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

Chapter 150 Shen Bing: I Feel It Too
With light steps, Shen Bing glanced in the direction of Nan Zhuren.

He sensed something was wrong.

As we all know, when a visually peaceful, bland, and mediocre environment suddenly has an outstanding presence that stands out from the crowd, it will inevitably attract people's attention without them even realizing it.

In the past, at Yan Nuo Consulting Center, this person was usually Lu Jia. Lu Jia's presence motivated newly graduated consulting assistants and young consultants to go to work. They would get up early just to say "Good morning" to Lu Jia.

—It would be even better if this "Good morning" was said to just myself.

Occasionally, the person who attracts attention is Weng Pingting; although supervisors have a natural intimidation over their subordinates, this intimidation is even more effective when combined with a beautiful face, outstanding temperament, policies that show consideration for subordinates, and actions that frequently advocate for the welfare of subordinates.

Even if Weng Pingting often scolds people, she is still good enough to gain their favor.

—Sometimes even more than Lu Jia.

There were times when the assistants would exchange inappropriate remarks, such as, "Manager Weng, she's old enough to be my mother."

However, this situation changed subtly after Nan Zhuren appeared.

Subjectively, people can change their views on certain things through education, personal morality, and even trauma.

However, no matter how subjectively things change, as long as people can think, they cannot deny the objective value of certain things.

For example, even the most indifferent person will have to admit that "money has a high status," "money plays a big role," "most people like money," and "it would be great if I had money at some point."

This is an objective fact.

The existence of Nan Zhuren is, in some sense, a "fact".

Therefore, when he came to Yan Nuo Psychological Center, even if he did nothing, he easily replaced Lu Jia and Weng Pingting, and naturally became the outstanding one who stood out from the crowd and attracted everyone's attention.

This situation is actually quite abnormal.

Because Weng Pingting and Lu Jia are of the opposite sex.

Nan Zhuren is of the same sex.

At first, the people in the office thought it was just that their aesthetic sense had been suddenly impacted, and they were just a little uncomfortable, and that they would get used to it after a while.

However, sometime last month, people suddenly noticed that Nan Zhuren's charm had actually increased, showing signs of becoming more and more attractive.

This is somewhat alarming.

This sense of unease becomes even more pronounced when people chat privately and discover that everyone's opinions are aligned.

Some people wondered if it was some kind of mass hysteria, while others began to doubt themselves and even sought supervision and peer counseling.

Shen Bing, however, was different from everyone else; he did not experience this kind of fear.

His attention was not merely passively drawn to Nan Zhuren.

He was also very proactive.

After all, Nan Zhuren could bring him bonuses and a share of the profits.

At the same time, Shen Bing's enthusiasm also stemmed from another reason. He felt that although Nan Zhuren was capable in many aspects, he had one other bad habit.

—When I came out to work, I didn't put money first.

This may be a common problem among those who have just graduated from school or those who are academics with a strong sense of professional ethics.

Shen Bing felt obligated to correct Teacher Nan's bad habit.

In that case, Teacher Nan would be a perfect superior.

Therefore, when Nan Zhuren's face appears in an area that can be seen, Shen Bing's gaze can always lock onto Nan Zhuren 0.5 seconds in advance, and then he will be the first to rush up to her as a consulting assistant.

Even faster than Lu Jia.

Such as now.

……

"Teacher Nan?!"

Shen Bing now understands Nan Zhuren quite well. At this time in the past, Nan Zhuren would usually take a nap with her head on the table. Especially after finishing a consultation, she needed sleep to nourish her brain and restore her energy.

But today, Nan Zhuren has actually woken up!
At that moment, the young counselor was frowning, flipping through something on a tablet. "Ms. Nan, what is this document? Should I record it into the file?"

heard asking.

Nan Zhuren turned and glanced at Shen Bing.

[His steps were light and quick, and the corners of his mouth were constantly turned up in a slight smile.]

I'm in a good mood, and even a little smug.

[This is a good starting state.]

……

"Teacher Nan?"

Shen Bing received no response, so he asked Nan Zhuren another question out of curiosity.

He felt that something seemed off about Nan Zhuren's condition.

Although Nan Zhuren is young and has some minor flaws that a working person shouldn't have, his professional competence is widely recognized.

This professional competence includes a very important trait—emotional management, or emotional stability.

In daily life, Nan Zhuren rarely experiences emotional fluctuations.

But it's different now.

“It’s not important information…it’s a private matter,” Nan Zhuren said.

His voice was somewhat hoarse: "Brother Soldier, do you remember any of the rumors about me?"

"...Huh? Rumors?"

"Yes, there's a rumor that I was expelled from Jiangnan University when I was a graduate student there."

On Nan Zhuren's desk, there were paper materials he had compiled from Liu Lin's Psychological Center. The computer on the desk was playing the official website of Jiang University, and his mobile phone was also open, with the screen labeled "Teacher" on it.

He looked deep in thought, but he was actually gathering his emotions.

For some reason, Shen Bing felt a restlessness stirring within him.

Nan Zhuren glanced at him.

Hmm, his smugness and joy have diminished.

"Yes, I've heard of it."

Nan Zhuren glanced at Shen Bing: "The rumors are true."

"...Ah." That was the only reaction Shen Bing could make for the moment.

“When I went back to Jiangda University a few days ago, I ran into some of my former teachers and classmates,” Nan Zhuren said slowly. “I found that people I used to know were now rejecting me, my former resources had been transferred to others, and even my teachers were not the people I had imagined.”

Nan Zhuren spoke in a very flat tone, as if he were simply stating a fact.

In such situations, generally speaking, the other person will either feel sympathy and regret, or feel a sense of schadenfreude thinking, "You have such moments too," but will offer only superficial social greetings.

Unless they are very, very, very good friends, you won't truly feel empathy in your heart.

Shen Bing suddenly felt even more irritable.

“Most importantly,” Nan Zhuren clenched his fists, “I saw that they were quite unserious about the clients and the consultations.”

Shen Bing took a deep breath.

Her nostrils twitched, and she pursed her lips, trying to control her emotions.

The pride and joy vanished completely.

Slight anger.
