By posting this news in the family group chat, Zhou Yuwen spared himself the hassle of explaining.
By the time all the relatives looked up, their faces were already silent.
Honestly, those who work in the establishment have respectable jobs, with a stable salary regardless of circumstances, but the only downside is the lack of opportunities to make a fortune. Even if there were, not everyone dares to take them.
Anyway, in Zhou Yuwen's two lifetimes, he has never heard of a relative being arrested over such a matter.
So for them, three million is indeed a lot of money.
And the news was very clear about it.
One month, three million!
"You really made three million?" Eventually, the Uncle couldn't hold back and asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
Zhou Yuwen said there was definitely no three million.
"After taxes, it's a little over two million six hundred thousand."
In most people's eyes, there's actually not much difference between two million six hundred thousand and three million.
Then, the private room for Zhou Yuwen's family burst into noise.
"Bro! I always knew Wenwen was a promising kid, right!?"
"Three million! Sister-in-law, your family is going to be set for life, your entire lifetime's salary isn't even three million!"
The relatives started congratulating Zhou Yuwen's parents with genuine joy for Yuwen's sake.
The two who should be the happiest just couldn't feel happy at this moment.
Because it felt so fake.
But the news was very clear.
"So the car's for real?" The Uncle returned the X7 car keys to Zhou Yuwen while asking casually.
Zhou Yuwen nodded and confirmed it was real.
That must be over a million, right?
"About that, fully registered it's just over a million!"
"I told you, Xiao Wen is the most promising one in our family!" Aunt couldn't help but interject.
However, she didn't notice that Peng Xiaoyong's face just couldn't maintain any semblance of happiness as she spoke.
But who cared about Peng Xiaoyong right now.
Zhou Yuwen earned three million in one month!
Even if Peng Xiaoyong was set up in America, he probably couldn't make that much money.
Everyone was curious about Zhou Yuwen's three million.
Was it three million in one go?
Or three million every month?
"Definitely three million in one go, how could it be three million each time."
"Exactly, that would be too frightening every time."
"However, now it's normal to make over a million a month." Before they could say more, Zhou Yuwen added.
"Roughly, at least for the past few months it's been like that, but it will probably decrease later on."
"That's already quite enough! Big bro, sister-in-law, time for you to enjoy life!"
After learning about Zhou Yuwen's wealth, relatives all showed happy faces, congratulating Yuwen's parents, someone asked, Yuwen, with so much money, how are you managing it?
"Indeed, you became a famous writer, and you didn't even mention it to us!"
"Bro! What kind of novels do you write?"
Even the little cousin couldn't help but come over and ask what Zhou Yuwen was writing.
With so many questions, Zhou Yuwen didn't quite know how to answer, so he just addressed whichever one he could, like how he would spend the money, Zhou Yuwen said he would buy some savings and financial products.
Having said that, a relative asked, what kind of savings?
"Exactly, the interest rates are too low! You should buy a house! You studied in Jinling, why not buy another apartment there."
"With that money, you could buy a place in Lanting!"
"Hmm, I've already bought one." Zhou Yuwen said nonchalantly.
Zhou Yuwen explained that he bought an apartment in Lanting with his first royalty payment, including the renovation it was just under two million, and at the time he didn't have enough cash so he took out a loan.
"Why take out a loan! Buying a house is a big deal, you didn't even tell us, we could've just given you the money directly!"
Hearing that Zhou Yuwen even bought a house, and one worth over two million, Aunt felt a sense of darkness looming before her eyes. The rightful source is N0veI.Fiɾe.net
No, after finally watching her own son make some progress, was her nephew sky-defying?
"Come on, Wenwen, after chatting for so long, you haven't had a drink with your little uncle."
"Exactly, nor with your fifth uncle."
Zhou Yuwen waved his hands, saying he couldn't drink since he still had to drive and drop off a classmate later.
Oh, that's understandable, shall we drink tea instead?
Sure, tea in place of alcohol is fine.
Zhou Yuwen picked up his teacup and had a 'drink' with a few uncles.
It felt like the atmosphere at the table became much livelier once they found out Zhou Yuwen was a famous author, bombarding him with various questions, even asking if Yuwen had any spare cash.
Zhou Yuwen said yes, but he was involved in a startup project with classmates, which was about organizing campus food delivery, by rallying some financially challenged students to deliver food.
"Not bad, Yuwen, you've got the Zhou Family spirit!"
One after another, the relatives showered Zhou Yuwen with praise.
Having heard that Yuwen was involved in a food delivery startup.
Lu Wanting was actually quite interested and informed Zhou Yuwen that their company was also handling food delivery in Jinling.
Zhou Yuwen said: "Eh, isn't Meituan meant for group buying?"
"No, food delivery is a new service for us, just confirmed last month."
Zhou Yuwen responded: "Then I'll have to ask for sister-in-law's help in the future."
Lu Wanting laughed cheerfully: "That's easy, I'll definitely take care of you!"
So they chatted for a while longer, and the meal was almost over.
The middle-aged attendees were actually quite curious about Zhou Yuwen's so-called million-dollar luxury car; they had seen it, but never had the chance to closely observe or possibly even ride in it in their lifetime.
