Actually, there is no need even to be "fake" (answering something generic). Try to find a good, real, reason to stay in good terms. There is always one. Be genuinely interested in them as people and as a company. In other words, always look how are you going to get new friends / allies. People are good in general (there are some jerks but that is beside the point).
