Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 86 With this face of mine, can you still tell if I've gained charm?

Nan Zhuren just deliberately led his thoughts in an extreme direction.

This was to verify the newly acquired skill, "Emotional Rebalancing".

The effect is very gratifying.

Normal counselors have emotional management skills, but there is an upper limit to the degree of this management.

Normally, Nan Zhuren would need to take deep breaths for at least 30 to 60 seconds to calm down after being so excited—and that would only be possible if he could immediately cut off his thoughts and be alone without any external interference.

At the same time, if the normal emotional value is "0" and the extreme emotional value is "5", then after management, it can at most return to "2", and cannot even reach "1".

But now, Nan Zhuren only needs to flick a switch in his mind to immediately bring his emotions back to "0".

“That way, I can empathize with clients without restraint during future consultations,” Nan Zhuren said self-deprecatingly, “and become a true dumping ground for negative emotions.”

However, this is not without its price.

In that instant, Nan Zhuren felt a sense of exhaustion.

Not much, roughly equivalent to the feeling of playing a game with complete focus for an hour.

If we were to quantify it, it would be equivalent to Nan Zhuren currently having two attributes: [Energy Value] and [Sanity Value]. This skill consumes energy to restore sanity.

It's completely within acceptable limits.

It's a good deal for mental health counselors.

Nan Zhuren nodded: "Very good."

……

After receiving the reward he wanted, Nan Zhuren woke up from his dream.

I looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"Teacher Nan, the supervisor wants to see you," Shen Bing said, then noticed something strange in Nan Zhuren's eyes. "...What's wrong?"

"No, I just feel like every time I wake up, it's like you're about to tell me to go see my supervisor or boss."

Nan Zhuren's expression turned somber: "So, just how many times have they seen me sleeping?"

Shen Bing thought something was wrong, but when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Hey, what's the big deal? As long as we get good grades, we can do anything."

As he spoke, Shen Bing pointed to the consultants who were typing, playing games, or watching variety shows featuring women with long legs, and lowered his voice: "Look, they do all sorts of things, what harm could it do for you to take a nap?"

Nan Zhuren nodded, the unease that had just arisen from slacking off immediately dissipating.

Then, he suddenly realized that in addition to [Emotional Adjustment - Beginner], he had also gained an improvement of [Charm (Temperament) +1].

Then Nan Zhuren suddenly became serious.

"Hey soldier, come a little closer."

Shen Bing was puzzled, but still did as he was told: "What's wrong?"

"Have you noticed any changes in me today?"

"...You're talking like you're talking about my girlfriend. What changes?"

"Have you gotten any more handsome?"

Shen Bing gave a ridiculous look: "That sounds more like my girlfriend... No, Teacher Nan, are you tired of counseling again, so you've asked me to help you recover your emotions?"

Nan Zhuren remained silent, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

Shen Bing smiled and shook his head: "If you really want to ask, I recommend you ask Lu Jia, or that female student you know at Jiang University. If all else fails, you can ask Supervisor Weng."

Nan Zhuren remained silent, his gaze deep and intense, but it gradually shifted towards Shen Bing's back. Shen Bing blinked, his expression hardening.

As if realizing something, he explained, "What I mean is, Mr. Nan, you're so handsome, and Lu Jia is a girl, so she'll definitely notice the changes in you more..."

Nan Zhuren remained motionless, still gazing intently behind Shen Bing with a deep look.

Shen Bing's expression turned despairing, but he forced himself to say, "Then... if you need to talk to someone to calm yourself down, it's better to talk to Supervisor Weng, that's what I mean..."

Nan Zhuren remained silent.

After a silence of about ten seconds, until Shen Bing's forehead began to be slightly sweaty.

Nan Zhuren finally stood up and patted Shen Bing on the shoulder: "My neck is just a little uncomfortable, why are you so worried?"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Weng Pingting's office.

When Shen Bing turned around, there was nothing behind him. There was neither Lu Jia nor Weng Pingting, whom he had imagined.

From afar, Nan Zhuren's voice could be heard.

"Now that I've recovered emotionally, I can do better counseling later~"

Pleasure.

Before Shen Bing could react, Nan Zhuren knocked on the door of the supervisor's office and stepped inside with a click.

……

Is there anything different about you today?

Since it was Weng Pingting who called Nan Zhuren over, Weng Pingting was already waiting inside.

But upon seeing Nan Zhuren, the first thing Weng Pingting said was something Nan Zhuren didn't expect.

【No, you can actually tell?】

Nan Zhuren habitually activated her "Micro-expression Analysis" and began reading Weng Pingting's article.

Nan Zhuren breathed a slight sigh of relief when he didn't see those things that had appeared on Lu Jia, Xia Tian, ​​or even Chen Ting's faces.

"Maybe it's because people are in high spirits when they have something good to do?" Nan Zhuren pulled out a chair and sat down as if they were old friends. "After all, we finally solved Chen Ting's problem."

Weng Pingting smiled upon hearing this, and was also happy for what Nan Zhuren had said.

After all, she had initially supported Nan Zhuren in helping Chen Ting in addition to providing consultations.

In this particular incident, Nan Zhuren did almost flawlessly.

Helping Chen Ting break free from family control, cutting off stressors, and most importantly, ensuring that Chen Ting did not suffer any substantial harm.

The situations of clients are ever-changing, and sometimes it's not simply a matter of a counselor being experienced or possessing a wide range of techniques to handle a case better. At least regarding Chen Ting's case, Weng Pingting wouldn't dare say she could handle it better than Nan Zhuren.

Thinking of this, Weng Pingting suddenly sighed softly, "If only my client had come to me sooner, just like Chen Ting. Before this happened, she never even thought of asking for help; even after being hurt, it took her a long time to finally muster the will to fight back."

Weng Pingting said, "The best psychological counseling is prevention, not post-event remedy."

Nan Zhuren pursed her lips and gave a reassuring smile.

He deeply empathized with Weng Pingting's feelings at that moment.

Seeing that Weng Pingting was not in a good mood, Nan Zhuren took the initiative to change the subject: "However, there is one thing I don't quite understand: Wang An was dealt with too quickly. In my original plan, even if the video and materials were widely circulated, the best-case scenario would be that he was suspended or dismissed, rather than being brought to justice immediately..."

Upon hearing this, Weng Pingting showed a surprised expression: "You didn't know?"

Nan Zhuren was even more surprised: "What should I know?"
