Flattery is just the entry point; truly opening your heart and speaking honestly is the real way in.

For those who always want to establish a persona, appear noble, but are actually poor and sour (uh, speaking of Lao Deng), the most unbearable thing is that kind of concrete, heartfelt honesty.

At first, it’s not about praising you, but telling you a story.

This story involves specific characters, time, and place (not too obviously fake), has some distance but also some connection to you, and certain details can make you empathize and resonate. At this point, they might say:

I know this is difficult, but only you can do this.

Or, even more harshly: Hey, I’ve talked to so many people, listed xxx, xxx, but after talking to them, only you can do it, and I can rest assured.

Then add: I don’t have much money, but this is my heartfelt gesture within my means, xx (this price must be higher than the market rate).

I mean… this isn’t just human kindness, it’s a debt.

Add another line: It’s better if this xxx xxx still has some competitive relationship with you (but not to the point of breaking ties), with comparable fame, or even slightly surpassing.

And include a censored chat screenshot to increase credibility.

If the screenshot also contains a conversation where the other person says you’re not capable, but argues passionately for you～

OMG, these pictures aren’t just a token of friendship, but a matter of life and death—pro max version.

You can only go all in.
