Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 183 - 136: One Sentence Convinced the Gold-Digging Me!
Military training starts on the 3rd, and tomorrow is also registration day.
So there’s really no need for Shen Qiushan to stay in the dorms and suffer.
Is the queen-sized bed in the faculty dorm uncomfortable, or is Miss Liu next door not charming enough?
With no pressing issues, it’s naturally preferable to sleep in the single apartment in the faculty dorms!
After all, he’s different from ordinary college students; these kids need to mingle with their roommates and build dorm relations.
But Shen Qiushan has no common topics with these kids and doesn’t need to deliberately maintain roommate relations, so naturally, he’ll do whatever feels comfortable.
After leaving the dormitory, Shen Qiushan went to the alumni supermarket to buy a bedding set and some daily necessities.
Luckily, he has a car and can move freely through the dorm area.
Otherwise, carrying so many things would be quite the hassle.
Driving to the faculty dormitory’s entrance, Shen Qiushan saw a familiar figure from afar, Liu Qingwu, carrying a bag of fruit and walking toward the dormitory.
But because a car’s headlights were shining from behind, Liu Qingwu instinctively stopped and glanced over.
Then, she saw a brand-new AITO M9!
Of course, Liu Qingwu recognized this car, after all, her goal is to find a wealthy husband!
As an outstanding student from Sanjiang University, she has a specific description for a "wealthy husband".
For instance, the car must be worth over 500,000, the house must be over 200 square meters, without loans, in a good location, and an annual salary not less than 5 million!
Liu Qingwu feels that, with her status as a university teacher and her excellent looks, finding a man with such conditions is not impossible.
Having made such concrete descriptions, Liu Qingwu naturally does her homework, like which cars cost over 500,000 and which neighborhoods in Sanjiang have houses meeting her needs, etc.
And right now, this AITO M9’s price is within her acceptable range, and many of her friends with similar goals say that men who can afford high-end domestic electric vehicles are worth paying attention to.
Because these are still in the "big toy" phase for the wealthy, ordinary people won’t actually buy them — only those who really don’t care about money would spend hundreds of thousands to buy a big toy to play with.
Whose car could this be?
Which professor’s?
Curious, Liu Qingwu looked towards the driver’s seat, but the bright lights made it impossible to see the person inside.
While she was wondering who the driver could be, the car stopped right beside her.
And then, Shen Qiushan got out with a smile: "Miss Liu, what a coincidence to meet you."
"Old Shen?"
Liu Qingwu didn’t expect the car to belong to Shen Qiushan.
She had read news about Shen Qiushan before; before returning to campus to prepare for the college entrance exam, he was just an ordinary delivery man.
Logically, his family conditions should be average.
But now, he’s driving a 500,000 car!
This isn’t something an ordinary family can afford!
It seems online reports aren’t reliable!
Many thoughts flashed through Liu Qingwu’s mind, but she maintained a faint smile on her face: "Old Shen, what do you mean by ’it’s great to meet me’?"
"Do you need any help?"
"Miss Liu truly deserves her reputation as an excellent student at Sanjiang University, quick to understand."
Shen Qiushan praised and then opened the trunk: "I bought some daily necessities. If I hadn’t met Miss Liu, I would’ve had to make two trips myself."
"Well, you’re pretty lucky then!"
Liu Qingwu replied with a smile, then picked up the basin and put the towel, shampoo, body wash, and other items in it.
With Director Liu’s help, Shen Qiushan felt much more relaxed, only needing to carry his pillow, bedding, and clothes.
"Old Shen, your car is so big. What brand is it? I don’t recognize it!"
Walking into the dormitory, Liu Qingwu feigned ignorance with an exclamation.
And when such words come from a girl, men hardly suspect a thing, since women aren’t generally knowledgeable about cars. Moreover, there are so many new energy brands now, and the logos are all over the place.
Not to mention women who don’t pay much attention to cars, even experienced drivers might not recognize every car logo.
Plus, pretending to be clueless and asking proactively gives men a sense of achievement. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
At this point, Shen Qiushan had no doubts; he simply assumed that Director Liu genuinely didn’t know, and explained as they walked: "My car is from AITO, a new energy brand."
"So this is AITO!"
"I’ve only heard of it before, it looks quite big and gives a very imposing impression!"
Liu Qingwu reacted with surprise and even gave a compliment.
Because she knows, this is how to flatter a man.
When you want to compliment a man, praise him for being handsome or having good character, he might politely dismiss it with a slight smile.
But if you commend his nice car, watch, impressive fishing gear, or classy tea set — in short, praise what he cares about — it hits the sweet spot!
Right now, that’s how Shen Qiushan felt; Liu Qingwu knew just how to flatter him, making it impossible for him to suppress his smile.
Back upstairs, Liu Qingwu didn’t rush off; she walked around Shen Qiushan’s room, teasing: "Old Shen, our rooms are just a wall apart. If you snore at night, can I hear it?"
"Hmm, that’s actually quite possible."
Shen Qiushan nodded seriously and said, "However, over time you’ll get used to it, and might even struggle to sleep without the snoring in the future!"
Hearing this, Liu Qingwu blinked her fox-like eyes gently: "According to you, after being your neighbor, I’ll have to find a husband who snores loudly in the future!"
Shen Qiushan laughed heartily, not commenting further.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang from an unknown number.
"Sorry, let me take this call."
Shen Qiushan motioned to Liu Qingwu and then pressed the answer button.
Originally, Liu Qingwu planned to return to her room, considering Shen Qiushan’s current display of wealth — just a 500,000 car — wasn’t enough for her to be overly forthcoming.
She just needed to leave a good impression and plant a seed of goodwill.
But the first sentence on the call immediately caught her materialistic attention.
"Teacher Shen, sorry to bother you so late. I’m the head of the Copyright Department at Penguin Novels. Wutong messaged you, but you didn’t respond."
"It’s like this, a film company wants to purchase the film rights to ’I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate’ for ten million. Would that price be acceptable?"
Seeing the unfamiliar number, Shen Qiushan initially thought it was a delivery call, so he didn’t step away from Liu Qingwu. Since it was just the two of them in the room and very quiet, Liu Qingwu heard the entire conversation clearly.
Originally taking a step towards the door, Liu Qingwu paused, walked over to the sofa, and quietly unwrapped the new bedding set Shen Qiushan bought. She first slipped the pillow into its case, then picked up the bed sheet to make the bed, signaling to Shen Qiushan to continue his call and not to mind her...
Seeing Liu Qingwu acting like a diligent young wife, Shen Qiushan took the call on the balcony. It was a busy registration day, and he hadn’t logged into his backup WeChat account, Shen’s Tutoring, missing the messages from editor Wutong.
He immediately spoke with the Penguin Novels staff, who mentioned that film companies had contacted Penguin Novels before, but the prices weren’t right. Now, with the novel nearing completion and its popularity spreading, it’s the perfect time to sell.
With money knocking on his door, Shen Qiushan had no reason to refuse. Web novel adaptations into films and TV dramas are no longer novel, even if rebirth-themed novels haven’t had major success in this area.
However, that’s not Shen Qiushan’s concern. It’s great if it succeeds; if not, it doesn’t affect his ability to earn!
After finishing the call, Shen Qiushan walked back into the room, where he found Liu Qingwu bending over, one knee on the bed, diligently smoothing out the wrinkles in the sheet.
Seeing Shen Qiushan approach, she slightly raised her head but kept her bent posture, showing no concern as her V-neck T-shirt carelessly revealed quite an alluring view to Shen Qiushan.
She seemed oblivious to her exposure and jokingly said with a smile: "Old Shen, you got tricked; this sheet isn’t pure cotton!"
"The alumni supermarket loves selling old counterfeit goods when freshmen register!"
"Haha, what a little dummy~"
