Chapter 336 Psychological Counseling
Back to the office.
An Zhu, who was following behind, said with a smile, "Boss Ling, you didn't see it just now. Butler Chen's face turned green."
Wang Yuanling's expression remained calm, as if everything was under her control. "Let them fight among themselves, and we'll watch from the other side. Keep a close eye on Zhou Zhenghai, too."
An Zhu: "I understand! Now that the detailed design results of the Health City are out, the next step is to officially produce the blueprints and then compile the budget. Once the budget results are out, we can hand it over to Zhou Zhenghai and his team to start bidding and procurement."
The hem of her long skirt swayed with her steps. After she sat down with her skirt in hand, she raised her eyes and said, "Well, just follow the steps."
"Yes." An Zhu closed the door.
Wang Yuanling took the phone.
Click on the dialog box with Gu Zhou.
I forwarded the results document, adding a note: [Mr. Gu, the detailed design results have been released. Next up is the official blueprint. This is the latest progress on the project. The preliminary work for the Health City development is progressing steadily.]
She just sent it out.
He replied: [I know.]
Very concise and to the point.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and deliberately typed randomly in the input box for a long time.
Select all.
delete.
Close the chat box.
Lock screen.
The movements are done in one go.
Gu Zhou, who was on the other end of the phone, watched the words 'typing...' appear for a full minute.
Stop again.
He raised his eyebrows and stared at the screen for a few minutes.
No.
Nothing.
It was completely quiet over there.
He was curious.
She has been typing for so long, what exactly does she want to say?
"What are you looking at so seriously?"
Chen Guan sat down on the sofa next to him, making it dent, and wanted to look at his screen with a gossipy look.
Gu Zhou flipped his wrist, turned the screen downwards, and glanced at him lazily: "Is anyone here?"
Snooping failed.
Chen Guan sat back down and said, "Here I come, someone is parking downstairs."
He looked at Gu Zhou suspiciously: "But why do you need a psychologist when you are fine? Do you have a mental problem?"
Gu Zhou glanced at him coldly.
Chen Guan immediately zipped up his mouth: "I will be careful with my words, be careful with my words."
Gu Zhou's frosty gaze finally moved away.
There were footsteps outside the door.
The next second, the psychologist Chen Guan mentioned walked in.
He looked at the two people sitting on the sofa and took the initiative to greet them: "Mr. Chen."
Chen Guanteng stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Dr. Zhou, long time no see. Come on, please take a seat."
Dr. Zhou looked at the man on the sofa, smiled and nodded.
Gu Zhou nodded slightly and stood up from the sofa.
Chen Guan stood between them and introduced them eagerly: "Dr. Zhou, this is Mr. Gu from the Gu Group, Gu Zhou, Ah Zhou, this is my friend, Dr. Zhou, a famous psychological counselor in China."
Gu Zhou extended his hand: "Hello, Dr. Zhou."
Dr. Zhou smiled and shook hands. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Gu."
Chen Guan: "Well, don't stand anymore, sit down."
As he spoke, he sat down as quickly as possible.
But my butt just touched the sofa.
Gu Zhou glanced over and said lazily, "I'm chatting privately with Dr. Zhou."
Chen Guan:
When did Gu Zhou ever carry him on his back? Something was wrong.
But he didn't have the courage to fight back.
He smiled and stood up from the sofa, looking at Dr. Zhou: "Well, you two can chat first, I'll ask someone to prepare tea."
Dr. Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen."
Chen Guan: "No, no, it's me who bothered Dr. Zhou to make this special trip. You two can chat slowly."
When he went out, he closed the door behind him.
The door closed the next second.
His face was pressed against the door.
But I gave up after just a few seconds.
It’s his fault for doing such good sound insulation back then, now I can’t hear anything.
Dr. Zhou looked at the dignified and casual Gu Zhou in front of him and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, Mr. Gu, what do you want to consult me about?"
Gu Zhou's calm eyes were filled with ripples. "I want to ask Dr. Zhou, have you ever encountered a case where someone is so afraid of the dark that they can't breathe and are shaking all over?"
Dr. Zhou was surprised: "Is it you, Mr. Gu, who is in this situation, or..."
Gu Zhou said calmly: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."
Dr. Zhou understood. "I've encountered two types of fear of the dark: one is physiological suffocation and trembling caused by confined spaces, and the other is panic attacks caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, which can lead to suffocation and trembling. Has your friend ever experienced any accidents before?"
Gu Zhou's eyes dimmed, and he rubbed his wrist bones with his fingertips. "She lost her memory after a car accident when she was a child. She still can't remember it, but once she enters a dark environment, she will experience the state I just described."
Dr. Zhou was surprised: "So your friend has been losing his memory since childhood?"
Gu Zhou: "Yeah."
Dr. Zhou pondered for a moment, "If she lost her memory, then the cause of her fear of the dark must have happened after she lost her memory. After all, she has forgotten all her previous memories, so it's unlikely that these two symptoms would be triggered. So, is there anything else that happened after she lost her memory that could cause her fear of the dark?"
Gu Zhou's expression froze, and his brows knitted subconsciously: "I don't know."
Dr. Zhou immediately said, "That's okay. Let's analyze it from another angle. Her fear of the dark occurred when she was in a confined space, right?"
Gu Zhou recalled: "The first time it happened was in an elevator when the power suddenly went out. The second time was in a small courtyard. It was quite spacious, but located in the inner part of the house. The only light source was the lights inside the house. But that day, the lights were accidentally turned off, and the surroundings were pitch black. She started to have symptoms of shortness of breath and tremors again."
Dr. Zhou: "I see. It seems that your friend's condition is more likely to be post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly known as PTSD. You must have heard of it."
Gu Zhou's face was tense, his brows were serious, "I've heard of it."
"It's clear that your friend is afraid of the dark, and she only experiences suffocation and trembling when exposed to darkness. Conversely, we can infer that your friend has experienced an accident that was terrifying and highly emotional for her. Furthermore, the environment she was in when the accident occurred must have been dark, which is why she has a panic reaction when exposed to darkness. Does your friend receive any psychological treatment?"
Gu Zhou thought of that gentle smile, and the strings in his heart were disturbed: "I don't think so."
If so, how could it be so serious?
Dr. Zhou sighed, "I suggest you persuade your friend to receive systematic psychological treatment. I believe your friend must be deeply troubled by this."
Gu Zhou pursed his lips tightly, and as he thought of something, his dark eyes shone. He asked again, "So she hasn't recovered her memory, is that also what you call PTSD?"
Dr. Zhou shook his head. "Not necessarily. Generally speaking, amnesia in PTSD patients isn't permanent. You could learn more about the specific accident that triggered her PTSD. Only by finding the source can we find a treatment."
Gu Zhou's fingers gradually clenched into a fist, and then loosened.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, Dr. Zhou, please keep today's matter confidential, including to Chen Guan."
