The year before last, when Li Yi first entered the workplace, a senior in the workplace taught him that "you must be punctual." Therefore, he listens to the radio and adjusts the time before going to work every day. One day in August the year before last, he made an appointment with a client to discuss cooperation at 9 a.m. the next day. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily the next day and there was a traffic jam on the way. When Li Yi saw the other customer representative, his watch showed exactly 9 o'clock. Next, Li Yi finally won the cooperation project with his excellent negotiation skills and sincere attitude. Before leaving, the customer manager said to him sincerely: "The young man is very capable. I won't care if you are 3 minutes late. However, you must remember to be punctual in the future." Li Yi then discovered that on the wall of the company The time displayed by a big clock is 3 minutes ahead of my own time. But he did not give any explanation for his "lateness" and accepted the criticism humbly.

After learning this lesson, Li Yi adjusted all his time display tools by 5 minutes. He said: "The nature of my work determines that I can only wait for the client, not the client waiting for me. Being 5 minutes faster will not only avoid the recurrence of the 'unexpected lateness' incident, but more importantly, it can prevent the other party from complaining about time issues." The company and I have a credit crisis."
