CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 541: NEW LEARNING TASKS AND FINAL STAGE CONSULTATION

A life sentence with confiscation of all personal property sounds fairly good.

However, in the public’s simple values, there is still a hope for the evil to be sentenced as heavily as possible.

There is an emoji to prove it.

[Xia Tian: This result is already quite good, Teacher Nan!]

Perhaps thinking that Nan Zhubin might also have such regrets, the young girl proactively explained to Nan Zhubin.

[Xia Tian: The sentencing for fraud is very flexible; even if the "amount is extraordinarily large," it starts at only ten years. In the case of a gang operation, if the opposing lawyer succeeds in their defense, Wang Zhenhai, as the leader, could be sentenced to between 15 and 20 years.]

[Xia Tian: That is to say, even now, with the addition of premeditated gang operation, targeting specific individuals like veterans, and conscious psychological destruction, these combined might still not reach the fixed level.]

[Xia Tian: I saw in reports that Teacher Nan did something big in court, right?]

Nan Zhubin thought for a moment, then typed:

[Nan Zhubin: Yes, made the other side mentally collapse, voluntarily admitted to hiding key information and shared responsibilities, and also concealed significant accounts.]

[Xia Tian: Wow, I actually missed it!!]

The young girl first showed the same reaction as everyone else.

[Xia Tian: So that’s it. The main issue should still be the accounts. Ultimately, the accumulated amount is the most important sentencing standard, then because of the opposing party’s heavy subjective malice, it excludes all possibilities of a lighter sentence based on discretion, which is why it ends up as life imprisonment.]

[Xia Tian: But this is also the limit. Fraud doesn’t carry a death penalty in sentencing. Unless during the fraud process, there was very severe intentional harm or even intentional injury under other charges combined.]

The law student analyzed one by one.

Unfortunately, the subsequent situation did not occur.

No, it shouldn’t be unfortunate. In a sense, it’s also fortunate that such a situation did not occur.

Nan Zhubin thought for a while and added some details.

[Nan Zhubin: Nan Zhihao later filed some personal lawsuits, like insult charges, but that Lawyer Zhan was quite indifferent.]

[Xia Tian: That’s normal. Already sentenced to life, anything else would only serve a warning purpose even if combined for more sentences. According to Teacher Nan’s account, Lawyer Zhan would only be attentive if there were bonuses involved. In this case, without Nan Zhihao paying him lawyer fees, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t put in effort.]

[Xia Tian: But if these private lawsuits are well-fought, they should get Nan Zhihao more compensation, like reimbursement for mental damage and psychological consultation fees. Should I introduce a lawyer to him?]

Nan Zhubin smiled.

[Nan Zhubin: Good.]

The courtroom matters are about to draw to a close here.

Next, it should be about finishing up Nan Zhihao’s psychological intervention and thoroughly archiving his case.

As Nan Zhubin thought this, he suddenly heard a call.

"Zhuren~"

Looking up, Bai Qinghua emerged from his office and waved at him.

"Come, come here,"

After chatting briefly with Xia Tian, Nan Zhubin felt that Bai Qinghua’s expression seemed a little off.

At least it didn’t look like good news.

Could it be that something went wrong with the company, or research group, or consultation?

For Professor Bai Qinghua to show this expression, it definitely wasn’t a small matter.

With a face full of doubt, Nan Zhubin walked over and saw Bai Qinghua seated at his desk, beckoning Nan Zhubin over to look at a page open on his screen.

Nan Zhubin’s gaze focused.

"Teacher, what is this?"

On the screen, it was clearly a page titled "Notice on the Publication of the National Qualification Directory."

Bai Qinghua pointed to a spot above: "Originally, this place stated ’Psychological Consultant Qualification’."

Nan Zhubin immediately understood: "It’s gone now?"

Bai Qinghua nodded: "Gone. In other words, there will no longer be a government-recognized qualification certificate for psychological consultants."

...

After speaking, Bai Qinghua looked at Nan Zhubin’s expression.

After a long while, Bai Qinghua revealed an unexpected expression: "Aren’t you surprised?"

Nan Zhubin shrugged but said nothing.

Originally, Bai Qinghua might still have wanted to take this opportunity to see some emotional fluctuations from Nan Zhubin. Whether he or Chonghui and others, now seem to enjoy this.

But now, having failed, he had no choice but to give up.

"Forget it, actually I knew about this news for a while; it was hinted at long ago at the top," Bai Qinghua poured a cup of tea and brought one for Nan Zhubin as well, "I just didn’t expect the implementation to be so urgent, with the exam being canceled this year."

At Bai Qinghua’s level, it’s naturally impossible not to have heard any hints ahead of such a significant industry shift.

In fact, his suggestions may have been partly referenced in the creation of this policy.

At a macro level, the cancellation of the Psychological Consultant qualification is to remove professional qualifications related to level assessments that don’t directly involve public safety or health from the national directory and let the market and society evaluate independently.

Taking it down a level, it’s because the existing certificate assessment system was too detached from reality, focusing more on testing than practice, leading many certified individuals not to have practical consultation abilities.

Many test-takers might just buy a set of questions and memorize them at an institute two weeks before the exam, then could also pass the exam and get a certificate.
