Chapter 86: The Sales of This Book Are Guaranteed!

“A children’s song video, and it actually has such a high number of paid subscriptions?”
Yu Zhile’s understanding of this world was once again overturned. It felt as if piracy no longer existed, or perhaps people’s living standards had truly risen so much that no one cared about spending a few extra yuan anymore.
He stretched his body, still sore and tired from last night’s exertions, then officially got out of bed and walked out of his room.
In the living room, Qin Haiyu was already up, tending to their child. The baby stood steadily before her, but still hadn’t learned to walk yet.
Yu Zhile reported, “Honey, overnight ‘Good Bunny’ actually broke a million subscriptions!”
Qin Haiyu helped the baby, who wanted to walk towards her but couldn’t lift his feet, then lost balance and tumbled to the floor. She replied, “I know! I checked when I got up, and it was already at a million then! Husband, I think very soon you’ll go from being the Godfather of Romance to the Godfather of Children!”
Yu Zhile suddenly thought of something and said, “Honey, I have an idea!”
Qin Haiyu was curious, “What idea?”
Yu Zhile said, “It seems we don’t really have anywhere to spend all this money, so I’m thinking the earnings from these children’s works could be converted into books and donated to elementary schools in remote areas.”
Qin Haiyu agreed, “Great! I fully support this!”
Yu Zhile said, “Let’s do it then. I’ll tell the editor. When my first children’s book is published, all the earnings from these works will be converted into books for those schools!”
Qin Haiyu nodded earnestly, “Husband, even if you can’t change the world like the protagonist of a novel, your kindness and love will still make the world warmer!”
Yu Zhile knelt down to kiss his wife’s cheek, then kissed the baby as well, saying, “With you two here, the world is a warmer place!”
“Ew, so cheesy!”
Qin Haiyu teased, and Yu Zhile laughed heartily and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
After breakfast, he picked up his phone and explained the plan to his editor, Zhang Xue. Zhang Xue was instantly overwhelmed with admiration!
“You’re one of the rare, truly great authors!”
Yu Zhile smiled wryly. As a plagiarist, great is hardly the word…
Doing a little charity is just for peace of mind! After all, he had no ambition to become the world’s richest man; earning so much would just sit uselessly in the bank.
...
Afternoon.
The advertisement for “Zifei Yu,” the Godfather of Romance, venturing into children’s literature began to change again!
With the addition of the charity initiative, subscription numbers for Yu Zhile’s four children’s songs soared even higher!
At that moment, Yu Zhile realized just how terrifyingly cohesive his reader base was!
“Support the author’s children’s song charity!”
“Though it’s annoying that the author has stopped writing romance, these songs are genuinely good! My baby is only a year and a half, and she already sings ‘Two Little Tigers’!”

“I read most of the author’s novels through pirated copies, but this time I spent four yuan to subscribe to all four songs. I hope after the New Year, our local elementary school will receive donated books from the author!”
In her room, Qin Haiyu, taking advantage of her husband’s trip to the restroom, posted a comment to stir things up: “Let’s go! Mom fans, take action! Author, keep it up! Love you, mwah!”
...
Evening at Old Liu’s house.
After dinner, Old Liu didn’t go out for a walk but watched TV instead, wanting to see how many subscriptions Yu’s son’s children’s songs had garnered in one day.
The children’s channel advertisement shocked him!
Charity?
All earnings from children’s literature converted into books and donated to impoverished schools?
Suddenly, he felt a profound respect.
That kid’s really something!
His four yuan spent last night hadn’t been wasted!
He then opened the subscription rankings, and his eyes nearly popped out!
Fourth place on the subscription chart?
2.46 million subscriptions?
In just one day, “Good Bunny” had reached 2.46 million subscriptions?
Madness!
The subscriptions were unbelievable!
Such a simple children’s song, earning so much money?
Old Liu couldn’t make sense of the world anymore!
He saw that besides “Good Bunny,” the top ten also included “Two Little Tigers” and “Counting Ducks,” with 1.86 million and 1.21 million subscriptions respectively!
Even the least popular, “Pulling Turnip,” was ranked eleventh, with 670,000 subscriptions!
At one yuan per subscription, the total revenue from these four songs exceeded six million!
If not donated, it meant Yu’s son could earn more than a million yuan from just these four songs!
And this was only the first day!
Soon, “Good Bunny” might overtake the current chart leader, possibly reaching ten million subscriptions!
Thinking about it, Old Liu felt a twinge of envy.

Some people really do make money effortlessly...
Easily earning millions!
...
Two weeks later.
Elementary schools had begun their winter break.
Yu Zhile’s mother, having finished grading the final exams, packed her clothes and came to the city to look after her granddaughter.
Yu Zhile’s father, with the card room under renovation, stayed at home and relied on Old Liu’s hospitality for daily meals.
Since the card room was nearly finished, he invited Old Liu to go into business together, promising to take the loss himself if things went poorly and split profits equally if things went well. So now, as he freeloaded meals at Old Liu’s house, not only was Old Liu welcoming, but he also instructed his wife to add extra dishes daily to ensure Yu’s father was well taken care of.
At this time, Yu Zhile’s book printing sample arrived by mail, specifically for his review. Once he gave his approval, the publishing house would arrange mass production, aiming to release the book before the new semester began.
Yu Zhile received the package, opened the book, and examined it. It was neither large nor thick, with only thirty pages aside from the covers.
Including the children’s songs, there were fifteen works, each occupying a single page.
He flipped through it; the table of contents listed “Good Bunny” as the first story. The paper quality was excellent, the thickness substantial, and the entire book was printed in color.
Phonetic annotations accompanied every word, and each page featured related cartoon illustrations, clearly designed to appeal to children.
Yu Zhile skimmed through it, satisfied, and went home.
Once home, he handed the book to his mother, saying, “Mom, take a look. Wouldn’t this make a perfect textbook?”
His mother looked curiously, then was surprised by the collection of fables!
“The Little Horse Crosses the River,” “The Wolf Arrives,” “The Crow Drinks Water”…
As a language teacher, she found these children’s fables thoroughly engaging!
“You wrote all these?”
She looked at her son in amazement.
Yu Zhile neither confirmed nor denied, saying, “So, wouldn’t this be perfect as a lower-grade language textbook?”
His mother nodded, “These fables are really good, even better than some in the official textbooks!”
“Excellent! If mom approves, the book’s sales are guaranteed!”
Yu Zhile picked up his phone and notified Zhang Xue, “The book’s arrived, go ahead and print and publish!”
