Chapter 904 904: Doesn’t It Affect Your Work?



As Irish was called to the office, Tim looked not good and tired. It could be imagined that he was mad because of those reporters.

Tim motioned her to sit down.

Irish was clear that there was no good news for her, so she just sat down and took over the coffee passed on by Tim. She had no thoughts of drinking, so she just put it down and waited for Tim's words.

"Why did it happen?" Tim asked directly.

Irish took a deep breath and said, "I am not the one who started this rumor, but your son."

Tim frowned, "Fredrick's actions are wrong. I will ask him about it. The key issue is why they have problems with you. I'm also doubtful of Fredrick's actions, but I can confirm that his statement is true. Why do you just conceal it from me?"

"I'm clear about my situation. It's my own business, as it doesn't affect my work." Irish said peacefully.

"Doesn't it affect your work? See the outside comments. Doesn't it affect your work? Many clients have called to make complaints, and they thought that I had hired an unprofessional psychologist to cheat them. They are all asking for compensation now."

Tim knocked at the table, lifting up his voice.

Irish frowned, "Memory issues will not affect mentality or psychology. I am clear about what reality is. Tim, they don't trust me, but you should. We have worked with each other for such a long time. Am I emotional?"

"Does it work even if I trust you? You need trust from peers and clients." Tim said, "I hired you with a high salary, and you are also the candidate for the president of the Runestone Group. It's impossible for me to question your professionalism. However, the key issue is that the Institute needs an operation. It's a profitable institute instead of a state-owned company or a research institute. Now, there is much negative news. We need to be responsible for our clients."

Irish was clear about Tim's meaning. She knew a lot about the rules of a commercial society. She just calmed herself, "How can we be responsible for them?"

Tim signed and took out a file from the drawer, passing it to her.

She took it over and took a glance at it. She soon threw it on the table directly, saying coldly. "I refuse it."

"Irish, there is no room for you to refuse it." Tim said seriously, "Now, what you can only do is cooperate with the authorities and do this psychology assessment. There will be no issues if there is no problem with you, and then we can give a responsible report to the outside."

Irish stood up immediately. She looked not good, "Tim, if it is just a simple assessment, I will cooperate with you without hesitation. But now it is an assessment from the authorized organization, and you are the authority, so you must know what it means. What does it mean if I really cooperate with the checking? Is it a trustworthy practice? You put me into the trap!"

There were organizations in each field to regulate and normalize specific practices.

The Psychological counselor was a special field, so there were stricter rules on management. The interior made this assessment of the organization, and once Irish accepted it, it meant that she would be questioned as a suspected target, which negated her professional skills to some extent, and her mentality and psychology as a normal person. It was great damage to her status as a psychological counselor.

Although it was not a big issue for her to be checked, Irish would have the burden of being checked by the psychology field. The clients had the right to choose their own therapist, and nobody would choose one who the field had checked. Each one who needed a psychological counselor hoped that their helper would be a god, not a person who even had drawbacks.

Irish would never do this assessment.

It was like a baby who was forced to do a paternity test. Even if it could be proved that he was his father's biological son, he could not get rid of the fact that he had done a paternity test. He would be a ridiculous existence in his eyes or others' eyes.

Tim was also annoyed. He stood up and patted the desk, "I put you into the trap? Irish, I do this for you! You have done one assessment before, and now the association has taken it. What does it mean? It means that if you still don't accept the assessment from the organization, then you will be questioned whether you are qualified as a psychological counselor. I'm sure that you are clear about which is more important. Do you still have a route of retreat now? No! I know that this assessment will have an effect on you. It will be better than being doubted by the outside. Even if you don't do this for your own sake, could you please do it for the Institute?"

Irish's breath became tough. Her heart beat quickly, and she just closed her lips tightly. Her eyes became red because of anger. Joseph's guessing was right. After a great while, she said, "I will not do the test. Do you want a solution, right? There will be not only one solution. I will resign, and then it will not affect the Linkus Institute anymore."

"What?" Tim looked at her. He couldn't believe it, "You would rather resign than do a test? Irish, it's silly. Is your face so important?"

"It's not an issue of my face, but whether my ability will be questioned. Tim, let me ask you, will you do such a test? This test will tell the outside that actually I am not qualified for a psychological counselor position and that I have mentality issues. Do you believe that the outside will believe in the test report? It doesn't work even if the president of the association announces it. What they really care about is not the truth. The media, netizens, and even the clients will only believe in what they are willing to believe in. What is the truth? What they accept is the truth!"

Tim couldn't say anything. After a while, he sat back in the chair and shook his head, "You are not allowed to resign. Irish, you are evading."

"I would rather be speculated than to be identified." Irish took a deep breath and clenched her fists, "I will send the resignation letter to your email, and you can just announce to the outside that I am fired so that your reputation will not be affected."

"Irish! Why are you so stubborn?" Tim was angry and anxious.

Irish pulled out the office door. There were many colleagues discussing her. Finally, she just made her firm decision and said, "This is my dignity. Even if I am defeated, I will protect my self-dignity."
