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

Chapter 422 Tit for tat
Just as Chonghui saw the late consultant.

The other party had clearly seen Chonghui as well.

"Teacher Liu, there's a package for you..." The receptionist also noticed the late consultant.

"Thank you."

After receiving a package with the name "Liu Jiahang" on it and holding it in his arms, the late consultant greeted Chonghui without changing his expression.

"It's Da Hui." He had a very standard social smile on his face.

Chonghui nodded and greeted, "Teacher Liu."

Liu Jiahang pointed to the door and gave the receptionist a knowing smile that was a mix of worry and gratitude: "Judging by the time, wasn't that the person who just came to see me?"

Then she turned to Chonghui and said, "Dahui, you picked him up, right? I'm so sorry to have troubled you—I heard he's difficult to get along with?"

Chonghui did not answer immediately.

As Bai Qinghua's doctoral apprentice, Chonghui can practically walk sideways in the company—although given his personality, he wouldn't actually walk like that.

Even with his status, there are still a few people in the company whom he needs to treat with care.

Take Liu Jiahang, for example.

The company we have now was indeed founded by Bai Qinghua.

However, due to various reasons, Bai Qinghua, as the boss, actually spends very little time at the company. Except for special consultations that require his presence, people in the company might not see Bai Qinghua even once a week.

In this situation, the company clearly needs another person who can manage and professionally oversee the work of its employees.

That is, the consulting manager.

Previously, this position belonged to Weng Pingting.

As Bai Qinghua's first disciple and an extremely professional consultant, she was undoubtedly deserving of this position.

In fact, the company's establishment was thanks to the efforts of Weng Pingting, who was already making a name for herself in the professional field at the time.

After Weng Pingting left Beidu, the vacant position naturally needed to be filled.

Although Chonghui is the most senior among Bai Qinghua's current apprentices, he is still a doctoral student and has limited energy; at the same time, although he can work independently in his professional field, he is not yet capable of holding down a position.

In this situation, Bai Qinghua had no choice but to select someone from among the existing consultants who was not a close confidant but still had a certain level of trust and was capable of keeping things under control, to take over the position of consulting director.

That person was Liu Jiahang standing right in front of me.

Therefore, even though Liu Jiahang missed the consultation because he was late, Chonghui couldn't immediately hold him accountable or reprimand him.

On the one hand, they lacked confidence, and on the other hand, doing such a thing in public would make it difficult for the supervisor to manage the company in the future, which would then be detrimental to the teacher.

As for holding someone accountable, that's something only Bai Qinghua, Chonghui's teacher, can do.

At this moment, Chonghui decided to go along with the other party's soft words and continue speaking.

"No, I didn't handle this consultation."

Liu Jiahang looked surprised: "Who is that? Aren't all the counselors available today?"

Before Chonghui could answer, Shanshan, the receptionist, suddenly said, "He's the boss's new apprentice!"

Liu Jiahang was even more surprised upon hearing this: "Dahui, your junior brother? I heard that your boss's research group didn't recruit any new members this year?"

Chonghui's expression turned slightly awkward: "He only took the postgraduate entrance exam this year..."

Hear this.

Liu Jiahang raised an eyebrow.

Just then, Nan Zhuren came out of the consultation room with a folder in his hand.

"Senior brother...and who is this?"

Their eyes met instantly. ...

It's almost time to get off work.

At this point, counselors will not arrange further consultations unless absolutely necessary, and will mostly organize materials or answer questions for ambitious assistants.

For those who don't need to be in the office, they can now clock out and leave.

But today, the counselors sat in their seats with a remarkable tacit understanding, each whispering to their assistants.

"Old Liu stood himself up for his visit today? And then the boss's apprentice picked him up?"

"Yes, yes. It's not Da Hui, but a newly accepted apprentice I haven't seen before?" an assistant replied.

"The visitor was very vocal and had a lot of complaints. We almost thought we had to activate our emergency plan!"

"I didn't hear anything in the consultation room... The soundproofing is really good," one counselor remarked.

"I heard that the last visitor was not received."

"Come on, it's normal to not be able to handle this situation. Who can guarantee it? Can you? Or can you?" a consultant said fairly.

"I heard that this young apprentice was specially brought back from Jiangdu by the boss on a business trip, and he just took the postgraduate entrance exam this year..." An assistant relayed the results of his conversation with the receptionist.

"Isn't that illegitimate? He's neither a student in the boss's research group nor has he ever had his file registered with our company."

"This young man might be in trouble," one consultant concluded.

"Who knows, maybe this visitor will come back and renew their subscription?" one counselor said, showing a friendly attitude towards newcomers.

"Ha, how could that be?" another consultant chuckled.

Inside the supervisor's office.

The room is also very soundproof, so the people inside can't hear what's being said outside.

Liu Jiahang, Chong Hui, and Nan Zhuren did not sit across from each other at the desk, but chatted on the sofa next to them.

The atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

"I'm really sorry to have troubled you, Teacher Xiao Nan. I just got off the plane and ran into this problem." Liu Jiahang started the conversation.

"It's not too much trouble," Nan Zhuren said honestly.

Liu Jiahang thought this young man was quite good at chatting and had a high EQ, so he softened his tone: "I heard from Da Hui that the boss plans to have you handle visitors here in the future? It's a pity that your first visitor had such an unsuccessful experience; it's not a good omen. Generally speaking, we should pick a better visitor who can renew their subscription as your first order..."

Nan Zhuren continued to speak frankly: "It's not that things aren't going well, and this visit might even come again."

Liu Jiahang paused, then realized that this young man wasn't very good at conversation.

While answering, Nan Zhuren observed Liu Jiahang's expression.

I've figured something out.

Liu Jiahang, however, seemed lost in thought.

Chonghui was watching both of them at the same time, ready to interrupt at any moment.

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work today." Liu Jiahang adopted the demeanor of a consulting manager. "What's the situation with this visitor? Tell me briefly."

As he spoke, he reached out to take the file from Nan Zhuren's hand, as well as the visit form that Nan Zhuren had filled out after this consultation.

"Sorry, can not."

The next second, Nan Zhuren's words made Liu Jiahang freeze completely.

"There are confidentiality regulations, so it's not convenient for me to tell you about the visitor."

“And you’re not my supervisor,” Nan Zhuren said earnestly. “The question from this visitor is indeed quite profound, but I will discuss the specifics with my teacher.”
