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

Chapter 423 When facing a shameless scapegoat, working people must have a clear mind.
Faced with Nan Zhuren's blunt and uncompromising rejection.

Liu Jiahang took a deep breath and confirmed that Bai Qinghua's newly accepted apprentice was not very good at interpersonal relationships and was very impolite.

He maintained his smile, but a throbbing sound inexplicably came from his forehead. Like being stung by a bee, all the "friendly" expression on Liu Jiahang's face vanished in an instant.

His voice also turned cold: "Xiao Nan, it's true that you are Teacher Bai's apprentice. But this is a company, not a school, and there are rules here—not to mention that you didn't even get into Beijing Normal University."

Chonghui frowned as he listened. Liu Jiahang's change of expression was too fast, and he felt that something was not quite right.

Then Liu Jiahang continued, "You haven't even started working at the company yet, you don't have a contract or a file, and you're taking on the company's inquiries without authorization—you could call it taking on, but it's more like 'stealing' you."

"Even if Da Hui agrees, doing this is still a bit too reckless."

Seemingly feeling that reprimanding Nan Zhuren wasn't enough, Liu Jiahang even turned his attention to Chong Hui: "If you, Da Hui, had taken this consultation, I would have treated you to dinner today to thank you for cleaning up my mess—but you sent your junior brother? Is he even twenty-five? Does he have the ability?"

"How could such a young, novice counselor take on such a consultation under these circumstances?"

"Ah."

Liu Jiahang put on an expression of youthful ignorance and chuckled, "Da Hui, you're either using this as a training opportunity for your junior brother, or you simply don't care whether this visitor stays or not."

"If it's the former, then your attitude towards visitors is too improper; if it's the latter, then you don't care enough about the company's interests."

"After waiting so long for this visit, it was hastily dealt with by a young consultant who just came from out of town and isn't even from our company. This might even jeopardize our company's reputation."

Liu Jiahang took a deep breath, his eyes turning stern: "From a personal perspective, I am grateful to you for cleaning up this mess for me today; but from the perspective of our company's management, I must criticize your handling of this trouble, and at the same time, we must minimize the impact of this trouble on the company as much as possible."

He spoke with such righteous indignation, as if the breath he had just inhaled was some kind of righteous energy.

As Liu Jiahang spoke, he extended his hand again: "I need the visitor's file now. He was my visitor after all. If I take some remedial measures now and give him a more professional online consultation, there might still be a chance to win him back and have him continue consulting with our company."

“Instead of what it is now…” he waved his hand at Nan Zhuren, “…it has really become a ‘lost visitor’.”

"—So, give me your file."

……

A string of seemingly public and private principles is followed by a seemingly reasonable request.

On the other side of Liu Jiahang's aggressive words.

Nan Zhuren twitched the corner of his mouth.

The consultant's words were so full of emotion, combined with the other party's behavior after their appearance today.

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but laugh out loud—of course, he didn't want to hold it in.

Chonghui couldn't help but show an absurd expression.

If it were an ordinary employee, no matter how superficial or ridiculous what the leader said at this time, they would probably just have to grit their teeth and endure it.

Liu Jiahang's face twitched, and he pursed his lips at Nan Zhuren's lack of cooperation: "You won't give me the file? You don't really think this visit is your case, do you? Da Hui, your junior brother doesn't know the rules, you have to teach him, don't you understand?"

"Or, should I contact Teacher Bai now and report this to him?"

Looking at Liu Jiahang across from her, she even started to adopt the demeanor of an elder.

Chonghui is still relatively stable.

After hearing these words, he hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Teacher Liu, you are acting very strangely today, and you are very agitated." "But no matter what's wrong with you today, there are two things I want to clarify—first, Zhu Ren is not the young counselor you think he is, who just came from out of town. His counseling ability is stronger than mine. Letting him take on the counseling was a reasonable judgment I made at the time."

Chonghui raised his hand, stopping Liu Jiahang from saying anything more after his expression changed, and suddenly raised the volume of the first few words of his next sentence: "—And I'll explain this!"

The shout startled Liu Jiahang. When things got unreasonable, Chonghui's size was quite intimidating. Therefore, given a choice, everyone would want to reason with Chonghui.

Liu Jiahang's words were thus cut off, and Chonghui was able to resume his normal speech: "The reason I'm explaining this to you is because I'm a company manager who still treats you as a teacher, so you have some sense of public duty."

"but--"

At this point, Chonghui chuckled in exasperation. Although he was a doctoral student, he was by no means some ivory tower resident with a clear conscience who would never fight back or retaliate.

"—In your last words, you're trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility, aren't you?"

"It's as if this trouble was something that could have been stopped in time, but my junior brother and I messed around and made it escalate. And now you're the one cleaning up our mess, right?"

"Are you trying to shift the blame onto us and avoid all responsibility? But have you forgotten that this unexpected situation arose because you, as the counseling manager, were late without reason and stood the visitor up!"

Chonghui stood up abruptly: "You still want to use the teacher to intimidate me? You'd better think about how to explain your problem to the teacher first!"

"To be honest, I don't know what's wrong with you. You're acting very strangely towards your junior brother today. If you still have something to say to us, I can give you some time to calm down."

Nan Zhuren raised an eyebrow upon hearing this long string of words.

Previously, when I worked with Chonghui in Jiangdu, I was always the main DPS, so Chonghui didn't have many opportunities to shine.

But now it seems that my senior brother is quite aggressive as well.

……

Liu Jiahang clenched his teeth, the prominent masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks clearly visible. He seemed to want to refute something, but was still organizing his thoughts and needed some time.

Chonghui felt a sense of satisfaction, but his mind remained rational, knowing that today's matter was at most a private dispute.

Nan Zhuren and himself were sure they wouldn't be punished by the teacher, but Liu Jiahang in front of them was also sure to be fine.

The company needed a consulting manager, and after Weng Pingting left, Liu Jiahang, although clearly not as good as Weng Pingting, was neither outstanding nor unsuccessful, and steadily developed, saving Bai Qinghua a lot of trouble.

In a sense, Liu Jiahang is more important to Bai Qinghua than Chong Hui.

Chonghui was sensible enough to know that if today's events were to have any outcome that made him and Nan Zhuren happy, it would put everyone in a difficult position. Now that he had vented and felt satisfied, it was about time for him to leave.

Upon realizing this, Chonghui was about to get up.

It was at this time.

Nan Zhuren, who was standing nearby, suddenly remarked casually, "I don't know what this Teacher Liu is usually like."

"But if there's something off about him today—I probably know why."

Chonghui blinked.

Liu Jiahang had no idea what was going to happen next.

Nan Zhuren stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air on Liu Jiahang's face.
