Sometimes people are like this, the more submissive you act, the more others tend to push you around; but stand up straight and speak your mind, and they may actually feel indebted to you.
This truth was verified in Ye Zhenzhen's case.
After Qi Tao hung up the phone with Ye Zhenzhen, he felt regretful yet unwilling to let it go. He wasn't angry at being rejected by Ye Zhenzhen; on the contrary, his respect for her grew.
As he left his office, he ran into Yang Ping.
"How did it go?" Yang Ping asked.
He had heard that Qi Tao called Ye Zhenzhen personally, and he came over especially to inquire about it.
"Scheduling conflicts!" Qi Tao used the exact words that Director Yang had previously proposed as a solution and returned them to Yang Ping.
