Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 223 - 159: Served at the Table!

Lin Jiayu chuckled, "I wanted to experience the sensation of something this big..."

Just as Lin Jiayu made this "wicked" request, Xu Pipa’s roommates Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui walked into the dorm.

In the four-person dorm, Xu Pipa and Han Tongtong got along well, while Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui were closer to each other.

There were no classes this afternoon, and Han Tongtong went to another university to hang out with her high school friends.

Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui didn’t isolate Xu Pipa; she returned to the dorm first because she received a WeChat message from Lin Jiayu.

At this moment, the two were back from having eaten at the canteen.

"Pipa, Jiayu, why are you guys still in the dorm?"

"CCTV has come to interview Uncle Shen!"

"They’re right at the second canteen now!"

Zhang Xue said as she entered the dorm.

"What?!"

"CCTV has come to interview my brother-in-law?" Lin Jiayu was shocked; she really didn’t know this news.

Of course, Xu Pipa was also unaware, so when she heard this news, she was as astonished as Lin Jiayu.

"They said it’s for the ’Focus Person’ program."

"This show seems quite famous, and a few students eating in the canteen were also interviewed randomly."

"But there were just too many people; I couldn’t get through. Otherwise, I wanted to try my luck too!"

"That’s CCTV! I’d love to show my face!"

Zhang Xue explained while expressing her feelings.

Ma Sihui chimed in, "Jiayu, aren’t you going to join the fun?"

"Secretary Lin from the Youth League Committee is there too!"

The relationship between Lin Jiayu and Lin Xiamo was not a secret, at least not to the people in Xu Pipa’s dorm.

This was one of the reasons why, even though Zhang Xue and Ma Sihui somewhat looked down on Xu Pipa as a poor student, they were still friendly and warm on the surface.

Xu Pipa had a "strong background."

With the backing of Lin Jiayu as her senior and a close relationship with Shen Qiushan, the most outstanding freshman, who knows, maybe someday in the future, they might need her help for a good opportunity in school.

"Pipa, after eating, let’s go check it out too!"

Lin Jiayu was instantly interested.

After all, it was a CCTV interview; she was quite curious.

"Yeah, yeah."

Xu Pipa nodded repeatedly, if it were for any other excitement, she could let it pass.

But when it involves Shen Qiushan, she definitely wants to check it out.

On the internet.

The news about Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award was overwhelming.

This news shocked the entire literary circle!

After all, this award broke the monopoly of foreign authors on the Nebula Award, achieving a breakthrough from zero!

It’s the first time a domestic science fiction novel has reached the international stage!

With so many buffs stacked up, this is not just a simple award; on a larger scale, it could be seen as a successful cultural export.

It could even be said to be a source of national pride!

The discussion of the event was very high online.

Countless netizens exclaimed how awesome it was!

But what left the netizens frustrated was that Shen Qiushan’s award-winning book was unavailable for purchase!

"Can someone tell me where I can buy ’Three-Body Civilization’?"

"Seriously, it won the Nebula Award, and the book isn’t even published yet?"

"Unbelievable, can’t find the book online!"

"I wanted to support Old Shen, but I couldn’t buy the book."

"For those wanting to support Old Shen, just subscribe to his previous book on Penguin Novels!"

As the event’s popularity surged.

More and more netizens clamored to buy the book.

At two in the afternoon.

The domestic largest book website "Dingding Network" directly placed a prominent ad on its homepage, promoting the presale of "Three-Body Civilization."

The book is divided into three volumes.

Each volume is priced at 29.8 yuan!

The complete three-volume set is 79.8 yuan!

Which means buying all three saves about 10 yuan!

Almost simultaneously, Jingxi Book City, Kuaiyin Book City, Pinduoduo Book City, and other e-commerce platforms also started the presale of "Three-Body Civilization."

With the opening of presales on various platforms, the presale volume continuously surged as netizens engaged in wild spending to support Shen Qiushan!

At Huawen Publishing House.

Chen Min spent the entire day working on the launch and sale of "Three-Body Civilization."

Due to Zhou Gang deliberately causing a lot of problems earlier, the publishing progress of "Three-Body Civilization" was not smooth.

Most of Chen Min’s energy today was spent on "filling in potholes."

She cursed Zhou Gang in her heart while filling those potholes!

If it weren’t for his meddling, Chen Min would have had a much lighter workload today.

By four in the afternoon.

Within two hours of the presale of "Three-Body Civilization," the cumulative presale volume across platforms broke through 100,000 copies!

When the news returned to Huawen Publishing House, everyone was utterly shocked by the sales figures!

It can only be said, the power of the internet is immense!

Under the blessing of immense traffic, "Three-Body Civilization" exploded in sales!

Everyone was curious, wondering what kind of book could make foreigners willingly bestow such a prestigious award upon a writer from Hua Country.

Both Chen Min and Huawen Publishing House had no intention of creating an artificial shortage in the market.

But the market was so hot it directly created the feeling of a shortage! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Chief Editor Chen, your vision is truly remarkable! I can’t help but be impressed!"

"If it weren’t for you, our publishing house might have missed such a blockbuster book!"

"I know the printing plant quite well; let me go and keep an eye on things!"

Zhou Gang’s advantage is knowing how to adapt to the situation.

Seeing the tide turning, he quickly altered his strategy; as for the position of chief editor, he’ll just have to wait for the right time!

Sanjiang City Hall.

After a busy day, Lin Moxuan was finally about to get off work.

He glanced at the time on his watch; 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 impact of this matter was much greater than he expected.

He continuously had his secretary Chen Xiaohua keep an eye on the development of this matter.

Picking up the phone on his desk, he called Chen Xiaohua into his office.

"How’s the situation I asked you to follow?"

Once Chen Xiaohua arrived, Lin Moxuan immediately asked.

"Director Lin, it’s almost all positive online. Netizens are all praising your son-in-law!"

"They’re saying he single-handedly brought domestic science fiction novels to an international standard!"

"Some are even calling him the number one in domestic sci-fi!"

Chen Xiaohua reported the situation honestly as he had observed it.

"That’s quite high praise."

Lin Moxuan gently raised his eyebrows, his ideal situation was for this matter to pass quickly.

Otherwise, from what he knows about Shen Qiushan, this guy’s ego might just skyrocket!

"Not only is the praise high, but the netizens are also supporting him with their wallets!"

Chen Xiaohua continued, "Within two hours of the presale of ’Three-Body Civilization,’ sales have already exceeded 100,000 copies, directly breaking the sales record for domestic sci-fi novels!"

"Oh, and Director Lin, CCTV’s ’Focus Person’ program team went to Sanjiang University immediately; they must be planning a feature on Shen Qiushan!"

CCTV?

’Focus Person’?

Upon hearing this news, Lin Moxuan was incredibly shocked, his eyes widened significantly.

Having spent a lifetime within the system, he understands the significance of CCTV more than ordinary people.

It’s a national medium!

Every word, every sentence, conveys its own meaning.

No program is broadcast without careful consideration, and now the program team is interviewing Shen Qiushan!

This essentially serves as an official endorsement!

In the future, if anyone dares to defame Shen Qiushan, they better weigh their own worth first!

After all, he’s got the central media’s approval!

"Director Lin, your son-in-law is truly impressive!"

"People always say a tiger father has no dog sons, and it really seems so, with Shen Qiushan becoming your son-in-law, even winning the Nebula Award!"

Chen Xiaohua knew how to hold a conversation; it seemed like he was praising Shen Qiushan, but in reality, he was subtly flattering Lin Moxuan.

He attributed the success of Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award entirely to Lin Moxuan!

After hearing the secretary’s words, Lin Moxuan just gently shook his head. He could distinguish between flattery and straightforward truth!

Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award had nothing to do with him.

But now the issue is that Shen Qiushan winning the Nebula Award means there’s a greater chance he might "steal away the family’s treasure"!

And that’s a darn tricky situation!
