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

Chapter 52 Radical Intervention Programs

Chapter 52 Radical Intervention Programs
Nan Zhuren remained silent, feeling it wasn't the right time for him to speak.

Howard clicked his tongue: "If only I hadn't gone and become that kind of 'unruly' private investigator back then."

He then made a gesture that said "surviving in the cracks".

“I wouldn’t be where I am today. The reason I switched to psychological counseling is that I felt that psychological counseling and the industry I used to work in actually have a lot in common.”

"We still need to understand people's hearts, and we will see many ugly things that we don't usually see. And if we want to do well and go far, the same applies... There are some rules that we shouldn't follow too much."

Nan Zhuren hadn't spoken yet; he felt it wasn't the right time for him to speak.

Howard leaned back forcefully, grabbed the ashtray, and filled the office with even more smoke.

"You asked Xiao Shen for the visitor's contact information before, right?"

Nan Zhuren nodded: "Yes."

"What are you coming here for?"

“I think I need to contact her and get her back. I can handle things for her.”

Howard stared at Nan Zhuren for the time it took to smoke a third of a cigarette, then smiled with satisfaction: "Then let's do it. I agree."

At this point, Howard followed up with, "By the way, this visitor will be here for a long time, right?"

Nan Zhuren thought about it and determined that Howard did not have the ability to analyze micro-expressions.

Even if they did have it, they probably wouldn't be able to use it under the current circumstances.

Nan Zhuren nodded and said, "Generally speaking, the treatment course for PTSD is very long."

Howard sat up straight: "What are your thoughts?"

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and smiled: "I want to try a more radical intervention plan."

……

Shen Bing craned his neck to look in the direction of the boss's office.

He kept glancing at the office and then at the wall clock.

He really didn't expect Nan Zhuren to be so good at creating drama.

On his first day at the company, Nan Zhuren bypassed the boss and supervisor to privately meet with Bald Yang to receive visitors—although this was Bald Yang's scheme, Nan Zhuren's actions were also against the rules.

And now, he's even demanding clients' private contact information under the guise of a consultant!

Interestingly, both of Nan Zhuren's violations were for the sake of Chen Ting, a special visitor.

"But now that the boss is here, Teacher Nan should be able to tone it down a bit."

Shen Bing was conflicted; he wanted his boss to keep a close eye on Nan Zhuren, but he also didn't want his boss to control Nan Zhuren too much.

"Teacher Nan still has several consultations to come, regarding conversion rates and bonuses..."

As Shen Bing muttered to himself, he turned around and saw Nan Zhuren striding out of the boss's office.

Even from a distance, you could see the undisguised excitement on that face.

"Shen Bing, give me Chen Ting's contact information. The boss has agreed!"

Shen Bing: ...?
……

The consulting assistant wasn't particularly unyielding to begin with, and now that the top leader had spoken up, everything else fell into place.

However, Nan Zhuren was still quite surprised after getting the contact information.

He didn't get Chen Ting's contact information.

“This belongs to Chen Ting’s mother,” Shen Bing explained.

He pointed to his contact history: "Every time I contact someone, it's through Chen Ting's mother. Well, this person... well, I can only say she's not easy to communicate with."

Expected.

Nan Zhuren thought about his impression of Chen Ting's mother when they first met, and then he thought about when they met at Jiang University.

During his conversation with Chen Ting, Wang An seemed to use Chen Ting's mother as a way to manipulate her.

It seems the difficulty of intervention needs to be increased further.

However, this was also expected. Nan Zhuren went to the front desk to confirm with Lu Jia that there was a consultation room that was not booked, so as to ensure that their conversation would not be disturbed.

Upon entering the consultation room and opening the window, a breeze blew in from outside.

Nan Zhuren dialed the phone.

"beep--"

"Hello, is this Teacher Shen?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. Although the phone had been distorted, it was still clear that it was the voice of a mature woman, with a warm tone and a steady melody.

If you want, this should be the voice of someone who "brings their own rice bowl".

However, the voice now sounded stiff: "Teacher Shen, we should have already said that Tingting doesn't need consultation anymore. It's okay that we bought the package before, we won't refund it, just consider it as a thank you to Teacher Nan for helping Tingting for the first time."

“Mrs. Chen Ting, I am Nan Zhuren.”

"...Teacher Nan." Perhaps because it was a counselor on the other end of the line rather than an assistant, the tone changed slightly. "What's up?"

Nan Zhuren said, "It's about Chen Ting."

Judging from Chen Ma's tone, Nan Zhuren felt uneasy, but still tried to say, "Chen Ting hasn't come for her consultation, and I'm very worried. Actually, I gave a lecture at Jiang University yesterday and happened to run into her, and I got a new assessment of her situation. If possible, I still hope we can..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Are you saying Tingting isn't better yet?" Chen Ting's mother's tone was firm. "Tingting isn't sick!"

"She's doing very well now. She eats and sleeps on time, and she's happy every day. Her studies at university are getting better and better." She gave one example after another, as if she were trying to prove something or debating something.

Then she changed to a reprimanding tone: "Teacher Nan, our family is very grateful that you made Tingting happy for a while, but I know how your industry operates. We no longer need this kind of 'chatting and talking' to make people feel better."

“We indulged Tingting’s whims for a while before, but do you think we, as parents, don’t know whether Tingting is good or not? If you want Tingting to continue receiving counseling at your center in the future, then you shouldn’t try it anymore.”

“You keep saying there’s a problem, there’s a problem. Even if a child is perfectly fine, you’ll hypnotize them into becoming a problem child.”

"Snap—beep, beep—"

The phone hangs up.

……

Nan Zhuren glanced at the screen and shrugged.

Well, this situation is a bit frustrating.

However, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

“I originally thought that directly contacting visitors was already quite radical.”

"It looks like we'll need an even more 'radical' intervention."

"Then let's use plan B."

He put his work phone aside and took out his personal phone.
