Matters needing attention of funeral guests

Note 1: punctuality

Now big cities are congested, unless you are the biggest boss and leader at the dinner table, if not, don't be late. China is a country of etiquette. Most people wait for everyone to eat. A dozen people are waiting for you. The longer they wait, the more they hate you. There are so many such things that they don't call you at all. Stop playing? The wolf is coming? It will take you 40 minutes to get there, but you haven't gone out yet, so you have to say that you are ten minutes short-these ten minutes add up, and no one will believe you anymore. In addition, the host should be the first to be present, and others should not go too early, appearing to have not eaten for months, and should not come later than the big leader. I'd rather go to the hotel to play mobile phone in advance and enter the venue five minutes earlier than the appointed time, so that everyone can't welcome you.

Note 2: Friends and business contacts

It doesn't matter where you eat, what matters is who you eat with; It doesn't matter what you eat, the key is to eat happily; It doesn't matter who pays the bill. What matters is that people at the same level should take turns sitting in the village. Of course, there are two kinds of people who never have to pay the bill: big leaders and invited people. The general principle is: whoever pays for dinner, whoever pays for the site, and whoever has more money pays for it. Otherwise, this circle is not as good as the first time, or consciously take turns to sit in the village. Maybe someone has paid for dinner with you ten times, but you have to invite him back three or four times, or you and your host always pay for it, but you have bought a small order three or four times.

Note 3: Be disciplined.

When someone brings you a cup, you twist it twice and pretend you can't drink it. Others take food, you take food, others stand up, you stand up. After the big boss toasts, you propose a toast. Be quiet when others are quiet. Others eat soup, you also eat soup.

Whenever we eat, it must be an organized, purposeful and local war. Bullets are aimed at conspicuous people, so there is always a good impression on those who obey the rules, so that others will call you next time.
