Nest Official Floor Heating Network recommends the content of this ant story as follows: The protagonist of our story is a red little ant named Xiaoming. Like every ordinary ant, Xiaoming works hard for the ant colony every day. He goes out to collect food and transport supplies when it's still dim in the morning until sunset. For the sake of livelihood, Xiaoming can only do this. At this time, Xiaoming's greatest wish is to be able to work in internal affairs. In that way, he doesn't have to work physically in the sun and rain, and can avoid many unexpected dangers. After working hard for half a year, Xiaoming earned enough food to live on. His reputation among the ants was solid and prominent. The food problem was solved, his reputation was good, but Xiaoming, who was not good at scheming, did not get the coveted internal affairs job. Waiting for him was more complex and labor-intensive material transportation work. It's true that capable people work hard even in the ant colony. After much thought, Xiaoming carefully analyzed his living situation and compared himself with the ants around him. He found that he had no particularly obvious advantages. First, his diploma wasn't strong enough. Secondly, although he worked hard, others were not inferior either. At least, he didn't have any obvious superiority over others. Thirdly, he didn't have a prominent background, lacking a father named Ligang. Combining all these analyses, Xiaoming believed that relying solely on hard work would not help him obtain an internal affairs job. He needed to find another way to build connections. Isn't it what society emphasizes - emotional intelligence being greater than intelligence quotient? But how to build connections? Where to start? Through observation, Xiaoming found that the ants around him had already taken action. Before work every day, some carried water for the leader, some mopped the floor, some brought breakfast, some wiped the table, and some even spent their own money to buy cigarettes. Xiaoming basically had no chance to get involved. Moreover, once he joined in, it would be equivalent to declaring war on all his colleagues. Doing nothing was like waiting for death, but wanting to do something seemed impossible to start. Besides, Xiaoming, who had a bit of pride, despised such obsequious flattery towards the leader. What should he do... (Floor Heating Network) After suffering, depression, complaints, and sacrificing countless brain cells, Xiaoming suddenly remembered the "Deception" strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems that he had read during his idle time. Following this strategy, Xiaoming started the first step by insisting on cleaning the bedroom and workspace every day. Everything that his colleagues did for the leader, Xiaoming copied and did for his colleagues. Every day before work, he turned on the Sanfu floor heating system, carried water, mopped the floor, wiped the table, including the dead angles such as the wall-hung boiler and air conditioning pipes, all wiped clean. When his colleagues came to work, the workspace was warm and comfortable. Don't look down on those young colleagues who seem to serve the leader like oxen, actually, they are unwilling to do the miscellaneous tasks in their own sleeping rooms and workplaces, as if doing these things would lower their status. The second step was that Xiaoming intentionally showed satisfaction with his current life in different places, without any ambition to seek higher positions or treatment, making everyone relax their guard against him. The third step was always humbly seeking advice from colleagues in the work, showing his limited ability, but the actual work results were not low. Time flew, and another half year passed, reaching the end of the year. Everyone thought that Xiaoming did not know how to flatter the leader, lacked ambition, and was such a wimp that he posed no threat to them. Meanwhile, Xiaoming took good care of them, so they were happy to give him a favor and praised him from time to time. This way, Xiaoming successfully deceived everyone and gained widespread praise. Good ant Xiaoming was just waiting to cross the sea (to compete for the coveted internal affairs position). At the end-of-year evaluation, as expected, everyone voted for Xiaoming, who posed no competitive threat to them. Xiaoming also shamelessly cast a vote for himself, passing unanimously and being elected as a model worker. The leader also felt that after Xiaoming arrived, the hygiene conditions of their team improved significantly. Moreover, Xiaoming handled his colleague relationships very harmoniously, without flattering the leader, indicating that Xiaoming had character. In fact, the leader looked down on the small ants who always flattered him from the bottom of his heart. Xiaoming perfectly used the "Deception" strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems to obtain the only internal affairs quota. After seeing the puzzled faces of his colleagues who couldn't figure out why, Xiaoming secretly rejoiced, thinking how terrifying it was to lack knowledge in this era.
