Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 34 - 32. He suddenly laughed with relief

Chapter 34: 32. He suddenly laughed with relief

"Look! It’s the first time I’ve seen Jia Jia smiling so happily at her phone~"

Xu Ya, fresh out of the shower with her hair dried, walked right into Ni Jiayun, who was giggling foolishly at her phone.

"No way, that’s not true!"

Ni Jiayun laughed even more, hastily covering half of her face, "It’s just that I found Liu Yisheng’s chat quite interesting."

"He actually guessed my zodiac sign!"

"Seriously?"

The three sisters quickly gathered around Ni Jiayun to check out the last WeChat message sent by Liu Yisheng.

"I noticed you have many little details at night, especially thoughtful."

"Could it be Virgo?"

...

...

"See? This is called ’chunking up’."

Lu Jincheng pointed at the screen with one hand, explaining with a practical example.

To extend a conversation topic, one cannot leave out the three thinking frame directions in NLP theory: chunking up, chunking down, and lateral thinking.

NLP, also known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

In order to establish a consistent atmosphere with the other person, use more general words to imply a shared meaning, thereby creating an acceptance of the other person and allowing them to guide the conversation.

Because "meaning" lies in a person’s subconscious, it is very subjective and cannot be fully expressed.

So when you achieve a consistent feeling at the language level, the other person is led to a new way of thinking, and this technique is called ’chunk up’.

In sum, it is about introducing larger, more wide-ranging things or meanings to evoke resonance from the other person.

"Yes, how did you know?"

A quick response came from Ni Jiayun, who sent across an adorable emoji package, clearly intrigued.

"How did you know she’s a Virgo?"

Liu Yisheng’s eyes widened, incredulous.

He probably understood old Lao Lu’s chatting techniques, but how did he guess her zodiac sign?

"Could you use your brain before hitting on girls? At the end of August, this nine-grid post said ’adult ceremony’. What do you think that means?"

Lu Jincheng shook his phone, pointing out the answer.

"Brilliant, such subtle copywriting reveals so much detail, Lao Lu, you’re really something else."

Zhang Gaoqiang, who was listening intently, almost took notes and gave him a big thumbs up.

"You need to learn to pose questions that carry the answer, so the conversation doesn’t die off."

...

...

"Just a random guess, the traits of Virgo seem to fit you pretty well."

"Attentive, generous, you look gentle and sweet on the outside, but when you sing, it feels like there’s also a passionate side in your bones~"

"Okay, that’s enough; I’m going to bed and not showing you anymore!"

Ni Jiayun snatched the phone back, her cheeks flushed with heat.

"Oh my gosh, this boy really gets you~"

Not just the sisters who were munching on popcorn, but now even Ni Jiayun realized that Liu Yisheng seemed to have something special indeed.

Although the back-and-forth wasn’t much, each sentence hit the mark, coinciding astonishingly with her self-perception!

"You guessed exactly right."

"Didn’t expect you to be such a smooth talker online, way better than you were at night."

"Cat head making a heart."

Ni Jiayun hurriedly climbed up the ladder, quickly burrowed into the covers, cradling her phone and replying to messages.

The clownish chat she could show her sisters and the private one-on-one conversation held completely different places in her heart.

...

...

"Methods like this, where you observe and analyze someone’s behavior and then define them, are called cold reading."

Lu Jincheng, with the demeanor of a true teacher, folded his arms and pointed out, instructing the three brothers before him.

"Wait a second, Brother Lu, I need to make some notes."

Liu Yisheng rummaged through his things, found a pen and notebook, and began jotting down notes attentively.

"So, the ’down cut’ is when you narrow down on a particular detail in what the other person said and enlarge that aspect."

"Parallel means finding other possibilities that are on the same level of nature as something the other person has already mentioned."

Lu Jincheng didn’t hold back, he shared everything he knew, giving his roommates a thorough understanding.

It’s just chatting skills, whether there’s a real takeaway is another matter altogether.

Watching as Liu Yisheng and Ni Jiayun went from discussing trivial gestures to astrological personalities, within a short ten minutes, they easily broke the ice and began exchanging emoji packets.

Ni Jiayun even went out of her way to emphasize, "You’re more interesting to chat with online than in person!"

"Brother Lu, you’ve really got this."

Ni Jiayun, unusually proactive in her chatting, even amazed Qiang Zhihao, who hadn’t taken the matter seriously at first.

It seemed Lu Jincheng wasn’t just skilled in conversation; he even had a systematic theory to back it up!

How did you manage that when all of us just graduated from high school?

Such a profound summary...

How many girls had Lu Jincheng tumbled with to come up with this?

Qiang Zhihao then thought of Zhou Sinin’s gaze towards Lu Jincheng.

He remembered the accidental encounter in front of Red Mill, the long kiss he witnessed on the street.

And the never-seen-before, alluring sight of Zhong Ruixi’s half-closed eyes as she wrapped her arms around a man’s neck.

He suddenly laughed, letting go of his concerns.

...

...

After military training ended, the day soon arrived for new students to officially start classes.

At noon, after class, Lu Jincheng went to the Management College complex building and knocked on the door of Teacher Guo Minjie’s office.

"Teacher Guo, I’ve come to report to the School Youth League Committee."

An academic advisor in a college often doubles as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the college, while the secretary and the head of the student affairs office are positions held by Cai Shangdong.

"Alright, I’ll take you to the office upstairs."

Guo Minjie nodded, stood up, and walked out of the room.

Today, the academic advisor wore a pair of half-frame glasses, which made her watery eyes seem deeper. Her smooth hair, coerced by a hairpin into an elegant bun atop her head, revealed her delicate neck, making her look even more elegant and alluring.

A white blouse and tailored trousers might be the most ordinary work outfit, but on Guo Minjie, it looked both professional and chic, highlighting her graceful and well-proportioned figure.

A man and a woman, one after the other, Lu Jincheng watched her ascend the stairs, her buttocks subtly shifting under the tailored uniform trousers with every step she took in her high heels.

"The next time you come here, take a seat at this spot."

Guo Minjie opened the door to the Youth League Committee office and reserved a spot for Lu Jincheng.

"By the way, Teacher Guo, I would like to take advantage of the large recruiting event to get some people interested, but my workshop isn’t really a club. Is that alright?"

After the new students’ military training ends, it’s customary for the various clubs at Nanhu University to set up booths at the intersection of the cafeterias to recruit new members, welcoming talents from everywhere.

"Golden Stone, right?"

Guo Minjie pushed up her glasses, recalling the business plan that Lu Jincheng had given her last time, which she had signed off on as the advising teacher.

She pondered for a few seconds and then nodded.

"Setting up a booth is fine, I’ll let the School Youth League Committee know. It’s not a problem."

"It won’t bother you, will it?"

Lu Jincheng asked.

"It’s alright, anyway, it’s not a certainty that you’ll be able to recruit anyone."
