Atlas of Heaven and Man

Fang Zhixin said, "Xiao Jin isn't bad compared to the average person. After all, he's Teacher Chen's son. He's shown talents beyond the ordinary at such a young age."

Saying this, he looked up at Chen Chuan, "But Captain Chen, do you think Xiao Jin can compare to you?"

He shook his head. "Don't even mention you. Even compared to Brother Ding, and the others here today, how do you think Xiao Jin measures up?"

Chen Chuan said, "That's not really a fair comparison."

He knew what Fang Zhixin was referring to. Xiao Jin's talents were better than average, but he didn't stand out much compared to elites.

But what determines whether a person will achieve something in the future isn't just talent. It's also a person's will, their own efforts, the resources invested in them in the future, and changes in the external environment.

It's too hasty to judge a person's entire life value based on just one stage.

"But Captain Chen, he's Teacher Chen's son, so he's bound to be compared like this. Xiao Jin can't avoid it."

Fang Zhixin explained, "Teacher Chen has always been surrounded by and in contact with outstanding students like Captain Chen, Captain Zhan, and the others here.

Even Xiao Jin's older siblings are very outstanding. Someone Xiao Jin's age is already learning how to fight the enemy in the Convergence Zone. You could say they're exceptional. Compared to them, Xiao Jin is just ordinary."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "I saw Xiao Jin practicing boxing today. It seems like he lacks systematic guidance?"

Fang Zhixin sighed softly and said, "Teacher Chen's energy is limited. He needs to put his limited time and more energy into those students with higher innate talent.

And he's stationed away from home all year round, rarely coming home. Since his wife passed away, he's also neglected Xiao Jin.

Many of us were teammates with his older brother and sister. Seeing them sacrificed one after another is heartbreaking. We really don't want to see Xiao Jin, Teacher Chen's only remaining son, go down this path as well. His talent isn't high, which might not be a bad thing for him."

Chen Chuan said, "Then have you asked Xiao Jin what he thinks?"

Fang Zhixin was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

They respected Teacher Chen very much, and they also had the camaraderie of colleagues with Xiao Jin's older siblings, but they didn't have that much affection for Xiao Jin.

They're willing to take care of him when they can, but they all have their own things to do. They don't have the heart or energy to understand a teenager's thoughts.

Besides, it's not their place to interfere.

Chen Chuan said, "Although you think so, I see that Xiao Jin is still working very hard. It seems he hasn't given up on this path."

"Yes, Xiao Jin is very hardworking."

Fang Zhixin affirmed this. He sighed and said, "Just as persistent as his older brother and sister. However, there's a clear gap in talent between them. No matter how hard he works, he can't catch up.

Besides, Xiao Jin is very introverted. He usually doesn't talk to anyone, but I seemed to see him talking to you just now. That's rare."

Chen Chuan didn't think this was strange. Teenagers like Xiao Jin might not have fully matured mentally, and they lack experience, but they know very well who is really good to them.

Just as the two of them were talking, someone from the opposite table walked over. When he got closer, he greeted Fang Zhixin and Ding Mai, then looked at Chen Chuan. He extended his hand, smiling, and said, "Captain Chen, let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Haiting."

Chen Chuan stood up and shook his hand. Although this person wasn't wearing a uniform, judging from his confident demeanor and his familiarity with the people around him, he was probably from a high-ranking military family. Without a doubt, he was from the same circle.

Gu Haiting said with a smile, "I currently work in the public relations department of Canglong Corporation. I heard Chief Sun mention you. I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's a pleasure."

Chen Chuan's heart stirred slightly. He said, "How is Senior Brother Sun? We haven't seen each other since the cruise ship incident."

"Chief Sun is doing well. He's still in charge of the cruise ship project. He recently returned to Central City. He also said that if it hadn't been for Captain Chen's help last time, things might have been difficult to handle."

Chen Chuan said, "Senior Sun is too kind. It was just a coincidence at the time. Even without me, he could have handled it just as well."

Gu Haiting chatted with him for a few words, not saying much, and soon left, seemingly just coming over to get acquainted as he said.

Chen Chuan felt that this wasn't the case. Gao Ming had mentioned to him that because Skywheel Corporation had joined the consortium, companies like Canglong Corporation, whose main business was overseas, couldn't possibly not feel the pressure and wouldn't do anything.

And he, who had been attacked by Skywheel Corporation and was clearly at odds with the latter, was a natural ally. Coupled with some past relationships, it was very likely that they would contact him and probe his attitude.

It's just that there hadn't been any movement for so many days, but today he ran into this person here. Could this be a coincidence?

He slowly drank the beverage in his hand, waiting to see what would happen later.

He stayed here for more than two hours, chatting with Ding Mai and Fang Zhixin about some military and Convergence Zone experiences, and indirectly tried to learn about Chen Bitong. During this time, many people took the initiative to come up and make his acquaintance.

After the gathering, he exchanged contact information with Ding Mai and Fang Zhixin, and walked out of the bar with everyone.

However, he didn't leave the building immediately like the others. Instead, he returned to the training ground upstairs and saw Xiao Jin still punching there in a dull manner.

He watched for a while and said, "Practicing boxing isn't about venting inner anger, nor is it about forcing yourself. Your alienized tissue will sense your emotions. The more you think like this, the more it will give you feedback like this. That will only limit you. Only when you feel real joy from it can you gain greater progress."

Xiao Jin stopped his movements and looked at him.

Chen Chuan said, "No matter what you're practicing boxing for, you always have to make yourself stronger. There are many ways to make yourself stronger, but undoubtedly you need to be on the right path."

Chen Xiaojin thought for a moment and nodded.

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "You have talent. Don't waste your talent."

"I…" Chen Xiaojin hesitated for a moment. He was a little unconfident, but looked over with a hint of expectation. "Do I have talent…"

Chen Chuan said, "In my opinion, you do. I think I should have a good eye for talent more than many people."

Chen Xiaojin nodded convincingly. Chen Chuan's previous demonstration and the competition just now made his words very persuasive.

Chen Chuan said, "Then I'm leaving. Remember not to train for too long. Give your alienized fascia time to rest." After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Captain Chen…"

Chen Chuan turned back and looked at him.

Chen Xiaojin tried to ask, "Can I add your contact information? I have some questions that I can't figure out and want to ask you. I don't know if I can?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Yes." He tapped his interface and added Chen Xiaojin's contact information, waved his hand, and then turned and left.

As he walked into the elevator, he heard the sound of hitting the human dummy coming from the training ground again.

After leaving the building, he drove the Gade car away from here. On the way, he contacted Councilor Pei. After connecting, the other side said, "Wait a moment, I'll switch to a channel."

After a while, he was connected to a secret channel. Councilor Pei said, "Captain Chen, please speak."

Chen Chuan said, "I've been to that training class, but I didn't see that person."

Councilor Pei said, "This person went to Chairman Quan's place as a guest today. This was a temporary invitation, and we only received the news just now."

Chen Chuan said, "But I did see many other people."

He talked about the people he saw today, but he only mentioned Chen Xiaojin briefly, without going into detail.

After Councilor Pei listened, he said, "If you didn't see the person today, there's no need to rush. Let everything take its course.

When the next rest day comes, he will definitely go to the theater. If you have the opportunity, say a few words. If you don't have the opportunity, just show your face. There's no need to be too deliberate."

Chen Chuan indicated that he understood. If Chen Bitong appeared in public, the people he approached and contacted would probably be under the eyes of the people responsible for monitoring in the Defense Department. There was no need for him to do anything extra.

After ending the conversation, he didn't go back immediately. Instead, he turned the steering wheel and went to Shenwei District to sit with Lu Fang, who had returned to Central City.

He originally wanted to go to the residence that Wu Hanxin had found to take a look, but after contacting him, he found that he and Lao Qi were also out doing commissions during their rest day.

Lao Qi wanted to make up for what he had been lacking before, because he always remembered owing Chen Chuan favors and money. Wu Han, on the other hand, was single-minded, didn't know what rest was, and was full of energy now that he had just arrived in Central City.

He also used the company's platform field signal to contact Lu Ke and Yu Gang. Recently, everything was normal. With the support of the Convergence Boundary Company, the business share that was originally lost was gradually being recovered.

At this time, he came to an open space. There happened to be a green park next to it, so he stopped the car, got out, and leaned against the car, just able to see the towering buildings and the gorgeous neon lights in the distance.

As former classmates and friends gradually entered Central City, he also had more and more acquaintances in this city.

After participating in the defense plan, at his current level, he could actually bring his aunt's family to live in Central City, but with the current situation, it was safer for his family to stay in Yangzhi.

Moreover, his uncle was unlikely to give up his position in the patrol bureau. There were still many things to coordinate, so he had to wait a little longer.

At least the threat from Skywheel had to be eliminated.

After watching for a while, a message suddenly came from his interface. He answered it, and Ni Qianqian's voice rang out, "Little Brother Chen, Skywheel Corporation's first compensation to you has arrived at the bureau. Come and get it when you're free."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, I'll come over now."
