Chapter 570: Detailed Teaching Spring Comes to Observe People
I don’t know how long I slept before spring came knocking on the door.
I woke up and saw it was only 7:30. I thought, this is bad news, has something happened to Dana again? I quickly got up and opened the door.
Chunlai said, "Mr. Chalun has been sitting here for half an hour."
I understood as soon as I heard it, it was Zhalun who didn't let Chunlai wake me up.
When I went out, I saw Chalun and Sasha sitting in the living room talking. I put my hands together and said:
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. You could have woken me up."
Chalun clasped his hands together and smiled slightly, saying, "You should rest. You are very tired."
After sitting down, Sasha explained her purpose: Mr. Chalun was afraid that I would misunderstand, so he came to explain that he and his wife had no objection to me going to a friend's house.
Although I don’t know Mr. Luo Cheng, I know that he runs a rubber company and he is someone I can trust.
I was confused by what I heard.
Sasha explained: "Because I heard that you went to bed without having dinner."
I laughed out loud: "Tell him that I have no idea at all, because I have the habit of taking a nap, and I must make up for it if I miss it.
If there was anything I did wrong, it was that I should have asked Mr. Chalun for leave first."
After Sasha translated, Charun Lian said that was a misunderstanding. If Mr. Wan felt lonely, he could go to a friend's house. He just wanted me to avoid places like Pattaya Walking Street.
After the explanation was clear, both parties felt relieved.
He then asked about Dana's recovery. I explained everything to him. He was very satisfied and said:
"With Mr. Wan here, I feel much happier at work."
He asked me if I wanted anything else to eat. I shook my head. After a few more words, he said goodbye.
After they left, I said to Chun, "Mr. Chalun is here. You can't keep him waiting. A guest shouldn't neglect the host."
"He forbad me to wake you."
I don't mind Chun Lai, he is a very sincere person.
I went into the bathroom and took a good shower. When I came out, Chun said:
"Then go get some good sleep. Nothing will happen."
I said, "Once I wake up, I can't fall asleep again. Let me chat with you."
Chunlai made me a cup of tea and said, "Okay. Is it about medicine?"
What he meant was that if he was talking about medicine, he would find a notebook to record it.
I shook my head and said, "Random, just chatting. When Mr. Zhalun came in and sat down, did he support his forehead with his hand?"
Chunlai stared at me with wide eyes, nodded repeatedly, and asked, "It's just across the room, and you know everything?"
"If a person is in pain and feels that he has done something wrong to others, he will involuntarily support his temples with his hands when he sits down."
"oh--"
"In fact, as soon as I saw him, I knew why he came."
"Do you know what others mean without speaking?"
"Yes. Tonight, I will teach you Zeng Guofan's art of observing people. Zeng Guofan summarized his insights into observing people in his diary entry of September 27, 1858."
Chunlai almost fainted: "You remember it in such detail?"
"It's the association memory method. First remember September, then see how the following dates have anything to do with nine. Thirty-nine is twenty-seven, and I remember it instantly."
"Do you still associate things with things when you look at them?"
"Without association, what can you read? You can only understand something by drawing inferences from one instance to another."
Chunlai was filled with admiration and said, "I'd better find a notebook and write down some of your important ideas."
He took the notebook and opened it. I immediately felt like a mentor. My interest grew. He said:
"Zeng Guofan mentioned the first aspect: speaking logically. If a person speaks clearly and logically, he or she can accomplish great things."
Chunlai took note, then looked up and said, "It means that one has a very clear mind and can get to the essence of things."
I nodded and said, "Yes, look at those so-called village elders in the countryside. Why do people always ask them to mediate various conflicts? It's because they are clear and logical and can grasp the essence of the problem.
In some ways, Zeng Guofan was not like his father, who was mediocre, but he was like his grandfather.
His grandfather helped people in the village to resolve various disputes. He was very clear about everything and was admired by everyone.
So he worshipped not his father, but his grandfather, Lord Xinggang."
Chunlai admires my knowledge very much.
I continued, "Besides listening to what people say, don't trust their faces. The face can be disguised. Pay attention to the movements of their hands. The hands cannot be disguised."
"Oh—I see."
"Fingers represent the head. Frequent hand movements indicate an active brain. A person's hands can reveal many of their inner thoughts.
The face is full of lies, but the hands hold the truth, for example…”
"Teacher, please slow down. I want to write down what you just said."
I waited for him to finish writing and continued, "For example, if someone spreads their thumb and index finger in a figure eight shape and rests them on their chin while listening to someone speak, it means they are arrogant. They are listening to others from a superior position."
Chunlai remembers things very quickly, probably even using shorthand symbols.
"If someone walks with their hands behind their back, it means they feel secure and in control. This is the image of leaders we often see on television and in news photos."
Chunlai said, "No wonder even our village chief walks around the village in this posture."
I couldn't help but smile and continued: If a person crosses his hands together, like a "person" character, and places them on the table in front of his chest, it means that he is guilty.
Unfamiliarity with the situation and lack of confidence in speaking are usually involuntary actions made by subordinates when reporting to their superiors.
Chunlai said, "Yes, if a high-ranking official comes to our village, our village chief will report on his work like this. You seem to have seen it."
I laughed and said, "How big of a grudge do you have against your village chief? You always use him as an example."
Chun said, "It's not like I've ever seen a bigger leader."
Then, I made a chin-supporting gesture and said, "When we are particularly engaged, we can't help but support our cheeks with our hands."
I changed to a "double support" position. If someone really likes you and admires you, she will support her chin with both hands when you speak. This is called double support. If she loves you to this extent, then she is obsessed with you.
“I know that, but I haven’t encountered it.”
“If someone keeps playing with a small object in their hand while listening to you, it means that they don’t want to hear you continue.
So, when you listen to someone speaking, I mean elders, leaders, teachers, etc., don't play with things. Otherwise, it will trigger the other person's emotions and make negative judgments. So, when we talk to people, we should look at their hands.
Chunlai asked: "How do you tell if someone is telling a lie?"
I said, "Zeng Guofan also said, if it's slanted or straight, look at the nose and eyes; if it's real or fake, look at the lips. If the eyes are wandering, you can definitely tell."
As for the lips, when you tell a lie, your mouth will tilt to one side. It doesn't matter if it tilts to the left or the right, it will tilt to the side involuntarily.
For example, some people in the service industry, especially women, don't smile from the heart; it's a fake professional smile. Notice how their mouth tilts to one side when they smile.
I'll tell you this much for now. Next time you meet a man whose lips tilt to one side when he smiles, he's probably from Myanmar, scammed people."
Chunlai laughed loudly.
I stood up and stretched.
Chunlai said, "You go and rest. I'll sort out my notes."
Before going to bed, I habitually flipped through my phone and received a WeChat message from Chu Qian:
"Whether you accept me as your apprentice or not, I will call you Master next time. Humph, I'm relying on you."
I chuckled twice. No reply. Some WeChat messages can't be responded to immediately; it's better to let them cool down.
