Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 965 - 754: Things Seem Back Under Control (2)

Chonghui knows that the appearance Shi Chuxin just showed—seeming physically weak and in need of support, seemingly emotionally broken and needing comfort—was definitely purposeful.Perhaps Shi Chuxin wasn’t such a good actor in the past, but after working in foreign enterprises for several years, what level Shi Chuxin is at now, Chonghui dares not think.

Moreover, over the years, Chonghui hasn’t been just stuck in the lab crunching data; he’s flown around the country and even abroad countless times, working on various projects with Bai Qinghua.

So, after deciding to draw a line with Shi Chuxin, understanding her well enough, Chonghui raises his inner alerts to the highest level.

From this perspective, their lengthy association has indeed left some traces.

Nan Zhubin once again looks at Chonghui with a comforting expression.

The front desk master blinked blankly, not yet understanding what big change had occurred in this Senior Sister.

Shi Chuxin has already sat down on her own: "Since you—mainly the two of you—are so good at perceiving people, you can also know that what I’m about to say is True."

The front desk master just blinked. She looked down at her hand holding out the tissue; this gesture of goodwill, why does it now feel as if it’s being mocked?

"I know you’re sticking to your principles. I previously wanted to use you to stabilize employees and help me lay off staff, I admit to that."

Shi Chuxin says these words without psychological burden: "I was too eager for success. I understand why you didn’t want to help, and I owe you an apology."

"But let’s set aside these emotional issues and talk about something practical."

Now Shi Chuxin finally shows a bit of the quality honed from years in the workplace.

"Although I misjudged some things—there is one thing I think I won’t get wrong, and that’s the disgusting demands the boss is giving you, which you definitely won’t comply with."

"I can responsibly tell you that in this situation, you will surely face the boss’s reckoning afterward."

"Even—" Shi Chuxin says confidently, "You’re probably thinking now about terminating the EAP project early and leaving the company to avoid these frustrations, right?"

Chonghui and Nan Zhubin offer no reaction, and the consultant in the office can manage their expressions well.

But a few masters are not so calm. Their faces reveal visible surprise, "Is she able to guess this?"

Shi Chuxin glanced around at the people in the office, straightening her back again.

"Previously, Senior Sister Weng reviewed the contracts, indeed sparing you from many restrictive clauses. But I can responsibly tell you—even if the contracts have no issues, the company’s legal department can still find points to attack to sue you, to disgust you."

"Even if you win the lawsuit in the end, you’ll have to consume a lot of energy; more likely, because you’re not so professional, you’ll lose and have to pay a substantial penalty."

Shi Chuxin says meaningfully: "I respect your desire to stick to industry ideals. But in society, sticking to ideals and wanting to be a good person often comes at a significant cost."

"And forgive me for being blunt, but you still students—" Shi Chuxin looks around again, "—don’t yet have the ability to pay for your costs."

Chonghui and Nan Zhubin’s faces turned cold.

Now the front desk master has completely reversed her mindset, transforming Shi Chuxin from a "pitiful Senior Sister" to a "malicious traitor."

She stiffened her neck, about to say something, but at the next second, Shi Chuxin interrupted her.

"Of course, I guess you’ve already contacted Teacher," Shi Chuxin says, looking at Chonghui, "And according to Teacher’s character, they will surely cover for you, paying the penalty and all that without concern."

Saying this, Shi Chuxin couldn’t help but pause, a faint sour sensation rising in her chest and abdomen.

Bai Qinghua’s protective nature is renowned both within the college and throughout the industry, and Shi Chuxin was once under Bai Qinghua’s wing.

She had once lavishly basked in Bai Qinghua’s affection, thinking it was only natural; but when faced with hardships outside and wanting to return, she realized the mistake was irrevocable.

However, Shi Chuxin quickly suppressed her conflicting feelings.

"But...don’t you feel guilty? Causing trouble outside, requiring Teacher to expend great effort and money to resolve it, just because you ’don’t want to cooperate’ with work?" Shi Chuxin pushes further.

...

Completely guiltless.

Nan Zhubin blinks, looking at Chonghui.

He unsurprisingly sees the same sentiment in Chonghui’s eyes... Well, not entirely the same, there’s somewhat more guilt in Chonghui’s eyes.

Some, but not much.

The master’s students, however, seem somewhat fooled, their conscience stirred up by Shi Chuxin. Using Teacher’s resources to hone themselves, yet now it’s all gone wrong and requires Teacher to clean up the mess—it truly sounds upsetting.

"Just say what you want to do directly," Chonghui says, seeing the situation, "These irrelevant words need not be spoken. If we stay here to cooperate with your work, that’s what would anger Teacher."

"By comparison, you who knew the company situation still tricked us into coming here are the one who should self-blame," Nan Zhubin agrees, delivering the finishing blow.

Shi Chuxin’s face stiffened for a moment.

"Alright, alright..." she steadies herself, "But anyway, causing fewer troubles for Teacher is always better, isn’t it?"

Shi Chuxin says: "I can help you. Whether it’s the boss’s accountability afterward or the difficulties you might face exiting the company now, I can help."

Saying this, Shi Chuxin involuntarily raises her head: "I know all about their tactics, processes, and methods as an insider!"

"Whatever plan they have, I can inform you; whatever materials you need, I can help you get!"

These words are indeed somewhat unexpected.

Nan Zhubin involuntarily leans back a little. Are you considering becoming a renegade now too?

"But as I said before, I help you—you need to help me too," Shi Chuxin adds.

Nan Zhubin and Chonghui exchange glances.

This time, Shi Chuxin’s words are indeed somewhat reasonable.

But—they currently have an inside connection.

Thinking of this, Nan Zhubin suddenly takes out his phone. He just seemed to have received some messages, could it be—

[Xia Tian: Teacher Nan, are you there?]

[Xia Tian: I’ve been doing especially well lately, collecting lots of useful things.]

[Xia Tian: The legal materials are almost ready. But some stuff may involve other departments, might need you on this side to think of a solution...]

[Xia Tian: Poke.jpg]

[Xia Tian: Teacher Nan you’re at work, right? Reply to me when you see this, let’s pick a time to discuss, okay?]

Nan Zhubin gestures to Chonghui, handing over the phone, signaling the current situation.

Chonghui’s focus is in another direction, he quietly reminds Nan Zhubin: "Shouldn’t you have responded to her sooner?"

Nan Zhubin blinks.

But, truthfully, letting Xia Tian as a young girl enter the legal department as an intern, both Nan Zhubin and Chonghui were initially a bit uneasy about it.

—It’s not a lack of trust in Xia Tian’s ability, but concerns about other issues.

Nan Zhubin and Chonghui deeply understand the uncertainty of infiltrating enemy territories.

Now having one Shi Chuxin could make Xia Tian’s work a bit easier, to wrap up the current chaos quickly, both are gladly willing to see it happen.

Moreover, now Xia Tian has proactively requested help, maybe Shi Chuxin can complement Xia Tian’s work perfectly?

The premise is—Shi Chuxin can provide practical assistance.

Chonghui looks at Shi Chuxin: "What do you want?"

Shi Chuxin involuntarily raises her chin a bit, letting out a long breath.

After all this time, she finally regained control of the situation at work once again.

Shi Chuxin says: "No hurry, let’s find somewhere outside first, a place to eat and talk slowly."
