Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 964: Chapter 754: Things Seem Back Under Control

Shi Chuxin started choking as she spoke: "I said I was contacted by the company via a headhunter and came back to Beidu—that’s true."

"But even if no one contacted me at the time, I was planning to return to the country... I could only come back. I really couldn’t stand it outside anymore."

At this moment, Shi Chuxin could be described as a "pear blossom bringing spring rain."

There is no denying her good looks. Today, her makeup is elaborate, and surprisingly, even with tears streaming down her face, it stayed intact, arousing a protective instinct in others.

"I admit, I was scared, lost confidence, so I went to find the teacher, hoping to rely on his connections to re-establish myself in Beidu."

"But I was more worried—because I had initially occupied a lot of resources meant for supporting academic students, then suddenly decided to pursue a job, leaving quite a mess behind..."

Shi Chuxin looked up, her teary eyes seeking Chonghui: "At that time, you helped clean up my mess, spoke well of me to the teacher, and convinced him to help me find a job..."

Chonghui stared back at Shi Chuxin expressionlessly.

He reminded, "Do you remember the year a senior brother wanted to apply for a Ph.D. at the University of California? Our research group had a project close to his intended advisor’s research direction, but you were unwilling to let go at that time, and we all thought you wanted to go too, so he gave it up for you."

"But you abandoned the project halfway through... it really wasted resources. In the end, I took over with that senior brother to complete the paper, and I gave him the first authorship."

Nan Zhubin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Senior Brother, Senior Brother, who knew you were so tempestuous back then...

Shi Chuxin lowered her head: "I was scared, so I resorted to little tricks when I went to see the teacher. So I know... this is the last time I’ll show my face in front of the teacher, and it’s the last time the teacher will help me."

"I thought I could secure my footing in the company riding on the popularity of EAP, but now my situation... you all know, I really can’t do it anymore, I am like this, I..."

She lowered her head and started sobbing.

...

Besides Nan Zhubin and Chonghui, the others in the office exchanged looks, their faces full of amazement as if they had just uncovered a juicy piece of gossip.

Who would’ve thought this mysterious senior sister has so many stories?

And these stories... seem to involve Senior Brother Chonghui (the teacher)?

After Shi Chuxin finished speaking, she didn’t raise her head again, only sobbed softly.

Seemingly waiting for something.

But she didn’t have to wait long before she saw a hand holding tissues appear in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

Shi Chuxin’s mouth curled into a slight smile for a moment.

She deliberately sobbed twice and forcefully suppressed her mouth’s corners to maintain the crying expression before seizing the hand offering the tissues—

But in the next moment, she no longer needed to suppress her expression as her face naturally stiffened.

Because the hand she grabbed felt wrong; it wasn’t the rough, muscular hand she had expected.

She looked up and didn’t see the chiseled, masculine face she had imagined.

Shi Chuxin saw the receptionist master’s student saying to her: "Senior Sister, are you okay?"

Having listened to Shi Chuxin’s venting, the receptionist master’s student’s face was full of empathy-derived sadness. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The receptionist master’s student’s thoughts were already quite delicate, and she too was currently anxious about employment issues. Listening to Shi Chuxin, a fellow woman and senior sister, talk, it’s inevitable she resonated with the feelings.

Shi Chuxin instinctively glanced toward Chonghui, only to see the big guy still maintaining a poker face, watching her indifferently from a not too distant place.

And that instinctive action of Shi Chuxin was clearly caught by both Chonghui and Nan Zhubin.

Chonghui sighed, "Chuxin, have you forgotten what our research group was studying? If this were the past, maybe even if I saw through, I might have..."

He stopped mid-sentence, just shaking his head: "But now it’s different. You’re underestimating me, and underestimating yourself too much." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Nan Zhubin specifically stepped into Chonghui’s sight range, giving Chonghui a spirited look suggesting "good spirit, no loss of points."

The reactions of the two left the empathizing receptionist master’s student puzzled; the young lady looked left and right, really wondering why Senior Brother Chong, usually very reassuring, and Junior Brother Nan, always speaking gently, were being so ruthless today.

Meanwhile, the two young psychological consultants beside them simultaneously pressed their foreheads; they had just wanted to hold back the receptionist master’s student, but acted a step too late.

They really didn’t expect that she would step out at this moment.

Before the receptionist master’s student could make sense of the situation, she heard Shi Chuxin say from behind her: "Alright, since you all have said so—"

In the receptionist master’s student’s ears, this voice was full of energy, sharply contrasting with the previous teary, pitiful tone, as if spoken by another person.

And at this moment, Shi Chuxin indeed wore a different expression.

She naturally drew two tissues from the stiff faces of the receptionist master’s student, carefully wiping away the tear stains.

"I didn’t expect you truly feel nothing now. I thought our long interactions might leave some trace."

Chonghui sighed, "Because we’ve been together for so long, I know you too well. Upon realizing you’ve changed, I guard against you at all times."
