Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 458: 449: The Reason for Refusal

Chapter 458: Chapter 449: The Reason for Refusal

After the sun climbed to the peak of the sky, it began to slant downward, causing the colors that enveloped the scene to start darkening.

The people coming and going at the courthouse beca even more hurried, their varied expressions and body language weaving a complex dance.

The diversity of people here is even more complex than in a psychological consultation room. If conditions allowed, many cases suitable for psychological intervention might be found here.

When the group erged from the courthouse, Nan Zhubin’s expression remained fairly composed.

Chonghui and Xia Tian’s faces were filled with a sense of defeat.

Xia Tian’s was particularly pronounced.

“I’m sorry, Teacher Nan.” The young woman lowered her head, her mood mirroring the dimming sunlight around them.

Up until closing ti, Chief Judge ng had been reluctant to agree to a long-term partnership with Nan Zhubin’s group.

This got stuck in the bureaucracy.

The reason Nan Zhubin’s team was able to co this ti was, on one hand, because Mrs. Wang’s situation caused too much trouble for Xia Tian and her team, squeezing resources, and interfering with the normal workflow. Many intolerably disturbed staff frequently provided feedback to higher-ups. Xia Tian’s recomndation finally sealed this collaboration.

On the other hand, the nature of Nan Zhubin’s work this ti was akin to a “trial,” requiring fewer approvals and easier decisions.

Now, to achieve a long-term collaboration, an essential step is—Chief Judge ng, having experienced the “trial” with Nan Zhubin, must give a “positive review” of the trial experience.

The current issue is that Chief Judge ng has not agreed.

After lunch, as an intern assistant to Chief Judge ng, Xia Tian seized every available gap in his schedule, exhausting all ans to recomnd Nan Zhubin.

Chief Judge ng might still be hearing phantom whispers of the words “Teacher Nan” around his ears.

Yet Chief Judge ng remained distracted and busy with work, ultimately not giving his nod.

This went on until the end of the workday.

Chonghui frowned, very concerned about this matter, muttering, “Was there sothing today that didn’t et Chief Judge ng’s expectations? It didn’t seem like it; he was visibly shocked during the process, and the outco was good…”

Unless it’s for so more private, dark reasons, like before with Liu Jiahang?

Nan Zhubin was rather carefree: “Actually, today was lucky, good thing that old lady had ulterior motives. I only had to simply and directly expose the sche. If it were a stubborn old person, making interventions with such deeply ingrained cognition would really be difficult…”

Upon hearing Nan Zhubin’s humble response, Xia Tian hurriedly explained, “It’s not Teacher Nan’s fault; perhaps Chief Judge ng has so additional viewpoints of his own…”

Chonghui imdiately focused his gaze, wondering if there might be another minor antagonist involved.

“It’s just, Chief Judge ng has handled quite a few cases related to… uh…” Xia Tian glanced at Nan Zhubin, seemingly concerned about causing offense, “cases related to fraud.”

Nan Zhubin blinked, seemingly understanding.

“It’s those so-called ‘masters’ of [hypnosis], [mind reading], [spiritual healing], and such, so of whom also use [expression analysis] as a guise…” Xia Tian’s voice grew softer.

Chonghui also caught on.

And it felt all too familiar.

“The original sin of those in psychology,” is indeed a burden.

It’s true that Nan Zhubin’s form of [micro-expression analysis] can seem rather mystical.

From an external perspective, it might even have a greater impact than those so-called “masters.”

“It’s okay, Teacher Nan.” Xia Tian quickly regained her composure, “I’ll find another opportunity to speak with Chief Judge ng in the coming days—we really need Teacher Nan!”

Nan Zhubin smiled, about to say sothing, when he suddenly noticed Mo Kai had fallen two steps behind the group.

This assistant was tapping away on his phone while glancing around, making Chonghui chuckle.

“Junior Brother, what are you doing?”

“Oh, Senior Brother.” Mo Kai looked up, “I’m arranging consultations for Nan… Senior Brother.”

Having witnessed Nan Zhubin’s performance in the eting room, Mo Kai was clearly struck. Following so cognitive restructuring, he managed to call “Senior Brother Nan” instead of “Teacher Nan” more smoothly.

Nan Zhubin perked up with interest: “How’s the consultation arrangent going?”

Mo Kai replied, “Yesterday’s visitor has already contacted . She hopes to schedule the next eting as soon as possible.”

This was Lin Xi, a university teacher in her thirties who still lived with her mother. Her need for psychological consultation was indeed pressing.

“But no matter how soon, it should be at least a week apart,” Nan Zhubin advised.

Mo Kai nodded, “And then, the day before yesterday, Teacher Nan had another visitor, right? I obtained his contact information, but he hasn’t responded to yet…”

This referred to Nan Zhihao, a suspected visitor with unexplained [social fear].

The day Nan Zhihao visited, Mo Kai wasn’t at the company, so he didn’t know the person. He had received the contact information through an assistant connected to Liu Jiahang.

“And then, one more thing…”

Mo Kai lowered his voice, “Senior Brother, soone seed to be watching us just now.”

“Five o’clock direction, a man wearing a mask and hat.”

Nan Zhubin blinked, following the gaze.

Sure enough, he saw a tall man, even in the scorching heat, wrapped up tightly with a mask and hat.

He looked sowhat familiar.

Nan Zhubin quickly realized—oh, Nan Zhihao.

Junior Brother, the visitor you just ntioned, who’s been unreachable, is right there.

Admittedly, this visitor’s attire and his continual trailing behind them could easily cause misunderstanding.

But why was this person here?

Upon hearing Mo Kai’s words, Xia Tian’s expression grew serious. However, after using her phone’s selfie cara to glance behind, she breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s fine, Teacher Nan, this is soone I know, probably here to find …”

This response was quite interesting.

Nan Zhubin thought for a mont but decided not to ask further.

Unaware of anything, Mo Kai felt no restrictions: “Is this also one of Chief Judge ng’s clients?”

Xia Tian smiled at this.

Although the question was asked by Mo Kai, Xia Tian answered while looking at Nan Zhubin: “Teacher Nan, there are so things in our field that aren’t convenient to say, you know.”

Nan Zhubin smiled lightly.

Mo Kai blinked, wondering if he should continue speaking when suddenly a voice ca from behind them:

“Xiao Xia, are you just seeing off Teacher Xiao Nan and the others?”

Everyone turned around and saw the weary-faced Chief Judge ng erging from the door. His excuses to Xia Tian about being too busy during the day were not entirely empty talk; he indeed had a heavy workload.
