CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 227: WEDDING PREPARATION FUND

"Okay, Teacher Lin Tian, I believe it can be done!"

"By the way, I’d like to pass on blessings to you and Teacher Gan Yanyu again... consider it a celebration in advance!"

"If one day I could really see my artists getting married, that would indeed be a great joy."

"Also, this month’s salary has been transferred to your card, remember to check it later."

Salary?

Seeing this last message, Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and switched out of the mobile phone window.

He saw the backend text message.

"[Zhonghua Agricultural Bank] Le Yun Entertainment Company completed a transfer deposit of 2,190,470.85 to your account ending in 4396 on January 24 at 11:41."

"Units, tens, hundreds, thousands..."

Lin Tian counted the numbers on his phone screen one by one.

He took a deep breath:

"Little Gan."

"Hmm?"

"Do you prefer a detached villa or a large apartment?"

"Ah?"

"..."

Two million!

For the first time in his 18 years of life, Lin Tian saw such a reassuring number in his bank account.

Although he had already anticipated the concept of "a total sale of 200,000 copies of the album."

Still, after actually receiving the money, the number far exceeded his expectations.

After a while, He Zhichen sent over the details.

"[Physical album: Single price 168 yuan, sales 76,000]"

"[Digital album: Single price 48 yuan, sales 130,000]"

"[Including income from the total streaming media platform traffic, after deducting the revenue share]"

"..."

"[You and Teacher Gan Yanyu earned a total of 2,190,470.85 yuan this month, no problems, Teacher Lin Tian, as per your request, it has been transferred to your account.]

Finally, He Zhichen didn’t forget to add confidently:

"[Our studio’s revenue-sharing ratio is now the highest in the company! With the sales volume of this debut album out, we are already among the most valued studios in the company!]"

"..."

Seeing that his account suddenly had more than two million more, Gan Yanyu also fell into thought for a moment.

"Do you have anything you want to buy? A new cello? Clothes or dresses or something? Or shall we go all out and buy a new house?"

This money was the joint earnings of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

Hence, Lin Tian sought her opinion first.

What Lin Tian was mainly after was a sense of ceremony.

He usually wouldn’t spend much, but since he had made a neat sum of money, it was acceptable to take a portion of it to reward themselves.

Considering buying a house wasn’t out of the question either.

More than two million, in a big city like Qingzhou, might be too much for a detached villa, but it would be no problem to get a large apartment on the outskirts, and there’s also next month’s salary.

It wasn’t that Lin Tian felt his humble old neighborhood didn’t match his "great musician" status.

Xu Yong had more than once commented that Lin Tian was a very practical person with low material desires.

To Lin Tian, it didn’t matter if the place he lived in was a bit small.

The main reason was to use this as an excuse—

To deceive Gan Yanyu into moving in together!

"Lin Tian, do you really want to move?"

Gan Yanyu asked,

"If you do, then let’s move."

"I really want to—but not really."

"Actually, I quite like this place..."

Gan Yanyu said softly,

"We live across from each other, a phone call away if we want to see each other, and if we need to practice, we can go to grandpa’s cafe. Although there’s some distance, I can always feel your presence... I really like this kind of life for me."

"Of course, that’s just what I think, if you, Lin Tian, want to live in a bigger house, I support you! If you want me to move in, I can, but then we would be together every day, and it might get harder to bear!"

Gan Yanyu’s serious expression turned into a smile at the end.

"..."

"Forget it—"

Lin Tian thought for a while and smiled helplessly.

Since Gan Yanyu said so, forcibly making her move away from the house where she grew up with her grandpa, she would probably miss it too.

And he definitely couldn’t bear it.

"Anyway, we’ll be going to college in a few months; we can consider moving when we get to the capital."

It was a bit premature to discuss moving.

But there were other things that Lin Tian felt were necessary to discuss.

"So, is there anything else you want to buy? Since we’ve made money, let’s treat ourselves well."

"Then...."

Gan Yanyu stood up, came behind Lin Tian, rested her hands on his shoulders, and leaned her face in.

She beamed with a radiant smile:

"Please treat your Little Gan to a pudding family bucket~"

"...Eh, that’s it?" Lin Tian was taken aback.

"Don’t just think about spending when you make money, these are the songs you wrote seriously one by one, Lin Tian, they’re your hard work."

Gan Yanyu put her index finger on Lin Tian’s face, pretending to be angry.

"Okay then."

Lin Tian thought for a moment, "But this includes your part too, how about I send you some first, and you can buy whatever you want?"

Lin Tian always felt that it wasn’t quite right to have the entire two million to himself.

Even if it was "on behalf" with Gan Yanyu agreeing, with such a large sum, Lin Tian also felt guilty, especially considering Gan Yanyu’s naivety.

He should spend some of it for Gan Yanyu first or transfer some money to her.

"Let’s do it this way."

Gan Yanyu had a flash of inspiration.

"I heard that two people preparing for marriage have a joint savings, and when the savings are enough, they’ll get married."

The girl clasped her hands together, smiling,

"Let’s have a ’wedding savings’ like that too. From now on, we only keep enough for our daily needs, and the rest goes into the savings."

"When we get married, we can take it out~ Whether it’s buying a marriage house or something else, we can use it then."

"..."

Knowledge gained.

Unexpectedly, Little Gan has a set of knowledge about marriage although she hasn’t quite grasped "love" yet.

But, what kind of extravagant wedding would require spending millions or tens of millions to hold?

Lin Tian held his forehead.

Now, there was one more reason why he had to win the Ker Cup.

There’s no turning back now!

If he loses the competition, fails to get married, there would be no way to end it!

"Okay, then we’ll do as you say."

Lin Tian agreed.

He had little desire for possessions anyway.

In the worst case, forget about the two million, and just realize the dream first!

"Yay!" Gan Yanyu raised her hands happily.

"[Producer Task, release—]"

"[Task Objective: Compose a piece of music, release it as a duet with your partner, and within seven days, get [10 million] play counts and [100000] ’shocked’ emotion value from the audience]"

"[Task Duration: 7 Days]"

"[Task Reward: Skill [Japanese Proficiency]]"
