Chapter 307: Psychology Direction and Psychological Counseling Company! Shen Yunxiao's Connections!

"Alright then!"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, for ultra-smooth reading at your leisure.]

"Mm!"

By the time Su Yang left the administration building, it was already ten o'clock at night.

His stomach was growling with hunger.

Shen Yunxiao had lectured him for a full four hours.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I seem to have lost track of time."

"It's fine!" Su Yang shook his head. "Let's go out and grab dinner together."

"Okay!"

Finding a small restaurant outside the school, Su Yang and Shen Yunxiao sat down.

Shen Yunxiao asked expectantly, "What do you think of my proposal?"

"It's actually quite good!"

"Can we do it?"

Su Yang nodded slightly. "We can take it step by step!"

Shen Yunxiao said in surprise, "Really? Boss, you agree with my proposal too?"

"I do!" Su Yang glanced at the chef who was stir-frying and said, "Tomorrow, we can have the principals hold a meeting to discuss and implement it!"

Shen Yunxiao's proposal would greatly enrich the students' extracurricular competitions and entertainment activities.

It also included a significant amount of psychological intervention and counseling.

It could indeed cultivate students' hands-on abilities, teamwork skills, and build their self-confidence and communication skills...

But the drawbacks were also very obvious.

The school would need stronger management capabilities, recruit more faculty and staff, retrain existing staff, hire a group of professional club instructors, and a team of professional psychological counseling talents... as well as a large amount of related equipment!

Additionally, the school would need to take certain risks...

Adding more sports programs meant students were more likely to get injured!

Shen Yunxiao's reform wasn't overly ambitious; she didn't think about strengthening the school's scientific research capabilities.

It focused primarily on the cultivation of students' physical and mental health, and every part of the proposal was feasible.

How should one put it?

If placed in an ordinary college, Shen Yunxiao's reform would undoubtedly be a thankless task.

The school's top management wouldn't possibly agree, but Su Yang was different!

Happiness came so suddenly that Shen Yunxiao could hardly believe it. She asked again, "Boss, can all those plans be executed? Without any cuts?"

"All of them! They're all quite good!" Su Yang affirmed. "To be honest, with you setting things up like this, I even feel like going back to vocational school for further studies!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

Shen Yunxiao felt her nose tingle as countless emotions welled up in her heart.

Su Yang reminded her, "However, psychological counseling talent must be hard to find!"

Su Yang was relatively familiar with the psychological counseling industry.

It was an industry that was currently quite chaotic!

His Spark Media and Meijia Housekeeping had psychological counselors, primarily to provide guidance for employees' mental health issues.

However, their professional abilities were quite average, though fortunately, they all had professional backgrounds!

A few years ago, the authorities had canceled the Level 2 and Level 3 vocational qualification certifications for psychological counselors.

Currently, there were no vocational qualification certificates with official validity.

Many of the various psychological counselor qualification certificates on the market were issued by the training institutions themselves!

Some certificates could even be bought with money, so one could imagine their value.

Many psychological counselors even dabbled in metaphysics, using things like horoscopes and tarot cards...

Naturally, the so-called psychological counselors on the market now were of mixed quality, and their fees were quite chaotic!

Moreover, it was hard for ordinary people to distinguish between a good and bad psychological counselor.

Psychological counselors also required high moral standards.

Otherwise, a counseling session might end up leading to the bedroom...

After all, given the habits of domestic people, by the time they actually sought out a psychological counselor, the problems were already quite significant!

The person seeking counseling is often very vulnerable psychologically.

"I can find them!" Shen Yunxiao said with a smile. "Boss, don't forget where I got my PhD in psychology!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Normal University?"

"Mm!" Shen Yunxiao nodded. "I can help Boss contact some people!"

"That works!"

Su Yang nodded.

There are relatively few domestic universities where one can get a PhD in psychology, and Normal University is among the top tier.

"It's just the compensation..."

"How much compensation do they need?"

"A PhD should at least have a monthly salary of twenty thousand! If you want even better ones, you might have to increase the price!" Shen Yunxiao thought for a bit and said, "Masters can be a bit lower."

Cheap!

Truly cheap!

"Compensation isn't an issue!" Su Yang waved his hand dismissively. "I just want talent!"

Seeing her boss being so generous, Shen Yunxiao was completely relieved.

"Also!" Su Yang glanced at the four girls at the next table and continued, "I need professional talent in psychological counseling, but I also need talent in psychological research. I also plan to set up a psychological counseling company, so help me find suitable talent for that as well!"

Shen Yunxiao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Boss, you aren't planning to do scientific research, are you?"

Su Yang countered, "Is that not allowed?"

"Of course it is!"

Junior colleges and higher vocational colleges can also conduct scientific research; the country has been vigorously promoting it lately!

However, she hadn't expected the boss to want to do research in the field of psychology.

She thought for a moment and said, "But Boss, if you want to do scientific research, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Su Yang asked in confusion, "Mentally prepared for what?"

"It's not easy for vocational school teachers to publish papers!"

"How so?"

He became slightly interested.

"Actually, it's just industry discrimination!" Shen Yunxiao said very bluntly. "Many junior college teachers have tried it. For a paper of the same quality, if it's affiliated with such-and-such University, it gets published; if it's affiliated with such-and-such Junior College... it's very easy to get rejected!"

"Really?"

"Many junior college teachers who want to publish papers know this; it's an industry unspoken rule that everyone is aware of!" Shen Yunxiao affirmed. "Many junior college teachers have Master's or PhD backgrounds; they generally have a good idea of the actual quality of their papers!"

Seeing Shen Yunxiao so certain, Su Yang believed her.

"It doesn't matter. I think doing some research in psychology is quite interesting!"

Well then!

The real reason Su Yang chose psychology research wasn't just because it was interesting.

It was also because it was relatively economical!

With his current strength, he couldn't provide too much research funding yet.

Like those folks doing semiconductors—at every turn, it's hundreds of millions or billions in research funding; he couldn't carry that yet!

For the research direction of psychology, the research funding at least wouldn't be too outrageous!

Additionally, psychological counseling is also a service industry, and it's almost a guaranteed profit for him.

If all else failed, he could just have his subsidiary companies buy the services to provide psychological counseling for his employees!

Everyone is under a lot of pressure these days; making employees feel more mentally comfortable is also good.

Shen Yunxiao asked curiously, "What aspects does the boss want to research?"

"For example, our students, or the company's customer base, or my employees!"

"Those are indeed all good and quite practical!"

Shen Yunxiao nodded in agreement.

Not to mention researching students; it was definitely for the sake of making the students better.

Others from psychology backgrounds, besides doing psychological counseling or entering hospitals,

many others also enter enterprises to research customer groups or become HRs.

Seeing the dishes being served, Shen Yunxiao actively helped Su Yang serve the rice.

"Keep this matter in mind." Su Yang pulled out two pairs of disposable chopsticks and reminded her, "After you've contacted the people, we can conduct online interviews so they don't have to make a trip!"

"Okay!"
