Nelly Spears suddenly perked up. “Are you talking about Brittney?”
“I don’t know for sure, but some of them might be your enemy. There will definitely be haters. First of all, you haven’t offended these haters, have you?” Stella asked.
“They are nothing to me. I’m busy filming every day, I don’t even have the time to offend them. I don’t even know why they hate me so much!” Nelly frowned.
“Maybe you are too popular and they’re jealous of your success. Or maybe they hate you for having a relationship with their Prince Charming or taking their goddesses’ role. Some of them are probably just uneducated.
“Let’s imagine life as a TV show. Do you think the heroine will attack others casually because of some trivial things? Trample them, slander them, and expose their bad temper?” Stella asked softly.
“Of course not. That sounds like what an antagonist would do instead. Or at most, the third or fourth female lead character.”
“That is why, as the leading lady, you don’t have to care about them. You don’t need to deal with this type of people, it will only make you miserable. Why would you waste your time on them?”
Nelly understood. “So, I should just ignore them, right?”
“You can’t change their minds, you can only improve your skills and your patience. Learn to discern reality and analyze rationally. The insults will fade eventually.
Some people speak as if they’re God’s gift to the world, but in reality, they are hated. Even their loved ones can’t bear with them.
They will eventually be punished by fate. There is no need for you to hate them. They might be worse off then you are.
Letting go of others is also a way of letting go of yourself. Open-minded people will be happy, which brings happiness to the people around them. Only when the people around you are happy then could you be happy as well, right, Nelly?” Stella said intimately.
Nelly calmed down and seriously pondered on Stella’s words. “You must be living a good life, right?”
Stella smiled and replied frankly, “People are calmer and more rational when they are dealing with other people’s affairs. They know what is the best method, the right method.
But when it comes to their own issues, they would be more emotional. When blood rushes to their brain, all reason goes out the window, and their judgment will be skewed.
Most people don’t judge by how things are, but by how they think things are.
For example, there was a reality show where two people were rumored to be in a relationship. The people who shipped them would scour high and low for any kind of clue, any minute detail, which would support that rumor.
Those who opposed the match would do the opposite.
When dealing with one’s own affairs, one would often make the wrong call simply because one is too emotionally attached to the matter.
I’m no exception to this. Sometimes, I also need a psychologist for counseling. This is nothing to be ashamed of, I just do not want to make the wrong choices, right?”
“It’s really pleasant to talk to you, and you are very good at solving problems. I feel that you have completely changed my outlook to a positive one. My friend was right about you. I will pay you 1, 000 dollars for an hour, with a tip as well. Thank you, Doctor Grace,” Nelly said sincerely.
One thousand dollars? She only charged such an exorbitant fee to Ryan Lameer, and no one else.
“Who is this friend of yours?” Stella asked suspiciously.
“Rolland Cher. He said that he had seen your abilities before. He just talked to you for a while and you cured him. Now I’m in a good mood and I have to work hard. I’ll hang up first. Once again, thank you, Doctor Grace,” Nelly said and hung up the phone.
A black shadow fell on Stella.
She looked up.
Rolland Cher smiled and said politely, “I didn’t expect you to come so early. It’s only 10 o’clock now. Can I sit down?”
Stella glanced at the other side.
Rolland sat opposite her and pressed the service button. “I want to ask, when you were deliberately being cold to my friend, was that your strategy?”
“First of all, if there were someone who could solve his son’s problem, the matter would have been resolved already.
Secondly, if he continues with his way of handling the matter, his son’s condition would only worsen, and he would become even more frustrated.
Third, he is his only son. The boy is more precious to him than his own life, he’ll take my offer no matter how expensive it is. It’s a foolproof strategy.
Fourth, had I lowered the price, I would have lost his respect. Those who are kind to him are only trying to make money. He will look down on them. The ruder they are to him, the more he feels that they are worthy of trust,” Stella explained.
Rolland was still a little worried about Stella. “What if you can’t treat him in three months?”
“Don’t you have any confidence in me?” Stella said confidently.
Rolland’s cell phone rang.
He looked at the phone and answered it.
“Rolland, your friend is so amazing. After listening to her words, I am suddenly cheerful. I’m in a good mood and have a good appetite. Someone vandalized my car, but I am not angry,” Nelly praised.
“If you have friends with psychological problems, remember to introduce them to her. We are all friends, and we help each other,” Rolland said kindly.
Stella took a sip of coffee.
Her influence on Rolland was very good. He became generous and loyal. He became responsible and his career was growing smoothly. He had suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder before. It seemed like he had been cured.
The speed of a patient’s recovery depended on their ability to listen and understand.
“When will you leave?” Stella asked.
“This time, my main purpose is to bring the State Mayor. After you two have reached an agreement, I should be able to leave, right?”
A waiter came up.
“A glass of mocha, thank you,” Rolland said politely.
“Do you have a project with the State Mayor?” Stella guessed.
Rolland was surprised. “How did you know?”
“You have become more cautious around Ryan, like you’re trying to please him. You agree with Ryan all the time. Last time, you said you have your own company. If you are not his subordinate, then you are involved in one of his projects,” Stella analyzed.
“You are too smart. Yale City has a very good piece of land to sell, but another enrollment company is competing with me. If the State Mayor is willing to help me, it’s very likely that I will get it.”
Stella frowned and asked suspiciously, “Where is that piece of good land?’
Rolland hesitated.
Stella saw his concerns and said, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”
“I’m afraid you’ll be in danger if I told you,” Rolland said apologetically.
