Chapter 28
"Hello, Mr. Yi."
This gentleman, who holds a very high status in the field of psychology in China, actually took the initiative to come over and say hello to Yifeng.
Although Yifeng has always maintained a self-important mentality, he still dares not offend such a senior in the industry whom he needs to look up to.
"Teacher Xu Kaifu?!!" Yifeng looked flattered.
Xu Kaifu accepted Xiao Jingyao's invitation to come and help him, and thought that he already knew Xiao Jingyao and the others and knew that he would come.
However, after observing Yifeng's micro-expressions, I found that he might not even know the existence of Xiao Jingyao and the others.
Realizing this, Xu Kaifu concealed the relationship.
To be honest, his first impression of Yifeng was not very good. He could tell at a glance that the other party was a rather hypocritical person who was good at disguise.
Unfortunately, he owed a favor to Xiao Jingyao and the others in the Xuanmen, so he couldn't mix in his personal feelings.
Before coming, he had already learned a little about Yifeng's situation.
Psychologists in China are already a mixed bag. In his opinion, based on Yifeng's performance in the first two levels, he obviously cannot be ranked among the dragons.
It doesn't matter whether the person is a fish or a dragon, as long as he is willing to learn from him and be obedient. After helping him, he doesn't plan to have a close relationship with the other person anyway.
"I watched your recent live broadcast of the ring, and I feel that you are a young man with great potential."
Yifeng never expected that he could win the favor of such a famous figure in the industry. At this moment, he was finally consistent in his words and deeds and showed a sincere smile to Xu Kaifu.
“I’m so lucky to have your favor!”
Xu Kaifu didn't want to waste time discussing this with him and went straight to the point.
"What do you think of the upcoming competition?"
When mentioning this, Yifeng's expression froze slightly.
"My performance in the first two competitions wasn't very stable. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you..."
After hearing this excuse, Xu Kaifu had a better understanding of Yifeng's arrogance.
"You're still young, so it's normal to make some small mistakes. You always have to look forward. Remember, history is always written by the ultimate victors. Their occasional failures are just insignificant sideshows on the road to fame."
Yifeng completely agreed with the last sentence, which made him feel like he had met a soulmate.
"Teacher Xu, do you think so too?"
Looking at the shining look in his eyes, Xu Kaifu knew that his mission was probably half successful.
"Of course." He smiled and nodded.
The two of them took the opportunity to talk about the next level of the competition.
Just at this moment, the platform's notification about the third level competition was sent to Yifeng and Li Zaiming's mobile phones via text message.
Li Zaiming, who had been standing nearby and had not dared to speak, finally had the opportunity to interrupt.
"The third level question is out! Children who hate studying because of their addiction to online games!"
As soon as the words fell, the topic of the third level was opened.
Xu Kaifu smiled slightly, "This is a relatively common question."
Yi Feng subconsciously came up with a plan and asked him in a roundabout way, "I remember you seem to be particularly good at this?"
China's psychology is largely based on Western disciplines, and it's still relatively immature domestically. Many psychological issues are very general, falling into a few categories. Yifeng had no idea what Xu Kaifu was best at, but that didn't stop him from using this phrase to achieve his goal.
Such a clumsy trick is completely no match for Xu Kaifu, who has been immersed in psychology for many years.
However, he did not intend to expose Yifeng, but just nodded 'arrogantly'.
'I've been fooled!' Yifeng thought.
On the surface, he seemed to be extremely respectful. "So, how do you usually view this issue?..."
The two chatted for a long time and even exchanged contact information in the end.
After they separated, Yifeng was still immersed in the joy of having someone deliver a pillow to his door just when he was sleepy.
Li Zaiming, who was standing next to him, was even more excited. "Ah Feng, you're really lucky! At such a banquet, you even meet someone who comes up to you specifically to share their experience!"
"Not only that, that psychologist named Xu Kaifu even reminded you at the end that you can always ask him if you have any questions! Doesn't that mean he's a strong backup for you this time?"
Yi Feng, who is almost of the same lineage as Li Zaiming, had the same idea at this time, but he was good at pretending and did not show it on his face.
On the contrary, the general manager of Shenshi Live next to him always felt that Xu Kaifu's active approach seemed particularly strange.
"Mr. Yi, this Xu Kaifu approached you rashly. Could there be something fishy going on? Should we investigate first?"
Before Yifeng could say anything, Li Zaiming retorted, "What could possibly be the problem? Our Afeng has such a strong personality. Countless people value him and want to befriend him. You should understand this. If we can make good use of Xu Kaifu, he might be the key to bringing down Yu Lanlan. Even if he has some problems, it wouldn't be a big deal for Afeng, right?"
After listening to this, General Manager Shen Shi couldn't help but show an expression of approval on his face.
Yifeng's originally wavering heart finally calmed down.
But what Yifeng and Li Zaiming couldn't see was that the moment General Manager Shen Shi turned his head, his face instantly turned cold.
-
When she wasn't doing live broadcasts, Yu Lanlan used her spare time to systematically review the contents of the upcoming medical license examination.
The next day, when I went into the live broadcast room again, Yifeng had indeed come up.
Yifeng’s first two attempts at hurdles cannot be described as failures, but rather as miserable failures. Not only did he fail to cure the patients he was responsible for, but he was also ignored by the patients, who directly applied to be transferred to Yu Lanlan’s side.
Even though there were a large number of water armies arranged by Shen Shi, and a group of little girls who were inexplicably his brainless fans who gave various explanations in the barrage, the ordinary audience was full of ridicule and sighs.
[I've finally figured it out! Although Yifeng's professional skills aren't great, he's pretty good at marketing and brainwashing!]
Some viewers saw the essence directly, which immediately attracted countless voices of approval.
Unfortunately, up to now, ordinary audiences have found that there is no way to reveal Yifeng’s true identity on other major platforms. No matter how they try to increase their popularity, they will only be restricted.
Based on this, they have actually seen that Yifeng's background is extremely powerful.
However, this phenomenon has instead earned many viewers a rebellious mentality. The more you don't let me speak, the more I will say it. Power cannot cover up the truth.
Just because they couldn't publicize it online didn't mean the real world was controlled by the forces behind Yifeng. As a result, many viewers began spreading the news to those around them, leading to even more people learning about the arena incident.
The number of people who came to watch the live broadcast of this arena today once again hit a new high.
The side-by-side live broadcast rooms have also entered a new round of competition.
Two high school students selected by the platform appear on the stage.
Due to platform regulations, even if various agreements are signed, minors must be accompanied by their parents. Therefore, two parents were still with the two teenagers this time.
However, even if the situations of the two people seeking help are similar, there are still huge differences in various aspects.
The boy who came to Yifeng's live broadcast room was obviously much more rebellious than the boy in Yu Lanlan's live broadcast room. With a face that was indifferent and full of disgust for the world, it was obvious that he was a child who was not easy to persuade.
Seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help but feel that there was another good show.
The parents on both sides were similar, and they looked worried about their children.
What made the audience feel that it was unusual was that Yifeng actually gave up his previous expression of "everything is under control" this time, and instead put on an inclusive smile on his face.
This was the first point he had learned from Xu Kaifu yesterday: no matter who you were dealing with, you should always try to be as warm and welcoming as possible. Especially with minors whose minds were still underdeveloped, what they really wanted most was understanding and recognition from those around them.
So when he saw the third person asking for help, he was the first to extend his hand to the boy.
"Hello."
Unfortunately, it is impossible to reform a rebellious child at the first opportunity.
The boy looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, curled his lips, and ignored Yifeng's goodwill.
Perhaps after the previous two blows, Yifeng has developed a certain ability to withstand pressure.
This time, although the boy humiliated him so much, he didn't feel any ripples in his heart, he just smiled.
His attitude towards the parents was a bit cold, and he just nodded.
The boy's father was stunned for a moment and subconsciously gave a friendly smile.
The boy saw all this and inexplicably developed a curiosity about Yifeng.
This is exactly what Yifeng wants.
Yifeng quickly invited the boy and his parents to sit down.
The boy's father was also quite cooperative and started directly talking about the problems his son had.
"Host, do you think this kid can be saved? He only thinks about playing computer games from morning till night. He refuses to go to school no matter what. His mother and I have almost knelt before him, yet he still sits in front of the computer and doesn't move..."
"He's in his second year of high school now. If he keeps going this way, he might not even be able to get a high school diploma, let alone a college entrance exam!"
Compared with his anxious parents, the boy sat calmly on the sofa, took out a mobile phone, and started playing mobile games as if no one was around.
Yifeng noticed this, looked at the boy, then looked at his parents who counted everything on him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Sir, why don't we go to the cubicle and talk while your child finishes the game here first."
Yifeng kept glancing at the boy out of the corner of his eyes, and when he realized that he had raised his eyes and looked at him subtly.
Probably thinking he had figured out the other person's thoughts, Yifeng stood up and walked towards the cubicle.
The parents followed, and the audience soon discovered that after the two left, the boy finally took his eyes off his phone and watched Yifeng and his parents leave.
After a while, the camera jumped to the compartment.
Yifeng and the boy's father have sat down face to face.
This scene is so familiar that it makes the audience dream back to the time when Weng Tian arrived.
However, what surprised the audience was that Yifeng looked much more reliable now.
He began to discuss with parents the problem of teenagers becoming addicted to games and disliking school.
"Regarding the issue of children being addicted to games and disliking school, we need to discuss and analyze it in detail. Only by analyzing why children are not going to school can we effectively solve this problem."
"Generally speaking, there are several reasons why children may not want to go to school. One is that they can't find a goal in their studies. Another is that they work hard but don't get effective feedback. Another is that they may have encountered some problems at school and have the desire to escape..."
"We must first find out the specific reasons why children don't want to go to school."
When the boy's parents heard this, they nodded in a puzzled manner.
"Then let's analyze your child's previous academic record. What were your child's previous grades like?"
The boy's father is obviously very concerned about his child's studies, and he knows everything about it like the back of his hand.
"When this child was in junior high school, his grades were among the top in his class. However, after he entered high school, his grades plummeted after he started playing games."
"It was okay in his freshman year of high school. At least he attended classes every day. But in his sophomore year, his homeroom teacher often called me, saying that he often skipped evening self-study to go to the internet cafe, sometimes staying up all night. I went to the school and asked him why he did this, but he didn't say anything..."
"Wait..." Yifeng seemed to have discovered something wrong from the boy's father's description.
"You said his grades have plummeted since he started playing games. Have you verified this? Did his grades drop after he started playing games, or did he start playing games after his grades dropped?"
"Another point: Children's self-esteem is actually at its highest during adolescence. Under what circumstances did you question him? Was it in front of his teachers or classmates?"
The first question immediately stumped the boy's father, who remained silent.
When it came to the second question, the other person answered awkwardly: "I heard his head teacher's phone call saying he skipped school, and I was very angry. Then I didn't care about it anymore and asked him directly in front of his head teacher..."
"Then I think your child's aversion to school may have more than one reason. Could you tell me more about your child's daily life, studies, hobbies, etc."
The boy’s father thought about it and began to tell the story according to Yifeng’s instructions.
This place became the highlight, and the boy outside the cubicle finished playing a game, and seeing that the two had not come out yet, he happily started the next one.
Since the camera was always following Yifeng, no one else saw this situation.
-
On the other side, the person assigned to Yu Lanlan also sat opposite her with her father.
Faced with a so-called metaphysical anchor, the child's father showed less trust.
The boy sitting next to him remained silent with his head lowered.
The atmosphere between the two sides was a bit inexplicably awkward.
Yu Lanlan carefully looked at the boy and his father's faces and began her usual process.
"Please write down your child's birth date on this piece of paper."
"What? Birth date?" The boy's father scratched his head awkwardly. "I don't know that."
This is the first person who cannot write the child's birth date during Yu Lanlan's live broadcast.
When the audience saw this, they immediately started to watch the excitement.
How come this father can't even remember his own child's birthday?
[That’s right!]
In the end, the boy dragged the paper and pen over and quickly wrote down his date of birth.
"I was born at seven in the evening."
Obviously, the boy must have watched Yu Lanlan's live broadcast and knew very well how to respond.
Yu Lanlan looked at the boy with a smile, but the boy didn't look at her and just lowered his head.
"Then I'll tell the child's fortune first."
She took out the three copper coins and started shaking them.
After shaking it, she looked at the boy thoughtfully.
Then, turning to the boy's father, he said, "Your son is a pure, genuine, and filial child."
"A pure, genuine, and filial child? I worked so hard to earn money to send him to school, but he doesn't even study and just plays games. How can he be considered a good child?!"
"Did he tell you that it was because he felt sorry for you working so hard to make money that he didn't want to study anymore. Instead, he wanted to find a way to make money in the game, just to repay you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy's father was stunned.
"If I'm not mistaken, your son's mother passed away when he was a child. You raised him all by yourself with great effort, right?"
"He came up with this idea after hearing you talk on the phone with your friends about wanting to go north to work and earn money for your children's college tuition. He didn't want you to leave."
"……What?"
"So the root cause and solution to this matter lies not with the child, but with you."
The boy's father was completely stunned.
"Also, according to the hexagram, your recent luck is in conflict with the north. If you go north, your fortune will not improve. On the contrary, if you stay in your hometown, you will be blessed with great fortune."
"Then...then why didn't he tell me himself?"
"Perhaps...if he told you that himself, you wouldn't take it seriously?"
The boy’s father thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible.
If the child said this to him directly, he might still think that the child was ignorant and pretentious.
Unconsciously, he began to respect Yu Lanlan's tone. "Is it true what you said about your fortune not improving if you go north?"
Yu Lanlan nodded.
"So, your child actually has no mental problems at all, and I see signs of academic success in his future, provided he doesn't worry about your situation."
"My advice is that you can choose to stay in your hometown."
The boy's father was skeptical.
In order to help him make a decision, Yu Lanlan gave him one last hint.
"If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your mother. Have her tell you your birth date and time. Have someone or you can calculate it yourself using a horoscope. You should be favoring fire and earth and disfavoring water and wood. The place you are going to is the north, which is associated with water, and is exactly the direction of your inauspicious god."
The boy's father nodded hesitantly.
-
Yifeng asked the boy's parents questions for a long time, but when he finally came out, he did not talk to the boy. Instead, he suggested that the boy's parents go back and confirm the questions he had asked before.
After the two left, Yifeng called Xu Kaifu...
