“You have received a transfer of 74,087 yuan to your bank account ending in 9527. Your account balance is now 74,783 yuan.”

It was December 5th.

Lin Yuan received this sum of money.

At the same time, he also received a message from the company’s finance department: “The download share of your work ‘Life Like Summer Flowers’ and your monthly salary from the composition department have been credited to your account. From now on, on the 5th of each month, the song download share and your basic monthly salary will be transferred to your bank account on time. If you have any questions, please check with the finance department.”

Finally, the money was distributed.

Lin Yuan was somewhat pleased.

The belated arrival of December meant that this year’s rookie season had officially ended.

Thanks to the company’s large-scale promotion in the middle of the month, the final download count of “Life Like Summer Flowers” surpassed the 500,000 mark. This achievement completely exceeded the champion results of previous rookie seasons, which indirectly demonstrated the excellence of Lin Yuan’s work.

After deducting nearly 10,000 yuan in taxes, the money Lin Yuan received was still over 60,000 yuan.

Adding Lin Yuan’s basic salary of 10,000 yuan, his bank account finally reached over 70,000 yuan—

Although, strictly speaking, Lin Yuan hadn’t been employed for a full month.

Perhaps this was the company’s way of giving a benefit to newcomers.

In his previous life, songs written by newcomers often couldn’t sell for this price, let alone the subsequent income Lin Yuan would receive from the song.

In the days to come.

As long as people continued to pay to download “Life Like Summer Flowers,” Lin Yuan could continuously receive download shares from this song.

No wonder there was a saying in the composition circle that “a good song can feed you for a lifetime.”

Even if Lin Yuan couldn’t write any other good works in the future, the shares from “Life Like Summer Flowers” alone could basically solve his living expenses.

Of course, as always.

The download count of “Life Like Summer Flowers” would definitely gradually decrease in the future, because every work has an audience that goes from initial interest to saturation, so the amount of shares received from this song would inevitably decrease.

Therefore, releasing more songs is never wrong.

It brings both fame and money.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but look forward to the future share income that “Big Fish” could bring him.

The company’s share from the 500,000 custom order for this song alone was over 600,000 yuan, and adding the download shares, it would definitely be very substantial.

Next.

He could finally do what he had always wanted to do since he crossed over.

Lin Yuan first made a call to Zhao Jue, asking for a favor.

Then he took a deep breath, recalling the communication style between the original owner and his mother, and after making sure he was ready, he called his mom, who was a music teacher back home.

The call was quickly connected.

On the other end was a slightly tired voice: “Xiao Yuan, are you running out of pocket money? Mom will send you some right away.”

“No.”

Lin Yuan quickly said, “I have good news to tell you.”

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, he heard a stranger’s voice on the phone: “Chen Jin, the shelf on the east side is empty, take the list and restock from the warehouse…”

The call was suddenly disconnected.

But Lin Yuan could imagine his mom hurriedly hanging up the phone.

Five minutes later, his mom called back, speaking softly: “The signal was bad just now.”

“Mom.”

Lin Yuan’s heart suddenly ached: “Stop pretending, you must have gone out to do part-time work again.”

“It’s mainly because there’s nothing much going on at school today.”

His mom said guiltily: “You know, I’m just a music teacher, and today my class was taken by the math teacher, Old Huang, so I had to find something to do, otherwise I’d just be idle.”

Lin Yuan was dissatisfied: “Why does the math teacher always take your class!”

His mom laughed: “Don’t talk nonsense, the language teacher also likes to take my class.”

Lin Yuan was helpless: “Can your body handle it? Have you forgotten the time you worked three part-time jobs at once and ended up in the hospital on an IV drip?”

“I’m just helping out at the supermarket… By the way, what was the good news you mentioned?”

His mom changed the subject.

Lin Yuan didn’t expose her, saying: “I transferred to the composition department, learned to write songs, and the song became popular last month, so I earned 100,000 yuan.”

“100,000? Writing songs?”

His mom not only didn’t get happy, but was completely flustered: “Don’t lie to me! Tell me, did you do something bad? Xiao Yuan, don’t be afraid to tell mom if something happened… You didn’t sell your organs, did you!?”

His mom’s voice was almost tearful.

Lin Yuan was both amused and helpless: “What are you talking about, I really earned some money by writing a song, ‘Life Like Summer Flowers,’ do you know it?”

“It sounds familiar… Someone in the office seemed to have played it… Did you write it?”

“It’s me.”

“You’ve never lied since you were a child, is it really your song?”

“It’s really my song, the composer Xian Yu is me, and the singer is a senior of mine.”

“You… you…”

“If you don’t believe me, I can have our company leader talk to you. You know I signed with Starlight Entertainment in my freshman year, and you kept my agent Sister Zhao’s phone number, she wouldn’t lie to you, right?”

“I believe you… believe you… So this 100,000 yuan…”

“The 100,000 yuan, I’ll keep two or three thousand for myself, and send the rest to you, so you don’t have to work part-time anymore. I have money now, you don’t need to support my living expenses!”

“Send it to me, send it to me.”

His mom’s voice was a bit shaky: “Mom will save it for you, in case your illness takes a turn for the worse, we’ll have money for treatment, no need to trouble relatives.”

“No.”

Lin Yuan said: “I hope you can pay off the family’s debt. Over the years, a lot of money was spent on my treatment, and you never told us how much you borrowed.”

“That’s not urgent… Mom will pay it back, as long as mom is alive, not a penny will be left unpaid, I’ll even calculate the interest!”

“It’s like this.”

Lin Yuan felt a lump in his throat: “This song will continue to make money in the future, and I’ve now transferred to the company’s composition department, with a guaranteed monthly salary of one, cough, a little over two, a full 20,000 yuan, so the money I earn in the future will be enough for my treatment. Just tell me how much the family owes.”

“A little over ten thousand.”

His mom feigned calmness.

Lin Yuan said: “I’m serious.”

His mom changed her tune: “About twenty thousand.”

Lin Yuan pondered: “You always taught us three kids not to lie.”

The other end of the phone was silent.

After several seconds, his mom’s voice reappeared, somewhat heavy: “Including interest, it’s a total of 528,636 yuan.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan said in a relaxed tone: “I’ll pay off this debt this year! Stop working part-time, listen to me! Pay off the debt first! You don’t have to pay it all off, keep two thousand to improve your life, I’ll send you more money later, I recently wrote another song, it should earn quite a bit.”

“Hey.”

His mom chided: “You child, how can you be so arrogant, getting lucky and having one song become popular is already a blessing, you just started learning composition, and you think every song will be a hit.”

“I’m confident.”

“Alright, alright, you’re confident, but this money, I have to give some to your sister, and also tell her the good news, she just graduated not long ago, work is not easy, she’s been using the same phone for five years without changing it.” His mom seemed to be seeking Lin Yuan’s opinion.

“I’ll handle it.”

Lin Yuan laughed: “I’ll notify sister, and I’ll get her a new phone. She’s taken care of me for so many years, give me a chance to repay her.”

“You have a point.”

His mom felt guilty towards Lin Yuan’s sister and younger sister, because of Lin Yuan, the two girls in the family had sacrificed a lot: “Don’t forget.”

“Okay.”

After chatting for a full half hour, Lin Yuan repeatedly reminded his mom not to work part-time before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

After hanging up.

Lin Yuan opened his mobile banking app and directly transferred 73,000 yuan to his mom.

His mom quickly accepted the money and sent a voice message through the contact list: “Save the rest, it’s two or three thousand, don’t spend it recklessly.”

“Got it.”

Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

Saying he earned 100,000 was, of course, to reassure his mom, and saying the base salary was 20,000 was for the same reason.

In fact, he only had a little over a thousand left.

But a little over a thousand was enough to last him until next month.

…

After receiving the money, Lin Yuan’s mom, Chen Jin, was still uneasy.

For a woman who never gave up on her son’s treatment, the significance of 100,000 yuan was far beyond the money itself!

She hesitated for a moment and decided to call Zhao Jue to inquire about Lin Yuan’s situation.

After confirming the situation, she felt a bit more at ease.

Standing in the warehouse, she was lost in thought for a while, and suddenly tears fell, startling the workers nearby: “What’s wrong with you?”

Chen Jin wiped her tears: “I’m happy.”

The worker laughed: “What kind of big happy event makes you cry with joy?”

“Do you listen to music?”

“What?”

“You can listen to the song ‘Life Like Summer Flowers,’ it’s very nice!”

“Huh?”

The worker was a bit confused: “Oh… okay… sure…”
