Chapter 60 You Need Consultation More Than Your Daughter

Yannuo Center has been poorly managed recently, resulting in a small number of cases.

At that moment, only Nan Zhuren's consultation room had a client—Chen Ting.

This mismanagement has now become a good thing.

After all, if there are too many visitors now, the shouting and commotion outside might disrupt the consultations, making the already poor situation at Yan Nuo Center even worse.

"Tingting!"

A shrill soprano voice is shouting.

Even Lu Jia was at a loss in this situation. She tried to comfort the visitor's mother, but the result was an even noisier response.

Although there are no other visitors now, they will come later.

At that point, they might be scared away or even driven away.

One by one, the counselors, skilled in emotional soothing and stress release, huddled in the office area, not daring to show their faces at this time. This is what they often call a "troublesome case." Whoever brought in such a client should handle it; they would never get involved.

Several young consulting assistants couldn't bear to see Lu Jia handling things alone, so they rushed out, but they only made things worse.

Nan Zhuren observed quickly.

The appearance of Chen Ting's mother was unexpected, even for him.

However, Nan Zhuren did not feel flustered.

This might be disruptive for Yannuo Center, but it might not necessarily be a bad thing for Chen Ting and his counseling.

[Luckily, before she arrived, Chen Ting had already completed the part about having a dialogue with her subconscious, gaining some energy to confront her fears.]

The original plan was to gradually help Chen Ting resist stress through systematic desensitization therapy, but it seems we can adjust that approach a bit now...

The consultation process is inherently accompanied by various changes.

It's quite possible that a client may experience some growth during counseling today, but before they can solidify that growth, some unexpected event in their life might cause the counseling's effectiveness to regress. These are all common occurrences.

There is more than one solution to the same problem.

There is no best solution, only the solution that is most suitable for the visitor.

Chen Ting's "situation" has already changed because of her mother's arrival.

Nan Zhuren also had a new plan in mind.

I've already spent a lot of time explaining things to Chen Ting in the consultation room, and it looks like Lu Jia is about to give way to the other party's relentless pursuit.

Nan Zhuren quickly assessed the situation and gave Chen Ting's mother a quick look.

[The stance—legs apart, hands on hips, neck craning forward—definitely indicates aggression, but it hasn't reached the level of hysteria.]

[Her face wasn't red... Oh, that's because of makeup. Let's look at other areas: the nasal wings aren't noticeably widened, and her pupils and eyelids seem normal...]

[She comes from a well-off family, so she wouldn't easily lose control. This shouting is actually a way of signaling her intentions; she hopes to lure me or Chen Ting out as soon as possible.]

We can try to appease them first...

"Mrs. Chen." He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and tried to soften his tone.

Nan Zhuren had spoken with Chen's mother before and knew that Chen Ting's whole family shared the surname Chen.

As soon as he spoke, Chen Ma, who was originally as fierce as a cat with its fur standing on end, couldn't help but pause. Although she still maintained her aggressive posture, her domineering aura stopped.

To put it simply, the anger was no longer coherent.

All the Yannuo employees present visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Lu Jia looked at Nan Zhuren with some worry in her eyes.

Chen Ma turned around and met Nan Zhuren who was coming forward.

She snorted coldly: "Fine, you let the woman hide in front for so long, and now you know to come out?"

Nan Zhuren gave a social smile: "Sorry to keep you waiting." This simple reassurance was to calm the visitor down and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

After that, the visitor needs to vent their anger.

Fortunately, this step no longer requires Nan Zhuren's guidance.

Chen's mother automatically launched into a barrage of words: "I knew you guys calling me every day weren't up to any good. Psychological counseling is all a scam! Now that you can't fool me, you're bypassing me and going straight to the kids?"

"Your kind of organization is really something you can't get rid of once you're hooked!"

Chen Ma said through gritted teeth, "You even went directly to Jiang University to find Tingting? You guys are really something!"

"But let me tell you, don't think that just because you have connections at Jiangda University or outside, you can do whatever you want. Our family is not one that anyone can mess with."

"I'll report you as soon as I get back. If you continue to harass our family, we'll call the police and file a lawsuit!"

Nan Zhuren raised his hands in front of his chest, making a "calm down" gesture, without changing his movements or expression at all.

He is very experienced in dealing with such situations.

He needs Chen Ma to vent her anger as much as possible now.

When Chen Ma had vented her feelings comfortably, felt good, and felt completely relieved, she started to breathe slightly heavily.

Nan Zhurencai said slowly, "Chen Ting is waiting for you in the consultation room."

The location of her daughter immediately captured Chen Ma's attention: "Let Tingting out, I won't let her come here again!"

Nan Zhuren pressed his hand down again, indicating that he should calm down.

He said in as calm a tone as possible, "What I mean is, Chen Ting is waiting for you in the counseling room—this is very important to her."

"It's not her who needs to come out, it's you who needs to go in."

Not coming out?
Is she waiting for me?
Chen Ma's eyebrows shot up, and her cheeks, which had just calmed down, began to flush again.

Her lips twitched a few times, almost causing her to scold her daughter in public.

Using his limited lip-reading skills, Nan Zhuren guessed that the words Chen Ma was muttering were "倒反天罡" (Daofan Tiangang).

"Where is she?"

Nan Zhuren said, "Come with me."

Nan Zhuren gave Lu Jia a look that said "I'm sorry" and "Don't worry," and led Chen Ma inside.

The door opened, and Chen Ting was sitting on the sofa.

Head bowed, radiating timidity and fear.

There were still tear stains on her face.

Chen Ma's expression turned serious: "Tingting, stand up and go home."

There was no movement.

Nan Zhuren's voice sounded from behind: "Ms. Chen, please sit down if it's convenient."

???

Chen Ma turned around in disbelief.

Nan Zhuren's voice was calm and unhurried: "Chen Ting's consultation has ended, but the situation is now somewhat complicated."

"Our consultation has entered a new phase, and this phase requires your participation and cooperation."

"in other words--"

Nan Zhuren said gently, "You need a consultation."

Chen Ma's gaze toward Nan Zhuren gradually turned absurd.
