Chapter 120: The Lying Man
How to Conquer a Beautiful Boss – Chapter 1, Section 2
Even whales, traversing the vast oceans, are small and insignificant beings. As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, a thousand creatures thrive." Drifting with the currents, they ultimately perish alone in the ocean, silently becoming the stepping stones for once-overlooked plankton to open the doors to a boss's heart.
With so many followers vying for a boss's attention, how can you make them remember you?
Everyone is confident in their appearance, but unless you're an all-conquering icon like IU, never blindly assume you're the top pick in your circle.
The second-best often lacks memorable value.
Investing effort in self-improvement is both tiresome and time-consuming. So what should you do?
Give them a unique nickname or attach a special label they find interesting.
Shan Chong always bends down to adjust his bindings before taking off on a jump.
Noticing this, Wei Zhi once stood behind him, filming and giggling, "A safety-obsessed, compulsive skier."
Shan Chong uploaded that video to a short video platform with a voiceover in a Northeastern accent: "They say I'm safety-obsessed. What do you think, am I?"
The comments section is filled with "LOLs" and replies like: "You are! I find your caution adorable and want to live longer too."
Combined with Shan Youmu's stunning debut performance, no one ever again claimed Shan Chong was afraid to jump after falling.
Don't ask; he'll just say he values his life. Since he admitted it himself, what more could detractors say? He's simply a cautious skier.
From then on, people at the park stopped asking, "Brother Chong, have you eaten?" Instead, they'd say, "Brother Chong, take it slow and careful, don't fall!"
You see, this was the label Wei Zhi attached to Shan Chong.
It made him memorable.
Now whenever Shan Chong enters the park and hears "Be careful, Brother Chong," he's reminded of Wei Zhi holding the camera, grinning as she calls him safety-obsessed.
He successfully thinks of his wife every time he gets on the slopes – more religiously than praying to Buddha.
The tricky part is striking the right balance.
Three or four years ago, calling Shan Chong safety-obsessed would have angered him.
But now he truly values safety, emphasizing it first in his lessons.
His mindset has changed.
So "labeling" can easily shift from a "special tag" to a "nickname."
It's crucial to understand the person's temperament and sensitive points before attempting this.
Incidentally, Jiang Nanfeng uses this tactic too.
Lao Yan can't remember the last time someone called him by his full name.
When it happened, no one reacted, unsure who was being addressed.
Lao Yan, nearly twenty years old, hadn't heard his full name since high school graduation.
The last time was when he was drunk, pestering her on the couch. Annoyed, she called out his full name.
Lao Yan felt a rush, the alcohol suddenly concentrating at the top of his head.
