Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Then using a word to describe Nan Zhubin’s current complexion would be very suitable—

[Pale as gold paper].

Eight clients in a day, each session lasting 40 minutes to an hour; with such an intense workload, theoretically using listening techniques as the main consultation method should be the easiest.

Nanshu Zhu’s former teacher once told him a psychology joke, saying: A newly graduated psychological consultant, who doesn’t know any consultation techniques.

One day, he even accidentally fell asleep during a client session, only waking up quietly when it was about to end.

Just as he was terrified that he had neglected the client, the client instead was tearfully grateful to him: “Thank you, professor, you have helped me so much!”

Thus, this newly graduated consultant relied on this “sleep accompaniment” consultation method to make waves in the industry, with his consultation fee rising from two hundred per hour to eight hundred per hour in just six months.

It’s hard to say if this joke was based on a true story.

But from it, you can see that if a consultant simply wanted to “wing it” with consultations, it’s actually quite easy.

Unfortunately, Nan Zhubin is not the type of consultant who would lower consultation quality just to deal with clients.

Many jobs allow you to slack, like during meetings or when being on duty;

But consultation is not, in Nan Zhubin’s understanding, the type of job where you can slack.

So, it’s understandable that Nan Zhubin’s face now infinitely resembles one of exhaustion.

…

“However, Mr.

Nan looking so pale also looks quite handsome, with a kind of…

handsomeness that’s only there for special occasions.”

The young receptionist, Lu Jia, looked towards the consultation room, her eyes shimmering.

Who knows what she thought of suddenly, her face turned red, and the waves in her eyes rippled even more.

Bang!

Five minutes after the last client left, a finally recovered Nan Zhubin stepped out of the consultation room.

That pale face immediately sparked Lu Jia’s maternal instincts.

“Be careful, Mr.

Nan!”

Lu Jia, with a sense of saving the world, burst forth with unspeakable speed, rushing up to support a staggering but actually not at all needing support Nan Zhubin.

“Thank you.”

Nan Zhubin pursed his lips, accepting Lu Jia’s support for a few seconds in a way that was pleasantly distanced, showing that he had accepted the kindness, then resolutely withdrew his arm, indicating that he was indeed fine.

“Mr.

Nan have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself!” Shen Bing as the consultation assistant arrived the second, snatched away the position of caretaking Nan Zhubin in the face of Lu Jia’s fiery glance.

“Thank you.” Nan Zhubin accepted the help with ease this time.

The bitter coffee mixed with the aroma of milk eased Nan Zhubin’s expression slightly.

Lu Jia looked at Shen Bing, full of regret—was she actually less capable of taking care of a man compared to another man?

The young receptionist thought for a moment and said, “Mr.

Nan, you’ve done so many consultations today, why not take a good rest first?”

Shen Bing quickly interrupted Lu Jia upon hearing this: “No, the next client is coming soon.”

Lu Jia argued based on reason: “When the client arrives, I can let her have a cup of tea first, then fill out some previous forms, do some preparatory work, it’s very easy to gain more than ten minutes of rest time!”

This actually is possible.

Nan Zhubin’s expression shifted slightly hearing this.

He is a consultant unwilling to reduce the quality of consultations.

But Lu Jia’s plan, based on acquiring some rest time, in a sense, could instead improve the quality of consultations.

The only thing required to increase was Lu Jia’s workload.

Nan Zhubin pondered for a moment: “I’ll go catch my breath first, if I recover well, there’s no need to trouble little Jia.”

“Not trouble at all!”

Lu Jia’s voice was quick and filled with delight.

Seeing this, Shen Bing also immediately volunteered: “I’ll tidy up the consultation room first!”

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts, each found something to do and was quite satisfied.

When Nan Zhubin stepped into the office area, he as per usual drew a lot of gazes.

Only, different from before, now everyone looked at Nan Zhubin with the eyes used to admire a brave warrior.

The white-shirted consultant and the thick-glassed consultant exchanged a glance.

“He looks like a cat tossed into a washing machine now.”

“Speaking of, how many consultations did you do the most in a day back then?” The white shirt suddenly asked.

The thick glasses made a thoughtful look: “At that time, I had just joined not long ago, the supervisor arranged six consultations for me in a day.

Three in the morning, three in the evening.”

“Did you finish them?”

“I threw up after finishing the fourth one, then collapsed.

I joined the field halfway, being a consultant already in my thirties,” thick glasses explained, trying to save face, “can’t compare my energy to young folks.”

“Oh.”

“What about you?” The thick glasses, after sharing his embarrassment, promptly questioned his colleague.

“Ahem.” The white shirt consultant cleverly dodged the question.

He cleared his throat, appearing concerned towards Nan Zhubin: “Mr.

Nan, how many consultations have you done today?”

Without turning his head, Nan Zhubin responded as he walked to his desk:

“Seven.”

This number was known to everyone, since they had all been silently counting.

Yet when this number was spoken directly by Nan Zhubin, the consultants couldn’t help but be amazed.

The white shirt paused, then exclaimed: “Seven consultations in a day, really impressive.”

“I have eight in total today, one more to go.”

“Ah.” The white shirt’s tone immediately turned dry, “Then I won’t disturb Mr.

Nan’s preparation!”

At that moment, Nan Zhubin finally turned around, nodded at the white shirt, maintaining a bit of office camaraderie.

Then he returned to his workstation, glanced at the clock, and in everyone’s “as expected” gaze, flopped onto the desk with a “poof.”

And fell asleep.

The white shirt and his colleague exchanged a look, their amazed glances turning sympathetic: “Prepare well, Mr.

Nan.”

And Nan Zhubin truly was preparing.

His consciousness sank, coming to Dream World for the second time today.

In his consciousness, a string of fictional large words flickered:

[Monthly Goal: Complete “Psychological Consultation” for 10 hours within 1 month (10/10), proceed to 1 “Psychological Ability Training” upon completion]

[Current [Monthly Goal] has been completed]

[You have a [Psychological Ability Training] pending collection.]

The first task of this dream psychological consultation center was completed!

Nan Zhubin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.

What will this time’s [Psychological Ability Training] be?
