Can I ever succeed? I've been trying to land a 4A, a.k.a. the Quad Axel. Only a few people have been able to land it. I'm not new to the concept, I know exactly how to do the jumps and landings. I can't seem to pull it off though.
"You can do it Xu Kai!"
My staff keep on cheering me on even though I've been trying this jump for years. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve their support. It's as if I don't even exist in the world, so some might ask, why do I keep on trying to skate and become something in the ice skating world? Well, it's been my dream since I was young. I've been skating since forever actually.
"Xu Kai! Come quick! There's someone in the manager's office looking for you!"
I stop skating, who could be looking for me? I head to the entrance of the rink and ask the staff, "Who is it?"
"I don't know, to be honest. It sure looks like a foreigner though. America maybe? He talks fluent Chinese though."
I get off the rink and start heading off to my manager's office. Gu Yanzhen. That's his name, he is like my bestie, we get along quite well. If he didn't come get me himself, it must be a serious matter.
"Any extra information about the guy? Maybe any hints or something that Mr. Gu gave you?"
"Nope," my staff says, "just what I just told you. Sorry Kai."
I nod in understanding and walk in the office. I'm a little sweaty because I had been skating, but I look presentable.
I bow and say, "Hi! My name is Xu Kai. Nice to meet you sir."
The guy stands up and bows as well. It scares me a bit to think of the possibilities of who he might be. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and is very tall to say the least. He also looks super young, he is probably around his 20s. Very handsome I dare to add. "Hello Mr. Xu Kai!"
He speaks fluent Chinese, as my staff member said.. He gestures for me to sit down so we can talk. I sit down and look at my manager. He looks at me with a very excited face, as if something big is happening. I decide to take that as a sign that I will be getting a huge offer today. I sit straight and try to look as professional as possible.
"So Mr. Xu, I understand from what I've heard, that you aren't a very popular skater. I'd like to offer you a deal. The company will pay you very generously."
I look nervously at the guy. Am I getting hired to do something right now? "May I ask, what is it that I'm doing, Mr..."
"Oh sorry, I'm Mr. Smith!" We shake hands. "You will just have to teach someone how to skate. Basic skills, like standing on ice, moving and eventually just normal skating. We will pay you 100 thousand dollars every class you give them."
I think about it, why so much money? Could it be that I'm teaching someone very important?
"I... don't know what to say. Why so much money?"
"Well, that information, I will leave it to the person themselves to tell you. Nothing to worry about though, it's not for a crime or anything illegal!" He chuckles after he says that.
I guess I don't have to worry about that then, but who is this mysterious person? Why does he avoid saying names or anything about them?
Mr. Smith turns around and grabs an open folder that was in front of my manager. He closes it, puts it in front of me and opens it again. "You can take your time and read this contract. We won't inconvenience any of your activities such as shows and other stuff. You only have to teach this person 1 time a week if necessary. We would prefer for you to teach this person more that 1 time a week, but if it is impossible, it's completely okay."
I keep on reading on, about how I shouldn't disrespect "the student", again with not hinting who it is. Something about how I should be able to teach them how to at least move a little bit on the ice in a 3 months span.
I look at my manager, and he looks at me like, Dude what are you waiting for?!?!? Sign it!!!
I look at it one more time, I read all the small print but nothing seems to be wrong with the contract. I grab the pen that has been nicely attached to the folder, and I sign,
XU KAI.
