Chapter 31: Sit and Talk
All the members of the Creeper Special Operations Group praised Boss Wu's insight, but what they didn't understand was that everyone returned to the hotel at the same time, and before the innkeeper did not point it out, this Boss Wu thought that the robbers had come to the hotel.
Qiao Xiaojing asked the reason, but Boss Wu smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a small skill of carving insects." ”
Such an answer obviously could not convince Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big man who had been in battle for a long time, and they all showed puzzled expressions, their eyes were blazing, staring at Boss Wu.
"Originally," Boss Wu smiled, "If you don't say it, it's still a little mysterious, and if you say it, it won't be interesting at all." When we first returned to the hotel, we knocked on the door repeatedly, but the innkeeper just wouldn't open the door, and the big man came forward to scare him, and the innkeeper actually answered. He confirmed our identity through the sound of our voices, that is, we were travelers going out in the dark, not bandits who came to attack us at night, and that opened the door to us, didn't he?"
"That's right," Qiao Xiaojing nodded, "That's true." ”
"The door is open," said Boss Wu, "the innkeeper saw clearly that it was us, and beckoned us in, waving and urging us in, looking very nervous and anxious, as if he was afraid that someone would see us outside the door, or that someone would sneak in when we entered." If he was a little worried and nervous, it was reasonable, because there were bandits in the town, and many people were suffering from them, which was a normal move. But it would be a little extraordinary for him to be overly frightened, and though he had gone through a period of calm, he still had palpitations to that extent. ”
"How do you say it?" Qiao Xiaojing was like a studious student, staring intently at Boss Wu who was answering questions.
The same is true for the others, listening carefully and carefully to Boss Wu's analysis and explanation.
"Seeing us," said Boss Wu, "the innkeeper is overly nervous, which can only indicate three situations, one is that he has just done something unseemly, the other is that he has not been frightened for a long time, and the third situation is that he has done something sorry for us, and now we suddenly appear in front of him, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while." ”
"Makes sense!" everyone nodded in unison.
"I think," said the boss of the inn, "that, according to the look and attitude of the innkeeper, the possibility of the first and third cases can be completely ruled out, and this is why it is said that it is all due to human nature. If someone has done something unseemly, or done something sorry for the other party, and when he sees the other party suddenly appear, his first reaction must be surprise, and then he tries to control his emotions, deliberately adjust his demeanor, and cover up his change in mentality, because he is weak, he panics, and he doesn't want people to know that he has done unsightly things and sorry for others. ”
"Hmm. The crowd still nodded their heads in agreement.
"And the second situation is different," Boss Wu said with a smile, "People are frightened, emotions tend to last for a period of time, the more serious the fright, the longer the tension and anxiety will last, obviously this innkeeper is this kind of performance, just imagine, as a business is light, almost no customers innkeeper, what can make him appear in that state, combined with the reason for the panic in the town at the moment, I naturally think of the gang of bandits in the north of the town." ”
"I see. Qiao Xiaojing and the generals seemed to understand.
"Next," continued Boss Wu, "I preconceived in order to prove my judgment, and directly said such things as the robbers, so that the innkeeper could answer without much time to think about it, but in fact it was just to get the truth, or a more real situation." This is just a guess on my part, but the good news is that my guess was correct. ”
"Amazing, amazing!" Everyone admired Boss Wu's strong logical reasoning ability and ability to grasp people's inner changes, and unanimously gave Boss Wu a round of applause.
"Don't don't," Boss Wu said with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's just a small skill of carving insects, why be so amazed? It's almost dawn, hurry up, go to sleep! Everyone sleeps peacefully, no matter what happens, wait until dawn to talk about it." ”
Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi returned to their rooms, excited and restless for a long time, and fell asleep when it was close to dawn.
Dazhi and the big man are both bigger than Qiao Xiaojing, and when they lay down, they snored.
For most of the morning of the second day, Boss Wu and Qiao Xiaojing got up one after another.
Boss Wu woke up earlier than the rest of the Creeper team, and when the others woke up, he was already sitting on the first floor and talking to the innkeeper who had nothing to do.
"Do you know?" said Boss Wu with a smile, "Last night, our young people didn't fully believe in your character, they were always worried that you would go to tell those inhumane and bullying bandits for petty profits, so they didn't sleep for almost a night, and when it was dawn, they also fell asleep." ”
"I thank you for your sincerity," the innkeeper smiled, "don't you have the same thoughts, or worries, as those young men?" I think anyone can have such worries and concerns, and no one is afraid of accidents, and no one is afraid of being hurt, especially the kind of harm that everyone knows very well, and this is human nature, and I will not blame anyone. ”
"You really think too much about this," Boss Wu still said with a smile, "It's no exaggeration to say that since I heard you say that the bandits came and hurt you, I have no worries, no worries, very calm and calm, I am 100% sure that you will not tell the truth, and I am even more sure that you will find ways to ensure that we are thorough." ”
"Why?" said the innkeeper in surprise.
"Because," Boss Wu suddenly became much more serious, and said seriously, "You are a thoughtful businessman with a conscience." ”
"It's true that I'm a businessman, but I don't know if I have a mind or a conscience. ”
"Of course it doesn't matter if you realize it, what matters is that you did it, and what you say and do tells me all this. When the bandits come here to be unreasonable, you weigh the pros and cons, and the average person will not hesitate to confess to us for self-preservation, because this seems to clear the relationship between you and me, and it may save a high protection fee from now on, after all, we are passers-by, and those bandits are the real landlords, the head of the land, and you did not do it. ”
Go on. ”
"It's not that you didn't think of this kind of thought, of course you thought of it, and you think deeper and farther than ordinary people--- ordinary people's thoughts seem to be right, but they invisibly look down on themselves, but they raise up those bandits--- in the past, when the robbers turned their faces, they would have some scruples, and since then, the feng shui has changed, and the robbers want to turn their faces, and those people can only swallow their anger. ”
"Hmph......" The innkeeper looked indifferent.
"And you, you saw this, so you said that the robber turned his face faster than he turned his clothes, so he decided not to do anything, not to provoke those troubled people, and not to let outsiders know that we were here, so that you would be as quiet and safe as you are now, which is not a clever strategy! ”
"Go on. ”
"How can a thoughtless person have such a unique ability to make judgments? Imagine that there are dozens of shops of all sizes on this street, and how many of those shopkeepers can do it?"
"I have to admit that your eloquence is so good! If there is still a high opinion, I am willing to listen to you. ”
"Why you are a businessman with a conscience, it is simpler, because you let us stay, and you are on our side, and not on the opposite side of us, the side of the bandits. Although, in terms of momentum, the bandits have an overwhelming advantage, and we are nothing more than a bunch of unarmed and unarmed outsiders. ”
"Even though you have been intimidated and even hurt by the bandits, you still opened the door for us to stay in your hotel in the middle of the night, and until this time you have not wanted to exchange us for a possible greater benefit, and strive for a possible better situation. In this moment when the heart is like a floating cloud, the virtue is like a flood that is difficult to recover, the people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is hot and cold, isn't this a manifestation of your conscience?"
"Haha, I didn't see that you are talking very interestingly, it seems that people who are away all the year round are really not good at talking!"
"Let's not talk about this for now, just say that what I said makes sense, right?"
"It seems to make sense, but I feel more than far-fetched. ”
This is understandable, because I see you as someone to talk to, and there is a bit of a preconceived element, so you don't feel like an equal one-on-one chat, but a big talk centered on me. However, I don't have any other skills except for talking a lot, and I have to barely find out the same, that is, how much I can read the hearts of others. ”
"Oh," said the innkeeper with a look of astonishment, and said with a smile, "this is interesting, I have never seen anyone who can read the hearts of others, but I have seen it, but I have never understood it." It's great to have this unique job, hurry up, show it off!"
"If the boss likes it, of course I'm happy to do it, but you have to cooperate with me, I can't do the mind reading alone. ”
"No problem. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and there are only a few guests in this hotel, and I am worried that I have nothing to do! ”
"That's great! So let's get started?"
"Let's get started!"
"Okay! You look at me, relax, your eyes are staring at me, thinking about those bandits, thinking about their evil deeds of flying and domineering, bullying men and women, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and thinking about how they treated you last night......"
When this boss Wu spoke, his eyes were staring at the innkeeper's eyes and face, carefully observing every subtle change in this person's eyes and face, and after saying something, he paused slightly, and said with a smile that the innkeeper's state of mind.
When the innkeeper heard this, he almost fell off his stool with an "ah" sound.
