It is said that a great inventor once waved a cigarette in the dark, and the scene before his eyes flashed, thus inventing the movie. The human retina has a 0.1-second visual residue. If discontinuous images appear at short intervals, ordinary peoples eyes see continuous dynamic scenes, which is the principle of movies. The playback speed of ordinary film is twenty-four frames per second, that is, within one second, twenty-four frames will appear continuously on the screen, but what people see is a dynamic and continuous scene. However, Bai Shaofeng has never had such a feeling when watching movies, and he hasnt even seen a "real" movie, because all he sees in the cinema are twenty-four frames appearing continuously every second, just like a fast slide show.
Apart from his visual abilities, Bai Shaofeng also has a special ability that allows him to sense peoples hearts!
What is called empathy? Its not about knowing what another person is thinking in their heart, such as who they are scolding or what memories they are recalling, or what kind of emotions they have expressed. These are all things that Bai Shaofeng doesnt know. What he can sense is - emotion! As long as he focuses his attention on observing a person, he can empathize with the real emotional fluctuations of this person, a kind of wonderful "emotional resonance" state.
For example, in the morning, Yan Xiangli walked into the office of the Financing Risk Department and handed a document to Deputy Director Wang, saying that he would see the report in three days. Director Wang smiled and agreed. The director said, "Thank you for your hard work, time is tight and the project is very important, I dont trust anyone else to do it." Director Wang shook his head immediately: "Not hard, three days are enough, thank you for the leaders trust."
What a harmonious relationship between colleagues! However, when they spoke, Bai Shaofeng carefully observed Old Wang and directly sensed a strong sense of resentment and impatience. This feeling was like when he was young and wanted to go play by the river, but his grandfather forced him to return home to grind soybeans for the widow Zhang next door.
Human emotional activities are very complex and cannot be summarized by simply categorizing them into seven emotions and six desires. For example, happiness, anger, sadness, and joy may be easy to distinguish, but more subtle and complex emotional activities can be difficult to grasp. When a girl rejects a gift from a boy, it could be because she doesnt like the boy, thinks the gift is too light or too heavy, or maybe shes playing hard to get. On the surface, its sometimes hard to tell, so you can only guess. Even if you know her emotional state at that time, its not necessarily clear what shes thinking, and you need your own life experience to understand. If its a kid who doesnt understand things yet and hasnt had any romantic experiences, having this special ability doesnt necessarily mean they can grasp it clearly either.
So Bai Shaofengs special ability to probe into peoples hearts is maturing with age and experience, and it is still maturing. Whats more interesting is that he didnt realize from a young age that this was a special ability, thinking that everyone had it, until he grew up and vaguely discovered that he might be different from others, but hadnt fully awakened to himself. He naively thought that everyone had this ability, just like eyesight and hearing, the only difference being strong or weak. For example, some people can see birds flying high in the sky, while others cant even see the face of a person sitting across from them without their glasses. Bai Shaofeng thought he was particularly sensitive to this aspect, just like his eyesight was particularly good.
The reason is simple. Bai Shaofeng grew up in a remote village since he was a child and has always been an ordinary kid who didnt draw much attention to himself. From the moment he was born, there wasnt anything that made him stand out from others, so naturally, he thought of himself as just an average person. An ordinary person wouldnt deliberately think about why they can walk or eat; its all taken for granted.
Bai Shaoliu had never seen his father, who died before he was born. He was a posthumous child, and his mother also passed away when he was three years old due to illness. He was raised by his grandparents. His grandfather named him Bai Xiaoliu. Later, when he went to elementary school, the class teacher thought the name Bai Xiaoliu didnt sound good, so she added a stroke to it, and his full name became Bai Shaoliu. As for his nickname, it had never changed from childhood to adulthood, and he was always called Xiao Bai. His classmates at school and colleagues at work all called him Xiao Bai.
Xiaobai has the ability to sense peoples hearts, but doesnt think hes special. It sounds a bit absurd, but its not impossible. There are many people in this world who are good at deceiving others and guessing their intentions to seek their own benefits. Although they dont have supernatural powers, they also have this kind of mind trick. Xiaobai has seen too many people like this since he was young, so he doesnt think hes special either. Maybe its because he saw too much pretentiousness and hypocrisy, but from a young age, Baixiao had a point of view - people are all hypocritical! The only difference is between clever hypocrisy and foolish hypocrisy.
Of course this view was not summed up by himself, but was told by a donkey. A donkey? Yes, its a donkey!
Can donkeys talk? Donkeys, of course, cant speak human language because their lips arent suited for it. But Xiaobai really knew a talking donkey, which was the grey donkey that pulled the millstone at his home when he was young, named Baimao. Baimaos whole body was covered in dark grey fur, but on its left shoulder, there was a crescent-shaped white mark, and on the tip of its left ear, there was a tuft of white hair. Baimao couldnt speak human language, but it could communicate with Xiaobai through simple telepathy, Xiaobai knew what it was thinking, and could even sense certain words it said. This kind of sensing was very special, different from other donkeys, and even different from other people.
This donkey "tells" Xiaobai: The people in the world are all hypocritical, and the difference is only between clever hypocrisy and foolish hypocrisy. The people in the world are all high-handed and low-handed, and those who have the ability to fulfill their wishes are successful. It also tells Xiaobai that if the means can exceed the limits of the eyes, and behavior can take advantage of peoples desires, then whatever you want, you can go get it.
Xiaobai seemed to understand, but there was one sentence he thought he understood, which was that his hands had to keep up with his eyes. Xiaobais eyes were extremely fast, and he could even see clearly flying bullets, but his body was still ordinary, it was impossible for him to stretch out his hand to catch the incoming bullet. So he asked the donkey how he could make his body react as quickly as what he saw in front of him? The donkey said that when he grew up, he would teach him that there was a very special way to train oneself in this world.
Unfortunately, the donkey named White Hair, which was unusually intelligent, did not live to see Xiao Bai grow up and was slaughtered when Xiao Bai was seven years old. The talking donkey was still a donkey after all, and its fate was related to a local specialty - five-spice donkey meat with skin and bones...
"Xiao Bai, what are you staring at out the window? Its time to work." Deputy Director Wangs voice pulled Xiao Bai back from his memories of a donkey. Xiao Bai turned around and asked, "What is it, leader?"
Old Wang: "There is a report here, you have two days to do it, this is the task assigned by the department head, you must be careful." The report that Old Wang asked Xiaobai to do was the one that Yan Xiangli handed over to Old Wang in the morning. Yan Xiangli gave Old Wang three days, and Old Wang gave Xiaobai two days.
Although somewhat dissatisfied, Xiao Bai reluctantly walked over to receive the materials. Old Wang noticed that he seemed emotional and said with a smile: "Xiao Bai, you have been performing well in our department. This report is for the loan project of Nandu Technology, which the department leader attaches great importance to. As long as you can complete it well, there will be no problem with converting to regular employment after the probationary period."
Xiao Bai was taken aback: "Such an important report? I can..."
Old Wang interrupted him: "For us, big or small projects are the same, its all a set of procedures, the difference is just numbers. You have to be confident that you can do well. And this report I wont sign my name, the auditor will sign your name, which is good for your future performance evaluation."
Xiaobai felt surprised, originally he thought Lao Wang was just assigning him a small task, but unexpectedly Lao Wang really handed the project over to him and even let him sign his name on the report. Can Lao Wang be happy with this? Were his words true? Xiaobai carefully observed Lao Wang for a moment, his expression was sincere, and he felt that his thoughts were also serious, with some anxiety in his seriousness, as if afraid Xiaobai would not agree. Xiaobai had some doubts, but the situation did not allow him to think too much, so he took the materials, nodded, and went back to work.
Nandu Technology is a listed company that has just undergone an acquisition and restructuring, with the acquirer being the Senriyama Group from another city in Japan. This time, the project loan application to the Urasoe Branch of the Shoko Chukin Bank was for 2.8 billion yen. The Urasoe Branch is a first-class branch, and the self-approval authority for project loans is 3 billion yen. This time, Nandu Technologys loan is close to the upper limit but does not exceed it, so in theory, approval by the branchs credit committee would be sufficient, with only a report to the head office required.
In the country of Zhi Xu, the money house lends money, and there are usually two situations. One is the bottom-up approach, where the marketing department conducts market research, forms a research report and a loan application from the company, and then the risk assessment department reviews it, finally approved by the loan review meeting. Generally speaking, it is three steps, and Xiaobais work department is the second step in the middle. Of course, a good project is not when a company asks for money from the money house, but when the money house finds a company. There is also a top-down approach, where people with connections can directly get things done through their relationships, and then assign tasks to lower-level employees, who complete them according to procedure.
Top-down project, on the surface, is no different from a normal bottom-up project. It still involves marketing research, report writing and review, and approval of the three steps, but in reality, it has become a kind of fabricating materials work. The tone is basically set, and the staff need to compile the research data into a report that can pass the audit. If the materials provided by the enterprise are not qualified, they need to remind the relevant personnel of the enterprise to modify according to the requirements until the final approval.
Xiaobai got this material which is the research result of other departments and data provided by enterprises. If the content inside is fake but made very cleverly and cleanly, Xiaobai cant find out. In fact, with his current experience and experience, there are not many places where he can find problems. However, after Xiaobai carefully studied this material, he was shocked - it turns out that money in the world can be played like this! Because Qianri Hong Group acquired Nandu Technology without spending a single penny of cash!
