Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 298 - 200: Lin Xiamo Competes!
"That Old Yu, he just loves doing things for show!"
"Those who know would say you won the Nebula Award, those who don’t might think he won it himself!"
Lin Moxuan shook his head and complained. He had known Yu Qifeng for more than twenty years and understood the other’s way of doing things well.
"How is Xiaoxiao’s injury?"
"I heard he went to Beijing by himself. The child is still young, better not let him go out alone in the future!"
Lin Moxuan was still very concerned about his grandson’s injury. Previously, Lin Xiamo and Shen Qiushan going to Beijing together was partly his idea.
"He’s recovering well and it hasn’t affected his schooling."
"The school is taking good care of him, found him a place to stay on the first floor of the dormitory."
"Hmm, that’s good."
Lin Moxuan nodded. "When you have time, bring Xiaoxiao and Yanran over for a meal."
"I was just thinking of going this weekend!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Alright, let’s do it this weekend then."
"By the way, you can see Momo at school, right? You still need to talk to her about the band thing."
"It’s not that I’m close-minded, but you tell me, a girl who’s not married, why is she doing rock?"
"What decent man would marry a woman who’s in a rock band?"
Lin Moxuan was strongly opposed to his daughter being in a band. Even though before, because of his wife Chen Qingzhu, he didn’t stand on the same line and had to compromise.
But changing one’s mindset is very difficult, especially for someone like Lin Moxuan, a "successful person." Having achieved success in a certain field, it’s even harder for him to change his established thinking.
He will always stick to his set of theories and views, which are hard to shake!
"Hmm, hmm, I’ll try to persuade her."
Shen Qiushan nodded repeatedly. His current goal was to earn favor with Lin Moxuan, his father-in-law, so naturally, he could not go against his wishes.
Even if it means saying one thing and doing another!
At least on the surface, he had to appear very compliant.
In fact, Shen Qiushan could understand Lin Moxuan’s perspective. The "decent man" he mentioned was likely someone whose family background matched theirs, or even higher.
In the eyes of these leaders, doing rock is almost equivalent to "not doing proper work," and even star celebrities are seen as akin to "actors" from ancient times, tools to be used but not presentable.
No powerful leader would allow their child to marry a female star!
Therefore, from Lin Moxuan’s point of view, his daughter getting into rock is essentially sacrificing the chance to marry into a "good family"!
He knew his daughter was pretty, and she definitely didn’t lack suitors around her, but being in a different circle meant people around her would be vastly different.
Getting mixed into that rock circle, what good people could possibly be around?
So, on this matter, Lin Moxuan was vehemently opposed.
"Weren’t you the one supporting her in starting a band?"
Seeing that Shen Qiushan didn’t argue back, Lin Moxuan was a bit surprised.
"Uh, I’m not exactly supporting, just respecting her choice."
"Likewise, I don’t think your perspective is wrong, it’s just that we’re seeing the problem from different angles."
Lin Moxuan was quite satisfied with Shen Qiushan’s response. He nodded. "If Momo really likes being in a band, singing occasionally isn’t out of the question, but the venues should be carefully selected and she shouldn’t dress like before!"
"What sort of appearance was that!"
Lin Moxuan knew it would be quite difficult for his daughter to completely give up, so he planned to tackle this steadily.
Take it step by step.
In Lin Moxuan’s view, the issue could be easily resolved. Once his daughter gets married and has children, she wouldn’t have the energy or time to get involved with any band.
So, the main issue now is to find a suitable boyfriend for his daughter!
And also to keep an eye on Shen Qiushan!
He couldn’t let this kid abduct his second daughter too.
The same mistake couldn’t be made twice!
"Qiushan, have you considered your personal matters?"
"Chuxue has been gone for quite a while, and Xiaoxiao and Yanran are grown; it would be quite normal for you to consider personal matters now. As you get older, it’s good to have a companion!"
On the surface, Lin Moxuan appeared concerned about Shen Qiushan’s personal issues, but in reality, he was trying to gauge Shen Qiushan’s intentions and plans.
"It’s hard to find someone for a widower with two kids like me."
Shen Qiushan shrugged. "Besides, this mainly depends on Xiaoxiao and Yanran’s opinions; they need to like the person."
Lin Moxuan nodded slightly. "If there is someone suitable, you can consider it."
"By the way, what’s this I hear about a Go competition online?"
"I hadn’t heard that you could play Go!"
The news of Shen Qiushan defeating five Seoul University exchange students in a Go match went viral yesterday, and Lin Moxuan’s secretary, Chen Xiaohua, informed him right away.
Upon learning this, Lin Moxuan was quite surprised, as he only knew Shen Qiushan was good at Chinese chess, and didn’t know his son-in-law also played Go.
"It was just an informal match among amateurs, not as impressive as it was hyped online..."
Shen Qiushan was very modest.
"We should play a few games if you have time. I’ve been studying Go recently too!"
"Sure, I look forward to learning from you..."
Shen Qiushan made sure to be agreeable today, complimenting and chatting with his father-in-law throughout.
In a good mood, Lin Moxuan invited him to lunch at the cafeteria.
The attempt to win over his father-in-law was showing early success!
