During the Spring Festival, apart from playing, Xiang Nan also writes.

He has now accumulated 100,000 yuan. In 2000, this amount of money could buy a house in a second-tier city.

However, Xiang Nan will not be satisfied, because for him, 100,000 yuan is just the beginning. If he wants to make money, he must make at least 100 million yuan.

After school starts in February, it will be Zhao Ye's birthday.

At Xiang Nan's suggestion, everyone pooled their money together and helped Zhao Ye buy a pair of Air Jordans.

He knew that Zhao Ye's sneakers did not fit well, and his feet were worn out because of this, which affected his daily training.

In addition, his father was laid off at the time, which caused financial difficulties for the family. Zhao Ye was very sad about this and even quarreled with everyone.

Xiang Nan couldn't give Zhao Ye money directly, so he could only give him this pair of sneakers, hoping to make him happy.

"Air Jordan?! Holy shit, are they real or fake?" Zhao Ye was really pleasantly surprised after receiving the pair of sneakers.

At that time, these were the best sneakers, and a pair cost more than 800 yuan. He wanted them very much at one time, but because they were too expensive, he never gave up.

He didn't expect everyone to understand his thoughts so well. He was really touched.

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Fortunately, the New Year has just passed and everyone has some New Year's money. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to afford such expensive shoes.

Zhao Ye, if you wear such expensive shoes, you have to play well. This Nike Cup is up to you!"

"Okay, no problem." Zhao Ye said happily.

…

Time flies by.

The following March, April and May passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, during several monthly exams, Xiang Nan always ranked first in grade, with scores above 700 points.

Such results also satisfy the school, teachers and parents very much.

And in June, another piece of good news came.

Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House wants to publish "The Injurious Incident of Young Cha Biliang" written by Xiang Nan.

This book has been serialized in the "Sprout" magazine since last year, and has been serialized for twelve issues, with each issue containing 15,000 words, and has received a good response from readers.

Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House recognized its popularity and wanted to publish it in a volume.

Naturally, Xiang Nan would not refuse this.

Therefore, the publishing house sent staff to discuss the details of publishing with Xiang Nan, mainly the issue of royalties.

And because Xiang Nan is still a minor at this time, only seventeen years old, and does not have the ability to sign a contract on his own, the publishing contract must be signed by his parents for the publishing contract to be valid.

So Xiang Nan told his father and mother everything.

Only then did Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua find out that their son was secretly writing and had already become famous. They couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Son, how could you do this? It's delaying your studies." After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua began to complain.

"Mom, why did I delay my studies?" Xiang Nan spread his hands and said.

He is now number one in grade. Is there any student who studies better than him?

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, waved his hands and said, "That won't work either. You are a student, the key is to study, you know? Writing takes up too much time and energy."

"Son, how much money will you make after publishing this book?" Chen Jianjun asked curiously.

"I can't make much money, maybe two or three hundred thousand." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.

In the new century, the sales of physical books are no longer very good. And youth pain literature such as "The Murder Case of Young Chap Liang" has a relatively narrow audience.

That is to say, middle school and high school students like it, but people who go to college may not like it. Therefore, sales of tens of thousands of copies are good, and Xiang Nan does not expect it to be a hit.

"Two or three hundred thousand?!" Even so, Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua were still shocked.

Their life savings combined didn't amount to that much money. Two hundred thousand yuan was really not a small sum.

"Okay, why don't we meet him." Chen Jianjun advised Zhang Xiaohua, "My son is talented and shouldn't be buried. Isn't there someone who writes good essays and was recommended for admission?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and finally nodded, "It's just writing, but it can't delay studying. Otherwise, you will stop immediately."

"I know." Xiang Nan smiled.

Later, accompanied by his parents, Xiang Nan signed a publishing agreement with Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House and received an advance payment of 50,000 yuan in manuscript fees.

Xiang Nan didn't keep the money and gave it all to his parents.

Chen Jianjun, Zhang Xiaohua and his wife were naturally happy when they got such a large sum of money out of thin air, and they had smiles on their faces for several days.

However, they were happy and they still told Xiang Nan to study hard and try to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Xiang Nan agreed one by one.

…

Entering June, the Nike Cup begins.

The experimental middle school basketball team fought hard and advanced to the finals, achieving very good results.

But in the finals, we have to face the second middle school.

The Experimental Middle School has already lost to the No. 2 Middle School once, so now facing this powerful opponent, everyone's morale is relatively low.

To this end, Sukaite found Xiang Nan, "The Nike Cup finals are about to be played. I hope you can join the game and bring glory to the school together."

"Farewell, I haven't touched the ball in almost a year." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Don't be modest, I know your skills are still there." Su Kai smiled, "Not everyone can do a slam dunk from the free throw line."

"Then you have to think carefully. If I go, nothing will happen to you." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "If I steal your limelight, don't cry then."

"If you really have the ability, then grab it. I'm afraid you won't." Su Kai said with a smile.

"Okay, then I will play with you." Xiang Nan nodded.

Later, Xiang Nan joined the experimental middle school basketball team.

"This is Chen Xun, from Class 1, Grade 2, the new forward of our team." Su Kai introduced.

"Okay, buddy, you're finally here." Zhao Ye said happily when he saw it.

The other players looked at Xiang Nan and felt strange.

Because Xiang Nan has not appeared on the court for a year, his reputation has declined significantly. Especially the freshmen in high school have no impression of Xiang Nan.

"Is he really good?"

"Looks like he's quite tall, but I don't know how skilled he is?"

"Just give it a try. Don't be a show-off. You may look at it but it doesn't work."

They discussed one after another.

"Chen Xun, have you seen that these boys are not convinced? It seems that you have to show your skills." Su Kai looked at Xiang Nan and said.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Then come."

Subsequently, the team was divided into two groups and conducted confrontation training.

Xiang Nan's performance shocked all the team members at once.

Stealing the ball, passing the ball, layups, three-pointers, rebounds, dunks, defense... Xiang Nan is not good at any of them. He is fast, skilled, physically strong, and almost invulnerable.

The members of the basketball team of the Experimental Middle School were stunned and admired.
