On the contrary, if the initial impulse is released, but the release does not cause the imagined harm.
Then this hostility may take root instead.
Then it germinates in the dark, grows, and waits for nourishment.
Therefore, Nan Zhubin can almost be certain: Dr. Chen will definitely take action again.
By that time, my troubles will definitely exceed today’s.
This is the brilliance of Lin Lulin’s move of "using a borrowed knife to kill."
First, is the most ideal situation. If Dr. Chen’s Qi Cultivation Technique is insufficient, it might actually physically resolve Nan Zhubin in the consultation room, completely eliminating this unsettling factor.
Second, is the current situation. Although Dr. Chen couldn’t settle it once and for all, he can cause continuous trouble for Nan Zhubin afterward. This will constantly divert Nan Zhubin’s energy, preventing him from paying attention to matters at Jiang University—while Nan Zhubin can only react passively.
In addition, there is a third way.
This third point is also a judgment made by Weng Pinting prior to her own assessment, one based on psychological perspective.
Because only those deeply versed in psychology have the confidence to engage in such psychological schemes.
——If Nan Zhubin truly has trauma, just brief interaction with Dr. Chen and his wife can bring forth a recurrence, a re-experience of the trauma, rendering him psychologically incapacitated.
And what measures does Nan Zhubin have in response?
"Do you now want to go to Jiang University even more and deal with Lin Lulin?"
This question exploded in Nan Zhubin’s ear, and the young consultant realized he involuntarily showed a contemplative expression.
He looked up at Weng Pinting, who asked the question.
Nan Zhubin knew that his recent distraction was enough for an experienced psychological consultant to predict his thoughts, so he nodded without concealment.
"Yes, when encountering a problem, besides reacting passively, a better method is to directly resolve the person causing the problem."
Weng Pinting glanced at Nan Zhubin, showing an expression of "as expected."
But she surprisingly didn’t refute immediately; instead, she frowned and genuinely considered it along Nan Zhubin’s lines of reasoning.
Unfortunately, after a few breaths, Weng Pinting still shook her head.
"Your current situation makes it even less advisable to go to Jiang University. It’s inherently a dangerous place for you, and your current way of thinking might cause you to overlook some obvious dangers."
"I insist on my judgment; you must diligently check in during working hours from now on."
However, Weng Pinting clearly thought about more than just this.
"Of course, this time, Lin Lulin indeed went a bit too far, using such insidious tactics not targeting just you alone but our ’Yan Nuo Consultation Center’ and myself, stationed at ’Yan Nuo Consultation Center’."
Weng Pinting waved her hand grandly and said, "Do you think I’m able to support a new consultation center under a single name just for nothing? Just wait, a few phone calls from me, and he’ll be in deep trouble!"
Weng Pinting was indeed trying to divert Nan Zhubin’s attention.
Similar to "See, I’ve already given him a lesson, so you don’t need to deal with him yourself."
However, her intentions were good; she wished to protect Nan Zhubin this way.
This also meant Weng Pinting intended to use her own resources to shoulder the aftermath of Dr. Chen and even Lin Lulin for Nan Zhubin.
Perhaps because of analyzing Weng Pinting’s thoughts for too long, Nan Zhubin’s facial expression didn’t reveal what the female supervisor wanted to see.
Weng Pinting quickly patted Nan Zhubin’s shoulder again, seemingly slightly worried about leaving Nan Zhubin alone to think for too long.
With heartfelt advice, the consulting supervisor said:
"The current matters have surpassed your level, don’t worry, worrying is useless. You need to consider other issues——"
"——for example, after causing ’trouble’ for the center, how do you think old Howard will punish you?"
Psychology is the study of people.
And people are exceedingly complex.
Many believe psychology is "mind reading," but this "mind reading" can actually be decoded scientifically.
All scientific research essentially involves "summarizing" and "predicting."
The "I know what you’re thinking" type of mind reading.
Is actually "I saw you show this reaction, so I know what you’re thinking."
Or "I’ve seen others show your current reaction in the past, so I know what’s on your mind."
Or even "I’ve seen you and others show a few similar reactions. Once I gather more information to narrow it down, I’ll know what’s on your mind."
In conclusion, it’s an accumulation of experience.
Currently, Howard, in front of Nan Zhubin, slightly stepped out of Nan Zhubin’s "summary" scope, evolving towards "prediction."
Nan Zhubin originally thought that, given the situation with Dr. Chen’s visit, Howard would definitely impose some penalty.
However, Howard merely patted Nan Zhubin’s shoulder and asked, "Xiao Nan, you weren’t hurt, were you?"
"That’s good. This incident was an unwelcome disaster. Rest assured, everything’s fine."
Nan Zhubin blinked and nodded.
Afterward, Howard showed an expression akin to slight embarrassment, "I heard your supervisor suggested calling the police? What do you think?"
"Right not to report." Howard pounded the table. "Fewer problems the better, given the situation, as parents, you understand it, Xiao Nan."
"I know you’ve been wronged; I’ll give you a few days off to thoroughly rest. Rest assured; the company will manage fine without you."
Nine out of ten things feel off.
Just like earlier, outside Weng Pinting’s office, Howard encountered Nan Zhubin in a fit of rage yet forcibly suppressed his anger.
Howard’s reaction, then and now, both exceeded Nan Zhubin’s previous "summaries" of Howard, completely inconsistent with the behavior standard Nan Zhubin established for Howard.
Could it be due to Nan Zhubin’s good performance?
But it shouldn’t be, psychological consultation has its limits here, even if Nan Zhubin performs well, it’s not like he’s a sales champion who can single-handedly support a company.
For someone at Hu’s level, though their individual performance might not match Nan Zhubin’s, two seasoned consultants together would definitely be enough.
Especially with Weng Pinting at the top.
So why is Howard so lenient with him these past few days?
This question didn’t occupy Nan Zhubin’s mind for long.
