Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 214 - 156: Fermentation!

"Dad, why are you asking about this?"

Lin Xiamo asked curiously.

Knowing her father, he wouldn’t usually show interest in Shen Qiushan’s situation if he was angry, unless something unexpected happened.

"Old Yu from the Cultural Bureau said he won some sort of Nebula Award, and it’s a foreign award!"

"I have to say, those foreigners’ taste in appreciating literature needs some improvement!"

"A guy who writes online novels can even win a foreign award; these foreigners must really be inexperienced!"

Lin Moxuan sneered, trying to appear dismissive of the award, hoping to pass this subjective feeling to his daughter.

To prevent Lin Xiamo from adding another layer of "literary genius" filter because of Shen Qiushan’s award.

As a result, upon hearing that Shen Qiushan had actually won the Nebula Award, Lin Xiamo quickly hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Lin Moxuan’s mouth twitched unconsciously, feeling that the second "cabbage" in the family was completely out of his grasp!

No, tonight this matchmaking needs to be more assertive!

Huawen Publishing House.

Chen Min had just arrived at her office.

Her subordinate Zheng Sihai burst into the office with a beaming smile, forgetting to even knock: "Chief Editor Chen, good news!"

"Huge news!!"

"What happened?"

Chen Min raised an eyebrow slightly. She had been quite frustrated this past week because her archrival Zhou Gang kept causing trouble.

Especially during meetings, he always brought up "Three-Body Civilization" to insinuate Chen Min was "using public office for private gain."

There were even rumors circulating within the publishing house saying the reason Chen Min helped Shen Qiushan publish his book was because they were having an affair.

Although it’s unclear who started these rumors, it’s obvious it must have been Zhou Gang stirring things up.

As a man, losing to Chen Min in workplace competition, Zhou Gang was certainly unwilling to give up, longing to pull Chen Min off her editor-in-chief position to seize it for himself!

Dealing with "internal friction" had already left Chen Min frustrated, so her mood hadn’t been good lately.

"’Three-Body Civilization’ won an award!"

"It won the Best Science Fiction Novel at the Nebula Awards!"

"And, Shen Qiushan also received the Best New Science Fiction Writer Award!"

Zheng Sihai exclaimed with excitement, "I just knew ’Three-Body Civilization’ was capable!"

"If it didn’t win an award, then the Nebula Awards would be just an empty name!"

Upon hearing this great news!

Chen Min stood up instantly, previously slightly fatigued, now looking like she was pumped with adrenaline.

"Call a meeting immediately!"

"Have Xiaozhang notify everyone to attend!"

"Especially Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou!"

Chen Min specifically emphasized.

"Ok!"

Zheng Sihai nodded and strode out of the office, immediately finding Chen Min’s assistant Zhang Huihui to relay the meeting notice.

Soon, all departments received the meeting notice.

Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou Gang had just arrived at the publishing house and hadn’t even reached his office when he heard about Chen Min calling a full meeting.

Early in the morning, what’s gotten into that woman now!

Zhou Gang muttered to himself, and at this moment, President Cao Zizhou, who didn’t come to the publishing house every day, happened to show up early as well.

"President, you’re just in time."

"Chief Editor Chen suddenly called a full meeting!"

"You know, for such a meeting, at least there should be an advance notice of one or two hours!"

Zhou Gang seized the opportunity to complain about Chen Min.

But today, President Cao, who usually liked maintaining balance, had a different attitude.

If Zhou Gang had criticized Chen Min before, Cao Zizhou would likely have subtly supported him.

But now, Cao Zizhou kept a straight face and said, "If Chief Editor Chen has called a full meeting, there must be work-related matters to discuss."

"She is the chief editor, after all; it’s her duty!"

Zhou Gang was taken aback by this unexpected reaction from Cao Zizhou, completely contrasting with the president he knew.

What’s going on?

Could something major be happening?

Zhou Gang’s instincts were sharp, and he couldn’t help but wonder.

Entering the meeting room.

A lot of people had already arrived. Not knowing Cao Zizhou would come, Chen Min was sitting at the main seat.

"President!"

Seeing Cao Zizhou enter the meeting room, Chen Min and the staff stood up.

"Please, everyone, take a seat."

Cao Zizhou gently waved his hand, then said to Chen Min, who was about to give up the main seat, "Chief Editor Chen, I’m just here to sit in; you remain seated!"

After speaking, he voluntarily sat at the first position on the left.

Seeing this, Zhou Gang was even more bewildered.

Not only him, but the other employees were also stunned because it seemed like President Cao was fully supporting Chen Min!

Soon, the meeting room was filled with people.

Chen Min cleared her throat and began, "Today’s meeting is to announce some exciting news!"

"The work ’Three-Body Civilization’ we are about to publish has won the Best Science Fiction Novel at the Nebula Awards!"

Wow!!

As soon as Chen Min finished her sentence.

The meeting room erupted! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Unlike Lin Moxuan, who wasn’t very familiar with the Nebula Awards, everyone present was a professional and fully aware of the award’s prestige.

It is the most authoritative award in the field of science fiction novels!

This award has always been dominated by foreign writers; no one in our country has ever won it before.

And now, someone has won the "Best Science Fiction Novel," an award of such high prestige!

It is foreseeable that this will cause a huge wave in the domestic literary circle!
