What is the most expensive debt in the world? Naturally, it is the debt of gratitude.
Chairman Bao'en, in order to solicit Chu Feng's assistance, did not hesitate to offer the one thing most capable of moving Chu Feng. That was the debt of gratitude he owed to Chu Feng.
"Well... saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storied pagoda. Since Chairman Bao thinks so highly of me, I will make an effort to try!"
"But to be clear, Chairman Bao should not hold too great an expectation. I can only do my best."
Chu Feng did not overpromise, but instead remained as humble as possible.
This was precisely the cleverness in how he conducted himself.
It made Chairman Bao'en believe that it was not an easy task for Chu Feng to lend a hand. That considerable effort, even a desperate effort, was required to succeed. It also kept others from gauging the depth of Chu Feng's skills.
