In the books, Varys literally plays Tyrion at every single turn they speak. He tricks Tyrion into removing most of Littlefingers men from power and replacing them with his own(just as an example, the captain of the gold cloaks in the book). Tyrion constantly narrates in his head how good he is at politics and how great he is at the game , and Varys is always quick to reinforce this and compliment him, when in reality he literally gets played like a fiddle by Varys.
