Today I’ll teach you some techniques on how to get away with things in a perfunctory manner.

“Important things are made into trivia, and inanimate things are personified.”

Let’s make a joke of the important things first.

One year, a person died in a detention center in Yunnan. He suffered external injuries, so it should have been reported properly.

However, there was a very smart person who worked in publicity. He arranged for a statement to be issued saying that the suspects were playing "hide and seek" and that the deceased had died by hitting his head against a wall. He also organized an investigation team of netizens to find out the truth.

Later investigation results showed that the deceased was knocked to the ground and killed by someone.

The person who planned this publicity plan had a successful career for a while, but was later investigated for disciplinary violations.

Trying to use "acting cute" to escape the heaviest accusations and blame, or even use it to hype oneself up as a celebrity, is a typical case, and a complete failure because it is frivolous.

Then talk about personifying inanimate objects.

For example, when a child sees two locomotives, one big and one small, she might say, "This is a mother train and a baby train."

If you tell children that trains are not living creatures, that they don’t have families, children, and are not born, then that would be a disservice. You would have to smile and tell the children, yes, they are mother trains and baby trains.

But if someone told you now that trains can give birth to children, iron pots can give birth to children, and houses are subject to birth, aging, sickness and death, what would you think?

You will only become alert and think that the other party is treating you as a fool.

At the press conference of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, a new concept was mentioned: "housing pension."

You need to take care of yourself in old age, so you have to pay pension insurance every month, right? Your house will also age, so you have to pay some money every month so that it can be repaired in the future.

When the Minister and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development mentioned this concept, they specifically emphasized that "individuals will not be required to pay directly now."

In the future, paying money indirectly is also unbearable.

This is a matter of adding additional maintenance funds or imposing property taxes.

Why don't these people speak properly? Why do they have to talk to you in a kindergarten tone and treat you like a child?

Because this matter is not reasonable, saying it in a childish tone is just an attempt to get away with it.

Anthropomorphism is one such technique that is full of intrigue.

The less reliable a person is, the more likely they are to be used at work.

But don’t ever think that “there’s nothing wrong with being a little more lively in your promotions”.

When it comes to money and life, there is no need to be lively, just speak frankly.

When it comes to serious matters, anyone who pretends to be naive is trying to fool you.

For example, your sewer is blocked.

You ask the property management officer to come to your house, wearing the plumbing uniform, and after a few clicks, the block is unblocked. That's it.

If a master comes, wearing a double-breasted jacket, a goatee, and ancient-style glasses, he will touch your water pipe with three fingers and sigh.

"There's a fire in your sewer."

I'll prescribe you a bottle of enema.

"You have to take your time to heal. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If it doesn't work after a week, you should sell the house."

You will definitely think, “This is outrageous! This is outrageous!”

If you can recognize perfunctory and deceptive rhetoric, you won't fall for it.

Tell them openly:

Money is money, fees are fees, and taxes are taxes.

Don't act coquettishly or act stupid.

Don't bluff.
