Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

On the third repetition, as the echoed voices faded, Nan Zhubin lifted his hand in a light pressing motion.

The employees’ voices gradually died down.

The people offstage might not have felt anything concrete, but from his vantage point on the stage, Nan Zhubin could clearly take in the entire venue, and the sense of division that had emerged within it.

This was within Nan Zhubin’s expectations.

The final "guided emotional expression" was fundamentally different from the earlier "grounding training" and so on.

It was more targeted.

But precisely because of that, not everyone could be healed by it.

Nan Zhubin paid no mind to the sense of fracture in the conference room.

He went on, "All right, up to here, our psychological counseling segment has come to an end. Whether you were able to follow along completely or not, whether you felt anything real or not, it’s all fine. The core of this exercise is to learn to release emotions gently; there’s no need to chase perfection."

"If you deliberately chase results, you’ll just end up needing a new round of counseling again."

He paused, letting his gaze slowly sweep the room.

...

For some reason, seeing the state Nan Zhubin was in now, Boss Wang suddenly felt inexplicably nervous down below the stage.

When Nan Zhubin said "the psychological counseling segment has come to an end," Boss Wang had actually already prepared himself to go up, smooth the transition, and steer the current all-hands meeting into the next phase.

But watching Nan Zhubin, he showed no intention of stepping down.

The psychological counseling part was over, what else did Nan Zhubin still have to do?

Was there some other segment that wasn’t "psychological counseling" per se, but could still play a therapeutic role?

Uneasy, Boss Wang glanced at the man in the suit beside him, only to find that, unlike the previous few times, the other party wasn’t looking at him; instead, he was quietly talking to the people next to him, every now and then pointing at some of the employees in the back, gesturing at something.

...

While Boss Wang’s mind was surging down below, Nan Zhubin remained steady onstage and continued.

"The core reason we’re gathered here today is to help everyone vent the pent‑up frustration in your hearts, ease the pressure on your bodies, so you can face your emotions head‑on and also learn how to live with them."

"Our psychological counseling segment is over. From the professional perspective of Psychological Consultation, what we—" Nan Zhubin pointed to himself, "—are able to do has already come to an end."

If there’s a "has," then there is bound to be a "but."

Everyone present knew that a turn was coming in what Nan Zhubin said next.

"But I want to tell everyone something real. Through my many years of psychological consulting work, I’ve come to understand one very important point."

Nan Zhubin suddenly raised his voice, even sounding somewhat rousing: "A lot of the time, when we feel bad inside or our state is off, of course there are issues of our own."

"But the environment we’re in, the situations we face, also place huge amounts of invisible pressure on us."

Words like these are, of course, very easy to resonate with.

In fact, in many cases, this kind of "it’s the environment’s fault" line of thinking is a form of Positive Attention with extremely broad applicability.

The middle managers who had just been making absurd, comical faces during the guided emotional expression exercise now unconsciously showed the same expressions as the employees in the back rows.

"So today, we not only have to learn how to adjust our own mindset and alleviate our own discomfort, we must also understand this—faced with external hardships, we have the right, and even more, we need to learn to change the environment and to defend our own rights."

As soon as this sentence landed, some people’s faces in the audience changed drastically.

When he finished speaking, Nan Zhubin raised his hand and pointed at the big screen, his voice carrying through the microphone across the hall: "On that basis, we are no longer speaking to you as ’Psychological Consultants,’ but as the ’Employee Assistance Program project team.’ Please open the last module on the page on your phones."

"In the past period, our Employee Assistance Program project team has already carried out a company‑wide survey. Based on the results, we summed up several major problems colleagues have encountered; and in response to the environmental factors causing these issues, we’ve compiled several pieces of related legal common sense to help everyone—"

Mo Kai swiftly switched the slides, revealing a huge QR code.

The faint, fragmented sounds of fingers sliding on screens rose at once. This time, the contrast in the conference room was especially stark.

Most of the employees in the back rows immediately pulled up the corresponding page, their eyes showing a certain seriousness; the managers sitting toward the front, after entering the module, relaxed, their fingers casually swiping twice without even really looking at the text on the screen; the experienced employees in the middle, with slightly higher ranks but not in management, huddled together, whispering.

Boss Wang looked left and right, then took a deep breath and scanned the code to enter. With just one glance, he couldn’t help but hold his breath.

Compared with the previous modules, this one was densely packed with text, roughly divided into three blocks; each block had a bolded title at the top.

The title of the first block was: "According to the Labor Contract Law, when an employer lays off employees, they must either give 30 days’ written notice in advance, or pay one month’s wages in lieu of notice."

Beneath this relatively colloquial title was rigorously laid‑out legal text, not only in writing but accompanied by corresponding images.

The title of the second block was: "’Last‑place elimination’ is not legally equivalent to ’incompetence at work.’ If a company relies solely on last‑place elimination as a reason, it cannot use that as a direct legal basis for dismissal."

Below it was again dense text and images.
