Chapter 1025 - 785: First Group Meeting (2)
[Monthly Goal Completed]
Nan Zhubin took a deep breath, "I hope there will be some good rewards this month."
Ever since completing the EAP project at Tongping Software Technology, Nan Zhubin’s [Monthly Goal] hasn’t yielded anything good.
In fact, even before the EAP project ended, the rewards were already lacking. However, staying true to his principle of seeing things through to the end, Nan Zhubin completed the EAP project, ensuring all visitors were properly settled.
Afterwards, he began focusing on self-care.
Every month, he only conducts ten consultations to confirm if the [Monthly Goal] rewards meet his expectations.
Apart from that, Nan Zhubin focused his efforts on Chen Lizhou, helping stabilize the situation for this technical sales director.
According to Mo Kai’s feedback, Chen Lizhou had already left Tongping Software Company, and by leveraging the resources he once controlled, he founded a small company, significantly improving his living environment.
On the psychological consultation front, Chen Lizhou also completed case archiving, providing Nan Zhubin with an opportunity for [Psychological Skill Deepening].
Considering this [Psychological Skill Deepening], Nan Zhubin felt that although his psychological consultation system was stable, he needed to enhance his learning abilities for his upcoming graduate studies.
Hence, he chose to upgrade [Flow State·Basic].
[Flow State·Intermediate: Enter an ’Absolute Focus’ state towards current attention goals; during this state, mental activity is forcibly maintained at individual peak levels. Simultaneously, others focusing on the same goal are drawn into a secondary focus state.]
It’s a good skill.
Simply put, this technique has evolved from a personal skill into a domain aura. Now, when Nan Zhubin uses this skill, not only will he become more focused, but those around him who are thinking about the same problem or task will also become more focused.
"It indeed aligns with the theories of [Social Learning] and [Observational Learning]..." Nan Zhubin remarked.
In the same study room, seeing others working diligently and undistracted can sometimes naturally calm oneself and increase focus.
This near-skill technique reinforces that effect.
"The teacher should be very pleased!" Nan Zhubin couldn’t help but express, "No, it should be my senior sister who would be even happier."
With the jewel of [Flow State·Intermediate] in front, Nan Zhubin became even less interested in the [Monthly Goal] rewards of the following months.
"I wonder what the reward for this month is..."
Muttering to himself in his solitary environment, Nan Zhubin clicked on the subtitles.
[You received a [Psychological Ability Training] ]
[Charm (Eye Contact) +1]
"...Trash." Only disdain was in Nan Zhubin’s eyes.
...
In the office area, Mo Kai finally managed to escape the curious and glittering gazes of the consulting assistants by claiming unfinished work.
Just then, the visitor who had been contemplating in the break room also finished their deliberation.
"Hello... Are you Teacher Mo?" The visitor addressed Mo Kai with relative politeness.
Mo Kai managed his expression well, smiling, "Yes, hello. I just had a brief conversation with Teacher Nan..."
Before Mo Kai could finish, the visitor interrupted him.
"Yes, right, yes." Although there was no issue, the visitor made three consecutive affirmations and then said, "Actually, regarding the recent psychological consultation, I feel... like I didn’t get much help."
"To put it simply, I think the psychological consultation was different from what I imagined. Perhaps Teacher Nan is not quite suitable for me?"
This situation is normal. When a visitor has relatively deep-seated issues that require personal growth, the process is often not comfortable.
It might even be painful.
If a bone grows wrong, breaking it, straightening it, letting it regrow, that’s still a minor issue. Sometimes surgery might be needed to drain pus or remove bad tissue.
Mo Kai was about to explain.
"I remember your promotion mentioned that if one isn’t satisfied with the consultation, they can switch teachers, right?" The visitor lowered their head, "So... could I switch to another teacher for consultation? If possible, schedule it as soon as possible."
"And if possible, could I switch to a... female teacher?"
"Initially, I thought male teachers might empathize more with my issues, but now it seems... maybe I need a more sensitive female teacher."
Mo Kai: "..."
Seeing the visitor’s hesitance and hope, Mo Kai discreetly took a deep breath.
After managing his expressions well, he finally finished dealing with this visitor.
When Mo Kai returned near his workstation,
"Senior, awake?"
Nan Zhubin was already up, starting to pack his desk.
Mo Kai was used to Nan Zhubin’s routine of sleeping only ten minutes or less at a time, but today, Nan Zhubin glanced up at Mo Kai more than usual.
"Yeah, packing up, heading off," Nan Zhubin said, "You should head off too; our senior is already downstairs waiting for us."
The ’senior’ Nan Zhubin referred to was naturally Chonghui.
Mo Kai was taken aback.
"Did you forget?" Nan Zhubin slightly curled his lips, "Today is our first group meeting since joining."
"We’re preparing for the start of school."
Mo Kai suddenly realized.
Time passed faster than they anticipated.
It’s already the school season. Now both Nan Zhubin and Mo Kai have truly become graduate students under Bai Qinghua’s guidance at Beidu Normal University.
However, one lived long-term in a dormitory provided by Bai Qinghua within the campus, and the other was an undergraduate promoted directly from Beidu Normal University, so there wasn’t a tangible sense of starting school or registration.
The related formalities were already completed, just waiting for the school to start.
However, there were changes in Nan Zhubin’s life.
——His phone WeChat now had six new group chats.
The Psychology College year group, the Applied Psychology major group, the class group;
The Bai Qinghua research group, the smaller Applied Psychology direction group, and the research group sibling group without Bai Qinghua.
In the foreseeable future, more group chats will definitely appear in Nan Zhubin’s WeChat.
At this moment, the pinned research group chat displayed the last group message from Nan Zhubin.
[Basic and Applied Group]
[Bai Qinghua: 3:00 PM group meeting, orientation, everyone at school should attend.]
[Chonghui: Received.]
[Shi Qianqian: Okay.]
[Nan Zhubin: Received.]
[...]
[Mo Kai: Okay, received!]
Bai Qinghua’s notice was concise and clear.
From the name of this research group chat, it’s clear that Bai Qinghua primarily recruits graduate students in basic psychology and applied psychology.
Of course, even when these graduate students are admitted, they are only named disciples of the Outer Sect.
Mo Kai blinked, feeling annoyed, "Busy, forgot, busy, forgot..."
He then quickly and efficiently began packing his workstation, leaving early under the envious eyes of other consulting assistants, and hurried downstairs with Nan Zhubin.
Chonghui had been waiting in the car downstairs for some time; once both were seated, he hit the pedal—
"Hmm? Senior, I saw an internship recruitment post in the large group chat, the counselor said it’s quite valuable."
Mo Kai suddenly said while browsing his phone.
The "large group" he referred to was the Psychology College year group where any significant information intended for all students gets posted.
"It says the Beidu Normal University-affiliated Mental Health Center is recruiting interns, encouraging everyone to apply actively..."
Mo Kai seemed to have thought of something.
"Didn’t we recommend some serious visitors to go there for further help when we were doing the EAP at Tongping Software Company?"
