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

Chapter 434 Decision
Nan Zhuren roughly understood the situation.

Chonghui and Shi Qianqian are not incapable of making money; rather, they invest all their money in their future selves, hoping to seize a greater possibility.

Seeing Chonghui, who had just been holding his chin up proudly, turn around and bury his head in his food again, Nan Zhuren couldn't help but smile and ask:
"How often do teachers treat students to meals at restaurants?"

“We come here every few days,” Chonghui replied. “It’s the kind of place that costs several hundred yuan per person. The kind of place we wouldn’t normally spend money on, even if we had it.”

Watching Chonghui and Shi Qianqian's practiced ordering and packing, Nan Zhuren smiled inwardly.

"Oh, Junior Brother, you really like sweets? I didn't know that!" Chonghui said, noticing the plate in front of Nan Zhuren and looking curious.

Nan Zhuren paused for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression and replied with a smile, "I tend to order all kinds of things that don't fill me up, just to try them all. I'm quite curious."

"However... I may have drunk too much mango pomelo sago, I'm going to the restroom."

Watching Nan Zhuren's departing figure, Chonghui remained noncommittal.

Suddenly, Chonghui reached out and waved his hand twice in front of Shi Qianqian's eyes: "Stop looking, we're going far away."

He teased, "If you were so interested, why weren't you saying anything just now?"

Shi Qianqian's dazed expression froze for a moment, then turned fierce: "Why didn't you say before that my junior brother was this handsome?"

"And, and they're so good at consulting..."

Shi Qianqian was so angry that she started to stutter.

Chonghui shrugged: "Did I tell you that his core trait is 'handsome'? Did I invite you to come with me to pick him up at the airport?"

The tall senior brother made a goat-like shrug: "You just didn't take it seriously and then refused."

Shi Qianqian took a deep breath.

The boneless chicken claw in her mouth had already been chewed up and swallowed.

But the teeth continued to rub against each other in the mouth, making a "crunching" sound.

"...Since you've put it that way, let's settle the score for leaving me alone in Beidu while you spent a month having fun in Jiangdu..."

……

On the other side, Nan Zhuren looked at herself in the mirror and let out a long breath.

When Nan Zhuren found himself in an unfamiliar environment again, he was actually quite wary.

He did acknowledge Weng Pingting, and from Weng Pingting, one could also glimpse some of Bai Qinghua's traits.

Through their previous conversation at Jiangda University, Nan Zhuren had gained some understanding of Bai Qinghua.

But Bai Qinghua was, after all, a psychologist capable of establishing his own school of thought, and was far superior to Lin Lilin.

Nan Zhuren found it difficult to say what percentage of Bai Qinghua's true character he knew.

Moreover, Nan Zhuren was not unaware of some other things in Bai Qinghua's eyes.

Nan Zhuren was well aware of his own abilities and how valuable they were to Bai Qinghua's research.

That was an "asset" level of ability, which made all the professors in the first row's eyes light up at that national supervisory conference.

Nan Zhuren came to Beidu for the sake of richer consulting resources and a bigger stage; but Bai Qinghua's invitation to Nan Zhuren naturally had other thoughts besides "having another apprentice".

Therefore, although Nan Zhuren collaborated with Chonghui for a period of time, she still maintained a certain degree of scrutiny regarding her future studies and life.

He had already made up his mind that the first thing he would do upon arriving in Beidu was to assess the other students in Bai Qinghua's research group.

If there were anything in it that Nan Zhuren found offensive, then Nan Zhuren could simply treat Bai Qinghua's three years of mentorship as a stepping stone, and once the three years were up, he could just take his graduation certificate and leave.

If all else fails, you can always consider choosing a different supervisor after you get into Beijing Normal University.

However, it seems that it is not necessary for the time being.

When Chonghui spoke to Shi Qianqian, his expression was completely undisguised. "Since that's the case, let's make this our temporary refuge in Beidu."

Nan Zhuren looked at herself in the mirror with a serious expression, then smiled and nodded.

A girl who had already washed her hands with hand sanitizer three times in the sink glanced over and couldn't help but shudder when she saw what was happening.

Unfortunately, Nan Zhuren didn't give her a fourth chance to use the hand sanitizer. Having made up her mind, Nan Zhuren walked straight out.

Looking back now, Hokuto... well, it's not bad. Staying here to develop my career isn't out of the question.

However, Jiangdu is still a place I miss quite a bit. I can't quite let go of Li Minglu. Teacher Zhao asked me about teaching a few days ago. I wonder how Teacher Hu and Huang Xin are doing with their work now, and...

【Um? 】

Nan Zhuren couldn't help but pause.

Similarly, as Nan Zhuren made his move, a figure walking towards him did the same thing.

A pause in his steps.

However, unlike Nan Zhuren, this person's expressions were much richer.

"Oh, Teacher Nan?" Summer's face lit up with surprise.

Nan Zhuren blinked and smiled, "Xia Tian, ​​what are you doing here?"

……

The tea restaurant where Nan Zhuren and his group were located was inside a large shopping mall, and they were currently in the passageway outside the restaurant.

Passersby couldn't help but avoid this small area, as if some force was brewing there that would involuntarily drive away all the idlers.

But those seemingly casual yet curious glances involuntarily converged upon them.

Fortunately, both of them were so used to indifferent glances that they had become desensitized to them.

"What a coincidence, Professor Nan."

Summer walked up in two steps and stopped at a suitable spot, keeping the distance just right so that she could look into Nan Zhuren's eyes with her head slightly tilted back, and enough for the perfume she had worn that day to drift over and envelop Nan Zhuren's breath.

"I was just thinking about your name, and then suddenly I saw your face." Xia Tian put her hands behind her back. "I thought I was hallucinating because I've been working too hard lately."

"Oh? Work?" Nan Zhuren seized on the key word. "You're coming to Beidu to work? I remember you haven't graduated yet, right? Do you guys start internships this early?"

Xia Tian shook her head: "No, I'm preparing to take the entrance exam for graduate school at China University of Political Science and Law. So I'm taking advantage of the summer vacation to do an internship here and get familiar with the environment."

"It's not that I'm not studying hard, Teacher Nan. Our major is different from yours. A lot of knowledge can only be better absorbed through practice," Xia Tian said seriously. "After summer vacation, I'm going home to cram for the exam."

Nan Zhuren nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

"But I remember Professor Nan is going to take the postgraduate entrance exam at Beijing Normal University, right? It's not surprising that you're in Beijing, but I thought you would be studying in Jiangdu!"

Nan Zhuren explained, "I contacted my supervisor in advance, and he arranged work for me here."

Summer was very supportive: "Many people haven't been able to secure a supervisor after the re-examination. Professor Nan, you still have half a year until the initial examination, but you've already started working with potential supervisors. That's amazing!"

Nan Zhuren smiled.

Suddenly, Xia Tian made a thoughtful expression, then her eyes lit up.

"Teacher Nan, since you're also in Beidu, could I ask you for a favor? Something like... psychological support?"

"What's the deal?"

"Well, I'm currently interning at the court..."
