Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student Chapter 213 - 155: Director Lin, Your Son-in-law Won an Awar
"Rather, I’m asking about your relationship with Shen Qiushan. Jiayu didn’t go to your birthday party, so why would he go??"
On the way, Lin Moxuan had already called his youngest daughter, Lin Jiayu, only to find out she didn’t even know about her sister’s birthday party.
The younger sister didn’t attend the birthday party, yet Shen Qiushan, an "outsider," went. If there’s nothing going on here, Lin Moxuan wouldn’t believe it.
And Lin Moxuan’s line of thinking was evidently correct; Lin Xiamo was directly stumped by the question.
Indeed, the question was difficult to answer, but Lin Xiamo, having been in the system for several years, quickly changed her thinking. After a brief pause, she imdiately explained, "Jiayu is a student, so it’s inappropriate for her to attend a birthday gathering, especially since it went late into the night and she couldn’t skip dorm."
Lin Xiamo’s explanation seed reasonable, but her earlier hesitation had already confird Lin Moxuan’s suspicion.
Even if nothing happened between the two last night, the relationship between his "second cabbage" and Shen Qiushan probably had already changed!
Reaching this conclusion, the impact of Shen Qiushan sending those Little Blue Bottles was naturally greatly diminished.
Lin Moxuan frowned and angrily cursed, "What’s so good about that Shen Qiushan boy!"
"Let tell you, Momo, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let him ruin my daughter again!"
"Your Aunt Wang introduced another young man to you; tonight, you’re going ho for a blind date!"
And with that, Lin Moxuan didn’t wait for Lin Xiamo to respond and walked away angrily.
"Momo, your dad is also thinking for your own good."
"Rember to co ho tonight."
Chen Qingzhu patted her daughter’s arm and hurried to catch up with her old man.
"Mom, slow down~"
Lin Xiamo advised helplessly.
anwhile, she was pondering her dad Lin Moxuan’s soul-searching question: What’s the deal between her and Shen Qiushan??
Before last night, the "crossing the line" in their relationship had only been at the ntal level.
But now, the "crossing the line" had progressed from the ntal level to the physical level!
Although there wasn’t a aningful "transformation" last night, the fact is they slept in the sa bed, Shen Qiushan had undressed, and she was in an "upper bare" state.
In the middle of last night, in her sleep, she seed to feel a hand exploring her chest.
Lin Xiamo initially thought it was a dream, but reconsidering now, she feels it might not have been a dream...
So, Shen Qiushan was lying!
He definitely took advantage!
And verifying her suspicion shouldn’t be too hard.
Check fingerprints!
Start by collecting fingerprints from herself, then compare them with Shen Qiushan’s fingerprints.
Lin Xiamo was a graduate from Sanjiang University, so fingerprint collection wasn’t difficult for her!
Humph!
Did you touch or not?
I want to see whether it’s true or false!!
City Hall Courtyard.
Lin Moxuan got out of the car with a dark face.
On the road, the more he thought, the angrier he got.
One daughter wasn’t enough, now his second daughter also seed to be getting involved!
Did Shen Qiushan save our family’s life in a past life?
Is our whole family being milked?
Lin Moxuan cursed inwardly, and just then, a man of similar age chased from behind, "Old Lin, congratulations!"
"Congratulations?"
"What’s there to be happy about!"
Lin Moxuan looked suspiciously at the man.
This man was Yu Qifeng, the director of the cultural bureau. They had known each other for decades, awkwardly considered friends.
"Your son-in-law won an award!"
"The Nebula Award!"
"That’s amazing!!"
Yu Qifeng said with a full smile.
"Son-in-law?"
"What son-in-law!"
Right now, hearing the word "son-in-law" gives Lin Moxuan a headache.
"Shen Qiushan!"
"Isn’t he your son-in-law!"
Yu Qifeng replied.
"Hmm."
Actually, upon hearing Yu Qifeng say son-in-law, Shen Qiushan’s image imdiately ca to Lin Moxuan’s mind, but right now he didn’t want to ntion Shen Qiushan at all.
ntioning him just depresses him!!
What son-in-law!
Clearly here to collect debts!
"What award did he win?"
Lin Moxuan frowned and asked.
"Nebula Award!"
"The most influential international science fiction award!"
"This year’s Nebula Award announcent ceremony was held at 2 am over in the United States!"
"Your son-in-law snagged both the Nebula Award for [Best Science Fiction Novel] and [Best New Science Fiction Writer]!"
"He directly filled our country’s gap in this award..."
Yu Qifeng spoke gleefully, as if he had been the one to win it.
"Nebula Award?"
"Is it really as impressive as you say???"
Lin Moxuan wasn’t too familiar with foreign literary awards, and hearing Yu Qifeng’s grand description, he was suddenly bewildered.
"Of course, it’s impressive!"
"It’s like this, the Nebula Award is the highest award in the field of science fiction novels!"
"In the past, it was monopolized by foreign writers, no writer from our country has ever won any award!"
"So your son-in-law, single-handedly, has directly elevated our country’s science fiction novels to an unprecedented height!"
"Plus, the foreigners value this award greatly, so your son-in-law is going to finally make it big. Without a doubt, the award-winning novel will definitely sell like crazy!!"
Yu Qifeng spoke non-stop.
Shen Qiushan winning the award genuinely delighted him.
On one hand, it indeed brought glory to the country!
On the other hand, Shen Qiushan is a writer from Sanjiang City, so the cultural system there naturally benefits too.
Moreover, if handled properly, the follow-up to Shen Qiushan’s award could contribute to Yu Qifeng’s "political achievents"!
Therefore, upon receiving this news, he was already considering the next moves.
"No way!"
"It’s not the sa na, is it!"
Listening to Yu Qifeng’s explanation, Lin Moxuan beca more confused. If it was just so fake award, he wouldn’t care, perhaps randomly given.
But according to Yu Qifeng, this is an internationally recognized award, not one given casually.
"The book he wrote is an online novel, totally unrelated to science fiction, how could it win an award?"
Lin Moxuan asked the pressing question on his mind.
That was the reason he thought it was unlikely.
"It’s not that online novel."
Yu Qifeng waved his hand, saying, "The award-winning work is called ’Three-Body Civilization’!"
"I haven’t read it yet, but just by the na it’s completely unrelated to the online novel he wrote!"
"’Three-Body Civilization’?"
Lin Moxuan thought for a mont and then decisively said, "That must not be him; I’ve never heard him ntion writing such a book!"
"It has to be a mistake!"
Lin Moxuan’s mindset was delicate at this point; he hoped it was truly Shen Qiushan, yet wished he wasn’t too prominent.
So far, he’s just written a decently known online novel, already earned millions in royalties, and has the tendency to steal away his daughter Lin Xiamo. If he had another work win an international award, wouldn’t the likelihood of losing his second cabbage be even greater?
"If you’re unsure, why not call and ask to confirm!"
Yu Qifeng’s news was firsthand and reliably sourced, so he was very certain.
But since Lin Moxuan didn’t believe him, he suggested he verify it himself.
And hearing Yu Qifeng’s advice, Lin Moxuan imdiately took out his phone. Instead of calling Shen Qiushan directly, he dialed his daughter, Lin Xiamo.
"Old Lin, you take your ti asking, I’m off to set up so work!"
Seeing Lin Moxuan taking out his phone, Yu Qifeng gave a nod and briskly walked into the City Hall building.
"Momo, I need to ask you sothing."
"Has that Shen Qiushan boy written a new book recently?"
Once the call connected, Lin Moxuan imdiately asked.
"He wrote one, but didn’t publish it online."
"What’s the title of the book??"
"I think it’s called ’Three-Body Civilization’."
Upon hearing the book title from his daughter, Lin Moxuan was completely bewildered.
The first thought that popped into his mind: It’s over, the second cabbage is really hard to keep!
