Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!
Chapter 237 - 235: Lin Lulin’s Grand Occasion

Chapter 237: Chapter 235: Lin Lulin’s Grand Occasion

Lin Lulin weakly pressed against his chest, only feeling a faint pain still lingering there. When he focused his attention on it, he could even sense the kick that had hit him there.

Theoretically, with his current physical condition, staying at home and resting in bed would be the best.

Unfortunately—

"Teacher, could you please show me your participation badge?" the student volunteer in front of him asked softly.

Lin Lulin nodded, reached into his pocket, and fumbled around.

At this moment, Lin Lulin stood at the entrance of "Mingde Hall" at Jiangdu University.

Mingde Hall, with such an educationally significant name, is typically used at Jiangdu University to host special grand events such as the president’s welcoming speech for freshmen, indoor galas, and important academic conferences.

At this time, the banner for the "China Psychological Consultation Supervision Conference" was hanging right above Mingde Hall, with a large display board printed below.

From the school gate all the way here, there were directional signs along the road to ensure that attendees from all over the country could reach here smoothly.

Similarly, such a large-scale conference required the recruitment of a large number of volunteers and strict training.

For this reason, even Lin Lulin, who is highly respected at his school, could only bear the pain in his chest and take out his participation badge from his pocket to hand it over to the student volunteer.

[I should have taken more painkillers... No, I can’t take too much of that stuff, it’s addictive.]

Lin Lulin warned himself in his heart.

"Thank you." The well-trained student thanked Lin Lulin for his cooperation and then asked with concern, "Teacher... Are you okay? Do you need help?"

Lin Lulin waved his hand: "No need, my student is inside."

He also gave the student volunteer an encouraging smile and said meaningfully, "You’ve worked hard. Make sure to check the participation qualifications properly."

After saying this, he no longer looked at the student’s reaction, as if he had completed a task, and just looked up once more at the gilded words "Mingde Hall" at the top of the auditorium, stepping into the conference venue.

Today was very important for him.

...

"This is important, this presentation includes video materials, so we need to allow plenty of time for it..."

"Understood. Anyway, your turn is last in the morning, even if you go a little overtime, it will only take up break time, no problem."

Hearing the response from the student opposite, Huang Xin nodded.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone call "Xiao Huang," causing him to shiver involuntarily.

"Teacher!" He greeted towards the voice’s direction, "You’re here."

Lin Lulin walked over with small steps, looked at Huang Xin suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

Huang Xin gave a sheepish smile, "It’s such a big event, I’m still a bit nervous."

For Huang Xin’s graduate school career, it was his first time attending such a large-scale conference gathering national elites.

Very reasonable.

Lin Lulin looked around, "Where’s Xiao Liu?"

Huang Xin pointed not far away, "His dad is socializing with him."

The supervision conference isn’t an academic meeting; quite the opposite—involving psychological consultation, it carries a heavy commercial nature compared to purely psychology conferences.

Therefore, besides the Psychological Association’s chairman, directors, professors from major colleges, and personnel sent by other administrative units like hospitals for learning, the management of major psychological consultation organizations also came to attend the meeting.

They can offer important student internship positions, graduate employment positions, research collaboration projects, and research funding.

Following Huang Xin’s direction, Lin Lulin indeed saw Liu Pan’s father engaging in conversation inside, and with his position as a primary attending physician in psychiatry, he seemed to be quite at ease in there.

[This guy actually arrived so early.] Lin Lulin couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

He also noticed Howard had slipped in. It wasn’t clear where this person had managed to get a participation badge from.

"Hmm..." Lin Lulin hesitated for a moment, then told Huang Xin, "Once I finish my report, I’ll take you around to ask. Maybe we can find you an internship position, and if you work hard, you might be directly employed after graduation."

Huang Xin blinked.

He replied in a tone that was excited but not overly so due to nerves, "Thank you, teacher!"

Lin Lulin nodded, then looked at the student volunteer who was just now coordinating the schedule with Huang Xin.

Their position was in the first row, where besides all the school leaders and important officials, there were also seats for the host and key staff.

The student volunteer had a laptop in front of him, responsible for the scholars’ and supervisors’ presentation operations, essentially an "important staff" role.

Lin Lulin realized he didn’t recognize him; probably he wasn’t from the Psychology College. But then he reasoned that for such a nationwide conference, the school would definitely recruit student leaders from across the campus, estimating that this must be a student council leader or a graduate student who got the opportunity through a professor or advisor connection.

He glanced at the name on the student’s participation badge and gently spoke: "Student Xiao Zhuang—yes?"

The volunteer nodded.

"What’s the order for today? What are the processes?"

The volunteer, who had just informed Huang Xin about the process, decided to respectfully and courteously repeat everything since the one inquiring now was a professor.

"As for the conference order, it starts with the president’s speech, followed by the chairman of the association, and I just received notification that there’s also a representative from a psychological enterprise. After that, it’s the teachers’ turn."

"You are the last report of the morning, beginning approximately at eleven o’clock."

"Your submitted order includes a case sharing and a live operation. After coordinating with the psychological center, we’ve arranged a student volunteer to assist with the live operation part — her name is Zhang Lu."

The volunteer was well-versed with the process, certainly deserving of the important role at such an occasion.

"In the afternoon, there will be selected representative consultants sharing cases. Among them, the second consultant is one you supervise, so you need to provide supervisory comments on their case on the spot, scheduled for three-thirty in the afternoon..."

Lin Lulin nodded, ensuring it matched what he had learned.

Nothing could go wrong.

So he instructed Huang Xin, "You and this Student Zhuang should communicate well, rehearse the presentation playback for when I report. I’ll be gone for a while."

After saying this, he didn’t look at Huang Xin, turning around and walking away.

Being a senior professor who had his own psychological clinic outside of school, a seasoned pro at applying psychological techniques in life, Lin Lulin could navigate such environments with ease.

"I heard Professor Lin also has his own psychological clinic?" A senior sent by an enterprise asked.

Lin Lulin nodded, "It’s a collaboration with Doctor Liu. Maybe in the future, we can exchange more on case work and consultant training."

A huge social setting is perfect for establishing connections.

This is also why Lin Lulin came today despite his physical ailment.

For a moment, it felt as if the pain in his chest that originally required suppressing with painkillers wasn’t even there.

It was also at this time that he suddenly heard a series of greetings around him: "Director Xia!"

"Director Xia is here."

"Is this your daughter? She’s grown so big!"

"I heard she’s also at Jiangde? An outstanding student from the law school."
