Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 369: Chapter 366: Getting Off Work and Going to Work

Seeing Chonghui’s somewhat confused expression, Nan Zhubin felt even more embarrassed inside.

It’s quite amusing when you think about it.

Up until today, Nan Zhubin finally managed to settle things with Wang Rui and Vice Principal Ma.

But the important task that required Chonghui to make the special trip from Beidu to Jiang Yizhong, that project, conversely, hasn’t seen much progress.

Not only that, but now Nan Zhubin is also expressing the intention to withdraw.

Nan Zhubin added, "Senior, Chang Ming contacted me yesterday, hoping I could do consultation interventions for Xu Pengcheng—so for this project about collecting data on Emotion Induction for the whole school, I might not be much help most of the time."

"You’ll have to handle it on your own."

Chonghui: "???"

Yes.

Although Nan Zhubin didn’t get the job of conducting a psychological assessment for Xu Pengcheng.

But Xu Pengcheng will definitely need to undergo psychological consultation interventions later on.

For this type of work, the people at the Health Commission don’t have much time to spare.

So, as is the old rule, they bring in an expert for outsourcing.

After considering multiple factors, the task naturally fell on Nan Zhubin again.

In other words, Nan Zhubin now has to conduct a psychological consultation intervention for both Xu Pengcheng and Li Minglu once a week each.

But even so, it’s just two hours a week for Nan Zhubin.

Including preparation time outside the consultations, it might be within twelve hours.

And there are quite a few twelve-hour spans in a week.

Regarding this, Nan Zhubin added, "I have to do consultations for all the students in Xu Pengcheng’s sports team—all students."

Chonghui blinked.

...

The same issue as before.

Although Wang Rui has already been detained, and Vice Principal Ma is now overwhelmed with his own issues.

The students have also got a new good coach.

External pressures on them have mostly dissipated.

But the psychological impact already caused won’t disappear so quickly.

It might even be said, it might not, will not, disappear.

Firstly, the students still live under the high pressure of the third year of high school, so the anxiety-related symptoms they already have will persist.

This keeps them in a state of constant tension, making it difficult to be rational and introspective.

Secondly, for deeper issues of "guilt from being forced to bully" and "cognitive distortion from being forced to bully to actively bullying," consultant intervention is definitely needed.

If you look at it in the short term, it will interfere with the students’ recent study and training states, affecting the college entrance exam.

In the long term, it could potentially evolve into a traumatic event, posing a hazard to their future psychological health and personality stability.

These effects can’t be avoided, not even by Lin Junkai, who is currently in the best situation.

Right now, it’s also the best time for intervention.

Regarding this situation, Teacher Xiao Zhao at the school indicated that it was beyond their professional capability range, so they had to turn to Nan Zhubin for help.

Nan Zhubin gladly agreed.

The only victim was Chonghui.

"So, it means that for the Emotion Monitoring System project, most of the time I have to do it alone in the future?"

Chonghui confirmed this with Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin embarrassedly nodded: "I’ll also come to help when I can, just... maybe not very often."

"And Teacher Xiao Zhao will definitely be there to assist you," Chonghui felt a bit miffed, "This back and forth, it’s like I’m short of two people."

This involves an entire high school worth of students.

Especially since Jiang Yizhong is an old-fashioned high school with a large student base.

In the past, such projects were usually carried out by a PhD leading several first and second-year grad students. This time, because they knew Jiangdu had the highly recommended Nan Zhubin by Bai Qinghua, the research team sent Chonghui here alone.

And in the current situation...

The work that "Chonghui + Nan Zhubin + Teacher Xiao Zhao" could finish in two weeks...

If Chonghui does it alone, it may not even be done in a month.

But finally, Chonghui just sighed: "Forget it, when does your consultation start?"

"Scheduled for the morning, about an hour later."

The senior shook his head, smiled nonchalantly: "Well, go prepare then, you don’t have to worry about here."

After all, it’s to do consultations for the students.

Nan Zhubin smiled apologetically, just then Teacher Xiao Zhao knocked and came in, inviting Nan Zhubin to prep for the consultation together.

Watching their figures disappear from sight, Chonghui sighed.

Ding-dong—ding-dong—

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello, senior sister?"

The call was from Weng Pinting.

"Project progress..." Chonghui grimaced, "There’s a new situation on my end now."

Listening to Chonghui’s explanation, Weng Pinting on the other end sounded a little helpless.

"Forget it, it’s something this little junior brother of ours can manage," Weng Pinting reassured, "You really have to work a bit harder."

"That’s the only way." Chonghui sighed, hanging up the phone.

Now he’s set to face over a month’s rush work alone.

He wasn’t in a hurry anymore.

"Thinking about it, this is also my first time in Jiangdu." Chonghui suddenly mused, "Anyway, there’s plenty of time, might as well take a day off... a few days off and go out to explore and have fun."

"Accommodation is covered by Senior Sister, and future papers will have the junior brother’s help, shouldn’t need to hurry..."

Ding-dong—ding-dong—

Suddenly, Chonghui’s phone rang again.

"Hello, teacher?"

Chonghui’s expression turned a bit more serious.

"Oh... the project, teacher, we’ve had a bit of an issue here, couldn’t find the chance to communicate with your side..."

Chonghui spoke concisely, and then heard a series of inquiries from the other end.

"Continuing the project now, it’ll probably take at least a month."

A troubled voice came from the other end.

"Ah, this year’s postgraduate recommendation review started? After that... besides the recommendation, there are a few more meetings." Chonghui was suddenly startled and quickly responded, "Teacher, I really can’t return in the short term."

"How about this, let Qian Qian handle it this year. Last year, I was the one who led her; she’s very smart, it’s time for her to take charge, and there are several master’s students below to help..."

"Yes, yes... If any issues arise, she can just call me," Chonghui assured seriously.

The other end reluctantly agreed.

Whew.

"Oh, right teacher, there’s one more thing." Chonghui took a deep breath.

"Teacher, the trip originally scheduled for about two weeks will now be extended to over a month, so regarding the budget, do you think we could..."

The other end paused for a moment, but fortunately, it agreed.

"Okay then, goodbye teacher!"

Ending the call, the 1.9-meter muscular doctoral student beamed a genuine smile.

"Hehe, off work~"

...

As Chonghui left Jiang Yizhong,

Nan Zhubin also formally entered the consultation room.

However, today’s consultation room was somewhat different.
