Chapter 153: Chapter 111: Monthly Income of 500,000! The Little Ledger Book!

“Alright, alright!”

“Brother Shen, please come with me!”

Shen Qiushan made the final decision, and the saleswoman sitting in the passenger seat was excited beyond words.

The AITO M9 used to be quite popular, but its hype has died down now, mainly because it’s quite pricey.

A car in the 500,000 yuan range is out of reach for most people!

Don’t be fooled by the internet’s claims of a million-yuan annual salary being commonplace; in reality, making a million yuan a year is rare and remarkable!

Last year, the average annual income in our country was only 41,314 yuan!

According to the “National Wealth Report,” approximately 700,000 people earn over a million a year.

Of course, this statistic can’t completely capture everyone, as some wealth is hard to measure, but it’s not far off.

Out of a population of 1.4 billion, only about seventy to eighty thousand earn over a million a year.

Therefore, the value of a million-yuan salary is quite significant.

While a 500,000 yuan car might seem unimpressive online, in reality, those who look down on it probably can’t even afford a 50,000 yuan used car without resorting to financing!

Shen Qiushan followed the saleswoman to sign the contract and complete the paperwork.

In the car, Shen Yixiao, and beside it, Lin Xiamo and Shen Yanran, were all stunned.

“Shen Yanran, did Dad really go to buy a car?”

“I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?”

Shen Yixiao stared at Shen Yanran outside the car in disbelief.

“I guess so!”

Shen Yanran nodded, feeling it was all too surreal.

This is a car!

Not a phone!

He just bought it on a whim?

The sentence stuck in her throat, Lin Xiamo quietly mocked in her heart: The face of a nouveau riche!

She also remembered the nickname Xu Pipa gave on WeChat earlier, and quickly changed Shen Qiushan’s remark to [AAA Nouveau Riche Old Shen]!

This was Lin Xiamo expressing her dissatisfaction with Shen Qiushan’s “disobedience.”

Even she didn’t realize why she added “AAA”!

“So, we have a car now!”

Once Shen Yanran gathered her thoughts, she cheered excitedly, then opened the driver’s side door and got in.

“Wow, the interior of this car really looks high-tech…”

Shen Yanran didn’t know anything about cars, but the situation was different now; it was their family’s car, so naturally, she found it pleasing to the eye.

Don’t even mention it’s the AITO M9; even if it were a Yadea, she’d praise it for being “fuel-efficient”!

Things that belong to you always seem like they have more advantages.

“Shen Yanran, you really guessed right this time.”

“This car has a lot of high-tech features…”

Shen Yixiao boasted with a smug face, typical boy behavior; they always have some interest in cars, especially among his group of athletes who chat about whose car is the coolest when training gets dull.

“Shen Yixiao, do you know how much this car costs?”

Shen Yanran asked while feeling the steering wheel.

“I think around two to three hundred thousand?”

Shen Yixiao only knew domestic new energy cars had been popular in recent years, but he didn’t know the exact price.

“Two to three hundred thousand?”

“That’s expensive!”

“That’s almost as much as Second Aunt’s Audi.”

Shen Yanran exclaimed.

Hearing the two kids’ conversation, Lin Xiamo decided to step in with some clarification. She rested a hand on the car roof and said to Shen Yanran, “This car costs more than two to three hundred thousand; it could buy two of my cars!”

“In all likelihood, your dad probably emptied all his savings!”

Lin Xiamo didn’t know Shen Qiushan’s exact income, but she estimated he might earn five to six hundred thousand at most.

Recently, he bought four iPhones and a triple-fold Huawei.

Now, he bought this AITO M9!

He likely used up most of his royalties earnings.

“Huh?”

“It’s that expensive!”

Shen Yanran was shocked; though she didn’t understand cars well, she knew Second Aunt’s car cost around two hundred and seventy-eight thousand.

Now, Lin Xiamo said her dad’s car could buy two of her Audi; wouldn’t that mean it cost five to six hundred thousand?

Even though her dad, Shen Qiushan, said he made money from writing novels, in Shen Yanran’s mind, that might mean two to three hundred thousand or maybe three to four hundred thousand at most!

But in reality, he spent five to six hundred thousand on a car!

It’s truly extravagant!

Before, it was unimaginable.

Listening to their conversation,

Xu Pipa, standing silently by, suddenly had a bright idea.

This Little Mushroom Head was focused on Shen Qiushan making a fortune by writing novels.

Previously, when she heard Uncle Shen was writing novels, Xu Pipa didn’t think much of it, but now her mind opened up.

The entry barrier for writing online novels is low.

Plus, Xu Pipa was already great at language arts and very good at writing essays.

She thought she could give it a try too.

However, Xu Pipa’s current understanding of online novels was still nonexistent.

She knew if she wanted to enter a field, she had to understand it first.

You can’t just dive in without thinking!

So, she quickly made a plan in her mind.

Start by reading!

Understand readers’ preferences.

This is similar to conducting market research.

Once you understand the demand, you can cater to it.

Writing a book, especially commercial online novels, is quite similar to producing products in a factory.

If it were before today, Xu Pipa would have faced hurdles in doing “market research” because she didn’t have a smartphone.

But now, this condition had been met.

Uncle Shen had just gifted her a phone!

Even Shen Qiushan himself didn’t realize the extraordinary significance this phone held for Xu Pipa.

In the VIP reception room,

Shen Qiushan swiftly completed contract signing and payment.

Next was registering the license plate and buying insurance, which the dealership had someone to handle these procedures.

This process would take two to three hours.

Shen Qiushan had Lin Xiamo take the three kids shopping for clothes and generously transferred her 20,000 yuan, saying it was for their clothing expenses.

“You didn’t blow all your royalties, did you?”

Lin Xiamo pulled Shen Qiushan aside and whispered.

“How could I!”

“Do I look like someone who would be so reckless?”

Shen Qiushan shrugged nonchalantly; he knew his extravagant spending today had startled his sister-in-law, who was concerned he might be wasting money.

To put her mind at ease, Shen Qiushan opened the Penguin Writer Assistant app.

Showed her his royalty earnings!

The data was very detailed, including reward income, subscription income, and channel income.

Yesterday’s subscription income showed: 17,325 yuan!

The day before’s subscription income was: 17,130 yuan!

Looking at the income details line by line, Lin Xiamo’s delicate lips parted slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on her exquisite face involuntarily.

This was daily income!

Which meant that the daily income was over 17,000 yuan!

Calculating like this, that amounted to over 500,000 yuan a month!

Which meant the car Shen Qiushan bought, the Aito M9, was only his monthly income!

This…

Lin Xiamo’s slender eyebrows slightly raised, this income was somewhat beyond her understanding.

She never expected that writing online novels could earn over 500,000 yuan a month!

Thinking about her own salary, working all month seemed to be less than what Shen Qiushan earned in a day.

For a moment, Lin Xiamo felt a bit defeated!

After all, she was a graduate student at Sanjiang University!

Yet her income was still less than that of Shen Qiushan, a “high school graduate.”

“Are you not worried now?”

Shen Qiushan put away his phone and asked with a smile.

Lin Xiamo didn’t say a word, quietly opening WeChat and hitting receive payment!

Then she left the Huawei Experience Center with the three kids.

“Second Aunt, where are we going?”

Shen Yixiao asked skeptically, still thinking about accompanying dad to pick up the car later.

“Taking you to buy clothes.”

“Choose freely, except for those luxury brands!”

After seeing Shen Qiushan’s income, Lin Xiamo no longer had any mental burden.

Plus, with rewards and other channel income, Shen Qiushan could earn around 20,000 yuan a day, no need to save on these small amounts.

“Really!”

Shen Yanran’s beautiful eyes lit up instantly.

Girls, after all, love beauty. While Shen Yanran wasn’t lacking clothes, her clothes were quite inexpensive.

The more expensive clothes in her wardrobe were mostly bought by Second Aunt Lin Xiamo or Grandma Chen Qingzhu.

“Of course it’s true.”

“But, we’re spending your dad’s money.”

Lin Xiamo replied as she walked.

“If I didn’t know he earned it from writing novels.”

“I would have suspected my dad won the lottery!”

Shen Yanran exclaimed, then laughed and pointed to the FILA store on the second floor, “Second Aunt, I want to check out their shoes.”

“Let’s go!”

Lin Xiamo nodded, then led the three kids into shopping frenzy mode.

Xu Pipa actually wanted to avoid such things, but Lin Xiamo gave her no chance, almost all the way holding her hand.

In the end, Xu Pipa was persuaded by Lin Xiamo to get two outfits.

One was a Nike tracksuit, and the other was a denim and T-shirt combo from a trendy brand.

While buying clothes for Xu Pipa, Lin Xiamo found that Little Mushroom Head’s size was actually similar to her own.

What surprised her even more was that Little Mushroom Head wasn’t wearing a bra inside, but an old-fashioned short vest.

Wearing such a vest, and yet appearing “gracefully tall,” it was completely defying the laws of physics!

Absolutely incredible!

After shopping for about three hours, the only boy, Shen Yixiao, became the labor force. Later, when Lin Xiamo and Shen Yanran entered another store, he headed directly to the rest area.

Too tired!

Shen Yixiao thought for a moment and felt even his training wasn’t this exhausting.

Luckily, dad’s car-picking process was going swiftly; just as Shen Yixiao was about to run out of steam, dad’s call came, inviting everyone to the mall’s underground parking lot.

Shen Yixiao jumped up with renewed energy, carrying seven or eight shopping bags straight to the elevator.

At the parking lot, Shen Qiushan demonstrated the new car’s intelligent voice control: “Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, open the trunk!”

With Shen Qiushan’s voice, the car’s trunk slowly opened…

Shen Yixiao stuffed all the shopping bags into the trunk and then eagerly got in the car, complaining to his dad: “Dad, I’m not going shopping with them again next time.”

“It’s more tiring than training!”

Shen Qiushan chuckled: “What if it’s Luo Yao asking you to go shopping?”

“Uh…”

Shen Yixiao was caught off guard, then replied, “Of course, that’s different!”

Their father-son conversation happened to be overheard by Shen Yanran, who had just gotten in the car. She immediately quipped: “Shen Yixiao, in your heart, your girlfriend is more important than your sister and Second Aunt, right?”

Shen Yixiao pouted: “Shen Yanran, can you not drag Second Aunt into this!”

“It’s just you!”

“Luo Yao is definitely more important than you!”

Hah!

Shen Yanran responded with a roll of the eyes, retorting: “When I get a boyfriend, he’ll be a million times more important than you!”

Brother and sister started their daily banter.

Xu Pipa quietly sat in the back seat behind the siblings.

The Aito M9 that Shen Qiushan bought was a six-seater extended-range version, chosen for convenience in family use, without any range anxiety.

At this time, Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao, the siblings, were in the second row, while Xu Pipa got in and squeezed through them to the third row.

Having long been accustomed to the siblings’ banter, Xu Pipa was not affected at all; she quietly opened her phone’s memo and first wrote “Ledger” on it.

Then started a new line.

1. Apple phone 9788 yuan.

2. Nike tracksuit 569 yuan.

3. Denim jeans and T-shirt 458 yuan.

4. Underwear 199 yuan.

5. …
