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

Chapter 308 Nerve Reflex Speed... What's the Use?

Dream Psychology Office.

Nan Zhuren looked at the notification that appeared before him after a long time.

【月度目标：1个月内完成“心理咨询”10小时（10/10），完成后进行1次“心理能力培训”。】

[This month's goals have been achieved]

You have one [Psychological Skills Training] session pending.

Nan Zhuren took a deep breath.

In order not to occupy the already limited counseling resources within the university, Nan Zhuren stopped going to the psychological counseling center at Jiangda University; at the same time, Weng Pingting's studio had not yet opened, so she could not arrange clients for Nan Zhuren.

This has led to a significant decrease in the frequency of consultations for Nan Zhuren.

Almost half a month has passed, and he has finally managed to accumulate 10 hours of psychological counseling after talking with Xu Pengcheng during the day.

"Although strictly speaking this is not psychological counseling, this kind of conversation that includes information collection, analysis, and intervention can also be considered as part of the task."

"If I want to achieve my monthly goals more often this month, I'll probably have to focus on this high school. I'll get the students talking to me more often, in the form of psychological counseling..."

High school students also really need counseling.

"If that's the case, the data collection process will be very slow, which is a real blow to my senior brother..."

Nan Zhuren pondered.

Anyway, let's collect this reward first.

I wonder what the reward will be this month?
You have received [psychological skills training]

[Neural reaction speed +1]

Nan Zhuren blinked.

What does this mean?
Neural reaction speed... While it is indeed a key area of ​​basic psychological research, and can be considered a topic related to psychology majors, it is not without its limitations.

However, compared to the previous categories such as [emotional soothing ability], [charisma (temperament)], and [emotional infectiousness], the difference is quite significant.

How does neural reaction speed help in psychological counseling?
How can we react more quickly and escape in time when a client with antisocial personality disorder or paranoid personality disorder suddenly becomes aggressive?
As for this high school project... in case I anger the coach and a fight breaks out, I can jump back earlier to protect my senior in front of me.

Nan Zhuren fell into deep thought.

But no matter what, having something is better than having nothing.

With this in mind, Nan Zhuren prepared to begin her work.

He walked to the bookshelf and took down the postgraduate entrance exam reference book that he had recorded using the "Memory Palace - Beginner" method.

Honestly, although Nan Zhuren works during the day, the 7-8 hours he spends sleeping at night studying in the Dream Psychology office, where there are no cell phones or computer networks, is not necessarily less efficient than the students preparing for exams during the day.

It's like putting yourself in a dark room.

Nan Zhuren definitely needs to study and prepare for the exam properly.

If I remember correctly, he was directly recommended for postgraduate studies at Jiang University. This is the first time he's memorized the exam materials, so he needs to take it seriously.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and then picked up her English vocabulary book.

“[abandon], [give up]…”

"Wait a minute, you were the first one listed in the college entrance exam, how come you're still the first one listed in the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"Isn't the outline going to be changed at all?"
-
The next day, at Jiangyi Middle School. A discreet black sedan was parked at the school gate.

Unlike the last time Nan Zhuren and his group came, Vice Principal Ma arrived early at the entrance with the school's Dean of Students to show his respect.

Upon seeing the car arrive, the Dean of Students, who was also overweight and had thinning hair but was slightly thinner and had more hair than Vice Principal Ma, hurriedly ran forward to open the car door.

Chang Ming stepped out of the open car door and waved repeatedly at the dean of students. His own hand was on the door handle, and he looked like he was about to open the door from the inside as well.

"No need, no need," Chang Ming said. "Thank you."

The head of the teaching department, with a humble smile on his face, glanced into the car and was taken aback.

He then immediately jogged to the other side of the car and opened the door.

Then another person slowly stepped out from inside.

Vice Principal Ma stepped forward with a smile and called out the titles of the two men.

"Director Chang, Director Zhang. It's been a long time."

"Are you here today still for Li Mingchen?" The flattery was handled by the Dean of Students, and Vice Principal Ma smiled with a restrained yet appropriate expression of concern. "I heard that an expert spoke with him a few days ago. I wonder how he is doing?"

Chang Ming remained expressionless, seemingly uninterested in anything. However, after hearing Vice Principal Ma's question, he forced a social expression and jokingly changed the subject: "Weren't those two experts setting up some kind of system here with you, Principal Ma? Didn't they tell you?"

Vice Principal Ma gave an awkward smile.

He was able to arrive at the door early to greet us, which must have been because he had been notified in advance that someone from the Health Commission was coming.

But he didn't know why the National Health Commission came or what their specific purpose was.

Just then, another Director Zhang, who had gotten out of the car with him, suddenly spoke up:

"Old Ma, where's your Principal Li?"

Vice Principal Ma felt a sense of relief, and the topic seemed to return to a familiar rhythm: "Unfortunately, Principal Li is on a business trip to Beidu."

"So now you're in charge," Director Zhang said jokingly. "There's not much to do today, just some additional information to get a better understanding of the situation. After all, you know we received a new report. This matter was almost over, but now there's another step, which we actually find quite troublesome..."

Chang Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

Vice Principal Ma feigned empathy: "Director Zhang and Director Chang, you've worked so hard, you've gone to so much trouble for the children of our school."

Director Zhang waved his hand and continued, "Let's keep things quick today, start and finish quickly. After all, high school students have a heavy workload, and we don't want to disrupt their classes. We need to go to the office to find that student Li's coach first..."

Vice Principal Ma feigned sudden realization: "Oh, you need to find Coach Wang."

Director Zhang nodded and looked at Chang Ming: "Director Chang, what do you think? Let's finish this quickly, we still have other things to do back home, right?"

Chang Ming pondered for a moment: "Let's meet with the two experts who made the report first, and then go find the student coaches together."

This proposal, however, was met with opposition.

"Is this really necessary? Are we really supposed to go find them?"

Director Zhang came up and started poking at Chang Ming: "They're at school right now, right? Just give them a notice to come over, why make such a fuss?"

"It's only because their report raised the issues that we need them here now. But while we say they're needed to 'cooperate,' we don't really need them."

Director Zhang argued confidently, "We just need to do it ourselves."
