"A Yue, your dribbling was so cool!"
After seeing Wang Yue's final dribble, Wang Manni was still thrilled on the way home. She kept praising him, but after a while, she suddenly looked at him suspiciously and asked,
"A Yue, how are you so good at soccer? You don't look like a beginner at all. It wasn't like this when we practiced at home!"
Wang Yue had known Wang Manni would be suspicious, so he bluffed, "We had cuju back in my day. It was pretty similar to the soccer you play now, but cuju focused more on physical contact. I've played before; I just couldn't show what I could do at home."
Wang Manni was instantly convinced. With a sigh, she said, "So that's how it is. What a shame the National Football Team gets crushed by everyone they play these days. They've really disgraced our ancestors!"
Wang Yue didn't want to keep talking about that. Instead, he smiled and said, "You've pretty much learned to ride a horse. Have you thought about when you might start a school to teach things like chess and traditional instruments?"
Wang Manni frowned at that. "Starting an arts school just means renting a place and hiring staff, doesn't it? Once you have enough students, you can open one whenever you like, right?"
Wang Yue had to admit she'd summed it up well, but she didn't need to keep doing that. He patiently explained, "It's not that simple. And at the beginning, you don't need to rent a place.
"For example, with riding lessons, you could talk to a stable. Once you've hired the instructors, you could have them teach the students there.
"For chess lessons, you could rent space from a training center that already has a suitable venue and hold classes
