Ms. Ren: "?"

"Songwriting? You know how to write songs?"

Ms. Ren was surprised.

Xu Lin: "I'll surprise you some day, I'm ready to make a name for myself."

Ms. Ren didn't think much: "Then I'll help you do a good job, how many days do you need?"

Xu Lin: "As soon as possible."

"Alright."

Ms. Ren was curious: "Last time you mentioned that novel contract, writing outlines for others, it's been a while, how much have you earned?"

Xu Lin sent over some chat records with Toutuo, especially last week's transfer screenshot for manuscript fees.

"Three hundred fifty thousand?"

Ms. Ren was very surprised, looking at the enlarged transfer screenshot on the computer. It was a bank transfer, considering it was a large amount, not to mention whether Xu Lin could receive it, even Toutuo's WeChat couldn't send such a large transfer due to limits.

"There's more!"

Xu Lin also sent a screenshot of Wu Chengfeng's transfer to him.

"This is my first disciple, we don't have a contract, but last month his pre-tax earnings were nearly two million. To thank me as his mentor, this month he also sent twenty thousand in manuscript fees."

Xu Lin: "I have two other disciples who are doing very well. Next month combined, I'll be able to collect over a million from them."

Ms. Ren: "Amazing!"

After all was said and done, only two words remained: amazing. For a moment, mom didn't know what to say. Let's not mention the over one hundred thousand next month, since it's not in hand yet, but this month her son already received fifty-five thousand!

Xu Lin's hometown is in a prefecture-level city. If it's a county-level city below this prefecture-level city, fifty-five thousand is enough to buy a hundred square meter fully furnished house, so this money is quite substantial.

Ms. Ren: "I can't earn that much myself!"

Xu Lin: "This is just the beginning, I'm going to make a name for myself."

Ms. Ren reminded again: "Just don't go astray."

Xu Lin: "Don't worry, I won't go astray, I've never been to a bar."

On Wednesday afternoon after school, Xu Lin left school alone, he went to a nice suit store and bought a suit worth over six thousand. Initially, he wanted to have one custom-made, but the delivery time was too long, and Xu Lin needed to wear it on Friday, so he just bought one off the rack and would sort out a custom one later.

Previously when Xu Lin hadn't worked out, wearing suits was still alright, and he had the appearance for it, so it never looked too bad. But after working out, he completely became a walking clothes hanger, so there was no worry about fit.

This suit he bought directly looked great when worn, especially in formal attire, his Dragon among Men buff automatically activated. At that time in the suit store, all the women couldn't take their eyes off him, even though they already had husbands or boyfriends, Xu Lin's physiological attraction to them was strong. In other words, Xu Lin's sex appeal was too powerful.

Time moved to Thursday.

After class ended in the daytime, Xu Lin rode his small electric bike and arrived downstairs at Chi Linyue's company.

Two minutes later, Chi Linyue came down.

She approached with elegant steps, wearing a distinguished beige coat as an outer garment, a shirt, loose-fitting jeans, and a pair of black women's leather shoes underneath.

This outfit made Xu Lin's eyes light up.

"Wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

As Chi Linyue got on the bike, Xu Lin asked.

"This isn't ordinary clothing, it keeps you warm, I'm not cold."

"How much is it?"

"Over twenty thousand, it's quite warm."

Xu Lin suddenly realized.

Once, Xu Lin went to a mall, walked into a brand store, and saw a seemingly plain cotton jacket, said to be a skiing jacket, asking the price revealed it was over five thousand. He didn't know how warm it really was, after all, talking about cotton clothing, there are ones for a few hundred, and several hundred can already be very good, and very warm.

"Why not wear it like this tomorrow? Especially this coat, elegantly imposing, feels very fitting."

"I'll wear it like this tomorrow then!"

Chi Linyue nodded.

At the end, Chi Linyue asked again: "Can it really sell for seventy million?"

"Starts at seventy million, they say topped at ninety million? But not certain, and when asked the specifics, it's hard to say, so I need someone commanding to be there, otherwise if I go alone, I might get ripped off."

"No problem, but even if split half, you could pocket several million instantly, eighteen years old, relying on yourself, millions in the account, unimaginable!"

Chi Linyue had never met someone like Xu Lin, regardless of the industry, not differentiating between black, white, and gray routes, relying solely on personal capability. Chi Linyue hadn't seen someone like Xu Lin before, and after all, he's just eighteen, his personal capability is too outstanding.

Moreover, Xu Lin is about to switch to a new industry, venturing into songwriting and lyric writing. His three songs are already at the top rankings across various playlists on a major music platform, which is absolutely strong and unique.

There's also Xu Lin's platform followers. After two more days, the latest data shows nearly nine million followers on TikTok, and six million on Xiaohongshu. This level of followers on both platforms implies Xu Lin should have strong commercial value.

Therefore, Chi Linyue was very surprised, having not expected the guy who said during the summer he wanted to pursue her has now reached this stage. Let's not talk about hypotheticals, this month he has earned over seven hundred thousand in manuscript fees from his book, which is tax that many company executives' annual salary cannot match in a month's time. This is real.

"Let's not talk about this, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Xu Lin looked back and asked her, Chi Linyue was sitting sideways and was so close that when Xu Lin turned his head, he almost kissed her on the face.
