Chapter 949: Chapter 746: The Answer Has Always Been Right Before You, Most People Just Don’t Choose It (Part 2)

Boss Wang praised endlessly: "Your teacher... was surnamed Lin, right? That’s really terrible, absolutely beastly! How can a teacher behave like that?"

"Teacher Xiao Nan, you did really well at that time; I wish I could have been there too!"

Compliments that cost nothing kept tumbling out of Boss Wang’s mouth.

Yet the social distance between Nan Zhubin and Boss Wang wasn’t narrowed; rather, there seemed to be a subtle barrier erected.

Boss Wang didn’t perceive this invisible atmosphere and continued: "But, although I saw that online, I was just shocked. It wasn’t until recently—"

Speaking, Boss Wang pointed at the floor beneath him: "You gave that presentation at our company and used hypnosis, right? That was impressive!"

"That person in the development department fell asleep directly under your influence; and Old Xing, with that bad temper, actually cried on the spot..."

Boss Wang seemed genuinely overwhelmed by Nan Zhubin’s skills, to the extent that his words seemed to be unstoppable for a moment.

Nan Zhubin quietly watched the other party, his expression unchanged.

In social interactions, the feedback from the interaction partner is also very important.

Faced with having delivered a long spiel, with Nan Zhubin remaining unmoved and not changing as expected, this Psychological Consultant neither showed the subtle pride of an old employee nor the visible shyness of youth.

Thus, Boss Wang gradually quieted down as well.

No longer hiding, he finally voiced his intention: "I was thinking, could you use your Lie Detection method to screen our employees and find out who the mole is?"

"If Lie Detection doesn’t work, then use hypnosis."

"And after finding the mole, further select those who might become moles, thoroughly eliminating internal risks within the company!"

...

Nan Zhubin nodded slightly.

It’s not about wanting to add burdens to the EAP Project Team.

Feelings are directed at me after all.

...

"I’m afraid that’s not possible." Nan Zhubin spoke directly.

Boss Wang’s corners of the mouth, used for maintaining social decorum, vanished completely.

Compared to the other three directors, he spent a lot of time laying the groundwork for communicating with Nan Zhubin, originally thinking he could build this young man up.

No matter how professionally skilled a young person is, aren’t they still a young person?

Unexpectedly, the young man is truly young, yet so young on the emotional intelligence front, refusing so straightforwardly.

Boss Wang did not hide the expression from his mind and laid it bare on his face, cooling down instantly.

He didn’t speak immediately, instead waiting for something.

The Legal Director blinked, the HR Director held his breath for a second, then simultaneously turned their gazes here.

Afterwards came a slightly delayed reaction from Chen Lizhou.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

The office remained silent for quite a while.

"Oh, you’re waiting for me to explain, right?" Nan Zhubin said.

Boss Wang’s face visibly twitched.

Nan Zhubin thought for a bit; it’s not time to officially exit yet, and for the convenience of the Project Team and Xia Tian, he indeed needed to feign compliance with Boss Wang and accommodate the boss’s ego.

In fact, that’s what he has been doing; otherwise, the refusal just now would have been even more straightforward—he’d have simply said "No," instead of using "I’m afraid not" which is a bit more tactful.

Although in terms of effect, the impact on Boss Wang was the same.

"Just now—Legal Director." Nan Zhubin slightly turned his face, "in refusing you, would also provide a corresponding explanation. Then you’d rebut it, and you’d insist on your opinion thereafter."

"So normally, Boss Wang, you should follow this process when assigning tasks, right?"

"Just like when we brought the EAP report to you last time?"

The Legal Director sitting beside was startled, subconsciously adjusting his sitting position.

Does it involve him?

"Then I shall explain a little."

Nan Zhubin said: "Firstly, I am here at Tongping Software as part of the EAP Project Team, and we’re doing an ’Employee Assistance Program’. Whereas those ’Micro-expression Analysis’ and ’hypnosis’ are certainly within my ’expert territory’."

"But it’s not within the ’service scope’ of our Project Team."

Boss Wang’s eyes widened.

"I understand, I understand." Before Boss Wang could speak, Nan Zhubin intervened, adopting a soothing tone, "You’d think that once employees are under your banner, all their abilities belong to you, right? Whatever the employee’s skills are, they must be mobilized according to your requirement?"

Recruit an office worker, and then make them do field work; hire a technical employee, yet assign them to sales; employ a copywriter and they still have to organize events big and small—having employees wholeheartedly burn themselves is a situation seen often in enterprises.

Employing an employee means obtaining the entire usage rights of a person—this is the cognition of many bosses.

"However, our contract does not state that; we will only provide what is on the contract—namely, EAP-related services."

Boss Wang was about to speak with glaring eyes.

Nan Zhubin interrupted again: "I know, you want to say it’s the company’s ’reasonable request’, right? Most contracts indicate that the Party B needs to cooperate with the Party A’s ’other reasonable work requirements’ clause and extend indefinitely based on that."

Nan Zhubin paused for a moment: "But that clause isn’t in our contract. We signed after carefully reviewing the contract, didn’t you read it?"

...

The contract initially did include ’cooperating with Party A’s other reasonable work requirements’.

But this project contract was overseen by Weng Pinting.

And Shi Chuxin, as the liaison, knew she had incurred the master’s displeasure. After Weng Pinting discovered the problem and pointed it out, Shi Chuxin hardly insisted. She only wanted the research group to quickly settle in as her support, and retreated easily.

Leaving the EAP Project Team with an exceptionally compliant contract.

Nan Zhubin might not have noticed at first, but when Xia Tian saw it, he immediately delightedly informed Nan Zhubin of the good news.

Boss Wang was choked.

"Okay, maybe you really didn’t seriously read the contract." Nan Zhubin made amends for Boss Wang, trying to ease the atmosphere, "It’s alright; top managers can be a bit careless sometimes, you have more significant matters to consider, don’t want to spend it on trivial things, understood."

"If you want me to provide services like ’Micro-expression Analysis’, it would be considered a new task requiring additional hiring of me. But—"

Nan Zhubin spread his hands, adopting the posture of a deputy GOAT: "I don’t accept employment for this kind of task."

The HR Director involuntarily opened moist red lips, the Legal Director maintained his expression behind the action of adjusting his glasses.

Boss Wang obviously was not comforted by Nan Zhubin’s soft wording, his neck began to turn red.

And Nan Zhubin hadn’t finished "explaining" yet.

As the person in charge of the EAP Project Team, since the boss wants an explanation, he is obliged to finish speaking.

"However, Boss Wang, if you wish to handle the current situation, our Project Team has already provided a report previously."

Nan Zhubin looked into Boss Wang’s eyes: "The wave of layoffs caused employee dissatisfaction, recently because of ’various reasons’ leading to acceleration of work rhythm, excessive stress. These reasons make the company’s work atmosphere overly oppressive, accumulating employee negative emotions. In the long run, accidents could happen—"

"—The current situation is precisely the ’accident’ we mentioned at that time." Nan Zhubin said.

"As for the solution, we have already provided it in the report back then. Optimize the layoff compensation plan, increase positive communication with employees, establish appropriate feedback mechanisms, and so on."

"If you want water that’s boiling to cool down quickly, you must turn off the heat, then add cold water to it."
