Chapter 101 Avalanche Review
In February 2034, the Rango Ski Resort in Washington State, USA, welcomed a rare sunny day after days of heavy snow.
"Mr. He, the sky is finally clear! We should be able to finish our inspection and go home soon." The man who spoke could not hide his excitement.
He was wearing a boring black suit, a navy blue tie, and carrying a briefcase, the most typical secretary outfit.
Opposite him stood a woman in her thirties, who looked low-key but was dressed in designer clothes. Her bag was a rare and priceless H brand. She wore a camel-colored coat, a white turtleneck sweater and white suit pants. She had a black leather belt tied around her waist, which matched the black high-heeled shiny leather shoes on her feet.
"Yes." The woman called Ms. He looked out from the glass window of the lobby.
Ms. He’s full name is He Hui. She is the current CEO of the He Group and the eldest daughter of the He family who has lived a wealthy life since childhood.
What comes into view is large areas of white - heavy snow covers the mountains in the distance, reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight.
Hiss, it’s giving me a headache.
He Hui rubbed his temples, turned his head away and sat on the sofa, and asked in a cold voice: "Zhu Bei, what did the guide say? Can we go up the mountain in the next two days?"
"I'll go ask now." Zhu Bei bent down and turned to leave, muttering, "I really hope we can still go back in time for the New Year..."
Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, and the originally scheduled hotel inspection trip had to be postponed due to bad weather. If it is not a good time, He Hui will not be able to catch up with the warm moment of gathering together for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Lango Ski Resort is a world-famous ski resort with soft and smooth snow. If you are lucky, you can also encounter the traceless powder snow that everyone dreams of. The facilities around the ski resort have been gradually improved in recent years, but the resort hotel has not yet been built.
There are many business tycoons who want this piece of land, and apart from Mr. He, everyone else has been contacted one after another.
The purpose of He Hui's trip to the United States was to investigate the preliminary site selection work for expanding overseas markets. Before coming to Lango Ski Resort, he also visited several other ski resorts and collected a lot of information.
However, because it was only in the early stages, only she and Zhu Bei were traveling this time.
The He Group is the largest real estate tycoon in China. It started its high-end resort hotel business 15 years ago. He Hui, who had just graduated from a well-known foreign business school, took over the hotel business as soon as he joined his own company and had experience in all positions.
Two years ago, He Hui relied on her own efforts to turn the hotel line into the company's most profitable business. This was unanimously recognized by the board of directors and shareholders, and she was successfully promoted to executive president.
This time they stayed in an affordable chain hotel, which offered good value for money.
He Hui made a cup of hot American coffee from the coffee machine, took two sips, and then calmly placed it on the coffee table.
Tsk. How should I put it, it's really hard to drink.
Fortunately, Zhu Bei came back with a guide.
The guide was a Chinese man called Chen, who had lived near the snowy mountains since childhood and knew all the information about the Rango Ski Resort. He was also a frequent visitor to major ski resorts in the United States.
During the three days of getting along before the blizzard, Guide Chen demonstrated quite reliable professional ability.
Therefore, He Hui and Zhu Bei both trusted him very much.
When Guide Chen saw He Hui, he smiled and said to her in English: "We will go up the mountain tomorrow so that everyone can go back and celebrate the Spring Festival."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." He Hui smiled politely.
"See you tomorrow."

The next morning, the group headed up the mountain. Perhaps because the weather hadn't been sunny for two days, there weren't many tourists going up the mountain.
"Ms. He, do you ski often?" Guide Chen looked at He Hui, who was wearing a professional ski suit and carrying a snowboard in one hand very skillfully, and naturally started a conversation.
“I used to go there often when I was in college in the United States.”
"No wonder." Guide Chen suddenly realized.
Zhu Bei interrupted, "In fact, our Mr. He used to be an expert in ice skating."
"Oh? Is it racing or figure skating?"
"Figure skating, I won a medal when I was a kid." He Hui raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, that's amazing." Guide Chen asked casually, "Why didn't you continue?"
bite--
To He Hui, these words sounded like a hammer suddenly hitting his heart, or like the sound of a bell of interrogation.
Why didn't you continue?
Maybe it all started because she was a premature baby with a weak body and needed physical exercise, so she was not motivated enough. Maybe she grew up under the pampering of her parents and it was difficult to go against the expectation of inheriting the family business, so she was not brave enough.
Maybe... maybe...
The cable car quickly reached the top. Seeing that He Hui did not answer, guide Chen had already tactfully changed the subject.
He began to introduce the ski trails here in a detailed and thorough manner.
After the introduction, Guide Chen winked at everyone and said, "How about jumping off the top of the mountain together and feeling the speed and passion?"
The untracked powder snow is heaven for skiers.
He Hui made a gesture of invitation, and Guide Chen jumped down first.
Swoosh——
The sound of the snowboard rubbing against the snow broke into my eardrums, and the person disappeared in an instant.
He Hui fixed his goggles and snowboard and followed.
The wind whistled past my ears, mixed with the friction between the snowboard and the snow, and the sound of the front and rear edges changing, composing a winter symphony.
Soon, she caught up with Guide Chen while accelerating. She glanced at Guide Chen casually, reached the foot of the mountain first, and braked in a cloud of snow.
But in less than a minute, everyone lined up again to get on the cable car.
“This ski resort is really nice. No wonder it’s a new internet celebrity check-in spot.” Zhu Bei was the slowest skier, and he said while panting slightly.
He Hui looked down at the snow-capped mountains and woods around him from the cable car and said, "Well, the location is also good. It's very convenient to come to several nearby big cities."
"Shall I take you to the most difficult ski slope later?" Guide Chen suggested, jumping twice on his snowboard.
He Hui adjusted his snow goggles and said, "Okay."
Under the appearance of a young lady and CEO, He Hui has a heart that loves challenges. Higher, faster, stronger is her creed.
This time, she was the first one to slide down.
During the rapid fall measured in seconds, He Hui felt that his blood was boiling and the cells in his body were clamoring to embrace the wind.
She didn't want to be a CEO, nor did she want to study business. Besides, dealing with people was really troublesome!
It’s great, this is the long-lost feeling of freedom and joy.
The figure of guide Chen soon appeared nearby. In order to catch up with He Hui, he took an unusual route.
After a few clicking sounds, he passed a steep slope and slid onto a flat area.
"Hi!"
But before the greeting was uttered, He Hui caught an unusual sound.
She turned her head and saw the rolling pink snow like a giant white beast, opening its bloody mouth towards everyone.
This is......
"Avalanche!" He Hui shouted loudly, and everyone finally reacted.
Guide Chen was horrified and shouted: "Go!"
However, as the giant beast rapidly descended, it continued to devour the snow around it, causing its already huge body to block out the sky and the sun.
Human beings are very insignificant in front of nature.
Zhu Bei was the last one to come in and was the first person to be swallowed by the avalanche.
Then it was Guide Chen, who instantly disappeared into the mouth of the white beast.
He Hui didn't dare to look back, but just sprinted down the mountain desperately driven by the desire to survive.
But unfortunately, when his body was suddenly dragged down and he lost his balance, He Hui knew it was impossible.
The heavy snow completely buried her, her body was unable to move, and she felt pressured and suffocated.
Time passes by little by little.
He Hui felt that the powdery snow had entered his body through his nose and completely blocked his respiratory tract. His mouth opened subconsciously, giving the snowflakes more opportunities to enter.
The burning sensation in the lungs seemed to be burning, and it was extremely painful.
He Hui's brain gradually lacked oxygen, and after a moment of dizziness, his eyes went black and he completely lost consciousness.
*
It hurts...
He Hui opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling of his own villa room, feeling a little scared.
Was she rescued?
After all, if the avalanche is discovered and rescued in time, there is a certain possibility of survival.
He Hui first moved his hands and feet tentatively, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, he slowly sat up.
There are three lovely cartoon characters printed on the bed sheet:
This is... The Powerpuff Girls?!
What a terrible and childish taste, He Hui complained in his heart.
He Hui turned her head and saw a white bear toy on the table next to her.
Her disgusted expression froze on her face.
Wait, isn't this my childhood room? ?
He Hui used his hands and feet to kick the quilt away.
The next second, she stared at her ten miniature fingers and fell into a long silence.
OK, now she has bad news and good news.
Bad news: I didn’t survive the avalanche and cursed myself when I woke up.
Good news: She's reborn.
He Hui took three seconds to digest this seemingly unbelievable reality, then stood up, looked around the room, and opened the pink diary on the desk.
She raised her hand and turned to the latest page. The handwriting was in a childish round font. Some of the words she didn't know how to write were obviously looked up in the dictionary and marked with pinyin.
"August 31, 2004. Sunny."
"I have to go to school tomorrow. I hate it! But my mom said I will be an elementary school student and I need to be sensible. But I really don't want to grow up and study!!"
He Hui flipped through the diary.
"August 2, 2004, cloudy to sunny."
"Today the ballet teacher praised my movements and I even stood in the center. I was so happy! I practiced for a long time when I got home!"
"December 24, 2003, light snow"
"The kindergarten held a Christmas party today, but the food was not as good as the one made by the chef at home. By the way, Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Wang all gave me gifts. But their taste was so bad that I wanted to throw their gifts away. Mom said it was impolite, so I threw all the gifts into the warehouse. Is that not impolite now?"
"June 5, 2003. Cloudy."
"My mom said I was born prematurely and my health is not good, so I need to exercise more. So she took me to see a dance teacher today. But dancing hurts so much!!"
The distant memories rode the train of time towards He Hui, and the vague childhood gradually became clear.
Knock knock, there was a knock on the door, interrupting He Hui's thoughts.
"Miss, breakfast is ready. Do you need me to help you change your clothes?"
This is the voice of the housekeeper, who is still very young.
"No need!" He Hui hadn't yet adapted to the fact that he had turned from a CEO back into a seven-year-old child. He quickly rejected all possible embarrassment and shouted in a childish voice, "I'll be right there!"
She hurriedly changed into the dress her mother had prepared for her the day before and stood in front of the mirror, holding her forehead.
The layered pink puffy skirt and intricate handmade lace make her look childish and cute, but she really looks like a little princess surrounded by stars.
But this headband with pearl lace on the hand is really exaggerated.
He Hui hesitated for ten seconds and finally put it back into the drawer.
Well, this is her last stubbornness as the president of He Group.
He Hui took a deep breath, made up his mind, and mustered up the courage to step out of the room.
