Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 360 - 242: Double Blessings Arrive

"Where is Qiushan?"

"When will he arrive?"

Chen Qingzhu was concerned about her son-in-law.

"He’s on his way."

"He should be here soon!"

Lin Xiamo had just called Shen Qiushan, knowing he was accompanying Xu Pipa to the psychiatric hospital.

As the mother and daughter were talking.

Lin Moxuan came home from work. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"What’s the occasion today?"

"Why so many dishes?"

On the kitchen island, there were dishes laid out everywhere, and Lin Moxuan asked curiously.

"You’ll find out soon!"

Chen Qingzhu kept it a secret; she indeed had good news to announce, or else she wouldn’t have called her daughter and son-in-law back.

"Quite mysterious!"

"Is Qiushan coming too?"

Lin Moxuan asked casually.

"He’ll be here soon!"

"That’s great because I have some good news to announce too!"

With a hum, Lin Moxuan went to the study.

"Did you already tell your dad?"

Seeing her husband in such a good mood, Chen Qingzhu suspiciously glanced at Lin Xiamo.

"No, I haven’t."

"Didn’t you say you wanted to give everyone a surprise?"

Lin Xiamo shook her head.

"Then what’s up?"

"Could he also have good news?"

Chen Qingzhu became curious about the good news from her husband Lin Moxuan as well.

The mother and daughter busied themselves in the kitchen for a while.

Shen Qiushan arrived.

"Wow, smells so good!"

"Looks like I arrived just in time."

Shen Qiushan, after changing his slippers, followed the smell to the kitchen.

"Indeed, we’re about to start dinner."

"Go wait in the dining room!"

Chen Qingzhu was increasingly pleased with her son-in-law Shen Qiushan, hoping that he would quickly get their marriage certificate with Lin Xiamo, tying him permanently to their family.

Otherwise, such an outstanding son-in-law might be snatched away by some other Little Elf.

"Sure!"

"I’ll go wash my hands first."

Shen Qiushan, not being reserved, cheerfully went to wash his hands.

Soon, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the dining table.

The whole family sat down.

Lin Moxuan smiled at his wife, "Didn’t you say you have good news?"

"You can announce it now!"

"Yes!"

Chen Qingzhu responded, then cleared her throat and seriously said, "Just today, Momo and I received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala team, inviting us to perform ’The Most Popular National Style’ together at the Gala!"

"Wow!"

"The Spring Festival Gala!!"

Lin Jiayu exclaimed enthusiastically; her sister Lin Xiamo had indeed not told her this news.

Although the attention to the Spring Festival Gala had waned over the years, it was still the most watched show each year.

To be able to perform on the Gala’s stage was considered the highest honor for artists!

Especially for a singer like Chen Qingzhu in the arts group; stepping onto the Gala stage was absolutely the highlight of her career!

Lin Moxuan, who learned this news, was also very shocked. Being in the system, he naturally understood the weight of the Spring Festival Gala.

It wasn’t just a simple show; it also had some political significance. To appear on the Gala was like gaining official recognition.

"Really?"

"Did you verify their identity?"

Lin Moxuan’s first reaction was whether his wife had been duped.

Nowadays, scammers were rampant, adopting various modes.

His suspicion arose because Lin Moxuan wasn’t familiar with the entertainment industry; he had no idea how popular his wife and daughter had become!

He only knew that ’The Most Popular National Style’ had become a dance hit and was everywhere.

But the thought of getting on the Gala through just one song still seemed incredible to him.

"How could it be a scam? The Gala team contacted me through our arts group’s leader."

Chen Qingzhu replied.

Then she, with a big smile, looked at Shen Qiushan: "Qiushan, it’s all thanks to you!"

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have a chance at the Gala!"

"Mom, you’re giving me too much credit!"

"It’s clearly because of your own talent."

Shen Qiushan hurriedly waved it off and flattered, "Only you could make ’The Most Popular National Style’ a hit!"

"No one else could!"

Even knowing Shen Qiushan was flattering her, Chen Qingzhu was still pleased.

A son-in-law who knew how to talk without stealing credit is likable to anyone!

"That’s truly great news!"

"You’ve finally fulfilled your dream."

Lin Moxuan nodded, feeling happy for his wife.

As a singer in the arts group, Chen Qingzhu had attended many performances when she was young, including the Gala’s auditions.

The closest she’d gotten to the Gala was participating in a rehearsal for a choir, but the performance was eventually cut.

Unexpectedly, so many years later.

His wife Chen Qingzhu truly made it to the Gala stage!

"What about your good news?"

"Can you share it now?"

Chen Qingzhu asked Lin Moxuan again.

"Ahem..."

When it came to his good news, Lin Moxuan instinctively lifted his head and puffed out his chest, then he spoke: "Today, the higher-ups had a talk with me; there will be a job transfer soon."

"Job transfer?"

"To where?"

Chen Qingzhu curiously asked.

"To the Investment Bureau!"

"That’s just secondary; the important thing is..."

Lin Moxuan paused slightly and raised his voice: "I’m appointed as the Deputy Mayor!"

"Wow!"

"That’s amazing!!"

Once again, Lin Jiayu was the first to cheer him on.

"A promotion indeed!"

"That’s truly wonderful news!"

Chen Qingzhu didn’t expect her husband’s good news to be so explosive.

Under normal circumstances, officials of Lin Moxuan’s age found it hard to get promoted further and would most likely retire with their current position, but now he’s one step ahead; this was truly joyous news.

"Dad, congratulations!"

"I propose a toast to you!"

Shen Qiushan, with a smile, lifted his glass in a toast.

Lin Moxuan nodded slightly, lifted his glass, and clinked it with Shen Qiushan’s. In fact, his job transfer was also thanks to some "help" from his son-in-law Shen Qiushan.

Because of Little Blue Bottle, Lin Moxuan became a trusted confidant of the top leaders. To extend his retirement, they used their connections to promote him.

In Sanjiang City, the capital, Lin Moxuan’s retirement age, with the promotion, could be extended from 63 to 65 years.

This effectively extended his political life!

This was surely a great joy for someone like Lin Moxuan, who’d been in politics all his life!

"Today’s a double celebration!"

"Qiushan, drink more with your dad!"

Chen Qingzhu cheerfully suggested.

"Yes, we should drink more today!"

Shen Qiushan agreed, raising his glass once more.

After the two had been drinking for a while.

Lin Xiamo, who hadn’t said much, suddenly spoke: "Dad, I have something to tell you too."

"What is it?"

Lin Moxuan put down his glass and glanced at his daughter.

"I’ve resigned from the school!"

Lin Xiamo straightforwardly said without any suspense.

"What! Resigned?"

Lin Moxuan immediately furrowed his brows: "Didn’t you say it was just a leave of absence?"

Even though Lin Xiamo won the ’Voice of Hua Country’ championship, in Lin Moxuan’s view, singing should just be a hobby.

There was no need to pursue a career as a singer!

"I resigned a while ago, I just never told you."

In fact, Lin Xiamo had wanted to tell her father about her resignation for some time, but never found the right moment.

Seeing her father in such a good mood today, Lin Xiamo took the opportunity to inform him of her resignation.

"Nonsense!"

Lin Moxuan angrily patted the table, he opened his mouth to scold her further but ultimately said nothing more.

The decision was made, anything more was useless!

However, Lin Moxuan turned to Shen Qiushan: "Did you know about this all along?"

"Uh..."

"Yes!"

After a brief hesitation, Shen Qiushan nodded.

"I knew it was you who encouraged her!"

Lin Moxuan glared at Shen Qiushan angrily, then slammed the table in front of him: "This can’t be resolved without five Little Blue Bottles!"
