(Please Follow) “Did you hear?
Nan, seems to have closed another deal.”
“Yeah, it seems to be with a bar owner in his thirties.
He immediately bought the most expensive package and scheduled consultations for an entire month!”
First, it was a college student with [depression], then a business owner with [emotional recovery], what’s this new Mr.
Nan’s consulting style?”
“How could he catch on to anything?”
In the office area, the consultants quietly discussed.
Bald Yang listened in a daze.
He suddenly realized he might not be able to reclaim his cases, and there’s no way he could get his “justice.”
Suddenly, Bald Yang noticed a figure hurriedly passing by at the corner.
It was his consulting assistant!
Ah Bing!” Bald Yang instinctively called out.
Shen Bing hurried his steps, seemingly not hearing, turning around and disappearing.
Bald Yang stood dumbfounded.
He suddenly realized, his consulting assistant also seemed out of reach.
“Did he really close the deal?”
Nan Zhubin was in the pantry, grabbing coffee to wake himself up.
Seeing Shen Bing who seemed impatient, even he found it hard to believe.
Shen Bing nodded repeatedly, “He closed the deal!”
Nan Zhubin took a sip of coffee, his expression inscrutable; truth be told, he didn’t expect it.
In his judgement, Boss Huang didn’t seem like someone who needs long-term consultation.
During the session, as a consultant, he didn’t deliberately guide; theoretically speaking, this consultation could be the last.
Moreover, he scolded quite freely at the end.
“Boss Huang said, Mr.
Nan, your words made sense and kinda scolded him awake.
If it’s possible, he’d like for Mr.
Nan to continue scoldi…
uh, to provide consultation for him.”
Alright, Nan Zhubin expressed understanding.
Working in psychological consultations, you’ll meet every kind of person there is.
“By the way, how did he continue the consultation?” Nan Zhubin asked.
Shen Bing became more excited at this point: “The top-tier package, renewed for a month, weekly sessions, a total of nine thousand and eight hundred!”
Nine thousand eight, four consultations, an hour max each, averaging out to two thousand four hundred fifty per hour.
But this money goes to the company.
“What’s my commission percentage again?”
Shen Bing quickly responded, “For this top-tier package, it’s fifteen percent!”
That would be nearly fifteen hundred, counted as a bonus in the month’s end salary.
On average, that’s almost four hundred per hour.
Nan Zhubin nodded in his heart.
“This is for any future consultations with him, right?
This session isn’t included in the package, right?
Nan, didn’t I tell you this morning?
How could you not remember when it comes to money…” Shen Bing showed an expression of real helplessness.
“This time it’s [Beginner Consultation], one hour the company takes five hundred, ten percent commission.”
Different consultants have different rates, and even the same consultant’s rate varies for different types of consultations.
Face-to-face consultation for a first-time client typically has the lowest rate.
Nan, that’s fifty bucks per hour.
Including the first consultation with a high school graduate this morning, two hours of face-to-face consultation this morning earned a hundred bucks.
Nan Zhubin nodded silently, realizing this was the normal size for a newly established Psychological Consultation Center like Yan Nuo.
There are very few clients who become long-term cases, and even fewer among the general clientele who spend money as freely as Boss Huang.
The new company also has limited resources; some consultants might wait all day without any consultations, just idling around.
It’s expected that after absorbing Bald Yang’s original clients, it would be hard to get two consultations in a morning as he did today.
Even having one consultation a day could become a luxury.
Hopefully, he can quickly gather ten hours of consultation time.
Shen Bing was still excited because as a consulting assistant, he also gets a five percent commission, which isn’t little.
Nan, do you think after this month we can keep developing this Boss Huang or get him to refer more clients…
Wait up, where are you going, Mr.
Nan Zhubin turned back, “Sleeping.”
“…Then I’ll get you a blanket!”
[Monthly Goal: Complete 10 hours of “Psychological Consultation” within one month (3/10), after completion proceed with 1 “Psychological Ability Training.”]
[Life Development: Archive 1 “case archive” (0/1), after completion proceed with 1 “Psychological Skill Deepening.”]
In the Dream World, Nan Zhubin looked at his task progression.
Satisfied, he nodded.
“Looks like regardless of the type of client, as long as the consultation is seriously conducted, it counts towards the task progression.”
“With this criterion, completing the [Monthly Goal] becomes much easier.”
Earlier, Nan Zhubin was worried that psychological consultations on such mundane problems might not count towards the [Monthly Goal].
Only [Psychological Abnormality] or even [Psychiatric] cases would advance the task.
Now it seems, they all count.
“But the progress of [Life Development] remains unchanged, it appears I really need to thoroughly finish a long-term case to meet the ‘case archive’ condition.”
“I wonder what the so-called [Psychological Ability Training] and [Psychological Skill Deepening] represent?”
Nan Zhubin blinked, his consciousness rising, waking from the dream.
At the office desk, Nan Zhubin, who had finished a short nap, stretched out.
His relaxed demeanor resembled a large cat.
His movements caught the attention of several neighboring desks, but no one bothered him.
Because everyone was “busy.”
Nan Zhubin slightly lifted his head, scanning the office area; he noticed the consultant directly in front of him had a popular girl group talent show from some big company playing on a full screen over his thighs;
The consultant in the left front corner somehow pulled out a controller, running a smoking game called “Black Wukong” on the company computer;
The consultant in the right front corner seemed quite diligent, with a writer’s tool open on NovelHub.com, seemingly working as a writer on the side.
Consultants need to find a reasonable way to relax their minds, maintaining mental and emotional stability, to be ready to work at any time.
By comparison, after two hours of consultation, Nan Zhubin’s slight nap at his desk was indeed too “dedicated.”
Nan Zhubin’s eyes lingered on the computer screen in his right front corner, watching the consultant diligently typing, he shook his head.
Seems like a rather clumsy consultant, after all, if you do well in psychological consultation, isn’t it more profitable than writing novels?
Not to mention others, even Nan Zhubin himself had handled several depression cases caused by writing novels.
“Shen Bing.” Nan Zhubin’s eyes lit up as he finally found his assistant.
The little assistant was carrying two cups of coffee from the pantry area back: “What’s up, what’s up?”
“That Chen Ting, the first case I took on, has she been in contact with you recently?” Nan Zhubin asked.
