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

Chapter 15 Onboarding Interview
Nan Zhuren obediently replied, "Yes."

Weng Pingting then turned to Howard: "The situation is clear now. Yang Xudao is primarily responsible for everything that happened today. Boss, what do you think we should do?"

Howard opened his mouth.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "They are all from the consulting team, directly under you. You decide how to handle this matter."

The last glimmer of hope in Bald Yang's eyes was gone.

After hearing Howard's words, Weng Pingting nodded in satisfaction and turned around to say, "Old Yang was right about one thing just now. Our consulting center should establish rules."

The light in Bald Yang's eyes dimmed even further. He was the one who said those words before, and the boomerang-like thing was true.

"Out of consideration for the clients, the assigned counselor cannot be changed arbitrarily, so Lao Yang will continue working on the cases he has on hand." Weng Pingting adjusted her glasses. "But all the clients who have not yet started will be handed over to Teacher Xiao Nan later."

The consulting manager continued, "When new visitors come in the future, I will give priority to Xiao Nan—of course, provided that you, Xiao Nan, handle the visitors that Lao Yang has handed over first."

Nan Zhuren nodded readily: "I have absolutely no problem with it."

These are exactly what Nan Zhuren wanted.

……

With a creak, the door to the boss's office opened, and all the employees, who had been craning their necks like weasels, scurried back to their workstations.

But gazes still involuntarily followed Nan Zhuren as he led the way out, then looked at the pale-faced, bald Yang pacing back and forth, and finally at the stern-faced Weng Pingting.

The consulting manager's eyes hardened: "Get to work!"

In a flash, all eyes turned away.

"Old Yang, how did it go?" someone asked tentatively in a low voice after the leader had left.

Bald Yang was speechless, but the answer was already written on his face in the eyes of the professionals present.

This made the staff at the consulting center even more suspicious and uncertain.

"Didn't they say the new guy stole Lao Yang's order? How come it seems like Lao Yang is the one who lost out?"

"Is the leader taking sides?"

"It can't be because the new employee made a sale on their first day of work, can it?"

"There might be more to the story."

"Could it be... Oh~"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

"Someone go ask the new guy to confirm... Wait, what's he doing?"

hushed whispers rose and fell, and Nan Zhuren, who had become the focus of everyone's attention, returned to her seat—

Fall down and go to sleep.

This sense of relief only made the already bewildered crowd even more confused.

Nan Zhuren's consciousness began to sink, and he soon woke up in another place.

He entered his dream, a place called "Ferry Psychological Treatment Center".

Name: Nan Zhuren

Job Title: Trainee Psychological Counselor
Consultation duration: 1 hours
Case files: 0

Mastering Techniques: Micro-expressions and Analysis

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

[Career Development: File 1 "Case File" (0/1), and complete 1 "Psychological Techniques Advanced Training" session.]

Nan Zhuren's face lit up with joy: "The consultation time has indeed increased by one hour!"

"So, all I need to do now is continue doing counseling. I happen to have a full-fledged counselor position now, and I'll have a steady stream of clients coming to me in the future."

Bald Yang has sacrificed so much for Nan Zhuren's cause; we salute him.

"I just don't know what conditions are required for this [case study] to grow?"

Nan Zhuren looked thoughtful: "Is it necessary to completely resolve a visitor's problem to the point where it can be literally 'archived'?"

What can "psychological skills training" and "advanced psychological techniques training" offer me? Is it some kind of magical technique like "micro-expression analysis," or something else entirely...?

This dream world still holds many mysteries for Nan Zhuren.

He needs to explore it gradually.

"He's been sleeping like this ever since he left the office?"

"Correct."

"Just keep sleeping?"

An employee nearby glanced at Weng Pingting's expression and shrugged: "Yes."

Seeing Weng Pingting sleeping soundly on the desk, she silently raised her hand.

"bump!"

Nan Zhuren, who was fast asleep on the table, suddenly woke up with a start: "What's wrong? What's wrong... Oh."

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.

I had a great first day at work, but my supervisor caught me sleeping during work hours. What should I do?
Weng Pingting's eyes swept over Nan Zhuren's dark circles: "First day of work, were you too excited last night to sleep well?"

Nan Zhuren blinked: "...Yes."

Weng Pingting said, "And then, because the visitor had used up too much mental energy, he couldn't help but fall asleep?"

Nan Zhuren nodded: "...That's right."

Weng Pingting nodded: "Alright, come with me."

"it is good."

Nan Zhuren is destined to be the focus of the entire consultation center today.

His conversation with Weng Pingting sparked another round of whispers after they left, but Nan Zhuren was unaware of it.

Weng Pingting led him to her office and sat down by herself.

"I am the supervisor in charge of psychological counseling."

Weng Pingting said, "We should have talked about this during your interview. But since the boss avoided me at the time, it's not too late to make up for it now."

"Don't be nervous, just treat this as a casual chat. I'd also like to get to know my employees."

Nan Zhuren nodded: "Okay."

He skillfully sat down in a relaxed yet relatively upright posture.

He understood that when a leader said "don't be nervous" in this situation, it was just to put his subordinates at ease so that they could more easily uncover what they wanted.

Whoever believes it is a fool.

Weng Pingting smiled and didn't insist, naturally starting a conversation.

“The work management of our counselors here is quite flexible,” Weng Pingting emphasized. “It’s really flexible. Because psychological counseling is very mentally taxing, I once saw a counselor who did four counseling sessions in one morning and then vomited as soon as he stepped out. So I pay more attention to the ‘maintenance’ of counselors.”

"As long as the quality of consultations is high, it's okay to take appropriate breaks during other work hours." This was to reassure Nan Zhuren about going to sleep.

Nan Zhuren nodded: "Consultation is always the top priority."

Weng Pingting smiled, looked Nan Zhuren up and down, and continued, "You just graduated from school, right? Have you solved your accommodation problem?"

The problem has started to extend into daily life.

"solved."

How long is your commute to the company?

"half an hour."

"The company has employee dormitories, which are located in the nearby residential area, just a ten-minute walk away. Employees can apply for them if needed, as they are an employee benefit."

"Thank you, supervisor. I'll look into it right away."

"Are you getting used to the transition from school to work?"

"pretty good."

Weng Pingting nodded in satisfaction, her eyes flashing: "Speaking of school, Teacher Xiao Nan's resume is quite eventful. Could you tell me more about your school experience?"

"For example—how did someone as capable as you get expelled from school and forced to become a consulting assistant at Yan Nuo Center?"
