.三顾茅庐 repeatedly request somebody to take up a responsible post。挥金如土 to spend money like dirt, spend money like water 掌上明珠 a pearl in the palm,the apple of ones eye 守口如瓶 to keep a still tongue in ones head 雪中送炭 to help a lame dog over a stile 竭泽而渔 to kill the goose that lays the gold eggs打草惊蛇 to wake a sleeping dog 易如反掌 as easy as falling off a log /a pie /cake 玩火自焚 to fry in ones own grease 胸有成竹 to have a card up ones sleeve
