Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 126 The Rich Lingzi

In the evening, Zhong Qing returned home with a slumped face, completely in a daze.

He slumped on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another, his expression numb.

"Change your shoes when you enter the door."

Lu Yulan picked up the mop and wiped off the shoe prints left by him, with an impatient expression on her face.

"In a few days, the mortgage will be repaid, and my son still has two cram schools to enroll."

"Everyone else in the class is enrolling in the cram school. Our son's grades have fallen behind, so we can't do it."

When Zhong Qing heard this, his brows were tightly knit together.

He has regretted it a little now. He bought the current school district house and had to pay a 30-year mortgage.

The monthly payment is more than 8000, plus the daily expenses of the family, he can't bear it.

"How much money is left in Cary?"

Zhong Qing raised his head and looked at Lu Yulan, his eyes were bloodshot.

"how?"

Lu Yulan felt guilty and avoided his eyes.

"My salary is kept with you, so all the money is saved."

"No money!"

Lu Yulan looked displeased.

"How could there be no money? I have more than 2 yuan a month, all of which are in your custody. How can there be no money?"

Zhong Qing's eyes widened, and he stood up from the sofa all at once.

Lu Yulan was taken aback for a moment and was startled, then she became angry.

"What are you yelling at?"

"Get rid of the mortgage, the money to buy vegetables, fuel the car, and maintain it."

"Let's consider the cost of my son's schooling. He is growing up now, so he needs to eat something good, right?"

"Do you know how much a catty of beef is? Huh?"

"Just the three melons and two dates you earn, is it enough to live?"

When Zhong Qing heard this, he immediately became angry.

"You stay at home all day and don't work. Whenever you have time, you go to play mahjong. If you do something early, will we be so nervous?"

As he spoke, he glanced at a new bag on her body and frowned.

"what is this?"

"Did you take the money to buy the bag again?"

Zhong Qing's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he reached out to grab it.

"What's wrong with buying a bag? Isn't it just a bag?"

Lu Yulan pushed his hand away, tightly protecting the newly bought Chanel bag, confidently.

Hearing this, Zhong Qing took two deep breaths, and suddenly trembled with anger.

"I lost my job!"

"You still buy such an expensive bag, have you considered how to live your life?"

"What... what? You... unemployed?"

When Lu Yulan heard this, she froze for a moment, her lips twitched, and she suddenly turned pale.

"The project manager ran away with money. The company now owes a large amount of foreign debts and cannot pay wages at all. The people who followed this project have all been laid off."

Zhong Qing supported his forehead, his tone was full of exhaustion.

The atmosphere in the room froze. The couple sat on the sofa and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhong Qing called his relatives and friends one by one to borrow money, but they were either ignored, or they answered the phone and said they had no money.

Lu Yulan crossed her arms and sat on the sofa watching TV, frowning.

"Are those bags of yours worth some money? Sell two and pass this time first. I'll buy them for you later."

"Don't even think about it, my bags are all limited."

Lu Yulan rolled her eyes and hummed softly.

Zhong Qing rubbed his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

The music played on the TV program made him feel like he was in a mess.

"Next, please enjoy the full bloom."

On the screen, Zhong Lingzi stood on the elevator and began to sing.

Lu Yulan's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Honey, look, isn't this your daughter?"

She hurriedly patted Zhong Qing's arm.

Zhong Qing raised his head and looked at the screen.

Zhong Lingzi on the screen sang on the stage, showing off her charm to the fullest.

After a platinum package, there is also a make-up artist and a stylist.

Now she is like Cinderella wearing a glass slipper, ushering in a gorgeous transformation.

"It's really Lingzi."

Zhong Qing murmured and fell into a daze.

"right?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that your daughter is quite competitive."

"They're all big stars now."

"Being a star can make money."

"You call her and ask her for some money."

Lu Yulan was very excited.

Zhong Qing was also a little moved.

The singers who appeared on the stage of Sheng Sheng are basically very popular.

Various advertisements, endorsements, and commercial performances have all received soft hands.

Zhong Lingzi will definitely not be short of money in the future, a proper cash cow.

Zhong Qing rubbed his hands, feeling extremely excited.

However, when he thought about his attitude towards her before, he felt a little uncertain.

"However, our attitude towards her before was a little cold."

"Now, she may not be willing to see us."

Zhong Qing hesitated.

"What's the matter. After all, you are her father, what's wrong with asking her for some money?"

Lu Yulan didn't care about it.

"And the girl is soft-hearted, say something nice and come to the door with some gifts."

"Will she kick you out again?"

The couple discussed for a while, and Zhong Qing also felt that it was feasible, and nodded repeatedly.

There was hope in my heart again, as if I had grasped a life-saving straw.

Early the next morning, the two of them returned to Star City with presents of all sizes.

"This car is a bit old, and I want to replace it with a new one."

Zhong Qing sat in the car, driving this second-hand Audi, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"When the time comes, ask your daughter for money, and you can change it for anything you want."

"Let me tell you, celebrities can make money. Tens of millions a year."

"Tens of millions? So much?"

Zhong Qing was startled at first, and then his heart began to beat faster.

"Our family's mortgage has to be repaid."

"It's over. I guess I will have a second child in the future, and I will change to a bigger house. The three rooms are not enough."

"At least four bedrooms."

"We will have to pick up our parents to live in in the future, and the fourth bedroom is probably still young."

Zhong Qing fantasized about his future life, with a smile on his face.

"Look how promising you are, your daughter has become famous, why don't you give us another villa. I'm always thinking about what the big flat is doing."

Lu Yulan sneered.

"Yes, yes, the villa is good. As for our boss's villa, I have visited it, and it is really grand."

Zhong Qing's eyebrows danced brightly, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"We don't have to be so tired in the future. Our son will have to buy a house when he gets married."

"And the future care of the elderly, these are all counted on your daughter. When you arrive, put your mouth on dessert and learn to be smart."

"I will."

Zhong Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, those wives in my circle of friends travel to Europe every year. I want to go too."

Lu Yulan thought to herself, looking at the newly bought bag, she suddenly didn't like it that much.

She took a fancy to several other styles.

……

Platinum Building, in the recording studio.

Gongsun Jin and Zhong Lingzi finished recording the song and went out together.

"The commercial endorsement you received, is the filming over?"

"The filming was over in the morning."

Zhong Lingzi stretched her waist like a lazy cat.

Gongsun Jin reached out and scratched her armpit.

"Yah~"

Zhong Lingzi was so itchy that he almost curled up into a ball, pretending to be angry and glaring at Gongsun Jin.

After the first episode of Sheng Sheng was broadcast, she received many endorsement advertisements for products.

Zhang Yana helped her make some arrangements and chose a high-end ice cream endorsement for her.

This girl likes to eat, and shooting an advertisement for eating ice cream is just what she wants.

I ate several boxes of ice cream while filming.

I don't know if it was a good shot, but she ate very well anyway.

Seeing a large amount of endorsement fees deposited into the bank card, Zhong Lingzi was very happy.

"Help me count, how many digits is this? I didn't count wrong, did I?"

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million! Ten million!"

"Huh ~ 500 million!"

"It's really 500 million."

Zhong Lingzi covered her mouth and blinked quickly.

2000 million two-year endorsement fee, this price is exaggeratedly high, but the current top stream in the entertainment industry can basically reach it, or even exceed it by a lot.

According to the contract, the company took 25%, and the remaining 75% belonged to her.

Ordinary people can't get such a high share in the contract, they are all five to five points.

With the help of Gongsun Jin and Zhang Yana, Zhong Lingzi's contract was changed several times, and the conditions were so good that many company veterans were very envious.

In addition, after the celebrity receives the endorsement fee, he also needs to consider the operation of the studio and the wages of his employees.

In the end, the money you get will be greatly reduced, and you won’t get that much, but it is still an unimaginable number for ordinary people.

Zhong Lingzi's situation is special. She doesn't have a studio or staff under her control, and she doesn't have a team to support. She only has Zhang Yana as a manager.

So there is no need to give money to others for the time being.

"Yes, you are a rich woman now."

Gongsun Jin smiled slightly.

“记得要纳税哦。劳务收入超过800块就要纳税。纳20%，超过5万元的加征10成。所以这笔钱，你要纳40%的税。”

"So much?"

When Zhong Lingzi heard this, he subconsciously felt distressed.

"1500% of 40 million is 600 million."

"Paying 600 million yuan in taxes really hurts me to death."

Zhong Lingzi made up his mind, with a distressed expression on his face.

In the past, she was used to living a hard life, and she had to plan carefully for one or two yuan, and she was reluctant to spend it.

Now that she has made a lot of money, she is very reluctant to take out so much money all at once.

This is human nature, and Gongsun Jin can understand it.

"It's no wonder those celebrities are evading taxes one by one."

"It's even possible to evade [-] million yuan in taxes."

Zhong Lingzi murmured, quite emotionally.

There are indeed too many taxes to pay, and it will be distressing for everyone.

In the past, when Zhong Lingzi had no money, he was filled with righteous indignation when he saw celebrities evading [-] million in taxes.

It wasn't until I made money that I could feel the heart-wrenching feeling of paying taxes.

After thinking for a while, she looked sideways at Gongsun Jin and said seriously, "Gongsun Jin, can you do me a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"Supervise me to pay taxes properly."

After Zhong Lingzi finished speaking, she threw herself into Gongsun Jin's arms with a resentful look on her face.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much?"

"Because you earn a lot."

Gongsun Jin smiled lightly.

The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and many innocent people will gradually lose their clean color after entering it.

After experiencing the hard work of earning money and suddenly earning a lot of money, these people are unwilling to share their wealth.

It's like some people who have tasted the benefits of power are unwilling to delegate power.

This is human nature.

Gongsun Jin was also very worried that Zhong Lingzi would also be shaken in the face of huge wealth.

But she held on in the end.

"Okay, then let's go to the tax office now."

Gongsun Jin readily agreed.

"Can I go there in two days? I want to experience the feeling of being a multi-millionaire for two more days."

"I never dreamed that I could make so much money."

Zhong Lingzi buried her face in his chest and murmured.

"alright."

Gongsun Jin rubbed her hair.

Zhong Lingzi paused for a moment, then said softly: "Gongsun Jin, at this moment, I really feel the unevenness of this world."

"Why? Why can I suddenly earn money that ordinary people can't earn in a few lifetimes?"

"This world, isn't it too crazy? I just sang two songs. How can I deserve such a huge wealth?"

"When I heard that a star could earn 208 million a day, I felt that the world must be crazy."

"I can't imagine what kind of life this is. Poverty once limited my imagination. I envy those people's wealth. I also long for those people's wealth."

"But when this kind of life really happened to me, I felt a little scared again."

As Zhong Lingzi spoke, his body trembled slightly.

"In this world, there are tens of thousands of people who are working hard for thousands of dollars a month."

"Gongsun Jin, I don't think I deserve to have so much money at all."

"When I was rummaging through the trash can in the heavy rain for my sister's box of medicine. I never thought I would have today."

"It's like a dream...Gongsun Jin, can you understand what I mean, my thoughts are a little messed up right now."

"I am very happy to have made money. But I feel ridiculous."

Hearing this, Gongsun Jin patted her on the head lightly.

"I can see what you mean. You feel that your abilities do not match the wealth you have, do you?"

"Yes."

Zhong Lingzi nodded slightly.

"I, like you, had similar thoughts."

"But then I slowly discovered that the wealth of many people in this world does not match their abilities."

Gongsun Jin comforted softly.

"Some people are rich not because they are smarter and harder than others. It's just because they have a lower moral floor than the average person."

"Compared to these people, we don't steal or rob, we don't break the law and discipline, and we don't do harm to nature. What's the worry about making clean money?"

"It was the best of times and the worst of times."

"Success requires a lot of luck."

"You and I are so lucky."

"If you seize the opportunity, don't worry about gains and losses."

"Um!"

Hearing Gongsun Jin's comfort, Zhong Lingzi gradually calmed down.

After the two walked for a while, Zhong Lingzi looked at the balance in the bank card, gritted his teeth, and took Gongsun Jin to the tax bureau for consultation.

When he came out of the tax office, Zhong Lingzi let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's easier now."

After finishing speaking, she looked at the balance in the card, counted it carefully, and drooped her head again.

"Whoa, I've only experienced being a multi-millionaire for a few hours."

Gongsun Jin couldn't help smiling when she saw her pouting and resentful face.

"In the future, continue to supervise my tax payment."

Although she was very distressed, she still told Gongsun Jin repeatedly.

"it is good!"

Gongsun Jin nodded slightly.

"Little rich woman, you have earned so much money, can you treat me to a big meal?"

"Okay!"

Zhong Lingzi smiled and nodded, took his arm and ran to the supermarket, buying a lot of ingredients.

"Eating out is too expensive, buy vegetables and cook at home."

Even after making a lot of money, she is still as stingy as ever.

Gongsun Jin didn't mind going to her house for dinner, because the food cooked by grandma was delicious.

After buying the ingredients, when she passed the cold drink counter, she took two more boxes of ice cream and yogurt that her sister liked.

Just after the two returned to Chan Bay, an Audi drove into the underground parking lot.

"She actually moved to such a good community, it seems that she has really developed."

Zhong Qing showed joy.
