Chapter 483 Inside Story
Fang Zhixin said: "Xiao Jin is not inferior to the average person. After all, he is Teacher Chen's son. At such a young age, he has shown extraordinary talent."
At this point, he looked up at Chen Chuan and said, "But Captain Chen, do you think Xiao Jin can compare with you?"
He shook his head. "Let alone you, even compared to Brother Ding and the others present here today, how do you think Xiao Jin compares to them?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "This comparison is actually not appropriate."
He knew what Fang Zhixin was referring to. Xiao Jin's talent was better than that of an average person, but it was not particularly outstanding compared to the elites.
What determines whether a person will achieve success in the future is not only talent, but also a person's will, his own efforts, the resources invested in the future, and changes in the external environment.
It is too hasty to judge a person's entire life value based on only one stage.
"But Captain Chen, he's Teacher Chen's son, so he's bound to be compared to me. Xiao Jin can't avoid it."
Fang Zhixin explained: "Teacher Chen has always been surrounded by outstanding students like Captain Chen, Captain Zhan, and those present here.
Even Xiao Jin's older brothers and sisters are very outstanding. At Xiao Jin's age, they are already learning how to fight the enemy in the fusion field. They can be said to be outstanding. Xiao Jin is mediocre in comparison."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I saw Xiao Jin practicing boxing today. He seemed to lack systematic guidance."
Fang Zhixin sighed and said, "Teacher Chen has limited energy. He needs to focus his limited time and energy on those students with higher talents.
He was stationed at the base all year round and seldom went home. Since his master's wife passed away, he had neglected to take care of Xiaojin.
How can I describe the relationship between the father and son? Although it cannot be said to be bad, they only say hello when they meet. In our opinion, sometimes he is like a stranger in front of Xiaojin, and is not even as close to her as the nanny who is responsible for taking care of Xiaojin at home.
As for us, although we also see that Xiaojin's training direction may be a little off, to be honest, this will only achieve limited results and will not cause any problems.
Many of us were teammates with his brother and sister, and seeing them sacrificed one after another is heartbreaking. We also really don't want to see Xiaojin, the teacher's only remaining son, go down the same path. He's not very talented, so perhaps it's not a bad thing for him."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Have you asked Xiaojin what he thinks?"
Fang Zhixin was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
They respect Teacher Chen very much and feel a sense of friendship towards Xiaojin's brothers and sisters as colleagues, but they don't have that much affection for Xiaojin.
They are willing to take care of children when they can, but they all have their own things to do and don't have the time or energy to understand a young person's thoughts.
Besides, it’s not their turn to take care of this matter.
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Even though you think so, I see Xiaojin is still working very hard and doesn't seem to have given up on this path."
“Yes, Xiaojin works very hard.”
Fang Zhixin affirmed this, lamenting, “He’s just as persistent as his older brothers and sisters, yet there’s a clear gap in talent between them. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t catch up.
Besides, Xiao Jin is very introverted and usually doesn't talk to anyone, but I seemed to see him talking to you just now, which is rare."
Chen Chuan didn't think there was anything strange about this. A young man like Xiaojin might not be fully mature mentally and lack experience, but he knew very well who was really good to him.
Just as the two were talking, a man from the opposite table walked over. When he got closer, he greeted Fang Zhixin and Ding Mai, then looked at Chen Chuan, extended his hand, and said with a smile, "Captain Chen, nice to meet you, my name is Gu Haiting."
Chen Chuan stood up and shook hands with him. Although this man was not wearing a uniform, looking at his confident demeanor and the familiarity he showed with the people around him, one could tell that he was most likely from a high-ranking military family and was undoubtedly from the same circle.
Gu Haiting smiled and said, "I'm currently working in the Public Relations Department of Canglong Company. I've heard Manager Sun mention you before, and I didn't expect to meet you here today. What a pleasure to meet you."
Chen Chuan's heart was moved. He said, "Is Brother Sun okay? We haven't seen each other since we parted on the cruise ship last time."
"Director Sun is very good. The cruise ship project is still under his management. He recently returned to Central City. He also said that if it weren't for Captain Chen's help last time, the situation might have been difficult to deal with."
Chen Chuan said, "Senior Sun, you're too serious. It was just a coincidence. He could have handled it just as well without me."
Gu Haiting chatted with him for a while, didn't say much, and left quickly, as if he had just come to get to know him as he said.
Chen Chuan felt otherwise. Gao Ming had mentioned to him the other day that because of the Ferris Wheel Company joining the consortium, a company like Canglong Company, whose main business is overseas, could not help but feel the pressure and would not fail to respond.
As someone who had been attacked by the Ferris Wheel Company and was obviously at odds with the latter, he was a natural ally. Coupled with some previous relationships, it was very likely that he would contact him and test his attitude.
But there has been no movement for so many days, but I met this person here today. Could this be a coincidence?
He slowly drank the drink in his hand and waited to see what happened later.
He stayed here for more than two hours, chatting with Ding Mai and Fang Zhixin about his experiences in the army and the communication area, and trying to get to know Chen Bitong from the side. During this time, many people came up to him and made friends with him.
After the party ended, he exchanged contact information with Ding Mai and Fang Zhixin, and then walked out of the bar with everyone else.
But he did not leave the building immediately like everyone else. Instead, he returned to the training ground upstairs and saw Xiao Jin still waving his fists there dully.
He watched for a while and said, "Practicing boxing isn't about venting your inner resentment, nor is it about forcing yourself. Your alienated tissue will sense your emotions. The more you think that way, the more it will respond in kind, which will only limit you. Only when you truly enjoy it can you make greater progress."
Xiaojin stopped and looked at him.
Chen Chuan said: "No matter why you practice boxing, you always want to make yourself stronger. There are many ways to make yourself stronger, but you undoubtedly need to walk on the right path."
Chen Xiaojin thought about it and nodded.
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "You are talented. Don't waste your talent."
"I..." Chen Xiaojin hesitated, feeling somewhat unsure, but looking at him expectantly, "Do I have talent?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "In my opinion, you do. I think I have better vision than many people."
Chen Xiaojin nodded in conviction. Chen Chuan's previous demonstration and the previous contest made his words very convincing.
Chen Chuan said: "Then I'll be leaving. Remember not to train for too long and give your alienated fascia time to rest." After saying that, he turned and walked out.
"Captain Chen..."
Chen Chuan turned around and looked at him.
Chen Xiaojin tried to ask: "Can I add your contact information? I have some questions that I don't understand and want to ask you. Is that okay?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Okay." He clicked on the lower world pass, added contact with Chen Xiaojin, waved his hand, and then turned and left.
As he walked into the elevator, he heard the sound of the puppets being struck in the training ground again.
After leaving the building, he drove the Gard away. On the way, he contacted Counselor Pei. After the call was connected, the person on the other end said, "Wait a moment, I'll change the channel."
After a while, he was connected to a secret channel, and Counselor Pei said, "Captain Chen, please speak."
Chen Chuan said: "I have been to that training class, but I didn't see that person."
Counselor Pei said, "This person is visiting Chairman Quan today. It's a last-minute invitation, and we just received the news."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "But I did meet a lot of other people."
He talked about the people he met today, but he only mentioned Chen Xiaojin briefly without going into details.
After listening to this, Pei said, "If you didn't see anyone today, there's no need to worry. Let everything take its course.
He will definitely go to the theater on his next day off. If he gets a chance, he'll say a few words. If not, just show up. No need to make a big deal about it."
Chen Chuan said that he knew that if Chen Bitong appeared in public, the people he approached and contacted would surely be under the surveillance of the people in the Ministry of Defense, so there was no need for him to do anything extra.
After finishing the conversation, he did not go back immediately. Instead, he turned the steering wheel and went to Shenwei District to sit with Lu Fang who had returned to the central city.
I originally wanted to go and see the new place Wu Han had found, but after contacting him, I found out that Xiu Mu and Lao Qi were also out doing a commission.
Lao Qi wanted to make up for what he had lost before, because he always remembered the favor and money he owed Chen Chuan, while Wu Han was stubborn and didn't know what rest was. He had just arrived in the central city and was full of energy.
He also used the company's platform field signal to contact Lu Ke and Yu Gang. Everything has been normal recently. With the support of the integrated boundary company, the business share that was originally lost is being gradually recovered.
He came to an open area at this time, and there happened to be a green park next to it. So he stopped the car, walked out, and leaned his back against the car, just in time to see the towering buildings and colorful neon lights in the distance.
As his former classmates and friends gradually moved into the central city, he had more and more acquaintances in this city.
After joining the defense plan, with his current level, he could actually bring his aunt's family to live in the central city, but given the current situation, it would be safer for his family to stay in Yangzhi.
Besides, it is unlikely that my uncle will give up his position in the Police Bureau. There are still many things to coordinate, so we have to wait a little longer.
At least the threat from the Ferris wheel will be eliminated.
After watching for a while, a message suddenly came through the network. He answered it and Ni Qianqian's voice said, "Brother Chen, the first payment of compensation from Ferris Wheel Company to you has arrived at the bureau. Come and pick it up when you have time."
Chen Chuan said: "Okay, I'll be right over."
