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

Chapter 234 Nan Zhuren: I want a stage big enough

"Speaking of which, I heard from Liu Pan that your company is going to transform, so you and Teacher Weng are going to be changing jobs?"

Huang Xin's tone was tinged with envy, but even more so with curiosity: "What arrangements has Teacher Weng made for you? Did he say anything about how to... Hey, Zhu Ren?"

In response to Huang Xin's words.

Nan Zhuren remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything.

He was more concerned about what was happening on Weng Pingting's side.

He seemed to vaguely sense something.

“Sister Pingting, this photo should be crucial evidence, right? Can we use it?” Nan Zhuren suddenly asked.

Weng Pingting came to her senses, thought for a moment, and said, "It can be used."

"Although these illegally taken photos cannot be used as direct evidence, they can certainly be used as materials to get the authorities involved. Then, with the help of my teacher and my connections, even if Lin Lilin wanted to use his connections to intervene, he wouldn't have a chance."

Weng Pingting said confidently, "Our relationship is above his!"

Upon hearing this conclusion, Huang Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For someone in his situation, this was definitely good news.

His future is bright and promising!
Nan Zhuren was thinking: Speaking of which, when and why did Weng Pingting's teacher enter the room?

Nan Zhuren didn't know.

However, thinking about it, a teacher who can cultivate a student like Weng Pingting who has such a strong sense of professional responsibility and ethics must also be a role model.

To be honest, Weng Pingting got involved to protect herself, and her teacher was brought in because Weng Pingting had swayed him there...

Nan Zhuren suddenly fell silent for a moment, then turned to Weng Pingting and said, "Sister Pingting, is there any possibility of something unexpected happening here? For example, after you reported it, Lin Lilin got wind of it, or because the procedures took too long, there was a gap in the process, which allowed Lin Lilin to seize some opportunity..."

The young counselor seemed unable to finish speaking in one breath.

Weng Pingting raised her eyebrows, looked Nan Zhuren up and down carefully, and said slowly, "What are you worried about?"

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment: "First of all, I'm worried about whether we can completely crush Lin Lilin this time, along with his psychological clinic."

Weng Pingting understood Nan Zhuren's persistence very well.

She patiently explained, "In a few days, Jiang will be hosting a 'China Psychological Industry Supervision Conference.' It will invite qualified counselors and other prominent psychologists from across the country. The president and several directors of the Chinese Psychological Society will also be there, including my teacher. By submitting the report at this opportunity, the speed and intensity of the process will exceed your expectations. Lin Lilin won't have a chance."

That sounds very plausible.

Nan Zhuren continued, "Furthermore, I've recently started to think about something involuntarily—"

"So, things like Chen Jie and Li Minglu's happen in our school. How many more are there in other parts of Jiangdu? Or even in a wider area?"

Weng Pingting narrowed her eyes.

Nan Zhuren continued, "This kind of thing is considered a scandal, right? Scandals will definitely be suppressed and their impact reduced. But... I don't want to just deal with Lin Lilin personally. I also want... to make situations like Chen Jie's and Li Minglu's happen as rarely as possible in the future."

Why is our industry so chaotic? On the one hand, it's because it's so profitable, so there's a mix of good and bad; on the other hand, it's because things always involve deep-seated issues and are always suppressed, which makes it impossible to regulate certain things.

"If we can use Lin Lilin's case as a legal guideline, could it serve as a benchmark? At the very least, it would serve as a deterrent to others who might want to do something similar."

Nan Zhuren's eyes grew brighter as he spoke: "The incident with Wang An last time gave me an idea. Sister Pingting, didn't you say that the China Psychological Supervision Conference in a few days is a big event? Could we take advantage of that? If something similar happens, it's hard to say about other places, but Jiangdu, and even the whole of Jiang Province, will be affected for the next few years..."

……

Weng Pingting abruptly interrupted Nan Zhuren: "Stop!"

She practically shouted the word, so her voice was very loud. Even if Nan Zhuren's thoughts were perfectly coherent at that moment, they were interrupted by this.

Weng Pingting looked at Nan Zhuren and took a deep breath.

In all of my interactions with Nan Zhuren so far, her expression has never been as serious as it is now.

"Nan Zhuren, what I'm about to tell you is very important."

She reverted to referring to Nan Zhuren by her full name.

"First of all, as a senior in psychology, let me tell you that the development of psychology in China is extremely difficult. A steady and pragmatic approach, taking one step at a time, is the most reasonable and prudent way. You want to make a big fuss now and clean up the local chaos, but—have you considered from a more macro perspective that this is more likely to set back the level of psychology development in Jiangdu by several years?"

"Making such a big scandal like this could very well lead to stricter government policies to put pressure on the mental health counseling industry, and make local residents even more afraid to talk about mental health counseling."

"It's important to understand that Chinese people have a sense of shame about psychological counseling. It took many years for our predecessors to build a relatively peaceful understanding, guiding Chinese people to view psychological counseling correctly and to be brave enough to seek help when they have mental health problems."

“The situation we face now is completely different from Wang An’s. After Wang An’s exposure, will others be afraid to study law, afraid to go to university, or even deprive their children of the opportunity to study? Absolutely not!”

“But psychological counseling is different,” Weng Pingting said. “Many clients may lose the opportunity to receive help because of this.”

Her expression was serious, her tone stern, and the air even seemed tense.

Huang Xin slowly leaned back, distancing himself from Nan Zhuren and Weng Pingting. He realized that the current topic was no longer suitable for him to participate in, and if he could, he would even like to leave the room.

……

Nan Zhuren paused for a moment.

What Weng Pingting said was not only correct, but also very accurate.

Psychological counseling is indeed a precarious industry.

For many years, the industry has been plagued by chaos and lack of regulation. There are naturally many complex factors at play, but one of the most important reasons is its widespread adoption.

For the sake of popularizing psychological counseling, for the development of the discipline, for the future of the industry, and for the prosperity of the future in a few years or decades, many current contradictions can be ignored.

but--

Nan Zhuren suddenly said, "Isn't the psychological counseling industry developed precisely to help others?"

Weng Pingting was taken aback.

"The psychological counseling industry, which originally developed to help people, is now going to temporarily abandon helping people in order to continue its development?"

“I do have a more micro perspective, while Sister Pingting’s perspective is certainly more macro. I also know that from a practical standpoint, the two will indeed conflict to some extent.”

"But I don't think one of these two has to be given up or one has to compromise for the other."

Nan Zhuren suddenly laughed: "I'll do my thing, and you all do yours. We're all doing good deeds, developing the industry, and helping visitors, aren't we? I'll make a big deal out of it, and you can guide the impact of that big deal in a positive direction. Everyone should do their job and not slack off. Isn't that the best way?"

"And ah..."

Nan Zhuren stood up casually, took the phone with the photo from Weng Pingting's somewhat astonished gaze, and then clicked send to save it to his own phone.

"I feel that, given our position, we don't have much right to make this decision. Perhaps I could go to someone else and get a more definitive and clearer answer from them..."

Weng Pingting was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

"Who are you going to find?"

　We've been waiting.
