He then loaded the items onto a small truck that he had driven out from the guesthouse.

This small truck was quite suitable; it managed to hold everything they wanted to load.

Ji Yang drove while Wu Mi sat in the truck, and they quickly made their way to the county town.

Upon arrival in the county town, Ji Yang helped Wu Mi open a bank account.

Seeing Wu Mi’s puzzled look, he said, “From now on, the money from sales will be deposited into this account.”

“Brother, this is all your money.”

“I’ll come to you when I need money.

Just keep the card safe.”

“Okay.” Wu Mi felt very joyous inside, which showed that Ji Yang held her in his heart.

They didn’t have to wait long before they saw a truck arriving from the provincial city.

Ji Yang found a few movers to transfer the items onto the truck.

The man who had come—a middle-aged person—took his job very seriously.

After inspecting everything, he said, “I’m just responsible for picking up the goods.”

“I understand.”

The middle-aged man then made a phone call.

Soon after, Ji Yang’s phone rang; it was Chu Shuyuan.

“We’ve received the liquor and the mountain goods.

We’ll pay a hundred thousand upfront.

If the results are still good, there will be more money.”

“One hundred thousand is already quite good.”

“Just keep what I give you.

But be careful on your own.”

“I know.”

Ji Yang then reported Wu Mi’s bank card number to the middle-aged man.

Following another phone call by the middle-aged man, one hundred thousand yuan was deposited into Wu Mi’s account.

The middle-aged man drove off, and when Ji Yang took Wu Mi to the ATM to check the balance, Wu Mi’s eyes sparkled, and she could barely control her breathing.

“Brother, is this all money?”

She looked around as she spoke.

Ji Yang laughed, “Of course it’s money.

We’ll withdraw a few thousand, and you’ll see.”

Ji Yang then taught Wu Mi how to withdraw money.

In addition to a bank card, a credit card was also issued for Wu Mi.

Seeing the money actually come out, Wu Mi became very excited, “I’ve never seen so much money before.”

“Come on, let’s go buy a cell phone too.

You’ll need it later on.”

With Wu Mi in tow, they bought a mobile phone, and seeing computers for sale as well, Ji Yang also purchased a laptop.

“Brother, this is like a dream.

I never thought I’d have so much money.”

“You’ll have even more money in the future.”

“I know a sister in the village.

She hooked up with a rich man at your guesthouse, and she doesn’t even have that much money.”

“That’s because the rich man she’s with isn’t actually that rich,” Ji Yang said with a laugh.

The two didn’t stay long in town and quickly drove back.

Ji Yang didn’t want anyone to know what he was up to, and driving the truck was just an excuse.

When he drove up to Wu XiaoMei’s house, Ji Yang looked at Wu Mi and said, “Make arrangements as I’ve told you, and if Wu XiaoMei is trustworthy, you can bring her along too.”

“I understand.

Don’t worry.”

“Don’t talk about making so much money.

Just mention a little bit; otherwise, some may get jealous.”

Wu Mi nodded vigorously, “I got it.

That’s happened in our village before.

Someone came back after making money and talked about it.

Then everybody went to him for loans, and when he didn’t lend it, he was labeled a bad person.”

Seeing that Wu Mi understood, Ji Yang didn’t elaborate further.

When they got to Wu XiaoMei’s home, Ji Yang proposed that she help Wu Mi with the business, and Wu XiaoMei readily agreed.

Tears shimmered in Wu XiaoMei’s eyes at the prospect of being entrusted with this task.

Noticing her emotional reaction, Ji Yang inwardly nodded.

This woman could indeed be useful.

Although he could see Wu Mi’s attachment to him, Ji Yang still gave her some instructions before returning to where he was staying.

Upon entering the house, Ji Yang took out the newly purchased laptop.

Now that he had his own computer, he could start doing the things he planned.

Sitting down and lighting a cigarette, Ji Yang contemplated what he should write about.

He decided on a novel about immortals and cultivators.

In the end, Ji Yang felt that writing about immortality posed fewer risks; even if someone wanted to nitpick, it would be difficult.

For an official like him, writing this genre was the safest choice.

“Immortal Court.”

After deciding on the title, Ji Yang began quickly brainstorming ideas for the book.

The story would primarily revolve around a love story, but would also include familial love and friendship.

Elements began to fit together into the narrative.

Ji Yang intended to include the subtle power struggles within official circles into his novel.

After briskly outlining his thoughts, Ji Yang started writing earnestly.

Ji Yang had accepted that the success of his novel was uncertain—it might even be a flop.

But since he wanted to legitimize his income, he would still aim for this endeavor.

There was no need to worry about results for now.

As long as he had the time, he should commit to this project.

The outline became more refined as he worked on it, and the more he fleshed it out, the more content he found necessary to add.

Time passed, and while he didn’t write a word of the main text in one evening, the outline had become comprehensive.

Looking at the completed outline, Ji Yang felt it indeed had some readability.
