Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 287: Chapter 285: Senior Brother Decides to Follow Junior Brother’s Lead

The short man, pushed by Nan Zhubin, walked towards the place where Chang Ming was, like a puppet being pulled by strings.

Soon, a low voice of discussion came from the room, among which were a few high-pitched comments from the student’s parents.

Chonghui walked over to Nan Zhubin.

He looked at Nan Zhubin again with a much more serious gaze.

Nan Zhubin was so familiar with this situation that he didn’t flinch, skillfully showing a polite smile without speaking.

After a while, Chonghui squeezed out a sentence: "Were the things you mentioned, guesses?"

"Which ones?"

"The series of reactions like throat, pupils, and nostrils."

Chonghui’s expression was complex; although he studied [micro expressions], he had human eyes which could only catch large body movements like [nodding] to the extent.

What Nan Zhubin said exceeded his imagination.

Subconsciously, Chonghui took Nan Zhubin’s statement as a psychological trick in negotiation.

He looked at Nan Zhubin expectantly, hoping the other would affirm his answer.

"No, brother, I really can see it." Nan Zhubin maintained a polite smile and replied.

Chonghui was silent for a moment, subconsciously unwilling to believe it.

But—

Suddenly, the faces of Weng Pinting and Bai Qinghua flashed back in his mind.

Then, he was elated.

"No wonder senior sister praised you so highly, and the teacher preemptively recruited you into the team from Jiangdu..." Chonghui realized.

The thinking of scientific researchers accepts anomalies quickly.

Confirmed by his eyes, he was indeed a talent who defied reasoning.

But Chonghui didn’t feel defeated or jealous; instead, he was excited.

Because, in the domain of psychology, a talent like this not only serves as powerful immediate force in projects and practice.

In scientific research, he can be used as a research subject!

This means the production of a vast amount of valuable research data and corresponding core articles!

[This is much more precious than some so-called genius in a decade or twenty years!]

[The teacher is wise!]

[Publishing articles, graduating smoothly, being sponsored to study abroad, bringing in talent, and taking a teaching position—the path ahead is bright!]

Chonghui’s gaze at Nan Zhubin suddenly burned with intensity.

If previously he was still treating Nan Zhubin with the care of an elder brother to a younger one.

Now, Chonghui treated Nan Zhubin with the same respect as one would have for a precious experimental subject like a lab mouse, a rhesus monkey, a brain-machine elder, or an MRI ancestor!

Honestly, even Nan Zhubin felt such a level of fervent gaze for the first time.

With Nan Zhubin’s tolerance, he actually felt a bit uncomfortable for a moment.

Fortunately, before Chonghui’s gaze evolved to actually burn someone—

"Creak..."

The short and tall ones hurriedly came out from the student’s bedroom.

The short one in the lead was flushed, striding closer and forcefully slapped the assessment report just written on Nan Zhubin’s chest.

He seemed to want to say something harsh to save face, but in the end, he held back out of fear.

"Bang!"

The room door slammed shut, and the two disappeared inside the room.

Chang Ming also slowly sauntered out from behind Nan Zhubin and the others.

"Seems like you all have reached a discussion result..."

Chang Ming seemed completely uninterested in knowing what Nan Zhubin and Chonghui said to the short man,

He genuinely seemed only to care about the result.

Pointing to Nan Zhubin and Chonghui, Chang Ming explained to the doubtful-looking student’s parent coming out from behind:

"These two are also experts we invited, if you, Sister Li, cannot accept the assessment report just given by Teacher Yang and the others, perhaps you can try seeing the evaluation of these two expert teachers..."

The "Sister Li" mentioned by Chang Ming is the student’s parent.

At this moment, she was scrutinizing Nan Zhubin and Chonghui with a dubious eye.

No matter how dull one might be, they could probably read something from the little chaos just now.

"Director Chang, not to say, our family’s Acheng’s issue has been overturned numerous times, can’t you give a definitive answer?" Sister Li’s voice habitually rose, "The report given by the two teachers just now was not viable, so if one is not viable, you switch to another one, now bringing these two... expert teachers to grind us? What will be given this time?"

"You wouldn’t want to fool me, this won’t do!"

Sister Li has already lost the polite and courteous facade she forced at the room door, and dissatisfaction was evident.

Clearly, she had lost trust in Chang Ming, and the department behind him.

This distrust also spread to Nan Zhubin and Chonghui.

Sister Li looked at Nan Zhubin and Chonghui, arms akimbo: "Can you provide a proper proof for our Acheng?"

If it were a Psychological Consultation, this sort of inherent distrust before starting with the visitor’s family was undoubtedly tricky.

Moreover, hearing from this parent’s situation, seems like there’re additional motives. It’s not some genuine assessment, but wanting "proof"?

A bit tricky.

Chonghui glanced at Nan Zhubin, stepped forward and took on the parent’s gaze:

"Sister Li—right?"

Chonghui smiled politely: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Chong, a psychology PhD from Beidu Normal University, I specially came after receiving Director Chang’s invitation; beside me here is Mr. Nan, who graduated with a psychology master’s degree from Jiangdu University."

The first step of self-introduction displays professional qualifications, including education, thus forming the basis for building trust. This carries a certain level of impact on families focused on college entrance exams.

"We’ve already looked through Li’s information, roughly understanding the problem. I believe the situation is not easy for Sister Li, and we are vehemently hoping to help resolve this current deadlock you’re facing."

The second step involves a certain amount of [Empathy] and [Support], closing the distance between both parties, easing tense atmosphere.

"Regardless, since we’re here, conducting assessment conversation with Li is a necessary procedure. We don’t know what kind of ’proof’ you hope from Sister Li, but, both Mr. Nan and I are professional psychological consultants, and at least after conversing, we can make Li feel somewhat better, right?"

This is the last third step. Through irreversible official procedures, gently presenting reasonable demands.

This could be considered a softer persuasion method.

If this doesn’t work, perhaps resorting to Chang Ming’s official authority would be necessary to press down.

Luckily.

"Previously, several experts came saying it’s an assessment, after talking, Acheng had no changes."

Sister Li turned and murmured: "Experts from Beidu and Jiang University, hope to be a bit different..."

Then she turned towards the kitchen, sound of water pouring came from inside.

Chonghui turned back and smiled at Nan Zhubin.

They finally got to meet their assessment subject.

"Junior."

Chonghui leaned closer to Nan Zhubin, slightly tilted his head and whispered: "Heard from senior sister, you’re particularly interested in counseling and have unique skills?"

"Psychological assessment and psychological consultation aren’t quite the same, this is a rare opportunity for exercise—why not let you be the leader this time, while I watch over the process beside you, how about it?"

"Rest assured, if there’s any problem, I’ll promptly remind you."
