Chapter 525: Chapter 240: If My Words Don’t Shock Them, I Won’t Rest in Peace!

"All right, no more jokes."

Han Lie suddenly broke into a smile, pulling Tang Xintian out of her stupor.

Giving her a glance, the rascal nonchalantly delivered a fatal blow, "You’re too impatient, trying to achieve everything in one go, which isn’t good."

Tang Xintian’s pupils contracted, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Just as she was about to closely observe the other party, she saw Han Lie lower his head again and continue eating his meal slowly, and a sudden epiphany struck her.

Well, well, it turns out she was dealing with a top-notch master!

People who study psychology usually don’t mind others guessing their thoughts. Healthy individuals don’t always keep to themselves. On the contrary, an open mindset helps personal growth.

The significance of grasping some knowledge of psychology is to create a barrier to filter out the negatives, promoting a healthy personality, a sound mindset, and building self-confidence.

Thus, psychologists have a very unique perspective when observing people.

They generally don’t value money, wealth, or appearances but instead emphasize the health and independence of one’s character, understanding the human heart at a deeper level.

This perspective focuses on the bone, not the skin.

While Tang Xintian can’t be considered a psychologist, her knowledge of psychology was enough to ensure she remained unbeatable in normal social interactions.

Creating profiles for the people she met, establishing psychological records, discerning character weaknesses to predict others’ behavioral patterns and underlying logic—all of these made dealings a breeze for her.

Previously, every move she made had a deeper meaning.

The careful observations in Director Huang’s office...

Bringing Han Lie back to her own office instead of directly sending him to the private banking department...

Insisting on making tea herself...

Calling the handsome guy Little White to bring the tea set...

Describing a subordinate as a "scarecrow" twice...

Mentioning her own difficulties in a conversation that went quickly from shallow to deep, and expressing gratitude...

Putting Han Lie on a pedestal...

Honestly, if she were dealing with an ordinary college student, that kid’s fondness for her would probably skyrocket.

Even when dealing with normal successful individuals, she would at least receive a significant amount of positive feedback.

—Not every successful entrepreneur is adept at psychology. Most people’s success is actually the result of a confluence of time and opportunity, rather than an inevitable outcome of pure competence.

But, when such sharp tactics were applied to Han Lie...

Oh boy, she merely mentioned Little White twice, and he crushed her cunning plans to smithereens.

Just when she was confused, he suddenly came out with "just kidding," which totally broke her defense.

Tang Xintian had never been played like this in her entire life.

What does it mean to be played? It’s when someone sees right through her thoughts, could easily resolve them but chooses the most confrontational approach instead. Was it so hard not to scare me with Little White?!

Clutching the soup spoon tightly, Tang Xintian’s breath whistled through her nostrils, her chest heaving uncontrollably, both angry and ashamed, wishing she could charge forward and bite that rascal.

Her anger stemmed from Han Lie’s mockery, but her embarrassment was more complex.

To put it simply—the impact of that last sentence was too fierce and massive.

If Han Lie hadn’t made it explicit, she could have feigned ignorance, laughing it off and muddling through the matter.

But there were no ifs.

Han Lie slapped her face with the truth, and she couldn’t retaliate because he was right.

Tang Xintian was indeed acting too hastily. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ordinary people might not notice, but experts in psychology could definitely see through it.

And it was that last sentence that made Tang Xintian realize, oh, Han Lie understood everything, his level was above hers... Were her previous attempts simply an exercise in futility? So, she was not only angry but also ashamed and flustered. Ah, how utterly embarrassing!

But looking at it from another angle, it was because of Han Lie’s proactive disclosure that she didn’t need to guess aimlessly anymore and only had to face an open situation.

This was Han Lie drawing the line, showing her leniency.

Otherwise, she might have been toyed with without ever understanding the real situation, which would have been more embarrassing and awkward than now.

Tang Xintian bit her lower lip hard, her expression complex as she looked at Han Lie. After hesitating for a moment, she finally squeezed out a conceding phrase.

"Thank you, Teacher Han, for the reminder. I’ll pay attention to that in the future."

Yo, she’s flexible, conceding so quickly~~~

Who knows how Tang Xintian silently psyched herself up inside? She had always been the pampered girl and had never yielded to a man.

Therefore, her attitude was not very gentle or cute, carrying a bit of defiance.

Han Lie didn’t mind.

Looking up to meet her gaze, he said with a gentle smile, "Sister Tangtang is too polite. In fact, we won’t have many interactions in the future. I was the one being too forward."

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

At the words "being too forward," Tang Xintian felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.

An unintentional remark? Impossible! The rascal was undoubtedly doing it on purpose, with a mocking undertone!

With drooping eyelids, Tang Xintian buried her head to eat, resolutely deciding in her heart: I’ll keep things strictly professional from now on. If I try to build a rapport with you again, then I’m a dog!

As she calmed down, Han Lie became even quieter.

He took his time eating, his actions measured, his mood even more so.

In everything he did, he knew just the right moment. Now, the level of provocation was just enough for her. Any more would have been too much.

Four sentences, precisely four levels. The first, "Hand Little White over to me," was meant to be an unexpected strike, intentionally disrupting her rhythm. The second, "Does Little White want to go?" was to break free from her script, using strong opposition to shatter her preset traps. The third, "You’re too impatient," directly initiated the confrontation, simultaneously establishing a dominant psychological advantage and breaking her composure.
