Chapter 6094 (Six Thousand and Ninety-Four) Flexibility

The Brown-Handed Man said, “He seems to have developed a habit.”

“Habit of having you do his work?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“That’s right.” The brown-handed man said, “I really don’t know how long it will last. After all, a few days ago he asked me to do something that he should have done himself, and while I was doing it, he also said something that would help me understand him.”

The Gray Hand Man asked, “Was it like this a few days ago?”

“Yes, if these things hadn’t happened today, they would probably continue in the future,” said the man with brown hands.

Gray Hand said: “Actually, he has that kind of ‘handle’ on me as well.”

“What ‘handle’?” asked the brown-handed man.

“It’s similar to your case, but also different.” The Gray Hand said, “Last time he asked me to do something, I did it exactly as he said, but it failed. He said I was inflexible and not flexible enough.”

The brown-handed man said, “It’s the opposite of mine. You don’t dare to be too flexible, right?”

“Yes, if I had been more flexible, things might have turned out like you did.” The gray-handed man said, “He said that I failed because I was inflexible, but before I did it, he repeatedly reminded me to strictly follow his instructions and not to change the process without permission.”

“Does he think differently now?” asked the brown-handed man.

“I think he just said it differently.” The Gray Hand said, “If he did it his way, he wouldn’t say that.”

The brown-handed man said, “If he fails according to his method, he will blame you for the failure, right?”

“Well, it’s because I’m inflexible and not flexible enough.” The Gray Hand said, “If he hadn’t reminded me so many times, I would never have done it anyway.”

The brown-handed man said, “But you had no choice but to listen to him at that time.”

Gray Hand Man said: “He said he wanted to train me to be flexible. I don’t know where I got the courage to refute him at that time.”

The man with brown hands said, “Refute? You are indeed very brave.” “I said refutation, but actually I refuted more in my heart, and what I said verbally was not that aggressive,” said the man with gray hands.

“What did you say?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

The Gray Hand Man said, “I said, he told me to do as he said before, and I listened to him.”

The brown-handed man asked, “What was his reaction?”

“He said that even if we listen to him, we should also be flexible and find ways to get things done.” said the man with gray hands.

“The method he offers won’t get the job done, will it?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“Yes, in fact, I tried to raise objections before going to do the work.” The Gray Hand said, “I asked him if a certain situation would affect the outcome of this matter.”

The Brown-Handed Man said, “He didn’t take it seriously?”

Gray Hand said: “He frowned and stared at me and asked me: ‘Do I understand or do you understand?'”

“Now that it’s come to this, it’s really not appropriate for you to continue.” said the man with brown hands.

“I was still trying to argue. I said he must understand, and I said I just thought of some situations that might affect the result.” Gray Hand said, “But he interrupted me before I could finish my words.”

The brown-handed man asked, “What did he say to interrupt?”

“He glared at me and said, ‘Do as I say! Do as I say! You talk too much nonsense!'” Grayhand said.

“Then you didn’t dare to bring it up again?” asked the man with brown hands.

“Yes.” The Gray Hand said, “Otherwise I might have been punished by him at that time. But now that I think about it, I don’t know if it would have been a little better if I had been punished by him at that time.”
