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

Chapter 137 I know ethics, I have a conscience, but life...

"Teacher Hu, what did you and Teacher Nan go out to do the other day?"

Are there any special cases?

"Could it be that Teacher Hu... went to work off-site with Teacher Nan? That won't do..."

Yan Nuo Psychological Center, office area.

Teacher Hu's hard-soled leather shoes made a soft "tap-tap" sound as they stepped on the tiles.

Trusting in the professional competence of his colleagues, he kept a straight face and did not answer any of their questions, lest he give away any clues and reveal the real answer.

After spending a short time with Nan Zhuren, he became almost PTSD-like in his wariness of questions he didn't want to answer.

Fortunately, I didn't expect to get any answers from my colleagues' questions. It was more like a joke, or a way to have fun and recharge after consulting with them.

Tap tap tap—Teacher Hu continued walking single-mindedly until he approached his goal.

Even when he's sleeping on his desk, this young consultant still manages to attract a significant amount of attention in the office.

Teacher Hu subconsciously touched her well-maintained chin.

At this point, two days had passed since he and Nan Zhuren went to Liu Lin's psychological clinic.

During this period, although Teacher Hu appeared calm on the surface, he was actually filled with anxiety.

So he went to find Nan Zhuren.

What about Nan Zhuren's condition?

Looking at the person sprawled out on the desk in front of him, Teacher Hu gritted his teeth:

"This guy... he can actually sleep, and he's sleeping so soundly!"

With a quick glance, Teacher Hu found Shen Bing standing to the side.

"Has Teacher Nan received many inquiries these past few days?"

The consulting assistant blinked, wondering when Teacher Hu and Nan Zhuren's relationship had improved, as they had even started to care about each other's daily work.

However, considering their previous outings together, something must have happened that he didn't know about. Although Shen Bing was somewhat troubled about what had happened between them, he thought for a moment and then answered:
"There's one today, but not the past two days. Professor Hu, you know the center hasn't been doing so well lately..."

"So you're saying he's been very free these past two days?"

"...That's not entirely true. Professor Nan has also been organizing materials."

Ha, you can fool outsiders, but we're all colleagues, who doesn't know who?

Teacher Hu took a deep breath: You're sleeping at work without even consulting with me? Paid rest is a privilege reserved for consultants who have done a good job!
"Teacher Nan, Teacher Nan?"

"Teacher Nan... wake up..."

"Nan Zhuren!"

The office area was already filled with curious glances, and now they were all drawn to it.

The young consultant opened his eyes sleepily, and the first thing he saw was a handsome full beard.

"Oh, it's Teacher Hu. What's up?"

"...Come with me for a moment."

With a stern face, Ms. Hu, as usual, found an empty consultation room.

Close the door and start private chat mode.

Then, Nan Zhuren saw that Teacher Hu's tense expression suddenly relaxed. Although he still maintained a seemingly calm expression, his breathing rate became noticeably short and rapid.

Teacher Hu said in a low voice, "There has been no movement in the past two days."

Nan Zhuren blinked: "What kind of commotion do you hope for?"

Teacher Hu couldn't hold back any longer. She wanted to shout but forcibly suppressed her voice: "What do you think? The other day you encountered your visitor and tried to take her away by force. Do you know what the definition of this behavior is in our industry? Not to mention that you were using a fake identity and pretending to be a visitor. It's even stranger than the usual strange behavior!"

"We're lucky we weren't fired by the boss within two days!"

Teacher Hu is just telling the truth.

The market for psychological counseling is huge, but the circle is very small. The owners of various counseling centers and clinics generally have good personal relationships, and everyone works together to make money.

But Nan Zhuren's act of posing as a visitor that day, followed by his revelation that he had been discovered by the receptionist, seemed too much like some kind of underhanded business tactic.

Not to mention that Nan Zhuren used every trick in the book to eventually take Zhang Lu away from the psychological clinic.

Teacher Hu's anger was palpable: "Do you know what this is like? It's like—a clumsy amateur who, because of his own lack of counseling skills, caused the client to switch counseling platforms, and then came to his door to pester him relentlessly!"

"Weren't you going to deal with your teacher and that counseling clinic? Can't you even tolerate this?" Teacher Hu's definition of Nan Zhuren's behavior is completely in line with the perspective of a third party.

If this kind of thing gets out, even if it's just a rumor, it's absolutely enough to cause a consultant's social death within the industry.

However, Nan Zhuren's expression was matter-of-fact: "I think it's worth it. If I had left that day, my client might have taken the medication that very day. You know how addictive prescription psychiatric drugs are, especially since this psychological clinic was already using medication beyond the prescribed dosage."

"So what? It's not like it's beyond repair. Just put in a little more effort and give her a few more consultations..."

Teacher Hu started off confidently, but as she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

He wanted to get angry, but looking at Nan Zhuren's matter-of-fact expression and eyes, the flames in his heart gradually died down.

After a while.

"Forget it, it's done."

Teacher Hu sighed and changed the subject: "Even if your behavior is normal, the way Liu Lin Psychological Clinic responded is very abnormal, don't you think? That day, with such a big commotion, they could contact your teacher with one phone call, and your teacher could contact our boss with one phone call. None of us would have gotten away with it. But it's been two days, and there's still no word from them!"

It feels like having a knife hanging over your head, right?
It really hurts.

Although Nan Zhuren didn't particularly care, he could understand how Teacher Hu felt at that moment, whether from the perspective of a normal person or from the perspective of a counselor.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment, and finally softened his tone: "This matter is my fault for making you take unnecessary risks."

Teacher Hu waved his hand: "There's no need. If all else fails, I can switch to public speaking. Besides, I have connections in other first-tier cities. I came here because of Supervisor Weng and wanted to leverage her network. I haven't come away empty-handed."

Nan Zhuren exclaimed, "You are indeed frank."

This carefree attitude impressed Nan Zhuren, who realized that she had made the right choice in asking Teacher Hu for help.

But soon, he noticed that Teacher Hu seemed to have something he wanted to say but couldn't.

Sure enough, Teacher Hu then said somewhat hesitantly, "I told Supervisor Weng about this—the whole story."

Were you worried about being fired by your boss, so you went to your supervisor?

Is it because you think that if something happens, Weng Pingting can be your support?
"so?"

"So, since Supervisor Weng is looking for you now, I wanted to let you know first." Teacher Hu's eyes darted around. "I haven't made any embellishments, I haven't tried to shift the blame—really. I..."

"I believe you."

Nan Zhuren blinked and put his hand on Teacher Hu's shoulder.

"I understand, I'll go find her right away."

His tone was very calm, which surprised Teacher Hu.

He observed Nan Zhuren's expression and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that none of the things he was worried about were present.

"Sometimes I really don't know why you're so confident... You've even been able to sleep in at work these past two days, while I've already started looking for another job."

……

Nan Zhuren fell asleep because he discovered something very strange.

【月度目标：1个月内完成“心理咨询”10小时（9/10），完成后进行1次“心理能力培训”。】

When Mr. Chen first came to our home, it was (7/10), and after completing one consultation, it was (8/10).

After visiting Liu Lin's psychological clinic, the number became (9/10).

So, does that mean 'being consulted' is actually considered 'completing psychological counseling'?

Nan Zhuren fell into deep thought.

If that's the case, and the financial situation allows, wouldn't it be possible to continuously seek counselor advice and use that as an excuse to frantically complete tasks?
Being a client is much easier than being a therapist...

Of course, this situation does not apply to Nan Zhuren now.

While thinking about this, Nan Zhuren knocked on the door of Weng Pingting's office.

"Enter."

Weng Pingting's voice came from behind the door.

Nan Zhuren opened the door with practiced ease and saw Weng Pingting sitting behind her desk, looking at documents.

Nan Zhuren walked over with practiced ease and sat down opposite Weng Pingting.

Several documents were laid out in front of the consulting manager.

Nan Zhuren glanced at it briefly; it was all information about visitors.
