"Asking him for money is to appease his heart?" Cheng Jingling was a little puzzled and didn't understand what this was saying.

When he was idle left and right, he took the trouble to explain to him: "People are like this, after being pinched by you, if you don't want anything for them, he will be cranky, his heart is surging, and he is restless. Only by asking him, making him pay, and cutting the flesh on him, will he feel at ease and feel careless. But you also have to grasp the proportion, just right to make him feel pain, and not touch his bottom line, forcing him to fight with you. This thing is called psychology, and the content is too deep to expand, so you just remember this truth. ”

"Oh......" Cheng Jingling responded thoughtfully, and then asked, "But how do you grasp this balance?" How do you know that asking for five silver will only make him feel pain, but will not force him to fight with us? ”

"Well, that's complicated. First of all, you have to know that you are already an outlaw in his eyes, so the upper limit of his tolerance for you is very high, and he will not fight with you easily. Then, he said before that he ate puff pastry elbow during the New Year. The market price of this puff pastry elbow was about forty copper, and it can be inferred that his deposit was at least twenty silver. And from the reaction of me who asked him for twenty silver, I can see that I guessed about the same. After that, he said that he only had three silvers, and note that this was not the lowest bottom line in his heart, but his expectation of paying. If we really only need three silvers, although he will have a little pain, he will feel that he has earned it in his heart, and he will even be happy for his cleverness. So I asked for five silver, which was 80 percent more than he expected, almost just enough for him to accept, and it was very painful......"

Brother Nag threw out a bunch of words, and Cheng Jingling was stunned.

He knew every word in the words, and he understood every word. But when combined, it made him confused and couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Cheng Jingling was a little dizzy, Brother Nag smiled and said: "You don't have to deliberately understand, these things can't be learned just by listening to people, you need to have more contact with people in the future and deal with all kinds of people." The more people I have seen and the more things I have encountered, I will naturally understand many truths. ”

Then, Brother Na's words changed, and he said: "In fact, with your relationship with Liu Xiaowen, you only need to make a little use of it, and many problems encountered in the Liu family can be easily solved." Just like I treated Liu Qiang today, not only can I easily be exempted from labor work, but I can also make some money from them and save it for my own future. Your life doesn't have to be so embarrassing. ”

As for Brother Na's teachings, Cheng Jingling has different thoughts: "Although I followed Sister Xiaowen when I was a child, it was because of her identity as the eldest lady. deliberately approached her to please her, and it was indeed to make himself more comfortable in the Liu family. But after so many years of getting along, I can feel that Sister Xiaowen treats me sincerely, and I really treat her as a sister and a good friend. I don't want to use his fame to seek my own benefit. Otherwise, what is the difference between me and those who approach her with ulterior motives? Of course, today there is no way, it has to be so. ”

"Tsk, what should I say about you...... Slippery and honest? Clever and stupid? You are a private slave, he is the eldest lady, how can the two of them really become friends? Have you ever thought that if it weren't for the booster login to expand your horizons, as you grow older, you may have nothing to say now, and you are drifting away? Even if you can maintain your relationship until now, without a booster login to rewrite your fate, you and Liu Xiaowen will also be people of two worlds in the future. She is the future head of the Liu family, and you can only be a private slave under him forever. Even if she trusts you, at most she will let you be the housekeeper of the Liu family, isn't it still a private slave? She is now willing to secretly stuff you with money and return your free status, but not necessarily in the future, people will change. ”

"I've thought about it, but I still can't do it."

"Okay, let's change the angle. Have you ever thought that if you were a little more utilitarian, you wouldn't have put yourself in a trap today? If you are willing to take advantage of Liu Xiaowen's power to show off your power in the Liu family, no matter how good your relationship with Liu Xiaowen is, the master of the Liu family will not deal with you, but he will cultivate you and treat you as Liu Xiaowen's future confidant. Because in his eyes, such a person is just Liu Xiaowen's subordinate and dogleg, not a private slave friend like you, who has crossed the line. ”

“…… I hadn't thought about that. ”

"Hahaha! If you are just a private slave for the rest of your life, then your character is a fatal flaw, and you are destined to be unpleased. But fortunately, with the booster login, your life will not be ordinary in the future, and your identity in this world will not be ordinary. Your sincere character has turned into a virtue. ”

"It turns out that treating people sincerely also depends on their own identity?"

"Of course! People, you must put yourself in the right position and see your identity clearly. At the very least, on the basis of equal dialogue, your sincerity is valuable, otherwise, it is just a pile of useless garbage. ”

“…… Thank you, brother, I understand. ”

"There is nothing to talk about, I just said a few more words, why bother to say thank you. If you listen to it, if you don't listen to it, just be yourself. Alright, let's go! ”

After chatting with Cheng Jingling for a few words, Brother Na had already finished all the food, and then got up and walked out of the small courtyard.

The alley outside the courtyard was cramped and dark, and excrement could occasionally be seen in the corners of the moss-covered walls, exuding a foul smell, which made Brother Na subconsciously frown.

Fortunately, the location of Cheng Jingling's yard is not bad, at the mouth of the alley, it only takes a few steps to walk out of the alley and come to the road outside.

Walking down the road, not far ahead is North 3rd Street, the largest market in the neighborhood.

In Beicheng, in addition to Beifang City, Beisan Street is one of the most prosperous and lively markets.

Although it was already four o'clock in the evening, that is, around eight o'clock in the evening, there were still people coming and going on North Third Street, and the sound of selling continued.

Some of the shops that are only open at night are full of friends and customers.

A large part of the shops on the North Third Street belong to the Liu family, including grain shops, grocery stores, garment shops, rouge shops, medicinal herb shops, restaurants, inns, and medical halls...... As long as there is a profitable business, the Liu family has almost stepped in.

Because with North Third Street as the center, the northwest of the entire Juma City belongs to the "territory" of the Liu family, and the people in this area are firmly controlled by the Liu family in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and they all need to live on their noses.

The grain business, the foundation industry of the Liu family, is spread all over the city, with nearly 100 grain shops, controlling the ration problem of the people in the city.

Therefore, the Liu family is also called the Liu family, the grain lord of Beicheng, by the people in the city, and Liu Zhenyuan, the head of the Liu family, has the nickname of Liu Mancang.

Cheng Jingling of the North Third Street has been here a few times before, but he has always accompanied Liu Xiaowen. It's the first time I've come by myself like today...... Oh no, he didn't come by himself today, he came with his brother.

Along the side of the street, Brother Na walked very slowly, looking around as he walked, as if he was very curious about the scenery on the street.

I didn't stop until I walked to a shop called Zhen Yao Pavilion.
