Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0517: Teaching People to Pick Up Girls
"I heard it, Nan Yi, do you really not care if Liu Zhen gives birth to a girl?"
"Master Ren, look at what you said. I don't have a throne waiting for my child to inherit, so I don't have to give birth to a prince."
"You don't have the throne, but don't you have a noble family name to inherit? Don't I know the little thoughts of you men?" Ren Xia's face was full of disdain as she spoke.
"Hehe." Nan Yi just smiled shyly and didn't retort, "You guys chat, I'm going to Xueyin."
After Nan Yi left, Ren Xia said to Liu Zhen, "Why has Nan Yi changed so much? He is so fake. He went to the toilet when he wanted to and went to Xueyin. Why didn't he say he was going to Hunxuan or Dengdong?"
"Teacher Ren, you don't know, Nan Yi is very good at pretending. He acts like a decent person outside, but when he talks to me at home, he spits shit and piss. The most polite thing he says is fart. Don't expect him to spit out ivory from his dog's mouth."
Ren Xia burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, Liu Zhen, if you say that about Nan Yi, be careful that he might punish you."
"If he dares, I have the imperial sword in my hand, so I am not afraid of his stabbing."
Nan Yi left Ren Xia's office and found a corner in the corridor to stay.
He didn't really need to go to the toilet, he just wanted to leave some space for the two women who were about to emerge from their cocoons and become shameless old women to talk dirty and tell dirty jokes.
Once a woman becomes pregnant, not only will her maternal instinct become stronger, but her thick skin will also be strengthened. Some jokes that she would only dare to tell in the dormitory late at night before, she will half-concealedly tell in public once she becomes an expectant mother.
Liu Zhen would still maintain some restraint in front of Nan Yi and would not vent her true emotions from the bottom of her heart. Nan Yi brought Liu Zhen to see Ren Xia with the intention of letting her relax and vent her emotions.
If a man and a woman have feelings for each other, they will consciously or unconsciously magnify their good side and hide their bad side.
If this behavior is controlled by reason, then the possibility of a good ending for the two people is low; if this behavior is controlled by hormones, then the two people can basically stay together to the end.
Perhaps because of the fear of losing, or perhaps because of a little uneasiness, Liu Zhen has not completely let go of herself.
Nan Yi hopes that she can let go as soon as possible and not restrain herself too much.
As long as the two of them keep going forward, the full truth will be exposed one day. It is better to come early than late.
Standing in the corridor, Nan Yi looked down at a skinny guy with curly hair, who was stuffing something into the hand of a girl opposite him. Nan Yi couldn't see clearly what it was, but he could see that the girl didn't take it at all. She just said something, then turned and left, leaving the skinny guy alone.
The skinny monkey stood there blankly for a while and was about to turn around and leave when Nan Yi whistled, attracting the skinny monkey's attention.
When he saw Nan Yi, the skinny monkey smiled and said loudly: "Brother Nan, why are you here?"
"I heard there's a confession scene here. I'm waiting to see it. Dongfang, which one are you singing?"
Yu Dongfang scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Brother Nan, please stop laughing at me. I feel wronged and failed again."
"Okay, stop standing down there and come up to talk."
"good."
Yu Dongfang responded and ran towards Nan Yi. In less than half a minute, he stood next to Nan Yi.
"Brother Nan, why are you here today?"
"I'm here with my wife to see Ms. Ren from the Student Affairs Office. She was our counselor back then. What about you? Why aren't you going home during the summer vacation? Why are you staying at school?"
"My English teacher, Mr. Tao, is going to publish an English textbook, so I'm staying here to help him with some proofreading work."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Not bad, you are actively trying to get close to the teacher, do you want to stay in school?"
"I want to stay in school, and things are going well. I can basically stay in school." Yu Dongfang said a little complacently.
"It's good to stay in school. Your current job assignment situation is not as good as ours. In the past, most of the good jobs could be assigned to a good unit as long as your performance in school was not too bad. Now good jobs are becoming increasingly rare. Do you think your performance in class is good?"
"No, I can only be considered average, not as good as the best but better than the worst."
"Then staying in school is a good choice for you. Are you determined to stay in school now?"
Yu Dongfang paused and said, "Yes, I have decided."
"Well, if you run into any problems with staying in school, just let me know. I have some connections in school and can help you get some advice."
"That's great, Brother Nan, thank you." Yu Dongfang said excitedly.
"Thanks for nothing. Just try to avoid embarrassing yourself in the future." Nan Yi put his arm around Yu Dongfang's shoulder and said, "Tell me, how many girls have you confessed to just now?"
Yu Dongfang blushed at Nan Yi's question and stammered, "Ten... eighteen."
"That's awesome! Do you confess your feelings to pretty girls whenever you see them?"
"No... not that exaggerated. I only confess to the type I like. It's embarrassing. I have never been successful. They always reject me on the spot." Yu Dongfang said self-deprecatingly : "Maybe it's because I'm too ugly."
"No." Nan Yi stretched out his index finger and shook it, saying, "It has nothing to do with being ugly. There are many cases where a coward gets a good job. The reason why you failed to confess your love is because you confessed too frequently and your determination was not strong enough. You went there with the attitude of just in case, right? Success is the best, if not, just try the next one."
"almost."
Yu Dongfang scratched his head again.
"There's something wrong with your tactics. Let me tell you, you need to choose one to three targets, and then investigate their information, get everything clear, including their family relationships, love history, who they're close to, and so on.
This is the first step - intelligence gathering.
The second step is to develop a strategy. I can summarize it in one sentence: disguise yourself as the person she likes.
Then comes the third step - showing courtesy. I don’t need to say much about how to show courtesy. You should have seen many actual examples in your daily life.
The key to success is the fourth, fifth, and sixth steps..."
"Brother Nan, please tell me quickly, what are the next three steps?" Seeing that Nan Yi was keeping it in suspense, Yu Dongfang asked hurriedly.
Nan Yi chuckled and said, "The fourth step is persistence, the fifth step is shamelessness, the sixth step is persistence and shamelessness. If your confession is rejected, don't give up immediately, and continue to be attentive, unless the girl says to you, 'If you keep pestering me, I will die in front of you.'
You are just pursuing someone, not taking their life. Don't wait until they really die in front of you.
Finally, I have a piece of advice: Don’t let your own efforts move you so much that you mistakenly think the girl you’re pursuing is your soulmate.
Brother, that's not love, that's just your unwillingness."
"Brother Nan, is this how you got my sister-in-law?" After listening to Nan Yi's six-step strategy, Yu Dongfang seemed to have an epiphany.
"No, I was pursued by your sister-in-law. She just threw herself at me..."
"Nan Yi, do you have any shame? Who jumped on you?"
Nan Yi was bragging when two pregnant women with bulging bellies walked up to him and Yu Dongfang.
"Okay, your sister-in-law is here, and we are going to have dinner. I won't take you with me today. Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, you wait for me at the east gate of the school. I will treat you to barbecue and we will have a few drinks." Nan Yi patted Yu Dongfang's shoulder and said.
"OK."
Nan Yi walked behind Ren Xia and Liu Zhen and escorted the two of them towards the faculty and staff cafeteria.
"Nan Yi, who was that male student just now? Which department is he from?"
"From the Spanish Department, Yu Dongfang. I met him before graduation. He was from the class of 1980. He took a year off and is planning to stay on. He's the senior classmate. Dongfang is nice."
"I can't really help you much by staying in school, but I can say a few words for you."
"It's good enough that you can say a word for me. This kid has never come to visit you." Nan Yi said with a laugh.
"What dock or no dock? Who do you think I am? A gangster from the Green Gang in Shanghai in the old society?" Ren Xia said angrily.
"Haha, Mr. Ren, how could you be a gangster with your demeanor? You are definitely Jin Bihui."
"Nan Yi, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth to pieces. Liu Zhen, you're right, your husband can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
"Teacher Ren, don't pay attention to him. Let's go our own way. I'm telling you, we're eating maternity meals at home, which are tasteless. I've been thinking about having a meal outside to satisfy my hunger. Is the staff cafeteria still the same Chef Zhang?"
"Yes, Chef Zhang's cooking skills are beyond reproach. You are lucky to have come this time. If you come later, you won't be able to enjoy his dishes."
"Why, he's retiring?"
The two pregnant women started whispering to each other, and Nan Yi was left alone there again.
This situation continued until Ren Xia's husband Zheng Ming arrived, and the two men escorted their pregnant women back to their respective homes.
"Who was that Yu Dongfang just now?" Liu Zhen asked on the way back to the old villa.
Nan Yi frowned and said, "You don't even know him?"
"Famous?"
"It's not a famous name, but you should have heard of his name, Liu Zhen, you are wrong."
"What's wrong? Don't you know that Yu Dongfang made a big mistake?" Liu Zhen asked in confusion.
"Yes, if you don't know him, it means you have made a big mistake. Mr. Liu, you haven't forgotten the Zigong Fund we established, have you?"
"How could I forget? My signature is required for all grants." Liu Zhen said with a pout.
"He is the first student sponsored by the Zigong Fund. You actually asked me who he is. You are amazing."
"Humph, the fund has sponsored so many students, how can I remember them all?"
Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't remember, then forget it. It's just a small matter."
"Nan Yi, are you particularly optimistic about Yu Dongfang? That's why you pay so much attention to him and even want to treat him to a meal?"
"Do I have to think highly of him before I can invite him to dinner? Can't I just make friends?"
"Stop it. You are such a utilitarian person. If you take the initiative to make friends with someone, it must be helpful to the Nan Group. You think he has investment value, otherwise you wouldn't invite him to dinner."
Nan Yi laughed and said, "For two strangers to come together and become friends, both parties must have something that the other party needs, which can be tangible or intangible.
Helping each other in career, spiritual resonance, etc.
If your friend doesn’t have what you need, would you still be friends with her?”
"What if I simply admire someone, or just like to take care of her?" Liu Zhen asked back.
"Isn't appreciation some kind of spiritual resonance? When you say care, I understand it as her being unable to help you, but you've been helping her?"
Liu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "That's about right."
"Then reflect on why it was 'her' who was helped, and not someone else? I can tell you directly that it was because you and she resonated with each other on some point, and because she aroused your impulse to take care of her.
From another perspective, she satisfies your psychological need to take care of someone, and she also gives something to you, a passively stimulated giving.
Just like the reason why you and I can be together is because we each have what the other needs.
There is no such thing as one person being kind to another person without getting anything in return. In the process of being kind, the reward has actually been fed back to you, but it is possible that the person involved is not aware of it. "
"You mean that doing this will give people a kind of spiritual satisfaction?"
"Yes, that's how I understand it. When you do a good thing, you get rewards right away, psychologically and spiritually."
Liu Zhen brushed her hair and said, "You made my hair a bit messy, I need to straighten it out."
"Just stroke it slowly."
