Chapter 336 The Road Not Envisioned

Originally, Chen Chu asked Yan Mao to talk to him on Monday, but Yan Mao still had no idea.

So Yan Mao thought about it for a few days, and then Chen Chu called Yan Mao to the office.

"How is it? After thinking about it for a few days, do you have any ideas about your future?"

Yan Mao still shook his head.

"Don't you have any special ideas about your future?"

Yan Mao smiled bitterly: "Old Chen, I really don't have any ideas. After all, I know what I am like. I can't study well and I don't have anything eye-catching. What ideas can I have?"

You are quite self-aware!

"Then let me ask you some questions first! Do you plan to inherit the family business in the future?"

Yan Mao shook his head decisively: "I don't want to inherit my father's property!"

"why?"

"I don't like it! It's too restrictive!" Yan Mao said quickly: "And it's a headache for one person to take care of so many things. With my IQ, I don't think I can do such a thing! And I've already told you about these things. Dad made it clear, no matter what, don’t leave your family’s property to me in the future!”

"My father also knows my virtues, so he has no intention of handing over the property to me. He said that if he handed it over to me, the reputation of the Yan family would be ruined in my hands."

"Anyway, he said that I can do whatever I want in the future, and let me support myself. At most, he will give me some living expenses when I starve to death. If I break the law, he will send me there himself." Yan Mao shrugged, somewhat indifferently. : "These are his exact words!"

"Anyway, I'm just a waste in his eyes..."

When he said this, Yan Mao couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Chen Chu suddenly knew what to say to comfort Yan Mao.

This father-son relationship is...

No wonder that during the picnic, most of the parents came to see their children off in person, and only Yan Mao’s family saw their children off by their drivers.

Sure enough, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Some parents are too pampering, and some simply don't take their children seriously...

Of course, this cannot simply be blamed on the parents.

After all, Yan Mao's performance in the past was really... Mud can't hold up the wall.

Anyway, if it were my old Chen family, my legs would have been broken countless times.

Chen Chu couldn't help but patted Yan Mao on the shoulder and said seriously: "Everything will change. As long as you work hard enough, you can change everyone's view of you! In this regard, the teacher will absolutely support you unconditionally!"

"And you've found your talent!"

Yan Mao said dumbfounded: "Ah? What kind of talent do you have! How to cut vegetables?"

"It's not about cutting vegetables, it's about your ability to control your hands!" Chen Chu said with a serious face: "Look how skilled you are at cutting vegetables now, and how good your knife skills are. The teacher is not kidding you. Today’s knife skills are at the level of professional chefs, this is talent, and most people can’t learn it!”

"You have extraordinary control over your hands, especially knives. This is your talent!" Chen Chu said quickly: "As long as you grasp this talent, your future will be bright. You can go for surgery." The chief surgeon can also do work related to medical anatomy, sculpt, cook, and much more, but the prerequisite is that you can give full play to your talents!"

Yan Mao was stunned by what Chen Chu said.

"So on this basis, imagine, if you have this kind of talent, what do you want to do in the future? Be a world-famous surgeon, a master sculptor, a famous chef, or..."

"I've thought about it!" Yan Mao interrupted Chen Chu and immediately said with joy on his face: "Old Chen, I know what I should do."

"what?"

"I want to be a knife forger! I want to design all kinds of knives and make them with my own hands." A happy smile suddenly appeared on Yan Mao's face: "I feel very happy just thinking about it! "

"..."

you this……

It’s a path I never imagined!

Why did you run towards the swordsmith?

"Well, Yan Mao, this can become a hobby, and of course it can also be a career!" Chen Chu thought about it and quickly asked: "Do you have any other ideas besides this?"

Yan Mao said seriously: "No, I just want to become a knifesmith! It doesn't matter even if no one supports me."

"..."

Chen Chu naturally knew why Yan Mao had this idea.Because the current talent has not yet truly awakened, there is a transitional state.

And this transitional state is often a bit abnormal, a bit obsessed and irrational.

Moreover, this transitional state has happened to many people in Class [-], but it has basically been a normal transition.

However, Yan Mao was still in the transition period. At this time, Yan Mao was obviously a little irrational.

However, Chen Chu did not refute, nor did he forcibly correct Yan Mao's direction. Instead, he smiled and said, "That's a very interesting idea. Let me ask you, teacher, what do you need to know if you want to become a knifesmith?" ?"

"Well, material selection? For example, what material is good for a knife?" Yan Mao obviously has not studied this topic carefully.

"It's not that simple. Let me give you a kitchen knife as an example!" Chen Chu thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about the material issue. To make a kitchen knife that is easy to use, the design must also be done. It takes a lot of effort and you need to take into account human mechanics, cutting habits, aesthetics, etc., which all require a lot of knowledge on your part!”

"Just like the short knife the teacher gave you, countless knowledge and skills were incorporated into it. If you think it is beautiful and easy to use, that is the final result presented to you, and the process is not as good as what you see. It’s simple, you have to go through a series of processes such as material selection, design, forging, molding, etc. If there is anything wrong with each step, the knife will be destroyed directly.”

"If you want to become a knife forger, the teacher will naturally be very supportive, but the prerequisite is that you have to study hard and master all relevant knowledge!" Chen Chu said seriously: "As long as you work hard Study and work hard, and you will eventually gain something.”

“And remember, never give up on anything halfway, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!”

After talking about it, Chen Chu asked Yan Mao to go back to the classroom.

Anyway, he basically emphasizes this last sentence to every student.

If you want to do something, you have to work hard and do it with all your heart. You must not give up halfway.

Diligence and talent are essential.

Laziness will only make your talent mediocre.

After all, those who are truly gifted often have to work harder than ordinary people.

Life will not give you a chance to come back again.

Yan Mao wanted to become a knifesmith, but Chen Chu didn't have much objection.

After all, it is a direction worthy of development. Maybe the kitchen knives designed by Yan Mao in the future will be domestic products.

Chen Chu scratched his head.

"It's a pity that there don't seem to be people in related industries among my classmates..."

"I still have to buy some relevant books for Yan Mao to read."

After there were no classes that afternoon, Chen Chu went to the bookstore.

After all, Yan Mao himself definitely didn't know where to start in order to become a knifesmith, and how to study systematically to truly master the relevant knowledge and skills quickly.

After shopping around, Chen Chu bought almost a dozen books, which basically covered a complete process from entry to advanced.

Especially the one that talks about the aesthetics of knife body design is almost as thick as a Xinhua dictionary, and this is just an introduction.

It's enough, and it's up to the children to perform on their own later.

I gave it to Yan Mao during evening self-study.

Then Yan Mao looked at the thick stack of books and was dumbfounded.

"Here, take it! This is the basic introductory course for you to become a knifesmith. The teacher has chosen it for you!"

"..."

The corner of Yan Mao's mouth twitched.

"emmm..."

"If you dare to go back on your word now and give it a try?"

Yan Mao decisively closed his mouth, forced a smile and picked up the book: "Thank you, teacher... for your love."

After a while, the students in Class [-] saw Yan Mao carrying a pile of books to their seats.

The expression should be as depressing as it is depressing.

Everyone looked at each other.

When Liu Yuchen and Tian Xiao saw this, they couldn't hold it back and laughed while slapping the table.

Hahahahaha!
After all, their two books combined are not half as thick as Yan Mao's...
