I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

On New Year's Eve, Ye Feng arrived at his uncle's house early in the morning, otherwise he would have been receiving calls from early morning.

Upon arrival, Ye Feng intended to discuss his trip to Shanghai with his cousin, but instead, he was dragged to the card table to play cards!

"Playing cards so early in the morning?"

"Why does playing cards have to be early or late? Just play whenever there are people around. After a year of hard work, can't we at least enjoy ourselves?"

My cousin was also very happy. He had a comfortable New Year. He bought a house, made money from his business, and walked around the village with a sense of pride.

I wasn't short of money before because I relied on my father, but now it's different; I rely on myself!

My cousin, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned, clutching her phone and texting someone. She should have been in bed at this hour, but her mother had dragged her out of bed early this morning.

Now, I feel even more disgusted with myself, especially after my older brother's shop opened and started making money.

Helpless, Ye Feng could only sit down and play cards. As for talking to his cousin about going to Shanghai, he would have to find a time to talk about it alone. Otherwise, if his aunt and cousin heard him, they might kidnap him!

The eldest uncle also sat at the table, looking at Ye Feng with great satisfaction.

He originally wanted to bring Ye Feng back directly, since he was a member of their Ye family, but the child needed to go to school, and there was no one in the family who could take care of him.

Furthermore, the reason he did that back then was simply because he didn't like his younger brother and his ex-sister-in-law. He didn't do anything like that. If people found out, he would be cursed to death!

So he stepped in and insisted that the house must be left to Ye Feng, so that the child wouldn't be left without a place to live.

When Ye Feng was in school, his father paid little attention to him. After all, he was busy and worried that if he interfered too much, the child would become rebellious. After all, it would hurt the child if neither parent wanted him.

Later, he would occasionally sneak over to check on his nephew and found that he was actually quite good; apart from liking to surf the internet, he hadn't been wasting his time, so he was relieved.

His family, going back three generations, hardly knew any characters, so he could only ask questions about his studies; there wasn't much he could do to help, whether it was good or bad.

But I never expected that this child would do so well in his studies!

Although this is what he thinks is good, after all, the teachers all said that the child can go to university, which he thinks is very good.

As for being inferior to those in the school who can get into top universities, that doesn't matter!

What's the point of comparing? None of my own kids are cut out for this. Ye Feng is already doing very well.

But to his surprise, his nephew gave him such a big surprise: he started making money as soon as he entered his senior year of high school, and he made more money than he had been making money for decades!

At that time, he felt that it was good to have knowledge. Look, his nephew could earn more than him by sitting in front of the computer and typing those little squares. How wonderful!

So when his son said he wanted to take his grandson to school in the city, he wholeheartedly agreed and bought him a house outright!

"Ye Feng, how's school?"

"Your uncle is doing great; things are much easier than in high school."

"Yeah, but we can't just focus on having fun. There are so many college students these days, the competition is fierce."

My uncle couldn't help but give me a lecture: "You're getting old, there's nothing you can do about it."

My cousin glanced at her dad speechlessly.

"Dad, Ye Feng won't have to worry about food and drink even if he doesn't go to college. The money he earns from his novels is more than most people who go to the top universities can earn."

"That's unstable after all. Finding a stable job gives you a backup plan!"

"Heh, he earns in a year what others might not earn in ten years, and it's stable. Isn't that just a waste of time?"

Because of their different ages, Ye Feng has been exposed to different things. Therefore, in his cousin's opinion, Ye Feng doesn't need to go to work at all. He can just focus on writing novels. Going to work is a waste of time!

However, in Ye Feng's mind, writing novels at home was too boring. He would rather find a less busy job, work during the day, and write in his spare time.

But he had never said these words to anyone else, not even Su Miaomiao.

"You're wasting your time, staying cooped up at home all day. Why don't you write a novel that makes that much money!"

My cousin was speechless, and rolled her eyes at herself, just as my uncle finished playing his cards.

"Rocket!"

"No...you're from the same family, are you trying to scam me?"

"I'd love to!"

This is like taking grudges to the poker table.

My cousin was also heartbroken. She had prepared such a well-thought-out book, hoping to amaze everyone with it, but it just didn't get much attention.

It can't be said that it flopped; there were still some numbers, but they were far less than she expected. Her royalties were almost ten thousand yuan, yet she was still not satisfied!

Fortunately, her cousin and Miaomiao asked her to take charge of customer service and promotion for their online store, and they paid her a salary. Now she can support herself and has even saved some money!

Seeing his little darling getting anxious, the uncle awkwardly touched his nose and said nothing more.

After all, she's his youngest daughter. Even if her uncle doesn't say it, he dotes on her rotten. Otherwise, where would her cousin get all those high-end skincare products? She couldn't have bought them herself, could she?

Although my aunt keeps nagging me, if she doesn't agree, will my uncle give her any money? Don't even think about it!

The four of them played cards at home until noon. Their aunt and cousin's wife had prepared lunch and came over to call them to eat.

My aunt got angry as soon as she saw my cousin sitting there so casually. Her daughter doesn't even go into the kitchen during the New Year and is just playing cards. If she gets married, her in-laws will scold her to death!

But since it was Chinese New Year, she didn't scold her. Her daughter was no longer a child, so she wanted to save face.

After dinner, his cousin wanted to continue playing cards, but Ye Feng said he was sleepy and wanted to take a nap, so he quickly found a chance to slip away.

He doesn't actually like playing cards, but they're short of players. If he doesn't come, the three of them won't have anything to play.

"Cousin, I need to talk to you about something!"

Upstairs, his cousin came up too, and Ye Feng quickly started talking to her.

"What's wrong?"

"Come to Shanghai with us after the New Year. Miaomiao and I have a pretty good online store, but we don't have time to manage it. Why don't you go and help us manage it?"

"Oh? I can't do that, no, no, I don't want to ruin your branch."

My cousin quickly waved her hand, saying that if she really had that ability, she wouldn't have let me stay at home writing novels for so many years. The thought of having to manage people makes her anxious!

"It's not that complicated. You'll be in charge of the warehouse's inbound and outbound operations. Just let me know if anything is running low, I'll place the order, and then you'll put it into the warehouse. Also, you'll need to manage the staff. They're all part-time, so you'll just need to allocate the orders reasonably."

"I really can't do it. You can let me argue with people online, but this..."
