Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!
Chapter 31 - 31 31 Teacher's Phone Call

31: Chapter 31 Teacher’s Phone Call 31: Chapter 31 Teacher’s Phone Call “I heard your last visitor didn’t come yesterday.

Does this cause you any psychological burden?”

A calm, gentle voice came from the front, one that could calm a person instantly.

A voice with such texture is naturally suited for being a psychological consultant.

Even if not a psychological consultant, being a voice-over streamer or ASMR artist would be great.

After hearing the question, Nan Zhubin shook his head and replied, “No, there’s no burden.”

“Then take a day off today, and organize the information of the visitors you have on hand,”

The supervisor’s office at Yan Nuo Psychological Consultation Center.

Weng Pinting looked at Nan Zhubin’s expression; after a night of rest, this young consultant had completely recovered.

But Weng Pinting is not a businesswoman.

As a consultant professionally trained, she knows not to overburden a consultant.

The workload of eight consultations in one day like yesterday, even once a fortnight is excessive, let alone every day.

Even if he wants to come, there aren’t enough consultation resources to assign to Nan Zhubin.

Other consultants would have opinions.

“Rest today, prepare and organize materials for clients who can be developed into cases, and make a good consultation plan.” Weng Pinting instructed.

“Also organize the consultations of the past few days; tomorrow we have a departmental meeting for communication purposes, and you can learn from each other.”

Weng Pinting smiled at this point.

…

Regular workers’ meetings are torture, punishment, a burnout of time and spirit.

But the consultation center’s meetings are different.

In a sense, they are even considered a perk.

A proper psychological consultant needs extensive technical training and case accumulation to take shape.

But consultation technique training fees often run into thousands; to earn money for training, consultants must first do consultations; but for consultations, they need to learn at least one technique, so they have to go to training first.

This creates a strange logical loop.

Many consultants are mired in this loop.

Due to technique scarcity, new consultants can only take on small marginal consultations, painstakingly saving money, wasting youth.

This is why it’s said that a true consultant takes shape after the age of thirty.

The consultation center’s communication meeting mentioned by Weng Pinting is a new attempt in the psychological consultation industry, a great way for consultants to break out of this logical loop.

This way allows consultants in the same office to sit together in meetings, sharing issues they encounter with clients and discussing solutions.

On one hand, through solutions offered by others, consultants can enrich their toolkit; on the other, through shared cases, they can build a repertoire, knowing how to handle similar clients in the future.

Although not as formal as proper skill training, it provides solid quality enhancements to consultants.

Not to mention having a top-level consultant like Weng Pinting host the meeting, which is like supervision for everyone.

Know that with Weng Pinting’s stature, her supervision fees outside are hourly!

Hence, every consultant, new or old, is eager to join the exchange meeting.

Nan Zhubin readily agreed: “I will properly organize my cases this morning.”

Weng Pinting nodded approvingly: “Your current conversion rate is the highest in the center.

Naturally, this may be because you’re new and in a…

ha, ‘beginner protection period’.”

Weng Pinting smiled, implying that the clients Nan Zhubin sees now are the “carefully selected” “high-quality clients” more likely to convert into cases.

Once you’ve worked longer and encounter more messy and odd clients, the conversion rate will decrease.

“But even excluding this factor, comparing your conversion rate to other newly joined consultants, you’re way ahead.”

Weng Pinting laughed: “Everyone is eager to hear how you handle consultations.”

Nan Zhubin gave a socially modest nod: “I also look forward to hearing everyone’s views and opinions, learning new experiences from other predecessors.”

This is genuinely how Nan Zhubin feels.

Exchange and learning lead to development.

Weng Pinting also smiled.

She suddenly thought of something: “Oh, in a while I will be doing a psychology lecture at Jiangdu University, and I’ll need an assistant.

Would you like to join?”

“Speaking of which, you were formerly from Jiangdu University, right?”

…

For the entire day, Nan Zhubin didn’t take any consultations.

On one hand, he was organizing consultation materials from the past few days.

On the other, he was considering whether to go with Weng Pinting to Jiangdu University for the lecture.

“You know, ‘I’ seemed to have been a student at Jiangdu University, only I got expelled…”

Nan Zhubin muttered like this and suddenly remembered something else.

“Chen Ting, who missed the consultation yesterday, isn’t she also from Jiangdu University?”

Ring ring ring—

The phone suddenly rang.

It was nine o’clock at night, rare for anyone to call Nan Zhubin at this time.

He looked down to see two words flashing on the display:

[Teacher]

Nan Zhubin raised an eyebrow, walked to the balcony, catching the wind and pressed the answer button.

“Teacher?”

A steady middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end: “Zhubin?”

“It’s me, teacher.”

Nan Zhubin replied.

The person on the phone was Nan Zhubin’s mentor during his school days.

Memory recalls him as a humorous, charming, and knowledgeable professor.

Aside from his education role, he also had various social standings outside campus, gaining much respect in the industry.

During his time at school, Nan Zhubin was always under his care.

Even after Nan Zhubin was expelled, the mentor specifically found him a job—what is now his consultancy role, although initially as a consultant assistant.

Giving the solitary Nan Zhubin a foothold in Jiangdu.

However, since Nan Zhubin’s expulsion, the mentor had not contacted him.

Why call all of a sudden today?

A voice came over the phone: “Zhubin, how have you been recently?”

“Counting the days, you should have been working for two days, right?

Anything unexpected?

Are you going to work well?”

“I am working, teacher.

Today was my third day, and I’m off now.”

“The third day?

Oh, um, I’m abroad now, there’s a time difference, I didn’t notice…”

A tone of apology came from the other side first, followed by a sigh of relief: “As long as you’re working properly.

You have the ability to independently consult, but now can only be an assistant.

I know you feel uncomfortable, but after ‘that’ incident, your current situation is tough.

I will help you explore and see if there’s a breakthrough opportunity.

With your talent, returning to the academy for further education would be the best.

Your company boss is an old friend of mine; I’ve asked him to take good care of you…”

Nan Zhubin calmly replied: “Actually, I am doing consultations now, I did eight hours yesterday.”

The other end paused significantly, then exclaimed in surprise: “Ah?

Didn’t I instruct them to let you be a consultant assistant?”
