Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 633

Chapter 633: Chapter 607: The Real and The Fake

As it turns out, people’s persistent need to explore the unknown becomes less emotionally charged once the truth is revealed candidly.

The more secretive something is, the more it arouses public curiosity.

Just like in sex education for children, traditional values insist on keeping it hidden. Even when some textbooks include related courses, parents vehemently demand schools to stop teaching and recall the materials. As a result, many underage girls end up having abortions in various hospitals.

If something is bound to happen, it’s better to guide it appropriately and let people accept it openly.

So, within less than 5 minutes, Xiao Qian managed to resolve the recent radio station uproar about the host getting married. The first thing the callers said was congratulations, Meiwei, and Xiao Qian graciously thanked them for witnessing her happiness. Such a heartwarming scene in the show made many listeners with heavy hearts feel much better.

People’s emotions are delicate; negative emotions can spread, which is why many psychologists and late-night radio hosts have a high suicide rate. However, positive emotions can also be contagious. After experiencing a monotonous, dull life, a small excitement handled with warmth can instantly spread positive energy, calming many people’s agitated emotions.

Xiao Qian’s emotional intelligence was fully demonstrated in this situation.

Not only did she prevent the listeners from feeling annoyed at the hotline, but she also received blessings from strangers she’d never met.

Without her knowing, she indirectly highlighted Ye Xiaoyu’s lack of emotional intelligence, becoming the most popular female host on the traffic broadcast.

The leadership team, who were listening to the broadcast, breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was resolved, and the nighttime show attracted many new fans. They decided to talk to Xiao Qian during the day to see if they could keep her permanently. But that was for later.

At the moment, Xiao Qian was hosting the show masterfully while Yu Minglang sat in front of the radio, listening to his future daughter-in-law. His exhaustion from the day melted away.

He had been busy with the handover for the past few days. Because the new team was just established, besides him and his assistant, they had nothing. He had to deal with many things, only finding time to rest at midnight, with no chance to call Xiao Qian.

But being able to hear her voice was still good. His daughter-in-law seemed like a city sprite, listening and handling other people’s troubles in the silent night, offering sharp and effective insights. He couldn’t bear to close his eyes while listening to her voice.

Aside from the minor turbulence at the beginning, the rest of the calls were as usual. In the vast city, everyone had their unique problems. The only difference that night was that the host, Meiwei, was exceptionally patient. Full of joy and anticipation, the bride-to-be who overcame her pre-marriage phobia was experiencing happiness and spreading that feeling to others.

During the advertisement break, Xiao Qian stepped out of the live broadcast room to stretch her limbs, and the director looked at her admiringly.

“Meiwei, I sometimes wonder how you can stand all the complaints pouring from those callers. How do you persevere?”

“It’s just like how you answer the phone, handling everything professionally. It’s not that difficult once you get the hang of it,” Xiao Qian explained.

Now, she finally understood her teacher’s intention. Professor Liu must have worried that Xiao Qian would fall into depression after becoming a doctor, so he sent her to train in such a challenging yet controlled environment.

“So, will you treat your future patients the same way?” The director was always curious about psychologists, feeling that it was a mysterious world.

“No, those who call the hotline don’t even count as suffering from mental illness. In our field, we wouldn’t call them patients, but rather consultants. In the future, consultants like these will make up over 80% of my workload, and only a small percentage of people will have actual mental illnesses that require professional treatment.”

Although people often joke about having depression, manic disorder, procrastination, or phobia, this is usually just baseless banter. Mental illnesses are not as widespread and terrifying as everyone having one.

“What are the real patients you encounter like? Are they the ones who stab people everywhere and are not criminally responsible?” The director, taking advantage of Meiwei’s good mood, asked all her lingering questions.

Xiao Qian couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Many people can’t distinguish between negative emotions and mental illness, and even more people can’t distinguish between those with psychiatric disorders, like Zhiming, and patients with mental illnesses.

“There are some cases of mental illness where the patient stabs others, but more often, it requires treatment from the Psychiatry Department. Not all patients who stab others are exempt from criminal responsibility. It depends whether they were conscious during the act. For instance, it’s a misconception that people with depression can evade criminal responsibility for stabbing someone,” Xiao Qian clarified.

“Isn’t depression the disease where people constantly feel like they can’t go on living?” The director kept asking questions as if she were a curious child.

Xiao Qian was in a good mood too and wanted to explain depression to the director properly, so she wouldn’t view depressed patients with prejudice. However, the advertisement ended, and Xiao Qian had to tell the director,

“I’ll tell you more when I have the chance. I have to get back to recording the show now.”

After Xiao Qian left, the director grinned, feeling as if she had struck gold.

She heard that consulting with a psychologist was like hiring a lawyer, charging by the time spent. But she could talk to Meiwei every day without spending a dime, which was a great bargain!

“Hello, this is Soul Code. Do you have any questions for us?” The director picked up the hotline, and a woman’s sobbing voice came through.

“I have depression, I can’t live anymore, wuwuwu!”

“Alright, please hold on, and I’ll transfer you to Meiwei.”

The director switched the call over, wondering if talking about depression would really bring about a depressed person.

The caller was a middle-aged woman distressed about her husband’s interactions with other women. Xiao Qian managed to calm her down within three minutes.

The director mouthed to Xiao Qian, “Does she really have depression?”

Xiao Qian shrugged, “Not even close. She’s just upset over a minor issue and can’t see the big picture. There are always people who think they’re ill, while real depression patients are not like that at all.”

Another hotline call came in, and the voice was young and innocent-sounding.

“Sister Meiwei, congratulations on getting married.”

“Thank you, little sister. Do you have any questions that you’d like to ask?”

“I don’t have any questions… Sister, I haven’t been able to sleep for three days. I forgot what colors are like in dreams and lost my happiness, but I’m so happy to hear that you’re getting married. I haven’t felt like this for a long time. I wanted to congratulate you personally because I don’t know if I’ll be around when you actually get married… “
