At this moment, Jiang Lu wasn't the one being pushed into something like a duck to water as in the banquet hall; instead, he radiated full confidence.
Helping others is fine, but it's not enough to just get the job done well, you also have to make them understand that it wasn't easy.
Somehow, "a piece of cake" has shifted from a modest phrase used by those offering help to one that those asking for help use to take advantage.
"Isn't it just a piece of cake for you? Do you really need a reward?"
Such words always make one's blood boil.
So, to avoid this kind of coercion, it's best to let them know from the start that the task isn't an easy one to handle. Even if it truly is easy, you still need to make it sound as difficult as the path to Shu, harder than reaching the skies.
Because only by doing so can you highlight your irreplaceability and your timely assistance.
No one else but you can get the job done; after it's completed, what comes next goes without saying, right?
