Chapter 179: Chapter 133: One Word—Awesome!

Liu Qingwu’s dormitory is 506, separated from Shen Qiushan’s 505 by just one wall.

For Shen Qiushan, putting up curtains was a piece of cake, taking less than ten minutes to complete.

“Old Shen, thank you!”

As Shen Qiushan got down from the stool, Liu Qingwu immediately handed him a bottle of mineral water.

“Teacher Liu, you’re too kind.”

“If you need any help in the future, just call me. I’m right next door anyway.”

Shen Qiushan took the mineral water, drank a sip, and then took the opportunity to glance around Liu Qingwu’s room.

Actually, when the school first allocated the dormitories, the furniture and appliances inside were all the same.

But most of these dormitories had gone through several owners, and the furniture had almost all been replaced.

The previous owner of Liu Qingwu’s dormitory should be a female teacher; the sofa and coffee table were of the “looks good, but isn’t practical” type, flashy and flamboyant.

“Old Shen, your faculty dormitory was specially approved by the school, right?”

Liu Qingwu asked curiously.

Counting from her undergraduate years, this was her seventh year at Sanjiang University, and she had never heard of a student living in a faculty dormitory.

She stayed because she got an internship opportunity at the school and only then qualified to move in.

“Yes, specially approved by Principal Liu.”

“It’s one of the conditions for me coming to Sanjiang University.”

There was nothing to hide about this, so Shen Qiushan answered truthfully.

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

Liu Qingwu cheered like a little fangirl, then gave a thumbs-up.

“By the way, Old Shen, let’s add each other on WeChat.”

“Then I’ll pull you into the class group.”

Liu Qingwu continued.

Shen Qiushan nodded and added WeChat friends with this young counselor.

[Little Liu Can’t Wake Up (Intern Version)]

Upon seeing Liu Qingwu’s WeChat nickname, Shen Qiushan couldn’t help but recall the netizens’ summarized list of flirty girl names.

Among them was the format name [So-and-So Can’t Wake Up].

Shen Qiushan’s former name was [Work Harder, Work Even Harder], as he was then striving and hustling for life.

Now Shen Qiushan had changed his WeChat name to [At Ease].

A man with an advantage and more than a hundred million sitting in his bank account mainly thought about enjoying life.

Therefore, sometimes you can deduce some clues from a person’s WeChat nickname.

However, it’s not absolute.

Liu Qingwu added Shen Qiushan to the WeChat group named [Electronics Class One].

Currently, there were 18 people in the group.

Before Shen Qiushan joined the group, these people were probably chatting about something; as soon as he was pulled in, two messages popped up.

Sun Peng: I don’t care, Director Liu is the prettiest!

Zhou Jianyu: Haha, absolutely!

Sun Peng: A newcomer came, and it’s another man!

Zhou Jianyu: They say the School of Electronic Information is a Monastery; it seems that’s really the case.

In the group, there were 18 people, excluding Liu Qingwu and Liu Guangming, two counselors, meaning there were a total of 16 students.

But at this moment, it seemed that only Sun Peng and Zhou Jianyu were chatting idly in the group.

Shen Qiushan didn’t have the habit of idling in groups, mainly because he had little to talk about with these kids.

Liu Qingwu seemed to have seen the messages in the group and proactively said to Shen Qiushan, “We have a total of 38 people in Electronics Class One, and only 8 girls.”

“Well, Old Shen, you probably don’t care about these things anyway; it’s just that these young guys might care more!”

Hearing this, Shen Qiushan gestured seriously, “Not really, I’m actually planning to have a campus romance!”

“Uh…”

Liu Qingwu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

In her heart, she couldn’t help but silently complain: Brother, you’re already 38!

Campus romance?

Stop joking!

“Just kidding.”

“I’m not interested in kids.”

Seeing Liu Qingwu seemed to take his words seriously, Shen Qiushan quickly corrected himself.

“Actually, it’s not impossible.”

“Nowadays, young girls quite like mature men; Old Shen, your appearance condition is undeniable, maybe some young girl might really like you!”

Liu Qingwu’s words were heartfelt because Shen Qiushan’s external conditions were truly undeniable, even she was a bit tempted.

But hasn’t the Internet said it?

Being older doesn’t necessarily make you a mature man.

The ’mature man’ girls like should be wealthy and stylish!

And Shen Qiushan only fulfills the relatively secondary condition.

If he really can meet both conditions, Liu Qingwu would make a move herself, and wouldn’t leave it to those naive little girls!

Huawen Publishing House.

After returning to her office, Chen Min started to get busy with meetings, manuscript reviews, and soliciting contributions, a whole workflow that took over three hours.

She didn’t even have time for lunch, and when she finally got a moment to rest, Chen Min grabbed a hamburger that had long since cooled, eating it while opening the science fiction novel “Three-Body Civilization” sent to her by Shen Qiushan.

As the chief editor of the publishing house, Chen Min naturally has a strong literary acumen and insight.

The writing of this novel isn’t particularly ornate, yet it’s clear the author has solid writing skills.

But the story left her feeling confused, her brow involuntarily furrowing into a knot.

The hamburger was finished.

Chen Min closed the document on her phone.

Solid writing skills.

But Chen Min felt the story was a bit dull, at least the beginning was.

Just as she was about to give up on the book, someone suddenly knocked on her office door.

“Come in!”

Chen Min put down her phone and instinctively looked towards the door.

A man, around 30 years old, with glasses perched on his nose, walked briskly into the office: “Chief Editor Chen, I finished reading the book you sent me.”

“So, what’s your take?”

Chen Min suddenly remembered that “Three-Body Civilization” wasn’t something she was reviewing herself; on the way back, she had casually forwarded it to her subordinate Zheng Sihai.

Zheng Sihai specializes in science fiction novels, and Chen Min herself isn’t particularly knowledgeable about the genre, so she thought it best to let Zheng Sihai take a look.

Once she got busy, she actually forgot about it.

“One word: amazing!”

“It’s simply a masterpiece!”

Zheng Sihai said excitedly: “Chief Editor Chen, who is this author?”

“As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be such a talented science fiction writer in the country!”

Seeing Zheng Sihai’s reaction, Chen Min was taken aback, as she was about to reject this book.

“Is it really as good as you say?”

Chen Min was skeptical.

“Chief Editor Chen, it seems you haven’t read it yet!”

“I’ve finished all the parts you sent me. The ideas are marvelous, and the settings are brilliant. I’m eager to find out what happens next.”

There was an unmistakable excitement on Zheng Sihai’s face, which as a fellow editor, Chen Min could deeply relate to.

Whenever she encounters a work she feels is truly outstanding, she gets very excited, sometimes even losing sleep over it.

However, as her career has progressed, such feelings have grown increasingly rare.

Because the longer you work in the field, the more excellent works you encounter, raising the threshold for excitement.

After six or seven years in the industry, it’s expected that few works would excite an editor like Zheng Sihai.

Yet the novel sent by Shen Qiushan had achieved this, suggesting it must have something remarkable, though she hadn’t gotten to the exciting parts yet.

“I understand the situation.”

“Let me review it first.”

Chen Min responded calmly; as the leader, she couldn’t tell Zheng Sihai she didn’t understand it or found it uninteresting.

“Chief Editor Chen, you must hurry!”

“If such a brilliant book lands in another publishing house, it would be a loss we cannot afford!”

Zheng Sihai said earnestly.

“Alright, you go ahead and get busy!”

Chen Min waved him off, and after dispatching her subordinate, she reopened the document sent by Shen Qiushan.

With Zheng Sihai’s strong recommendation, even though Chen Min still found it challenging to read, she persevered.

She didn’t know how long it took, but eventually, Chen Min was thoroughly engrossed.

Once immersed in the plot, she found it hard to tear herself away, repeatedly slapping her thigh as she reached the thrilling parts.

The book was exactly as Zheng Sihai had described it.

One word: amazing!

Even Chen Min, who typically doesn’t read science fiction, was completely absorbed in the storyline.

By the time she finished the content sent by Shen Qiushan, it was already past work hours.

Chen Min stretched her body; normally, she would head straight home after work.

But this time, she directly dialed Shen Qiushan’s number.

“Younger Brother Shen, have you had dinner yet?”

“If not, I’d like to invite you to dinner.”

Chen Min issued an invitation outright.

At this time, Shen Qiushan was about to try some food at Sanjiang University’s cafeteria and had already informed two children.

However, Chen Min taking the initiative to invite him was most likely about the book.

Of course, there’s also a chance she was “dazzled” by his Divine Face buff, simply craving his company.

But regardless of the case, Shen Qiushan felt he absolutely must accept the invitation.

So he agreed immediately.
