Chapter 287: Chapter 287: A Dream of Wealth!

"I thought after teaching you all morning you still hadn’t got it, but it turns out you just needed to be let go."

Hey, you’re actually skiing pretty well now!

Both of them were skiing one after another when suddenly a panicked shriek came from behind, "Ahhh! Move out of the way, move!"

Ye Zhenzhen looked back, her pupils constricted. The girl was the same one who had asked her boyfriend to teach her skiing at the bottom of the slope earlier.

Seeing that the girl was about to crash into her and Song Jinze, with Zhenzhen at the front unable to ski uphill because of her board, she thought of reaching out to pull Song Jinze aside, to prevent him from being knocked over by the girl.

After teaching him for so long without letting him fall even once, now that she had finally let go and let him ski by himself, it would be a blow to him if he were to be knocked down.

Maybe the man wouldn’t be able to!

However, before she could extend her hand and speak, she saw the man bend one long leg and perform a beautiful sharp turn, swiftly moving beside her, then wrapping an arm around her waist. They spun half a circle on the slope with ease, effortlessly avoiding the novice skier.

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

She had a clear view of that sharp turn he just did. She hadn’t even taught him how to do that yet!

She looked up at the lower half of the man’s face that was covered by the goggles and asked incredulously, "Song Jinze, can you ski?"

A move like that was definitely not something a beginner, who had never skied before, could pull off, let alone without any practice.

Inside, Song Jinze heaved a sigh of relief. He had seen the woman’s fear of him falling earlier; if he hadn’t skied down to her side to avoid the others, it was quite likely that she would have been the one to fall.

Now facing her question, his tense heart was quickly calming down. He said lightly, "If you thought I could ski, would you have taught me?"

"I don’t believe it, the way you were skiing just now isn’t something a beginner can manage," said Ye Zhenzhen confidently.

So, why would this man pretend not to know how to ski and ask her for lessons?

Could it be that he wanted the opportunity to get closer to her?

No, no, that theory doesn’t hold up. It couldn’t be that he harbored such calculated thoughts towards her; that would be too outlandish.

She considered herself not bad looking, but this man was no ordinary man, and she wouldn’t indulge in such wild fantasies.

Then what was it for?

She just couldn’t figure it out.

Song Jinze bent down, leaned in close to Ye Zhenzhen’s ear, and whispered, "Of course, I learned it from you. Didn’t you do the same move this morning?"

The live-streamed race that morning, he glanced at it on his way to the resort. It was when this woman executed that sharp carve turn.

Speaking of the morning, Ye Zhenzhen remembered too; she indeed used the move that the man had just tried. So, did this man learn it after just one look, not needing any practice at all?

She immediately covered her mouth, a shocked expression on her face, "You... you’re simply a genius!"

Just after letting go and being able to maintain balance, to be able to perform such cool moves from memory, if that isn’t genius, then what is?

"Mrs. Song evaluating me so highly makes me very happy."

"It’s a fact, I guess." Under her goggles, Ye Zhenzhen’s gaze toward Song Jinze suddenly filled with admiration.

She thought that a man who ran such a huge conglomerate couldn’t possibly not know how to ski. It turned out he had only been warming up earlier.

Although this reason felt a bit far-fetched to Ye Zhenzhen as she thought about it, she didn’t dare think along other lines, especially the thought that the man had been calculatingly pretending not to know how to ski, and then sought her out to teach him.

Song Yuchen and Cheng Jiaming had taken several runs together on the intermediate slopes, both having a great time. By the time they slid to the bottom, Cheng Jiaming wanted to teach Song Yuchen a trick and ended up toppling over himself.

"Ouch— that really hurts!" This was his first fall while skiing today, and he had landed on his little bum; it did hurt a bit.

Song Yuchen came over to help Cheng Jiaming, "Cheng Jiaming, you’re so skilled, how could you still fall?"

"Hey, I didn’t want to fall either. It really hurts."

Song Yuchen went to comfort his little buddy, "Then rest on the snowboard for a while, a rest will make you feel much better."

"Okay!" Cheng Jiaming sat on the snowboard and then looked at the adults about to slide down, "Hahaha, my dad actually needs my mom to guide him, he really doesn’t know how to ski!"

Song Yuchen pouted, "Your dad knows how to ski; it’s my dad who doesn’t. It’s been the whole afternoon, and he’s been holding on to Ye Zhenzhen!"

Because of that, he hadn’t had the chance to play with Ye Zhenzhen.

After saying this, Song Yuchen’s peripheral vision caught a small stone. He picked it up and looked at it in his hand, "Why would there be a stone on the ski slope?"

Cheng Jiaming immediately spoke up, "That’s my stone, it must have fallen out of my coat pocket."

Song Yuchen was puzzled, "Why do you keep this stone on you? Is it because it’s pretty?"

Cheng Jiaming shook his head, took the stone back from Song Yuchen’s hand, "No, it’s not. I dug this stone up with an excavator outside a few days ago. I wanted to give it to you. I forgot at lunchtime, so I’ll give it to you now!"

Song Yuchen furrowed his little brow and asked, "Why are you giving me a stone, what’s the use?"

Cheng Jiaming held up the stone against the sunlight, "Don’t underestimate this little stone. I looked at it with a magnifying glass at home and there’s a piece of jade inside it. Look, can you see it?"

"I can’t see it!" Song Yuchen shook his head; he couldn’t see anything.

Cheng Jiaming sighed, "Well, never mind. You don’t understand. Just keep the stone, I’m giving it to you."

Then, the stone in Cheng Jiaming’s hand once again found its way back to Song Yuchen’s hand.

Song Yuchen didn’t quite understand what the stone was for, and then Cheng Jiaming added, "One stone is too little, never mind. Wait for me to dig up more in the future. I’ll get people from my grandfather’s side to cut the stone open, and we can carve things from the jade inside. We’ll be rich!"

"Rich?" Song Yuchen blinked his eyes, looking at Cheng Jiaming with puzzlement.

They were just kids; how could they be thinking about getting rich?

Cheng Jiaming nodded, "Yeah, rich! That means having lots and lots of money. You have an excavator too, don’t you? When you’re digging holes later, remember to look out for stones like this that contain jade. My grandfather told me that these green stones can be valuable!

Especially if they’re crafted into products, they’d be priceless, even with money! If we dig up more, we’ll have lots and lots of money!"

Song Yuchen was speechless. He drew a deep breath and said to Cheng Jiaming, "I didn’t expect someone as young as you to have dreams of getting rich. While others have the Chinese Dream, you’ve got the riches dream! That’s rather impressive!"
