Chapter 567: Chapter 541: Extra Meal and Fullness Control

“Dr. Chen, now that I’m saying it, you are the authoritative figure in psychology. Do you think there is a certain psychological disorder in the world that particularly enjoys tormenting others and being happy when they see others having bad luck? Our vice president loves watching us work overtime…”

Speaking of Yu Minglang’s many “wrongdoings,” Wang Yafei’s complaints are downright enjoyable.

Yu Minglang smiles and hands him a skewer of chicken wings, then pours him a drink, looking like he doesn’t hold any grudges at all.

Although Wang Yafei has remarkable working abilities, he will never reach Yu Minglang’s level, because he’s lacking in the sixth sense.

Yu Minglang’s sixth sense is as good as an animal’s, it’s very accurate to anyone except for Xiao Qian. Wang Yafei is much slower, he can’t see any hint of murderous intent hidden behind the vice president’s friendly smile, and he’s still trying to find common ground with Xiao Qian.

“Come on, eat more!” Yu Minglang hands him a few more skewers of meat, and Wang Yafei is flattered, not knowing that Yu Minglang’s true feelings at the moment are: Eat up, you won’t be able to eat anything when you return to the office, I’ll make you work overtime like never before!

“From a psychological perspective, humans have an instinct for aggression, but most people’s aggression is not evident in normal situations. However, external stimuli can amplify this instinct and cause psychological disorders. Aggression instincts are divided into two types: outward aggression, which is directed at others, such as manic disorder, violent tendencies, borderline personality disorder, and many other issues; and inward aggression, which includes self-destructive and self-harming behavior, like depression.”

“So in your analysis, what kind of people would be prone to aggression?”

“Although each person’s situation is different, and there are also genetic factors and hormonal imbalances at play, most outward aggression tendencies are closely related to the environment. If a child grows up in a society that encourages or condones violence, or in an environment with strong aggression, the child will adopt aggression as their behavioral standard. Aggressive-prone personalities are not uncommon in society, and this is closely tied to family upbringing.”

Xiao Qian can always explain complicated theories in the simplest way possible. Anyone can easily understand the points she wants to express when talking with her, unlike most scholars, who speak incomprehensively.

“So which category does our vice president fall under?” Wang Yafei has gained more insight.

“Him…” Xiao Qian takes a glance at Yu Minglang, feeling her leg got touched by him under the table. He’s reminding her to be responsible, and there will be “extra meals” for her when they get back.

She doesn’t care…

How could a psychologist with professional etiquette be frightened by someone’s shameless threats?

Xiao Qian reacts as if she doesn’t notice him being mischievous and asks Wang Yafei casually.

“What do you think, which category does your vice president belong to?”

“Hehe, to be honest, I think our vice president—”

“Young man, have some vegetables and stop talking!” Yu Minglang warns Wang Yafei with his eyes while enthusiastically giving him food. If he dares to badmouth him in front of his future wife and ruin his impressive reputation, the situation will get tense!

“You don’t need to serve me anymore, I can’t finish it all.” Wang Yafei hasn’t realized that he’s in danger yet.

Eating so much and you still can’t shut your mouth! Yu Minglang roars in his heart.

“Actually, I was joking earlier, Dr. Chen. We all know he’s doing it for our own good. Although we call him a menace behind his back, we are all grateful to have such a leader. You have no idea how high our performance bonuses are, and I think it’s much better working under him than at our old unit. It’s all because the vice president strictly demands us. Every salary day, we are all so delighted, and he’s our great hero in our hearts.”

They have received several times their salary as bonuses, and who wouldn’t want to follow a capable leader?

Wang Yafei seizes this opportunity to say what’s on many people’s minds.

They usually feel embarrassed to say it in person, but now, in front of their future leader’s wife, they express their gratitude.

Yu Minglang doesn’t want others to badmouth him in front of his future wife.

But being praised so directly also makes him embarrassed.”Have you had too much to drink? Come on, eat some more and talk less!” Yu Minglang stuffs more food into Wang Yafei’s mouth.

“Leader, don’t you remember that I can’t drink alcohol even on my days off?” Wang Yafei asks Yu Minglang in puzzlement.

Returns to the office, he may need to hold a meeting for the senior executives to discuss how to improve their colleagues’ teamwork and rapport.

Xiao Qian finds this situation amusing, thinking that Xiao Qiang always says she’s like a twisted dough strip, but isn’t he like that too?

“Yes, you’re right. Your vice president indeed has no psychological issue. Although he has thought of many methods to torment you, his motivation is essentially different from those who have outward aggression. Despite each person with outward aggression having various reasons, they have some common traits such as being stubborn, suspicious, lacking self-confidence and self-esteem, none of which your vice president has.”

His skin is just unusually thick. Xiao Qian pulls off his increasingly mischievous hand from her leg, takes the chance to twist it behind his back.

While they are halfway through their meal, Xiao Qian’s phone rings.

It’s almost 1 a.m., who is calling her?

Yu Minglang seizes the moment when Xiao Qian answers the call to sneak a peek at the caller ID, and sees Lily Tang written on the screen.

Xiao Qian apologizes and goes outside to answer the phone, while Yu Minglang follows her silently, not because he wants to eavesdrop but because he’s worried since it’s already late.

“Shuixian, what’s the matter so late at night?”

“Nothing, I’m on vacation abroad and forgot about the time difference with it being midnight in China.” Lily Tang’s voice comes from the other end of the phone.

“Nonsense, your intellect would never degrade that much. I bet a dollar that you’re intentionally disturbing me.”

Lily Tang becomes Xiao Qian’s patient after developing a friendship with her, and now she’s like a close sibling to Xiao Qian.

“Hold on—” After saying ‘hold on’ to Xiao Qian, Lily Tang turns to her father, Tang Daye, “She figured it out immediately, Dad. You lost the bet, now you owe me a bag!””Chen Xiaoqian, you little devil! Did you and Lily collude to blackmail me?” Tang Daye’s annoyed voice comes from the other end of the phone.

Xiao Qian scoffs, great, father and daughter are making her their joking target!

“Enough with the jokes. Qian’er, are you available for a new case?” Over the years, Lily Tang has been learning business from her father, and in the meantime has met many people. When someone needs psychological counseling, she refers them to Xiao Qian. The wealthy people she knows are also wealthy, and Xiao Qian quotes any price she wants for her service. Her house is paid for by these clients.

“What’s the issue?” Xiao Qian asks.

“Borderline Personality Disorder, can you treat it?”
