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

Chapter 87 So-called Business Psychological Counseling

"That little girl you know, the one surnamed Xia. Her family is quite well-off. The way they reacted after finding out their daughter had a teacher like that in her class and that they were in contact with her every day..."

Weng Pingting said meaningfully, "You really don't know?"

"You mean summer?" Nan Zhuren was genuinely surprised this time.

Weng Pingting nodded: "That's the name."

The beautiful manager stared intently at Nan Zhuren, unusually losing control of her expression.

After taking in the details on Nan Zhuren's face, she said with a teasing smile, "But since you don't know yet, I won't tell you any more."

Nan Zhuren blinked.

This was a casual digression, but Weng Pingting quickly steered the conversation back on track: "The main reason I asked you to come over is to sign a new contract with you."

As she spoke, Weng Pingting slapped a piece of paper in front of Nan Zhuren.

……

Although Nan Zhuren has accomplished a great deal, received so many visitors, made a name for himself at the exchange meeting, and even resolved a difficult case.

She is beginning to gain attention as "the top counselor after Weng Pingting at Yan Nuo Psychological Counseling Center".

However, since he has been employed for less than two months, he is currently only an "intern psychological counselor".

In terms of job level and salary, they belong to the lowest end of the consultant class.

"However, your performance has been really good lately. Howard and I discussed it and decided to promote you to a permanent position ahead of schedule!"

Weng Pingting's eyes were smiling. Although she said it was a "discussion," Nan Zhuren felt that she was just simply "informing" the boss.

But what does it matter? Nan Zhuren was even happier.

Becoming a full-time employee means a higher base salary and higher commission for consulting services.

Who would complain about having too much money?

"If I get a permanent position, will I be able to get more consulting work?" Nan Zhuren immediately pressed his advantage, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He has a good grasp of the appropriate level of discretion.

Meanwhile, Weng Pingting happened to be in a good mood.

Upon hearing this, Weng Pingting simply chuckled and pointed at Nan Zhuren with her slender finger, then shook her head regretfully: "Actually, you already have more consultations on hand than some veteran consultants. How could we not let someone with such talent work?"

"But our center is indeed newly established and doesn't have many resources at hand."

“The schedule we’ve given you is already at its limit. If we schedule any more clients for you, the other counselors will start to complain.”

Nan Zhuren nodded in acceptance of this statement.

He was aware of the state of Yan Nuo Psychological Center.

Moreover, as a superior, Weng Pingting has been very considerate; one could even describe her care for Nan Zhuren as that of a "mentor" in the workplace.

Nan Zhuren was naturally too embarrassed to ask for anything more.

But Nan Zhuren suddenly thought for a moment and said, "When I do joint projects with Jiangda, could you arrange for me to go to Jiangda's psychological counseling center to provide counseling for students?"

This question caught Weng Pingting off guard: "What are you going there for? There's no money for counseling at the school, and can your body handle it?"

Weng Pingting's expression turned suspicious the next second: "You're not going to see that female student surnamed Xia, are you?"

[I did this to increase my consultation time and gain experience!]

Nan Zhuren muttered to himself, then said, "I've been learning new techniques recently and want to practice more."

Weng Pingting stared at Nan Zhuren for two seconds, then shook her head: "You still have the mindset of a student. Back in school, our teachers often had us do free consultations to practice our skills, but nobody does that anymore after we start working..."

"If you really want to go, then I'm happy that my subordinates are so ambitious and eager to improve themselves. But..."

Weng Pingting looked at Nan Zhuren and said seriously, "You can't interfere with your normal work at Yan Nuo Center, understand?"

Consultation from Yan Nuo Center should be the top priority; after all, we're just working people. "Of course!" Nan Zhuren readily agreed.

With that assurance in hand, Weng Pingting waved her hand: "I'll talk to Jiangda University. You can check the recent consultation schedule and then contact the teachers there. By the way, do you have any consultations later today?"

Nan Zhuren glanced at his watch and nodded: "There will be one in about forty minutes."

Weng Pingting pointed to the door: "Howard seems to have something to discuss with you too, you should go quickly. Be mindful of your time, don't miss your consultation later."

As expected of you, Sister Pingting.

Nan Zhuren raised an eyebrow.

But what did the boss want to talk to me about?

……

"I heard that you sent a teacher to jail in order to become this visitor?"

Upon seeing Nan Zhuren enter, Howard lit a cigarette and, amidst the swirling smoke, inquired about Nan Zhuren's recent situation.

"And the professor who got him in was from the law school?"

Nan Zhuren observed Howard's expression.

The smile is on the lips, but it's a prolonged social smile and doesn't necessarily indicate happiness.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, she looked troubled; she even pursed her lips when she saw me come in.

Are you angry with me?

Nan Zhuren became wary; the newcomer seemed to have ill intentions... No, wait, am I the one who's here?
That's all, it means the same thing.

Nan Zhuren began to try to figure out Howard's intentions and organize her thoughts.

“Yes, Chen Ting has PTSD.” Nan Zhuren observed Howard and, considering that he wasn’t a professional, explained, “It’s post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Howard's previously slightly furrowed brows became deeply furrowed, and he remained silent.

So Nan Zhuren continued to explain: "This kind of thing is like being hurt by someone in the past, leaving a psychological shadow. The most effective way to heal is to kill the person who hurt her, and then slowly repair the wound."

Nan Zhuren used an infinitely simplified term, specifically to deal with laymen.

Howard maintained a serious expression, but his "deeply furrowed" brows finally softened into a "slightly furrowed" look.

This time he understood.

But the story doesn't end there.

“Although I told you to go to Jiangda and do whatever you wanted, you managed to get a teacher in there, and a law school teacher at that.”

"It was still a bit too much."

At this point, Howard's smile faded somewhat: "It has instantly soured the relationship with Jiangda University."

Nan Zhuren remained silent.

Howard and Weng Pingting's priorities immediately became apparent.

But Nan Zhuren knew that this was just a prelude to getting down to business.

"And besides," Howard's expression turned completely blank this time, "do you remember why I sent you there?"

"Maintain customer relationships!"

"But I heard that the case you're handling just finished its last consultation and didn't renew the fee?"

Retain customers and continue to generate economic benefits.

This is what's really important for Howard.
