Emma was distressed to find that he didn't seem interested at all.

There was a hint of pleading when he spoke: "But I have already told my friends and told them that you and I are friends, but many people don't believe it. Do you want to see the word liar written on the door of my bookcase, Mason?"

Han Chudong didn't know the whole story, but he was an experienced person and knew that young people, both men and women, care about their reputation.

After putting the labels on, he closed the book "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and said to Emma with a smile: "Maybe we can think of another way, such as taking a photo together. They will believe it with the photo. High school dances are usually attended with boyfriends. To be honest, if I go to your school's dance, I might really get into some trouble..."

When I first met Emma, ​​she was quirky. With the shock of her parents' divorce, she seemed to have grown up a little. But recently, she seemed to have recovered and is not as depressed or distressed anymore.

She knew how to deal with Han Chudong, so she put on a pitiful look and begged, "Not all couples are at the dance. My friend will ask her brother to attend, and some will ask neighbors in the same community for help. No one will misunderstand us."

There are not many people who dare to force Han Chudong nowadays, and Emma is one of them.

Because I am not very experienced in the world, my thoughts are not that complicated and I don’t have that many concerns when making decisions.

She may not care, but Han Chudong cannot. If she gets too close to Emma, ​​an underage girl, in public, the gossip tabloids will definitely exaggerate the matter and make it a hot topic. The power of "three people make a tiger" cannot be underestimated.

Shaking his head helplessly again, Han Chudong thought of another compromise and said, "How about this, you invite your friends to your house tomorrow, and I will show up at the right time and treat you to fried chicken. How about that? I may have things to deal with during the day, but I should be home in the evening."

She immediately thought that this was fine, and that Emma just wanted to show off in front of her friends. She grasped the point and nodded, "I'll treat you to the fried chicken. My father just gave me some pocket money. Just show up on time and don't let me down."

"make a deal……"

——————————

It's my personality.

Han Chudong is not the kind of social expert who can get along with everyone. After getting to know some people, nothing happens next.

I actually receive quite a few invitations of various types on a daily basis. Some of them I really don’t want to go, and some of them I simply don’t think are necessary to go. I will only choose to attend when I’m in a good mood, or when I’m really bored, or when I can’t refuse.

Considering the indifference of friendship among businessmen and the age gap between him and the vast majority of businessmen, there is nothing wrong with him.

Anyway, at their level, everything starts from interests. Pure friendship is already rare. When something beneficial to both parties happens, the relationship can be quickly strengthened. He is not naive enough to think that he can get some help if he meets enough times and always has similar topics.

Looking at it from another perspective, maintaining a sense of mystery can also help him avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For example, the next morning, a small boss whom he had met at the party sought help from him, saying that the chain car dealership he ran was about to go bankrupt and he wanted to seek some funds to tide over the difficulties. In the end, he didn't even get to see Han Chudong, and only got a reply that he couldn't help.

It is certainly commendable to provide timely assistance.

However, if even the bank was unwilling to provide a loan and he could not find any friends who could help, but instead found Han Chudong, a person he had only met once, it was enough to show that the situation was already very bad. He had no interest in acting as a savior and could only guess that if he really invested in the other party, it would most likely be a waste of money in the end.

It’s not that easy to enter the upper circle.

Most people spend most of their lives to successfully squeeze in, and once they fail, they will quickly disappear from all social occasions, relying solely on their own strength.

I believe that the owner of this chain car dealership had been rejected many times before he found Han Chudong. After being rejected, he actually resorted to squatting and waiting, sitting there from morning until noon.

The receptionist named Bonnie tried to help and pleaded when delivering lunch: "Mr. Nathan Custer is still waiting to meet you. He said he won't leave until he sees you. What should I do?"

With a smile on his face, Han Chudong shook his head: "Don't worry about it. He seems very pitiful and sympathetic, right? However, he didn't go to guard the people in the bank, nor did he go to guard his old friends. He chose to target me, a stranger who has nothing to do with him. It's obvious that he wants to take advantage of my sympathy because I'm young and easy to bully."

Hit the nail on the head.

Secretary Bonnie, who usually sat outside Han Chudong's office, found that this seemed to be the truth after hearing it. She looked enlightened and stopped talking.

If it was a cash-strapped entrepreneur who used this method to deal with Han Chudong, he might even admire the other party's courage and perseverance and take some time to talk to him.

However, Mr. Nathan Custer was different. He encountered a bad investment environment and was about to go bankrupt due to poor management. There were many similar entrepreneurs. Han Chudong really didn't care at all and didn't feel the need to care.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As the news of him building a mansion and buying a Boeing 747 as a private jet spread, he gained huge fame but also attracted trouble. Everyone knew that he was rich, and regardless of whether they knew him or not, they all flocked to him for help. He received hundreds of letters every day, and his corporate phone was almost overwhelmed with calls.

When family members are sick, they come to him; when they need money to start a business, they come to him; when they have no money to go to school, they come to him.

In this light, it is no wonder that rich people all behave like Grandet. It is really difficult to be a good person. Even if you spend all your wealth, you cannot help enough people.

Charitable foundations, charitable organizations, etc. often limit the scope of their assistance to a specific project. There are so many people who need help that even Han Chudong cannot solve it perfectly. It is better to take a one-size-fits-all approach and ignore everyone who comes.

There is a special person in the secretariat to help sort the letters. More than 99% of them end up in the file shredder and will not even appear in front of Han Chudong, so out of sight, out of mind.

When I first started my business, I participated in a lottery and raised some money as start-up capital.

Just in the past two weeks, he has repaid the principal with interest, anonymously purchased $200,000 worth of daily necessities, food, and medicine, and distributed them to lonely elderly people over the age of 60 in Chinatown. He also donated a total of $150,000 to two nearby orphanages.

The reason why charities are not doing it is mainly because they are in charge of the process and often withhold a fee from the operating and management agency, so the money actually delivered to others will be much less.
