Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 197 - 195: Sonic Boom Dart, Strongest Spear and Strongest Shield

Knock knock.

Wang Ye knocked on the door.

About eight seconds later.

His mother opened the door.

She was wearing a somewhat stained apron, looking like she was preparing dinner, and her expression seemed exceptionally surprised.

"Xiao Ye? Why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming home? I haven't prepared any dishes!

If you had called ahead, I could have stewed some bone broth or something for you, to help you build up your strength."

"I wanted to surprise you." Wang Ye scratched his head as he spoke.

"What kind of surprise are you pulling on your parents, more like a shock... Oh, don't just stand at the door, come in! Just wear your dad's sandals."

His mother immediately brought Wang Ye into the house, then shouted towards the father on the sofa, "Old Wang, stop watching videos, hurry down to the supermarket to buy some ribs and soy sauce for your son! And you didn't buy the oyster sauce I asked you to buy last time, remember to grab it too!"

"Xiao Ye's back?" His father immediately sat up from his reclining position, shoved his phone into his pocket, "Wait a sec, I'll go buy it now!"

His mother moved two chairs, sat directly across from Wang Ye, smiling brightly, "Xiao Ye, training every day must be tiring. Have some good food now that you're home, how about I make you your favorite braised ribs from childhood?"

"Yeah, don't worry, I've been eating well outside, Anta provides me with five nutritious meals a day, very rich ones," Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

"You wouldn't believe it, lately those relatives come to the house every day bearing gifts, acting like something else. You remember your aunt who said at the wedding banquet you were useless without a job? Now she praises you for making something of yourself every day," his mother flipped through screenshots and photos on her phone, looking very excited.

Only her phone was an old one from five years ago, so there were noticeable frame drops and delays as she browsed through photos,

Wang Ye couldn't help but frown and say:

"Didn't I transfer two million to you recently, how come...?"

His mother turned off the phone, muttering, "I wanted to save some money for you to get a wife later. You see, the bride price for matchmaking is about three hundred thousand, the mortgage for buying a house will be three million, buying a car would also be three to four hundred thousand, plus the wedding expenses, and later the child's milk powder money, altogether it'll start at least five million, so you should remember to save more when you're out there, don't spend lavishly just because you're earning."

"It's fine, I have money now, you don't need to save..." Wang Ye said a bit helplessly.

"How much money can running even bring? Isn't it just the championship prize money from the race? I've heard the prize is just a hundred thousand, can you keep running forever?" His mother shook her head and said, "Xiao Ye, listen to me, saving more money won't do you any harm."

"I'll transfer another five million to you later. I really don't lack money," Wang Ye shook his head in resignation.

Even though the recent training for high-altitude skydiving in the wind tunnel had cost millions, as well as the expenses for climbing Mount Everest, hiring guides, obtaining permits, and buying insurance which also cost millions, but his assets now could still be described as too deep to see the bottom.

It must be noted that the endorsement fee after Wang Ye broke the marathon world record for the second time has risen to 25 million, plus the dividends from the promotional video he shot, the commissions from Douyin account collaborations with businesses, and so on...

So now the numbers in Wang Ye's bank account are still skyrocketing at an alarming rate.

This is a chain reaction triggered by breaking the world record.

At this point, even if he doesn't go out of his way to grab money, it would automatically fall into his pocket.

"Five million? Where did you get so much money?" His mother asked incredulously.

In her view, while Wang Ye may have broken a world record, he was still an ordinary person. In the eyes of the older generation, the marathon, a dull sport, barely connected to making money. Unless becoming a coach or teacher in the future, or winning a race for prize money, only then could he earn a little. They simply couldn't imagine there are endorsements and commercials that could earn him a fortune.

"Mom, you don't know, top athletes breaking world records are very valuable now, many companies are proactively inviting me to endorse their brands." Wang Ye scrolled through his phone and handed the endorsement contract to his mother, "Look, this is the contract I recently signed with Anta, they promised to pay me an endorsement fee of 15 million a year, oh no, it's 25 million now, since I broke the world record again last month."

His mother took the phone, repeatedly confirming the words on the photo of the contract.

"Wow... it's really 25 million? No wonder Anta made such a beautiful promotional film for you, even big celebrities don't get such treatment, right?"

Just as his mother was surprised,

His father turned the key and opened the door from outside, carrying a bag of ribs inside.

His mother immediately ran over to share excitedly with his father what Wang Ye had just said.

Wang Ye took over the bag with ribs and various ingredients.

He put on an apron by himself and went to the kitchen to start cooking the braised ribs.

Improving his cooking skill level along the way.

Wang Ye skillfully washed the ingredients, chopped the side ingredients, put them in the pot to blanch and remove the foam, then sauteed the sugar with rock sugar for color, and stir-fried the ribs evenly.

About half an hour later.

Wang Ye brought a plate of braised ribs to the table that could compare to a state banquet. The rich aroma and the bright sugar glaze color on the surface of the ribs immediately caught the attention of both parents.

"Xiao Ye, when did you become so good at cooking?"

"Did you secretly learn cooking skills?"
