Chapter 25 The Fifth and Sixth Skills: Clever use of hints is better than outspoken words

Suggestion is a special way of mutual influence between people. For a certain purpose, the hinter adopts an obscure and implicit method to subtly send some kind of information to the other party, and use this to influence the other party's psychology, making them feel better. Accepting certain opinions, information or changing one's behavior unconsciously. During the Great Depression in the United States, a seventeen-year-old girl was lucky enough to find a job as a salesperson in a high-end jewelry store.One day, a young man came to the store, dressed in rags, with a sad face, and his eyes were always fixed on the gem jewelry.

At this time, the phone rang, and the girl went to answer the phone, and accidentally knocked over a plate, and six gemstone rings fell to the ground.She hurriedly picked up five of them, but couldn't find the sixth one.At this moment, she saw the ragged young man walking towards the door in a panic.Suddenly, she realized where the sixth ring was.When the young man came to the door, she stopped him and said: sorry sir! The young man turned around and asked: What's up? The girl looked at his twitching face and said nothing. The young man added another sentence: What's up? The girl said sadly:

Sir, this is my first time working, it's hard to find a job now, isn't it? The young man glanced at the girl nervously; a smile appeared on his convulsed face, and he replied: Yes, indeed. girl said: If I were you, you'd do a great job here! Finally, the young man stepped back, held out his hand to her, and said: can i bless you The girl immediately stretched out her hand, both hands clenched together.Still the girl said in a very soft voice: Good luck to you too! The young man turned and left.The girl went to the counter and put back the sixth ring she was holding in her hand.

It was a case of theft, and the usual way people deal with it is to yell and try to catch the thief.However, the girl achieved the goal of getting the thief to return the stolen goods with a polite hint. The thief did not make a fool of himself in public, and corrected his mistake very decently. And a witty allusion to the story: In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the tax was so strict that the common people could not afford heavy taxation.At that time, there was a severe drought in the capital, and the people were in dire straits. One day, Liezu asked his ministers: It's raining in other places, but why doesn't it rain in the capital?

When the minister Shen Jiangao heard this, he just seized this opportunity to remonstrate, but he couldn't speak bluntly, so he said humorously: Because Yu was afraid of taxation, he dared not enter the capital. Liezu was born wise and knew what his words implied. After laughing for a while, he issued an imperial decree to reduce taxes and let the people recuperate. Minister Shen Jiangao used a humorous remark to imply that Liezu wanted to reduce taxes, but he did not expect to receive such a miraculous effect and did a good deed for the people.
