Liu Dadao had never been so excited in his life. He knelt on the ground and shivered, "Long live my lord, I don't dare to ask for rewards. It is my duty to be loyal to the emperor..."
"Master just... suffered a slight injury to his hip. This slave will go ashore to do some shopping and make you a pot of chicken soup with trotters. This is my special skill..."
"Come on, come on... You just licked my face when Master Long live gave you a face, didn't you? How does the master maintain his health? That's our business. Why do you worry?"
Xiao Sixi became angry when she heard this. Aren't you, Liu Dadao, just trying to keep your favor in front of your master? It is already a great blessing that the master can remember your name. Now, do you want the master's appetite to remember your craftsmanship?
The tactics used to compete for favor in the Forbidden City are all one set after another. If a newcomer to the workplace in the 21st century were to listen to them, they would definitely have a sudden enlightenment and enlightenment.
For thousands of years in the feudal dynasty, the profession of eunuchs has always existed. These eunuchs who mutilated their bodies and were unable to integrate into society could only live out their lives in the palace shrouded by imperial power.
It is conceivable that the palace is the only stage in their lives. Without this center of power, they are completely unable to adapt to normal life among the people.
Since this is the only workplace, one can imagine the fierce competition here.
Generally speaking, the eunuchs who do well in the Forbidden City have an unchanging path to promotion in mind. This is a secret that is not passed down, but it can also be applied to the workplace in the 21st century.
A new person entering a new company is actually like a new eunuch entering the Forbidden City.
The first thing: learn the rules. The company has company rules, and the palace has its laws. This is just like the high-voltage wires in life. Some have low voltages and will tremble when touched, and some have high voltages. It means death.
Si Xi, Er Mao and others have all seen eunuchs who entered the palace at the same time being beaten to death and maimed, and newcomers to the workplace have also seen many colleagues who could not even survive the probation period.
The second thing: that is to learn the unspoken rules. This is a more important part, because where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be battles. When newcomers come on stage, don’t rush to perform. You first understand the context of the famous actors above your head. Got it clearly.
You have to figure out who you can mess with and who you can't mess with, what things you know very well but can't talk about yet, which butts of women in the company you can touch, and which ones you can't even think about.
This is not a passive escape from the world, but an intelligence investigation before the war, and no effort can be spared.
The third thing: After you have learned the rules and found out your connections, now you have to start working professionally. You can't just flatter others by flattering them, right? Although it is very comfortable to listen to good things from superiors, people have to do things. People who can't do things will not be able to stand up.
In the Forbidden City, you can either learn to comb your hair, or learn to massage, or you can learn some sexual intercourse skills like Xiao Sixi. To put it bluntly, you have to be useful and you have to have unique skills.
Da Sixi is proficient in etiquette and knows all the royal rules. With him by his side, Zai Chun will never wear the wrong clothes or use the wrong words.
Xiao Sixi is proficient in Fangzhongshu, which is basically loved by all men.
Manshun was proficient in food appreciation and literary appreciation, and the emperor's happiness depended entirely on him.
Ermao is even more awesome. Among the four eunuchs, he is the one who is proficient in Western learning and foreign languages. In the future, when it comes to matters involving foreign devils, ask him if he has run away.
Look, everyone has a major, and this major is the foundation of their lives. In the eyes of higher-level nobles, only if you have professional skills will you be valuable and you will be promoted.
The third thing: In the Forbidden City, professional skills alone are not enough! There are many capable people, so opportunities are needed. What opportunities are there? An opportunity for the master to see you and get to know you.
Fuhui and Xiao Letian paved the way for Er Mao's opportunity, and their opportunities were obtained by Sixi, Manshun and others because they were well-behaved and sensible and bribed with money.
Then Liu Dadao's opportunity is even more powerful. This is the power of protecting the Lord! The emperor immediately remembered his name.
How important it is to be able to remember names. Many capable people have been buried because of this. There are so many capable eunuchs in the Forbidden City. How many can the masters remember? In other words, there are only a dozen or so people around me, and many of the others are just backgrounds.
The same is true in large companies. How many names can the chairman and general manager remember? They are just department managers and a limited number of business backbones. The remaining employees are actually the decoration under the company's background wall.
If you want to get ahead, is that okay if you don’t let the higher-ups know your name?
The fourth thing: When the noble person knows your name, what you have to do is to let the noble person develop the habit of calling your name.
That’s right, it’s just a habit!
What Liu Dadao wants to do now is the fourth strategy. Liu Dadao knows the rules and unspoken rules in the palace, has excellent professional skills, and even has a chance to rescue him.
This fourth point is the key among the key. You must know how the noble forgets things. If you temporarily let the noble remember you, will he remember you for the rest of his life?
At this time, you should use some other actions that suit the noble person's liking to continue to stimulate the noble person and make your name become a habit in the noble person's mind.
Liu Dadao used the method of presenting delicious food. He knew very well that His Majesty had eaten the dishes he cooked before, but those dishes were all served in the name of the Imperial Kitchen, and the Emperor did not know his own name at all.
Now that you have this great opportunity, wouldn’t you be a fool if you don’t cherish it? If Long Live Master drinks the secret hoof flower soup in his own name, he will have the opportunity to cook for the emperor alone.
After going back and forth, Long Live Master gradually remembered my name, Liu Dadao. Can I still hold the position of manager of the imperial kitchen in the future?
This is a whole set of secrets of fighting for favor in the Forbidden City. Of course, this is just a big context. Depending on this context, there are many evil tricks and unseen secrets hidden in word of mouth. But as long as one understands such a context, Once you have found the backbone, it will only be a matter of time before you practice.
If you are in the right direction, even if you walk as slowly as a snail, you will one day succeed in your cultivation.
But Liu Dadao never expected that he knew these tricks, and so did his two eunuchs, Big Sixi and Big Sixi. Moreover, eunuchs are naturally jealous. When they saw someone trying to share their master's favor, they were like a cat that had stepped on its tail. , all the hair on his body exploded.
"Liu Dadao! My master has already recorded your merits, and you will naturally be rewarded later... Now look at my tired master, do you still have time to wait for your soup? My master needs to rest..."
"Go down and do your job..."
The two eunuchs, Big Sixi and Big Sixi, glared at Liu Dadao fiercely, and the threat contained therein was very straightforward.
Liu Dadao's face suddenly turned red. He knew that his status was definitely inferior to that of the four personal eunuchs, but he was still very reluctant to leave like this. There are only a few opportunities like this in a person's life.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard the hatch creak and a figure walked in.
Note: The workplace rules of the Forbidden City are actually similar to the workplace experience of modern people entering large companies. Young people have no connections at all and enter a completely unfamiliar company environment. When you are at a loss.
Read this chapter and study these four steps clearly. I can’t say that it will definitely succeed, but it will definitely open up a lot of space.
As for those who have made breakthroughs in these four steps, you can decide how you will develop in the future. Because you have made breakthroughs in these four stages, a middle-level person should be able to get it. m.
