Chapter 251: Chapter 170: Campus Star Old Shen!

Wang Hai touched his chubby chin and said, “Being able to write such a book and also write a song like ’Red Rose’ is truly remarkable!”

The book was released in the morning.

By the afternoon, the reputation of the ’Three-Body Civilization’ was already fermenting online.

As it is the first domestic work to win the Nebula Award, literary enthusiasts were extremely curious.

Secondly, the author Shen Qiushan is currently in the spotlight with high discussion levels.

His “singing in bars” incident, although somewhat controversial, mostly had a positive impact.

This is understandable: someone who wrote ’Three-Body’ has the singing skills of Eason Chan.

And then, he even went to a bar to sing.

That’s definitely fan-captivating behavior!

Especially those young girls who like the uncle type, they all were completely charmed.

They even spontaneously formed a fan group named “Uncle Shen’s Guard”!

Currently, “Uncle Shen’s Guard” has expanded to 21 groups!

Each group has 2,000 members, meaning the guard squad alone already has 40,000 people.

Terrifying!

And today, almost all the fans in the group are doing one thing.

Showing off their purchase receipts!

“Already bought two sets.”

“Bought three sets, supporting Uncle Shen.”

“Five sets bought!”

“Twenty sets! Go Uncle Shen!”

“Wow, rich lady!”

“Kneeling to the lady who bought twenty sets!”

“…”

With the help of fans, plus the fermentation of good reviews.

The first official day of release for ’Three-Body Civilization’ saw explosive sales.

School auditorium.

The freshman welcome party is today.

And after the freshman welcome party, comes the National Day holiday.

So, for the freshmen, today is a doubly joyous day.

The welcome party starts at 6:30.

They are currently doing the final rehearsal work.

Shen Qiushan was sitting in the front row of the audience seats, and next to him was Lin Xiamo, the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee responsible for the welcome party.

For this party, Lin Xiamo was equivalent to the general director.

Beside them, there were young teachers sent by the Youth League Committee and the student union leaders.

At this moment, several girls were dancing on stage. They were from the school dance club and had specially prepared a girl group dance for the welcome party. The average appearance of these girls was quite good, making the program visually appealing and full of youthful vigor.

Logically, the focus of the crowd below should be on the girls on stage, but many people were consciously or unconsciously glancing at Shen Qiushan.

Because today is the official release day of ’Three-Body Civilization’, and there is already news online saying that the book has sold out.

And yet, Shen Qiushan, the author, still had the mind to participate in the welcome party, surprising everyone.

“Old Shen, could you sign for me?”

The dance on stage ended, and Lin Xiamo stood up, waving to the girl in the center position, then whispered something to her.

At this moment, Liu Qingwu came over to Shen Qiushan with a set of ’Three-Body Civilization’.

She chose a very interesting time.

It had a certain feeling of the mistress sneaking in while the main wife is away.

Recently, Shen Qiushan hadn’t had much contact with Teacher Liu. After all, she wasn’t a lecturer, and as a counselor, she wouldn’t be in the classes unless necessary.

“Does Teacher Liu read sci-fi?”

Shen Qiushan took the book, signing his name on the title page with a smile while asking.

“I don’t usually read it.”

“But your book, of course, I have to read it.”

Liu Qingwu cheekily winked at Shen Qiushan. This pretty intern counselor had been regretting something for the past few days.

That was, when she had the chance to knock down Shen Qiushan, she thought of holding back to build an image of a girl not easily available.

As a result, she inadvertently missed the best “buy-in” time!

In Liu Qingwu’s view, finding a man is similar to buying stocks.

Most men are junk stocks, not worth buying.

A few men are premium stocks, very worth buying, but the problem is that all women know these men are premium stocks, so they’re all vying to buy them, making successful purchase probability very low.

There’s also a group of men who are potential stocks. Many women are eyeing these potential stocks, but since they haven’t become premium stocks, most women remain in a wait-and-see state.

Previously, in Liu Qingwu’s eyes, Shen Qiushan was a potential stock that might rise to premium stock.

She initially wanted to watch and wait for the right opportunity, but never expected that Shen Qiushan, this potential stock, “ascended” too quickly.

In less than a month, he transformed from a potential stock to a premium stock.

Every time she thought of this, Liu Qingwu regretted it immensely. During the first days when Shen Qiushan started school, they had frequent interactions and there were plenty of opportunities.

At that time, Shen Qiushan hadn’t won the Nebula Award, nor was he a famous writer.

If comparing with a stock market curve, buying in at that time was at a low point, and the chance of successful purchase was higher.

Now it’s all too late.

Shen Qiushan has already become a premium stock.

Not only has he reached a high point, but trying to buy in now also has a very low success rate.

But of course, Liu Qingwu didn’t want to miss out on someone like Shen Qiushan, an ideal stock, even if his relationship with Lin Xiamo was ambiguous.

As long as they’re not married yet, she feels she has a chance.

Even if they get married, it’s not entirely hopeless.

Sometimes, chances after marriage might even be bigger.

People are always fond of the new and tired of the old.

Especially men.

Even if one marries a fairy, over time, there’s boredom.

That’s why, in many exposed improper relationships, the mistresses’ appearances often aren’t as good as the originals.

Because to married men, wildflowers are always more fragrant than home flowers!

So Liu Qingwu felt, as long as she didn’t give up, she still had chances later.

“Old Shen, could you sign one for me too?”

With Liu Qingwu leading the way, a young female teacher from the Youth League Committee also came over with a set of ’Three-Body Civilization’.

Although Sanjiang University is a top domestic institution, its strongest disciplines are in science and engineering, rarely producing talents for the literary and entertainment circles.

There have been very few noted writers like Shen Qiushan from Sanjiang University since its establishment, and none have reached Shen Qiushan’s level.

After all, Shen Qiushan is the first writer in China to win the Nebula Award, and just this alone, he trumps other writers.

Based on such a background, Shen Qiushan, the great writer, is still highly sought after in the school.

Of course, his fame is part of it.

Shen Qiushan’s appearance and figure are additional perks, especially after the recent bar singing incident, which garnered many fans for him at school.

“Old Shen, can I take a picture with you?”

“Old Shen, I really like you, I’ve read ’I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate’ three times already.”

“Teacher Shen, could I also get an autograph, just sign it on my shirt…”

Just now, with Lin Xiamo, the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee sitting next to Shen Qiushan, others dared not make a move.

Now that Lin Xiamo went to the front to talk about work, everyone switched to fan-chasing mode and quickly surrounded Shen Qiushan.

When Lin Xiamo finished talking with the girl and was ready to return to her seat, she found Shen Qiushan already surrounded by a group of female students and female teachers.

Lin Xiamo frowned slightly. Of course, she had been following the online discussions, and Shen Qiushan had been immensely popular recently.

Countless young girls liked him, which inevitably made Lin Xiamo feel a bit insecure.

Lin Xiamo was very confident in her appearance and figure, but her age disadvantage was unchangeable.

No matter how beautiful she was, she was already 31 this year, while among the young girls who liked Shen Qiushan, there were many who were just 18 or 19!

As that piercing famous quote goes: no woman can be 18 forever, but there will always be 18-year-old girls!

“Old Shen, it’s our turn to rehearse.”

Lin Xiamo slightly adjusted her state, speaking to Shen Qiushan who was surrounded by the crowd.

To show their support for Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo, the school specifically notified Lin Xiamo that it would be best for both of them to also perform during the freshman welcome party.

This is the strongest counter to those critical voices online!

You all keep barking!

We at Sanjiang University will not only not punish Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo, but we will even encourage them to perform at the welcome party.

Therefore, the program featuring Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo became the most anticipated segment of the welcome party for the students!
