National Tide 1980.

Chapter 380
"The friendship between people requires not only sincerity, but also gratitude and appropriate feedback. In fact, no one in the world should help others for granted. But the mistake people often make most is to regard other people's help as their own. As it should be."

"That's right, a true friend should be loyal. But what is loyalty? My understanding is that, in addition to helping each other as much as possible, what's more important is that you can't cause trouble to your friends, and you can't let them suffer. You must be grateful. The heart, the kindness to treat friends. The truth is that there is coming and going.”

"Just like today, when we just met, everyone expressed their willingness to help me, and I saw the meaning of your friends. But whose face are you aiming at? Huo Xin's face. This is because of the relationship between you The relationship is in place. On the other hand, we are still strangers. What face do I have? If you talk about it alone, it is normal for you not to help me. "

"In addition, the favor you are going to help is not a small favor. In terms of value, my yard cost tens of thousands. Moreover, this is a matter of relocating a cultural association, which involves the resettlement of dozens of people. For such a big event, there must be a lot of resistance. I have asked, and everyone scratched their heads. If you really help me, in my opinion, the price must be high. If I can’t make what I should pay back .Then what have I become?"

"To put it bluntly, isn't that a shameless villain who wants to take advantage of Huo Xin's friendship with everyone. Isn't this kind of behavior a hooligan? If I am such a person, am I worthy to sit with everyone? I Of course I can’t do that, I can only thank Bumin.”

It was through these remarks that Ning Weimin successfully elevated his image by a large margin.

Because no one doesn't like people who know how to exchange at equal value and who know how to repay their kindness.

No one can underestimate such a sophisticated and self-respecting person.

In fact, it wasn't until this step that Ning Weimin made the young masters on the opposite side take a high look at him.

Like Wu Shen, nodding involuntarily while listening.

And Li Zhong gave Ning Weimin another cigarette after he finished speaking.

After all, there are too many people around them who are thinking about taking advantage and making money.

And there are only a few people like Ning Weimin who know the depth and know how to advance and retreat.

But then again, speaking too beautifully can also cause rebellion.

Huo Xin finally couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, you are so petty. It's a simple matter, but you still set up obstacles for yourself."

"I said you don't want to do such a thing, can you? I myself, and my friends, no one wants to repay you."

"According to your theory, is it possible to score points for being friends? You also need to see if the other party can give you any practical benefits? You have already called the word 'friendship' a philistine..."

This kind of accusation is really a bit embarrassing.

But Ning Weimin showed no embarrassment, instead he shook his head and refuted her again.

"Little comrade, why don't you say that you are young, and you look at problems with the mentality of a child. You think the world is too simple and idealized. Isn't it true that like attracts like and divides people into groups? Then why are we here today? None of the people at this party are repairing water pipes or sweeping the streets?"

"There is also the issue of proper repayment. Of course, those who help can take the initiative to ask not to. But those who accept good intentions can't think about it. I absolutely don't agree with you calling this kind of thing a philistine. Because no matter how strong it is Friendship can't stand only giving without giving back. Once or twice is fine, but ten times or twenty times?"

"I can understand that in the eyes of many people, it would be awkward to ask a friend for help and give something back. For example, eating a meal or giving something as a gift is like selling friendship cheaply and making a friend's friendship look vulgar. But in In my opinion, this kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable. A moderate expression of gratitude is very necessary."

"Perhaps I really don't know the nobler ways. But I can at least express my gratitude clearly in this way. It's not about the value of the gift, but the expression of my heart. The point is that I must Only by 'speaking' out can people 'hear' and know how much I care about this matter and how important it is for me to do this favor."

"I absolutely believe in the abilities of all of you here. Maybe it's really like what someone said just now. The big trouble in my eyes is just a matter of effort to everyone. But even so, I can't pretend to be stupid. Because for me, friends are the biggest If you lose money, you still have the opportunity to get it back through ingenuity. But if you lose a friend, there is often no second chance..."

To be honest, no one has ever talked about material rewards so righteously and elevated them to such a high position.

It was like a big pot of hot and fragrant chicken soup was brought to the table, and immediately all these people present were bewildered.

The direct result was that Huo Xin was so convinced by Ning Weimin that he kept silent.

Jiang Hui looked at Ning Weimin with an expression of appreciation.

Li Zhong and Wu Shen were fooled into applauding Ning Weimin's words together.

"Giving righteousness and wealth, good! Oh, buddy, people like you are rare, what you said is meaningful..."

"Hey, my old Wu loves to make friends like you! I just said this to you, I regard you as a buddy..."

Even Jiang Hao couldn't fault Ning Weimin's words.

There is no way, Ning Weimin is definitely a master of masters.

Not only the lines and acting skills pass the test, but also how to exaggerate the atmosphere.

It's like a movie with background music, which greatly increases his personal charm.

So don't look at him meeting these people for the first time, but it's just such a simple few minutes of conversation.

It's hard for these people not to have a good impression of Ning Weimin at first sight.

But Jiang Hao is a vigilant person after all, and his family background and talent higher than his peers have also formed his proud personality.

The better Ning Waimin's speech and demeanor, the more he shattered his optimism in the past, and he had the urge to compare with it, or even to confront it.

So his mood is very complicated, including jealousy, envy, appreciation and sympathy, and it is difficult to adjust for a while.

Even completely out of defensive behavior to maintain his self-dignity, subconsciously, he was still racking his brains to find fault.

Soon, his eyes lit up, and he questioned Ning Weimin again.

"Brother, it's the first time I've seen you who can speak so well. But I don't understand. What is the purpose of your visit today? You don't want our help, but you also want to make friends. Thank you Huo Xin, I blame her for being inappropriate for you. There is also the matter of your house, do you want to solve it? Don’t you feel that your expressions are a bit self-confident and contradictory? And what do you think the appropriate return is? What? Can you explain clearly?"

Having said that, the atmosphere changed again.

As a result, those who had initially trusted Ning Weimin showed doubts again.

"No contradiction, no contradiction at all." Ning Weimin looked at Jiang Hao without fear.

"These are all very easy to explain. Huo Xin is indeed a very interesting person. In fact, she can introduce you to me and bring me to this party, which is already a great favor. Of course I have to thank her."

"But on the other hand, I'm afraid Huo Xin still doesn't know what kind of human price she has to pay for doing this favor to me. The key is that she doesn't understand, and her family must understand. I'm a grassroots person, and I don't want to give myself Make trouble."

"Of course I want to solve the house issue, but it can't be done overnight. Fortunately, my conditions are in line with the policy, and I have land deeds. In addition, I am quite patient and will continue to work hard to find a suitable one. Opportunity. I believe that no matter how troublesome this problem is, it will be resolved one day.”

"To be honest, I'm here to make friends. You can think that I'm here to solve the house problem, or you can think that I'm here to solve other problems. I don't shy away from the fact that I have a certain utilitarian purpose in making friends. sex, but the key lies in congeniality, and certain values ​​must first reach a consensus.”

"As for what is appropriate to repay, how do I treat my friends? I think it's better to speak with actions. No matter how nice it sounds, it's not as good as it is actually done. As long as we get along for a long time, you don't need me to say anything, you will understand I mean it. And some small sincerity, I can be the first to express it."

"For example, if any of you need Pierre Carton's suit, you can go to me in the future. I can make the decision and sell it to everyone with a [-]% discount, and there is no need for a foreign exchange certificate. How about it? This discount, is it reasonable?"

Glancing at Jiang Hui, he followed Ning Weimin and made a special addition.

"It's the same for women. Although we mainly promote men's suits, we still have a lot of beautiful women's suits."

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed again.

After all, Pierre Carton was already well-known, and wearing such clothes would give him face, and no one would refuse such affordable benefits.

Especially Jiang Hui, as a woman, it is natural to love beauty, and she is even more happy.

However, Jiang Hao was the only one who was unmoved, and instead forced him to ask a question.

"Isn't that right? According to your logic, shouldn't you ask for reciprocity? Since it's an exchange of equal value, why don't you make a condition and give us benefits for nothing? Conversely, we don't want to be rewarded for nothing. Ah, wouldn't that be the shameless villain you said who took advantage of nothing..."

Ning Weimin responded with a high hat.

"It's serious. To be honest, although I don't know everyone's identities, I can be sure. All of you here are people with more energy than me. So we can't be compared at all."

"Even if you accept my little idea, you have a solid mind. Because you don't have to doubt at all, you can make up for this favor at any time."

"The reverse is also the same. What I am good at is in other places. For example, the discount of this clothing. It is just a small sincerity to me, and it is not a human relationship, just like the relationship in your hands. I ask for help, Wouldn’t it make people laugh and be generous if they only return these things?”

As he said that, Ning Weimin changed the subject and said something surprising.

"Why don't I just tell you the truth. Let's see if we can deepen our friendship. I need to get to know the people in the bank now and exchange the old banknotes for some new ones. If anyone has this relationship, can you help me?" This is a small favor of mine. I can give everyone a Pierre Carton for free, without taking any money..."
