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

Chapter 169 A junior with a really nice voice is coming over soon?
"Huang Xin has no classes this morning, which is quite common among senior master's students."

"But his supervisor, Lin Lilin, is quite pushy; Huang Xin has to go to their research group's office at eight o'clock in the morning to organize materials and such, and I heard that Lin Lilin is also there."

"Then at nine o'clock, he arranged for several experimental subjects to do experiments to collect data, and he had to stay in the lab until about twelve o'clock. During this time, he would probably be with one of his junior classmates who had a very big nose."

"As for the afternoon, I don't know..."

Nan Zhuren blinked as Xia Tian spoke in great detail.

This was a bit unexpected.

Watching the little girl fold her hands as if she had just finished a report, making a gesture that said, "Waiting for the next instruction, but it would be even better if you could praise me in the meantime."

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but ask, "I only asked you for help yesterday afternoon, right? How did you manage to gather so much information in such a short time?"

Although Nan Zhuren didn't say it aloud, his expression clearly showed that he was praising him.

At the same time, the kind of self-congratulatory explanation that follows will hit the nail on the head regarding summer's itch.

The little girl couldn't help but raise her chin three degrees—to be honest, the same action performed by different people really does have a completely different feel.

"It's very simple. Many of the student jobs and part-time positions here come from the School of Psychology. Just ask around under the pretense of 'being curious and wanting to audit classes,' and you can find out their class schedules for each year."

“If blocking people during class doesn’t work, then I’ll just crash a lab. There’s a notice board at the entrance of the Psychology Department’s lab building. You told me before that Huang Xin has some experiments going on, so I just need to look at the notice board to easily find out which lab he’s in and I can also find out his contact information.”

"Then we can come back and ask the students in the School of Psychology to see which time period the lab was borrowed. By comparing this with the information we collected before, we can find out Huang Xin's general whereabouts."

Summer speaks very fast, but she couldn't help pausing for a moment when she got to this part.

"Well... of course, in the end, out of caution, I did cheat a little."

Nan Zhuren asked very cooperatively, "Cheating?"

Summer nodded, her ears turning slightly red, like a half-ripe peach.

“I noted down the phone number for his lab’s subject recruitment and went directly to schedule an experiment as a subject. I deliberately asked him if he was available for experiments at several different times, and we chatted for a bit... That’s how I found out he was being pushed by his supervisor early in the morning.”

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and lean back.

Although she knew this young girl had a wild way of doing things and was trustworthy, she never expected her to be so unconventional and trustworthy.

Based on stereotypes about law students, it seems that this kind of information gathering should indeed be something they excel at—at least better than psychology students.

However, considering the clear-headed and somewhat naive mindset of college students, Xia Tian's ability to act seems a bit too strong.

Could it be due to family education?

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but ask, "Xia Tian, ​​what does your family do?"

"police."

Understood.

No wonder she came here to study the law.

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but exclaim, "That's amazing!"

Summer tilted her head, her ears turning pink, like ripe peaches.

……

Huang Xin shook his head, like a tattered scarecrow in the wind, and walked heavily into the laboratory.

He looked haggard, and as a mental health professional, he seemed to be in dire need of psychological intervention.

But for people with a mental health background, especially those with a master's degree in psychology, this kind of mental state seems to be the norm.

After all, who doesn't go crazy while pursuing a master's degree? "Senior brother."

Seeing Huang Xin's small eyes, Liu Pan, the big-nosed junior who had been waiting in the lab for a long time, sighed.

Then, he handed Huang Xin a cup of coffee.

Their relationship is fairly good.

"Senior, did the teacher scold you again?"

Huang Xin took the coffee and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's alright, it's alright, the teacher didn't say much to me." Huang Xin sighed. "It's just that I've had too much work lately, and I'm a bit tired. And, I guess the teacher is worried too..."

The junior brother with the big nose looked at Huang Xin, opened his mouth, and seemed to know that what he was about to say would likely be rejected.

But he couldn't help but say, "Senior, if the clinic has too much data, I can actually help you with some of it..."

Huang Xin shifted slightly. He had his back to his junior brother with the big nose, and if Nan Zhuren were there, he could easily see that Huang Xin's face showed a hint of excitement at that moment.

But soon, this feeling of excitement was overshadowed by fear.

He quickly composed himself, turned around, and shook his head, saying, "No, I can handle the clinic's paperwork myself. Any more and your family will object... But there's a consultation and supervision conference in Jiangdu Province coming up soon, and the venue is at our school. You can participate in the preparations..."

“I have no interest in the supervisory meeting.”

The junior brother with the big nose seemed to have known the answer all along, and quickly replied, "Senior brother, could you help me make an appointment with Nan Zhuren?"

Huang Xin blinked, about to say something, when he suddenly realized: "Are you using the 'concession principle' on me?"

The "concession principle" is a negotiation technique within the field of social psychology. Its working principle is that when an individual hopes the other party will accept a "small request," they can first make a "large request" that is unlikely to be accepted. This way, when the other party refuses the "large request," they will experience a sense of unease and guilt, making it more likely that the "small request" will be accepted.

At this point, the junior brother with the big nose was already showing signs of putting his knowledge to practical use.

Unfortunately, it seemed quite crude in operation, and it was immediately obvious.

"No," the big-nosed junior brother explained, "I just really hope I can help you, senior brother."

The sound was very soft and hesitant.

Then he immediately quickened his pace: "But senior brother, I am now more confident in dealing with Nan Zhuren. I already know what methods he used to cause us trouble, and this can also solve the problem..."

Huang Xin took a few deep breaths. After enduring the pressure for half a morning, his mental state was already very unstable.

The skin around his eyes and nose twitched violently a few times, as if he were about to get angry, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

Then his voice revealed a sense of fatigue: "Don't always try to find things to do for yourself. The teacher will handle Nan Zhuren's problem personally."

After saying that, Huang Xin pointed to the computer screen, trying to divert his junior's attention, and said, "Let's collect the experimental data first. You and I are co-first authors of this paper, and maybe we can get it submitted to a core journal."

Besides trying to distract his junior from the affairs of the mental health clinic, Huang Xin also wanted to use these words to shift his own focus and help relieve his emotions.

"...Speaking of which, the girl who's going to do the experiment later is a junior student, and she has a really nice voice."

"A junior with a nice voice?"

Liu Pan, with his big nose, didn't care too much after being rejected by Huang Xin, since this kind of thing had happened many times before.

His attention was quickly diverted: "How beautiful it is?"

Huang Xin chuckled, revealing an expression that said, "This kid is easy to handle."
