Chapter 159, It’s on the table! (Subscribe)
"I see!"
Park Jung-jae smiled and said, "It seems I still have to attend this welcome party!"
As an Olympic champion, he is also a freshman in this session.
Park Jung-jae had received an invitation to the welcome party a long time ago, but he felt that his singing was just average and didn't really want to perform on stage.
But now the situation has changed. Since Lin Xiamo likes singing, he will try to please her.
Girls dormitory.
Since they lived upstairs and downstairs, Lin Jiayu often brought packed meals to Xu Pipa's dormitory to look for the little mushroom-headed boy.
She did this entirely out of good intentions, because she knew Xu Piwa was relatively introverted and had a special family situation, and she was worried that she would be bullied in the dormitory.
Therefore, Lin Jiayu, as a senior and a social leader, would often come to her dormitory to check out Xu Piwa's situation in a timely manner.
In fact, this could be considered a "task" assigned to her by Shen Qiushan. Since both of them were in medical school and lived very close to each other, Shen Qiushan asked Lin Jiayu to take care of the little mushroom head.
Lin Jiayu finished class early today, so she bought lunch in advance, thinking about chatting with Xu Piwa about her feelings on the first day of class.
As a result, the news about Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award went viral on the Internet, and the topic of their conversation naturally shifted to Shen Qiushan's award.
"Loquat, have you read that book?"
"I had never heard my brother-in-law mention it before, but suddenly he won a big prize. I was really curious about what the book was about."
Lin Jiayu said as she opened the lunch box.
"I haven't seen it either."
Xu Loquat shook her head. In fact, she was as curious as Lin Jiayu.
She was also very shocked by the news. During the summer vacation, she had the idea of writing online novels to make money, and she has been scanning the charts and reading books since then.
To this day, she has already written the beginning of her novel, and she had thought that she could follow in Uncle Shen’s footsteps.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award without saying a word!
Now I can’t even see its shadow, how can I talk about catching up!
However, Xu Loquat was still happy for Shen Qiushan. She sincerely hoped that Uncle Shen would get better and better.
“How mysterious!”
"I'll call my brother-in-law in a minute to see if I can get the draft over."
After saying that, Lin Jiayu began to eat his meal in big mouthfuls.
For a foodie like her, nothing can make her happier than eating.
After showing off two big mouthfuls of meat, Lin Jiayu showed a satisfied expression on her face. She turned her head and asked Xu Pipa: "Pipa, how do you feel about the first day of class?"
“It’s pretty good!”
"It's a different feeling from high school!" Xu Loquat quite enjoys the atmosphere of university classes.
Lin Jiayu nodded slightly, but the next moment her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed at Xu Loquat in disbelief: "Uh, Loquat, you..."
Lin Jiayu opened his mouth, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
"Sister Jiayu, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Loquat looked at Lin Jiayu with a puzzled look.
“Loquat!”
"Do you have to be so exaggerated?"
Lin Jiayu took a deep breath and pointed at the "two giant beasts" placed on the desk.
The stool was a bit low, so Xu Loquat hunched his body slightly while eating.
Then, Naina came to the table!!
Xu Loquat didn't pay much attention to this detail at all, because similar situations often occurred when she was alone.
It was even a bit distressing for her!
Too big.
uncomfortable.
It’s a burden!!
And this has always been Lin Jiayu's weakness, although she is not born poor like A.
But they are not that rich, just average!
Therefore, Lin Jiayu often eats things like papaya and pig's trotters, which are said to have the effect of helping people grow.
But so far, Lin Jiayu has not seen any actual results.
So when she saw her grandma with a little mushroom head easily get to the table, she was naturally shocked and envious.
“Too heavy…”
“It will be much easier if you have a fulcrum.”
Xu Loquat explained in a low voice.
It would have been fine if she didn't explain. As soon as she said this, Lin Jiayu became even more depressed. She tried to move her body forward, but she couldn't achieve the same effect as Xu Loquat.
"Loquat, what do you usually like to eat?"
Lin Jiayu asked curiously.
"Well……"
Xu Loquat thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "It seems that there is nothing I particularly like."
"Isn't there any food that you particularly like?"
Lin Jiayu asked.
She felt that there must be some explanation for a girl as petite as Xu Piwa to have such talent.
For example, she often eats a certain kind of food!
“No.”
Xu Loquat shook his head again. Ever since his grandmother passed away, it has been very difficult to have a full meal at every meal, so it is impossible to even talk about what he likes to eat.
If I have to say what I like.
That must be meat!
Because there are fewer opportunities to eat it.
That is to say, during the two months of the final sprint for the college entrance examination, she could only eat meat every day!
That was because of Shen Qiushan.
"Oh, this is a gift!"
Lin Jiayu sighed softly, feeling extremely envious.
After finishing the meal, she subconsciously glanced at Xu Loquat and said with a smile: "Loquat, let me make it clear in advance that I am not a pervert!"
"Then, will you let me touch it?"
"ah??"
Xu Loquat's face suddenly turned red. She never expected that Lin Jiayu would make such a request.
"I'm just simply curious."
Lin Jiayu chuckled: "I want to experience the feel of something of this scale..."
Just when Lin Jiayu made this "evil" request, Xu Piwa's roommates Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui walked into the dormitory together.
In the four-person dormitory, Xu Piwa and Han Tongtong get along better, while Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui are closer.
Han Tongtong had no classes this afternoon, so she went to another university to play with her high school classmates.
Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui did not isolate Xu Piwa. She returned to the dormitory first because she received a WeChat message from Lin Jiayu.
At this moment, the two of them were returning from the cafeteria after having lunch.
"Pipa, Senior Jiayu, why are you still in the dormitory?"
“There are reporters from CCTV who are here to interview Uncle Shen!”
"They are all in the second cafeteria now!"
Zhang Xue walked into the dormitory and spoke.
"What!"
"A reporter from CCTV came to interview my brother-in-law?" Lin Jiayu was shocked. She really didn't know this news.
Xu Loquat naturally didn't know either, so after hearing the news, she was as shocked as Lin Jiayu.
"They said it was the program team of 'Focus Person'."
"This program seems to be quite famous. Several students who were eating in the cafeteria were also randomly interviewed."
"It's just that there are too many people and I can't squeeze in. Otherwise, I would like to try my luck!"
"That's CCTV! I really want to show my face!"
Zhang Xue explained and expressed her feelings at the same time.
Ma Sihui followed up and said, "Senior Jiayu, aren't you going to join in the fun?"
"Secretary Lin from the Youth League Committee is here too!"
The relationship between Lin Jiayu and Lin Xiamo was no secret, at least everyone in Xu Piwa's dormitory knew about it.
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui, although they look down on Xu Piwa, a poor student, in their hearts, appear to be warm and kind on the surface.
Xu Loquat’s “background” is too powerful.
He has the care of senior Lin Jiayu, and also has a close relationship with the most outstanding freshman Shen Qiushan!
Maybe if they want to have good development in school in the future, they will have to ask her for help.
"Loquat, after dinner, let's go take a look!"
Lin Jiayu immediately became interested.
After all, it was an interview with CCTV, so she was still very curious.
"Uh-huh."
Xu Loquat nodded repeatedly, it would be fine if it was some other lively thing.
As for the excitement in Shen Qiushan, she still wanted to join in.
On the Internet.
The news about Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award has been overwhelming.
And this news also shocked the entire literary circle!
After all, this award broke the monopoly of foreign writers on the Nebula Award and achieved a breakthrough from zero!
For the first time, domestic science fiction novels have gone abroad!
Since there are so many stacked buffs, this matter is no longer just about winning an award. In a broader sense, this may be a successful cultural output.
It can also be said that it has brought glory to the country!!
The incident has been widely discussed on the Internet.
Millions of netizens exclaimed, “Awesome!”
But what shocked netizens was that Shen Qiushan’s award-winning book was not available for purchase!
"Can anyone tell me where I can buy The Three-Body Civilization?"
"No, you've already won the Nebula Award, but your book hasn't been published yet?"
"Without the Dapu, I can't even find this book online!"
"I wanted to support Mr. Shen, but I found out that I couldn't buy the book."
"For those who want to support Lao Shen, just go to Penguin Novels and subscribe to his last book!"
As the incident becomes more and more heated.
More and more netizens are clamoring to buy books.
At two o'clock in the afternoon.
DingTalk, the largest book website in China, directly placed a promotional advertisement for the start of pre-sales for "The Three-Body Civilization" in the most prominent position on its homepage.
The book is divided into three volumes.
29.8 yuan per book!
The complete three-volume collection is only 79.8 yuan!
In other words, buying all three books together will save you about 10 yuan!
At almost the same time, e-commerce platforms such as Jingxi Bookstore, Kuaiyin Bookstore, and Pinxixi Bookstore also started pre-sales of "The Three-Body Civilization".
With the start of pre-sales on major platforms, pre-sale sales are also rising steadily, and netizens have launched a wave of wild consumption to support Shen Qiushan!
Chinese Publishing House.
Chen Min was busy all day long preparing for the launch and sales of "The Three-Body Civilization".
Because Zhou Gang had deliberately set a lot of traps for her before, the publication of "The Three-Body Civilization" did not go smoothly.
So today Chen Min spent most of his energy on "filling the holes".
While filling the hole, she cursed Zhou Gang in her heart!
If he hadn't interfered, Chen Min's workload today would actually be much smaller.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Two hours after the pre-sale of "The Three-Body Civilization" started, the cumulative pre-sale sales across all platforms exceeded 100,000 copies!
When the news got back to the Chinese Publishing House, everyone was shocked and horrified by the sales volume!
I can only say that the power of the Internet is too great!
With the support of massive traffic, "The Three-Body Civilization" was an instant hit!
Everyone is very curious about what kind of book it is that can make foreigners willingly give such a big award to a Chinese writer.
Neither Chen Min nor the Chinese Publishing House have any intention of engaging in hunger marketing.
But the market is so hot that it feels like hunger marketing!
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, you really have a keen eye for talent! I can't help but admit it!"
"If it weren't for you, our publishing house might have missed out on such a big hit!"
"I'm more familiar with the printing factory, I'll go over and keep an eye on it!"
Zhou Gang’s advantage is that he knows how to adapt to the times.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he quickly changed his strategy. As for the position of editor-in-chief, he would have to wait and see!
Sanjiang City Hall Building.
After a busy day, Lin Moxuan is finally getting off work.
He checked his watch and saw that there were still 15 minutes left.
Lin Moxuan couldn't help but think of his son-in-law Shen Qiushan, who won the Nebula Award. The social response to this incident was much greater than he had imagined.
He has also asked his secretary Chen Xiaohua to keep an eye on the development of this matter.
He picked up the phone on the desk and called Chen Xiaohua to his office.
"How's that thing I asked you to focus on?"
After Chen Xiaohua arrived, Lin Moxuan immediately asked.
"Director Lin, there are almost only positive comments online. Netizens are praising your son-in-law!"
"It is said that he single-handedly brought domestic science fiction to an international level!"
“Some people say he is the number one science fiction writer in the country!”
Chen Xiaohua truthfully reported the situation he knew.
“It’s a high enough rating.”
Lin Moxuan raised his eyebrows slightly. The ideal situation in his mind was that this matter would be over as soon as possible.
Otherwise, based on his understanding of Shen Qiushan, this guy would be so proud of himself!
“Not only are the reviews high, but netizens are also supporting us with real money!”
Chen Xiaohua continued, "In the two hours since the pre-sale of The Three-Body Civilization started, sales have exceeded 100,000 copies, directly breaking the sales record of domestic science fiction novels!"
"By the way, Director Lin, the CCTV program team of "Focus Person" went to Sanjiang University as soon as possible. They should be planning to do a program targeting Shen Qiushan!"
CCTV?
"Person in Focus"?
Lin Moxuan was so shocked when he heard the news that his eyes widened.
Having worked in the system for his entire life, he understands the value of CCTV better than ordinary people.
That’s the national media!
Every sentence and every word has a meaning to convey.
No program is broadcast just to fill in the gaps. Now, the program team actually went to interview Shen Qiushan!
This is considered official endorsement!
If anyone dares to slander Shen Qiushan again in the future, they must consider their own abilities!
After all, he has been recognized by the central bank!
"Director Lin, your son-in-law is really amazing!"
"People say that a good father will have a good son. It's true. Shen Qiushan has become your son-in-law and even won the Nebula Award!"
Chen Xiaohua was good at chatting. He seemed to be praising Shen Qiushan, but in fact he was flattering him in a subtle way.
He attributed all the credit for Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award to Lin Moxuan!
After listening to the secretary's words, Lin Moxuan shook his head slightly. He could still distinguish between flattery and truth!
Shen Qiushan's winning of the Nebula Award had nothing to do with him.
But the problem now is that Shen Qiushan, who won the Nebula Award, has a higher possibility of kidnapping his own cabbage!
This is fucked up!
