Chapter 83 - Compensate Your EQ With IQ
It was just like giving a speech. Even though the words seemed to flow well, but it was only because he had memorized the contents after drafting an outline.
If you were to run out of things to say, you could just move on to the next topic. As long as you had an outline, the transition would be smooth and flawless. If you were to run out of words to say for the second time, then you could move on to the third topic.
Chi Yang looked at the forty-eight topics he had listed out. Those topics allowed him to spend two hours and three minutes talking to Zhong Nuannuan. This broke his record of the longest phone conversation he ever had with someone.
In order to ensure more quality phone calls with his wife in the future, Chi Yang began to seriously analyze the phone conversation he just had with Zhong Nuannuan.
Even though his EQ was not high, he could compensate for that with his IQ.
After analyzing his data, he found out what sort of topics his wife was interested in and which were the ones that they had in common.
Then, he started drafting the outline for their next phonecall. He listed down some topics that his wife would not be interested in but were ones that they needed to talk about.
In order to make everything seem natural, Chi Yang added some sentence connectors. He also thought of ways to combine his talking points so that he could say them more smoothly. He did not want his wife to think that they were in a meeting.
Of course, Zhong Nuannuan had no idea that Chi Yang was doing all this for her sake. She only thought that it was sweet of him to entertain her on the phone for so long and was impressed with his progress.
She leaned against her bed with a book in her hands. She was so distracted after the phone call that she could not even finish reading a page.
