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

Chapter 160 Sister Pingting's Grandeur

Conversely, if the initial impulse is released, but the release does not cause the imagined harm, then...

In that case, such hostility might actually take root.

Then it sprouts and grows in the dark, waiting to be watered.

Therefore, Nan Zhuren can almost certainly conclude that Dr. Chen will definitely take further action.

At that time, my troubles will definitely be greater than today.

This is the brilliance of Lin Lilin's "using a borrowed knife to kill" tactic.

First, the ideal scenario. If Dr. Chen's self-cultivation skills are insufficient, he might actually be able to resolve Nan Zhuren's issues physically within the consultation room, completely eliminating this unsettling factor.

Secondly, there's the current situation. Although Dr. Chen didn't solve the problem once and for all, he can still cause Nan Zhuren a continuous stream of trouble. This will constantly drain Nan Zhuren's energy, preventing him from paying attention to Jiang University's affairs—and Nan Zhuren can only passively accept it.

Besides this, there is a third one.

This third point, which was also Weng Pingting's initial judgment, is a judgment based on psychology.

Only those who have a deep understanding of psychology can confidently perform psychological calculations.

—If Nan Zhuren truly suffered from trauma, then even a brief conversation with Dr. Chen and his wife would have been enough to allow him to recreate and relive the traumatic experience, thus psychologically crippling him.

What countermeasures does Nan Zhuren have in response to this?

……

"Right now, do you want to go to Jiang University and deal with Lin Lilin even more?"

The question exploded in Nan Zhuren's ears, and the young counselor realized that he had involuntarily revealed a thoughtful expression.

He looked up at Weng Pingting, who had asked the question.

Nan Zhuren knew that her momentary lapse in concentration was enough for a seasoned psychologist to predict her thoughts, so she nodded without any attempt to hide it.

"Yes, when faced with a problem, a better approach than passively dealing with it is to directly address the person who caused it."

After hearing this.

Weng Pingting glanced at Nan Zhuren, her eyes revealing a look that said, "Just as I expected."

But instead of refuting it immediately, she frowned and actually followed Nan Zhuren's line of thought, appearing to be seriously considering it.

Unfortunately, after a few breaths, Weng Pingting still shook her head.

"Your current situation makes it even more unwise for you to go to Jiangda University. It's a dangerous place for you, and your current mindset will make you overlook some obvious dangers."

"I stand by my judgment. From now on, you must clock in diligently during work hours."

However, Weng Pingting has been thinking for so long, so it's definitely not just about these things.

"Of course, Lin Lilin has gone a bit too far this time. He used such a despicable underhanded tactic, which is not only targeting you, but also our 'Yan Nuo Consulting Center' and me, who is in charge of 'Yan Nuo Consulting Center'."

With a wave of her hand, Weng Pingting declared confidently, "What makes you think I can set up a new consulting center on my own? Just wait until I give him a few instructions, and he'll be in big trouble!"

Nan Zhuren blinked.

He sighed inwardly.

Weng Pingting's actions were somewhat intended to distract Nan Zhuren.

Something like, "Look, I've already taught him a lesson, so you don't need to deal with him yourself anymore."

However, her intention was good; she did this in the hope of protecting Nan Zhuren.

This also means that Weng Pingting intends to use her own power to help Nan Zhuren take on the subsequent tasks of dealing with Dr. Chen and even Lin Lilin.

"..."

Perhaps because he had been analyzing Weng Pingting's thoughts for too long, Nan Zhuren's expression didn't reflect what the female manager wanted to see. Weng Pingting quickly patted Nan Zhuren's shoulder again; she seemed a little worried about letting Nan Zhuren think alone for too long.

The consulting manager said earnestly:
"This matter is beyond your comprehension; don't worry about it, it's useless. You need to consider other issues—"

"—For example, after you caused 'trouble' for the center, how do you think Old Huo will punish you?"

……

Psychology is the study of human beings.

Humans are also extremely complex.

Many people think that psychology is "mind reading", but this "mind reading" can actually be explained scientifically.

All scientific research is essentially about "summarizing" and "predicting".

Those mind-reading abilities that say, "I know what you're thinking."

Actually, it means, "I've seen you react like that before, so I know what you're thinking."

Or, "I've seen other people react like you are now in the past, so I know what you're like."

Or, "I've seen you and others show similar reactions before. Once I gather more information and narrow down the possibilities, I'll be able to figure out what you're thinking."

Overall, it's a summary of experience.

At this moment, Howard, standing in front of Nan Zhuren, was beginning to move beyond Nan Zhuren's "summary" and was heading in the direction of "prediction."

Nan Zhuren originally thought that Howard would definitely impose some punishment on Dr. Chen for his visit.

However, Howard simply patted Nan Zhuren on the shoulder and asked, "Nan, are you alright?"

"……No."

"That's good. This whole thing was an undeserved disaster. Don't worry, everything will be alright."

Nan Zhuren blinked and nodded.

Howard then gave a somewhat embarrassed look: "I heard your supervisor suggested calling the police? What do you think?"

"No."

"It's right not to report it." Howard slammed his hand on the table. "It's better to avoid trouble. After all, as a parent, it's great that you understand, Xiao Nan."

"I know you've been wronged. I'll give you a few days off to rest. There won't be any problems at the company, so don't worry!"

Not right.

Nine out of ten something is wrong.

Just like when Howard encountered Nan Zhuren in a fit of rage outside Weng Pingting's office, he managed to suppress his anger.

Howard's reactions then and now both exceed Nan Zhuren's past "summaries" of Howard and are completely inconsistent with the behavioral template that Nan Zhuren established for Howard.

The question is—why?
Could it be because Nan Zhuren has good performance?

That's not quite right. There's a limit to the capabilities of psychological counseling. No matter how well Nan Zhuren does, he's not the kind of top salesman who can support an entire company on his own.

Someone with Mr. Hu's level of ability might not be able to match Nan Zhuren's performance on their own, but two senior consultants together would definitely be enough.

Moreover, there's Weng Pingting above them.

So why is Howard being so lenient with himself these past two days?
……

This question didn't give Nan Zhuren much to think about.
