Chapter 708: Opportunistic 6

1.

In fact, the relationship between Zhu Hongtu and Zhou Chuntao is far from being as good as he himself said.

Zhou Chuntao, as an ordinary staff member of the Education Bureau, often follows the grassroots inspection and guidance work under the leadership of the Department of the Education Bureau, and the Huxian Normal Affiliated Primary School, as a first-class benchmark school in the county with both software and hardware, is a unit that the Education Bureau must visit every time. And Zhu Hongtu, as the director of the office of the primary school attached to the normal school, is responsible for ushering in the work that is being sent, so he gets acquainted with Zhou Chuntao from time to time, and the two of them have indeed drunk together a few times, but it is by no means the kind of friend that Zhu Hongtu says in his mouth.

A few minutes later, Zhu Hongtu returned to the wine table, and he told Zhuang Shitao that Zhou Chuntao had no time these days, and that he could only have a banquet at noon on March 12, because on this day, all departments of the Education Bureau would organize young people to participate in the tree planting activities organized by the county government in the morning and rest in the afternoon, so Zhou Chuntao might have free time at noon.

Zhuang Shitao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately finalized the banquet at noon on March 12 with Zhu Hongtu, saying that the location would be determined by Zhu Hongtu, and the account would be settled by Hushan Middle School, and Zhu Hongtu had no choice but to grin again and agree.

Zhu Hongtu did call Zhou Chuntao just now, but Zhu Hongtu didn't dare to rashly propose an invitation to the banquet, in the call with Zhou Chuntao just now, Zhu Hongtu just made a haha on the phone and asked Zhou Chuntao what he was busy with these days. Zhou Chuntao also complained on the phone that he had to participate in a tree-planting activity organized by the county government on March 12 and that he would have to work overtime on weekends to make up for the delayed work.

Zhu Hongtu understood that it was difficult to invite Zhou Chuntao with his own ability, but Zhu Hongtu couldn't say that when facing Zhuang Shitao, wouldn't it be faceless to say so? Therefore, Zhu Hongtu told Zhuang Shitao that Zhou Chuntao might have time at noon on March 12, thinking that Zhuang Shitao would dispel the idea of a banquet as soon as he heard this. In this way, Zhu Hongtu had to go through a lot of trouble about how to invite Zhou Chuntao to the banquet.

In fact, around us, there are really a lot of people who like to brag about their mouths, bombastic and exaggerated, and in the final analysis, this kind of people belong to the kind of people who love vanity and good face, and rely on boasting and talking big to raise their own value, and get a kind of pathological psychological satisfaction from their boastful talk.

Psychologists tell us that bragging for whatever reason is likely to affect mental health and relationships. On the one hand, people who are accustomed to bragging make their true selves smaller and their false selves bigger and bigger, so that they pay little attention to solving real problems, and therefore find it difficult to succeed. On the other hand, bragging may gain temporary false respect from others, but once the skin is punctured, the other party will think that he has been fooled, so that the braggart will lose his trust, and over time it will become a situation where everyone respects and abhors.

However, it is really difficult to change a person's habit of bragging, and it is even more difficult to bring them back to reality. A person is used to bragging, and this kind of pathology is integrated into his bones, just like Zhuang Shitao's classmate "Zhu Dazui".

It's just that this time, "Zhu Dazui" really has to pay a little price for his bragging this time.

For this meal, Zhu Hongtu and Zhuang Shitao had a happy meal.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Hongtu rode a motorcycle to send Zhuang Shitao to the Huxian long-distance bus station. When parting, Zhuang Shitao told Zhu Hongtu that he would go directly to the hotel on March 12 to wait for the arrival of Zhu Hongtu and Zhou Chuntao, and asked Zhu Hongtu to call after choosing a hotel, and Zhu Hongtu had to grin bitterly and respond.

Zhuang Shitao stepped on the bus back to Hushan Town, and Zhu Hongtu went back thinking about how to invite Zhou Chuntao to the banquet. Although there is a certain degree of difficulty in this matter, Zhu Hongtu does not want to lose his trust in Zhuang Shitao, this is not only for Zhu Hongtu's own face, but also for Zhu Hongtu to lay a good foundation in advance for himself to have a good relationship with Zhuang Shitao in the future. After a hearty conversation at noon today, Zhu Hongtu has already determined that Zhuang Shitao is by no means a person who has lived under the people for a long time. Therefore, no matter how difficult this matter is, Zhu Hongtu has to give it a try.
