Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 350 - 348 Handling of "Closed Group

Faced with Teacher Xiao Zhao’s question.

Chonghui was silent for a moment.

Honestly speaking, at the beginning, he did not consider Teacher Xiao Zhao as one of his own.

He just thought having a teacher from his school as a "friend" would make future work less troublesome.

Of course, perhaps due to Nan Zhubin, this "friendship" developed quickly and sincerely.

As for now—

After some thought, Chonghui said, "I’ll call Zhuren now, put it on speakerphone, and let him explain the specifics to you."

...

A hidden corner by the playground.

Chang Ming was still staring at Nan Zhubin.

Following their recent exchange, it seemed Chang Ming had realized that Nan Zhubin disagreed and would not join his actions today.

"I plan to find a chance to talk to the students inside, get recordings, or use ’example education’ to make them report their coach, and swiftly resolve the issue."

Chang Ming expressed his secondary consideration: "You might think this is too aggressive, but it is the most decisive approach. The most important thing is that the college entrance exams are nearing, and the quicker we finish, the more time left for the kids to adjust."

It’s not without reason.

Nan Zhubin sighed, just about to say something.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

Ring ring ring—

Nan Zhubin glanced at the caller ID, didn’t avoid Chang Ming, and answered directly:

"Hello, senior?"

"Yes, I’m with Director Chang now; there’s a little issue, and we’re discussing—what?"

Chonghui’s voice moved away on the other end, replaced by Teacher Xiao Zhao’s voice.

Nan Zhubin was silent for a while, quickly organizing the current situation.

He looked up at Chang Ming, who was still peering toward the indoor gymnasium, waiting for the teachers inside to come out.

Nan Zhubin softly explained to Teacher Xiao Zhao, "The general situation is like this..."

Nan Zhubin briefly talked about Li Mingchen, Xu Pengcheng, Wang Rui, and others.

Teacher Xiao Zhao, who taught Li Mingchen and Lin Junkai’s class—though she could be considered as the teacher for almost all classes in the school—became more serious on the other end of the phone.

"[Closed group]... why does it sound strange?" Teacher Xiao Zhao focused on areas a bit off-topic.

"It seems not just the sports team, other classes in the school, and even the whole school seem about the same..."

Nan Zhubin shook his head: "Let’s not dwell on that yet, group types and team types have many similarities and differences. [Closed group] is one of the most special types."

Teacher Xiao Zhao contemplated Nan Zhubin’s words, suddenly saying, "Mr. Nan, actually... Director Chang’s approach does have its logic, and his plan is feasible."

"A clean and quick resolution that doesn’t interfere with the entrance exams..."

"However, letting Director Chang do it indeed seems inappropriate."

Teacher Xiao Zhao’s voice hesitated yet had a certain steadfastness: "Why not let me talk to the students? I have the school’s position and identity as a basis, which would make the conversation easier. Additionally, I have internal school status, meaning that doing this counts as my duty in a sense, unlike Director Chang who could face trouble afterward..."

The two started to argue.

Nan Zhubin rubbed his forehead.

The crux of the problem isn’t this.

He took a deep breath and said, "A swift resolution is indeed correct; it is the best way to ’resolve Wang Rui.’

"But, our goal isn’t ’resolving Wang Rui’, but ’helping the students,’ isn’t it?"

Nan Zhubin sighed, meeting Chang Ming’s gaze.

"In our current plan, choosing to ’resolve Wang Rui’ is because for now, it seems the most direct and effective way to ’help the students.’

"But it doesn’t mean ’resolving Wang Rui = helping the students.’ At least not that ’resolving Wang Rui by any means’ equates to ’helping the students.’

After hearing Nan Zhubin’s words.

Chang Ming frowned in doubt: "Are you suggesting Wang Rui’s current training methods are still beneficial to the students?"

"In a certain sense, yes." This was Nan Zhubin’s response.

This statement stunned both Chang Ming and Teacher Xiao Zhao on the phone.

Nan Zhubin shook his head.

Just like how, in the reality-themed backdrop of Batman, regardless of how many mob bosses and supervillains are thrown into Arkham, it never changes Gotham in the end.

The reason being—

"The ’polarization’ in a ’closed group’, no matter which direction it becomes extreme, at the very least—at the very least!" Nan Zhubin emphasized, "They are a ’stable’ group at this moment."

"And the ’leader’ within the group is crucial in maintaining this stability."

"For a team that has already ’polarized,’ handling it requires caution. Hence we originally planned to first introduce an ’external authority,’ and then perform ’cognitive information bombardment’ on team members—that is, the students—to stabilize their tumultuous thoughts after they lose their original leader."

"If this important step is skipped, if we rashly remove the ’team leader’ stabilization pivot without supporting the members’ cognition."

Nan Zhubin said sternly, "It is very likely to lead to ’loss of control.’

"Moreover, even without ’leadership disappearance’; even if the group leader is still present, the group can ’lose control’ if the leader fails to directly and strictly control the group due to negligence."

Nan Zhubin felt some headache: "So I asked Director Chang to pull you over as the external authority. Your role in ’stabilizing students’ outweighs the role in ’resolving Wang Rui.’"

After finishing these words.

For a while, there was no other sound around Nan Zhubin.

Eventually, Teacher Xiao Zhao on the phone exclaimed, "How would it ’lose control’ then?"

Chang Ming stared at the gymnasium in a daze, blinking: "Vice Principal Ma already talked with this... Teacher Zhao, right? So why haven’t the students dispersed yet? Wang Rui hasn’t been called over either..."

Teacher Xiao Zhao responded quizzically, "I met Teacher Wang just after leaving the office; she didn’t go to the gym at all this morning!"

"Huh?" Chang Ming widened his eyes suddenly.

Just then, a student-like person started slowly sauntering out from the direction of the gym.

Nan Zhubin recognized him.

...

A short while ago, inside the training gymnasium.

"We’re dismissing early today, not practicing; everyone go back to study or rest as needed."

The greying-haired teacher conveyed to Lin Junkai and others what Wang Rui had just called in with.

The sports team students looked at each other in bewilderment.
