Chapter: 6265
Shao Changkun listened and his expression turned even more unpleasant. He said offhandedly: "No need, no need. We can discuss it when we meet again. You're already helping me with my teaching duties, don't bother going out of your way to give it to me."
"Okay!" Xiao Wu replied, then took the invitation card and said: "I'll take care of it. When I see you next time..."
Shao Changkun was about to hang up, when Pu Weilong beside him said: "Xiao Wu, is it you? Did I get a response?"
On the phone, Xiao Wu hurriedly replied: "Pu Weilong, how could I not recognize your voice? You're with Shao Vice President, right?"
"Yes." Pu Weilong responded and then said: "Xiao Wu, do you have time tonight? There's something that might trouble you a bit."
Xiao Wu thought for no time at all and said: "What is it, Pu Weilong? Please go ahead and say it. I won't refuse!"
Pu Weilong laughed: "Tonight, I'm having dinner with Shao Vice President at Tianxiang Hall. I estimate we'll drink a bit of wine, can you come to Tianxiang Hall tonight to give Shao Vice President a ride? You're known for driving steadily, and the ladies in our group all praise your driving skills, saying that they've never gotten carsick when riding with you. If we get drunk, it's best if you drive us!"
Xiao Wu immediately replied excitedly: "Okay, Pu Weilong! Shao Vice President! I guarantee to complete my task and head straight to Tianxiang Hall in an hour!"
Pu Weilong laughed: "No need to go so early. We estimate we'll be a bit late, so why don't you eat some dinner first? Be there at 9 o'clock sharp."
As he spoke, Pu Weilong reminded him again: "Remember to take good care of the expenses and submit them to me for reimbursement!"
Xiao Wu was enthusiastic: "Got it, Pu Weilong! I'll be there on time at 9 o'clock! And I'll also bring Shao Vice President's invitation card with me!"
As Xiao Changan didn't pay much attention to invitation cards, he wouldn't attend even if invited. Right now, his mind was occupied by a question.
After hanging up on Xiaowu's call, he seemed puzzled and asked Pu Weilong: "Why would you find Xiaowu for something that costs around 100 yuan? What's the point of involving him?"
Pu Weilong spoke thoughtfully to Xiao Changan: "Changan, if you're going to take up a leadership position in the future, you don't necessarily need to understand business, but you must understand human nature and office politics."
He then raised his right hand index finger, pointed it vaguely, and smiled, saying: "How to win people over is an art; not only do they want to be given sugar, but also beaten with a rod, and given opportunities to make them do something for you;"
"Take Xiaowu as an example. As a leader, if you invite him to dinner, his intimacy towards you will increase by 5 points. If you ask him to help out or give him some opportunities to take on responsibilities, his intimacy towards you will actually increase by 50 points!"
"If a leader always lets one subordinate do small favors for them, you can be assured that person is their own kindred spirit; even if they're not yet, they'll become one soon."
"People are strange sometimes. They have various forms of compliance and flattering psychology. If you only use him on the work level, he'll only show compliance towards you. But if you make him happy on a personal level, he'll be satisfied with his flattery and favor-seeking nature. It's not that he's working hard to please you, but it makes him happier than you. This is social psychology, as well as the art of winning people over, an opportunity for you to study further."
Xiao Changan asked curiously: "Is that really how it is?"
Pei Weichang smiled and said, "Older brother, everything I've been telling you has been from the heart. If you don't believe me, just look at us - would we be chatting so freely now if I hadn't asked for your help?"
Xiao Chang'an's eyes lit up immediately and he exclaimed, "I get it! I understand Pei Weichang! It turns out that's what you meant! Amazing! Really amazing!"
Pei Weichang quickly explained, "Ah, yeah, Chang'an, although I've been saying these things, today's matter is not about manipulating your intentions - I'm genuinely asking for your help. That kind of trickery wouldn't work on you."
Xiao Chang'an chuckled and said, "I know, I know - Pei Weichang, if you're willing to say these things to me, that means you really consider me a person!"
"That's for sure!" Pei Weichang laughed, saying, "Sometimes you need to learn from your seniors' experiences. People are like stones in the river, and we need to follow our seniors across the river - sometimes there'll be slippery stones, but with seniors, there won't be any slips. If they slip up, we stop and let someone else take over."
Xiao Chang'an's face lit up as he said, "I understand Pei Weichang! Listening to you is like a pouring of nectar, truly beneficial!" JrNovels.com
