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

Chapter 163, Lin Xiamo's disguise is exposed, and she is in crisis (Please subscribe)

"can!"

"can!"

The saleswoman nodded repeatedly.

With the real estate industry in a slump and house prices constantly falling, it's natural to negotiate discounts on houses with such high total prices.

Nowadays, real estate companies are not afraid of low prices, but they are afraid of not being able to sell their houses.

However, Director Lin's eyes suddenly widened: They bought it already?
A house worth over 17 million!
Why is it acting like you're buying a head of cabbage?

"Mr. Shen, let's go back to the sales office and talk!"

"Your price will definitely satisfy you."

The saleswoman had a big smile on her face. If she sold one of these houses, which cost more than 17 million yuan, she would get a substantial commission.

As the group returned to the sales center, Lin Moxuan specifically called Shen Qiushan to the back: "Qiushan, wasn't this too hasty?"

“You don’t earn money easily either, and the income from writing books is not stable. It’s hard to say whether there will be any follow-up income. It’s not worth spending all your money on a house.”

Lin Moxuan felt that Shen Qiushan had become arrogant and didn't know how to spend the money he had made.

"Dad, I earn much more money than the media reports."

"You don't need to worry about future income; this house price is still within my budget."

Shen Qiushan explained with a serious expression.

"Fine, it's your own money, you can make your own decisions."

"But don't forget about Xiaoxiao and Yanran! Especially Xiaoxiao, he's a boy, he'll need money a lot in the future!"

Lin Moxuan gave one more instruction, and then said nothing more.

Back at the sales center.

The four were immediately ushered into the VIP lounge.

Before we even started discussing the price, tea, snacks, and fruit were laid out on the coffee table.

The female salesperson also called over her direct supervisor, Manager Liu, who was in charge of sales.

"Are you Professor Shen, who just received the Nebula Award?"

Manager Liu recognized Shen Qiushan at a glance.

"I wouldn't dare call myself a teacher."

Shen Qiushan waved his hand modestly, quite surprised to be recognized here.

"Professor Shen is too modest. You've already won the Nebula Award!"

"Don't even mention teacher, calling him a master wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

This Manager Liu is indeed worthy of being the head of the sales department. He is very good at chatting and reading people. After learning that Shen Qiushan is a "famous writer", he took the initiative to give him a 9.2% discount and also rounded down the 10 yuan.

The house price dropped from 1750 million to 1600 million, saving 150 million!
"Teacher Shen, you are a renowned writer who has brought honor to our country; otherwise, it would be impossible for you to offer such a discount. I can show you the final prices I have here."

Whether it's true or not, this Manager Liu certainly gave Shen Qiushan, this "famous writer," a lot of face, as if he couldn't get such a big discount without this status.

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement amicably.

Shen Qiushan purchased this luxury house, valued at 1600 million yuan, in full!

The following week.

Shen Qiushan spent almost all his spare time dealing with the aftermath of the Three-Body Problem winning the award.

The staff of the Nebula Award organizing committee specially flew to Sanjiang to hold an award ceremony. In addition to the trophy and certificate, the most important thing was of course the prize money check!
The reason the Nebula Awards organizing committee made a special trip to China, besides presenting the awards, was more importantly to secure the overseas distribution rights and film and television rights for "The Three-Body Problem".

After negotiations.

Shen Qiushan ultimately only signed an overseas distribution agency contract with the other party.

Because the price offered for the film and television rights by the other party is too low, only 500 million US dollars!
Shen Qiushan isn't in a hurry to use the money right now. His plan is to wait until the book is fully released and then see the actual sales figures and reader feedback before making any decisions.

If sales explode, reader feedback will be excellent.

A price of $500 million could easily be multiplied several times over!

You should know that the film and television rights to a web novel like "I Really Didn't Want to Be Reborn" sold for 1000 million!

Besides, it's "The Three-Body Problem," which won the Nebula Award and is a hard science fiction novel!

Therefore, they are not in a hurry to sell the film and television copyrights; they will let things develop for a while.

Monday morning.

The course that Class 1 of Electrical Engineering will take is Electromagnetic Fields and Wireless Technology.

When Shen Qiushan arrived at the classroom, most of the students had already arrived. Since school had been in session for some time, most of the students had become familiar with each other.

In particular, the Electrical Engineering Class 1 was almost a monastic class, so the boys got to know each other more easily. When Shen Qiushan walked into the classroom, the boys were gathered in groups of three or five, chatting excitedly about some exciting topic.

Upon seeing Shen Qiushan arrive, his roommate Feng Sicong quickly waved to him: "Old Shen, come and take a look at this video!"

"Everyone says this person is Secretary Lin. You're so familiar with her, don't you think?"

Feng Sicong shoved his phone right in front of Shen Qiushan's face; the video was filmed in a bar.

On stage, an all-female band is performing. The lead singer is tall and has a voluptuous figure. She is wearing a white tank top, a distressed short denim jacket, high-waisted wide-leg pants, and thick-soled Doc Martens with a row of shiny studs.

She had short pink hair, the color of which perfectly complemented her lipstick and nail polish, exuding charm and allure with every gesture!
"It's definitely Secretary Lin!"

"Some netizens have already dug up other videos for comparison, and the mole on the collarbone is very obvious and cannot be faked."

Before Shen Qiushan could speak, Bao Beibei spoke up from the side.

Shen Qiushan shook his head: "It shouldn't be."

"They just look somewhat alike!"

After saying that, Shen Qiushan sat down and said to the two of them, "Don't always focus on gossip. Don't you both want to join the student council?"

"The student council recruitment begins this week!"

After hearing Shen Qiushan's words, the two indeed shifted the topic to joining the student council.

In the eyes of Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei, joining the student union is a very prestigious thing.

Shen Qiushan silently sent a WeChat message to Lin Xiamo: It seems like your singing outside is about to be exposed!

The person in the video was Lin Xiamo, Shen Qiushan recognized her at a glance.

He knew that Lin Xiamo was singing in a band outside, after all, he had dinner with three other band members when Lin Xiamo celebrated her birthday a few days ago.

However, Lin Xiamo's pink hair outfit shocked him; it was too different from her real appearance.

If Shen Qiushan hadn't recognized the other three members of the band, he wouldn't have been sure that the pink-haired lead singer was Lin Xiamo!
Shen Qiushan was quite surprised when he learned that his sister-in-law was still playing in a band, but he did not expect that Lin Xiamo's appearance during the performance would be so different from her real-life appearance!
Compared to the real-life Lin Xiamo, the flamboyant and individualistic Lin Xiamo with short pink hair on stage seems to be more charming!
Well, it might be because most men like "cosplay"!

For example, couples who have been together for a long time.

The passion had already waned when the woman suddenly changed into a nurse outfit...

The man will definitely roar like Li Yunlong under the cover of Heian City!

A WeChat message has been sent.

There was no response. At that moment, an elderly professor wearing glasses walked into the classroom. He was the teacher of the "Electromagnetic Fields and Wireless Technology" course for Class 1 of Electrical Engineering.

He is also a well-known expert in the field of electronic information technology in China, named Zhao Ruihai.

Experts of his caliber are typically found at universities like Sanjiang University or Tsinghua and Peking University.

They wouldn't even go to a lower-level institution.

The school parking lot.

After parking her car, Lin Xiamo picked up her phone and glanced at the unread messages.

It was actually sent by Shen Qiushan, who said that her singing was about to be exposed.

Lin Xiamo frowned immediately. Actually, from her personal perspective, it wasn't a big deal that her band singing was exposed.

The main obstacle is her father, Lin Moxuan. If he knew she was still in a band, he might do something drastic!

She replied to Shen Qiushan's message to inquire about the situation, but received no response; he must have been in class.

Arrived at the office.

Lin Xiamo casually wiped her desk, and before she could even sit down, a young teacher from the Youth League Committee knocked on the office door.

"Secretary Lin, Secretary Wu is looking for you."

"okay, got it."

Lin Xiamo responded. The Secretary Wu mentioned by the other party was Wu Fang, the secretary of the Youth League Committee.

He was also her direct supervisor. However, since she joined the company, the two had gotten along very well and had never had any disputes. Wu Fang also took good care of her.

Of course, Lin Xiamo also knew that this preferential treatment was largely due to her father's influence.

Although Sanjiang University is not under the jurisdiction of the Sanjiang Municipal Education Bureau, they are both part of the education system, so there will inevitably be some overlap and opportunities for collaboration.

Therefore, it is essential to maintain good relationships.

Lin Xiamo immediately went to Wu Fang's office.

"Secretary Wu, you wanted to see me?"

"Okay, let's sit down and talk."

Wu Fang pointed to the sofa in the reception area. She was a middle-aged woman in her early forties with neat short hair, wearing a brown suit skirt and a pair of black leather shoes with mid-heeled shoes.

"Secretary Wu, is there any work to be assigned?"

After taking her seat, Lin Xiamo asked directly.

"It's not work."

"Take a look at this video first."

Wu Fang didn't beat around the bush and handed her phone to Lin Xiamo. The video playing on it was the same one that Feng Sicong had just shown to Shen Qiushan.

Lin Xiamo frowned. Actually, when she came, she had wondered if it was this.

Shen Qiushan sent her a WeChat message saying that his band singing might be exposed.

Therefore, she wasn't entirely unprepared.

"it's me."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xiamo nodded gently.

At this point, there's no point in being stubborn; the video has already reached Wu Fang, which means it's been widely circulated.

Seeing that Lin Xiamo admitted it so readily, Wu Fang immediately took the phone back, frowned and said, "Secretary Lin, as far as I know, you shouldn't be short of money."

"So singing is just a hobby?"

Lin Xiamo nodded and replied truthfully, "I had a band when I was in college. After graduation, the band disbanded for a while, but we got back together and occasionally go out to sing."

"This is my personal hobby, and also a way to relax after work!"

Wu Fang nodded, then frowned and said, "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a big deal, because our school doesn't interfere with faculty and staff having part-time jobs outside of school."

"However, the location of your part-time job, as well as your attire and performance style, have caused quite a bit of controversy online. Just now, Principal Zhu called to inquire about the situation."

"Based on my experience, the school will most likely not allow this to happen again. Principal Zhu or other leaders will likely have a talk with you..."

Wu Fang's words were quite sincere, because she still admired Lin Xiamo, even setting aside their relationship with Lin Moxuan.

In her eyes, Lin Xiamo was also a good partner and a good subordinate.

Since joining the company, Lin Xiamo has taken on a lot of work for her, and Lin Xiamo has completed all the tasks assigned to her very well.

Therefore, even after this incident, Wu Fang's first thought was to understand the situation and then figure out how to solve the problem.

"If this matter causes trouble for the school or damages its reputation, I will take responsibility!"

Lin Xiamo made a solemn statement.

Wu Fang smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Principal Zhu is just letting me understand the situation first."

"It's not time to talk about taking responsibility yet!"

"Actually, I don't think this is a big deal, but I'm worried that public opinion will escalate and put pressure on the school..."

"When the time comes, there will have to be an explanation!"

Lin Xiamo knew that what Secretary Wu said was true and that he had no intention of harming her.

"Secretary Lin, I understand the situation."

"You go back and get busy."

"By the way, you can also check out the videos and discussions about this on Kuaishou."

After understanding the situation, Wu Fang gave Lin Xiamo a few words of advice and then let her leave.

I returned to my office.

Lin Xiamo immediately opened Kuaiyin (a Chinese audio streaming platform), searched for keywords, and several videos of her performances in bars or livehouses popped up.

Among these videos, the one with the best data has already received 150,000 likes and more than 20,000 comments!

Looking at the various videos on Kuaiyin, Lin Xiamo's brows furrowed into a knot. She hadn't expected that her casual singing would attract so much attention.

Among these video bloggers, Lin Xiamo also saw a familiar ID: reporter Wang Zhixin!

Lin Xiamo clearly remembered that this reporter named Wang Zhixin had been relentlessly criticizing Shen Qiushan and Sanjiang High School.

Later, Shen Qiushan became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but he also suffered a backlash from the attention he received, with a large group of netizens chasing after him and cursing him.

After Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award, even more people criticized him.

For the past few days, Wang Zhixin's Kuaiyin account has not been updated. Unexpectedly, when he updated it again, he didn't talk about Shen Qiushan anymore, but instead criticized Lin Xiamo, and his words were very sharp.

"As a university teacher, he completely disregarded the professional ethics of teachers, his personal image, and even more so the image of the school!"

"How should we deal with students who eagerly imitate this and take pride in it?"

"If all university teachers are like this, how can they educate students?"
