Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 2 Shareholders Want to Withdraw Their Shares

Xu Mu didn't wake up until after 2 p.m. the next day.

After furiously writing 6,000 words last night, Xu Mu couldn't fall asleep at all, fearing that the system would disappear if he fell asleep!

He's finally got a chance to take off, but it's probably just a dream!

Fortunately, the system was still there when I opened my eyes.

When Xu Mu opened her phone, she saw that her sister had sent her more than a dozen WeChat messages.

The first item is the transfer record.

Your sister transferred 2000 yuan to you.

"Xu Mu! Why aren't you taking the money?"

"Xu Mu! Get up!"

"Are you still sleeping, you pig?"

No response!

No response!

"..."

Upon seeing these messages, Xu Mu immediately called her sister, Ye Muling.

He and Ye Muling are not biological siblings; he is an adopted child of Ye Muling's parents. In the novel, Xu Mu's life would be a cataclysmic beginning with the death of his parents.

Fortunately, he was adopted by his current parents when he was six years old, and he also has an older sister who treats him well.

"Hey? Sis!"

"Xu Mu, you're not going to tell me you just got up now, are you?"

"Ahem..." Xu Mu coughed, "Sis, I was writing a little late last night."

"I told you before, writing has no future. You'd be better off finding a regular job so your parents won't have to worry about you!"

"Sister! I really don't want to be a beast of burden anymore, there's no future in it! Writing novels at least gives me a chance to turn my life around."

Xu Mu shook her head, rejecting her sister's suggestion.

"What future is there in writing novels! Relying on your meager monthly royalties of a few hundred yuan? If it weren't for my financial support these past two months, you'd be starving to death back home!"

"hey-hey……"

Hearing her sister Ye Muling's words, Xu Mu felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Although he was adopted, his parents and sister treated him like their own son.

"Sis, do you want to check out my novel? Last night, a guy named Gabacai gave me a 10,000 yuan tip. Even after deducting my share and taxes, I still got more than 4,000 yuan!"

"With the traffic brought by this wave of donations, my royalties this month should exceed ten thousand!"

"Really?"

Ye Muling didn't believe it, so she opened the Qidian app and looked at Xu Mu's novel, only to find that the number one fan on the fan ranking really did have one million fan points!
"Hey, Xu Mu, you've really made something of yourself!"

Ye Muling praised him, then retorted, "Which blind rich idiot gave you this tip?"

"?" Xu Mu was dumbfounded.

Holy crap, sis, why are you yelling at me?
"Who knows? It just means my novel must have some merit!"

"Hehe!" Ye Muling didn't say much, but only instructed, "Since you've achieved some success with your novel, I won't say anything more! Since you have such a big brother, you should maintain a good relationship with him, understand?"

"Don't be arrogant. I've also looked into this industry. It's like thousands of soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge; the competition is fierce!"

"Also, you should get some rest early and not stay up too late! Otherwise you'll develop kidney deficiency at such a young age."

"..."

Amidst Ye Muling's rambling voice, Xu Mu hung up the phone.

Soon after, Ye Muling sent another voice message, "Take the money!"

"Although you have royalties now, this money is for your living expenses."

Ye Muling is only half a year older than Xu Mu. The two have been good friends since childhood. If Xu Mu hadn't been adopted, they could be considered childhood sweethearts!
But the two were indeed childhood sweethearts, growing up together since they were little.

When Xu Mu was young and first fell in love, he liked Ye Muling. After all, who wouldn't like having an older sister who doted on and loved them?

Moreover, his parents often joked that Xu Mu should marry Ye Muling, since they were not related by blood. They thought it would be good to keep the good stuff in the family and save on dowry and house and car expenses.

Unfortunately, as she got older, Xu Mu couldn't get over that mental hurdle.

"Thank you sister!"

"You'd better work hard like a beast of burden, and once your younger brother achieves success, you can retire early and enjoy your old age!"

"understood!"

"..."

After ending her chat with Ye Muling, Xu Mu scratched her messy hair.

After tidying up a bit, I sat down in front of the computer and started typing.

After finishing typing, I messaged Qingzhou, "Log in!"

A day passed quietly, and the sound of the bank card receiving the money rang right on time!

"That was awesome!"

Xu Mu's eyes turned red.

With an income of 10,000 yuan every day, one can definitely improve the lives of oneself and one's family.

The future is expected!

After tipping a Silver Alliance member, Xu Mu naturally wouldn't waste any more money on tipping himself. Besides, tipping too much is meaningless; the most important thing is to retain readers through content.

Over the next few days, Xu Mu either wrote, played games with Qingzhou, or went to the turtle farm to have tea with Boss Bao, chat about the recent market trends, and check the sales figures.

5月9号一过，10号凌晨0：01分不到，许沐的账户按时收到系统打钱的消息。

In the past few days, Xu Mu has barely spent any money besides his daily expenses, and his account already has 40003.26 yuan.

Thinking of how good his older sister Ye Muling was to him, working like a slave in Ningcheng, earning only eight thousand yuan a month, and still having to transfer two thousand yuan to him for living expenses.

In addition to giving him a fixed amount of living expenses every month, she also checks on him from time to time to see if he has eaten and if he has gone to bed early and gotten up early.

With such a sister, Xu Mu thought that now that he was able to afford it, he planned to buy her a car so that she wouldn't have to squeeze onto the subway to commute to get off work every day.

Xu Mu downloaded a Xiaomi app, ordered a Xiaomi SU7 Max version, selected some configurations suitable for girls, paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan, and placed an order.

With the deduction notification, Xu Mu's balance became 20003.26 yuan, but Xu Mu didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

Earning money is ultimately for the purpose of providing for one's family.

After ordering the car, Xu Mu opened League of Legends as usual, ready to conquer the Rift.

But just as Xu Mu was queuing, Bao Yong, one of the partners of the turtle farm, sent him a WeChat message: "President Xu, let's go out for a late-night snack."

"Tell you something."

"?"

Xu Mu sent a question mark, then remembered that Bao Yong had mentioned in April that the shareholders wanted to withdraw their shares, saying that the third partner in their turtle farm wanted to withdraw.

Bao Yong contacted me so late, probably because of this.

"Where are you? Give me your location, I'm coming over."

"Okay, it's Xiao Lei's BBQ next to the turtle farm."

Xu Mu didn't reply to the message. Instead, he went downstairs and drove his electric scooter to Xiao Lei's barbecue restaurant.

About twenty minutes later, Xu Mu arrived at Xiao Lei Barbecue and saw Bao Yong squatting on the ground smoking.

"Mr. Xu, you've arrived?"

"Please come inside and have a seat!"

"Mr. Bao, why are you looking so gloomy?"

"Is it because Shen Xingyu wants to withdraw his investment?"

Their turtle farm has three partners, but Bao Yong does all the work. Xu Mu only helps out occasionally or sells turtles on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app) and takes a cut of the sales.

As for Shen Xingyu, he only provided the money and didn't care about anything else.

"Correct."

Hearing Bao Yong nod, Xu Mu roughly understood.

However, there must be something else going on here, otherwise Bao Yong wouldn't have that expression.

The two ordered some barbecue. After Xu Mu sat down, Bao Yong took out a few bottles of Budweiser from the refrigerator, opened them, and handed three bottles to Xu Mu.

"What exactly happened?"

Did he make any other demands?

Seeing that Bao Yong didn't speak, Xu Mu simply downed the beer in his glass in one gulp.

“Yes.” Bao Yong nodded. “Didn’t he invest 370,000 yuan last June?”

"He just called me and told me I absolutely must transfer 120,000 yuan to him before May 15th to pay off my car loan!"

"This isn't in accordance with the rules," Xu Mu said, taking a sip of beer. "How can you just decide to invest and ask for money like that?"

"But our contract is for a 300,000 yuan investment, giving him 20% of the shares. The extra 70,000 yuan is essentially a loan!"

"We really have to pay back this 70,000; we can't avoid it!"

"Then what are you worried about? Let him figure out how to make the remaining 50,000 himself."

Xu Mu frowned.

To be honest, no matter what industry you're in, no one who invests asks for money after only a few months.

They invested all their money in the turtle farm, buying turtles and equipment.

He had almost no cash on him, and he would buy turtles whenever he had money.

"He said he wanted me to give him 120,000, but the investment amount would still be 300,000."

"?"

Upon hearing this, a question mark inexplicably appeared above Xu Mu's head.

"What do you mean?"

"Who will cover the extra 50,000? Are we supposed to foot the bill?"

"Yup!"

When Bao Yong heard this, his expression was exactly the same as Xu Mu's, full of question marks.

“He said he gave us 370,000 yuan last June, but the investment agreement was signed in January this year. He said the losses last year had nothing to do with him, and that he should also pay interest on the 370,000 yuan that he used for half a year last year.”

"Besides that, we also have to share the profits we made in the first half of the year with him!"

"???"

Xu Mu's forehead was covered in even more question marks.
