接电话线。一位年轻律师在城东的一条繁华街新开了一家律师事务所,他花了很大的一笔资金装修他的事务所。又买了一架豪华的电话机,作最终的装饰。现在这架电话机正漂亮地在写字桌上亮相。秘书报告一个顾客来访,对于首位顾客,年轻律师按规矩让他在候客室等了一刻钟。而后让顾客进来时,律师拿起了电话听筒,为了给客人更深的印象,他假装回答一通极为重要的电话:可敬的总经理,我已对他说了,我们只是彼此浪费时间罢了当然,我知道,好的如果您一定要坚持的话可是您要明白,低于2000万我不能接受好,我同意以后再连络,再见。他终于挂上了电话,面对那位在门口站着不动的顾客,好像非常尴尬。请问您有什么事?律师微笑着问这位局促不安的客人。客人犹豫了半晌,低声说:我是技术工人,公司派我来给你接电话线。大道理:人与人之间的相处,应该是以诚相待,不能够因为你的虚荣心作祟就弄虚作假,真相揭开,双方都会尴尬。故事会在线阅读小故事大道理全集
