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

Chapter 366 This is the taste

The so-called "bottom line" is something that should not be crossed and can be used as a warning.

"It's understandable for parents to argue about their different educational philosophies; but if it leads to violence or even divorce and breaks up the family, the cost is too high."

This is family ethics.

"To compress sleep and rest time for studying, sleeping only five or six hours a day is a necessary sacrifice for the future; but if you ignore your true physical condition and cause fainting, shock, or even sudden death, then you have completely sacrificed your future."

This is a matter of personal safety.

"It's already bad enough that students compete for grades and have no real friendship; but if they maliciously compare themselves to others and resort to underhanded tactics to disrupt other students' exam performance, that's even more serious—"

Nan Zhuren spread his palms: "The so-called 'food chain' formed based on academic performance is what we're discussing as bullying. Judging from the current outcome, it has crossed the line of morality and personal safety, and touched the legal line..."

Vice Principal Ma took a deep breath; he realized he had let Nan Zhuren talk too much.

What Nan Zhuren said was indeed very reasonable.

But does Vice Principal Ma not understand these principles?
Vice Principal Ma didn't come here today to reason with people.

If Nan Zhuren continues speaking, the conversation will get out of control.

He had to disrupt Nan Zhuren's current rhythm.

“Teacher Nan, using terms like ‘bullying’ is too harsh,” Vice Principal Ma said. “Although the methods were a bit extreme, it was indeed playful fighting between children, a way for them to encourage each other to study. Perhaps the method wasn’t well chosen, or perhaps the students are too young to understand. Besides, this could have helped build the resilience of the bullied student, but we all didn’t want to see this outcome, even though the intention was good…”

"Bullshit."

Vice Principal Ma paused abruptly, staring blankly at Nan Zhuren.

It seemed they wanted to confirm whether the decent-looking young man had actually uttered the profanity during their respectable, educational conversation.

Nan Zhuren also looked at Vice Principal Ma.

The timing of this person's opening remarks was brilliant, but what they said was utterly unsophisticated.

It seems they've pretty much run out of ideas.

Nan Zhuren's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but he forgot that he was injured.

The pain made his face twitch involuntarily. This was the biggest expression he had made so far in this conversation.

Vice Principal Ma was even a little curious about what Nan Zhuren would do now if he hadn't been injured.

He found out very quickly.

"Boom."

Vice Principal Ma felt a piercing pain in his calf. Looking down, he saw Nan Zhuren slowly retracting his foot.

Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him bend over in pain, Nan Zhuren curled his lip and said, "The reason I interrupted you with swear words and kicked you now was essentially to test your endurance."

"After all, you are the vice principal, and patience is an important quality in this position—would it make you feel better if I said that?"

Even this explanation contains an element of aggression.

As expected, Vice Principal Ma looked up in pain, opening his mouth to curse.

The shame of having his hypocritical facade exposed, the anger washed away by the young people, the real pain of being kicked... and a variety of other complex emotions were mixed together on Vice Principal Ma's face.

Nan Zhuren felt that his eyes were being disturbed by the noise.

"Look, if you can't accept my 'reasoning,' then others certainly won't be able to accept your reasoning either. So please stop saying such nonsensical things; it just makes me think you're incredibly immature."

"Then let's bring the topic back—you just said that seriously dealing with this matter in the name of 'bullying' would ruin a lot of students."

Nan Zhuren slowly shook his head, looking at Vice Principal Ma with the same eyes one would use to look at a naive child.

"You may have misunderstood something. Do you still think that I did all this to protect Li Mingchen and to seek justice for Xu Pengcheng?"

Indeed, these two students are the clients of the project Nan Zhuren is currently working on. "But... when did I ever say I was only doing this for Li Mingchen and Xu Pengcheng?"

“In my eyes, all the students on the sports team are ‘victims’ of bullying, and I want to seek justice for them all.” Nan Zhuren looked at Vice Principal Ma. “The ‘perpetrator’ is Wang Rui, who instigated the students to bully others, as well as you and other teachers who may know about this matter.”

"And the only ones who will be dealt with are you."

……

This was the first time Nan Zhuren had shared his thoughts with Vice Principal Ma.

Indeed, even though he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Nan Zhuren, Vice Principal Ma's understanding of Nan Zhuren was only that "this young man is too serious about his work, and he just won't lie about the situation of students Li Mingchen and Xu Pengcheng."

Nan Zhuren never easily reveals his plans until he has truly secured victory.

now.

Nan Zhuren bent down slightly, making his line of sight level with Vice Principal Ma.

"Now your facial expressions are consistent."

Nan Zhuren frowned, but still forced himself to use his elbow to move his forearm and draw a circle in front of Vice Principal Ma's face with his fingers.

"What's on your face—is fear."

"As far as I know, the main person responsible for instigation is Wang Rui, right? But you've shown such a high level of fear, could it be that you're actually the main perpetrator?"

"—No, that's wrong."

"So you're at a critical juncture right now, so you can't even bear this kind of minor personal responsibility. That's why you're trying to shift the blame, even attempting to involve the issue of depression, and dumping the responsibility on the students and the school? Very well—I'm right."

"So this year is a crucial period for you? Are you planning to be transferred to another school as principal? — Good, you're right again."

Chonghui, standing to the side, wore a satisfied expression. This was exactly the taste!
Nan Zhuren scoffed: "Could it be that you just want to suppress the matter temporarily, and then ignore everything, even if there's a huge upheaval, once you're successfully transferred? — That's right again?"

……

Vice Principal Ma began to tremble all over.

It's still fear, but this time the fear is deeper than the rational fear of losing one's career.

This is the chilling feeling of having your deepest secrets completely exposed, like being spied on without clothes, capable of inducing pure physiological fear in anyone.

"So, that phone call during the day made you very anxious, didn't it? The leaders of the National Health Commission heard it, and the matter couldn't be covered up anymore, so you wanted to choose the lesser of two evils tonight?"

"--right."

"You didn't just decide to fool me on a whim, did you? You came here tonight intending to warn Teacher Zhao and the students, but seeing that I was also here, you took the opportunity to talk to me first?"

"—Very good, that's right again."

Not only are the secrets in my heart clear, but now even a series of behavioral logics and thoughts have been clearly sorted out.

"So, you really do have connections within the National Health Commission—yes."

"But I already knew this. It's normal. Otherwise, you wouldn't know every time someone from the National Health Commission comes down."

Nan Zhuren nodded knowingly: "So you have other connections in the Health Commission. As long as you recommend him, I will definitely be able to conduct a psychological evaluation for Xu Pengcheng?"

"--right."

At this moment, Vice Principal Ma actually hoped that Nan Zhuren could continue to dig deeper and find out who his so-called "connections" were.

But Nan Zhuren stopped there.

Vice Principal Ma clutched his calf and shivered violently.
