At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

"I see!"

Park Jung-jae smiled and said, "Looks like I'll still have to attend this welcome party!"

As an Olympic champion, and also a newcomer to this generation.

Park Jung-jae had received an invitation to the welcome party long ago, but he felt that his singing was just so-so and he didn't really want to go on stage to perform.

But now the situation has changed. Since Lin Xiamo likes to sing, he will cater to her interests.

Girls dormitory.

Since they lived in the same building, Lin Jiayu often brought takeout food to Xu Pipa's dormitory to find this little mushroom-headed girl.

She did this entirely out of good intentions, because she knew that Xu Pipa was relatively introverted and had a special family situation, and she was worried that she would be bullied in the dormitory.

Therefore, Lin Jiayu, who was both a senior student and a top student in the club, would often visit Xu Pipa's dormitory to keep abreast of her situation.

In fact, this could be considered a "task" given to her by Shen Qiushan, since the two of them were both in medical school and lived very close to each other, so Shen Qiushan instructed Lin Jiayu to take care of Little Mushroom Head.

Lin Jiayu finished class early today, so she bought her lunch in advance, thinking she would chat with Xu Pipa about her feelings on the first day of class.

As a result, news about Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award went viral online, and the two naturally shifted their conversation to Shen Qiushan's award.

"Loquat, have you read that book?"

“I’ve never heard my brother-in-law mention it before, and then suddenly he won a big prize. I’m really curious about what that book is about.”

Lin Jiayu said as she opened the lunchbox.

"I haven't seen it either."

Xu Pipa shook her head; in fact, she was just as curious as Lin Jiayu.

She was also shocked by the news. She had the idea of ​​making money by writing online novels during the summer vacation, and she had been scanning the best books since then.

To this day, she has already written the beginning of her novel, hoping to follow in Uncle Shen's footsteps.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award without saying a word!

Now that we can't even see a shadow of them, how can we talk about catching up?

However, Xu Pipa was still happy for Shen Qiushan, and she sincerely hoped that Uncle Shen would get better and better.

"How mysterious!"

"I'll call my brother-in-law in a bit and see if I can get the draft from him."

After saying that, Lin Jiayu began to eat large mouthfuls of rice.

For this foodie, nothing brings her more joy than eating.

After taking two big bites of meat, Lin Jiayu had a satisfied expression on her face. She turned her head and asked Xu Pipa, "Pipa, how was your first day of class?"

"It's pretty good!"

"It feels different from high school!" Xu Pipa quite enjoys the atmosphere of university classrooms.

Lin Jiayu nodded slightly, but the next moment her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed at Xu Pipa with an incredulous expression: "Uh, Pipa, you..."

Lin Jiayu opened her mouth, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

"Sister Jiayu, what's wrong?"

Xu Pipa looked at Lin Jiayu with a puzzled expression.

“Loquat!”

"Do you have to be so dramatic!"

Lin Jiayu took a deep breath and then pointed to the "two giant beasts" placed on the desk.

The stool was a bit low, so Xu Pipa had to hunch over slightly while eating.

Then, Grandma served it!

Xu Pipa didn't pay much attention to this detail because she often encountered similar situations when she was alone.

For her, it was even a bit of a source of distress!

too big.

Uncomfortable.

It's a burden!

This has always been Lin Jiayu's weakness, although she is not naturally deficient in A-levels.

But they weren't exactly wealthy; they were just average.

Therefore, Lin Jiayu often eats things like papaya and pig's trotters, which are said to help her grow taller.

But so far, Lin Jiayu has not seen any real results.

So when she saw her grandmother with the little mushroom haircut easily get on the table, she was naturally both shocked and envious.

"It's too heavy..."

"Having a fulcrum makes things much easier."

Xu Pipa explained in a low voice.

It would have been better if she hadn't explained; the moment she said that, Lin Jiayu became even more frustrated. She tried to lean forward, but no matter what she did, she couldn't achieve the same effect as Xu Pipa.

"Loquat, what do you usually like to eat?"

Lin Jiayu asked curiously.

"Uh……"

Xu Pipa thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head: "It seems like there's nothing I particularly like."

"Isn't there any food that you particularly like?"

Lin Jiayu pressed for more information.

She felt that there must be some reason why a girl as petite as Xu Pipa could have such talent.

For example, she often eats a certain type of food!
"Not really."

Xu Pipa shook her head again. Since her grandmother passed away, it was already very difficult for her to have enough to eat every meal, let alone have any particular taste in food.

If I had to say what I like...

That must be meat!

Because the opportunity to eat it is relatively rare.

It was only during those two months of final preparation for the college entrance exam that she was able to eat meat every day!

That was all because of Shen Qiushan.

"Sigh, that's what you call a gifted individual!"

Lin Jiayu sighed softly, filled with envy.

After finishing her meal, she glanced at Xu Pipa again, then said with a grin, "Pipa, let me make this clear, I'm not a pervert!"

"Then, can I touch it?"

"what??"

Xu Pipa's face immediately turned red. She never expected Lin Jiayu to make such a request.

"I was just curious."

Lin Jiayu chuckled: "I want to experience the feel of this scale..."

Just as Lin Jiayu made this "wicked" request, Xu Pipa's roommates Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui walked into the dormitory together.

In the four-person dormitory, Xu Pipa and Han Tongtong got along better, while Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui were closer.

Han Tongtong had no classes this afternoon, so she went to visit her high school classmates at another university.

Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui did not isolate Xu Pipa. She went back to her dormitory first because she received a WeChat message from Lin Jiayu.

The two of them had just returned from eating in the cafeteria.

"Loquat, Jiayu, why are you still in the dorm?"

"Even CCTV reporters came to interview Uncle Shen!"

"They're all in the second cafeteria right now!"

Zhang Xue spoke as she entered the dormitory.

"what!"

"CCTV reporters came to interview my brother-in-law?" Lin Jiayu was taken aback; she really didn't know this. Xu Pipa was also unaware, so she was just as shocked as Lin Jiayu upon hearing the news.

"They said it was the production team of the 'Focus Person' program."

"This show seems to be quite famous. Several students eating in the cafeteria were also randomly interviewed."

"There were just too many people, it was impossible to squeeze in, otherwise I would have tried my luck too!"

"That's CCTV! I really want to get on screen!"

Zhang Xue explained while expressing her feelings.

Ma Sihui then said, "Senior Jiayu, aren't you going to join in the fun?"

"Secretary Lin from the Youth League Committee is here too!"

The relationship between Lin Jiayu and Lin Xiamo is no secret; at least everyone in Xu Pipa's dorm knows it.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui, although they looked down on Xu Pipa, a poor student, were still warm and kind on the surface.

Xu Pipa's "background" is too powerful.

With the help of senior student Lin Jiayu, and a close relationship with the most outstanding freshman Shen Qiushan!
Who knows, if the two of them want to have a good future at school, they might have to rely on her.

"Loquat, let's go take a look after we finish eating!"

Lin Jiayu immediately became interested.

After all, it was a CCTV interview, so she was still very curious.

"Uh-huh."

Xu Pipa nodded repeatedly, saying that it would be fine if it were any other kind of excitement.

She still wanted to join in the excitement surrounding Shen Qiushan.

online.

News about Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award is everywhere.

This news shocked the entire literary world!

After all, this award broke the monopoly of foreign writers on the Nebula Award and achieved a breakthrough!

For the first time, Chinese science fiction has gone abroad!
Because of the numerous positive impacts, this event is no longer just about winning an award; on a larger scale, it could be considered a successful example of cultural export.

You could also say they brought glory to the country!
The incident has generated a great deal of discussion online.

Millions of netizens exclaimed, "Awesome!!"

But what shocked netizens was that Shen Qiushan's award-winning book was unavailable for purchase!

"Can anyone tell me where I can buy 'The Three-Body Problem'?"

"No, it's already won the Nebula Award, but the book hasn't been published yet?"

"This is outrageous! I can't even find this book online!"

"I originally wanted to support Lao Shen, but I found that I couldn't buy the book."

"For those of you who want to support Lao Shen, just subscribe to his previous book on Tencent Novels!"

As the event gained more and more attention.

More and more netizens are clamoring to buy the book.

At 2 PM.

China's largest online bookstore, DingTalk, prominently displayed a pre-sale advertisement for "The Three-Body Problem" on its homepage.

The book is divided into three volumes.

Single book: 29.8 yuan!
The complete set of three volumes costs 79.8 yuan!
In other words, buying all three books together will save you about 10 yuan!
At almost the same time, e-commerce platforms such as Jingxi Bookstore, Kuaiyin Bookstore, and Pinduoduo Bookstore also launched pre-sales for "The Three-Body Problem".

As pre-sales began on major platforms, pre-sale sales soared, with netizens engaging in a frenzy of spending to support Shen Qiushan!
Chinese Language Publishing House.

Chen Min spent the whole day working on the launch and sales of "The Three-Body Problem".

Because Zhou Gang had deliberately created many obstacles for her, the publication of "The Three-Body Problem" did not proceed smoothly.

Therefore, Chen Min spent most of her energy today on "filling the gaps".

She was filling in the hole while cursing Zhou Gang in her heart!

If it weren't for his interference, Chen Min's workload today would actually be much less.

Four p.m.

Within two hours of the pre-sale opening, the total pre-sale sales of "The Three-Body Civilization" exceeded 10 copies across all platforms!

When the news reached the Chinese-language publishing house, everyone was shocked and stunned by the sales figures!

It just goes to show how powerful the internet is!
With the support of massive online traffic, "The Three-Body Problem" became an instant bestseller!
Everyone was curious about what kind of book could make foreigners willingly give such a big award to a Chinese writer.

Neither Chen Min nor Huawen Publishing House had any intention of engaging in scarcity marketing.

However, the market was so hot that it felt like they were using scarcity marketing!
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, you have an excellent eye for talent! You have no choice but to admire it!"

"If it weren't for you, our publishing house might have missed out on such a huge hit!"

"I'm more familiar with the printing factory, I'll go over and keep an eye on it!"

Zhou Gang's strength is that he is pragmatic.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he quickly changed his strategy. As for the position of editor-in-chief, he could only wait and see!
Sanjiang Municipal Government Building.

Lin Moxuan, who had been busy all day, was finally ready to leave work.

He glanced at his watch; there were still 15 minutes left.

Lin Moxuan couldn't help but think of his son-in-law Shen Qiushan, who had won the Nebula Award. The social impact of this event was much greater than he had imagined.

He had also been instructing his secretary, Chen Xiaohua, to keep an eye on the developments of this matter.

He picked up the phone on his desk and called Chen Xiaohua to his office.

"How's the thing I asked you to keep an eye on going?"

After Chen Xiaohua arrived, Lin Moxuan immediately asked.

"Director Lin, the online reviews are almost all positive; netizens are praising your son-in-law!"

"It's said that he single-handedly brought domestic science fiction to an international level!"

"Some people even say he's the number one science fiction writer in China!"

Chen Xiaohua truthfully reported the information he had gathered.

"The rating is high enough."

Lin Moxuan raised an eyebrow slightly. His ideal situation was for this matter to pass quickly.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of Shen Qiushan, that guy would be swaggering around!

"Not only are the reviews high, but netizens are also showing their support with real money!"

Chen Xiaohua continued, "Within two hours of the pre-sale opening of 'The Three-Body Problem,' sales have exceeded 10 copies, directly breaking the sales record for domestic science fiction novels!"

"By the way, Director Lin, the CCTV program 'Focus on People' went to Sanjiang University immediately. They're probably going to do a program about Shen Qiushan!"

CCTV?

"Focus Figures"?
Lin Moxuan was shocked upon hearing the news, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Having spent his entire life within the system, he understands the true value of CCTV better than the average person.

That's state media!

Every sentence, every word, has a meaning it wants to convey.

No program is broadcast shoddy; right now, the production team has actually interviewed Shen Qiushan!
That means it has official endorsement!

If anyone dares to slander Shen Qiushan again, they'd better think twice before doing so!

After all, he has the approval of the central government!
"Director Lin, your son-in-law is really amazing!"

"People say that a tiger father begets no dog son, and it's really true. Shen Qiushan became your son-in-law and even won the Nebula Award!"

Chen Xiaohua was good at conversation; what appeared to be praising Shen Qiushan was actually a subtle form of flattery.

He attributed all the credit for Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award to Lin Moxuan!
After listening to his secretary's words, Lin Moxuan shook his head slightly. He could still distinguish between flattery and being realistic.
Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award originally had nothing to do with him.

But the problem now is that Shen Qiushan, having won the Nebula Award, has a greater chance of stealing his own sweetheart away!
This is just awful!
