The Amazing son in law Chapter 7155

Charlie Wade understood Aurora’s perspective and smiled, saying, “Any reasonable action should be conducted within a sensible range to maintain its reasonableness. When it goes beyond that range, it can become distorted or even counterproductive.”

Aurora nodded in agreement, adding, “Master Wade, I feel the same way. I don’t expect the organizing committee to always align with my personal views, but if their competition makes me uncomfortable, I won’t participate again.”

With a playful expression, Aurora stuck out her tongue and complained, “Honestly, I wasn’t keen on participating from the start. I believe that competitive events don’t really enhance genuine combat skills. Martial arts is more straightforward, devoid of all those restrictive rules and regulations. However, my dad insisted I take part. He wants me to win a few more championships while I’m still in university so that I can join the national team for the Olympics and apply to top universities like Peking University and Tsinghua University for graduate school. He values reputation and hopes I can attend those prestigious schools.”

Charlie Wade chuckled and responded, “Your father aspires for you to rise like a phoenix, which is quite understandable. He has worked hard to provide for the family, and it makes sense that he wishes for your continued success.”

Aurora gently nodded, replying, “Master Wade, I appreciate your insight, but sometimes I feel that if I want to pursue a professional career in a specific field, I can’t set too many diverse goals at once. Most athletes who apply to Peking University or Tsinghua University do so to enhance their resumes, and while there are many MBAs, fewer programs focus on sports. These pursuits are better suited for after retirement; otherwise, they become mere formalities. I don’t intend to be a professional athlete; I simply want to immerse myself in martial arts. If I go to school, I would likely spend two or three years or even longer studying, which would significantly impact my martial arts practice…”

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Athletes generally have a prime career span of over ten years, and once that period passes, they tend to fall behind in competitive sports. To achieve good results, they must dedicate their time to training during their peak years.”

Continuing with his thoughts, Charlie Wade added, “Martial arts, however, is an endless journey. Many individuals will never see the finish line in their lifetime. If you choose this path, it’s essential to maintain a calm mindset. At just 20 years old, you have at least 50 to 60 years ahead of you in martial arts. During this journey, you shouldn’t immerse yourself entirely in martial arts alone; otherwise, you may find that your time becomes limited and less fulfilling. While studying may not directly aid your martial arts practice, it can still offer many life benefits. If you’re open to reading and have the opportunity to do so, I encourage you to consider it.”

Aurora was touched by Charlie Wade’s words. Even though she was passionate about martial arts, she recognized the importance of his suggestion. Ultimately, a fulfilling and happy life is paramount. If all her energy was spent solely on martial arts, she might end up with regrets.

So, she nodded earnestly and said, “I will surely remember Master Wade’s advice. Continuing my education after my undergraduate studies is a wise choice. However, to apply to esteemed institutions like Peking University and Tsinghua University, I will need to secure more awards!”

Charlie Wade smiled and asked, “I recall that you’ve already been accepted to the national team, right?”

“Yes,” Aurora confirmed. “I’m still competing in college tournaments. Next year, the national team will likely send me to the official world championships. Unlike college competitions, the world championships will have many more masters participating. If I perform well there, I could have a chance to be recruited by the Olympic team.”

Charlie Wade nodded and encouraged her, saying, “At the very least, aim to bring back an Olympic championship as a stepping stone for your future. At that point, you can decide whether to continue competing or retire to focus on your studies based on your preferences. If you ever need my assistance, I’ll be here to help.”

Aurora replied with excitement, “Thank you, Master Wade! But I will do my utmost to achieve that Olympic championship first! I want to make sure I’m worthy of your care and support!”

Charlie Wade smiled and nodded lightly.

He admired Aurora’s character. She possessed the innate pride characteristic of someone from a wealthy background, yet she remained humble. She knew when to be confident and when to exercise humility. She never argued unnecessarily and didn’t dwell on herself. Such qualities are rare in today’s fast-paced society.

…

Once Charlie Wade saw Aurora take the stage to receive her award, he bid her farewell via text and left the martial arts hall on his own.
