Chapter 462: The Type of Visitor to Keep at Arm's Length—Part 1
Before Chief Judge Meng and Bai Qinghua could say anything more.
The ringtone in Mo Kai's pocket suddenly went off, interrupting the conversation and thoughts of the group.
Buzz—buzz—
Talking in the boss's office without first setting the phone to silent is a bit impolite.
Mo Kai hurriedly turned off the alarm clock and explained, "Brother's consultation time has reached forty minutes this time, I need to go find him..."
This is important business.
Chief Judge Meng picked up the teacup in front of him, and Bai Qinghua waved at Mo Kai, "Then go quickly."
Only when the figure of the little assistant completely disappeared from view did Bai Qinghua awkwardly refill Chief Judge Meng's cup with tea.
"Normally, most people simply can't achieve the ability to analyze 'micro expressions' on the spot; that's something only machines can do," Bai Qinghua explained.
"Mm," Chief Judge Meng responded indifferently.
"Generally speaking, even a consultant wouldn't do eight hours of consultation in a day. Even here, our most driven consultant, at most, I schedule four or five a day, and definitely not at that frequency every day."
"I understand," Chief Judge Meng acknowledged.
"But Zhuren's situation is indeed unusual and certainly not typical," Bai Qinghua said with heartfelt earnestness.
"That's certainly true," Chief Judge Meng nodded thoughtfully.
The boiling tea gurgled, the aroma of tea diffusing into every corner of the office.
After clinking cups with the gusto of drinking, Bai Qinghua thought for a moment and asked, "Shall we wait for Zhuren to finish the consultation today?"
The hand holding the teacup paused involuntarily as Chief Judge Meng seemed to fall into a troubled thought.
...
On the other side.
Mo Kai stood at the door of the consultation room, having just walked out of the boss's office, his expression showed no abnormality, rapidly shifting his focus to the task at hand.
He glanced at the clock on his phone to confirm the time was accurate, then reached out.
Knock knock knock—
"Come in."
For some reason, Mo Kai inexplicably sensed a kind of relief within that "Come in."
Pushing the door open, he saw Nan Zhubin with one hand on the armrest of the sofa and the other on the folder, the folder resting on his lap, smiling and leaning back vigorously.
The visitor was leaning forward, babbling on incessantly, still saying, "Can you wait a moment, teacher? I really want to know..."
Mo Kai understood it was time for him as the assistant to rescue the consultant.
As soon as Nan Zhubin saw Mo Kai come in, he eagerly spoke, "Sorry, the consultation time is over, I have more consultations lined up."
With that, the consultant eagerly stood up, the visitor's gaze seemed glued to the consultant, moving with the consultant, dragging their whole head and upper body along.
Fortunately, it ended there, as the visitor did not stand up with Nan Zhubin, which allowed Nan Zhubin to breathe a sigh of relief.
"If there's further consultation needs, you can discuss it with my assistant," Nan Zhubin smiled, "However, I'll have to trouble you to wait a little while, I need to communicate with him first."
The normal procedure now should be for Nan Zhubin to leave and Mo Kai to stay in the room to start quoting.
But at this moment, Nan Zhubin maintained his smile, pulling Mo Kai by the arm to walk out.
After closing the soundproof consultation room door, Nan Zhubin immediately whispered, "If this visitor proactively wants to renew the fee, then take it. But if they're hesitantly wavering, don't persuade, don't use those marketing skills either."
Mo Kai blinked, not asking why, just nodding.
If Brother says so, there must be a good reason.
Nan Zhubin thought for a moment and further instructed Mo Kai, imparting knowledge, "When communicating with the visitor, pay more attention and observe. This visitor has a strong background of inferiority, and their thinking is very paranoid, to the extent they can deceive themselves."
"Be careful not to get into an argument with them, such visitors may develop into high-risk cases..."
This made Mo Kai nervous.
After Nan Zhubin patted his shoulder and walked off, Mo Kai straightened up, and with an aura of "the cold winds howl over the Yi River's chill," opened the consultation room door.
Even though Nan Zhubin exaggerated, that was because he was using a future-oriented cross-time perspective; at this stage, this visitor was still easy to communicate with.
Not very dangerous, just very exhausting. This kind of consultation, even if Nan Zhubin acted solely as a listener, mentally drained more than usual consultations.
[Emotion Rebalancing]
Ultimately, couldn't save this skill.
A slight fatigue swelled up in his mind, the slightly fluctuating emotions were instantly soothed.
Generally, in between consultations, Nan Zhubin would choose to adjust his state within the consultation room.
But this time, to avoid the current visitor, Nan Zhubin rarely chose to move away to the office area.
Sure enough, after a little while.
Mo Kai returned somewhat awkwardly.
"Brother, after you left, the visitor said they could renew the fee, but today they definitely wanted to talk to you for a result; I said no, they then tried to rush into another consultation room, I almost couldn't hold them back."
"And then?"
"Then they said if they can't see you, they won't renew the fee, I said fine, then they left," Mo Kai said.
Nan Zhubin let out a sigh of relief, nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Mo Kai didn't find it too troublesome, there was even a faint blush of excitement on his neck.
At this point, he finally felt a bit of the "difficulty of work," and it's the unique work difficulty of psychology!
Nan Zhubin amusingly glanced through today's schedule.
"Speaking of which," he suddenly confirmed with Mo Kai, "Has Nan Zhihao contacted you again?"
About the visitor seen in the consultation room for the first time, who later had brief contact in court, Nan Zhubin was now very concerned.
Mo Kai nodded, "He said he has class today, if he can make it, he might be able to make it for the eighth consultation, around five o'clock."
"Then as per your instructions, I specifically left your five o'clock time open, didn't book other consultations; and told Nan Zhihao you were unoccupied, if he came by, you could do it anytime."
"Is there a class at five..." Nan Zhubin calculated the schedule of a graduate student and let out a deep breath, telling Mo Kai, "Well done."
Settling his mind, Nan Zhubin prepared for the next consultation.
The issues of Nan Zhihao could indeed be considered a case for [Case Filing].
And Nan Zhubin requires at least ten consultations a month for the [Monthly Goal].
The former is important, but so is the latter not to be overlooked.
And today, if all eight consultations—with Nan Zhihao making it to make the eighth—are completed, the monthly goal for this month will also be achieved.
Nan Zhubin took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and faced the work.
