Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 483: Inside Information

Fang Zhixin said, "Little Jin is indeed better than the average person. After all, he is Master Chen's son, and he has shown talents beyond ordinary people at a young age."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Chen Chuan, "But Captain Chen, do you think Little Jin can compare to you?"

He shook his head, "Don't even mention comparing him to you. Even comparing him to Brother Ding and the others present today, how do you think Little Jin would fare?"

Chen Chuan said, "Such a comparison is actually not appropriate."

He knew what Fang Zhixin meant. Little Jin's talent was better than average, but he didn't seem outstanding compared to elites.

But what determines whether a person will achieve something in the future is not just talent, but also a person's will, their 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 just one stage.

"But Captain Chen, he is Master Chen's son, so he will definitely be compared like this. This is something Little Jin cannot avoid."

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

Even Little Jin's older siblings are very excellent. Little Jin's older siblings were already learning how to fight enemies in the Convergence Zone at his age. Compared to them, Little Jin is just mediocre."

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

Fang Zhixin sighed softly and said, "Master Chen's energy is limited. He needs to spend his limited time and more energy on students with higher talents.

And he is often at the Base, rarely returning home. Since his wife passed away, he has also neglected Little Jin.

As for the relationship between the father and son, how should I put it? Although it's not terrible, they only exchange greetings when they meet. In our eyes, sometimes he seems like a stranger to Little Jin, even less close than the nanny who is responsible for taking care of Little Jin at home.

As for us, although we have also seen that Little Jin's training direction may be a bit off, to be honest, this will at most limit his achievements, but it won't cause any problems.

Many of us were teammates with his older brother and sister, and we felt bad seeing them sacrificed one after another. We really don't want to see Little Jin, the teacher's last remaining son, also embark on this path. His talent is not high, which may not be a bad thing for him."

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

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

They respected Master Chen very much, and they also had colleague-like feelings for Little Jin's older siblings, but they didn't have that much emotion for Little Jin.

They were willing to take care of him when they could, but they all had their own things to do. They didn't have the mind or energy to understand a young man's thoughts.

Besides, it wasn't their place to interfere.

Chen Chuan said, "Although you think so, I see that Little Jin is still working very hard and doesn't seem to be giving up on this path."

"Yes, Little Jin is very hardworking."

Fang Zhixin affirmed this point. He sighed and said, "He is as persistent as his older siblings, but there is a clear gap in talent between them. No matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up.

Besides, Little 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 this was strange. Young men like Little Jin may not be fully mature in mind and lack experience, but they know very well who is really good to them.

Just as the two were talking, someone from the opposite table walked over. After approaching, he greeted Fang Zhixin and Ding Mai, then looked at Chen Chuan. He extended his hand and said with a smile, "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, it was clear that he came from a high-ranking military family and was undoubtedly in the same circle.

Gu Haiting smiled and said, "I currently work in the public relations department of Sea Dragon Company. I heard Supervisor Sun mention you. I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's a pleasure."

Chen Chuan's heart stirred slightly. He said, "Is Senior Brother Sun doing well? We haven't seen each other since we parted ways on the cruise ship last time."

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

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

Gu Haiting chatted with him for a few words and didn't say much else before leaving quickly, seemingly just coming over to get acquainted as he said.

Chen Chuan didn't think so. Gao Ming had mentioned to him that day that because Ferris Wheel Corporation had joined the Union, companies like Sea Dragon Company, whose main business was in the Outer Ocean, couldn't possibly not feel the pressure and wouldn't do nothing.

And he, who had been attacked by Ferris Wheel 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 come to contact him and test his attitude.

But there had been no movement for so many days, and yet he encountered this person here today. Could this be a coincidence?

He slowly sipped his drink, deciding to wait and see.

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

Finally, after the gathering ended, he exchanged contact details with Ding Mai and Fang Zhixin and left the bar with everyone.

However, he didn't leave the building immediately like the others. Instead, he returned to the training ground upstairs, where he saw Little Jin still throwing punches in silence.

He watched for a while and said, "Practicing boxing is not about venting inner resentment, nor is it about forcing yourself. Your Mutated Tissue will feel your emotions. The more you think like this, the more it will give you feedback, which will only limit you. Only when you feel real joy in it can you make greater progress."

Little Jin's movements stopped, and he looked at him.

Chen Chuan said, "No matter what you practice boxing for, you always have to make yourself stronger. There are many ways to make yourself stronger, but they all undoubtedly require walking 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. He looked over with some lack of confidence and some expectation, "Do I have talent..."

Chen Chuan said, "In my opinion, you do. I think I should have a better eye than most people."

Chen Xiaojin nodded in conviction. Chen Chuan's previous demonstration and the contest just now made his words very convincing.

Chen Chuan said, "Then I'll leave. Remember not to train for too long. Give your mutated 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 details? I have some questions that I can't figure out and want to ask you. Is that okay?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Yes." He tapped the Boundary Token, added contact information with Chen Xiaojin, waved his hand, and then turned and left.

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

After leaving the building, he drove away in his Jiade car. On the way, he contacted Councilor Pei. After the connection was established, 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 have been to that training class, but I didn't see that person."

Councilor Pei said, "He went to Council President Quan's place as a guest today. This was a temporary invitation, and we only received the news."

Chen Chuan said, "But I did see a lot of other people."

He talked about the people he met today, but he only mentioned Chen Xiaojin in passing and didn't go into detail.

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

He will definitely go to the theater on the next Holiday. If you have the opportunity, say a few words. If not, just show your face and don't be too deliberate."

Chen Chuan said he understood. If Chen Bitong appeared in public, the people he approached and contacted would likely be under the eyes of those responsible for monitoring in the Ministry of Defense, so he didn't need to do anything extra.

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

He originally wanted to go to Wu Han's new residence, but after contacting him, he found out that Wu Han and Old Qi were out doing commissions during the Holiday.

Old Qi wanted to make up for what he had missed before because he always remembered the favor and money he owed Chen Chuan, while Wu Han was single-minded, didn't know what rest was, and was full of energy since he had just arrived in Central City.

He then used the company's platform energy field signal to contact Lu Ke and Yu Gang. Everything had been normal recently. With the support of Fusion Boundary Company, the previously lost business share was gradually being recovered.

He then came to an open space, with a green park right next to it, so he stopped the car, got out, and leaned against the car, able to see the distant towering buildings and the dazzling neon lights.

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

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

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.

At least the threat from Ferris Wheel had to be eliminated.

After watching for a while, a message suddenly came from the Boundary Token. He answered it, and Ni Qianxi's voice rang out, "Little Chen, the first compensation from Ferris Wheel Corporation for you personally has arrived at the bureau. Come over and get it when you have time."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, I'll be right over."
