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

Chapter 236, Genius Old Shen (Bonus Chapter)
During the phone call between Zhu Qidong and Secretary Su Yaohui just now, the other party specifically mentioned Shen Qiushan's name.

His status as a top scorer at the age of 38 already garnered much attention. Later, he won the Nebula Award and became a famous writer, which can be considered as bringing glory to Sanjiang University!
But recently, this famous writer has been playing with "abstraction," first writing songs, and then even participating in a variety show like "Voice of China."

It also sparked a heated discussion online, with many netizens attacking Sanjiang University and saying that the university should take better care of the situation.

Su Yaohui was just discussing with Zhu Qidong whether they should talk to Shen Qiushan. It would indeed give people the impression that a famous writer and a top student from Sanjiang University would be "not doing his job properly" by participating in a variety show.

However, this is a private matter after all, and the school is not in a position to interfere. They are even worried that saying too much might cause Shen Qiushan to become rebellious.

This older top scorer is now a star student at Sanjiang University, a remarkable individual who qualified for the "Outstanding Alumni Group" as a freshman.

Therefore, when Su Yaohui discussed with Zhu Qidong, he only decided to first understand Shen Qiushan's thoughts and indirectly express the school's meaning, mainly by adopting a mild attitude.

But before they could even talk to Shen Qiushan, the other party pulled another big stunt.

According to Zhao Ruihai, Shen Qiushan had once again made a great contribution to winning the "Special Prize," which Zhu Qidong found somewhat unbelievable.

Is Shen Qiushan really that important in this project?

The fact that a writer is also so accomplished in scientific research is somewhat surprising to Zhu Qidong.

"it is true."

"Shen Qiushan played a crucial role!"

Zhao Ruihai is an honest man. If it were anyone else, as the person in charge of the project, they would have taken all the credit for themselves.

However, he upheld the spirit of seeking truth from facts and did not seek credit.

"Okay, then I understand."

Zhu Qidong nodded: "Your team should get ready to go to Beijing in a week for the awards ceremony."

The competition organizing committee announces the winning teams every year before holding an awards ceremony. The awards ceremony is just one part of the process. The winning teams are invited to visit some of the top research institutes in China and have the opportunity to listen to lectures by experts in related fields.

For Zhao Ruihai, however, what he looks forward to most is communicating with the top experts in the industry.

at the same time.

Shen Qiushan was writing furiously in the examination room.

It's quite absurd, really. Just yesterday he was shining on the stage of "Voice of China," and today he's back in the exam hall with a pen in hand.

However, that's how the department arranged it: final exams were held for three consecutive days, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and then winter break would begin.

Shen Qiushan will also be finishing his first semester of university.

Compared to his roommates who were scratching their heads in frustration, Shen Qiushan answered the questions very smoothly. Well, what can you do when you have a cheat code?

The content from class and books was already etched into his mind, so the exam was no challenge for him.

He finished the test in half an hour.

Just as he was about to ask the proctor if he could hand in his paper directly, Zhao Ruihai appeared at the entrance of the examination room.

The proctor was a female teacher in her thirties. When she saw Zhao Hairui at the door, she quickly came out of the classroom: "Professor Zhao, is there something you need?"

"Find Shen Qiushan and tell him to take the exam first!"

"I'll wait in the hallway."

Zhao Ruihai clapped his hands at the female teacher.

"okay."

The female teacher responded and returned to the classroom, then subconsciously glanced at Shen Qiushan. To her surprise, Shen Qiushan stood up with his test paper in hand: "Teacher, I've finished answering the questions. Can I hand in my paper now?"

"what?"

The female teacher was shocked: "You're done answering already?"

She naturally knew about Shen Qiushan long ago, but she was not one of his teachers and had never interacted with him.

Today marked the first time they had crossed paths, and she was truly amazed. Shen Qiushan finished the exam in half an hour, which was supposed to be a two-hour test.

She initially thought Shen Qiushan had hastily handed in his paper because he heard Zhao Ruihai was looking for him, but she was dumbfounded when she received the paper Shen Qiushan had submitted.

Not a single question on the entire test paper was left blank. She glanced at a few questions at random, and Shen Qiushan's answers were exactly the same as the correct answers in her mind.

No wonder he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination at the age of 38!

Great!

The female teacher sighed inwardly, then subconsciously glanced down the corridor, only to find that Shen Qiushan and Zhao Ruihai had already walked far away.

"Xiao Shen, our team won the grand prize in this competition. We're going to Beijing next week for a series of award-giving events. Do you have time?"

"Everyone's on winter break next week, no problem."

"By the way, what's the prize for the grand prize?"

Shen Qiushan was not surprised at all by winning the award, as he had brought out the "laser weapon" that the system had rewarded him with.

However, the PPT presented as a reward by the system was divided into three parts. Shen Qiushan only used the first part to test the waters, wanting to see how valuable the laser weapon rewarded by the system was through this competition.

Based on past experience, the items rewarded by the system are usually very useful. Shen Qiushan just wanted to see what the experts thought of these items.

The current feedback is "Special Prize," which indicates that experts in the relevant field highly value this product.

So, now that all the items have been taken out, shouldn't we give them a reward?

We can't just settle for an "award certificate".

"There are rewards, of course, but the grand prize isn't awarded every year, so the reward isn't fixed. It depends on how the organizing committee evaluates it. However, based on past experience, the prize money will definitely be substantial!"

Zhao Ruihai was surprised to find that Shen Qiushan was most concerned about the bonus.

"Xiao Shen, to be honest, I didn't take this competition seriously before, and I only glanced at your project. But after hearing the news of your award, I looked at the PPT more carefully, and you completed the second half all by yourself?"

Zhao Ruihai asked curiously again.

"Yup!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded: "I asked for your opinion at the time, and then you told me that I could do whatever I wanted."

"I just gave it a little improvisation!"

After hearing Shen Qiushan's words, Zhao Ruihai's lips twitched involuntarily. You call winning the "Special Prize" a "small performance"?

Zhao Ruihai had taught at top universities like Sanjiang University for many years and had seen some so-called "geniuses," but those geniuses were far too mediocre compared to Shen Qiushan.

Just as Zhao Ruihai was silently reflecting, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket. The caller ID read: Principal's Office.

It's obviously Zhu Qidong again!
"Professor Zhao, someone from above has arrived."

"Summon Shen Qiushan to the conference room and tell him you have something important to discuss!"
