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

Chapter 159 might cause some trouble... Is there a way to turn it into an asset?
The commotion inside the consultation room sent a chill down the spines of everyone already on edge outside.

"Teacher Nan!"

Teacher Hu rushed in immediately, followed closely by Weng Pingting.

Then they saw the consultation room in complete disarray.

Inside was a woman who was frightened and began to cry; and two men, one standing and one lying on the ground.

Knowing she couldn't help, Lu Jia turned and ran to the office area to call for help when Teacher Hu opened the door. Soon, several young assistants and consultants followed her over.

So, right behind Teacher Hu and Weng Pingting, they saw the chaotic scene inside the consultation room.

"..."

Nan Zhuren paused for a moment, then looked at Teacher Hu and Weng Pingting, his expression softening for a fleeting instant.

This gentleness was fleeting, quickly turning into seriousness, even severity.

Then, Nan Zhuren, who was standing, pointed to Dr. Chen, who was lying on the ground groaning.

"Give me a hand?"

……

Nan Zhuren said calmly, "The situation was indeed quite critical at the time."

"I think I was a bit lacking in emotional intelligence at the time, and what I said clearly angered Dr. Chen, which provoked him to raise his fist and try to hit me."

At this point, Nan Zhuren was both relieved and troubled: "I'm younger than him and reacted faster, so I instinctively dodged backward."

"He was unwilling to give up, so he stood up and put his back foot on the sofa, as if he wanted to use this to leap over and punch me again."

"But he underestimated the height of the coffee table in front of him, so he tripped and fell to the ground. This movement caused everything on the table to fall to the ground, which startled his wife, who started screaming."

"In short, the scene was indeed quite chaotic. It was quite frightening to hear from outside the door."

Looking at Weng Pingting, Lu Jia, and Teacher Hu in front of me.

Nan Zhuren explained quietly.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone because of my mistake," he said.

Faced with Nan Zhuren's apology, Teacher Hu shrugged, and Lu Jia waved her hands repeatedly.

People safe is good.

As for "causing trouble" and such...

Weng Pingting sighed: "This matter is indeed troublesome. It's hard to say to Lao Huo, but you do have to take some responsibility. After all... at the company level, there has to be an explanation."

This statement is not very humane.

But Nan Zhuren expressed his understanding: "I just hope it didn't cause too much trouble."

After all, it was his fault that the visitor's family members were brought over, and a physical altercation occurred in the workplace, resulting in damage to company property.

This means that no other visitors were disturbed during their consultations, and Dr. Chen and his wife were people that Nan Zhuren had been in contact with before he joined the company.

Otherwise, no matter how Howard is punished, Nan Zhuren will have to accept it.

……

Punishment is the boss's business; the consulting manager still wants to comfort the subordinate.

Seeing the rare expression on Nan Zhuren's face, it was still self-blame.

Weng Pingting joked to lighten the mood, "Our center has similar contingency plans. This is also an opportunity to test whether the plan is feasible. You've made a contribution." Teacher Hu also laughed, "Maybe we'll all have to thank you for this in the future."

……

It sounds like a joke, but it's also serious.

Psychological counselors often encounter "medical disputes" to some extent: in addition to the family members of the clients, there are also some clients with violent paranoia or antisocial personality disorder, who may cause physical harm to the psychological counselor.

Therefore, the center prepares corresponding emergency plans to intervene in a timely manner and protect counselors when similar situations occur.

Of course, in addition to counselors, these contingency plans are sometimes used to prevent visitors from harming themselves.

For example, in this case, Dr. Chen, who harmed counselor Nan Zhuren, was stopped immediately and taken away.

……

"Should we call the police?" Weng Pingting suddenly asked.

Nan Zhuren shook his head: "There's no need. I've observed Dr. Chen's expression, and similar situations shouldn't happen again."

Weng Pingting suddenly said, "Are you sure this isn't a wrong judgment made under the influence of excessive self-blame?"

Nan Zhuren paused, deliberately making a gesture of reminiscing and thinking.

After waiting for three or four breaths, he explained, "No, that punch was the result of his anger reaching its limit; in other words, it was the result of a momentary impulse, not a premeditated revenge."

After glancing at Weng Pingting's expression, Nan Zhuren added, "It was also because my words at the time lacked emotional intelligence. If I had handled it more appropriately, this accident might not have happened..."

While Nan Zhuren was speaking, Weng Pingting kept a close eye on his expression.

After confirming that she had found what she wanted, she slowly said, "This is your business, and you should make your own decision."

The implication is that Nan Zhuren's choice is respected.

However, being experienced, she added, "But if you have the ability, you'd better keep some evidence. You might be able to use it if some trouble arises in the future that no one wants to see."

"Evidence?"

Nan Zhuren pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "There are no security cameras in the consultation room, and I didn't record anything..."

Lu Jia immediately raised her hand: "There are security cameras in the reception hall. They should have captured footage of those two people being escorted out after they came in. That Dr. Chen even punched a security guard; he was really fierce—will this be of any use?"

Weng Pingting turned around and gestured to Lu Jia, saying "Well done," and added, "Whether it's useful or not, it's better to be prepared."

……

At this point, the incident caused by Dr. Chen has been largely resolved.

There are only two things that Nan Zhuren needs to pay attention to.

The first point concerns the present situation—although Dr. Chen has left this time, and Nan Zhuren did not lie to Weng Pingting and the others, there was no intention to deliberately harm Nan Zhuren after Dr. Chen ceased to exist.

But there was one thing Nan Zhuren didn't tell Weng Pingting, which was another possibility he saw in Dr. Chen—paranoia.

This time, Dr. Chen did not cause any harm to Nan Zhuren.

However, Dr. Chen's aggression towards Nan Zhuren did not disappear.

In a sense, things might have been better if Nan Zhuren had taken that punch squarely; physical violence can awaken the conscience of "highly moral people," making them feel guilty, like "I was just angry, but I didn't really mean to hurt him," thus preventing future targeting and attacks.

This is also a kind of "a gentleman can be deceived by his principles".
