We should actively defend the obvious unreasonable accusations in public(dui ming xian bu he li de dang zhong zhi ze yi ji ji bian hu )

To be criticized or accused by your boss, although you should listen sincerely and modestly, it doesn't mean that you have to swallow your anger. No matter what he says is right or not, you have to accept it. If necessary, you should have the courage to make a positive defense.

For example, in the time of Duke Wen of Jin Dynasty, the chef asked people to offer barbecue, but the meat was wrapped with hair. Wengong called the chef, scolded him and said, "do you want me to choke? Why do you wrap your hair around the barbecue? "

The chef kowtowed his head, bowed two times, pretended to confess his guilt, and said, "I have three convictions for my death: I found a fine grindstone to sharpen my knife, which was as sharp as a sword. When I cut the meat, it broke, but the hair stuck on the meat didn't cut off, which is one of my crimes; when I put the stick on the meat, I didn't find my hair, which is my second crime; holding the blazing stove, The charcoal fire is red, the barbecue is cooked, but the hair is not burnt. This is Xiaochen's third crime. Are there any courtiers in the hall of the king who hate the little courtiers

Wen Gong said, "you have a point." So he called the courtiers outside the hall to ask. Sure enough, someone wanted to frame the kitchen official, so Wengong killed him.

Here, the chef takes a positive and negative way to actively defend himself. He pretended to be guilty and confessed three counts in order to clarify the facts.
