"Every family has an album like this. This is ours. Come, take a look. If you can, try to write it down and don't tell anyone else."
That afternoon, after lunch, Shui Sulan called Ni Bingyan to her home and handed her a thick booklet behind the back of the servant.
"What's this?"
Ni Bingyan reached out to take it, curious in his heart, but did not open it directly.
Shui Sulan mysteriously took her to the underground treasure room and took this book out from an old mahogany chest. She also told her to take note of it after reading it and not to tell others. Once she saw it, it was not ordinary. stuff.
Before you're not sure exactly what it is, it's better to know less.
Don’t movies always feature scenes like this?
You know too much……
Seeing the silly look on her face, she was obviously curious, but didn't dare to open it.
Shui Sulan was speechless, and took her directly to the outside room, found a sofa to sit on, and then stretched out her hand to pull open the floor lamp next to her, letting her look openly under the light.
"Look, it's just a list. It contains basic information about relatives and friends at home. For you, there is nothing to avoid."
Knowing this, Ni Bingyan felt relieved and opened the first page of the booklet.
There are not many names on the first page, but every one of them is a well-known big shot.
Ni Bingyan explained while watching:
"I like the entire electronic version and carry it with me everywhere, so I didn't expect that your version would be a paper version."
"No, it's not "your family", it's "our family". "
Shui Sulan looked at her seriously, hoping that she would be able to realize herself as a family from now on.
Ni Bingyan was stunned for a moment.
This feeling is really special and hard to describe.
Seeing her being dumbfounded, Shui Sulan laughed, opened the booklet, pointed to some of the contents on it, and asked her:
"It contains the in-law relationships of various families, as well as the preferences and taboos of certain important people. It even records the handles of certain people. Do you think it can be made into an electronic version?"
Even the slightly confidential information in the company is recorded on paper and will not exist in the computer, let alone this kind of thing?
Ni Bingyan was a little embarrassed: "Mainly, I don't have anything important here, and the confidentiality level is not that high..."
Having said that, my mind was screaming "I've learned, I've learned."
"It's true that a gentleman is magnanimous and a villain always feels sorry for himself, but you can never use your own kindness to measure the dangers of the world."
Ni Bingyan nodded obediently, indicating that he understood.
She couldn't relate more to this.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s talk about the most recent time, when someone secretly photographed and threatened her, it was an unforgettable experience for her.
In the past, I just didn't have enough knowledge to understand these principles, but I didn't expect that I could still be like this.
Now that someone is willing to teach her, she is very touched and reminds herself that she must make up for her shortcomings in time.
Seeing her being taught, Shui Sulan complained softly:
"In the past, these were things that the matron of the house kept in mind. The more capable the wife was, the more talented she was in this area. Nowadays, communication and transportation are developed. Every household has relatives, friends, old friends, and partners. I don't know how many more there are. How much, if you want to remember it in your head, unless you have photographic memory."
So how necessary it is to get a brochure!
Ni Bingyan nodded and turned to the second page.
I saw a photo posted in the upper left corner, and next to it was the person's basic information, such as date of birth, place of origin, who is in the family, personal preferences, family preferences...
The following dozens of pages are in this format, and each page is the elder recorded on the first page.
Ni Bingyan looked carefully and saw many things that surprised her.
So-and-so loves goose the most because the pit on her face was bitten by a goose when she was a child, so when inviting her to dinner, be sure to prepare goose-related dishes, so as to gain her favor.
So-and-so never drank alcohol, and always said that he was allergic to alcohol. In fact, it was because he was drunk once, and then made a mistake, which resulted in having an illegitimate child. Because of this, his wife had a problem with him, and his children were dissatisfied with him. From then on, teetotal.
A certain daughter was once PUAed by a Phoenix man. After getting married, she suffered a lot before she escaped from the misery. When arranging seats, be careful not to place her with several self-made elders, especially those who relied on their wives to get to the top, and then kicked their wives after they became famous. Lost so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so...
These things are never secrets in a certain circle, but they are not spread too widely.
Not only is it not exciting enough, but also because their family is so powerful that people who know it give them face and don’t dare to gossip about them.
This is the benefit of having power!
The sapling called ambition in Ni Bingyan's heart has grown again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is a part of our family network," Shui Sulan said with a hint of ridicule. "These people are on the same level as our family, or even surpass us in some aspects. Unless necessary, when we get along with them, We must always remember not to provoke them if we can, but if they insist on provoking us, there is no need to be polite."
Ni Bingyan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Come to think of it, if there is one ring, there are two rings, three rings, or even five rings.
Turning to the last page of this section, there is a folded piece of paper. When unfolded, it is about the size of a map. On it is the marriage relationship between each family.
Ni Bingyan only glanced at it and felt dizzy.
It's okay if the family has a large number of people. The size of each family is unique. No matter how complicated it is, there is a limit.
Many families have many illegitimate children who are hidden away. They use these illegitimate children to get married. The relationship is called a secret!
Ordinary people don't know this information, so it's inevitable to take advantage of it at some point.
"Write these down?"
Shui Sulan did not answer, but said meaningfully: "Sometimes, there may be just a little difference between the best and the top."
Seeing Ni Bingyan's eyes straighten, Shui Sulan smiled: "Think about it, if you go out and gossip with one person about another person, but you don't know that their husbands are cousins and the two are serious relatives. We still have a good relationship, would you say you are embarrassed?"
Ni Bingyan's face turned a little red: "I'm not the kind of person who likes to chew other people's tongues..."
Shui Sulan covered her face, took a breath, and then said:
"Let's take another example. Suppose someone gossips about another person to you, and you can't tell the difference between them and just echo them casually. It turns out that they are relatives and they quickly reconciled, but you are not a human being inside and out."
It's not that Ni Bingyan didn't understand the truth, he quickly stopped her: "You better stop giving examples, I understand!"
"You understand, but you don't fully understand."
Shui Sulan whispered her experience again: "This kind of relationship can be used in many cases. For example, if you have a project at hand and need to find someone for approval, but you don't know him, and you can't give it to him and his family. Giving gifts, at a time like this..."
Seeing her give him a "you know" look, Ni Bingyan's eyes went straight.
Ordinary social animals can ignore the world's sophistication and as long as they master a good technology, they will never die of hunger, but businessmen are different...
"Hurry up and stop it! No matter how much you use favors to build relationships, you can't do anything illegal or disciplinary! This is the bottom line! I'll talk to you later about how to handle it."
