very happy, so he invited his three sons-in-law to drink.
After three rounds of wine, the rich man took out a BMW from the stable and asked his three sons-in-law to write poems to praise the horse.
In order to please his father-in-law, the three sons-in-law searched for good sentences.
After a while, the eldest son-in-law came up and said loudly: "There is a golden needle on the water surface, and the father-in-law rode his horse to Yinshan. He went hundreds of miles, but the golden needle has not yet sink." The rich man said good after hearing this.
The second son-in-law was not too busy, and said word by word: "The goose feathers were placed on the fire, and the father-in-law rode his horse to Yuyao, and went thousands of miles, but the goose feathers were not burned." The rich man was overjoyed after hearing this.
At this time, it was the third son-in-law's turn. The third son-in-law was so stupid that he didn't know what to say. He only slapped his hands on BMW's butt. BMW was impatient and farted.
The third son-in-law had a sudden inspiration: "The horse farts, and the father-in-law rides to Kuaiji, and goes tens of thousands of miles, but his fart is not closed yet." The old rich man was so amused and laughed. The term flattery came here.
Regarding flattery, some people have also compiled a book called "The Grand View of Flattery". The selected commentators selected hundreds of materials about "flattery" from nearly a hundred ancient books such as "Twenty-Four Histories", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Continuation of Zizhi Tongjian", "The Legend of Zizhi Tongjian", "Notes and Novels", and collected the great achievements of "flattery".
How far is the "flattering"? It's disgusting to read.
During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Chengwu's favorite minister and scholar prescribed typhoid fever. The doctor told him that he should take "Huanglong Decoction". What is this soup? It's also the same as the man with the adults. He happened to be a scholar present at that time, so he volunteered to say, "Sir, this thing is very easy to take, let me try it for you first." After that, he drank it all.
Not only have people in China been good at "flattering" since ancient times, but foreigners also love to "flattering". An expert named Stenger from the UK wrote a book to teach the secret of flapping horses: be vaguely implicit and just right. It is really an experience, because there has been a saying in China that "flattering on the legs of a horse". If you don't please people, you won't be better.
Don't think that only small people can "flatter". Stenger said that there are many people who are proficient in this way in contemporary political leaders. The example is that British Prime Minister Bryer first visited Washington and knew how to "replenish the kidney" (hehe, I want to change him to a different name). Afterwards, Bryer said: "He really left a deep impression on me..." He also described "replenish the kidney" as "very capable" and "very smart."
Some people say that the Chinese "flattering" is similar to the idiom apple-polish (grabbing apples) that originated in the United States at the beginning of the last century.
Three hundred and sixty lines, and now another line is added. Which line? Flattering. It is said that in Tokyo, Japan, two young people turned the provision of flattery services to others into professions. To put it bluntly, isn’t they just relying on “flattering” to make a living? And their business is getting hotter, because there are such people in the world. They say: “Although I have to pay for a few compliments, I am still very happy.”
"Flame" has become a profession, which is unheard of. Don't forget that among the twelve zodiac signs, there is a dog behind the horse. Now, some people are making bullshit.
Of course, when you see the term flattery, you should not think that the term is 100% derogatory or think that the term is not good. In this way, it would be too prejudiced, because in some occasions or in some processes of doing things, such as flattery can really achieve twice the result with half the effort.
For example, often call some of your customers to praise them, praise them, how good they are, how good they are; for example, help the boss who loves to sing KTV or your colleagues collect some new songs mp3, of course, you must study him or their favorite style in advance, and in the end, don’t forget to give him or them the high hat of “God of Songs”;
For example, write a sixteen-line poem for an exiled executive, which inadvertently reveals a reluctance to give up in addition to praise. Who knows if someone has been poached for a higher position? And so on, these trivial things that are just polite or nanny. To put it bluntly, they are flattery. To put it nicely, they are sensible, understanding, and even kind and hardworking. Isn’t it?
As a company employee, you actively maintain high-quality relationships with customers; as a subordinate, you actively share labor-intensive affairs with your boss; as a colleague, you are willing to create a happy working atmosphere in the office. If your business abilities are comparable, who will you be promoted to such an employee if you don’t get promoted?
Things like flattery are actually fulfilled around us and can be seen everywhere, and even in ancient times, there were countless behaviors like flattery.
For example, when the good ministers of the Qing Dynasty wrote to the emperor, they usually wrote in the memorial "The emperor is wise. I think..." that is, the first sentence flatters the emperor, but the second sentence explains his different opinions - note. He flatters the man, not the decision, and this method can be imitated.
Almost all ministers in Chinese history are flatterers. Learning a little bit of fur will be enough to benefit for the rest of your life.
Many people think that flattery, vulgar, and shameless, is actually nothing to do with flattery itself. The problem lies in the person who flatters. A person who is slutty, vulgar, and shameless will be slutty, no matter what he does, it will be slutty, vulgar, and shameless. That is not just flattery?
How can flattery be useless? Even God wants us to praise and worship every day, and it depends on whether you are sincere when praying. Use sincere prayers to flattery. Is that flattery or flattery? Sincerity has turned flattery into praise.
The highest level of praise is to make the person you praise not knowing that you are complimenting, while the corresponding highest level of flattery is to make the person you praise believe in your praise with all your heart.
The ability of a flatterer can figure out where the "reality" in other people's dreams is. Slap it gently at the right moment, making him feel excited about the dream come true. At that moment, you have become his confidant.
A flattery expert sees your dream and is excited when your dream has not come true. A flattery expert at a higher level will weave a dream for the other party and put the other party into this dream. Is this heaven or hell? How can flattery answer this question for you?
"The plan you made is great and inspiring to me", or even an encouragement like "I believe you can do it" will make the other party feel paid attention and invisibly narrow the distance between you.
In the workplace, flattery can sometimes determine the level of your position and whether you gain the favor of your boss.
"Hmph, flattery!" A colleague in the workplace looked disdainful and picked up the remote control and wanted to change the channel. "I look down on people who flatter and pretend to be polite!"
No wonder, since he entered the workplace, he has been worried about this issue - he did the hard work in the office, but the leader favored another guy with "low ability".
"Isn't it just because he can flatter!" a was angry. Therefore, a's workplace experience was very bumpy.
B is just the opposite. As a middle-level foreign company, he is experiencing the wonderful feeling of being praised by his subordinates. After a speech at a meeting a few days ago, the little beauties under his command suddenly gathered around: "Boss, you're so good!" "That's right, I really give our department a face!" "I'll have the chance to teach us two tricks next time!"... B waved his hands repeatedly, saying "wherever there", but he still couldn't help but feel happy. B's workplace experience went very smoothly!
Yes, those praises do have an irresistible magic.
Similar stories are also staged in the very famous TV series "Wulin Waizai".
At the second level, in order to encourage Xiao Guo to work, everyone felt like they had honey on their mouths-
The scholar said: "Help me wash these shoes and re-acquire the soles of the shoes. You are the best!"
Big Mouth said, "Help me rub the corn and grind it into noodles. You can do it, you are not an ordinary person."
Xiao Bei brought the quilt to wash and didn't forget to say good words: "Thank you, it's all up to you!"
In the face of such "flattery", it's not just Xiao Guo, but I believe that most people can only surrender.
A person’s success depends on hard work and opportunities, but also on good interpersonal relationships. Good interpersonal relationships can be regarded as the social resources we have.
Many people think that the establishment of interpersonal relationships can be achieved by flattery, so how should we view flattery? We cannot flatter others, blindly please others without taking into account objective facts, but we can create a strong smell of flattery.
To put it simply, if everyone knows that you are flattering, then don’t shoot it; but if you don’t shoot it, then shoot it.
So, as mentioned earlier, you must have different opinions on flattery. Don’t just beat the behavior of flattery. Many times, flattery will play a very important role in your actions and your life. (To be continued...)
