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

Chapter 310 Nan Zhuren didn't care about all that.

Facing the female coach who was running out with slightly unsteady steps but full of excitement.

Chonghui glanced at it and found it a little strange, but then didn't think much of it.

Having worked for so long and seen so many strange people, his sensitivity to unusual situations has actually decreased.

Nan Zhuren is different.

It was as if he had an auto-targeting feature; once his gaze was fixed on the female coach, he couldn't look away.

[Uneven gait, staggering while walking, and a slight feeling of weakness—this is caused by suddenly relaxing after a prolonged period of tension.]

[Shoulders lowered, deep breaths accompanied by rapid chest heaving, forehead covered in cold sweat.]

At the same time, there was an unconscious smile that lingered on his face for a long time—

It's a feeling of relief, a kind of relief akin to "surviving a disaster"...

What kind of person would feel fortunate?

Thinking back to the phone call Chang Ming had just given him, asking him to go to the sports coaching staff office next to the playground to have a talk with the coach.

The female teacher, dressed in sportswear and looking like a physical education teacher, ran out of the office building next door with a look of relief on her face.

What a coincidence!

No—even if it's really such a coincidence, we can't let it go so easily!
"Hello~"

Chonghui suddenly felt the space beside him disappear as his junior brother rushed towards the female teacher not far away. That incredibly soft "hello" made Chonghui squint and get goosebumps.

Not far away, Coach Wang was walking quickly outside. After her nerves, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly relaxed, she felt a little dazed.

She was in a state similar to a "frightened bird," and would subconsciously react to any stimulus directed at her, even a simple greeting, far beyond her usual reaction.

"Ah... hello! What's wrong?" Even though Nan Zhuren was three meters away from her, and even though Nan Zhuren's words weren't directed at her, she had already stopped far away and turned around.

I saw through Nan Zhuren.

Then, as if finding a sycamore tree to roost in, the frightened bird suddenly felt calm and peaceful.

Something seemed to be vibrating in Coach Wang's pocket; it appeared to be his phone, which was on silent mode.

But she ignored it.

"This...teacher? I've never seen you before...is there something you need?"

……

Inside the office, Vice Principal Ma shook his head, put down his phone, and showed Chang Ming the "Not Connected" message on the screen with some regret.

"Maybe Teacher Wang is riding her bike. I'll try calling a few more times in a bit..."

At this moment, Vice Principal Ma secretly applauded Coach Wang's quick thinking.

"So fast?" Chang Ming's tone was flat.

Vice Principal Ma chuckled dryly: "There's a bike shed right downstairs in this building. Most of our PE teachers also commute by electric scooter. The other PE teachers are probably already home by now."

Director Zhang stood up, gestured to Vice Principal Ma to "please calm down," and then turned to Chang Ming.

"Old Chang, how about we call it a day? We can figure out the autographs later. They've already left, we can't..."

dong dong dong-

There was a sudden knock on the door of the small conference room.

Then the faint sound of arguing could be heard.

"Principal Ma is inside, so I won't go in. You guys..."

First came the familiar female voice.

"No, we're not actually here to see Principal Ma, but to see the two directors of the Health Commission who are here today—they're inside, you know?"

Then came the voice of a man that was both somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

"Huh?" The woman's voice suddenly rose, "Didn't you say..."

Vice Principal Ma's expression also changed. Chang Ming quickly realized, "Are you Teacher Nan, Teacher Chong, and Teacher Wang? Please come in!"

The arguing outside the door suddenly fell silent.

The conference room door suddenly opened, and from front to back were Nan Zhuren, Coach Wang who looked uneasy, and Chonghui.

Vice Principal Ma chuckled dryly, "Little Wang is actually back? Why didn't you answer my call just now?"

Coach Wang remained silent.

Nan Zhuren's gaze swept into the room, instantly taking in the expressions of the only three people present.

The three people held opposing views.

Chang Ming was alone on one side, while Vice Principal Ma and another unfamiliar guy were on the other.

Something's not right. If the Health Commission sends two people, it means...

Nan Zhuren still remembered Chang Ming's reaction during the last psychological assessment. Even if Director Chang was in a neutral position, he was at least biased towards the two of them.

So the faction division is now very clear.

Nan Zhuren's thoughts became clearer.

On the other side, Director Zhang stood up, snatched his report from Chang Ming's hand, and preemptively spoke:
"You're the experts who evaluated Li Mingchen, right? Why did it take you so long to arrive?"

"We've already spoken on this side, and you two will need to cooperate by signing the agreement."

The wording was polite enough, but the tone was extremely offensive. There was a kind of awkwardness unique to respectable people.

Nan Zhuren, however, had ample experience in dealing with such situations. He looked Director Zhang up and down:

"Who are you?"

"My surname is Zhang." I'm too lazy to tell you my given name.

"Director Zhang?" Nan Zhuren nodded. If you don't take my word for it, don't blame me. "On a side note—I wonder how many Directors Zhang there are in your unit?"

"I'm the only one here, so what?"

Then Nan Zhuren would be even more experienced.

He took a sudden step forward, abruptly closing the distance between them, and then forcefully pressed down on Director Zhang's shoulder to prevent the latter from leaning back due to unease.

The two of them suddenly found themselves in an intimate position, as if they were whispering secrets.

But what Nan Zhuren said next was anything but intimate.

He lowered his voice: "It would be easy if the National Health Commission only had one 'Director Zhang'."

“When we went to find Li Mingchen before, there was a couple who had arrived earlier, one tall and one short, who said they were recommended by ‘Director Zhang’.”

"Something's not right about them."

Although she lowered her voice, it was hard to say whether others could hear her in this enclosed room.

However, at least it can express an attitude.

Feeling the shoulders pressed down by his hands tighten suddenly, Nan Zhuren knew that he had expressed the right attitude.

So he slowly raised his head and looked directly at Director Zhang: "I just suddenly remembered something like this, maybe I remembered it wrong."

"What do you think, Director Zhang?"

Some things can't be said openly.

Especially Chang Ming.

But... Nan Zhuren is different.

Director Zhang, who had been talking a lot in the room, suddenly fell silent.

His expression shifted between light and dark, and he no longer looked at Vice Principal Ma.
