Charlie nodded lightly, then asked, “But I heard your dad say that you don’t want to return to China.”
Zoey explained, “The main reason is that he and I can’t really talk. When I was young, he was always too busy making money and flying all over the world. He would leave constantly, giving me little if any time to experience my father’s love, leaving us with a strained and rigid father-daughter relationship for a long time. It got worse after my mother passed away, and I was reluctant to come to China. Honestly, it was just an excuse to reject him.”
Zoey sighed and continued, “Actually, I have thought about it myself. Even if I don’t want to fix the relationship with him now, when he gets really old, I’ll still find a way to get closer and help take care of him. But for now he’s only in his fifties, and he’s not yet reached the time when he will relax…”
Charlie nodded in understanding, “If you think it’s too difficult for the two of you to rebuild, it is actually unnecessary that you go to Aurous Hills now. Your father’s greatest hope is that you are safe. If you still want some space and privacy for the time being, I believe he will understand.”
Zoey blurted out, “But I promised you…”
She then realized something else, and said ashamedly, “But now you must find it difficult to think I’d be competent for the job. After all, I made such a big mistake in judging the situation. It proves that my ability and temperament are still not good enough……”
Charlie waved his hand, “They’re not the same thing. If a person misjudges their friend, it does not mean they’ll make mistakes with other things. I’ve always believed that genius definitely does not follow the barrel effect: A person who is balanced in everything is not talented, only mediocre! Only a person who is extremely strong in a certain aspect is a true talent! If you are someone who is very strong in certain aspects, then you are a genius!”
