This Star's Emotional Intelligence Is Off the Charts

Jiang Hao, a minor celebrity, binds himself to an entertainment-industry praise-to-destroy System. Every time he carries out one of its schemes, he earns a reward. And so, the entertainment world gains a highly tactful, endlessly agreeable nice guy. On The Yearning Life, Chef Huang makes a pot of poisonous green beans stewed with meat. Nobody else dares touch it, but Jiang Hao takes a bite and praises it on the spot: “Mmm, these beans are delicious! Who says they’re old? They’re amazing!” Overjoyed by the praise, Chef Huang keeps experimenting with new dishes. One day, he makes a pot of nine-turn large intestine. The guests exchange glances, and nobody reaches for their chopsticks. Jiang Hao takes the lead and tries some. “Mr. Huang, did you wash these intestines?” Huang Lei: “I washed them, but not thoroughly, because I wanted to preserve some of the ingredients’ original flavor!” Jiang Hao: “Was that an accident, or did you do it on purpose?” Huang Lei: “Of course I did it on purpose!” Jiang Hao gives him a thumbs-up, looking utterly delighted. “Perfect intestines!” Netizens: “Jiang Hao is so tactful. This is all about knowing how to deal with people. I used to scoff at this stuff, but now I’m studying it frame by frame!”
