Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 966 - 755: Methods

Shi Chuxin finished speaking, raised her hand and adjusted her collar, "Just a nearby restaurant, not far, won’t take much of your time. We can eat and chat, laying out each other’s conditions clearly, saving us from being restricted here."Faced with Shi Chuxin’s gaze, the EAP Project Team did not immediately respond.

Chonghui remained in silence.

In all honesty, while Chonghui’s expression management now made him appear indifferent, his heart was still surging at this moment.

But this surge, beyond some unresolved venting, was mostly disappointment.

Shi Chuxin, after offending the mentors completely, was now trying to reconnect with the mentors through betraying the company.

And it was purely a connection of interests.

Although this behavior seems acceptable against the backdrop of the workplace.

In Chonghui’s heart, he couldn’t help but go through another "Desensitization" towards Shi Chuxin.

The indifference on his face grew more genuine.

Meanwhile, Chonghui switched back to his true negotiation state.

He clearly understood that Shi Chuxin habitually used subtle tricks in conversation.

The suggestion of "talking over a meal" seemed like a convenient communication habit of locals. But in fact, it was a "compliance test."

In previous communications with the EAP Project Team, Shi Chuxin had been frustrated many times. She desperately needed to rebuild her psychological advantage and negotiation advantage through this subtle control.

She wanted to see if Nan Zhubin and Chonghui were truly as tough as they seemed, whether they’d compromise on seemingly trivial matters, to judge their bottom line.

Therefore, even if the conversation was going well in the office, Shi Chuxin insisted on changing the conversation scene, precisely to try to regain negotiation initiative through such means.

At the same time, people are prone to subconsciously let down their guard and follow the rhythm in unfamiliar, opponent-dominated scenes. This would be more beneficial to Shi Chuxin later on.

Upon this thought, Chonghui looked at Nan Zhubin, wanting to hear his junior’s opinion.

After all, Shi Chuxin indeed proposed a somewhat useful suggestion. Putting aside emotional factors, Chonghui began to completely think about the current situation using a strategic mindset.

What if Shi Chuxin could contribute positively?

Though using Teacher’s funds without feeling distressed, saving a bit is always good.

After all, it’s the project team’s funds, the money saved might allow for more group dinners, or be used for the next crisis?

Then, Chonghui saw Nan Zhubin, holding his phone, his fingers quickly moving across the screen, without raising his head.

Unconsciously, Chonghui leaned in, only over such a short moment, several lines of dialogue between Nan Zhubin and Xia Tian had already been exchanged.

[Nan Zhubin: I just had a consultation, and Shi Chuxin came to negotiate.]

[Xia Tian: What did she say?]

Chonghui raised an eyebrow, that’s quick.

[Nan Zhubin: She wants to change positions...]

Chonghui saw Nan Zhubin succinctly explain the current situation to Xia Tian.

[Nan Zhubin: Anyway, she proposed to help resolve the company’s accountability and exit issues. Do you think she can help share some of the tasks?]

[Xia Tian: emmmmm]

[Xia Tian: If you give me more time, I can handle it all!]

[Xia Tian: muscle.jpg]

[Xia Tian: But since she’s in HR, it’ll definitely be more convenient for her to gather some information.]

[Xia Tian: We can schedule a time to meet and chat. Let’s quickly resolve the current troubles. Then Teacher Nan can relax~]

[Xia Tian: I’m a negotiation expert!]

[Nan Zhubin: Can it make you a bit more relaxed too?]

[Xia Tian: hehe...]

[Xia Tian: Yes!]

Upon seeing this, Chonghui roughly understood the upcoming rhythm.

Just at this moment, Nan Zhubin sent the last message, raised his head, and exchanged a glance with Chonghui.

The two brothers, having developed sufficient tacit understanding, immediately understood each other’s thoughts, knowing the other understood their own.

— Shi Chuxin’s help was indeed useful, her proposal could be considered.

— But Shi Chuxin’s help was not indispensable, they held more choices in the negotiation.

"Alright," Nan Zhubin put his phone away, looked up at Shi Chuxin, "But no need to go outside, the company cafeteria will do."

Chonghui nodded and followed up, "Firstly, the cafeteria is closer, saves time; secondly, there are more people in the cafeteria, making conversation convenient without being misunderstood as scheming in private."

Shi Chuxin’s raised chin stiffened, "Cafeteria?"

"...That’s not good, it’s noisy, with all employees around, not convenient for discussion."

Clearly, she hadn’t expected Nan Zhubin to reject her suggestion, nor for him to propose the cafeteria—this completely disrupted her plan and shattered her intended rhythm.

In Shi Chuxin’s original plan, they were to go to a restaurant she frequented, familiar to her. There she’d feel more in control.

The company cafeteria is a central scene for employee activities, management rarely steps in—at least since Shi Chuxin joined, she’s only been there the first week to get familiar with the environment.

In such a cafeteria, the dominance she meticulously constructed would be diluted.

Why are these two being so picky over such minor details? Do they not care about causing loss to Bai Qinghua?
