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

Chapter 16: Stealing Your Cases and Your Assistant (Please Read On)
Clearly, the above statement is perhaps the main purpose of this conversation.

After all, the label of "expelled from school due to an accident" for a master's student from a prestigious university is really too much to bear.

But Nan Zhuren believed that Weng Pingting definitely already knew the truth. The supervisor just wanted to see how Nan Zhuren would respond.

Nan Zhuren's answer will also affect many things later on.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Zhuren decided to tell the truth. He searched his mind for a moment and said, "During my internship, I independently took on a case of depression and misjudged her condition."

"I didn't realize she had developed smiling depression, so I mistakenly thought she had improved and was capable of living independently."

Nan Zhuren spoke in a flat tone, as if he were telling a story unrelated to himself.

"So she jumped off the building while no one was watching her. This case was an important collaborative project for the school, and I was therefore dismissed as the person primarily responsible."

Weng Pingting's gaze swept over every subtle change in Nan Zhuren's expression.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I've seen tragedies like this caused by misjudging a client's recovery status elsewhere. Many experienced counselors lose their counseling abilities and end their careers because of this. It's truly remarkable that you're still able to continue counseling today."

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and said, "Your 'active attention' is a bit too harsh."

Positive attention is a commonly used counseling technique. Simply put, it involves finding the positive aspects in the other person's words, emphasizing and affirming them to create a positive atmosphere between the counselor and the client, while also delving deeper into the topic.

Weng Pingting couldn't help but laugh at Nan Zhuren's words.

But she quickly regained her composure: "Let's get back to the main topic. You're currently in your internship, and the situation is rather complicated, so I will be your supervisor for the foreseeable future. Is that alright?"

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment: "Does that mean I need to regularly review and report my consultation process to you, and also regularly undergo your consultation evaluations?"

"That's right. Is there any problem?"

"No, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

To be honest, Nan Zhuren was somewhat surprised.

It's not a bad thing that Weng Pingting became his supervisor; on the contrary, it's a great thing.

Having a supervisor means that he has a new "mentor" after leaving the campus. At the same time, if Nan Zhuren causes trouble, Weng Pingting will theoretically bear some responsibility.

Why did Weng Pingting do this?
Nan Zhuren thought for a moment: "Then shall I first organize this visitor's information into a case study?"

Weng Pingting said, "Okay. I will also arrange a new visitor for you tomorrow. Tomorrow, you will report to me on this case and the new visitor's situation together."

Nan Zhuren's eyes lit up when he thought about the new visitors who would arrive tomorrow.

Weng Pingting nodded: "That's enough for today, let's get to work."

Nan Zhuren nodded and turned to leave.

"and many more."

Nan Zhuren paused, then turned around. Was he about to pull off a surprise attack? Was he taking advantage of this sudden lapse in concentration to uncover some secret?
Nan Zhuren looked at Weng Pingting and saw a curious face.

"You made Yang Xudao...lost control" in front of Lao Huo today. Weng Pingting chuckled softly. "This is the first time you've met Yang Xudao, right? How did you figure out that he has a crush on Lu Jia and is insecure? Just by observing him?"

Oh, that's it.

"There's nothing I can't say," Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and said, "I can tell from his interaction with Lu Jia this morning that he has some romantic feelings for Lu Jia. Once I know this, I can basically work backwards from the conclusion."

"As for feelings of inferiority and such, it's half guesswork and half a summary of experience. But which middle-aged man who has gained weight doesn't have this problem? It's always accurate when you mention it, and it always breaks down his defenses."

"Is it a reasonable deduction based on experience?" Weng Pingting nodded knowingly.

"But the fact that he 'had asked Lu Jia out before' was a bit of an unexpected discovery for me," Nan Zhuren suddenly added. "His reaction was huge. I never thought he had actually asked her out, and that he had actually been rejected, and more than once."

Weng Pingting paused: "You were able to see that step by step from the scene? How did you do it?"

"Read their expressions."

Weng Pingting's face relaxed: "I understand, go to work." "Okay."

……

The first day at work is primarily about getting familiar with the work environment and the business.

Nan Zhuren has already demonstrated considerable professional competence, so there's no need for her to become familiar with him.

As for the work environment... a psychological counseling center is only this big.

There's a reception and rest area, an office area for employees, and an office area divided into five consultation rooms with various functions. That's it.

You'll get used to it after a short walk.

Therefore, Nan Zhuren has quite a lot of free time for the rest of the day.

He leisurely whiled away the rest of his work time, then leisurely returned to his rented room and began to think about the employee dormitory that Weng Pingting had mentioned.

Then I had a good night's sleep.

the next day.

"Good morning, Teacher Xiao Nan." Lu Jia greeted the receptionist with a bright smile.

She looked at Nan Zhuren with a sense of enjoyment, as if she had appreciated a beautiful view.

"Good morning." Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and chose a more intimate form of address, "Xiao Jia."

Lu Jia's expression became increasingly one of enjoyment, and for a moment even the smell of her class seemed to fade away.

"Teacher Xiao Nan, yesterday was really thrilling." Lu Jia looked nervous. "Luckily, Teacher Xiao Nan has high professional competence."

Nan Zhuren gave a social smile: "I also want to thank you. You called Manager Weng over, right? Were you trying to get me out of this predicament?"

Lu Jia looked surprised: "Huh? How did you know?"

She even wanted to say it out loud to take credit.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment: "Yesterday I overheard everyone in the office talking about how the boss and supervisor usually arrive very late, but yesterday it seemed like they knew there was trouble ahead of them, so they came early on purpose."

"Everyone in the office only found out what happened afterward, but you knew the situation beforehand when you received the visitors, so you must have been the one who called them."

Nan Zhuren paused, then added, "Moreover, your relationship with Supervisor Weng seems to be very good, not just a normal colleague relationship."

"Wow, that's amazing! Just like Sherlock Holmes!" Lu Jia exclaimed. "Teacher Xiao Nan was able to deduce all of this using her knowledge of psychology?"

She said admiringly, "No wonder you can handle clients that even Yang Xudao couldn't manage. Don't worry, I'll make sure to arrange things well for today's clients! The comfort level of the client in the reception area also affects their choice of whether to undergo long-term counseling and treatment!"

Nan Zhuren raised the corners of her mouth by 5 degrees: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Everyone was very satisfied; the first conversation of the day brought a good mood.

But the person Nan Zhuren had his second conversation with was someone he hadn't expected.

He had just sat down in the office area when his consultant, who had a thick head of hair, handed him a folder.

"Teacher Nan, this is the visitor you will be receiving today."

My hand was shaking a little as I held the folder.

Nan Zhuren followed the hand and looked down—

Isn't this Bald Yang's consulting assistant?
