As the saying goes, uncles can be tolerated, but aunts cannot.
In order to protect Ning Weimin, Director Taniguchi really blushed and taught him a lesson.
"What are you talking about, you two young people! Why are you so rude! You can say these things!" Director Taniguchi pointed out the other party's mistakes.
"Damn it! What are you talking about! You old guy!" the pudgy man subconsciously retorted.
"You two self-righteous guys! You should be ashamed of interrupting us for no reason!"
"Hey, let me tell you, use your brain! We are helping you, don't you care if you are cheated?"
The tall and lanky guy actually deliberately provoked.
However, Director Taniguchi was unmoved.
"You guys are so annoying! Stop teasing people! I would also like to remind you that you represent the image of your company, please stop it!"
"Haha, there must be something wrong with your head! Are you mistaken, what is your identity? How dare you speak to us like this!" The short and fat man continued to mock.
"You are so bad, don't you blush at all? The only thing you should do now is to shut up and apologize!" Director Taniguchi said in an upright tone.
"It turns out you are really an idiot. You are not in the right mind, old fool! Go see a doctor quickly!" The tall and thin man couldn't help but curse.
"It turned out that in the end, all you could do was use swear words? It's really too bad! You guys are really useless!"
"Damn old man, your money is going to be defrauded! We are scolding you to wake up!"
"This is unreasonable! You should learn to be polite! You are simply embarrassing your parents!" Director Taniguchi used the routine of the elderly.
It's a pity that the other party is not incompetent, and he simply acted like a gangster.
"Haha, what are you talking about? Stop being funny, okay? Why don't you go look in the mirror first? Your nose hairs are all exposed!"...
It should be said that in a society like Japan that emphasizes suppressing oneself and conforming to the group culture.
When most people encounter any unpleasant things in common life situations, they will tolerate it as long as they can and try their best to suppress themselves.
If you have a dispute or even a quarrel with the people around you, it will be considered very impolite and abnormal.
This is the main reason why it is rare to see Japanese people angry, which makes people feel that the quality of Japanese people is generally relatively high.
But to be honest, this is actually just an illusion.
The real situation is that the Japanese still care about everything, and they also bully the weak and fear the strong.
Under at least two conditions, Japanese people will completely indulge themselves and show their negative emotions without scruples.
The first is between superiors and subordinates who have an absolute level difference.
The larger the company, the more rude and arrogant the superiors' attitude towards their subordinates, and the more casual and unbridled they are. It is not an exaggeration to say that they do not treat people as human beings.
It's perfectly normal to point your nose at your subordinates and scold them bloody, and as a subordinate you should even be grateful for it.
As long as your boss doesn't put your head in a hot pot and cook it.
The servility of the Japanese is completely acceptable.
Because this at least shows that you are still a human being in the eyes of your boss. If your boss gets angry with you, you can still save yourself.
Real bullying is cold violence in the workplace.
When you make too many mistakes in the company or are not recognized, offend the leader, and are directly isolated from the people around you, then it is not a human suffering, and it is more deserving than being scolded.
Therefore, even an honest person like Director Taniguchi, when he met Ning Weimin for the first time, thought that he was a low-ranking subordinate in the same company and dared to act arrogantly out of instinct.
The other is that you can express dissatisfaction as you like with strangers' behavior that violates public customs in strange situations, or things that affect you.
Anyway, no one else knows me, so I just vent my stress for the sake of my mental health.
For example, when something unpleasant happens at a station or platform, Japanese people will directly scold you.
Especially every night after drinking, two half-drunk social animals bump into each other on the street. No one will give in, and they will definitely start fighting each other on the street.
At this time, there is no need to worry about any facial issues, and you and I will often scold each other with tongue-tied veneers.
It takes at least twenty minutes until you feel your mouth is dry and you collapse from exhaustion.
But don't look at this kind of quarrel, both parties are very energetic, and they seem to be scolding fiercely.
However, the Japanese people are very aware of the rule of law. As long as they are not taking drugs or drinking enough alcohol, they will not take action.
Whoever strikes first loses.
So this also explains why in the Internet age, the Japanese are the most terrifying in cyber violence than any other in Asia.
The Japanese are good at disguise, one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
They will not restrain themselves out of kindness, but will unleash corresponding evil once there is no legal risk.
Both of these points should be regarded as the bad nature of the Japanese people.
The situation that Ning Weimin encountered today should fall into the second category.
Although they were attending a wedding, when the other party was extremely arrogant and had no scruples, they were treated as strangers who simply disliked them.
And I really have to admit that these two young people are definitely not good at quarrels. They are more experienced in quarreling than Taniguchi star.
Even though Director Taniguchi had the moral high ground, he couldn't stand up to the other party's shamelessness and lack of martial ethics, so he was still at a disadvantage.
Especially the last sentence. It was the ultimate killer. Director Taniguchi was so angry that he almost burst a blood vessel.
Under such circumstances, Ning Weimin could no longer sit back and watch Director Taniguchi be humiliated, nor did he want this disgraceful dispute to continue to escalate, attracting the attention of more guests, or even destroying the atmosphere of the entire wedding banquet, so he naturally had to take action.
.
Actions are actions. There is no doubt that when there is a conflict with others, the person who yells and loses his temper during the quarrel is often not the winner.
Being able to calmly watch the other person lose their temper and respond calmly is a sign of maturity and stability.
Therefore, in view of this, Ning Weimin certainly would not directly scold him like Director Taniguchi, which would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
He didn't want to continue to participate in this scolding war and become the second person in direct conflict with the other party.
On the contrary, because the ultimate goal is not to quarrel, but to end the unpleasant experience with dignity as soon as possible.
So what he should do is not to be affected by the other party's emotions, let alone be led astray by the other party's rhythm.
It's best not to get entangled, end it all quickly, and stay away from the bastard who caused this embarrassment. This is the most ideal result.
So in order to control the development of the situation, he must find a way to appease the emotions of both parties first.
Director Taniguchi is easy to talk to, but how can he appease the other person's emotions?
This is a skill. The first step is to figure out what happened, find the reason for the initial conflict, and then approach the conversation from the perspective of the other party not resisting. Only then will you have the opportunity to express your own opinions without letting both parties get in the way.
The emotional conflict continues to worsen.
To put it bluntly, you have to be able to compliment people.
If you set up a fight with the other party first, his temper will be much smoother, and then you will have the opportunity to resolve the dispute and end the quarrel in a relatively peaceful way.
"Okay, please stop arguing. I kind of understood it just now. You two seem to be investment experts from Taisho Insurance, right? So the opinions you gave are based on a professional perspective? You are both firmly optimistic about NTT.
Only if the conversation we just had is intolerable to your future performance, is that right?"
This statement is indeed effective. After all, everyone loves a high-ranking person and everyone likes to hear good words.
Although judging from their age, the two of them are at most ordinary members of the Taisho Insurance investment team, but they themselves will not deny the title of "master".
As a result, the sharpest edge in his emotions suddenly eased, and he unknowingly became a "yangzi" in the eyes of people in the capital.
The short and fat man nodded immediately, "Yes, that's it. It seems that you are not hopeless and you finally figured it out. As a stock recommended by the Ministry of Finance to the public, NTT stock is a stock recommended by all Japanese people."
How could the well-being of our country drop so sharply! This is the opinion of our professionals. Now do you know how stupid what you just said is?"
The tall and thin one went to make fun of Director Taniguchi, "Hey, take a good look, your companions have understood. You are the only one who doesn't know your own stupidity. No wonder you are so easily convinced, even NTT doesn't like it.
Don't be stupid, we are professional investors and we will never tolerate your stupid arguments. You should give up this idea now, apologize immediately, and thank us..."
These words were tantamount to an even greater humiliation for Director Taniguchi.
However, Ning Weimin did not want to get entangled in this. He continued to change the subject and asked, "Since these two can work at Dazheng Insurance and be responsible for investment business for such a famous large company, they must be top students who graduated from finance-related majors from prestigious universities.
Right? I wonder which famous school you two graduated from?"
It stands to reason that the other party does not need to answer this question, but Ning Weimin's question is exactly what they like to show off, so it is difficult for the two little devils, the fat one and the thin one, to refuse the temptation to answer the question.
On the contrary, he became even more proud and announced his family status without thinking twice.
"Of course it's a famous university. We are from Keio University. But our major is not finance. I majored in science and engineering, and he graduated in sociology."
"Hey, you are not a finance major? Then how can you do investment-related work in an insurance company?" Ning Weimin asked pretending to be surprised.
"Haha, your question is even stupider. Japanese financial companies only like to recruit people with good brains and do not require corresponding majors. It is enough for us to graduate from Keio University. Have you ever gone to university? Why?
Would you ask such an ignorant question?"
When he said these words, the skinny man's nostrils were about to go up to the sky, and his eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
However, this time, he fell into Ning Weimin's language trap. This was what he wanted.
"I'm sorry, I'm a foreigner, and I don't know enough about many situations in Japan. It's true that I only learned today that Japan's financial industry does not select employees based on professionalism. This is different from Wall Street. But that's not the case.
It’s not surprising, after all, Japan’s financial opening up has only been a few years, and the lack of professionalism is understandable. However, I still have to say that different opinions should still be allowed to exist on many things. Being able to listen to different opinions is
It's also a kind of ability, isn't it? In fact, I have a lot of financial issues that I would like to discuss with someone, but I'm sorry that my Japanese level is limited. I can only express some professional words in English. If you are willing, we can use English.
Conversation. If you agree, we will communicate in English. What do you think?”
At the end of these words, Ning Weimin started talking about Oxford.
This time, they really used their strengths to avoid their weaknesses, completely blinding the two little devils and completely catching them off guard.
Ning Weimin's subtext is, don't you look down on people, and aren't you proud of the top students from prestigious universities and employees of big companies?
Don’t you two, little Karamies, regard yourself as professional financial authorities? Then you should be able to speak a few words in English, right?
But you have to know, how can the Japanese people’s English proficiency be put on the table?
Most Japanese people don't speak English, and even if they do, their pronunciation is weird.
Because for the Japanese tongue, which can only produce fifty falsetto sounds, standard English pronunciation is a natural problem.
In fact, it was 2022, before Ning Weimin traveled back in time, and the Japanese's English ability was still classified as low proficiency, ranking at the bottom of Asia, far behind at 78th.
Not to mention compared with China, it even lags behind Nepal, Vietnam and other countries.
Think about it, this is true in the information age with the most abundant learning channels, let alone this non-information age.
So even though these two brats worth 258,000 yuan are from Keio University and they probably don't speak any English, they still can't stand it in front of Ning Weimin's fluent English expression.
God knows how scared they were, afraid that Ning Weimin would laugh at them because of their accent.
As a result, even the ability to speak a few words was lost in Java.
The arrogance and domineering feeling just now were all gone, and now all that was left was the hesitant rolling of eyes and the ugly dumbfounded look.
It's hard to even squeeze out an awkward smile.
To put it bluntly, this is natural bloodline suppression.
Ning Weimin had long discovered that the Japanese were actually particularly fond of foreigners.
Although they look down upon people who cannot speak Japanese well, when they meet people who communicate with them in English, they have a different look.
Ensure that the service quality is immediately improved, and you can do tricks even with a piece of grass on your butt.
Therefore, Ning Weimin often speaks English when he is not with acquaintances in Japan.
In this way, you can receive super-national treatment.
As a result, this move is of great use today. This is the trump card.
Who told these to be the words of their foreign father!
Further down, of course, there is nothing to say.
In order to protect the face of the newlyweds, Ning Weimin would not deliberately make things difficult for these two unfortunates.
But before leaving, he deliberately criticized Sophora and scolded Director Taniguchi in Japanese.
"Taniguchi-san, I can't believe what you said. Didn't you say that the education level in your country is very high? The famous universities are all in line with international standards. Unfortunately, from what I see, the actual situation is still far from what you imagined.
.But I can still understand it. This is probably due to your strong patriotism, and it is the future you hope to see as soon as possible..."
Director Taniguchi is not a bad person either. He can leave calmly at this time.
But he didn't forget to turn his head and say to the two people with contempt - "Qingying? Tsk! I'm really ashamed of you!"
But this time, the two little devils who had been arrogant just now, faced Director Taniguchi's open defiance, and neither of them dared to show their teeth again.
I have to say that the slap on the face feels good for a while, but if you don’t have the two brushes to hit it hard, it will be very uncomfortable.
