Chapter 817: Chapter 291: Really Got Completely Duped
Originally.
He went to the lecture, just wanting to give it a try.
Along with the dean.
After listening to half a session, they almost got caught up in the various strategies of this "Master."
This "Master" first kept lowering their level of understanding.
Dragging them down to the same level.
Then he used some success jargon to trap them.
Among those present...
Were elites from various industries.
Including owners of small and medium-sized enterprises and those planning to start a business, young and middle-aged people alike.
But there were few elderly people.
Qin Mu nodded his head.
After listening to Wan Zhongyuan’s description, he became even more interested in this Master of success lectures.
So.
He immediately tidied up a bit, applied for leave on DingTalk, and headed to Lianzhou.
...
Four hours later.
Qin Mu drove his car and smoothly arrived in Lianzhou.
This time...
He didn’t bring along any of those "deadweights" from the institute.
They showed no interest in such so-called success lectures.
Their biggest attraction...
Was still the little events like giving out eggs.
They were mostly seventy or eighty years old.
To put it bluntly, half of them were already in the grave, so success wasn’t very tempting to them.
"Sir, excuse me... do you have an invitation?"
At the entrance of the venue.
As Qin Mu was about to go in, he was stopped by a security guard.
An invitation, also known as an entrance ticket.
Nie Yunxiao’s normal lectures cost 1000 yuan each, requiring payment to obtain such an entrance ticket.
With the entrance ticket...
Only then can one enter the venue and attend the lecture.
Qin Mu nodded and opened his phone.
He showed the invitation QR code.
Only then did the security guard let him in.
Following the guidance.
He walked all the way into a medium-sized venue.
This venue...
Was neither large nor small, able to accommodate at least a thousand people.
After he entered.
He happened to see a very bustling scene.
Those who bought the course...
Each person had a stack of business cards in hand, constantly introducing themselves, while distributing their cards to others.
"President Wang, President Wang, long time no see, where have you been making money lately? Don’t forget to give us a hand if there’s something good."
"Mr. Zhao, didn’t expect you to also come to listen to Master Nie’s lecture?"
"After listening to Master Nie’s corporate management course last time, I benefitted a lot, I reorganized my company after returning and fired all those idle employees!"
"Actually, I think Master Nie’s ’Being and Conduct’ course is the most useful, never knew there were so many ways to conduct oneself and handle affairs."
"Mr. Lin, here’s my business card..."
"..."
Qin Mu sat in a corner of the venue.
Although extremely low-key, avoiding trouble, he was still noticed.
A group of people approached him.
All opening and closing their mouths with "President Qin," forcibly giving him a pile of business cards.
He couldn’t hold them all in his two hands.
"Are these people... this crazy?"
Qin Mu’s mouth twitched, feeling quite speechless.
In his view.
There were approximately three to four hundred people in this medium-sized venue, and each was dressed in formal business attire.
They seemed to be entrepreneurs, owners of companies, and such.
Yet he...
Came in casual wear to listen to the lecture.
Looking completely out of place.
From listening to their conversations, he could confirm that these people had some cultural education.
They weren’t those who haven’t studied.
Having achieved some success in their careers but encountering some bottlenecks or difficulties.
So.
Nie Yunxiao’s success lecture became their "guide."
He also saw several people with pens and paper, sitting in seats with faces full of expectations.
"This master... has something going on."
He couldn’t help but mutter a sentence.
At this moment.
A stir appeared in the venue, many people focused their eyes on the front podium.
A middle-aged man in a white long shirt, with a small braid left on the nape of his neck, walked onto the podium.
It immediately stirred cheers throughout the place.
Some people even screamed.
"Everyone, please quiet down."
This middle-aged man first glanced at the entire venue and then grinned: "Today, three hundred and fifteen discerning individuals came to listen to the lecture, honestly, I’m very pleased."
"You won’t regret attending today’s session."
"And those who didn’t come... will regret it for the rest of their lives!"
Within a few sentences.
It once again triggered cheers from the crowd below.
Qin Mu watched the zealous performances of these people and his mouth twitched.
With his experience of living two lives...
He instantly realized these people’s abnormality.
Such a scene is normal abroad, but in the country, it’s extremely unusual.
No doubt.
These people screaming and stirring emotions in the venue were specially appointed stooges by this middle-aged man, namely Nie Yunxiao.
Or called sycophants.
The existence of these people is to create an atmosphere, crafting a facade of "the master is amazing," "the venue is heated."
Among the three hundred people, it estimated that a small portion were stooges.
"Alright, today, we aren’t discussing corporate management, but talking about ’Tao.’"
On the podium.
This braided Nie Yunxiao picked up a pen and scrabbled three words on the blackboard behind.
No more babbling.
Instead, directly entering the topic.
Qin Mu sat in the corner, looking at the crooked, extremely clumsy "Tao" character on the blackboard, shook his head helplessly.
No need to say more.
Judging by handwriting alone, even elementary school students could beat him by three blocks.
