Howard suggested to Nan Zhubin to lie about his age, like rounding it up to "30," or at least say "28" or "27".
At least it sounds more credible than "24."
But Nan Zhubin refused.
The consultant and the visitor need to build a good consultation relationship through trust. If the age is lied about from the beginning, it is like planting a mine.
Will this visitor care about the consultant's young age?
Nan Zhubin observed the visitor's reaction.
Upon hearing Nan Zhubin's age, the other person smiled slightly.
"We are the same age, Mr. Nan."
[Is this reaction... joy?]
Alright, the needs of visitors are diverse, and all understandable.
"How should I address you?"
"All my friends call me 'Xuanxuan.'
The voice was muffled, and Nan Zhubin felt something was not quite right.
Nan Zhubin waited for two or three breaths' time, but the visitor did not speak up voluntarily.
He was about to say something to guide the conversation.
