Chapter 768 WPG Hope Experiment? Two Solutions: Labor Reform and Psychotherapy, Gentlemanly Conduct?
Sui Chunsheng did not answer An Wuyang's question immediately.

"Mr. An, are you familiar with palliative care in the medical field?" Sui Chunsheng asked.

An Wuyang frowned slightly; he really did know!
After all, Wu Gengtian had been deeply involved in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, while An Wuyang, having been exposed to it since childhood, still only had a superficial understanding of many related medical knowledge.

Palliative care is a nice-sounding name; it is also known as end-of-life care.

In general, this refers to providing humanistic care for the terminal stage of certain incurable diseases, reducing the patient's pain and discomfort, improving the quality of remaining life, and allowing the patient to leave as comfortably and with dignity as possible.

An Wuyang didn't understand what Sui Chunsheng meant by saying that. Did she have some extreme ideas before?
Seeing that An Wuyang did not answer, Sui Chunsheng was unsure whether An Wuyang knew about palliative care or not.

So Sui Chunsheng continued, "Does President An know about the Pygmalion effect?"

An Wuyang really didn't know this time!
"I'm not quite sure," An Wuyang replied.

"What about the Hope Experiment? Has President An heard of any information about it?" Sui Chunsheng asked again.

"I know that!" An Wuyang really did know about this!

The so-called "Hope Experiment" was a biological experiment conducted about seventy years ago. The experiment involved putting white mice into glass containers filled with water and observing how long the mice could swim in the water.

Experimental observations show that, in most cases, mice can only survive for about fifteen minutes before drowning.

Based on this situation, the experimenters further improved the experiment. When the mice were swimming in the water for 15 minutes and were on the verge of drowning, they were taken out to rest for a while, given food, and dried off.

Then, these mice were put back into a glass container filled with water and allowed to swim in the water to observe how long they could stay afloat.

Logically speaking, with the same batch of mice and the same glass container filled with water, even after rest and replenishment of food, the results should be similar to the first experiment, right?

However, according to the information circulating, this is not the case!

According to previous experimental records, mice that had rested and been fed were able to stay in the water for up to sixty hours after being submerged a second time!

Yes!

The second time he fell into the water, he survived for a full 240 times longer than the first time!
This experiment is called the "Hope Experiment," which states that when people have hope, both their physiological endurance and psychological resilience can be significantly enhanced.

For the mice, they were rescued from the water after enduring fifteen minutes, given food, rest time, and even had their bodies dried.

When they fall into the water again, they have the hope of being rescued again, so they can hold on for longer while waiting for a possible rescue.

Although this experiment is from a long time ago and no further replication experiments have been conducted, An Wuyang believes that this experiment should be genuine.

After all, ethical and moral values ​​were lacking in that era, so similar experiments went very smoothly.

When Sui Chunsheng heard that An Wuyang knew about the Hope Experiment, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I am actually a guinea pig in the Hope Experiment. I am trying my best to hold on and wait for rescue. President An is my hope."

An Wuyang understood Sui Chunsheng's meaning. Combined with what Sui Chunsheng had said earlier about "palliative care," she probably couldn't hold on for much longer.

"I don't have a specific solution for dealing with my family's problems, but I hope Mr. An can grant me one request." Sui Chunsheng looked at An Wuyang with a pleading expression.

"What is it?" An Wuyang asked in return.

Sui Chunsheng said self-deprecatingly, "Although my dad is a bastard, he is still my dad after all, and I don't want anything extreme to happen to him."

“If something extremely serious were to happen to my father, I’m worried that my mother wouldn’t be able to accept it,” Sui Chunsheng added.

“My mother is timid and even suffers from Stockholm syndrome, but she protected me from being hurt by my father since I was a child. I am sincerely grateful to my mother and I don’t want anything to happen to her,” Sui Chunsheng explained.

This is why even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes!
Family relationships are often very complex and cannot be explained by common sense. Even outsiders cannot understand them. After all, it is someone else's family relationship, so how can they empathize with it?

How many adults can truly empathize?
An Wuyang sighed, "Then there are only two options to choose from if you want to solve your family's problems."

“First, let your father participate in labor reform, receive re-education from the law and the state, and change his bad temper. He can reintegrate into society when he has changed.” An Wuyang explained.

“Secondly, have your father receive psychological intervention and treatment. Domestic abusers often have serious psychological problems. For example, you mentioned that he is suspicious and paranoid, and also has an excessive desire to control. These are all serious psychological defects,” An Wuyang suggested as her second solution.

Of course, these are just nice ways of putting it!
As for the unpleasant words...
An Wuyang didn't say it aloud because he believed that Sui Chunsheng would understand what he meant. After all, Sui Chunsheng was a lawyer, so how could he not understand these things?
Sui Chunsheng fell silent, pondering the solution proposed by An Wuyang.

She certainly understood what An Wuyang meant by the two solutions he proposed. These solutions were indeed the best approach at present, but she simply couldn't implement them.

But being safe and sound can be done easily!

After all, the resources she possessed were completely incomparable to those of An Wuyang, so what An Wuyang could do was simply impossible for Sui Chunsheng.

For example, the two solutions proposed by An Wuyang can indeed solve her family's problems, but she herself is unable to push things forward.

“I think both options are acceptable. Which option do you think is more suitable, Mr. An?” Sui Chunsheng asked in return.

Her meaning was simple: An Wuyang should use whichever plan he felt would be easier to implement, in order to avoid putting An Wuyang in a difficult position.

An Wuyang said thoughtfully, "If we provide psychological intervention for your father, he might cause some trouble in the hospital, thus creating problems."

“Personally, I think it would be more appropriate for him to undergo labor reform. After all, the environment of labor reform is more closed, and there is no channel for him to contact the outside world. No matter what trouble he causes, he can be subject to corresponding control,” An Wuyang added.

"Furthermore, if he succeeds in his labor reform, getting him out of there shouldn't be any difficulty," An Wuyang added.

This is indeed very difficult for most people, but who can blame An Wuyang for being able to find her confidant to solve the problem?

Furthermore, the Shengqing Circle is a crucial part of the interest group built by An Wuyang. Solving this problem through the Shengqing Circle would only require An Wuyang to make a single phone call.

"What does your mother do for a living?" An Wuyang pressed.

Sui Chunsheng immediately responded, "My mother is just an ordinary supermarket employee."

“When your father goes to labor reform, I’ll find your mother a new job. Our Wugengtian Group’s Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base has some relatively easy jobs. Do you think your mother would be willing to work in an area outside the main city?” An Wuyang asked. Before Sui Chunsheng could answer, An Wuyang added, “At the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base, even new employees will eventually receive a salary of no less than eight thousand yuan. After three months of probation, their take-home pay will easily exceed ten thousand yuan.”

"They also provide employee dormitories and a staff canteen, basically covering all meals and accommodation," An Wuyang added.

The Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base has a large canteen and a small canteen. If employees eat in the large canteen, it is indeed free, but if they go to the small canteen, they have to pay for it themselves.

Faced with An Wuyang's proposed salary and benefits, including room and board, Sui Chunsheng replied confidently, "My mother will definitely agree!"

"My mom works at a supermarket, and she only makes less than three thousand yuan a month!" Sui Chunsheng said frankly about her mother's low salary.

In fact, this is a true reflection of ordinary grassroots work!

In real life, ordinary jobs don't have the same reputation as those on the internet where people earn over 10,000 yuan a month.

The reason why everyone on the internet is rich is because the illusion of wealth on the internet is too crazy.

However, isn't the data from the National Bureau of Statistics quite accurate?
Taking last year's information as an example, in 2021, the total number of people paying taxes on wage income nationwide was only 7016 million, while the tax threshold was only 5,000 yuan.

So are there many rich people?

Of course there are many!
The wealthy are visible on the internet, so naturally there seem to be more of them; it's just that the poor are largely invisible on the internet.

If you earn less than 3,000 a month but are offered a new job with a monthly income of over 10,000, how should you choose, or do you still need to consider it?
"President An, I'd like to ask when you plan to send my father there for labor reform?" Sui Chunsheng inquired about the specifics.

An Wuyang smiled. "When do you want to?"

"The sooner the better?" Sui Chunsheng probed.

An Wuyang nodded, "No problem, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Sui Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't pursue the matter any further, since An Wuyang had already agreed, and asking further would make it seem like she didn't trust An Wuyang.

Just then, the waiter started serving the dishes, and the two began to taste the food at the restaurant.

Sui Chunsheng's first dish was stir-fried pea shoots. She wanted to see what a 98-yuan serving of stir-fried pea shoots tasted like and why it was worth 98 yuan.

Then they ate them one by one without saying a word!

Sui Chunsheng ate three mouthfuls of stir-fried pea shoots before stopping, exclaiming, "So delicious!"

Sui Chunsheng was quite amazed by this 98-yuan stir-fried pea shoot dish, because the fresh aroma of the pea shoots and the peanut aroma of the peanut oil were all brought out. More importantly, it was oily but not greasy, and had a refreshing feel.

Sui Chunsheng shared his observations and then asked, "President An, why can I really smell peanuts in their peanut oil?"

“I’ve eaten peanut oil before, but it just doesn’t taste like peanuts,” Sui Chunsheng added.

An Wuyang replied, "This is what I told you at the beginning. All of their oilseeds are physically pressed."

"Even if the industrial peanut oil on the market says it's pressed peanut oil, it's most likely still produced by chemical leaching. The oil produced by that method needs to go through multiple filtration processes, so where is the peanut aroma?" An Wuyang complained.

In fact, the waters here run deep, and if An Wuyang says too much, the Void Thunder might just fall.

Sui Chunsheng tasted each dish, and all of them exceeded her expectations. She suddenly felt that the high prices were justified.

However, An Wuyang did not trigger the food reward from Tongzi Ge, because he did not feel any surprise.

The main reason is that this restaurant, "Sijia Restaurant," opened as early as 1999. It is older than An Wuyang. An Wuyang has eaten at this restaurant too many times since he was a child, so how could he still feel amazed?

In the past, when they ate at home, Li Wenya would often take leftovers from Sijia Restaurant home and repackage them, thus making it seem like she had cooked at home.

After all, how can you not count as cooking if you replate it?
Dinner ended around 7 p.m.

Sui Chunsheng said somewhat awkwardly in a low voice, "President An, I don't have to go back tonight."

How could An Wuyang not understand Sui Chunsheng's meaning?
But An Wuyang refused, saying, "Go back first. I'll come back to you after I've resolved the problem."

Sui Chunsheng wanted to pay the reward first, but An Wuyang insisted on following the rules.

Besides, today is Valentine's Day, February 14th, and he's going to have a video call with Xia Yuqing later. At least he should abide by male virtues today, right?

Faced with An Wuyang's 'gentlemanly demeanor', Sui Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually just taken a gamble. She had learned about An Wuyang's situation on the internet and felt that, apart from being a womanizer, An Wuyang was actually a pretty good choice.

So Sui Chunsheng was willing to take the gamble!
Now that An Wuyang has taken the initiative to say that he wants to solve the problem first, Sui Chunsheng is indeed relieved.

"Where do you live?" An Wuyang asked. "I'll take you home."

This time, Sui Chunsheng did not refuse. She told An Wuyang the location of her apartment, and the two exchanged contact information and became WeChat friends.

An Wuyang first took Sui Chunsheng back to his rented room. He didn't go upstairs for a drink of water or to see the kittens, but left cleanly and efficiently.

On her way home, An Wuyang used the Xiaobaige app to contact Li Jiachang via voice.

Just a dozen seconds later, Li Jiachang answered the call and spoke first, "Brother, good evening."

"Where are you, kid?" An Wuyang asked.

Li Jiachang remained silent, only chuckling mischievously.

However, it is obvious where he is!
