Chapter 379 Social Art
Facing Wu Shen’s suspicion and questioning, Ning Weimin did not panic at all.
Don't look at the other party's menacing approach. He looks like he will fall out at any time, and he is extremely domineering.
But Ning Weimin knew clearly that the more this happened, the less serious he would be.
So he smiled teasingly and said without any concern, "You think so highly of me? Thank you. But I still have some self-awareness, and I am really ashamed of these words."
"There are so many people more talented than me, so who am I? Besides, my English level is definitely not as good as Huo Xin's. To put it mildly, I am self-taught, which is actually a wild thing. Huo Xin is different. , comes from a serious academic background. "
"As for why Huo Xin favors me, it's because I am her leader. Don't you know that Huo Xin is very thoughtful despite her young age? She is so smart, how can I give her a chance to wear glass shoes?"
"Of course, even if I have this intention, I don't have the guts to see you today? Just your friends are Huo Xin’s strong backing and absolute support. I’m afraid I will have to be cautious and avoid our Miss Huo...”
That’s true. It worked, Wu Shen immediately stopped being serious.
Instead, he rubbed his head, grinned widely, and expressed his approval with a tilted smile.
Even Huo Xin couldn't refute it.
After all, Ning Weimin's words, which didn't sound too serious, were also an endorsement of her.
Yes, it is inevitable to encounter some difficult problems in communication.
The best way to deal with this is to respond jokingly.
As long as your language skills are in place, you can make the other party relax.
Like Ning Weimin, he downplayed the embarrassment with just a few words of ridicule, and easily made the embarrassment disappear silently.
However, even if Wu Shen is passed, it does not mean that no one will make things difficult for Ning Weimin.
Don’t forget, there is Jiang Hao who has been silent all the time.
"Brother, are you too humble? Who can believe it if you insist that you have no talent? Then according to the logic in your words, don't you rely on connections? What's more, you have such a big pocket Circle, you haven’t talked about the real issue yet? I just want to ask you, how come you respect us when you just refute all of us? "
< br>It would be difficult to deal with this kid.
He was like a predator waiting to be hunted. If he didn't move, he would go straight for the prey's throat.
His words were nothing short of a punch.
That is a direct reference to Ning Weimin's insincere remarks and his tricks.
And remind others to recall the conflict between Chacai and Ning Weimin.
You must know that Ning Weimin rejects others in a roundabout way. Although it is a pleasing way, it must be clever.
If someone reveals it, it becomes annoying because no one likes to feel fooled.
However, Ning Weimin was not afraid.
Because he is not just talking about it, just to get rid of the problem.
His real purpose is to completely control the rhythm of the conversation. Not only does he not lose, he also has to gain something.
So what he said was an ambush and he had a mature routine.
Currently it is just the first move of his series of punches.
"Oh, Jiang Chu, you really wronged me with what you said. Why am I not being honest?" Ning Weimin changed his ways this time. He was aggrieved at the beginning and did not hesitate to devalue himself. , throwing out many rhetorical questions in succession.
“Didn’t I make it clear what I just said? I never think that personal ability is more important than social relationships. Then how can I be the kind of person who learns from the best based on my talents? What about people? Isn’t it because I knew there was no way to go, so I still had to go to the dead end? "
"Frankly speaking, I just learned some English in order to exchange for some foreign exchange coupons. It’s only after I met Mr. Carton that I became an employee of a foreign company. Don’t worry, I am the person with the lowest academic qualifications in the whole company, so the word ‘talented’ cannot be applied to me, right?”
"You might as well think about it again. A commoner like me, who grew up in a hutong, has neither academic qualifications nor background. How can I get the position of deputy manager just by being able to speak a few foreign languages and be a little smart? Is this really possible? Even if I am lucky, will this really happen? Let alone compete with my boss for power? Just ask him. "
You must know that people's thinking has inertia. Everyone present has to agree with the rationality of these questions, even Jiang Hao.
So every question became favorable evidence for Ning Weimin to defend himself.
So much so that no matter how complicated the final conclusion was, everyone present could only believe it but could not refute it.
What's more, Ning Weimin had a supplementary explanation.
"Of course, I can't compare with the few here. My relationship is not as rich and high-quality as yours, and I have to find, develop, and maintain it myself."
“For example, the leaders of the Temple of Heaven Park, famous artists and professors in the art world, journalist friends from major media, and some people from the Ministry of Economy and Trade and the Ministry of Textiles. I am all working hard day by day. , I worked hard to get it right. Without the trust and favor of these people, how could my sculpture exhibition be so sensational?”
“Also, why do I have the confidence to follow my boss? Fighting for management rights? It’s because my boss mistakenly believes that foreign companies are more practical and rely solely on their English proficiency and business ability to achieve better results and make more money. But he doesn’t know that foreign companies also focus on brand promotion. , it’s also a good name. At this stage of building a reputation, we care more about the brand’s reputation.”
“Yes, I am one of those nouveau riche who only served steamed buns and pickled vegetables today, and today I wear suits and leather shoes and sit in high-end hotels. . But why is this happening? It's not because I'm lucky. It's because I understand that although I can't choose my destiny or my circumstances, I can still create opportunities and pave the way for myself by carefully managing my connections. If you have many capable friends, you are in control of your own destiny.”
"So if I have some ability, it all depends on how to make friends. How could I not like to make friends or respect friends? It is even because of the lack of relationships that I value relationships more than anything. Frankly speaking. Speaking of which, I am very satisfied with the opportunity to meet so many high-quality friends today. I am also very grateful to Huo Xin, and I naturally respect you very much..."
Indeed, everyone has a mentality of showing off, and I hope that the people I associate with can match my own strengths, so how to avoid being bored or being looked down upon in social interactions has become an art.
In fact, the key point is that when talking about your own advantages, you should focus on them and not go too far in order to gain recognition.
And it’s best to point out your own strengths in a way that elevates the other person, so that the other person won’t think you’re bragging.
In addition, in less important areas, proactively exposing one's shortcomings and admitting one's shortcomings in certain areas can also have better results.
This is not a shame, but it will make people think that you are a real person and that your words are not hypocritical.
As the saying goes, "If you are humble, people will be convinced; if you boast, people will be suspicious."
Ning Weimin did all this properly and his previous foreshadowing was by no means nonsense.
He pointed out his own strengths and weaknesses by euphemistically promoting the other party.
Not only has he given the other party a sense of superiority and relieved them of their suspicions about him, but it has also invisibly increased his weight in the hearts of the second generation, establishing a pragmatic and interesting image. .
Even though he keeps saying that he has no real abilities, this in itself is a manifestation of ability.
In fact, Jiang Hui asked a question on behalf of everyone without any doubts.
"Then why did you refuse to help and let Huo Xin down? You still haven't explained why?"
Ning Weimin's combo punch finally came to an end. At the first blow, the most critical remarks were thrown out smoothly.
"Don't worry, here is the reason I want to explain. Why should I refuse everyone's kindness? The reason is actually very simple. Because I have no way to make a reasonable return."
