Chapter 56: The value of starting from scratch is so terrifying.

Lisa originally wanted to introduce Cheng Daqi to Telemachus, hoping that Telemachus could help this damn auto mechanic find a job. Her intentions were good.

But the way Cheng Daqi met the two was just outrageous.

Telemachus changed his attitude too quickly.

The blonde's brain was overloaded.

Under normal circumstances, as the person introducing two friends to each other, she should have helped them find a topic of conversation.

But with her brain overloaded, Lisa just wanted to be alone.

Cheng Daqi and the black-haired woman exchanged awkward glances. Both of them were seasoned veterans, not as embarrassed as Lisa, but for a moment, they didn't know how to start the conversation.

So, there was a deafening silence in the room.

Accompanying the silence was the ubiquitous awkwardness.

Cheng Daqi didn't think awkwardness was a problem at all. He was thinking about what to say to make a good first impression on the wealthy woman.

On the other hand, Telemachus wanted to speak, but didn't know how to communicate with the drifter.

She had never had any interaction with someone of such low status before.

Should she talk about what she had for dinner today?

Or should she talk about the weather in St. Lowell?

"Today in St. Lowell..."

"I heard Lisa say it earlier."

They both spoke at the same time, and then almost simultaneously stopped.

Perfect!

In his mind, Cheng Daqi gave himself a thumbs up for his reaction speed.

How do you arouse the interest of someone you just met, but who is interested in you?

This kind of interest has nothing to do with your appearance, status, or wealth; it's just pure interest.

The simplest, most reliable, and least offensive method is this.

Seize the opportunity when the other person speaks, and speak at the same time.

Then stop in time, try to stop in sync with the other person.

Create a tacit understanding with coincidence, use the tacit understanding to arouse emotional fluctuations, just a little bit of arousal is enough.

The follow-up is amplification and guidance.

Master this skill, combine it with your own abilities, and you'll be invincible in the field of social interaction.

It's not that you can effortlessly win over everyone, but many times, you can greatly accelerate the rate at which your newly acquainted friends develop positive feelings towards you.

"Haha, you go first, I'll give the most beautiful girl in America some face."

Cheng Daqi joked slightly, indicating Telemachus to speak first.

Praising as soon as you open your mouth is the dumbest choice, but it's also the lowest-risk option to start with.

Simple, inefficient, but effective. And most importantly, it won't cause the other person to be offended.

Hearing such a capable man praise herself like this, the black-haired wealthy woman was quite pleased.

She adjusted her hat slightly, as if implying something, and spoke.

"You just said Lisa mentioned me to you, how did she describe me to you?"

Lisa, whose brain was overloaded, was awakened by her friend's words, looking puzzled at the damn auto mechanic.

When did I mention Telemachus to you?

Didn't we just meet four days ago and only chat twice on social media?

The blonde was quite sure that she didn't casually talk about her friend's personality to others.

Telemachus and Cheng Daqi didn't know each other before, so she wouldn't say anything about Telemachus to him.

The cunning auto mechanic wasn't flustered at all. When Telemachus spoke, he knew that he had been boomeranged.

He had used this trick too many times before; it had become a habit.

Today was purely because Cheng Daqi didn't have enough reaction time to consciously choose a topic to discuss with Telemachus at the beginning.

This habit gave him a surprise attack from his subconscious.

But Cheng Daqi wasn't flustered, not at all.

When Telemachus just spoke, he picked up a bottle of water and started washing his hands.

Tactical hand washing, interrupting the rhythm of the conversation on the opposite side with actions.

Buy time to think about how to deal with the wealthy woman's questions.

After all, Lisa really hadn't told him anything about Telemachus.

Because this kind of trick is rarely used in social interaction, as long as the action is not too excessive, it won't make the other person feel strange.

From high school dropout to company's A round, Cheng Daqi had no background.

His family background was not good, and his sect background was not good either.

The only thing he could rely on was sincerity, and some small tricks that made sincerity look sincere.

"Thelemicus, can I call you by your name?"

While tactically washing his hands, Cheng Daqi responded perfunctorily, asking the wealthy woman to agree to a small request from him first.

Language is the carrier of emotions, and the language of the speaker can in turn affect the emotions of the speaker.

Similar to confirmation words, they can guide Telemachus to slightly recognize Cheng Daqi's sincerity.

It's all about the routine.

It can be said that after Cheng Daqi recovered from the initial awkwardness of meeting, every word he said and every action he took was full of routine.

The value of starting from scratch is so terrifying.
