Last month, Lin Yuans earnings came to about 700,000 yuan in total.
It could have been more. After all, apart from the commission, Lin Yuan now has two songs that earn him a share of the revenue.
Despite losing the boost from the New Talent chart in its second month on sale, Life Like A Summer Flower still brought him a considerable income.
This song has currently reached a download count of 700,000, surely reaching a million within a few months wont be a problem.
Moreover, he had also released Big Fish mid-month.
But the more money he earned, the more tax was deducted. The tax on a few tens of thousands was vastly different from the tax on hundreds of thousands.
Luckily, 700,000 yuan were more than enough to solve Lin Yuans current predicament.
Half past nine in the evening.
Lin Yuan called his sister.
His sister, who had graduated not long ago and was still an intern at a company, was called Lin Xuan. Her work kept her late usually.
Hello, Lin Yuan.
The call connected, his sister Lin Xuans voice carried a touch of fatigue and hoarseness: 1 just got home from work.
Lin Yuan responded, You should eat first.
Lin Xuan chuckled, Im just boiling the water. 111 have some instant noodles in a bit. Mom told me a few days ago that you have some good news for me?
It seemed Mom hadnt spilled the beans yet.
Lin Yuan chose his words carefully, Sis, do you know Xian Yu?
Xian Yu?
Lin Xuan hesitated a moment, Yes, I listen to music often. His songs are quite nice. Why, do you know him?
Lin Yuan told her, I am Xian Yu.
Lin Xuan instinctively raised her voice, Youre what fish?
Xian Yu.
Xian what?
Xian Yu.
Waitwait a momentlet me take a minute.. Lin Xuan, being a young woman, was naturally quicker on the uptake than their mother. However, this news left her somewhat flustered.
After a good while, Lin Xuan finally came back to her senses, Xian Yu?
Lin Yuan responded, Yes.
Xian Yu!
Mhm-mhm.
Xian Yu!?
The intensity of his sisters tone grew with each iteration. Even Lin Yuan, known for his patience, was getting a little annoyed, Yes, I am Xian Yubut thats not the point. The point is Im planning to buy you a new phone.
You heartless boy!
Lin Xuan immediately grew angry, Just a phone? Dont you remember how I treated you before? Let alone before, the clothes and shoes you wore to school were bought with the entirety of my first months intern salary!
Lin Yuan couldnt help but laugh, How much do you want then?
He got along very well with his sisters, so they never put on airs with one another. In fact, he quite enjoyed this way of interacting.
Thats more like it.
His sister huffed, Dont think I dont understand the business. Composing is quite lucrative, and your songs are so popular. Just a phone wont be enough. Add another five thousand yuan. 1 need to pay my rent. To make it easy, give me a total of ten thousand yuan!
Lin Yuan reassured her, Already transferred.
Lin Xuan chuckled, Okay, let me just check
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly went quiet.
After a long silence, Lin Xuan finally spoke up again, her voice somewhat frantic, Did you accidentally type an extra zero?
Lin Yuan laughed, No, not a mistake. One hundred thousand, its for you.
Lin Xuans voice turned serious, Lin Yuan! I appreciate your kindness towards me, but you need to be sensible. The money you have made should go to our mother. She borrowed a lot of money from our relatives and friends for your treatment. We need to pay all of that money back. 1 will keep a few thousand and give her the rest to decide how to use. You dont have a problem with that, do you? Regardless if you do, what I say goes.
Thats the plan
Lin Yuan could only explain the situation to her once again.
His sisters reaction progressed from shock to delight and finally ended in her bouncing around in joy. You sent her money in the last month? And you made that much again this month? I dont want to work anymore, dear brother! Oh my God, 1 dont want to strive for success anymore!
Lin Yuan:
It seemed that his sisters ability to cope was even worse than their mothers.
After a long bout of nonsensical babbling, Lin Xuan finally calmed down, Okay, we do as you say. Well pay off the debts at home first. But you can forget about getting this money back. The one hundred thousand is mine!
Yes, yes, all yours.
Lin Yuan continued, If you dont want to strive for success, then dont bother. Go back and attend university. You didnt manage to pursue your masters degree because of me, but you still have a shot now.
No.
Lin Xuan refused, Youre my brother and yet you dont understand me at all? Do you really think I love studying that much? The thing Ive hated most since childhood is going to school! It was always mom who nagged at me that a good education can help you get a good job. And I thought, getting a good job means earning money to fund your treatment. Thats why I forced myself to keep studying, studying, studying studying till my brain blew up! Now that youre earning so much money, why do 1 need to keep it up? Im happy to just work diligently. Besides, 1 quite like my current job. If you cant produce any more songs in the future, at least I can still support you, so we wont end up destitute.
Alright.
Lin Yuan agreed, Then you decide for yourself.
Lin Xuan laughed, From childhood, Ive always loved reading novels. Currently, Im an intern editor at Ice River Publishing House and have met many famous novelists. Ive been working for several months now. My performance is average. But Ive collected a heap of autographs from novelists. So, youre an editor?
Yep, didnt 1 tell you about it before? You seem not to have remembered it Let me tell you again, your sister is working at the Ice River Publishing House, just starting my career. In a while, Ill probably get a permanent position! Alright, then please eat well for dinner from now on.
Lin Yuan thought he could probably write a book at his sisters place in the future.
The Superstar event held by Silver Blue Books was out of his reach as they were not the same company as his sisters.
Absolutely!
Lin Xuan declared triumphantly, How can 1 not treat myself with one hundred thousand yuan at my disposal? Starting from tomorrow, Im going to switch to bucket instant noodles, and add two sausages!
Lin Yuan:
A true Lin sibling, through and through.
The two chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
Lin Yuan checked his account balance; he had about 600,000 yuan left.
Without sparing a thought, he transferred 550,000 to his mother and sent her a message:
You can repay the debts now.
The total family debt was over 500,000 yuan, which could now be cleared in one go.
His mother called him immediately, shocked, Did you earn so much this month?
I was lucky, I got a commission.
Lin Yuan briefly explained the situation to her.
Mom hung up abruptly and then texted him through the contact book, Bad signal, will repay debts tomorrow.
Lin Yuan sent back a smiley face.
He knew why his mother hung up. She probably wanted to let out a good cry without him hearing, so she chose to avoid the situation. However, he didnt expose her.
With this issue resolved
He lay flat on the schools sports field, looking up at the starry sky. His heart was filled with a warm, peaceful feeling. He felt a sense of reality and solidity that he had never experienced before.
He recalled the day he first time-traveled, when he also lay on the sports field, looking at the stars.
But back then, he was faced with threats to life, family pressures. However, that moment lacked the comfort and satisfaction he felt now
Its great to be alive..
