Chapter 12 Earn 100 million a year

Father Chu is very satisfied with his wife and owes her a lot.

But Chu Fan, his father, has never felt indebted to him. He has tried his best to give his son the best.

However, when I had worked hard to raise my son for more than 20 years, when I waited for my son to graduate, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief and even start to enjoy the blessings. Unexpectedly, my son had only been working for a year and was unwilling to go to work, leaving him to stay at home and grow old.

I have been kept in the dark. Thinking about the chat with my colleagues some time ago and calling other people's children useless for not working, Chu's father's face burned.

"Don't go cooking yet, let's have a family meeting!" Chu's father said with a gloomy face to Chu Fan, who was carrying a shopping bag and preparing to go into the kitchen to start the stove.

"Okay." Chu Fan had expected that there would be such a family meeting, but he didn't expect that his father would be so impatient that he didn't choose to hold it after dinner.

This kind of atmosphere is not a good family meeting. If it is held before a meal, it will greatly affect the appetite.

If it were me, I wouldn't act like this.

This made Chu Fan think of Aunt Wu's daughter again. If she marries Aunt Wu's daughter and has children, her education method must avoid the pitfalls that her father stepped on.

Thinking about it this way, my father’s failed education method was very successful in the negative teaching materials.

It successfully told others that this kind of education method is unacceptable.

"Chu Fan, tell me yourself, how long has it been since you resigned and stopped working?" The smoke in the room had almost dispersed. Chu's father sat on the sofa with a straight face and asked Chu Fan, who was sitting on the small round stool opposite the coffee table, and asked Chu Fan.

Chu's mother came back from washing the fruit, sat on the sofa next to her, peeled off the peel of the fragrant pear, and cut it into pieces of pulp. She took out the toothpicks from the toothpick tube and found that there was an extra toothpick, so she stuffed one back.

After all three toothpicks were inserted into the pulp, she picked up a piece of fragrant pear pulp and handed it to Dad Chu.

Chu's father was questioning Chu Fan. He was a little angry and didn't take it immediately.

If you answer too quickly, it will destroy the momentum you have brewed and make it appear that you are not very angry. This is not acceptable.

Therefore, he deliberately waited for a moment before extending his hand.

But almost at the same time as he stretched out his hand, Chu's mother handed the fruit pulp in her hand to Chu Fan.

"Thank you, Mom. Our family will never be separated for the rest of our lives." Chu Fan held the toothpick between his thumb and index finger and put the pulp into his mouth.

So crispy, so sweet, so delicious!

Chu's mother is not very superstitious about sharing pears among the family, but she is still a little bit superstitious.

So she made a rule that when dividing pears to eat, she should shout slogans to scare away bad luck.

The hand that was frozen in mid-air made Chu's father weak on the spot, and he lost all his majesty.

Chu's mother picked up the second piece of pulp and handed it to Chu's father.

This time, Chu's father took it over immediately, fearing another embarrassment, and muttered: "Only eat pears, don't separate."

"Yes, it's so nice to be harmonious. As a family, just talk about everything." Chu's mother also ate a piece of fruit pulp and said to Chu Fan: "Bao, let's go cook."

"Okay." Chu Fan stood up and went into the kitchen to cook.

Dad's arrogance must be suppressed again and again, but he cannot be suppressed directly, as it will be counterproductive.

Pay attention to routines.

Chu Fan and Chu's mother have played tricks on Chu's father countless times since they were young.

"When did we start talking and I haven't said anything yet?" Chu's father secretly complained to his wife.

"This year, all the meals at home have been cooked by Xiaofan, right?" After seeing her son enter the kitchen, Chu's mother turned around and asked Chu's father.

Although this was true, Chu's father hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

This hesitation made him even more angry.

Chu's mother took the opportunity to say: "It costs money to ask aunt to cook. Xiaofan didn't take a penny from us. Some of the dishes were bought with his own money. It's not like he didn't earn a penny this year.

"

"How much did you earn?" Chu's father asked.

Generally, parents rarely know the exact amount or even the approximate amount their children earn in a year.

But Chu Fan knew very well how much Chu Fan earned—twenty-one thousand seven hundred and fifty-eight yuan and seventy-six cents.

This is Chu Fan's royalties for the past year. It is not the income from the books he wrote in the past year, but includes the subsequent income from all the old books he wrote in the past.

Not counting the follow-up income from old books, this year Chu Fan only earned about 12,000 yuan in royalties.

"Fifteen thousand." Chu's mother compromised and gave Chu's father a number.

Dad Chu was very happy: "Is this monthly salary or annual salary?"

In terms of income, Chu's mother couldn't make excuses for her son, and she didn't know what to say.

Dad Chu said angrily: "It costs more than 20,000 a year to wash dishes in a restaurant. He only earns 15,000 a year to write a book. You still support him. Do you really plan to support him for the rest of his life?"

Chu's mother argued: "Xiaofan is only twenty-two years old. He will be successful sooner or later. When can you stop washing dishes? Do you want Xiaofan to spend his whole life washing dishes?"

"I'm not asking him to wash the dishes now. I'm just talking about the income from washing the dishes. Don't be unreasonable." Dad Chu argued hard.

"You only saw the small profits in front of you and never considered the long term, so you fooled me out of the TV station. You said you would make millions in annual salary in the future. Now the company is about to close down. Are you satisfied?" Chu's mother also said

Getting angry.

Dad Chu has a headache, which is caused by smoking.

Who invented this garbage thing? It will cause harm for thousands of years.

In the past, Dad Chu only had one or two cigarettes a few days, thinking that he would not become addicted.

Nowadays, if I don't secretly smoke a few cigarettes a day, I always feel like something is missing, something is wrong all over, and it's just rubbish.

"We are talking about Xiaofan, can we not mention your own affairs?" Chu's father said helplessly.

"There is nothing wrong with Xiaofan. If you have a dream, you should pursue it before he reaches your age." Chu's mother said.

"You can have dreams, but life must be down-to-earth, right?" Dad Chu said.

"Xiaofan doesn't dream of becoming a big star and making hundreds of millions a year casually. You are such a failure yourself, why do you expect Xiaofan to be so good?" Chu's mother coldly snorted.

Over in the kitchen, Chu Fan, who was cooking rice, stuck his head out: "Mom, I'm really ready to become a star, a big and famous one. We can set a small goal first and earn 100 million a year."

Dad Chu's mind was full of dark thoughts: "You should just write your book, I don't have money for you to study and practice."

The entertainment industry is so glamorous and glamorous that leading to huge expenses on the way to this industry is beyond the reach of ordinary families.

Nowadays, there are very few poor people who can enter the entertainment industry.

In the early years, when the people had enough to eat, national entertainment was just emerging, and there were still some stars with grassroots backgrounds.

Now, it's hard to say anything.

"I don't need to study and practice. I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea. My singing skills are at the level of the national team, my acting skills are as strong as a national first-class actor, and my ethics are like those of an old artist..."
