Mrs. Tong is a business owner who runs the market and manages the wholesale business. She haggles with various small vendors and has developed a sharp tongue, which even Sun Lifang finds difficult to handle.

Some topics that close friends discuss in private are not convenient to bring to the stage.

But who knew that Mrs. Tong would delve deeper into this issue today—

"Why won't you let your Mr. Zhou have a drink? Is there something else planned for tonight?"

At this point, Mrs. Tong chuckled mischievously and raised an eyebrow.

Unable to discuss sex with a group of people at the table, Sun Lifang glared at Mrs. Tong resentfully, telling her to shut up.

But unexpectedly, someone pinched her hand under the table. Sun Lifang turned to look at Zhou Yunshi, only to see that he did not deny it, but simply picked up the bottled water next to him and smiled.

This move is tantamount to an admission.

Sun Lifang's ears turned red, and she was about to say something when she heard a man's clear laughter from beside her, "We have to listen to whatever our wives say, Lao Tong, don't you think?"

His wife wouldn't let him drink alcohol, so Zhou Yunshi casually had the wine glasses removed and replaced with tea.

Tong Guichun had just appeased his wife and now was the time to show off, so he nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Of course, I listen to my wife too."

After saying that, he leaned forward and raised his glass to clink glasses with Zhou Yunshi.

In a quiet and uneventful moment, the "smoke of battle" vanished without a trace.

Sun Lifang hadn't let go of the hand under the table yet, but she had already breathed a sigh of relief.

If you think about it seriously, this is actually a kind of ability.

If someone makes a suggestive, inappropriate joke to you in public, just go along with it; you're too uncomfortable.

If you don't answer, you'll just be ridiculed for following their lead.

Sun Lifang secretly realized that she lacked social experience and that Zhou Yunshi was much more capable.

He used minimal force to achieve maximum effect, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he said everything.

They even threw the topic back—

The idea of ​​shifting blame eastward is undeniable, no matter what Mrs. Tong says.

Besides, she was just joking, so you can't just click on it.

This is a game of strategy between adults.

Sun Lifang, who was protected at home, encountered her biggest troubles at work, as she was very direct and focused on the issues at hand.

Management, on the other hand, often deals with people.

In interpersonal relationships, the skills of emotional intelligence are equivalent to corporate diplomacy.

Although she didn't directly enter the "shopping mall," Sun Lifang immediately recognized her shortcomings based solely on Mrs. Tong's two sentences today.

She's not "street smart" enough.

What will we do then?

When it comes to social interactions, money or a few words can't solve everything.

Thinking about her career, Sun Lifang began to feel anxious.

When you don't understand your own shortcomings, you can comfortably be a freeloader.

But when you've reached a certain stage, you realize you lack effective business negotiation skills—

Can you still sit down?

It's like a teacher walking up to you to collect homework, and you realize you've only written two lines.

The man and woman at the table were still getting along well. Sun Lifang had a smile on her face, but she was thinking about how to improve her communication skills.

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Tong finally fed her daughter a small bowl of rice.

After that, Tong Beibei stopped eating it altogether.

"I want to play! I want to play with Sister Ya Ya!"

Then she ran up to Sun Lifang and asked, "Auntie~ Where is Sister Yaya?"

Children don't like listening to adults chat, so Zhou Xinya finished her meal early and went to her room to read comic books.

Since starting kindergarten, Zhou Xinya has refused to play with "little kids" anymore.

Little children like to play with older children, but older children don't want to play with them.

Zhou Xinya is in this situation now—

She wouldn't have asked Tong Beibei to hang out unless she was extremely bored.

Sun Lifang knew this, and seized the opportunity to get up and say, "Come on, Auntie will take you there."

That brat Zhou Xinya even locked the door.

Sun Lifang led Beibei through another living room in the house and knocked on her daughter's door, "Yaya, open the door, it's time to cut the cake for Daddy in a bit."

"Are you coming out if you're eating cake?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinya naturally came out.

Adult conversations at the dinner table are very boring for children, and the extracurricular books Zhou Xinya reads were borrowed with Sun Lifang's permission.

Reading books is always better than watching TV.

As soon as the door opened, Tong Beibei rushed in, exclaiming, "Sister Yaya, what are you doing?"

"Read a book."

Zhou Xinya is now like a fickle "scumbag," ignoring his former close friends.

In general, it is still—

"Tong Beibei is too stupid."

Zhou Xinya ran back and told Sun Lifang, "She doesn't understand anything and she even ruined my book."

Tong Beibei was curious about what book Zhou Xinya was reading, so she borrowed her book to read at home.

I borrowed the storybook with the most illustrations, which was Zhou Xinya's favorite.

Not only did I not understand it, but it also made me feel oily.

Zhou Xinya felt sorry for her for a long time and complained to Sun Lifang, "I don't want to play with her anymore, but she always sticks to me."

There's a little society among children too, so Sun Lifang couldn't say her daughter was wrong. She just said, "Beibei is still young. She won't be like this when she grows up."

Aren't you good friends?

Good friends should help each other.

Seeing her favorite book all dirty and Tong Beibei still looking completely oblivious, Zhou Xinya decided to stop playing with Tong Beibei.

Sun Lifang was very clear about this.
