Chapter 157, Money Must Be Spended! (Additional update by the leader of "Cucumber Nougat"①)

Shen Qiushan raised his head and looked at Zhu Wenxuan in confusion.

He didn't expect that he would be criticized by Professor Zhu in his first class in college.

For a moment, the eyes of the whole class fell on Shen Qiushan.

Among the freshmen of Sanjiang University this year, Shen Qiushan is definitely the most famous one, and his every move attracts much attention!

But Zhu Wenxuan's sudden attack at this moment surprised everyone.

Secretly playing with mobile phones during class is a very normal thing in college. When encountering such a situation, teachers will generally turn a blind eye and are too lazy to do it!

After all, college and high school are two completely different systems, and in college almost no teachers will worry about your grades.

Whether you learn or not is up to you!

Therefore, Zhu Wenxuan’s reaction at this moment was actually a bit abnormal.

Especially since Zhu Wenxuan is an associate professor in the Chinese Department, and the course of College Chinese does not have a very high status in the School of Electronic Information, a science and engineering department.

He came to class just to go through the motions.

As a result, this first class was so serious!

What Shen Qiushan and his students didn’t know was that Zhu Wenxuan, an associate professor in the Chinese Department, also published novels on the Internet in his spare time.

But the results were dismal. He wrote for several years and only earned a few tens of thousands of yuan in total.

Zhu Wenxuan concluded that the readers’ appreciation level was too low and they were unable to reach an ideological resonance with him, an associate professor of the Chinese Department!

For this reason, after seeing the news that Shen Qiushan earned tens of millions in royalties from a novel about a scumbag, Zhu Wenxuan naturally felt extremely unbalanced!

I am also very unconvinced!

He read Shen Qiushan's novel carefully and strongly agreed with the views of Wang Zhixin and others.

Vulgar!

Three incorrect views!

Sensational!

Compared with his works that are rich in content and profound in thought, there is a huge gap!

Of course, this is just Professor Zhu’s subjective judgment.

Because the seeds of prejudice had already been planted in his heart, when Zhu Wenxuan saw Shen Qiushan "wandering off" during class.

His first reaction was that the other party looked down on him, an associate professor of the Chinese Department, because he had earned tens of millions in royalties from writing online novels!

Only then did he decide to give the other party a good warning. He earned tens of millions in royalties by writing vulgar online novels. What was there to be proud of?

Shen Qiushan certainly didn't know what Zhu Wenxuan was thinking, but emotions couldn't lie. Judging from Zhu Wenxuan's reaction, the other party seemed to have some prejudice against him, or even hostility.

Shen Qiushan was not like the other eighteen or nineteen-year-old kids sitting in the classroom who were easily intimidated by the teacher.

He is a veteran who has lived for almost 40 years. What kind of people has he not seen?

Especially since he had always been working in the service industry, whether in catering, as a taxi driver, or as a food delivery man.

He deals with all kinds of people, so he can still tell whether the other party has good intentions or bad intentions.

At the moment, Professor Zhu's attitude is obviously wrong.

Then, Shen Qiushan certainly would not let him control him.

He first said apologetically, "Teacher Zhu, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have taken out my phone in class."

"However, there is indeed a special situation today."

"The publishing house informed me that my work won the Nebula Award."

"The school also informed me that a reporter was coming to interview me..."

Shen Qiushan spoke in a calm tone, neither humble nor arrogant.

However, the news conveyed was earth-shattering!

As an associate professor in the Chinese Department, Zhu Wenxuan certainly knows the value of the Nebula Award.

He was stunned for a moment, then a little shocked, and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure it's the Nebula Award?"

"Well, this is the news I got!"

Shen Qiushan nodded solemnly.

And listened to the conversation between the two.

There was a sudden commotion in the classroom.

"What is the Nebula Award? Is it awesome?"

"This is awesome! The world's top science fiction award!"

"World's top? Isn't that the top literary award that Teacher Zhu mentioned just now?"

"But Lao Shen's book can't be considered a science fiction novel, right?"

“…”

Everyone was talking about it.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Wenxuan slapped the desk hard and said, "Shut up!"

"Quiet!"

When the classroom quieted down, Zhu Wenxuan looked at Shen Qiushan again and said with a stern face: "Are you sure you got the Nebula Award?"

"If this is true, you don't have to attend my class anymore!"

"Not only will I not record your absence, I will also give you full marks at the end of the semester!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiushan immediately smiled: “Then thank you, Teacher Zhu.”

"Don't you understand the premise of what I said?"

Zhu Wenxuan's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

That’s the Nebula Award!

If I remember correctly, no one in China has ever won it!

Therefore, he didn't believe what Shen Qiushan said at all.

It’s not that easy to win the Nebula Award!

Besides, you are just an internet writer who writes vulgar online novels.

Do you really think of yourself as a writer?

Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

As it was a hot summer day, the classroom door was open.

I saw a pretty figure standing at the door of the classroom without knowing when.

All the boys in the class stretched their necks at once...

"It's Secretary Lin!"

"This beauty and figure are simply amazing!"

"She is worthy of being the most beautiful girl in our school!"

"It's a pity that Secretary Lin doesn't teach, otherwise every class would be full!"

Zhu Wenxuan looked at Lin Xiamo and asked doubtfully, "Secretary Lin, is there something wrong?"

“Professor Zhu, I’m looking for Shen Qiushan.”

Lin Xiamo directly stated her purpose.

"Looking for Shen Qiushan?"

"Is there something that requires taking up class time?"

Zhu Wenxuan frowned subconsciously. Due to the unpleasantness just now, he didn't want to turn on the green light.

"It's a reporter from CCTV who wants to interview him."

"Principal Zhao is currently receiving the other party."

Lin Xiamo didn't know what happened in the classroom, she just explained the situation truthfully.

"What?"

"An interview with a CCTV reporter?"

Zhu Wenxuan was completely stunned.

As an associate professor of the Chinese Department, he has also accepted some interviews, but they were basically from local TV stations or some magazines and newspapers with low circulation.

And being interviewed by CCTV reporters must have definitely meant that he had done something earth-shattering!

"Shen Qiushan's work "The Three-Body Civilization" won the Nebula Award!"

"He also became the first writer in our country to win the Nebula Award, so CCTV wanted to interview him."

Lin Xiamo explained further.

"this……"

“It’s actually true!”

Zhu Wenxuan was completely dumbfounded. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he had criticized the other party a few minutes ago and even brought up the top international literary awards!

But the result was a slap in the face at the speed of light!

Shen Qiushan actually won a top international literary award!

"Teacher Zhu, it's not nice to make a CCTV reporter wait for a whole class."

At this time, Lin Xiamo spoke politely again.

"Well, that's not good indeed!"

Zhu Wenxuan nodded awkwardly, then looked at Shen Qiushan again and waved his hand depressedly: “You go.”

"Okay, thank you Teacher Zhu!"

"Then see you next semester!"

Shen Qiushan chuckled and strode out of the classroom with the textbook in his arms.

When he heard the words "See you next semester", the corners of Zhu Wenxuan's mouth twitched violently again.

What he said just now was just an angry remark, because he concluded that Shen Qiushan would not be able to win the Nebula Award!

The result was that “his words came true”!

He actually won a prize.

There was an uproar in the classroom.

"Oh my god, Old Shen is so awesome! He actually won the Nebula Award!"

"Is this true? It feels like a dream!"

"CCTV reporters are here, so it must be true!"

"Hey, I'll ask for an autograph later, maybe it will appreciate in value in the future!"

Bao Beibei, a young master from Shanghai, rubbed his chubby face and whispered to Feng Sicong beside him: "Acong, my father-in-law is a little too strong!"

Feng Sicong rolled his eyes in response: "Shen Yanran hasn't even looked at you straight in the eye, let alone father-in-law!"

"Give up on this idea!"

Bao Beibei shook her head: "What do you know? That's because Yanran hasn't discovered my good points yet!"

In the corridor.

As he walked, Shen Qiushan sighed, "The CCTV reporters arrived too quickly!"

"I just found out about the award, and they're all here!"

Lin Xiamo explained: "The Nebula Award was announced early this morning, but this award has nothing to do with domestic writers every year, so the attention it receives is very low."

"There is a certain delay in our receiving the news, but CCTV should have known it immediately!"

"Besides, they have resident reporters in Sanjiang Province, so it is very convenient for them to come and interview."

Shen Qiushan nodded gently and muttered quietly: "I wonder if there is any prize money for the Nebula Award?"

"The foreigners' awards and bonuses should also be paid by them. It would be a waste if we don't take advantage of them!"

“Of course there’s a bonus!”

“It should be $1 million!”

"The Nebula Awards Organizing Committee should contact you later."

Lin Xiamo had checked it out immediately and found that the prize money for the Nebula Award was still very high.

When Shen Qiushan heard that there was a prize of 1 million US dollars to be won, he was naturally very excited. This was another way to "launder money"!

Ten million film and television copyrights.

Million dollar prize.

The number on the surface alone is already approaching 20 million.

So comfortable!

Shen Qiushan decided to take some time to look at houses and finalize the purchase of the mansion.

The money in a bank card is just a string of cold numbers.

Only when it becomes a physical object can its value be reflected!

So now that you have money, of course you have to spend it!

“Are you free this weekend?”

Shen Qiushan looked at Lin Xiamo beside him.

"What's up?"

Lin Xiamo did not respond directly, but asked a question in return.

“I want to buy a house.”

"If you have time, come with me and give me some advice!"

Shen Qiushan said with a smile on his face.

"Looking at a house?"

Lin Xiamo glanced at Shen Qiushan, and couldn't help but think of the experience of the two of them sleeping in the same bed last night.

First there was the birthday surprise in the trunk.

He also gave her a valuable watch worth nearly a million.

Now you want to take me to see the house again?

Although this man didn't say anything, his intentions seemed to be becoming more and more obvious...
