How to Respond to Leaders with High Emotional Intelligence

Xu Yi stopped walking.

"We'll talk about this later, come into the venue with me first. Help me out a bit."

Director Li's face lit up, "Sure thing!"

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 gossip that some idiot locked the person in charge in the dorm. That's why they're delayed."

"Then he's a real idiot. It's a waste for someone with that IQ 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 would give extra credits."

Director: "..."

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

He had to admit, the combat effectiveness of university students was something else.

Seeing Xu Yi walk towards the stage, the students were bewildered.

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

"I guess he's the outstanding student representative. He got lucky and stepped into this."

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

Xu Yi faced the students, never imagining that one day he too would stand before a crowd.

It was truly moving.

"Stand up!"

Rustle~

The students stood up sporadically.

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

The students still sitting were nonchalant, their faces filled with disdain.

"Are you ordering us around now? Who do you think you are?"

"You think you're some big shot? You tell us to stand, so we stand?"

"Great, a poet. We're saved."

Then, Manager Sun came onto the 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 Furun Group's recruitment drive this time."

Rustle~

All the students who hadn't stood up now did.

"Yes, sir!"

"Bro, if you had said you were in charge earlier, I would have stood up right away."

"I hate low-key people the most in my life! Because if I'm not paying attention, I end up offending them."

Xu Yi said, "Alright, everyone can sit down. I'm still a student at this school, so you don't 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 the nephew of the Furun Group Chairman. I'm still that same Xu Yi, nothing has changed! My other uncle, who is the Director of the Education Bureau, always told me to be willing to help others."

Xu Yi closed his eyes as if enjoying himself. "So satisfying!!"

With just that display, he gained nearly five thousand Emotion Points. It was like striking it rich.

In the future, he should show off more (strike that), speak more in front of crowds. It's good for exercising his communication and reaction skills.

At this moment, not only the students below but also the viewers in the live stream were complaining endlessly.

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

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

[Later I learned my mayor father didn't intentionally neglect me, but he had more important families to protect.**]

[This essay deserves full marks. Recommend it be read aloud to the entire school.**]

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

He believed in leaving professional matters to professionals; it was no longer his concern.

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

Just kidding~

Xu Yi was preparing to restore the Han Dynasty. The Prime Minister was still 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.

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 also on the list.

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

"Wang Liang applied for the Security Team Leader position, 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 were actually assigned to the Public Relations Department, it would purely be a disgrace to Furun Group.

Client: "Ah, I'm old and irrelevant now."

Liu Yu: "I can do it~ You're not old at all. You're still too green to compete with me."

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

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

"Hmm?"

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

Manager Sun quickly tried to explain, but found himself digging a deeper hole.

Xu Yi could understand. After all, having a student as the main person in charge would naturally lead to some underestimation from anyone.

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? Why don't we arrange him in the security team as well?"

"No need, he's gone to jail to be a hero."

"???"

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. Let me introduce you."

Liu Yu immediately cast a grateful look. "Good brother... for life!! I definitely didn't flatter you for nothing."

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

"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.

Liu Yu finally smiled. As expected of his brother, he was so thorough!

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

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

Liu Yu, without thinking, replied, "① First, I would assess the situation and promptly notice the superior's emotions, then take small steps forward and lean in to ask, 'Are you frustrated?' ② Secondly, I would give the superior face, proving that he still has room to improve, and promptly ask, 'Is that all?' ③ Next, I would calm the superior's mood and give him a sense of participation, saying, 'Fine, you win!' ④ Finally, I would allow the superior to gain a sense of accomplishment in other areas by saying, 'Your skill level is average, but your temper is quite fiery.'"

Manager Sun: "..."

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

"Is this really you performing normally?"

"I can also perform exceptionally."

"Then show me your exceptional performance."

"I'd walk up to his ear and tell him, '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 no good? I have a more domineering kind of recovery."

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

"Something more anime-ish would be fine too."

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

"Alright!"

Manager Sun hurriedly called a halt.

He could no longer tell if Liu Yu was just bad at reading people, or if he was being deliberately abstract.

But no matter which it was, if he actually got into the public relations department...

It would undoubtedly be a disaster.

Liu Yu still looked expectant, "Did I pass the interview?"
