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

Chapter 161 You all know it, but I don't? Well—oh, it's not that important.

Nan Zhuren had just returned to the office area and sat down for a short while;
While the other young assistants, consultants, or not-so-young consultants were still hesitating whether to come forward out of politeness to check on Teacher Nan;
Sudden--

Everyone received a message.

The message came from the company's work group.

[Howard: @Everyone, assemble in the conference room in five minutes.]

This news immediately diverted the attention of everyone in the office area.

"Meeting?"

Meetings are nothing unusual.

"The boss wants to call a meeting?!"

That's really strange.

……

Although Howard is the company's boss, theoretically employee number 001, and the top boss sitting in the first seat.

But since everyone joined the company, there has been a generally accepted fact—

At Yan Nuo Psychological Center, Director Weng Pingting is the one in charge.

The consulting assistants and consultants in the consulting department naturally agree with this point.

Even colleagues in the human resources and online publicity departments—yes, the center has these two departments—deeply agree.

Because all of Yannuo Center's business revolves around consulting; all work requirements are also formulated around consulting.

Meanwhile, as a senior consultant at the center, Weng Pingting also single-handedly handled the company's management system, consulting system, daily procedures, and so on.

Weng Pingting also chairs regular monthly meetings, summary meetings, emergency meetings, case sharing meetings, and so on.

In other words, Howard, as the boss, never held a meeting with anyone at the Promise Center.

And this time—

"Look, it seems that Supervisor Weng doesn't know about this meeting either."

After arriving at the conference room, the various departments quickly saw Weng Pingting with a slightly furrowed brow.

"What exactly is the boss going to talk about at this meeting?" The crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

……

Unlike Nan Zhuren, who was frequently called into the office for various forms of conversation.

For most employees at Yan Nuo Psychological Center, the boss is usually elusive.

Generally, employees only have one opportunity to have a face-to-face, one-on-one conversation with their boss when they first join the company.
After that, everyone had very little communication with the boss.

Basically, only occasionally during working hours, when Howard would "inspect" the work and wander around, would he see someone and ask, "Working, little X?"

From this perspective, it seems the boss isn't very keen on communicating with the employees.

Nan Zhuren, an employee with exceptionally high performance, is an exception.

Aside from that, everyone's impression of the boss is only when it comes to paying salaries—because Weng Pingting would emphasize that the money for paying salaries belongs to the boss.

Then.

How do the staff at Yannuo Psychological Center usually view Howard?
"Although business hasn't been great lately, the boss is always on time when it comes to paying salaries; he never delays."

This is the perspective of a typical working-class person.

"I heard the boss recently rented two more offices in the city center. There's hardly any business here, what's his reason for doing this?"

This person is well-informed.

"Wouldn't you get more business if you opened in the city center?"

"can you?"

"...Hmm, I guess so?"

"This isn't like opening a bubble tea shop. These cases either involve referrals from acquaintances or online platform traffic; what does location have to do with it?" "Then boss..."

These are a few people who, seeing that the boss hasn't arrived, are unconsciously whispering about the company's future.

“We were barely breaking even before, but now we have two more offices in the city center—we should be starting to lose money.”

The person who said this had a somber expression.

Nan Zhuren doesn't usually pay much attention to these rumors, but for a moment he felt a large amount of new information being poured into his mind.

This seems to explain many of the things that happened before.

Even so, Nan Zhuren began to feel a vague unease in his heart.

He turned to Shen Bing and asked, "Do you know what they were just talking about?"

Shen Bing looked at Nan Zhuren with some surprise: "You...know all about it?"

Nan Zhuren suddenly realized that in a small company like this with only twenty or thirty people, information flows extremely quickly.

That's because I usually focus on consulting and have other things to worry about outside of my company, so I didn't know.

Nan Zhuren looked at the group discussing important matters and noticed that Teacher Hu was among them. At that moment, Teacher Hu was stroking his thick beard with his thumb and forefinger while speaking eloquently to the young consultants and assistants with the air of a senior.

"Cough cough!"

Weng Pingting suddenly coughed.

The sound was very soft, but it was very imposing, and the office immediately fell silent.

This is also the time.

Howard opened the door and came in.

"Oh, everyone's here."

Howard's face was all smiles. Of course, it was the kind of fake smile that was obvious at a glance.

Nan Zhuren also narrowed his eyes because he noticed that Lu Jia was also behind Howard.

It's important to understand that general company affairs are unrelated to Lu Jia—this doesn't mean Lu Jia isn't important, but rather that while others are in meetings, Lu Jia, as the receptionist, must remain at her post.

If Lu Jia isn't here, it means that the Yan Nuo Center is now completely closed.

Everyone was gathered in the conference room; it was now a full-scale meeting.

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but look at Weng Pingting.

Pupils dilated, eyelids contracted—surprise and confusion. It was because they saw Lu Jia and realized this meeting was indeed very important, so important that Boss Huo had truly gathered everyone from the entire center.

[Pressing her lips together, slightly clenching her teeth—with a hint of anger.]

[Is it because they realized that even they, as the supervisor, didn't know what kind of meeting they were holding?]

At the same time, Nan Zhuren also noticed that many eyes were being cast at him.

Among them was Bald Yang, whom we hadn't seen in a long time, whose eyes revealed obvious smugness.

Does he think this meeting is to punish me? Because of what happened with Dr. Chen?

Nan Zhuren frowned.

Before Nan Zhuren could even think about it.

Just then, the boss began his opening remarks.

"Everyone, it's currently working hours, so I'd like to take this opportunity to call everyone up for a meeting. Let's get this over with quickly so we don't delay everyone from going home to rest later—we at 'Yan Nuo' would never do something like that."

The boss told a joke, and the employees naturally joined in with chuckles, like a group of fish surfacing at the sight of a fisherman's bait, bringing life back to the meeting room that had quieted down because of the boss's arrival.

The atmosphere is still relatively relaxed.

Howard noticed this deliberately created atmosphere, which made him smug.
