Chapter 796: Chapter 770: Advice from Your Psychologist
Xiao Qian walked over and saw several classmates, faces red and sweaty from the sun, each with a stack of forms. Da Yi looked like she was about to faint from the heat, not enough energy to greet Xiao Qian. It was only when Xiao Qian stood by her side that Da Yi feebly nodded, acknowledging Xiao Qian’s presence.
The scenario was reminiscent of a heatstroke waiting to happen.
“What are you guys doing here?” Xiao Qian asked Da Yi.
“The young boss got us here to conduct a survey and distribute flyers.” Da Yi’s lips were dry, her voice weak.
Now that her undergraduate thesis and defense were over, Da Yi should be at ho, frolicking with Xiao Panpan and Second Brother, but she had applied to the young boss’s research group for her postgraduate studies and thus she was conscripted for the task.
“Personal jobs?” Xiao Qian’s eyebrows ca together in displeasure.
She hadn’t heard anything from the big boss about needing manpower, which ant this task was likely a personal job the young boss had taken on, using his students as cheap, or even free, labor.
“We can’t help it, can we? We’re under his roof.” A junior sighed, “I really envy Boss Qian. No one would dare boss you around when you’re under the big boss’s wing.”
“You didn’t see it when she tortured , did you?”
No one attempted to refute this statent. The big boss certainly had higher expectations for Xiao Qian than the average student, and the person closest to the emperor, though favored, would be the first to face misfortune.
“With so many surveys and flyers to distribute, we’d probably faint from the heat before we finish.” The upper and lower classmates voiced their complaints.
Xiao Qian saw Da Yi silently continuing her job without complaint, which was just typical of Da Yi’s personality.
But she couldn’t let this situation continue. After all, Da Yi was her subordinate and her sister-in-law. If Da Yi passed out in the streets, Second Brother would be heartbroken.
But she couldn’t drag Da Yi away, as that would ruin her future prospects.
Nor could she complain to the big boss. This was beyond his jurisdiction, given that the person issuing the flyers was the young boss’s own subordinate.
Xiao Qian glanced around, found a quiet corner, and pulled out her phone.
“Liu Li, where are you patrolling today?”
“We’re not patrolling today, we’re dealing with urban psoriasis.”
This was definitely a good urban managent officer, taking care of the smallest tasks like tearing down illegal advertisents.
“Stop cleaning up. There’s a gang ruining the city’s image on Comrcial Street. Co quickly, use a truck to send them back to your office, let them enjoy so air-conditioned relief and a cup of tea.”
“… Sister, what are you playing at?”
“I’m just helping to uphold the image of our city. Hurry up and get a big truck.”
After hanging up, Xiao Qian bought so bottle of herbal teas and distributed them among her classmates. They all sat on the sidewalk to rest. During this ti, a fashionable, well-made-up woman with a purse slung on her arm approached them. She seed hesitant to approach.
“Can I help you?” Da Yi asked, recognizing the woman who had recently participated in a survey.
“Are you really psychologists?”
“Yes, we’re all certified psychologists.” Da Yi inford her. The survey they were conducting was unusually long, and with the young boss unwilling to fund their expenses, few passersby were willing to participate. With all the pyramid sches and scams out there, who knew what they were up to?
That’s why they had introduced themselves as psychologists conducting market research before asking anyone to answer questions.
“How much do you charge?” The woman asked, nervously glancing around, keen to avoid being recognized.
There are hardly any psychologists in the major hospitals now, so if anyone needed to see one, they would have to go to a ntal hospital and book an appointnt with the Departnt of Psychological Counseling. This misconception leads people to believe that anyone who sees a psychologist is ntally ill.
So, when the woman heard that Da Yi and her classmates were psychologists, she thought to ask them about their charges. But she also feared being caught asking such questions.
“I’m not allowed to accept fees at this ti—” Da Yi’s words were cut off by a sharp pinch from Xiao Qian.
“20 yuan per hour for her.”
“I’m not allowed to charge for treatnt yet. You can ask her.” Da Yi’s honesty knew no bounds. She was too shy to accept any money, figuring that she still had a lot to learn. Hence, she indicated to Boss Qian.
“How much do you charge?” The woman turned to ask Xiao Qian, detecting sothing extraordinary about her.
Before Xiao Qian could respond, the woman’s phone rang from inside her bag. She instantly beca nervous, hastily pulling out the phone to answer.
“Ah, husband, I’m just out shopping… on Comrcial Street, alone, not with anyone else. Right, I’ll wait for you under the billboard. The color of the billboard at the mall today? Okay, let check —” The woman twisted her neck to look at it, “it’s green.”
The woman’s overly cautious and ticulous deanor during the phone call left Da Yi puzzled. Was it really necessary to be so nervous during a call with one’s own husband? Da Yi had never felt so tense when talking with Second Brother.
After finishing her call, the woman resud her usual expression and continued to ask Xiao Qian about her charges. The woman appeared very cautious, taking care to consider every detail before making any moves.
“You’re looking at 2,000 to 5,000 yuan per hour.” Xiao Qian glanced at the woman’s attire and make-up, then at the bruise just noticeable beneath her large sunglasses, despite the heavy application of powder. Coupling this observation with the way the woman had handled the phone call, Xiao Qian had a rough idea of what was going on.
“Are you insane? You might as well be robbing .” The woman was obviously shocked by Xiao Qian’s quote. There was a huge difference between 20 and 2,000 yuan!
Seeing the woman about to leave, Xiao Qian called out to her.
“My apprentice is currently doing her internship at Central Hospital. She’s quite competent. If you ever need to consult her, you can make an appointnt at the Departnt of Psychological Counseling at a ti when she is there. All you need to pay is the appointnt fee, which is 20 yuan.”
Normally, an appointnt costs just over a yuan. But since psychological consultation tends to be ti-consuming, the appointnt fee is slightly higher. But even then, it is effectively a giveaway at this price.
“I’m not sick. I won’t go there.”
“That’s fine too. Since I’m in a good mood today, let , a psychologist who charges 2,000 yuan per hour, give you so free advice. Cowards fear the brave, the brave fear those who are desperate. If any harm befalls you, retaliate as forcefully as you can.”
“You—?!” The woman turned around in surprise. Before she could ask how the high-priced female psychologist knew what she wanted to ask, Xiao Qian was already speaking.
Even Da Yi stared at Xiao Qian in surprise, her expression revealing her confusion.
“Why would you say that?” The woman’s deanor changed.
Xiao Qian casually replied, “That’s the difference between 2,000 yuan and 20 yuan. My apprentice will eventually reach my level. She can resolve your problem, albeit at a slightly slower pace.”
“How do you know I should retaliate? Do you know ?” The woman asked cautiously.
“I don’t know you. I’m rely offering so advice from a psychologist’s perspective.” Xiao Qian didn’t elaborate further, leading the woman to feel even more intrigued.
