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

Chapter 162 Company Transformation
"I rarely talk about these things with you before—but I've always been grateful that you all chose our newly established 'Yannuo Psychological Center.' Many of you here are young people who have just entered the workforce and have chosen 'Yannuo' as your first stop, growing together with Yannuo;"

"There are also many veteran consultants, such as Lao Hu, Lao Yang, and Lao Zhang. I believe that since you have chosen this platform, you must trust us and have seen our strengths."

The boss acted as if he was genuinely moved, and the employees immediately followed suit, each putting on a fake smile.

The speed of the conditioned reflex is as fast as that of cattle and horses that have been trained and will automatically run when whipped or shouted.

However, Howard quickly changed the subject.

"But recently, I believe everyone has noticed that our company's performance is not very good, and there are very few visitors; even the senior consultants only have a handful of cases on hand."

“I know everyone is anxious, and I am anxious too.”

Howard spoke with such sincerity that Nan Zhuren now judged that his boss was speaking from genuine emotion.

At the same time, Nan Zhuren realized that the boss was about to get to the point.

"And the reason for holding this meeting today is to announce some good news to everyone—I have found a solution."

Howard waved his hand dramatically, as if he were a fisherman who had just discovered a fish taking the bait, and shouted loudly.

"Our company—is going to transform!"

Nan Zhuren's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he looked at Weng Pingting.

He saw an expression on Weng Pingting's face that was almost identical to his own.

Nan Zhuren took a deep breath and tried to relax to prepare herself for the potential shocks that might follow.

"As for the direction of the transformation—Teacher Nan!"

Nan Zhuren suddenly heard Howard calling her name.

Why are you calling me at this time?!

"How many long-term cases have you worked on since you joined the company?"

Nan Zhuren was naturally very familiar with this kind of thing. He did a quick mental calculation and then uttered a number.

Howard pressed further, "So what are the problems in these cases?"

Nan Zhuren frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

He thought for a moment and said, "Most of the problems from visitors are quite complex. Some cases involve overlapping issues, which are even difficult to define... Boss, if you want to ask in detail, I'll give you a report later?"

Howard pursed his lips and suddenly turned his gaze to Shen Bing, who was sitting next to Nan Zhuren.

The young consulting assistant snapped to attention and, as if by conditioned reflex, began reciting a list of cases: "Teacher Nan is currently working on one case of [depression], two cases of [relationship recovery]; she recently finished one case of [post-traumatic stress disorder], and... all of them are [relationship recovery]!"

Howard nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Professor Hu.

"Teacher Hu, what about you? Putting aside the past, what are the problems with the cases you have now?"

Teacher Hu has been in office for much longer than Nan Zhuren, so it would be unrealistic to review all the cases on the spot. Therefore, he was only asked to recall the cases he was currently working on.

Nan Zhuren blinked, seemingly realizing what Howard was trying to do.

The consultant with the handsome beard was a beat slow to react. Following Shen Bing's example, he subconsciously adopted a reporting tone, saying, "One [family counseling], one [career planning], and three [relationship recovery]..."

"Very good, where is Teacher Zhang?"

"One is about parent-child relationship, and the other is about emotional recovery."

"Teacher Yang?"

"One is social anxiety, one is intimacy anxiety, and one is marriage and family anxiety."

"Teacher Li?"

"..."

Howard went from one consultant to another who had cases on hand, and the smart ones had already realized what was going on by now.

Nan Zhuren looked at Weng Pingting again. Howard continued, "Yes, as everyone can see, the most numerous cases we have right now are related to the [emotional] category!"

"I recently had a meeting with several business owners in the industry. We found that this phenomenon is very common, especially in the psychological counseling industry, where the market for [emotional counseling] is the largest."

"In fact, many companies that simply provide 'relationship counseling' are making far more money than we are now!"

Howard has revealed his true intentions, and anyone who still doesn't understand him is basically as stupid as a dead fish.

"Boss, what do you mean?" Someone was clever enough to pass on the message to the boss.

Howard was clearly pleased, and made a gesture similar to Mr. Hu's usual chin-raising movement.

"Although we are a company specializing in psychological counseling, we have always taken on too many cases without any clear purpose."

"Now, we need to refine the market and accurately identify our targets."

"We're transforming ourselves to become—emotional counseling!"

The words fell.

Nan Zhuren subconsciously looked up and glanced around the room.

In that instant, I felt as if the information conveyed on everyone's expressions was washing over my information database like a vast ocean.

But at this moment, most people's expressions were surprisingly consistent.

……

Howard, the head of the conference room, continued.

"When I come out to work, I also hope to raise everyone's salary; if everyone can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, I will be even happier than you."

"Don't worry, the current situation of insufficient consultations and low consultation fees will be resolved soon."

"I have already contacted a professional [emotional counseling] operations team in Shanghai. They will be here next week to help us establish a brand new company structure and assist us in our transformation."

Howard looked radiant.

"During this period, everyone should be careful when taking on cases. Don't take on everything. Just focus on [emotional counseling] cases. Of course, you should still do a good job on the cases you already have."

"As for those who don't have any work to do, just treat it as a holiday at the company. I know you all like to have fun, so take this time to rest and prepare for future work."

Howard spoke with great confidence and pride.

At this point, Howard's meeting was essentially over.

Everyone applauded.

Some people are very strong, some are moderately strong, and some are perfunctory.

Nan Zhuren looked at them one by one, carefully discerning the expressions on each of their faces.

He didn't know why he did it, because the expressions on these people's faces seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Finally, his gaze returned to Weng Pingting's face.

This time, he couldn't decipher Weng Pingting's expression.

"Oh, right." Howard said as if he had suddenly remembered something.

“Recently, some family members of visitors have come to our door and caused trouble. Everyone has seen it, and the situation is very dangerous.”

"Everyone should be more mindful in the future. We all work in the psychology field, so let's try to put ourselves in other people's shoes and try not to upset them."

That's the end of that matter.

It's not very important.
