A rapid mobile phone ringtone suddenly came into his ears, Xu Xincheng woke up suddenly, and immediately realized that he had just leaned on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze.

He shook his head lightly to sober himself up a little, and looked at the time, it was 19:25, and the caller was Zhou Dedao.

With last night's experience, Zhou Dedao didn't have to come over so early tonight, and the time agreed between the two was half past seven.

"Xincheng, I'm downstairs in your company and I'm parking. Zhou Dedao's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Good. You come up, and I'll pick you up at the door of the company. ”

Xu Xincheng looked around the office as he spoke, and Assistant Qiu had already packed up all his things and left quietly. The conference table had been restored to its original state, and all the tableware had already been quietly retracted into the big boxes by Assistant Qiu, and the three large boxes had been placed in the corners, and even the screen mirrors had been folded up and placed next to the bookshelves. He didn't know anything about all this, it seemed that he was too tired just now, and he slept a little deeply.

Quickly stood up, picked up the suit jacket on the armrest of the sofa, put it on, came to the built-in mirror in the wardrobe, combed his hair meticulously, arranged his shirt and tie in a proper manner, and finally, Xu Xincheng loosened his shoulders and neck, took three deep breaths, showed a confident and calm smile in the mirror, and tried to adjust his state to the best level.

Xu Xincheng straightened his chest and stomach, and walked out of the door with a straight and steady pace that had been guided and trained by Mr. Wen many times.

As soon as the two met, Zhou Dedao immediately asked in a low voice with excitement: "Xincheng, are there many foreigner beauties tonight?"

Xu Xincheng was suddenly angry, this guy is simply amazing.

was thinking about glancing at him with disdain, and then scolding him with a few words, but Xu Xincheng immediately thought of an important criterion that Mr. Wen said, "You must always maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, no matter who you are facing, no matter what kind of occasion you are in, it is especially necessary in public." ”

"There's a lot of people here, so let's talk about it in my office first. Xu Xincheng said with a calm face and a calm tone.

"Oh! Okay. Zhou Dedao is a smart person, and when he was reminded like this, he also realized that he shouldn't have said something so unscrupulous at the door of the company, so he hurriedly suppressed his excitement and walked to the company with Xu Xincheng.

The two soon came to the office, and as soon as the door closed, Zhou Dedao immediately couldn't hold back his excitement, and asked excitedly: "Xincheng, tell me quickly, are there many foreigner beauties tonight?"

Xu Xincheng glanced at him helplessly, then became serious, and said solemnly: "Thoughtful, the three chapters of our covenant must continue to be implemented tonight, and they must be adjusted, if they are violated, the amount of the fine will be doubled compared to last night's regulations, and all the fines will be donated to our alma mater." The first violation will be fined 40,000 yuan, the second violation will be fined 80,000 yuan, and the third violation will be fined 160,000 yuan. ”

Zhou Dedao's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "This is too ruthless, right! Can it be less? Can it be according to last night's regulations?"

"Can't!" Xu Xincheng's face became more serious, and he said, "There are many distinguished foreign guests here tonight, and there are even world-class business bigwigs. This matter is not only about the image of our company, but also about the image of the country and the reputation of our country as a state of etiquette. You haven't entered yet, you haven't seen anyone yet, you're already excited like this, don't be ruthless, I'm really afraid you'll do something out of the ordinary. ”

Zhou Dedao frowned, nodded heavily, and sighed: "Okay! I confess the three chapters of the covenant tonight. ”

When Xu Xincheng heard this, his face immediately calmed down a little, and he said softly: "I don't know how many foreign beauties there are, but I know that Linda will be there tonight, and she is still the host of the dinner." ”

Zhou Dedao's eyes lit up, and he asked casually, "Really?"

"Really. ”

Some complicated lights flickered in Zhou Dedao's eyes, but after a while, those lights disappeared, his eyes became dim, he hung his head and let out an "oh" in frustration, and sat down on the sofa.

Xu Xincheng sat down with him, looking at him with unbearability in his heart, this guy, just now he was still excited, still excited, as soon as he mentioned Linda, he immediately turned into a deflated ball, languishing. As a brother, you have to find a way to cheer him up.

Now the question is, how can we help?

Xu Xincheng ordered his brain to turn quickly, and after only two or three turns, he had an idea, and he asked with concern: "Thoughtful, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Zhou Dedao nodded a little mechanically.

"First of all, you did a decent job last night, and although you didn't make a particularly good impression on Linda, you didn't leave a bad impression either. Tonight, there's a good chance you'll have a chance to meet and chat with Linda again. Xu Xincheng paused and said with a concerned face: "Look at yourself now, if you see her in your current state, will Linda leave a good impression on you?"

"No, it won't. Zhou Dedao immediately shook his head and said weakly.

"Do you want Linda to make a bad impression of you?" This time, Xu Xincheng deliberately raised his voice and said sharply.

Zhou Dedao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, took several deep breaths in a row, his gaze gradually became firm, and finally, he replied in a resolute tone: "I don't want to." ”

"Good. My advice to you is that even if you can't make a particularly good impression on Linda for the time being, then you should set a small goal for yourself, a minimum goal, for example, not to make a bad impression on her. This goal is low and easy to do. This is the minimum goal, and if you achieve this goal, then, in the future, if you want to, you will still have a chance to become friends with Linda, and if you can't, then, even if you want to, I am afraid, it will be difficult for you to become friends with Linda. You understand the point, right?"

"Understood!" Zhou Dedao nodded immediately.

"So, can you do it? Can you do it without making a bad impression on her?"

Yes, this is the idea that Xu Xincheng just thought of, with the current Zhou Dedao, if he wants to leave a particularly good impression on Linda, it is almost an impossible goal to achieve, and now, the first thing he must do is to seek truth from facts, that is, to recognize and accept this reality.

However, if the goal is lowered, to the minimum, so as not to leave a bad impression on Linda, even if he is now, it is completely possible.

This is the minimum goal thinking, this is the bottom line, first keep the bottom line, first achieve the minimum goal, once the bottom line, once the minimum goal is reached, then, there is still a chance in the future, otherwise, the future chance will be very slim.

The minimum goal thinking is a thinking model, which refers to seeking truth from facts, objectively recognizing and accepting one's actual situation, setting a minimum goal within one's ability according to one's actual situation, based on the lowest point, starting from the lowest point, and developing step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Xu Xincheng listened to an online lecture on mental models two months ago, and thought that this mental model should be useful, so he memorized it, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here today.

Zhou Dedao's eyes suddenly flashed with the light of enlightenment and hope, and his spirit perked up, and he said loudly: "Yes, you are so right. Of course I can!"

"Very good, then let's start acting!" Xu Xincheng pointed to the shopping bag placed at Zhou Dedao's feet, and said: "Now that you have started to enter, you quickly put on a suit, adjust your state, and when your state is adjusted, we will enter again." ”

"Good!"
