Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 405 - 398: The High EQ of Nan Zhubin

The consultants and assistants who were working with their heads down slightly looked up when they heard the commotion from Nan Zhubin’s side.

Then they lowered their heads again.

The consultants at the Psychological Consultation Center work seriously, but definitely not at full capacity. Necessary rest and ntal upkeep are still essential for a consultant.

But even so, Nan Zhubin is currently the most idle person at the consultation center.

He doesn’t take on other visitors and spends most of his ti doing exercises at his desk, occasionally taking a nap.

However, everyone maintains a tacit understanding, refraining from comnting on this.

So even find it perfectly normal.

Creaaak—

When Nan Zhubin pushed open the door to the boss’s office, he saw Chang Ming and Weng Pinting inside.

"Old Chang?" Nan Zhubin hadn’t known about Chang Ming’s arrival and greeted him with so surprise.

As he greeted them, he instinctively took in the expressions of both people in the office.

Chang Ming without a doubt showed {joy}, tinged with a bit of {impatience}.

As for Weng Pinting—

{A montary downturn of the mouth corner.}

{Briefly frozen gaze.}

{Jaw muscles tensed.}

"Zhuren, it’s been a long ti." Chang Ming addressed him with a rather friendly term.

After the incident at Jiang Yizhong, their relationship had shifted from "colleagues" to sowhat "friends," becoming quite familiar.

"You seem to have beco more charismatic again... wait, it’s not just a feeling, you really have beco more handso?"

Chang Ming gazed at Nan Zhubin with so astonishnt.

Before he could say anything further,

the next second, Nan Zhubin showed an embarrassed expression: "Are you discussing sothing? I just ca to Sister Pingting to report a case..."

Upon hearing this, Chang Ming imdiately looked enlightened: "The confidentiality principle, right? I get it, you chat first, and Teacher Wong can brief you on my matters..."

Randomly calling over an assistant to take Chang Ming to the reception room, Weng Pinting breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Nan Zhubin and complinted, "You’re quite quick to react, I was just thinking about what excuse to use to send him away so I could have a word with you privately."

Nan Zhubin closed the door: "Can’t I actually have sothing to report to you?"

"What could you have going on lately, without many visitors on hand?" Weng Pinting chuckled lightly, "Are you planning to ask for problem-solving tips? You’d be better off calling Dahui directly."

Nan Zhubin shrugged.

The conversation returned to the topic.

"Why did Old Chang co, looking for ? Or sothing related to ?"

Weng Pinting nodded: "Figured you’d see through it right away."

"He ca to talk about two things: one is that their Health Commission wants you to give them a lecture, they said it’s because the Jiang Yizhong case you handled previously was exemplary, and their leadership specifically nad you."

"The second thing is that he personally wants psychological consultation; possibly due to past experiences, combined with the recent Jiang Yizhong incident, hence... wait, are you zoning out?"

For a mont, Nan Zhubin’s gaze lost focus.

But he quickly regained clarity.

Before Weng Pinting could get upset over Nan Zhubin’s mont of distraction,

Nan Zhubin nodded to himself and analyzed: "I understand."

"Old Chang indeed had so unique experiences before, and the recent Jiang Yizhong incident brought about significant emotional experiences for him. Although it’s been resolved satisfactorily, he might be experiencing so cognitive dissonance due to conflicts between ’now’ and ’past’. It’s good that he’s willing to seek consultation."

"As for the lecture at the Health Commission... it’s a bit exaggerated. After all, we’re just an outsourced ’expert team’, doing this well is part of our job, their response to invite us to lecture is reasonable but sowhat exaggerated, given that we’re still far from their league..."

Nan Zhubin pursed his lips: "The news from the police departnt probably reached them. Director Zhou’s attitude towards was quite ambiguous, on one hand because I graduated from Zhejiang University— but that’s a minor factor, Jiangdu has no shortage of Zhejiang alumni."

"The major factor should be Director Xia. My two most notable cases were personally handled by Director Xia, and we indeed had quite a few interactions exceeding ’normal working relationships’. The leadership at the Health Commission likely wants to curry favor, to build a relationship, to facilitate future contacts when needed..."

Weng Pinting, who had her arms crossed, slowly dropped them.

She was sowhat surprised, then looked at Nan Zhubin with a gaze full of interest.

The young man’s reaction was indeed sowhat unexpected.

"Your response today is quite quick, I was planning to analyze it with you and then let you consider whether to accept it."

You know, although Nan Zhubin has been reliable in the past— that reliability was limited to the field of psychological consultation.

At heart, he’s just a young man who’s been out of the ivory tower for just over a year.

His experience in dealing with the system is even less.

Once again, psychological people’s high emotional intelligence often only stays within the consultation room; outside the consultation room, they’re still clear-eyed.

Even though he might understand things, Nan Zhubin is definitely a smart person. But the mindset developed over a long ti is difficult to change.

Normally, young people like him, when encountering these worldly affairs, find it hard to react on the spot and easily end up being led by the nose.

They might only realize the situation before going to bed at night— "So that’s how it was during the day!"

But the speed of thought Nan Zhubin is showing now suggests he’s like a second-generation person brought up with system insiders from an early age.

Within a short ti, he seized the correct answer among all possibilities.

Swift and accurate, almost instinctive.

Weng Pinting knows that Nan Zhubin certainly doesn’t co from an influential background.

So there is only one answer.

"You’ve only been dealing with them for such a short ti and you’ve learned so quickly." Weng Pinting genuinely felt pleased.

Nan Zhubin smiled and steered the conversation back to business: "Sister Pingting, you seem to not want to accept?"

Weng Pinting replied a bit grumpily: "When have you ever listened to my suggestions? At most I can help you analyze the situation, then you decide for yourself, just as you do with visitors during consultations..."

Before she finished speaking, Nan Zhubin was already smiling.

"I’m not taking on either task."

"In terms of psychological consultation for Old Chang, we now have a {dual relationship}, which needs to be avoided."

"As for the Health Commission’s invitation, I actually don’t have much personal connection with Director Xia, I can’t give them what they want; even if I did have a connection with Director Xia, I wouldn’t want to use it in this way."

Nan Zhubin added: "Yet Old Chang probably ans well. He doesn’t understand the professional ethics of consultation and doesn’t know about {dual relationships}, wanting to find soone familiar is normal; regarding the Health Commission invitation, he doesn’t know that I plan to go to Beidu for academic work again, nor does he realize the aspect involving Director Xia, so it’s possible that he sincerely thinks this is a good opportunity for ."

Weng Pinting was montarily at a loss.

Then once again, she looked Nan Zhubin up and down.

After a while, she slowly exhaled: "You’ve already said everything... are you not considering reconsidering?"

Nan Zhubin showed a smile: "I’ve already thought it through very thoroughly. I’m declining both."
