Chapter 521 Not so good

Just like how the most efficient way to review and correct mistakes on the spot after an exam paper has been explained.

Starting the consultation assignment immediately after the consultation ends allows the client to retain the consultation process to the greatest extent possible, thus preserving the consultation's effectiveness.

Nan Zhihao also takes the consultation very seriously.

After establishing a strong counseling relationship with Nan Zhuren and removing the unique barriers of his avoidant attachment style, Nan Zhihao's subjective initiative became frighteningly strong.

Even among all visitors, they belong to the strongest tier.

Nan Zhihao composed himself and turned to a new page in his notebook.

This is a notebook specifically used to complete consulting-related tasks. Following Nan Zhihao's movements, you can see that the front is densely filled with the key points, knowledge points, and written thoughts of each consulting assignment from his previous consultations.

"Let me think... the content of this consultation is the 'empty chair technique'... the keywords are 'ideal self' and 'real self,' and what was that again? Right, 'externalization'..."

Nan Zhihao recalled carefully: "Then they asked me to write a debate speech, and what I wrote was roughly..."

One page was quickly filled, then two pages, then three pages.

In addition to the corresponding debriefing content, Nan Zhihao also drew his own mind map and made annotations.

After finishing these tasks, he shook his aching wrists, let out a breath, and then turned back to a blank page, writing the homework assignments given by Nan Zhuren at the top.

Then, his gaze gradually lost focus, and he fell into a state of thought.

The concept of the "ideal self," when applied to an individual, is a rather grand proposition.

Not to mention now, even in the past twenty years of his life, Nan Zhihao had never thought about this question so carefully as he did today.

In the counseling room, he was in a confrontational, high-level emotional state. But now, alone in his dorm room, facing his desk and laptop, his thoughts have involuntarily wandered.

"First of all... we must still treat people kindly. Although this has happened, some things cannot change. I cannot blame myself because of a scammer, nor can I blame others because of a scammer."

"Keep striving and making progress... Compared to my peers back home, I'm already doing very well, but I need to do even better."

"The work ethic instilled in us in the military must not be lost..."

"Then we need to eliminate those overly strict things, like the things we rejected during today's debate with Professor Nan..."

Some of these words were murmured aloud by Nan Zhihao, while others echoed directly in his mind.

Without realizing it, his thoughts drifted in a certain direction: "If I were this ideal version of myself, what would happen if I encountered that conman... it would definitely be better than it is now."

"Life in the future will definitely be more dignified..."

Suddenly, Nan Zhihao grabbed the hourglass pendant on his chest and then shook his head violently.

His gaze swept quickly across the notebook in front of him, then locked onto the assignment requirements he had just memorized—"Based on 'current' events."

Nan Zhihao stared at these words: "Don't think too much, thinking about those things is meaningless. Think about how you would handle this situation if you were my ideal self, and what decisions you would make..."

What's on my mind right now?

The phrase "based on the current events" acted as an anchor, allowing Nan Zhihao to lock onto his goal amidst the turbulent and chaotic waves of his thoughts. After much deliberation, he realized that he only had one thing on his mind—the court hearing in a few days.

"If this were the ideal version of myself..."

Nan Zhihao chewed on these words.

"I should be serious; what's mine is mine... No, those private prosecution cases are quite sensitive. I can allow myself to back down a bit and not make the most standard choice..."

“But,” Nan Zhihao’s eyes hardened slightly, “at least, I will not be afraid. I want to see who lied to me and who caused all of this.”

"Then, I'll want to see them get the fate they deserve!"

Nan Zhihao took a deep breath and confirmed his inner thoughts.

Attending the court hearing was practically the obvious choice.

As for whether it's merely witnessing, providing substantial evidence for the current public prosecution, or supplementing the private prosecution...

"Let's hear what the lawyers have to say."

Thinking this, Nan Zhihao took out his phone.

But before he could dial the number, his phone miraculously lit up first.

The metal body vibrated restlessly in his hand, and the incoming call display on the screen caught Nan Zhihao's eye, causing him to involuntarily purse his lips.

connected.

"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"

The tone of this greeting was relatively calm.

The next second, a voice came from the phone, and Nan Zhihao's tone suddenly rose: "What do you mean by taking a leave of absence?!"

Nan Zhihao heard the voice on the other end of the phone say, "Don't be anxious, don't talk like that, your mother is here too."

"Your mother and I discussed it, and we realized that you're in a rather special situation right now, and we don't really know how you are doing." The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and slow, carrying a unique earnestness honed by time. "We were thinking of going to Beidu to see you, but you didn't want us to come, saying you didn't want to trouble your parents... My dear child, how could your parents think it's troublesome?"

Nan Zhihao gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, I think I told Mom before that my case is going to trial in a few days..."

"Oh, didn't you say we didn't need to go? Just submit some documents and stuff? We thought about it later, and it's definitely better not to go. After all, there are so many people there. I heard there might be TV stations or online broadcasts or something? That's not good..."

The person on the other end of the phone didn't give Nan Zhihao a chance to interrupt, and continued slowly:
“We were very worried about you last time you were like this. We were thinking that instead of visiting you, we should let you come back and rest for a while to recuperate.”

“We asked your teacher yesterday… oh, I mean your counselor, right? We asked your counselor, and he supports it too, because this is indeed a big deal, and you can’t take care of yourself on your own at school.”

"And don't graduate students have fewer classes? Your advisor also said that taking a leave of absence won't have much of an impact; you might not even have to repeat a year. You can just study and do your homework at home..."

"Ah Hao, what do you think? Hey, Ah Hao?"
