329, the night is gentle (I)
Why is it that the higher the social class, the more likely it is to appear against common sense, and even against human unspoken rules? Perhaps because the difference between people and people is not so great, and without these auxiliary factors, people cannot limit the number of candidates for management into the upper class to a reasonable number - so the truly qualified social elite must be able to aggrieve his own nature, and even transform his own nature to adapt to such unspoken rules, and one of the most important ones is to show the emotions of need when needed, such as ' A true gentleman and lady will never quarrel with a man', not because such people really don't even have the fighting instinct of animals, but because they can control their instincts, and even if they behave, they are quite tactful.
And for this occasion, although neither Jenny nor Christie named names, her words were tantamount to blatant accusations and quarrels, which could be said to fall into inferiority, allowing the audience to watch a free joke, and at the same time disrespectful to the host and Dick himself: if the conflict was not resolved, she could not come to the party, and since she came, then everyone expected her and Dick to give an intimate performance. Jenny wouldn't be so naïve as to think that all the smiling guests liked her and hated Dick, it was more likely that they didn't like Dick and were amused by her faux pas and Robert's embarrassment, and of course, no one was overly surprised - after all, in Hollywood, the class divide is not so obvious, there are many eccentric guys who have risen to prominence with their artistic talents, and these high-level executives have long been used to dealing with these out-of-control, weird guys. And she has always been a lucky big star image in the eyes of outsiders, since this is the case, the rude and rude performance is certainly understandable, and it can even make people feel at ease: Jennifer. Jefferson didn't look so perfect, at least at the moment, she was quite childish and frivolous, and perhaps her current success was simply because she was an unprecedentedly lucky person.
Of course, the thoughts in their hearts do not affect them to continue to hold themselves, and even some people's enthusiasm will be even higher, after all, a sane strong star is not as profitable as a chaotic actress who is carried away by success, no matter what the interests are, as long as she can be fooled, these people naturally have a way to squeeze it out of her.
As for Dick and Robert's thoughts......
Glancing quietly in Robert's direction, it was no surprise to find the reluctance and embarrassment in the smile, Jenny knew that the CEO, who had been close to her for many years and had not been much unhappy to work with, had now developed a real annoyance with herself, and she couldn't help but take his anger seriously - you know, although Big Dream has built a certain reputation by relying on his ruthlessness, even if he lacks Disney's protection, no one may be able to attack them, but for Robert, who knows the inside story, If he wants to be detrimental to Big Dream, there are still many means he can use.
But even so...... Even knowing that a qualified upper-class elite should not enjoy this' In line with nature's behavior, but should be proud of suppressing nature, but Jenny still couldn't help but feel a low-level sense of refreshment and excitement for the sarcasm just now, which made her feel a little ashamed and happy, just like watching a reality show and eating ice cream, this preference for slapping her face in the face is probably the GuiltyPleasure that she can't get rid of in her life, when this round of topics ended and the crowd dispersed, she and Cesare walked on the way to get a drink, she said softly, "I know it's not good to say that, But the feeling just now -- it was very good, and I'm afraid I'm going to get into it and settle all the conflicts that way. ”
"Then our enemies will be very happy." Cesare said indifferently, he didn't seem to be happy with Dick's embarrassment just now - this is not surprising, because Cesare is synonymous with self-control, he must have carried out this set of unspoken rules of high society to the extreme, for him, the real revenge should be to make Dick lose his position as CEO, not a public embarrassment - Jeanne couldn't help but secretly embarrassed, reminding herself once again to learn from Cesare: that is what people call the realm! "And Bob, of course, will be as unhappy as he is now."
Jenny brought herself a glass of lemon soda and chuckled as she watched Robert's expression, "Expected...... What do you think of him now? Already reacted? ”
"Give him a little more time to think," Cesare took a sip of his wine, "and he'll react—be a little patient, you have to be patient to put on a show for someone like him." ”
"Of course," Jenny licked her lips, thinking of all the double shows that Robert had admired before - this was not the first time they had tried to confuse and manipulate Robert, but in the previous show, the chips that Robert needed to pay were actually not precious, and they didn't have much impact on him, whether it was the decision to inject money into the big dream or provide insurance. Protect. Umbrella, or continue to support big dreams, this is the icing on the cake of success, and the failure only needs to shrug their shoulders, but now, what they want to manipulate him to do is undoubtedly not so simple, even if they have gone through many rehearsals and think that this plan is perfect, but Robert's previous unexpected performances still make her worry that in the previous performances, whether the other party had already seen their intentions, but did not expose them, and watched their performances with a smile as when she first proposed to acquire Marvel. "It's just that you know, I'm still—"
Cesare glanced at her, and he reached out and shook her wrist - a normal interaction between fiancés, and much more appropriate on such occasions than a lengthy word of consolation, after all, the latter risked being heard, but even so, Jeanne was a little surprised when he took the initiative to release such an intimate gesture. But it cannot be denied that Cesare's gentle and firm grip did calm her down, thinking of the discussion that the two had agreed upon: there is nothing to fear, and anyone can be confused and manipulated with adequate preparation.
Susan. Corinth would be. Exercise. Her penchant for reality TV and her slightly exaggerated freak of outfits has been shown through novels and films, in which she writes at length how Katniss gained popularity and gain an advantage through changes in clothing and makeup, and the film version of The Hunger Games, in which she was closely involved, also made a big splash on this point, making all the residents of Shi Huiguo Ladygaga. This suggests that she subconsciously recognizes this conversion—that she can accept the exchange of vanity-advantage, so that Jeanne and Cesare's slightly flamboyant performances can work, rather than be counterproductive and treated as inexplicable fools.
Brad. Gray will be. Exercise. If, because he wants to see it at a glance, when the situation is very favorable to him, he will throw all the chips in his hand at once, wanting to give Da Meng a fatal blow, just like when he wants to suppress Da Meng, he will not start with a temptation, but directly find the relationship with the IRS, which makes people feel unprepared. So when Jenny wants to 'get back together' with him, she only needs to bring out the "Mission Impossible" series and her own intuition, and that's enough, this is the mode that Brad likes, face to face with the gong and drum, once to make it clear, when you treat him in the mode that the other person likes, the other party is always easier to cooperate.
Cesare. Vijri will also be been. Exercise. Even though it was a little more difficult, Virgilia was able to do it using the connections between family members, and her motives were still unclear, so why did she do it? Was it Dick who promised a secret that kept her from being unmoved? Is it Virgilia who feels indebted in his dealings with Big Dreams? Was it that she didn't approve of Cesare joining Big Dreams? Either way, she did manipulate Cesare, and that is enough to show that.
Even Jenny herself -- she wasn't been. Exercise. Indulgence? Although this answer is uncomfortable, she has to admit that in the early years of her career, she was manipulated almost all the time, and the trader was of course Cesare, and even in her romantic relationship with Chris, she was often manipulated. Exercise. Zong's suspicion, after all, looking back now, every advance in their relationship was based on Chris's manipulation as a springboard. It also proves that there is no one who will not be been. Exercise. If, as long as you find the right pattern, you are well prepared -- as for Robert. Egger, they're already familiar with his pattern.
As the head of the Disney business empire, Robert's personality is not very strong, compared to his predecessor Michael . Eisner was much softer, and perhaps that's why the board chose him as the helmsman, so that they didn't have to worry about the board losing its function of restraint again - but that wasn't to say that Robert was simple and easy to get along with, in fact Robert was a very thoughtful person, and unlike Brad's daring, Robert often seemed to be slow to react, because he liked to figure out the situation thoroughly and then come forward to make a final decision.
Since they met, Robert has been like this in almost everything, whether it is accepting overtures, buying Marvel, deepening cooperation or suppressing Dick, he is not the first to react, which shows that he likes to consider, and even overturn his first impression, so for today's Jenny faux pas, he will not simply stay in the most direct reaction of annoyance, this mode of thinking is very natural, and Robert can't control himself - at first he must have been unhappy, and he felt that Jenny was rude, But give him a moment's time, and he'll realize that something is wrong: he already knows that Jenny is not as simple as she seems, and that she is usually very cooperative in her years of contact, so is she sending a message by suddenly acting like this today? Does it mean that Dick was not satisfied with the communication of the apology, and is there a hidden truth behind this dispute?
This is his second characteristic: Robert is a reserved person, as a China expert, he has lived in China for a short time, he seems to have inherited the essence of East Asian culture, for communication, he pursues 'everything is in words', for people who have crossed this intellectual threshold, you make such a gesture is enough, and if you haven't even crossed this threshold, then sorry, you are not even qualified to communicate with me. - This subtle gesture seems to be modest, but in fact it is arrogant, and it is destined that he will be fascinated by such a game of minds, and now that Da Meng has written the question for him, what he has to do is to solve this problem:
Disney headquarters got the secrets of Big Dream through some means, and bid for the "Hunger Games" that Big Dream really wanted to buy, Big Dream, who has always had a good temper, slapped the headquarters without complaining to the teacher, and the teacher decided to punish the headquarters after weighing, and the headquarters went to apologize to Big Dream, but Big Dream slapped the headquarters again in front of the teacher.
Known: 1 Big Dream just punched Paramount to the hospital two months ago who wanted to trip him
2 Big Dream has been very well-behaved in the process of communicating with the teacher, and this is the first time in many years that it is unreasonable
Q: What exactly does Big Dream want to do?
How would Robert solve this problem? He will inevitably start with the only unclear factor on the subject - the headquarters has obtained the secret of Big Dream through some means, and this means seems to be the key piece missing from the puzzle: Big Dream should have the ability to put the headquarters in the hospital, and the fact that he did not choose to do so shows that he really does not want to break away from Disney and make everything out of control. But its emotions have not been able to subside after the department's apology, indicating that the department's apology is useless, and even the department's insincere apology has attracted Dameng's dissatisfaction with the teacher, who now suspects that the teacher is either overly incompetent or deliberately biased - so he slapped the teacher in front of the teacher again, and the teacher's previous method of calming the controversy did not play a role, but made both students very dissatisfied, which also made the teacher look a little stupid.
So, this is the question of Big Dreams: In such a situation, who will the teacher hate more?
Is it the headquarters that first flirts with the cheap, and then makes mistakes again and again, conceals from the teacher, and does not confess the key elements? Or is it an overreaction, once the bottom of the big dream that the six relatives don't recognize?
This has to take into account the teacher's own personality - Robert is not unable to tolerate the careful thinking of his subordinates, and even before he makes a statement, the more careful thoughts and small actions the better, which makes it easier for him to see the situation more clearly and make judgments. But after he made a statement, he must hope that the matter will end here, and not give birth to variables, even if this can't be done, after the communication between the two sides is over - after your statement is made, all this should end here, and any concerns, grievances, and worries about his disposal plan can be said as part of his statement, but concealing it and not reporting it, or even deliberately misleading and ignoring, which is completely unacceptable - the headquarters got the secret of the big dream, and Virgilia did not come today, When Robert mentioned her just now (Jenny didn't believe he wasn't intentionally tempting), Cesare and her cold reaction was actually enough for him to reason about the result, and Big Dream's hostile reaction to Dick also showed a point: Dick didn't cover this point at all in his apology, didn't solve the problem, and of course didn't take the initiative to mention that Big Dream might have been deeply stimulated, maybe mixed with personal emotions in it, he completely ignored this part and didn't mention it.
Such a big thing, do you say that you can ignore it? Normal people know that if you don't solve this problem, the whole thing will not end, so if you don't keep quiet, let me arrange this party, are you kidding me?
As for Big Dream, slapping him in the face is of course extremely faceless, but if you put it from the perspective of Big Dream as Robert understands it, such a big thing, you Dick apologize vaguely and it's all over? Robert didn't say anything more either? Are you united in your intention to oppress me?
Or did Dick not tell Robert at all, and you didn't even notice it, Robert?
This slap can be said to be a statement of the big dream, or it can be said to be the temptation of the big dream: if you want to bully me, this matter is not over, I am still hooking up with the five major outside, and I can leave at any time.
- And if you didn't know it before......
Well, then after this slap, you should also know, if you can't notice it, then you are no longer qualified to talk to me......
A person who likes to play intellectual games will not take intellectual provocation to heart, which will even make them feel the pleasure of meeting their opponents in chess, on the contrary, what they hate most is to despise the existence of their own intelligence. - You Dick. Is Cook flouting my intellect? Not only have you despised my intellect, but you have betrayed my trust! I treat you as my own person and want to protect you, so in the face of the big dream of 'having me without him', I tried my best to mediate and be thoughtful, but you directly perfunctory me, let me step into the void, and even fell into the disadvantage in this intellectual dialogue, and became the tested side: and only a year ago, I was still Jennifer. Jefferson's mentor!
The same is not respected, Dick's disrespect is completely deathly, and Big Dream can be said to have a reason, if the speculation is true, it is indeed understandable, and even worthy of sympathy, at least it will no longer fall behind on the balance of feelings - before that, although Robert chose to appease Big Dream, but in fact, for Big Dream, because of their background, they are still naturally at a disadvantage: if they change places, the first to stir up trouble is Big Dream, then can they apologize and end there? Would Robert still think about both? This can't be, after all, the department is his own son, no matter how Robert spoils his daughter, it is impossible to ignore the thoughts of the department, when he thinks about dealing with Dick, in addition to his personal feelings for Dick, he also has a deep affection for the company of the department, and he will dispose of Dick because he wants to run away because of his big dreams? It's difficult, it's a bit of a breakthrough for him.
But now, everything is different......
Seeing that Robert's expression changed several times, and then did not walk towards him, but hurried in the direction where Willow and Dick had disappeared before, Jenny controlled herself, not wanting to show too a smug smile, raised her glass, and gently touched the rim of Cesare's glass. “――Cheers。”
Cesare's eyes followed Robert's back, but he was much more calm and reserved than Jenny.
"This is just the first step." He took a sip of the contents of the cup, and there was not much joy in it, as if for him, the success of this step was taken for granted, "The point is in the next step." ”
"yes." Jenny took a breath and drank the slightly astringent soda, although it was a rare moment for her to take the initiative to have a drink, but tonight she did not allow the interference of alcohol, unlike the battle-hardened Cesare, she needed to meet the challenge with 100% sobriety, "The focus is always on the next step, isn't it......" ==============
I don't want to say anything anymore
