The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Na Wei went to work today and was called to the office by his boss Wang Ruizhi to talk about the company's IPO financing. Wang Ruizhi promised to give Na Wei 10 million options.

Wang Ruizhi's company mainly deals in medical beauty products and has made a lot of money in recent years because of the boom. As the head of the marketing department, Na Wei's income has naturally increased. He is considered one of the company's senior executives, with an annual salary of nearly one million.

By this calculation, Na Wei can be said to have achieved success in both career and family, so naturally he became a little too proud of himself.

"Xiaoyue, my son's first birthday party should be grand. Don't be afraid to spend money. Invite some performance groups to liven up the party." Na Wei said to Li Xiaoyue excitedly while holding his son.

"Brother Wei, do you have any other requests for the first birthday party?" Li Xiaoyue took the pen and notebook carefully and wrote down Na Wei's requests one by one.

"Xiao Yue, don't listen to his nonsense. The first birthday party doesn't need to be too grand. Just make it passable. Try to keep the budget within 100,000."

Shen Lin obviously disagreed with Na Wei.

"Wife, this time the one-year-old birthday party will be held together with your housewarming party. I want to save some face for my parents and invite the whole village to join in the fun." Na Wei handed the child to Wang Gang and persuaded Shen Lin.

Wang Gang took the child, teased his nephew for a while, and then said: "Let's increase the budget a little bit! My parents are both face-conscious people. It will be great for them to show off in front of the whole village this time."

Shen Lin said speechlessly: "One hundred thousand is too much for me, and you want to increase the budget. How can I live in the future?"

Na Wei smiled and said, "Wife, I just got a raise, and I will have tens of millions of stock options in the future. Our good days are still to come."

Shen Lin rolled her eyes and said, "You can't spend money recklessly. Prices are low in our hometown, and banquets are not expensive. A budget of 100,000 is too much. There is no need to waste money."

Wang Gang advised: "This is not extravagant. We can hold two banquets together, with a budget of 100,000 for each banquet, so let's add up to 200,000! I'll pay half of the money."

Shen Lin was speechless and said, "Shen Lei, you are so arrogant now. You asked for 100,000 yuan right away. Your monthly salary is only 8,000 yuan. Where did the money come from? How much did you get when you divorced Xie Meilan?"

Wang Gang said: "Xie Meilan left the house with nothing, and all the money in the house was given to me."

"Ah." Li Xiaoyue screamed.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I took care of Xie Meilan's mother, paid for her and helped her, so it's fair for her to leave the house with nothing."

Wang Gang never told anyone else about Xie Meilan's pregnancy, otherwise the divorce would have been in turmoil.

"Humph, Xie Meilan is quite sensible. You have done more than just money and effort for her mother." Shen Lin's face looked much better, and then said:
"Since you're divorced, go on a blind date for me tomorrow."

"Uh!" Wang Gang was surprised: "There's no need to be so anxious!"

"Why not? You don't want to be old anymore. Your parents are waiting to have a grandchild." Shen Lin said, "Also, don't waste the money you have. Save it for buying a house."

Wang Gang discovered that his sister was actually a brother-supporting woman. She never let him pay for any big or small things at home, and sometimes she even gave Wang Gang money.

Just like the renovation of the house in his hometown this time, Wang Gang originally wanted to pay half of the money, but Shen Lin refused to accept it, saying that her brother-in-law had a high income and he should pay more, or even all of it.

This is also thanks to Na Wei's good personality. If an ordinary man meets a brother-supporting woman like Shen Lin, he would feel uncomfortable in his heart even if he doesn't say it.

"Sister, I make some money by writing novels. Now I earn tens of thousands of yuan a month just from writing novels." Wang Gang said to Shen Lin while holding his nephew:
"You don't let me pay for my parents' house renovation, so I'll take it as your filial duty, but you can't deprive me of the opportunity to do so! I have to pay for the housewarming party."

Shen Lin frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. She found that her brother had changed a lot recently.

In the past, Shen Lei was the pride of his family, but he was also a little cowardly and had no opinion of his own. From childhood to adulthood, whether he went to school or worked, it was almost always his parents and sister who made the decisions.

Take going to school for example. When Shen Lei was applying for his major in the college entrance examination, it was Shen Lin who helped him. Later, it was Shen Lin's idea for him to take the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination.

Although Shen Lin has done a lot for his brother, she has also manipulated Shen Lei's life in disguise.

Wang Gang is not Shen Lei after all. He has his own opinions and cannot be influenced by others. If Shen Lin had not been doing it for his own good, the relationship between the siblings would have been broken long ago. "Wife, I think what Xiao Lei said makes sense. He is also the son of his parents. It is human nature to want to be filial." Na Wei did not want the siblings to have a falling out, so he stepped out to be a peacemaker.

"Xiao Lei hasn't bought a house yet. The housing prices in Beijing are so expensive now! He spends money so recklessly. When will he be able to buy a house?" There was a hint of mist in Shen Lin's eyes, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

Shen Lin's eyes turned red, and Na Wei and Wang Gang both felt their scalps tingling.

"Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good, but your brother has grown up now and can earn money. We can buy a house by next year at the latest," Wang Gang advised.

"Writing novels makes so much money, will you have enough money to buy a house in Beijing next year?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you guys underestimate me too much. Your brother wrote a popular novel, and his monthly royalties are tens of thousands. After the book is published, the copyright share will be at least several million per year."

"what!"

Now it was Na Wei and Shen Lin's turn to be surprised.

Wang Gang pulled up the monthly royalties details from his mobile phone, and Shen Lin snatched it away to take a look.

"You made 76,000 yuan in royalties last month?"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Yes, this is just the royalties. I will earn more next year."

Na Wei was surprised and said, "If I had known that writing books could make so much money, I would have written them too. Why would I have to work so hard as an employee?"

Shen Lin rolled her eyes at her husband in annoyance and said, "With your poor writing skills, will anyone read your novel?"

Na Wei scratched his head and said, "That's right!"

Wang Gang said: "So sister, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Your brother can make money now, so let me pay for the housewarming party!"

Shen Lin thought about it and said, "Okay then! You can pay for the 100,000 yuan. Tell my parents later and make them happy."

Wang Gang probed: "Sister, there is one more thing. I want to quit my job and concentrate on writing novels."

"Absolutely not." Shen Lin immediately shouted: "Don't even think about resigning. You finally passed the civil service exam, how can you resign?"

Wang Gang was speechless and said, "The monthly salary of a civil servant is not even enough to cover the cost of writing a book. It is meaningless to waste time at work every day!"

Shen Lin said angrily: "What do you know? Civil servants have decent jobs and high salaries, but so many people try their best to get in.

Writing books can make money, but it is too unstable. Being a civil servant is more stable and it brings honor to my parents.”

“But I was not happy with that job.” Wang Gang said with a wry smile: “I spent the whole day in the office doing nothing and felt like I was almost exhausted.”

Shen Lin advised: "Then use your free time to write a book. Anyway, don't even think about quitting your job. And don't mention it in front of your parents, or I will never forgive you."

Wang Gang didn't expect Shen Lin to react so strongly.

When he said he wanted a divorce, Shen Lin didn't do so.

"Xiao Lei, brother-in-law, I also want to advise you not to resign. The environment outside is very bad right now. The economy is in a serious downturn. Many people are unemployed and staying at home. Resigning is too irrational." Na Wei said:
"If you feel bored, why not go out and travel to relax, or think about your second novel. In any case, quitting your job is irrational."

"Okay! I'll think about it." Wang Gang was helpless.

Wang Gang is not an ungrateful person. Shen Lin and Na Wei opposed his resignation because they were doing it for his own good. There was no need for Wang Gang to argue with them. He could just do it first and ask for permission later. (End of this chapter)
