26: Chapter 26 High Intensity Consultation (Please Follow) 26: Chapter 26 High Intensity Consultation (Please Follow) The fact proves that the allure of office gossip is second only to getting a holiday and a pay raise.

Especially when the protagonist of the gossip can bring benefits to the employees, it becomes even more enticing.

However,

compared to the enthusiastic Shen Bing and Huang Shaodong, Nan Zhubin was relatively uninterested.

After making a few casual conversations with a social smile and two assistants, Nan Zhubin soon packed up his luggage.

The space of three bedrooms and one living room is quite spacious, and the interior decoration is rather comfortable.

Nan Zhubin must admit that living in such a level of company-provided housing indeed makes work more powerful.

Not to mention for Nan Zhubin, there’s another layer of incentive:

[Monthly Goal: Complete 10 hours of ‘Psychological Consultation’ in 1 month (3/10), followed by 1 session of ‘Psychological Ability Training’]

Now is the time to work hard on consultations!

Nan Zhubin energetically raised his head: “Xiaobing, do I have any consultations in the next few days?”

Unexpectedly, Shen Bing, who was originally chatting and laughing with Huang Shaodong, suddenly paused after hearing this.

His expression became somewhat uncertain.

Nan Zhubin instinctively started reading the other’s expression, feeling something was off.

[Wait, this situation seems to be…

pity?]

Nan Zhubin was puzzled, then heard Shen Bing slowly say, “I was just about to communicate with you, Mr.

Nan.”

“The supervisor just informed me two hours ago.

She has assigned quite a few visitors; you need to quickly review the preliminary collected materials.”

Quite a few visitors?

Nan Zhubin raised an eyebrow: “‘Quite a few visitors,’ how many are there?”

—————–

The next day.

7:40, Nan Zhubin was woken up by the phone alarm, opened his eyes, and began to carefully organize today’s schedule in his mind, showing a troubled expression.

7:50, got up, washed, tidied up his appearance.

8:01, went out, bought a fresh meat bun, a pickled vegetable meat bun, and a cup of soy milk at the bun shop at the community entrance, ate while walking.

8:09, arrived at Yan Nuo Consulting Center in the morning sunshine.

Front desk Lu Jia, upon seeing Nan Zhubin, seemed to be bathed in something warmer than sunshine: “Mr.

Nan, you’re early today too!”

Nan Zhubin slightly pulled the corner of his mouth.

Facing Lu Jia, who had helped him before, he didn’t enter a 100% social mode and involuntarily showed a bit of genuine emotion.

And the expression on Nan Zhubin’s face reminded Lu Jia, whose smooth cheeks timely showed a touch of sympathy and heartache.

“Mr.

Nan, you’re starting so early today…”

Nan Zhubin nodded, went straight to his workstation, began reviewing today’s visitors’ data, and started constructing consultation scenarios based on the information at hand.

8:30, the first visitor arrived.

…

Nan Zhubin looked over the girl in front of him, around twenty years old or so.

She had a slender figure, a sluggish spirit; although light makeup covered her face, it could not hide the fatigue nearly soaking into the surrounding air.

“Teacher…

I think I am depressed.”

Before fully sitting down, the visitor bluntly got into her situation.

Nan Zhubin quickly recalled the previously seen documents in his mind, confirming her depression scale and suicide assessment scores.

He slightly inhaled and concisely said, “You seem to have a clear understanding of your situation; has anything happened recently that makes you feel troubled?”

Nan Zhubin cautiously changed his wording, using “troubled” to avoid the term “depression” as much as possible.

“My boyfriend isn’t very good to me,” the visitor hesitantly said, “he always watches over me, with a strong urge to control…”

“He gets angry when he sees me talking to other men, even when I talk to his friends.”

“Sometimes he even stops me from going out; he always thinks I might get involved with other men…”

Nan Zhubin frowned.

He brewed his thoughts, intending to delve deeper into the topic.

“But I think I deserve it.” The visitor apparently needed to vent, not leaving Nan Zhubin space to speak, “because I really did get involved with his friend before…so I feel sorry for him.”

Nan Zhubin continued to frown, restraining the desire to dive into the topic.

“I am having a hard time now; I cry every day.

But I can’t leave him; I also know that my current life is what I deserve…”

Nan Zhubin: …

…

9:25.

Shen Bing brought a cup of iced coffee to the exhausted Nan Zhubin.

Shen Bing was full of excitement.

“Mr.

Nan, the visitor’s experience was great.

They have already renewed for three consultations and seem interested in upgrading the package!”

This achievement drew another wave of attention from others; the progress was really effortless.

However, Nan Zhubin’s face showed little joy.

“This consultation was simple, just empathy followed by emotional soothing, then doing some rational emotive therapy, but…”

[Empathy] and [Soothing] are in some sense the easiest yet the most exhausting.

Psychological consultants are always called “negative emotion trash cans” because they always need to deplete their mental energy to replenish someone else’s.

In contrast, Nan Zhubin prefers to use more rational techniques for consultation rather than methods like [Empathy] which harm oneself for the benefit of others.

Even though the consultation went smoothly, it was also tiring.

“Especially with so many consultations this morning.”

Nan Zhubin sighed.

Shen Bing initially wanted to encourage him with a few words, but upon seeing the wall clock, he suddenly fell silent.

“Mr.

Nan, the second visitor has arrived…”

…

9:30.

In front was a man around thirty years old, wearing thick glasses, constantly eyeing the furnishings in the consulting room from the moment he entered.

“Hello, I am your consultant today, you can call me Mr.

Nan.”

The visitor’s gaze lingered on Nan Zhubin’s face for a while, frowning.

“Mr.

Nan, is it?

Hello.”

“Mr.

Nan, listen to me.”

Oh.

Nan Zhubin politely curled his lip and assumed a listening posture.

“I am a programmer; a year ago, I dated a twenty-one-year-old girlfriend, she is a kindergarten teacher with a low salary, and I’ve always been supporting her financially.”

“At the beginning of this year, she wanted to open a bubble tea shop, so I lent her fifty thousand dollars.

However, the shop lost too much later and couldn’t continue.

Considering her age, her thinking isn’t very thorough; I understand this, so I didn’t ask for the money back, but I also didn’t allow her to do business again.”

“Recently, she wanted to break up.

I told her she couldn’t break up before paying off the fifty thousand dollars; since then, it has become very strained between us…”

Nan Zhubin pressed his lips: “Are you trying to get your money back or attempt to repair this relationship?”

The thirty-year-old visitor thought for a while, then spoke decisively, “Both!”

“Can you help me achieve this?”

…

10:20.

Nan Zhubin looked somewhat pale.

He waved Shen Bing over: “This visitor’s request is hard to satisfy, and the enthusiasm for changing himself isn’t very high…

probably won’t come again.”

Shen Bing nodded, still saying, “I’ll keep following up, just in case there’s a renewal?”

Nan Zhubin ambiguously nodded.

“You tidy things up.

After two consecutive consultations, I need to catch my breath first.”

However, Shen Bing glanced at the watch again, showing sympathy.

“Mr.

Nan, the next visitor has also arrived—they are early.”
