Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 234 - 163: The Disguise Falls, Lin Xiamo’s Crisis

Chapter 234: Chapter 163: The Disguise Falls, Lin Xiamo’s Crisis

"Yes!"

"Absolutely!"

The female salesperson nodded repeatedly.

Nowadays, the real estate industry is sluggish, and house prices have been consistently dropping. With such a high total house price, discussing a discount is certainly possible.

Right now, real estate companies aren’t afraid of low prices, they’re afraid they can’t sell the houses.

However, Director Lin, standing to the side, suddenly widened his eyes: Just like that, he’s buying it?

A house costing over 17 million!

How come it seems like he’s buying a cabbage instead?

"Mr. Shen, let’s head back to the sales office to talk!"

"We’ll make sure the price is satisfactory for you."

The female salesperson’s face was all smiles. Selling a property over 17 million means she’ll earn quite a commission.

The group returned to the sales center, and on the way, Lin Moxuan called Shen Qiushan to the back: "Qiushan, aren’t you being a bit too hasty?"

"It’s not easy for you to make money, plus income from writing isn’t stable. Who knows if there will be any income later on? Spending all your money on a house isn’t worth it."

Lin Moxuan felt that Shen Qiushan was getting carried away, having made some money and not knowing how to spend it wisely.

"Dad, I’ve made much more than what’s reported in the media."

"You don’t need to worry about my future income. This house price is still within my affordable range."

Shen Qiushan explained earnestly.

"Alright, it’s your money, your decision."

"But don’t forget about Xiaoxiao and Yanran! Especially Xiaoxiao, he’s a boy, there’s so much he’ll need money for in the future!"

Lin Moxuan reminded him once more, then didn’t say anything further.

Back at the sales center.

The four of them were directly invited into the VIP lounge.

Before officially discussing the price, tea, snacks, and fruit were spread out on the coffee table.

The female salesperson also called in her direct superior, Manager Liu, who was in charge of sales.

"Are you Teacher Shen, who just won the Nebula Award?"

Manager Liu actually recognized Shen Qiushan at a glance.

"I wouldn’t dare call myself a teacher."

Shen Qiushan humbly waved his hand, surprised to be recognized here.

"Teacher Shen, you’re too humble, you’ve won the Nebula Award!"

"Forget calling you a teacher, calling you a master wouldn’t be too much!"

This Manager Liu was certainly qualified to lead the sales department; he was good at conversation and could read the room well. Upon learning about Shen Qiushan’s identity as a "famous writer," he proactively offered a 9.2% discount and rounded off another 100,000.

The house price went from 17.5 million to 16 million, saving 1.5 million directly!

"Teacher Shen, you’re a famous writer who has brought honor to the country; otherwise, there’s no way I could offer such a big discount. I can show you the actual transaction prices here..."

Regardless of the truth, this Manager Liu gave enough credit to Shen Qiushan as a "famous writer," as if without this identity, such a discount wouldn’t be possible.

Finally, both parties happily reached an agreement.

Shen Qiushan purchased the luxurious house worth 16 million in full!

In the following week.

Shen Qiushan spent almost all of his leisure time dealing with the aftermath of "The Three-Body Civilization" winning the award.

Nebula Award committee staff specially flew to Sanjiang for an award ceremony. In addition to the trophy and certificate, the most important thing, of course, was the prize check!

The reason the Nebula Award committee people flew to Hua Country specifically, besides the award ceremony, was more importantly to secure the overseas distribution rights and film rights for "The Three-Body Civilization." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After negotiations.

Shen Qiushan eventually only signed a contract for overseas distribution rights agency with them.

Because currently, the price they offered for the film rights was too low, only 5 million dollars!

And Shen Qiushan wasn’t in a hurry to use this money at the moment. His idea was to wait until the book was fully released, then consider its actual sales and reader feedback.

If sales explode and reader feedback is excellent,

million dollars could potentially be multiplied several times over!

You know, even a web novel like "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate" sold its film rights for 10 million!

Not to mention, "The Three-Body Civilization," which won the Nebula Award and is hard sci-fi!

Therefore, there’s no rush to sell the film rights; let the situation develop a bit first.

Monday morning.

The course for Class 1 of the Electrical Department was Electromagnetic Field and Wireless Technology.

By the time Shen Qiushan arrived in the classroom, over half the students were already there, and since the semester had been going for some time, most students had gotten to know each other.

Especially in Class 1 of the Electrical Department, which was almost an all-male class, making it easier to become familiar with each other. When Shen Qiushan walked into the classroom, the boys were gathered in groups of three to five, animatedly discussing some explosive topic.

Seeing Shen Qiushan come in, his roommate Feng Sicong quickly waved at him: "Old Shen, come take a look at this video!"

"Everyone’s saying this person is Secretary Lin. You’re so familiar with her; what do you think?"

Feng Sicong shoved his phone in front of Shen Qiushan. The video was shot in the background of a certain bar.

On stage, a female band was performing, and the lead singer was tall and curvaceous. She wore a white spaghetti strap top layered with a vintage short denim jacket, paired with high-waisted wide-leg pants and thick-soled Martin boots adorned with shiny studs.

She had short pink hair, the color matching her lipstick and nail polish, exuding allure and style in every move!

"Absolutely Secretary Lin!"

"Some netizens have already dug up other videos for comparison, and the mole here on the collarbone is quite obvious, can’t be faked."

Before Shen Qiushan could speak, Bao Beibei chimed in from the side.

Shen Qiushan shook his head: "It shouldn’t be."

"It’s just that they look somewhat similar!"
