Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 157 - 155: Potential Trouble Ahead... Can It Be Turned into Assistance?

Chapter 157: Chapter 155: Potential Trouble Ahead... Can It Be Turned into Assistance?

The commotion inside the counseling room made the already tense crowd outside feel a tingle on their scalps.

"Mr. Nan!"

Mr. Hu rushed in immediately, followed closely by Weng Pinting.

Then, they saw the counseling room in its current state of disarray.

Inside was a woman who was startled and began to cry; and two men, one standing and one lying on the ground.

Lu Jia knew she couldn’t help, so when Mr. Hu opened the door, she turned around and ran to the office area to call for help. Soon, several young assistants and consultants followed her and came over together.

Thus, they saw the embarrassing scene inside the counseling room together with Mr. Hu and Weng Pinting.

"..."

Nan Zhubin fell silent for a moment, looking at Mr. Hu and Weng Pinting, his face softened for a moment.

This gentleness was fleeting and quickly turned into seriousness, even sternness.

Afterward, Nan Zhubin, who was standing, pointed at Dr. Chen, who was groaning on the ground.

"Can you lend a hand?"

...

Nan Zhubin said lightly, "The situation at that moment was indeed quite urgent."

"It seems my emotional intelligence was lacking, and what I said obviously upset Dr. Chen, provoking him to try to punch me."

When he spoke of this, Nan Zhubin felt thankful yet somewhat troubled, "I’m younger than him and reacted more quickly, so I instinctively dodged backward."

"Unwilling to give up, he stood up and stepped directly onto the couch, seemingly trying to leap over and hit me again."

"But he underestimated the height of the coffee table in front, so he tripped and fell to the ground. This action knocked the things on the table down with him, which scared his wife and made her start screaming."

"In short, the scene at that moment was indeed a bit chaotic. Listening from outside the door, it was quite frightening indeed."

Looking at Weng Pinting, Lu Jia, and Mr. Hu before him.

Nan Zhubin explained quietly.

"I’m very sorry for causing trouble for everyone because of me." he said.

In the face of Nan Zhubin’s apology, Mr. Hu shrugged, and Lu Jia waved her hands repeatedly.

As long as no one was hurt, it’s fine.

About "causing trouble" and such...

Weng Pinting sighed, "This matter is indeed troublesome, it’s hard to say to Old Howard, you indeed have to bear some responsibility, after all... on the company level, there needs to be an explanation."

This statement wasn’t very considerate.

But Nan Zhubin expressed understanding, "Just hope I haven’t caused too much trouble."

After all, it was because of him that the visitor’s family was brought in, resulting in physical conflict in a work setting and damage to the company’s property.

Fortunately, there were no other visitors disturbed during the consultation, and Dr. Chen and his wife were people Nan Zhubin had contact with before joining.

Otherwise, no matter how Howard chose to punish, Nan Zhubin would have had to accept it.

...

Punishment is the boss’s business, the consultation supervisor still wanted to comfort the subordinate.

Seeing emotion appearing on Nan Zhubin’s face, rare yet it was [self-blame].

Weng Pinting jokingly lightened the mood, "Centers like ours all have similar contingency plans, this time can be seen as taking your opportunity to verify the plan’s feasibility, so you’ve contributed somewhat."

Mr. Hu also smiled, "Maybe in the future we’ll all owe you for this occasion."

...

This was somewhat like a joke, but it was also serious.

A psychological consultant often encounters some degree of "medical trouble": besides the visitor’s family, there are also some violent, paranoid, antisocial personality disorder visitors who might cause personal harm to the psychological consultant.

Thus the center prepares corresponding emergency plans to intervene in similar situations in a timely manner to protect the consultant.

Of course, apart from the consultant, at times, these plans are also used to prevent visitors from harming themselves.

For example, this time, Dr. Chen, who took injurious actions against Nan Zhubin, was immediately restrained and sent away.

...

"Do we need to call the police?" Weng Pinting suddenly asked.

Nan Zhubin shook his head, "No need, I observed Dr. Chen’s expression, and similar situations shouldn’t happen again."

Weng Pinting unexpectedly said, "Are you sure this isn’t an erroneous judgment influenced by [overblaming]?"

Nan Zhubin paused, deliberately making a face of memory and reflection.

After three or four breaths, he explained, "No, that punch at that time was an outburst of his accumulated anger to the limit; in other words, it was a result of a momentary impulse, not a premeditated planned revenge."

After glancing at Weng Pinting’s expression, Nan Zhubin added, "And it’s also because what I said lacked some emotional intelligence. If my response was more appropriate, maybe this accident wouldn’t have occurred..."

During Nan Zhubin’s speech, Weng Pinting was constantly watching his expression.

After she confirmed she saw what she wanted, she casually said, "This is your matter, follow your own decision."

The implication was respect for Nan Zhubin’s choice. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But with her experience, she added, "However, if possible, you’d better preserve some evidence. If in the future, some troubles emerge that no one wants to see, it might come in handy."

"Evidence?"

Nan Zhubin pondered, shaking his head, "There are no surveillance recordings in the counseling room, nor do I have audio recordings..."

Lu Jia immediately raised her hand, "The reception hall has surveillance, which should have recorded the two of them coming in and later being escorted out. That Dr. Chen even punched the security guard at the time, very aggressive—would this be helpful?"

Weng Pinting nodded towards Lu Jia as a sign of "Well done," and added, "Regardless of its usefulness, it’s good to be prepared."

...

By this point, the incident triggered by Dr. Chen has been almost entirely dealt with.

Only two things still needed Nan Zhubin’s attention.

The first being the current situation—even though Dr. Chen retreated this time, and Nan Zhubin didn’t lie to Weng Pinting and the others, Dr. Chen wouldn’t intentionally harm Nan Zhubin afterward.

But there’s one point Nan Zhubin didn’t tell Weng Pinting, and that is another possibility he saw in Dr. Chen–paranoid.

This time, indeed, Dr. Chen didn’t cause harm to Nan Zhubin.

However, the aggression Dr. Chen directed toward Nan Zhubin didn’t disappear.

In a certain sense, if that punch had landed solidly on Nan Zhubin, it might have been better; because physical violence can awaken the conscience of a "high moralist," causing them to feel something akin to "I was just very angry, but I didn’t really mean to hurt him," thus eliminating future targeting and attacks.

This is also a sort of "A gentleman can be deceived with honesty."
