Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 43 - 41: Shen’s Tutoring Is in High Demand (Double Release)
"It’s not realistic to improve quickly!"
Sun Xing shook his head while taking a puff and said, "High school mathematics is neither too difficult nor too easy. In your case, if you want to improve your math grades, you can only start learning from high school freshman year, beginning by memorizing basic concepts and formulas."
"If we compare mathematics to constructing a skyscraper, then basic concepts and formulas are equivalent to the foundation. Only with a solid foundation can the skyscraper be built..."
"So you’re saying I have to read through all the textbooks from freshman to senior year?" Shen Qiushan flicked the ash from his cigarette and asked.
Sun Xing shook his head: "Going through them once isn’t enough; you must at least memorize the concepts and formulas, like those you learn in freshman year: what is a set, what are sufficient and necessary conditions, what is a function, and what are the various methods to represent functions..."
"Once you’ve grasped the basic concepts and formulas, only then can you flexibly apply them to solving problems!"
"Old Shen, you’ve been away from school for so many years; it’s normal not to be able to do math problems."
"No need to compete with those little brats!"
Sun Xing thought Shen Qiushan had sought him out because his pride was hurt after scoring 13 points, so he offered a comforting smile at the end.
"I’m not competing with others, but I have to at least outdo that stinky kid of mine; otherwise, he’ll really start boasting. He scored 73 points and even showed off to me!"
Shen Qiushan didn’t want to tell Sun Xing about his plan to go to college, so he conveniently used his son as a shield.
"Old Shen, you’re truly the most dutiful father I’ve ever seen!"
"I’ve been a teacher for so many years and have seen many parents who care about their kids’ education, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone like you who’s setting such an example!"
Sun Xing expressed his heartfelt admiration.
Shen Qiushan smiled but didn’t respond; after finishing his cigarette, he stuffed an unopened pack of Huazi into Sun Xing’s hand: "Out of smokes? Your pockets look empty."
"I’m heading off now, gotta go memorize formulas!"
Before Sun Xing could react, Shen Qiushan strode back to the classroom of senior class five.
"This Old Shen..."
Sun Xing chuckled and slipped the Huazi into his pocket. A pack of cigarettes was nothing to him, but in a subtle way, it had brought two old men closer together.
Sanjiang Science and Technology Park.
This place gathered several renowned domestic internet companies.
Penguin Novels was one of them.
Floor 15, Building A of the science park, the editorial department of Penguin Novels.
At this moment, a large-eyed cute girl sitting at a window seat was sipping coffee while "fishing" for books in the library.
"Fishing for books" meant searching for potentially promising books among the vast number of new books not yet signed by other editors.
This task was mainly done by new editors with little author resources in hand, as they received few submissions and had to rely on fishing for books to meet their performance targets.
This large-eyed cute girl was a new editor who had only been on the job for two months, using the online name "Wutong."
After discarding one novel, she started looking for her next target.
Soon a novel titled "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate" caught her eye.
The novel had already uploaded twenty Chapters but still had no cover.
Most likely, the author was a newcomer.
Because experienced authors usually have their covers ready before they start writing.
Newcomer!
The title was ordinary!
Wutong had already gathered two pieces of information about the book in her mind, then she glanced at the summary:
"Never expected it, society’s elite and diamond bachelor Chen Hansheng actually reincarnated, waking up as a senior high school graduate.
At a crossroad, Chen Hansheng hesitated between deciding on treasure girl Shen Youchu and white moonlight Xiao Rongyu; who should he choose?"
Plain and unremarkable...
You could also say it has no highlights.
In the sea of reincarnation novels, this summary barely qualifies as passable. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The information Wutong currently had was: ordinary title, ordinary summary, newcomer author.
With these three pieces of information combined, Wutong was ready to dismiss it outright. However, considering this little newcomer had already written twenty Chapters, the big-eyed cute girl decided to give this hardworking newbie a chance.
Hence, she clicked open the first Chapter with a hint of disinterest.
The opening felt quite normal, lacking novelty, belonging to the clichéd reincarnation trope.
However, what surprised her was the newcomer’s impressive writing ability.
The clichéd reincarnation start was written so smoothly that it enticed one to read on.
Second Chapter, third Chapter...
The frequency of the big-eyed cute girl’s right hand scrolling the mouse gradually slowed, while her left hand unconsciously put down the coffee cup. As the plot unfolded, her mouth unconsciously lifted into a smile, revealing two shallow dimples...
A few minutes later.
The webpage displayed a "To be continued" prompt.
That’s it?
That’s the end!!
The big-eyed cute girl collapsed weakly onto her seat, as if her spirit had been abruptly drained.
No, wait!
This is an unsigned new book!
The big-eyed cute girl eagerly straightened up, suddenly feeling invigorated as if injected with adrenaline, and quickly accessed the book’s related information.
To her relief, no other editor had "signed" this book yet!
She hurriedly sent out an internal message inviting the author to sign a contract.
Once the message was sent, she let out a long sigh, as if she had protected a treasure!
Picking up the coffee cup on her desk again, she realized the coffee had long gone cold.
However, the big-eyed cute girl’s mood remained buoyant, believing this book had the potential to be a hit.
It might even become her first bestselling novel in the industry!
There’s definitely gold in the library.
It just depends on whether you’re patient and diligent enough to discover it!
