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

Chapter 285 Stealing Projects?

When you come to work, you naturally need to understand the project details beforehand.

According to Weng Pingting, the students that Nan Zhuren and his team were going to evaluate had already undergone several official evaluations before their arrival. It was because they disagreed with the official evaluation results and repeatedly petitioned and appealed that the "social expert evaluation" process was initiated.

Nan Zhuren had already obtained some information about this student through Weng Pingting.

In addition to the official assessment results, there are also basic living conditions and family information.

After getting off the plane, Chonghui had already been working overtime to read the materials.

At this moment, Nan Zhuren nodded in affirmation and said, "That's also what I saw in the information."

As he spoke, Chonghui tugged at Nan Zhuren, pulling him back slightly from the front, signaling him not to rush. Then, turning to Chang Ming, he tentatively asked, "Are you one of your people?"

Chang Ming shook his head after hearing Chong Hui's question.

Judging from the expression on the person in charge's face, he was just as surprised as Nan Zhuren and the others, and didn't even know who was inside.

Chonghui couldn't possibly be unaware of this. But he still deliberately asked the question, the subtext being that he was actually signaling Changming, as the official representative, to go forward and confirm the situation inside.

After all, he and Nan Zhuren were the ones who were invited to help.

Sure enough, Chang Ming hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward from the back of the line.

"Knock knock knock—" They knocked directly on the door; this residential complex didn't even have a doorbell.

The arguing inside stopped abruptly.

Then came the sound of thumping footsteps.

"Who?"

"Hello, I am Chang Ming from the Health Commission. I have been here before."

The door clicked open, revealing the tired face of a woman who looked to be around forty years old.

"Director Chang." The woman had clearly met Chang Ming before. Her tone was stiff, but still polite. "What brings you here?"

"Didn't we have an appointment this afternoon to evaluate Xiao Li? I brought an expert with me."

"An expert?" To everyone's surprise, the woman exclaimed, "Haven't they already arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhuren, Chonghui, and Changming's expressions all changed.

At the same time, the two men inside the room seemed to have heard the noise and also appeared.

……

The two people in the room, one tall and one short, were dressed quite similarly, both wearing polo shirts and casual suits.

This is a very conservative and conventional outfit, which is also quite in line with the stereotypical image of a "teacher" in the eyes of ordinary people.

Faced with this situation, the two were initially somewhat flustered.

But the shorter man quickly calmed down after seeing the situation at the door.

The tall boy quickly asked, "Teacher Yang, what should we do?"

The short man shook his head: "Don't panic."

As he spoke, he waved the assessment report in his hand: "We have this."

Tall guy: "...???"

Seeing his assistant's bewildered expression, the short man said with exasperation, "Our report, the format and procedures, are all in accordance with the standards, right?"

Yes, but—

“But we haven’t obtained a commission to conduct the assessment,” the shorter man interjected. “Without this ‘start,’ no matter how standard the subsequent procedures are, it’s useless—you mean to say that, right?”

The tall man nodded repeatedly.

"Idiot!" the short man hissed.

As mentioned before, the project I'm currently working on is the kind that can earn me favors but doesn't generate much profit. Ironically, those who want to earn favors aren't qualified to take on projects; those who are qualified don't need to earn favors.

The tall and short men were the kind of people who wanted to gain favors but weren't qualified to take on projects. But they were also a little better than the others.

Although they are not qualified to take on projects, they are capable of finding out the details of the projects.

They also have the ability to take an unconventional approach, getting on the train first and buying the ticket later.

At that moment, the short man waved the newly completed assessment report in his hand: "This is what we just wrote. What's in it?"

The tall man said, "That student's illness is—"

The shorter man interrupted, "That's not the point. What conclusion can be drawn from this?"

The tall man's eyes suddenly lit up: "The school bears no responsibility for that student's fall?"

The short man gave him a look that suggested he was easy to teach: "With this report, things will be easier for everyone. Even if the Health Commission hadn't initially invited us, they wouldn't mind going along with the mistake later..."

At the same time, even if this little scheme fails, at least it can get rid of today's embarrassing situation.

The short teacher and the tall assistant thought this.

But suddenly, Changming was led inside by his parents.

This also brought the people behind him into the sight of the two uninvited guests.

"This is?!!"

The short and tall men, who had initially relaxed, suddenly tensed up like zombies.

"Teacher Yang...is that Nan Zhuren? The Nan Zhuren from the supervision conference a few days ago?"

"……Seems to be."

"Could it be a case of mistaken identity... or maybe they just look alike?"

"...It's impossible for another person to look so much like that face."

"Teacher Yang, what should we do?"

The short man didn't speak, but the confidence he had just felt had vanished without a trace, and he was even more flustered than when he saw Chang Ming.

He forced himself to say, "Nan Zhuren... is only good at counseling, which we can't match; but what we have now is psychological assessment, which not only requires professional skills, but also interpersonal skills..."

……

On the other side, after a brief exchange with the student's parents, Chang Ming already knew what had happened.

—Two unqualified consultants who weren't taking on any projects came to provide consultations without my consent.

This is a very serious matter.

but.

Before anyone else could speak, the shorter man preemptively handed over his business card.

"Hello Director Chang, we were introduced by Director Zhang. We may not have communicated with you properly beforehand, so there's been a bit of a misunderstanding."

He displayed remarkable composure and a very professional smile.

If "needing personal connections but lacking the ability to take on projects" is considered one level, then "having the ability to take on projects but not needing personal connections" is another level.

The tall man and the short man were somewhere in between.

Those who can take unconventional approaches and try to overtake others by taking shortcuts are naturally not without ability.

At the very least, they will know the project details, the specific process, and how to ultimately achieve the goal of "getting on the train first and buying the ticket later".

Therefore, he still had some confidence when facing Chang Ming.

At the same time, mentioning "Director Zhang" and introducing his contact person was a calculated move, taking advantage of the fact that public officials would not publicly disclose internal conflicts and exploiting the other party's "sensible" nature to gain an opportunity.

really.

"I see," Chang Ming said casually.
