Fang Zhixin said, "Xiaojin is better than the average person, that's for sure. He's Teacher Chen's son, after all, and he showed talent beyond his peers at a young age."
At this, he looked up at Chen Chuan. "But, Captain Chen, do you think Xiaojin can compare to you?"
He shook his head. "Forget you. How do you think Xiaojin compares to Brother Ding, or the others here today?"
Chen Chuan said, "That's not really a fair comparison."
He knew what Fang Zhixin was getting at. Xiaojin's talent was better than average, but it wasn't particularly outstanding when compared to the elite.
But a person's future achievements aren't determined by talent alone. There's also their willpower, their own effort, the resources invested in them, and changes in their external environment.
'Judging a person's entire life's worth based on a single phase is far too rash.'
"But Captain Chen, he's Teacher Chen's son. He's bound to be compared like this. It's something Xiaojin can't avoid."
