Chapter 438 Performance
"Then it's Mr. Zuo Xi. I think your friends all call you that... It's really embarrassing to invite someone like Mr. Zuo Xi to a small tavern like this."
In an unknown, secluded tavern, Zuo Xi, who was invited, and Kawei, the inviter, were sitting opposite each other. A glass of Xumi's local specialty liquor was placed in front of both of them, which was relatively cheap and accessible to everyone.
Kawei is a heavy drinker and likes to drink, and because he is heavily in debt, he can only drink this kind of low-alcohol and very cheap alcohol when he is unhappy.
The quantity is not large and the alcohol content is not high. But even if this is the case, Kawi will still get drunk.
Back to the topic, although Kawei really wanted to invite Zuo Xi to a more upscale tavern. But the other party is a creditor. He has money to go to a high-end pub but no money to repay the debt. It would be unjust to let the other party have such thoughts and lower his evaluation of himself.
Even if you take a step back, the other party is magnanimous and doesn't care about this. There is also a situation where the other party sees that he is short of money and pays the bill secretly.
Kawei really wanted to treat Zuo Xi to a drink, and after all, he wanted to ask someone else today. If he asked the other party to pay the bill, he would not be able to say what he wanted from others.
Therefore, although he was very embarrassed, Kawei finally chose a small place like this.
"It doesn't matter, a small place also has its own unique flavor... In addition, it's very quiet here. It's kind of elegant to have a few drinks in this peaceful atmosphere, isn't it?"
Of course, Zuo Xi's work on the surface was impeccable. After all, although he was essentially a scientific researcher, his identity as a businessman could not be ignored.
In addition, Zuo Xi knew the other party's plan for this meeting. Don't be too impatient when the fish takes the bait. Reeling the line requires a degree of relaxation.
Cooperating with acting quietly is something Zuo Xi is very good at.
"Hahaha, speaking is also an art, and I have fully learned it today.
But then again, my husband actually teaches at the Jiaoling Academy... Not only is he successful in his career, but his academic attainments are also unmatched. Mr. Zuo Xi is indeed a great talent. "
After the greetings, Kawei came up and started the business promotion mode. When you need someone to ask for something, it's normal to say a few nice words and a few compliments at the beginning.
When taking on projects, there will inevitably be dinner parties, and he often encounters similar situations that require him to say compliments.
Generally speaking, as long as the bottom line is not involved, you can still praise Kawei without conscience.
What's more, now he is sincerely praising Zuo Xi.
Although he only went there a few times when he and Elhaysen were familiar with each other; even though he was in the corner those times and didn't listen very clearly; even though his main direction of attack was not mechanically related.
But these few classes still made him realize how advanced Mr. Zuo Xi was in mechanical academics.
At least some of the points put forward by the other party were something he had never heard of before. When he later asked scholars familiar with the matter in the relevant fields for confirmation, they were all admired and shocked.
This alone is enough to show how powerful the opponent is.
And even if we put aside academic achievements, the other party's achievements in life are still beyond reach. If you want to give an example... Actually, there is no need for any example. A Gilded Brigade has exhausted all means to raise five times the entire wealth, which is just a small amount of money that others can easily come up with.
Ekazazale Palace also buys it whenever it wants... In short, the other party's wealth must have reached a level that Kawei can't imagine.
Of course, what Kawei admired more than his wealth was his talent. This is why his praise comes from the heart.
"It's just a little trick, Mr. Carvey was very impressed."
This is not wrong, after all, what Zuo Xi showed was just something that he had eliminated for who knows how long. It's not even the tip of the iceberg. At best, it can only be regarded as a trial work in the research stage.
It's just a little trick, but it's not that he is being modest.
"But then again, Mr. Kawei invited me out this time, maybe it's not just to buy me a drink, right?"
The hot spot was almost getting hot, and Zuo Xi also asked timely questions to guide the topic to a formal conversation.
The relationship between him and Kawei was really not close. If he was suddenly invited to drink, he must have something to discuss with him in person.
Then, on the basis of both parties clearly understanding this. The party that is called out will have varying degrees of dominance depending on the situation.
But no matter what the degree, the party being called out has two choices with clear meaning of reference - take the initiative to bring it up, or pretend to know nothing.
The choice of these two actions respectively represents whether there is an intention to continue the conversation, so Zuo Xi did not wait for Kawei to speak, but took the initiative to ask questions.
This also has another advantage - this behavior will make it more natural for him to agree to the other party's request next time.
Zuo Xi figured out the psychological activities of both parties in this scene, and then acted out the actions he should take at this time.
perfect.
