Chapter 149: Chapter 147: Let’s go to a small tavern another day... or maybe not.

At this moment, Shen Bing didn’t think much, he hadn’t realized his own emotional changes.

He just felt a little rascal scratching at his heart.

It was like someone wrapped strawberries, pineapples, and durians together in dumplings, cooked them right in front of him, ate them, and then blew a breath in his face while giving him a little wave of the hand.

"Mr. Nan." Shen Bing took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Has something happened again? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Watching the usually calm Nan Zhubin uncharacteristically show visible anger, Shen Bing suddenly felt a bit of a shared enemy mentality.

[Emotion Rebalancing]

However, Nan Zhubin suddenly calmed down.

"Oh, it’s nothing." Nan Zhubin said lightly, "I just suddenly remembered to revisit the storyline, that’s all."

Hearing this.

Shen Bing felt like the flame in his heart had been suddenly coldly blown out.

Nan Zhubin smiled, got up, patted Shen Bing’s shoulder, and walked towards the pantry.

Leaving Shen Bing standing there, perplexed and disconnected because of the emotional incongruity.

[I don’t know why, but I suddenly got a bit angry just now.]

It was genuine, sincere anger.

[But clearly, there was nothing from Mr. Nan’s words that should make me angry. Who cares whether their consultations are formal or whether they value the visitors?]

[Could it be because I’ve been following the highly professional Nan Zhubin for too long, causing my professional ethics to rise as well?]

Behind Shen Bing.

Nan Zhubin, who was about to turn into the pantry, folded his body back 60 degrees the moment he was about to disappear around the corner, looking at Shen Bing.

Confirming that the consulting assistant’s entire body was emanating a faint air of confusion and helplessness, he nodded in satisfaction.

The feeling of joy came.

...

[Emotional Infection] refers to the ability of an individual or group to influence others’ emotions through emotional expressions and behaviors.

Emotional infection is quite an important ability in interpersonal society.

Many people don’t even know how to express their own emotions, let alone infect others with their emotions.

Among those with high emotional infection ability, the most representative is a failed art student who loves giving speeches in small taverns.

The shirt’s price is nine pounds fifteen shillings, but what’s the price of a loaf of bread? The answer is half a million marks...

Of course, Nan Zhubin, now only having a [+1] level of [emotional infection], naturally doesn’t have such strong power.

The recent effect test clearly explains the problem.

"To test my emotional infection ability, I first have to have intense emotional fluctuations."

"But since my emotions are very stable, to cut corners, I can only rely on stimuli to trigger it over a short time, and the easiest to trigger is — anger."

As a psychological consultant, Nan Zhubin would explore himself from time to time, so he knew exactly where his emotional sensitivity lay.

Hence, what Shen Bing just witnessed.

"However, on a nine-point scale, if my anger was a [6], Shen Bing’s was at most a [3], or even just a [2]."

Probably because [emotional infectionability] is still only at [+1].

Completing a few more [Monthly Goals] might make it stronger.

What Nan Zhubin valued was the potential to apply emotional infectionability in consultations.

"If at the end of Li Minglu’s consultation just now, I could infect him with my [stable], even [urgent] emotions, maybe I could get him to let go of his [defense] posture and boldly express himself to Wang Sui."

"Thus pushing the consultation to the next stage..."

This seems a bit like cheating because the consultation’s purpose is to generate energy within the visitor, whereas using [emotional infectionability] is akin to temporarily lending them power.

But many times, a consultation only needs one more push to pierce that thin layer of the window; missing this opportunity might cause the visitor’s energy to gradually dissipate, even revert to the state before the consultation.

This is when a consultant needs to push.

This is also one of the meanings of psychological consultation.

"[Emotional infectionability], this is a meaningful ability for consultation, at least much more useful than [charm] for me!"

"This month’s [Monthly Goal], I need to complete it a few more times!"

Determined to improve his [emotional infectionability] well, Nan Zhubin drained his cup of coffee in one go.

This bold move earned gasps from the young consultants by the pantry, for it was the first time they saw someone drink coffee like it was a toast.

Still iced Americano.

"How tired must he be, when it’s clear that Mr. Nan is always napping at work?"

"Maybe he’s secretly working overtime studying somewhere, reading materials, analyzing cases."

"Gasp... Does someone so good-looking actually do such things behind the scenes?"

"Makes sense, otherwise how would someone so young be so impressive, with such high performance..."

The young consultants whispered among themselves.

Then, they saw Nan Zhubin take out his phone and silently dial a number.

"Hello?"

...

Jiang University Psychological Consultation Center.

Front desk.

Due to regular class time during the week, there were no visitors, and the consulting teachers were busy with other administrative matters, making the consultation center quite spacious.

In the wide consultation center, only two energetic student assistants sat at the front desk.

The indoor heater was on during the winter, blowing warmth, making the faces of the two young girls flushed red.

Chen Ting held Xia Tian’s delicate hand, feeling the skin as dewy as a peeled lychee, while carefully observing the pretty manicure, she sighed, "Tiantian, you don’t know how hard it was for me to get here."

Chen Ting, who had just not long ago experienced PTSD, could hardly see any traces of the past in her emotions now.

Although complaining, her tone wasn’t much concerned: "My situation has been recorded, it’s hard to do anything now. If I hadn’t nagged the teacher for a long time, I might not have gotten this student assistant position."

Xia Tian giggled.

She flipped her hand, also holding Chen Ting’s fingers, first rubbing with a mischievous smile, then sighing, "I’ve been waiting for you for so long. You don’t know how bored I was sitting here alone for the past few days. The other student assistants paired by the school, they don’t work at all, just use this place as a study room, and a few guys..."

As she spoke, Xia Tian scrunched her pretty nose and shook her head repeatedly: "Always chatting with me about random things."

Chen Ting chuckled, "I understand, I understand. After spending time with Mr. Nan, no other guys at school can match up, can they?"

Chen Ting shook her head with exaggerated motions, "When you’re young, you really shouldn’t meet such impressive people."
