Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Maki Mizuno looked somewhat gloomy and shook her head, saying:

"without"

"He's already dating other girls."

Otose's pupils dilated as she exclaimed in astonishment:

"This"

"Then do you still like him?"

When Mizuno Maki heard the question, she paused for a moment and failed to deny it immediately.

Even after a long silence, she failed to reply.

Seeing her reaction, Granny Otose guessed what was going on and comforted her with a smile:

"When we were dating before high school, we would quickly realize that the other person wasn't a good match for us, and then we would break up."

"Maybe he and that girl will break up soon too."

Knowing Bai Feng's personality, Mizuno Maki shook her head slightly and said:

"Bai Feng is a very good person; he wouldn't break up with his girlfriend so easily."

Grandma Otose laughed heartily:

"Couples back then were all so lovey-dovey."

"But in the end, didn't they still break up?"

Who knows what the future holds?

"It would be a real shame to give up now."

"It's not easy to meet someone you like."

"Once you miss it, you may never encounter it again. You should cherish what you have."

As Granny Otose said this, her expression turned somewhat bitter, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have increased considerably at that moment.

Maki Mizuno fell into a long silence, her mindset gradually changing because of Granny Otose's words. Thank you so much!

Chapter 375 The New Profession: Puppeteer!

Family.

"I'm back." Shiro Shiro pushed open the door and went inside.

The two people in the living room turned to look at them at the same time.

"Welcome back." Ayaka Sato put down her game console and happily walked over to help Bai Feng carry the groceries to the refrigerator.

"Welcome back." Erina Kamishiro slowly peeked her little head out from the sofa, secretly looking at Bai Feng.

Shiro Kaede put the umbrella on the balcony to dry, and then rubbed Erina's head as he went back to his room to put his schoolbag away.

After he came out.

They were making late-night snacks, just like before.

Not a moment.

Kamishiro Shiro said to the two of them:

"Erina, Auntie, come over for a midnight snack."

The two walked over happily.

As Erina Kamishiro ate her late-night snack, her fair legs dangled slowly under the table. Suddenly remembering something, she asked:

"By the way, Bai Feng, didn't you say you were going to pay my royalties today?"

"Has the money arrived yet?"

Tonight, Shiro Shiro's mind was completely focused on Chitanda Mirai, and he almost forgot about this matter.

However, Erina's words reminded him of his intimate moments with Chitanda Mirai, and he suddenly developed a taste for it.

"Bai Feng?" Erina Kamishiro frowned and called out a few times as she looked at him, who was in a daze.

Kamishiro Shirofumi snapped out of his daze, his old face slightly flushed, coughed twice, and then shook his head, saying:

"not yet."

Erina retorted:

"Why haven't you looked into something as important as money yet?"

"What if the money doesn't arrive or something goes wrong?"

Ayaka Sato nodded slightly:

"If it's just a small amount of money, then forget it. But Bai Feng, your two books are selling so well, so your income must be quite high."

"Let's check if the money has arrived first, so we can contact the publisher if there are any problems."

Divine Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll take a look now."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and clicked on online banking, intending to check how much income he had in his bank account.

You have received a transfer of 37,950,000 from Futaba Co., Ltd.!

Upon seeing the income, Shinobu Shiro's face lit up with joy, thinking that an income of around 3800 million would definitely be enough to unlock his next career.

But when he thought about Japan's tax rates, he looked helpless.

Japan's tax structure is actually quite different from that of many developed countries.

Income below 195 million yen: 5%

Income between 195 million yen and 10 million yen: 330%

Income between 330 million yen and 20 million yen: 695%

Income between 695 million yen and 23 million yen: 900%

Income between 900 million yen and 33 million yen: 1800%

Income between 1800 million yen and 40 million yen: 4000%

(Note: Higher income may be subject to a higher tax rate, such as 45%)

Based on his current income, that's definitely around 45%.

So that means his income should have been at least 7000 million.

They've deducted about half now!

Shiro Shiro sighed softly.

No wonder I've seen so many celebrities evading taxes in Japan before.

Almost half of my income was deducted directly.

Bai Feng didn't know whether those people felt sorry for him or not, but he felt very sorry for them.

Despite feeling sorry for him, Shiro Kaede is currently quite law-abiding and has no intention of evading taxes.

However, regarding royalties and taxes, he felt it would be better to handle the transfer through the publishing house.

No matter what, the people at the publishing house are all very shrewd. They've been in business for so long, they must know how to evade taxes.

Shiro Shiro felt that under their management, the tax rate would definitely be lower than if he did it himself.

As for how much lower, a detailed data list will be sent over later, so Shiro Shiro didn't need to worry about any other shady dealings and entrusted it to them with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Shiro Shiro told the two of them about his income.

Sato Ayaka and Kamishiro Erina were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then they were extremely shocked.

"How much?!" Erina Kamishiro's eyes widened. "3795 million yen?!"

She silently complained to herself.

No wonder so many people want to be writers.

This novel is well-written; it really makes money!

But Bai Feng's income is probably already at the ceiling among Japanese writers, right?

Even if it's not the ceiling, it's at least in the second tier, right?

Ayaka Sato covered her mouth in surprise: "3795 million? That's an incredibly high income!"

Keep in mind that her own monthly income is only around 300,000 yen.

Moreover, this only happens when there are a lot of work-related situations.

Under normal circumstances, having 100,000 yen would be considered quite good.

Kamishiro Shirakaze's current income has actually reached 3795 million?

That's at least 126.5 times her peak monthly income!

And this is just one month's income!

Even though Bai Feng is still just a high school student, he has already reached this level of income?

It's important to know that many Japanese families have savings of less than 100 million yen.

Even some middle-class people might not have as much savings as Bai Feng has now!

However, Ayaka Sato was still very pleased that her nephew's income was so high.

With over 30 million yuan in savings, as long as he doesn't squander it and finds a stable job after graduating from university, he'll be financially secure for the rest of his life.

at this time.

Erina Kamishiro remembered that Bai Feng's income was only based on last month's situation.

His book, "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," was available for about half a month last month.
