Yan Xin also called Chen Li and asked him and Liang Wei to come over for dinner in the evening and catch up on old times.

Gu Ru is making money crazily outside, trying to earn enough money for her retirement before quitting the music scene. She is not in Yangcheng.

She is not here, and naturally her manager Xiao Yin is not here either.

However, Madoka, who was once a non-mainstream person, lives in Yangcheng.

So Yan Xin also called her and asked her to come over for dinner in the evening.

We both live in the same community, work in the same company, and are considered friends. It is normal for him to have a meal together after he has been away for such a long time.

Not half an hour after returning home, while the two of them were still preparing ingredients in the kitchen, Madoka came over.

After a few minutes, Chen Li and Liang Wei also came over.

Yan Xin found that although Chen Li and Liang Wei both had smiles on their faces, their smiles were a little perfunctory. They seemed quite friendly to them after they came over, but they seemed a little distant from each other.

This made him feel a little strange - was there something wrong with them?

After Liang Wei came over, she went into the kitchen to help Ai Lili cook, and then Yan Xin was kicked out and asked to accompany Chen Li.

The two elders were not in the living room, but went to the balcony.

Yan Xin asked about the various data of Chen Li's new book.

Driven by the old book, Chen Li's new book has good data in all aspects. It is at the top of several lists. The data is so fierce that it is aiming to break records and is constantly breaking records.

The previous book did not have such a foundation, so it did not achieve such good results.

Starting from the 1st, it ranked first in the monthly voting list, and until now, it has been significantly ahead of the second place.

Unless there are any special circumstances, he will be the monthly ticket champion this month.

Not to mention sales, the entire site has no rivals.

The average subscription is the highest, and the key is that it also has the largest number of updates.

According to Chen Li's estimate, the new book's royalties this month will be in the hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, although the old book "Fights Break the Sphere" has been completed, it can still bring him good profits.

It has been more than a month since I finished the book, but this book is still ranked in the top five on the website's sales list, and it can also bring in a lot of royalties this month.

Next month is another semi-annual royalty settlement. Over the past six months, the sales of both simplified and traditional Chinese versions of "Fights Beyond the Sphere" have been very impressive, and the income is quite astonishing.

The physical book copyrights of traditional and simplified Chinese were sold before the new book was put on the shelves. The traditional Chinese version has been released this month, and the sales are also good. The simplified version will not be released for about two or three months.

Calculating this, Chen Li was a little excited and said to Yan Xin: "I think I can buy a villa by next month."

"Down payment or full payment?" Yan Xin asked.

Nowadays, if you invest in real estate, you will basically not lose money. Even if you lose a little in a short period of time, you can make it back very quickly, and you can double the money back.

So he will not object to Chen Li's decision.

"If you want to buy a villa, of course you can only make a down payment, otherwise you can only buy a villa in the suburbs with that little money." Chen Li felt a little depressed, "I just don't know if I, an online author, am qualified to get a mortgage."

Yan Xin didn't understand this either, and said: "Then you don't have to focus on the villa, you can just buy a few houses. If you need money urgently in the future, villas are not so easy to sell, and ordinary commercial houses are easier. If you don't sell them, just take them.

It’s more convenient to rent it out.”

"Let's ask then." Chen Lida said.

He added: "I want to buy a villa, not for investment, but because I want to live by myself. I feel it is more dignified."

The word "decent" is what he pursues. Perhaps it is because his previous life was too dishonorable and he was looked down upon by many people, so he cares about this very much.

Chen Li listened to Yan Xin's words and invested in some real estate. In addition to the house he lives in now, he also bought two houses in Baijingyuan. One is a new house and has been decorated. He will rent it out after a while.

.

One is a second-hand house. I bought it last year. It doesn’t need to be renovated. It can be moved in directly. It was rented out last year.

He bought both houses in full, and the area is not very large, more than 80 square meters.

Since he bought it, the house price has increased by hundreds of thousands, which has also made him more interested in investing in real estate.

He talked to Yan Xin about his ideal, which was to buy a dozen apartments, stop writing novels, and make a living by collecting rent.

When you are short of money, you can just pick a set and sell it, and you can live happily for a few years.

He doesn't understand other investments and doesn't dare to try them.

He still has a lot of deposits in his bank account, but some of them are fixed term and some are used to ensure his quality of life. Although he can deposit more to buy a house, he has never thought about using this money.

If you want to invest again, you can only wait until the royalties are settled next month before investing again.

Economically, he is relatively conservative.

Yan Xin quite approves of this attitude.

Although you have lost the possibility of becoming rich and wealthy, your future life can be guaranteed.

After chatting for a while with Chen Li about real estate investment, Yan Xin turned the topic to Liang Wei: "You and Liang Wei are getting along well now, right?"

After asking this question, Chen Li first looked over at the kitchen.

The kitchen was not visible from the balcony. He just glanced in that direction, then sighed and whispered:

"Not very good."

"What's going on?" Yan Xin was curious.

"I don't know what's going on," Chen Li was very depressed. "I used to have occasional quarrels, but they got better soon. She has a good personality and is easy to coax. But now... I don't know if it's her."

After writing a book and becoming famous, he got rich, and his spirit became high. He always kept a straight face and got angry with me at every turn."

"Can you bear this?" Yan Xin couldn't help but laugh.

In his impression, Chen Li was not a man who would accommodate women.

Chen Lidao: "There were times when I wanted to fall out with her and tell her to break up with her if she behaved like this, but when I got angry, she would just sit there and shed tears, looking very aggrieved...Mom

The egg...is too strong to come out."

After finishing speaking, he was silent for a while and then said:
Chapter completed!
