How to Respond to a Leader with High Emotional Intelligence

Xu Yi stopped walking.

"We'll talk about this later. Come into the venue with me first. Help me out."

Director Li's face lit up. "You got it!"

At this moment, the entire venue was in an uproar, with students complaining.

"I don't understand~ (Fenghua accent)"

"Why haven't the recruiters arrived yet? Are they putting on airs?"

"I heard from a rumor that some idiot locked the person in charge in the dorm. That's why things are delayed."

"Then he's really an idiot. It'd be a waste of his intelligence not to go work in a factory changing diapers for dogs."

"Recruiting? What recruiting?"

"Bro, why are you here if you don't know anything?"

"I don't know... The counselor told me to come. Said it's for extra credit."

Director: "..."

The Director felt he had never heard such malicious words in his life.

He had to admit, college students were formidable.

Seeing Xu Yi heading towards the stage, the students were confused.

"What's going on? Is this guy going to be the clown?"

"I guess he's the outstanding student representative. He got lucky."

"Is that... the great Xu Yi! Holy crap, it's him! He played an original song back then and it blew everyone away. He's exploded in popularity online now."

Xu Yi faced the students, never imagining that one day he would stand before so many people.

It was truly a moment for reflection.

"Everyone, please stand up!"

Rustle~

The students got up sporadically.

Xu Yi scanned the crowd and nodded. "I don't know who stood up, but I remember perfectly who didn't."

The students still seated were slouching, their faces full of disdain.

"Are you giving orders now? Who do you think you are?"

"You really think you're hot stuff? You tell us to stand, and we stand?"

"Oh great, a poet. We're saved."

Then, Manager Sun went on stage and stood respectfully to Xu Yi's right. He picked up the microphone. "Dear students, this is Xu Yi, the main person in charge of this recruitment event for Furun Group."

Rustle~

All the students who hadn't stood up immediately did so.

"Yes, sir!"

"Man, if you'd said you were in charge earlier, I would have stood up right away."

"I hate humble people the most in my life! Because if you're not careful, you end up offending them."

Xu Yi: "Alright, everyone can sit down. I'm still a student at this school, so there's no need to be nervous."

Student Favorability +1 +1 +1 +1

"Please don't feel distant from me just because I'm the main person in charge, or because I'm the nephew of the Furun Group Chairman. I'm still the same Xu Yi, nothing has changed! My other uncle, who is the Director of the Education Bureau, always told me to be helpful."

Xu Yi closed his eyes with enjoyment, feeling great!

Just from that little speech, he had gained nearly five thousand Emotion Points. Talk about getting rich quick.

He should 'show off' (crosses out) speak more in front of crowds in the future. It's good practice for his communication and reaction skills.

At this moment, not only the students below, but also the viewers in the livestream chat were complaining.

[He's such a show-off... I can't stand it. I really want to punch him.]

[If you actually hit him, you wouldn't be happy anymore.]

[Later I realized my mayor father didn't ignore me on purpose; he had more important families to protect.]

[This essay deserves full marks. I recommend it be read aloud throughout the school.]

After Xu Yi finished showing off, he decisively ducked behind the stage.

Leave the professional stuff to the professionals; it's no longer his concern.

Immediately, Xu Yi excitedly took out his phone. Genshin Impact, launch!

Just kidding~

Xu Yi was preparing to restore the Han Dynasty; the Prime Minister was waiting for him to save him.

He didn't know how much time had passed, nor what Manager Sun had said.

All he knew was that the applause lasted for a long time this time.

Manager Sun took out a list.

"Young Master Xu, this is the list of candidates who meet the recruitment requirements for this job fair."

Xu Yi glanced over it.

To his surprise, Wang Liang and Liu Yu were on it.

"Manager Sun, what positions are you planning to assign Liu Yu and Wang Liang to?"

"Wang Liang applied for Security Team Leader, and Liu Yu applied for the Public Relations Department."

"Public Relations Department?"

Xu Yi's mind immediately conjured up Liu Yu's smug face saying, I can do it~ I can do it~

If he really went to the Public Relations Department, it would be a disgrace to Furun Group.

Customer: Ah, I'm old, it doesn't matter anymore.

Liu Yu: I can do it~ How can you be old? You're still too young to compete with me.

Xu Yi: "Put this one in the security department too, or the cleaning department. He can't be in Public Relations."

Manager Sun nodded. "Did the two of them offend you in some way?"

"Huh?"

"I didn't mean it like that..."

Manager Sun quickly explained, but found himself digging a deeper hole.

Xu Yi could understand. After all, letting a student be the main person in charge, anyone would look down on them.

Xu Yi stated frankly, "They are my roommates."

"Oh, oh, haha... So you must have a good relationship. By the way? What about the other one? Should we also arrange him in the security team?"

"No need, he's going to be a hero in prison."

"???"

To prevent Manager Sun from looking down on his judgment of people, Xu Yi specifically called Liu Yu over.

"Liu Yu, this is Manager Sun. I'd like to introduce you."

Liu Yu immediately looked at him gratefully. "Good brother... for life!! I definitely didn't fawn over you for nothing."

Manager Sun: "We called you here because we want to conduct an on-site interview."

"Huh?"

Liu Yu looked at him with confusion.

"Don't worry, it's just a simple interview. Just do your best," Xu Yi gave an OK gesture.

Only then did Liu Yu smile. As expected of his brother, so meticulous!

This way, no one would dare say he got in through the back door.

Manager Sun: "If you were playing basketball with your leader and you won, but he said, 'You're old and useless now.' How would you respond with high emotional intelligence?"

Liu Yu didn't even think. "1. First, I would assess the situation and the leader's emotions, then step forward and ask, 'Getting worked up?' 2. Second, I would give the leader face and prove that he still has room to improve, by asking, 'Is that all you've got?' 3. Then, I would calm the leader's mood and let him feel involved, saying, 'Fine, you win!' 4. Finally, I would let the leader gain a sense of accomplishment in other areas, saying, 'Your skill is average, but you have quite a temper.'"

Manager Sun: "..."

Seeing Manager Sun remain silent for a long time, Liu Yu asked, "Are you not satisfied with this answer?"

"Are you really just performing normally?"

"I can also perform exceptionally."

"Then show me."

"I'd walk up to him and whisper in his ear, 'Be careful, I'll give you a high EQ response.'"

"..."

Hahaha~

Xu Yi couldn't hold back and burst out laughing on the spot.

Leaving only Manager Sun with a darkened expression.

"Still not good enough? I have a more overbearing recovery method."

"You hateful little thing, I won't allow you to doubt yourself like this."

"Something a bit more anime-esque would be fine too."

"You silly leader... even if I lose... I'll always like you!"

"That's enough!"

Manager Sun quickly called a halt.

He couldn't tell if Liu Yu had low emotional intelligence or was just being abstract.

But either way, if he actually got into the public relations department...

It would undoubtedly be a disaster.

Liu Yu still had a look of anticipation, "Did I pass the interview?"
