Chapter 83, Hateful Red Rose! (A long chapter)

"What nonsense!"

"You must be so angry!"

Chen Qingzhu glared at his wife speechlessly, then pointed at the TV screen: "Keep listening and see what Qiu Shan has to say."

“Nonsense!”

"You're talking nonsense!"

Lin Moxuan used the baseball bat in his hand as a crutch and placed it against the ground, staring at the TV screen. At this moment, the interview with Shen Qiushan had come to an end. He said to the camera with confidence: An old horse in the stable still has a thousand miles to go; a martyr in his twilight years still has great ambitions!

Prime Minister Cao was 53 years old when he wrote "The Turtle's Longevity", but he still had such ambition.

And I'm only 38!

It’s not too much to get into Sanjiang University!

The interview with Shen Qiushan ended here, followed by Zhou Ruolin's summary speech.

Lin Moxuan angrily cursed: "He even borrowed Cao Cao's poem. How can he compare with Cao Cao!"

"Don't always look at Akiyama with tinted glasses. I think this speech is quite good and it hits the spot."

After so many years, Chen Qingzhu's opinion of his son-in-law Shen Qiushan has changed.

Firstly, he raised his two children very well. Although their academic performance was average, both children had positive outlooks, optimistic and cheerful personalities, and were relatively sensible.

Secondly, Shen Qiushan has not remarried for all these years, which is actually a very difficult thing for a man.

Some of the men who lost their wives even remarried within a few months.

As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.

To a large extent, Shen Qiushan did not remarry, which was also a form of protection for his two children.

In comparison, it doesn’t really matter whether there are women outside or not.

It would be a bit too much to expect a young man who became a widower at the age of 20 to remain a virgin.

Another point is that Shen Qiushan did not stop the child from interacting with their family, nor did he instill any bad ideas about the grandparents' side into the child when he was young.

Overall, this son-in-law is a good person and has a sense of responsibility.

It's just that after all these years of hard work, there hasn't been any great achievement.

But isn’t that the case with most ordinary people?

Live a mediocre and ordinary life.

After all, only a very small number of people can truly succeed.

"Everyone can brag!"

"Besides, he is good at this, otherwise how could he trick Chuxue into his hands!"

"Also, you said you want to take the college entrance exam, but you also want to take Sanjiang University?"

"Who gave him the courage?"

"You're just asking for trouble!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Momo will be implicated after public opinion rises."

"Wang Guangqing is such a smart old man. He actually pushed Momo to the front in this matter!"

"You really thought that I would not be able to deal with him now that I am about to retire, right?"

"Call Momo and ask her to come back quickly!"

Lin Moxuan spoke rapidly, but Chen Qingzhu was very calm: "If you want to call, call yourself. There is one more dish and we will eat."

After saying that, Chen Qingzhu went to the kitchen to continue working.

No surprise.

After this interview on "News Front" was broadcast, it immediately sparked a heated discussion.

Sanjiang Life Channel is a local station, and its coverage area is limited to Sanjiang City and some surrounding districts and counties.

However, the Kuaiyin account of "News Frontline" is aimed at netizens across the country. After the program was broadcast, the interview was made into several short videos and posted on the Kuaiyin account.

As a news program on a local TV station, "News Frontline" has a total of only 210,000 fans, and its influence is actually not that great.

However, the contents of these videos are quite explosive, and coupled with the appearance of a beautiful principal named Lin Xiamo, who is known for her beauty, the popularity of the videos began to rise steadily.

There was a video of Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo being interviewed, and the number of views quickly exceeded 500,000.

Don’t underestimate the 500,000 views, which is already considered a primary popular video.

The Kuaiyin account of "News Frontline" posts many news videos every day. The number of views is as low as a few thousand, and those with more than 100,000 are considered to be at a good level.

However, the video of Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo being interviewed quickly exceeded 500,000 views, indicating that this video has broken through the initial traffic pool and has been pushed into a larger traffic pool.

If the video data performs well, the exposure will continue to increase and be seen by more people.

At this moment, there are more than 4,000 comments under the video, more than half of which are mocking Shen Qiushan, and a small number of them are sighing at Lin Xiamo's beauty!

"Going to college at 38, what a joke!"

"Sanjiang University? You must have eaten garlic. You are so arrogant!"

“Someone at @Sanjiang University is looking down on you!”

"You guys are really insane. You're paying attention to that old Deng when Principal Lin is here!"

"That's right, Principal Lin is right! Everything Principal Lin said is right!!"

"Lao Deng, if you can get into Sanjiang University, I will stand on my head and eat shit!"

"What's the big deal about you eating shit while standing upside down? If this old Deng can really get into Sanjiang University, I will eat shit every day for the next year!"

"In order to watch you two eat shit, I decided to support Lao Shen! @Sanjiang University, please, please recruit me!"

"For those who don't know, Sanjiang University has long been ranked in the top ten in the country, or even in the top five! Sometimes it even ranked third!"

“…”

As the video became more and more popular, many news media followed suit and reposted it, allowing more netizens to see the news.

Sanjiang Senior High School.

When the interview segment of "News Frontline" was broadcast, the students had already started their evening self-study.

Therefore, Shen Qiushan had no idea that the program was being broadcast, nor did he know that he had received considerable attention on the Internet. He was still immersed in reading books as usual.

But the senior year office was already in an uproar, as it was time for the third evening self-study get out of class to end.

The teachers on the night shift all returned to the office. Sun Xing was the first to see the video posted by the "News Front" Kuaiyin account. He immediately shared the video with the WeChat group of senior year teachers.

After watching it, a group of teachers couldn't help but start talking about it.

"I came to interview you at noon, but I didn't expect it to be broadcast so soon. Lao Shen has become an Internet celebrity now!"

"What kind of internet celebrity is this? Didn't you see that everyone on the internet is scolding him?"

"However, Principal Lin is really angry. Everyone says that she is right!"

"This video has received tens of thousands of likes. Not only has Principal Lin become famous, but our school has become famous too!"

"I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but our school has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion!"

The teachers were talking about it.

Chen Xiangyu silently flipped through the comments under the video. After seeing that almost half of the netizens were criticizing Chen Qiushan, her expression became increasingly ugly.

Of course she knew about the interview, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big public outcry.

Now that Shen Qiushan has boasted about his achievements, if he fails to get into Sanjiang University, he will be drowned in spit.

In the locker room of a bar.

It is called a dressing room, but it is actually just a storage room where resident singers can take a temporary rest or change clothes.

Lin Xiamo had just changed out of her performance clothes after the performance, and her exaggerated pink wig was also taken off.

Hu Tingting, who was scrolling through her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "Momo, look, you're famous!"

“Fuck, this video has so many comments, it’s going to explode!”

Hearing her exclamation, the other two band members, Fang Di and Zhu Xinyue, also came over curiously.

While removing her makeup, Lin Xiamo calmly asked, "Is it that interview?"

"Yeah, you know?"

"I never heard you mention it."

Hu Tingting asked doubtfully.

"It was a pretty boring interview. Lao Wang pushed me out to take the blame."

How could Lin Xiamo, such a smart person, not understand Wang Guangqing's actions?

But to her, this was really not a big deal. She didn't take it to heart at all. It was just a 38-year-old transfer student.

There is no crime involved, and the education system has no explicit regulations that prohibit 38-year-old students from studying on a temporary basis.

Therefore, no matter how this matter is discussed, Lin Xiamo is not afraid.

As for Shen Qiushan’s remarks, they will probably cause some controversy, but ultimately it is not a legal or moral issue.

At most, he was just bragging in front of the media!

As long as he is thick-skinned enough and has a good enough attitude.

There will be no problem.

And a good attitude and thick skin are exactly the strengths of this unreliable brother-in-law of mine!

So, netizens can discuss however they want!

It has nothing to do with her.

"Momo, you are so calm!"

"Netizens all say that you are right!"

"It's a pity that Principal Lin and Red Rose cannot be the same person, otherwise our band would be able to reap the benefits."

Hu Tingting sighed.

"Who said that Principal Lin and Red Rose can't be the same person?"

Lin Xiamo's tone suddenly became serious: "Principal Lin and Red Rose are the same person!"

"One day I'll let everyone know!"

After hearing her words, the three teammates looked at her in surprise.

"Momo, aren't you afraid that your dad will find out?"

"When did I say I was scared?"

Lin Xiamo raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "I'm not telling him now, just because I haven't achieved any results."

"He has been an official for so many years, and he is a person who only values ​​performance. If he doesn't have any achievements to show for it, then he's fine."

"In his eyes, we are just idlers who are wasting our time on trivial things!"

"One day, if we can stand on a very big stage, I will definitely invite him to watch our performance!"

As soon as Lin Xiamo finished speaking, her cell phone rang.

It was dad Lin Moxuan.

"Speak of the devil and he will appear!"

Lin Xiamo shook her phone and said, "I'm leaving first."

She picked up the suitcase containing her performance clothes and makeup bag, walked out of the bar through the back door, and waited until she got into the car and everything around her was quiet before she called her father back.

"Momo, where are you? Why don't you answer so many calls?"

"I was having dinner with a friend outside. I left my phone in the car. I'm going home now."

Lin Xiamo explained briefly.

"Then we'll talk about it when we get back. Drive safely!"

Lin Moxuan gave some instructions and hung up the phone.

However, Lin Xiamo took a deep breath, for she knew that it would be another tough battle after she returned home.

Ever since her elder sister passed away, her father's desire for control has become stronger and stronger, for he is afraid that she and her younger sister will be "kidnapped" again, or make some unwise choices.

Return home.

Dad Lin Moxuan and mother Chen Qingzhu were both sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It's already past ten o'clock, and under normal circumstances, the two of them would have gone to bed long ago.

Right now, it looks like a three-court trial.

Of course, Lin Xiamo knew that her mother Chen Qingzhu was just pretending to cooperate, and would even speak for her at critical moments.

"Did you help Shen Qiushan to study at Sanjiang Senior High School?"

As soon as Lin Xiamo entered the house, her father Lin Moxuan's interrogation began.

"It's none of my business."

"I only found out he was studying there on a loan basis after I arrived at the school."

Lin Xiamo told the truth.

"How could it have nothing to do with you?"

"He must have begged you for help, right?"

In Lin Moxuan's opinion, if it weren't for the help of his daughter, the vice principal, how could Shen Qiushan convince the school leaders.

"It really has nothing to do with me."

"He was already there when I went to report. If you don't believe me, you can ask Principal Wang!"

"I'll call him tomorrow."

Lin Moxuan did not call Wang Guangqing after get off work to avoid people thinking that he was abusing his power for personal gain.

It will be different when he goes to work tomorrow. He is the leader of the Education Bureau. Such big news has happened in the education system. It is reasonable for him as a leader to ask about it.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Lin Moxuan skipped the previous topic first.

"You don't want to hear his name!"

Lin Xiamo explained that her father had indeed told her more than once not to mention Chen Qiushan in front of him.

"That's not a big deal!"

"He goes to school as a part-time student. Who will earn money to support the family?"

"How about Xiaoxiao and Yanran's living expenses and tuition fees?"

"Where will I pay for tuition and living expenses when I go to college?"

"If this isn't nonsense, then what is this! He even made such outrageous remarks in front of the reporters, saying that he wanted to apply to Sanjiang University!"

"Now, the internet is full of ridicule, and even your school is being ridiculed!"

Lin Moxuan's eyes widened. If Shen Qiushan was in front of him, he would definitely scold him.

"Momo, you really should have told us about such a big thing."

"Xiaoxiao and Yanran are also members of our family after all!"

Chen Qingzhu echoed this, and then added: "We can afford Xiaoxiao and Yanran's college tuition, but Qiushan is so old, so don't join in the fun."

"Work hard, there will be plenty of money for our two children to spend when they get married!"

After listening to the two people's speeches, Lin Xiamo spread her hands helplessly: "You should say this to Shen Qiushan in person."

"It's impossible for me to make any decisions for him."

"Besides, I'm not his sister. Even if I make a decision, he won't listen to me!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll go wash up."

After saying that, Lin Xiamo prepared to flee the battlefield.

However, Lin Moxuan stopped her again and said with a sullen face: "Stay away from him when you are in school!"

"Don't be fooled by his sweet words!"

"knew……"

Lin Xiamo said perfunctorily and then hurried back to her room.

After closing the door, she let out a long sigh.

Although my father's "interrogation" ability has become weaker than before in the past two years, the sense of oppression is still there, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Lin Xiamo's bedroom is a suite of about 40 square meters. In addition to a separate toilet, bathroom, and cloakroom, there is also a balcony leading directly to the yard on the first floor.

Lin Xiamo placed a lounge chair on the balcony, where she could lie in the sun during the day and look at the stars at night.

After changing into pajamas, she did not wash up immediately, but started reading a novel on the recliner.

Ever since she learned at noon that Shen Qiushan was writing a novel, she started reading the book "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn". Almost all of her fragmented time today was spent reading this novel.

In fact, this book has only been serialized for 200,000 words. If you are an old bookworm who reads online novels all day long, you would have finished it long ago.

But it was the first time that Lin Xiamo read an online novel seriously, so she read much more slowly, especially because the readers' comments were very interesting. She would click on them and take a look.

This makes the speed even slower.

At this moment, there was finally some time when no one would disturb her, and Lin Xiamo quickly immersed herself in the plot of the novel...

I don’t know how long I watched it, but the words “To be continued” suddenly appeared on the phone screen.

No more?

Lin Xiamo was stunned for a moment, feeling as if something was stolen from her heart, leaving her feeling empty.

How wonderful it is to be young!

Damn Chen Gou!!

Lin Xiamo cursed silently in her heart. There was no novel content to read, so she looked through the comments section again.

The battle between Xiaoyuer Party and Youchu Party has not yet ended.

The two sides argued endlessly.

Give rewards to your favorite characters!

Lin Xiamo now understood why both parties wanted to reward each other. They were trying to increase the star value of their characters.

Everyone wants their favorite character to surpass the other one.

And now the star value of "Xiao Rongyu" is about 18,000 higher than that of "Chen Youchu"!

Lin Xiamo frowned subconsciously. Her favorite character turned out to be backward.

By reading the comments, she has roughly understood how to accumulate star points.

The most direct way is to give gifts to the characters.

The first time you give a gift of 10 points, you will get 2 Star Points added. Every subsequent gift of 10 points will get 1 Star Point added.

And now the person she likes, Shen Youchu, is about 18,000 points behind. If it is the first time to send a gift, she needs to send a gift worth 100,000 Penguin Coins to overtake.

That is, a leader!

1000 yuan!

The money I give as a tip will eventually become Xiaoxiao and Yanran’s tuition and living expenses.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiamo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately recharged her account with 1,000 Penguin Coins, and then gave the reward to her favorite "Chen Youchu"!

A line of small words [Red Roses 19 Rewards for the Alliance Leader] immediately floated over the cartoon picture that symbolized the character.

Since it was the first time to send a gift, the character’s star value increased by 20,000 points at once.

Overtake in an instant!

Seeing that her favorite character's star value exceeded that of the other party, Lin Xiamo's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gratified smile.

At the same time.

In the girls' dormitory of Sanjiang University.

Lin Jiayu is chatting with like-minded book friends in the [Little Fish Guardian Group].

A message suddenly appeared on the phone screen: Damn! The tower was stolen! They have a new leader!

Along with this message, there is also a screenshot.

In the picture you can see the words "Red Roses 19 Rewards for the Leader".

"Another wild leader, directly adding 20,000 Star Glory Points!"

"It must be the small account registered by that Orange!"

“@芋泥啵啵喵喵盟, are you still going to take action?”

"Forget it, the Meow Alliance already has three leaders."

The group instantly fell into chaos.

Lin Jiayu, who was originally in a good mood, also frowned.

"Where did the red roses come from?"

“How annoying!!”

Lin Jiayu couldn't help but silently complain in her heart, then she opened her WeChat wallet, and after seeing the balance in it, she sighed silently.

Right now, the only money left in WeChat is money for food!

She opened the familiar Penguin Reading app again, clicked on the page of her favorite character, and saw that her Star Value had really been surpassed. The unwillingness and loss in her heart instantly made her want to make money again.

No, we can’t lose!

Returning to WeChat, Lin Jiayu's slender fingers lingered on her sister and mother's WeChat avatars for a while, and finally clicked on her mother's avatar:

Dear mother, can you give me the New Year's money?

The custom in Sanjiang is that as long as you are not married, you will receive New Year's money.

Lin Jiayu receives a considerable amount of New Year's money every year, but she gives it to her mother for safekeeping and saves it together to use as a dowry when she gets married.

And now, she decided to embezzle her own dowry first!
