When Zhang Zhongping came to Hou Changping's door with a box of red wine, he had already calculated ten tricks in his heart.
This box of red wine, worth about 1,000 yuan, was carefully prepared by him after inquiring in advance and learning about Judge Hou's hobby. Zhang Zhongping's face was full of joy, but there was a shrewd light in his eyes.
He walked up the stairs with a wine crate in his arms, with a sincere gesture.
As soon as the door opened, a hint of surprise flashed across Judge Hou's face. Zhang Zhongping hurriedly put on a polite appearance, with a smile on his face that seemed to be real and fake. "You're Judge Hou, aren't you?" He flattered straight to the point: "I have admired the name for a long time!" There is flattery in the words.
Judge Hou hesitated for a moment, but invited him into the room and sat down. Zhang Zhongping gently put the wine box aside, and then looked up at the interior of the house. His gaze was keenly aware of a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall, and he immediately showed an expression of appreciation.
"This word is written so beautifully, at first glance, it is from the hands of a famous artist, and it has the style of Yan Zhenqing!" Zhang Zhongping exclaimed and gushed about calligraphy. His tone was so firm that he seemed to be the best of the best.
Judge Hou listened to him talk endlessly, and a smug look appeared on his face. Zhang Zhongping's sharp eyes caught the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and immediately followed the trend and asked: "I don't know Judge Hou's money, can you Xi carefully?" He said, looking at him with sincere concern.
Judge Hou was overjoyed, and immediately talked about his son's talent and talent. Zhang Zhongping keenly grasped his point of interest and said that he could introduce famous teachers to his son.
Judge Hou was obviously very interested in this and thanked him repeatedly. Zhang Zhongping smiled slightly, his face revealing a little cunning. He knew he had accomplished most of his goal.
Sure enough, Judge Hou quickly changed the topic and said that he wanted to ask Zhang Zhongping something. Zhang Zhongping is humble on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart. Before leaving, he said "I will not embarrass my friends", which successfully left a positive impression on Judge Hou.
In this well-designed gift-giving drama, Zhang Zhongping successfully created an honest and simple image with a delicate expression to cover up his calculations.
It was a seemingly ordinary meeting, but everyone was carefully calculating.
As soon as the meeting began, Zhao Xiankun threw himself at Vice President Wang with his blue eyes. This simple eye contact immediately conveyed his intentions. Vice President Wang nodded knowingly, cleared his throat and said, "The punishment seems to be too severe."
Zhao Xiankun leaned back in his chair with satisfaction and a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, Lin Xiaomin's voice interjected into the dialogue: "Su Xiao is immature, we can't hand over such an important position to her!" His tone was firm, as if he was defending the company's interests.
However, the smiles on the faces of Zhao Xiankun and Vice President Wang gradually disappeared.
The chief economist immediately rushed to say: "We should give Su Xiao a chance to make corrections, but we also need to give her a certain punishment." I recommend that she be transferred from her current position. His proposal was compatible with the opinions of both parties, and Zhao Xiankun nodded when he heard this.
Lin Xiaomin realized his gaffe, and quickly changed his words: "I agree with the chief economist's opinion!" His tone was visibly flustered.
"Okay, that's it. Zhao Xiankun said unhurriedly, and the conference room returned to calm.
In this meeting, Zhao Xiankun only said a simple sentence, but he successfully controlled the audience through his eyes and subtle expressions, so that everyone finally obeyed his will.
This skill of maneuvering and speculating shows the essence of the Chinese style of meeting.
These two well-designed gifts by Wang Zhiwen and Yu Hewei's comfortable meeting are just daily episodes in the TV series at first glance. But when we calm down and take a closer look, we will find that there is a profound wisdom of Chinese culture hidden in it.
Wang Zhiwen is modest on the surface when giving gifts, but there is a secret calculation behind it. His every smile and words are carefully calculated, and the purpose is to please the other person in order to achieve his own goals.
Yu Hewei was also calm on the surface when he held the meeting, and he controlled the overall situation inside. He uses words and eyes to cue his subordinates and steer them into focusing on their intentions.
Beneath this superficial social interaction and interaction lies the profound sophistication and skill of the Chinese. We must put aside the external appearance of TV dramas and elevate daily life to the level of art in order to understand the cultural wisdom contained in them.
The complexity of how Chinese society works is far greater than we can imagine. Seemingly ordinary things such as gift-giving and meetings, the twists and turns in them are the key to success or failure.
Just like playing chess, each move affects the direction of the whole game. We must have insight into these "unspoken rules" in order to better deal with complex social relationships.
So the scenes in these TV series are not only entertainment, but also give us valuable life inspiration. As Lao Tzu said, "Knowing people and discussing the world, being pure and quiet", we need to keep a clear mind and gain insight into the essence of things.
This traditional wisdom teaches us the art of living in the world, and it is also the essence of Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years.
