Chapter 254 Lin Shen Picked Me
At this moment, in Chen Xiaoxiao's dormitory.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Chen Xiaoxiao was quietly reading when she was suddenly disturbed by a surprised voice from the side.
Wang Heming hugged her best friend tightly, her face beaming with excitement:
"Xiaoxiao, your Lin Chen is amazing! In just half a year, he's already earned six degrees?"
"What? Six degrees? Lin Chen?"
Zhu Yi and Lu Qiong also came over.
The three of them looked at the trending topics on Wang Heming's phone together, and then exclaimed in unison.
"These are all people, how come Lin Chen is so good at it?"
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you ask your boyfriend to give us some pointers? This university stuff is so hard, my head is throbbing!"
Listening to the two women's words, Chen Xiaoxiao was filled with emotion.
My boyfriend is really amazing.
I must work twice as hard, otherwise I fear I will never be able to catch up with him.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoxiao returned the phone to Wang Heming and continued reading.
Meanwhile, the news that Lin Chen had earned six degrees was already spreading like wildfire online.
Even setting aside Lin Chen's proof of Goldbach's Conjecture and his recent gold medal win at the National Games, the news itself is already incredibly incredible.
A freshman completes graduation theses for six different majors in half a year. How amazing must that talent be?
Not to mention he's also an athlete.
In the eyes of many, he also needs to spend time on daily training!
These incredible actions not only made the news go viral, but also reignited discussions about Lin Chen.
The top three trending topics on Weibo were all related to Lin Chen.
This popularity also caused Lin Chen's Weibo follower count to break through the 2000 million mark once again.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Chen, who always prided himself on being humble and indifferent to fame and fortune, couldn't help but go online and check Weibo.
Lin Chen blushed slightly after randomly clicking on a blog post from a self-media outlet.
"Shocking! A freshman earned 6 degrees in half a year! A fortune teller says he's a reincarnation of the God of Literature!"
What kind of fabricated story is this? How can anyone believe it?
Lin Chen muttered something to himself and looked directly at the comments section.
"I believe it! I really believe it! Lin Shen must be the reincarnation of the God of Literature!"
"I just saw a rumor that Lin Shen was treated like royalty by his classmates in high school! And then, do you know what happened? Their class's college entrance exam scores were 20 points higher than the previous year!"
"Confirmed as a Wenquxing (a star associated with literature and scholarship)!"
"It's confirmed! It's just that Lin Shen is too low-key and never posts on Weibo. Otherwise, I would have gone to his place to pay my respects."
This netizen really resonates with me.
Upon seeing this comment, Lin Chen smiled shyly.
There are still people who understand my low-key nature.
Lin Chen has always been very indulgent towards these true fans.
He directly forwarded this comment to his own Weibo account and then wrote:
"Thank you all for your concern. I've been busy with my studies lately and haven't had much time to post on Weibo. With the Lunar New Year approaching, I'll randomly select a few comments from netizens to answer your questions and let's interact."
As soon as the Weibo post was published, a flood of comments appeared.
The first comment was from the netizen whose post Lin Chen forwarded and commented on.
"Wow! I'm so excited! I actually got noticed by Lin Shen! He's got that ethereal aura from a top student!"
Bro, what does "flipping the card" mean?
Lin Chen looked completely bewildered.
Skipping that comment, Lin Chen continued reading and randomly selected a few replies.
"Lin Shen, did you really get 6 degrees in just half a semester?"
Lin Chen: "It's fake. I've only written six graduation theses and haven't defended them yet, so I can't say I've received my degree."
"Lin Shen, do you have a girlfriend? Do you need a girlfriend? I can warm your feet, warm your bed, and warm your blankets."
Lin Chen: "Sorry, I have a girlfriend."
"Lin Shen! I discovered that the winner of the National Youth Art Competition last September is also named Lin Chen. Could it be you?!"
Lin Chen: "Excuse me, it is indeed me."
"Lin Shen, how exactly did you study? What makes you so good at it?"
Lin Chen: "A little bit of hard work, plus 99% talent, most people shouldn't try to learn from me, they can't."
After a few small interactions, netizens also became excited.
"It has to be Lin Shen. I have never seen such a shameless person... I'm following him."
"Lin Shen is good in every way, except he's a bit shameless!"
"Shameless! +1!"
……
Time passed day by day, and soon Chen Xiaoxiao's exams were over.
Lin Chen, who had been waiting for her, finally embarked on his journey home with his girlfriend.
After the plane landed, Chen Xiaoxiao was quickly picked up by Meng Lan, while Lin Chen met his parents.
The two drove their newly bought car to the airport to pick up Lin Chen and take him home.
Seeing Lin Chen staring intently at the departing figures of Chen Xiaoxiao and her daughter, Lin's mother teased with a smile, "Son, how about I propose marriage to you over the New Year?"
"You're not the same person you used to be. Our family has money to pay the dowry!"
Lin's mother is now full of confidence.
Although no one knew that Lin Chen had earned 100 million from Meng Lan, the fact that his son had earned 100 million US dollars from Americans was common knowledge throughout the country.
In the past, they always felt that their family and the Chen family were not on the same level, so they never really supported their son's feelings for Chen Xiaoxiao.
But it's different now.
Putting aside his son's academic excellence and sports champion status, his wealth alone makes him a multi-millionaire!
"mom--"
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated.
"It's too early now. Xiaoxiao and I are only freshmen."
"What do you mean 'early'? Can't we get engaged first? Or do you want to find another girlfriend?"
"Of course not..."
Seeing his son's embarrassed expression, Lin's father stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, your son is decisive, we don't need to worry about him, go back quickly!"
With that, the family of three got into the car.
Watching his father drive steadily, and listening to his mother talking about the changes in the family since Lin Chen went to university.
Lin Chen looked on with a sigh.
It seems that my second life has brought about significant changes to the world and my parents.
"Son, look! That's your billboard!"
Suddenly, Mom pointed out the window and shouted.
Lin Chen peeked out and saw an advertisement for a sports drink he endorsed standing right next to the highway.
Seeing his handsome face on the billboard, Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"Son, you're getting more and more handsome!"
Lin's mother looked excited.
"Let me tell you, it's not just that one, there are even more of your billboards in the city! Now I see you everywhere I go, it's like you never even went to the capital."
While driving, Lin's father heard his wife's words and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, son, did you know that our house has become the former residence of a celebrity? It's your maternal grandmother's old house."
"Huh? A celebrity's former residence?"
Donghai is not a big city, nor has it produced any famous people.
Nationwide, apart from Longtian Company, which is located here and has some reputation, it is rarely seen in the news.
But ever since Lin Chen took the college entrance examination, Dong Hai's name has appeared in the national news every few days.
First, he was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, then he won a gold medal at the International Art Competition (IMO), and then he became the champion of the National Youth Art Competition.
If these achievements are still limited to a small scope.
So Lin Chen's proof of Goldbach's conjecture and his victory at the National Games were truly sensational news that shook the entire country.
These two achievements alone are enough to make him a calling card for Donghai City.
So, even though Lin Chen was not dead, the people of Donghai had already begun to erect monuments and write biographies for him.
The local tourism bureau directly registered Lin Chen's maternal grandmother's old house as a cultural relic.
Although Lin Chen no longer lives there, he spent the first half of his life there.
Even if that area is to be demolished in the future, their old house will not be demolished.
Lin Chen looked surprised when he heard this.
"Isn't this a bit too much? Mom, doesn't that mean my cousin's family is losing out?"
The area around my maternal grandmother's house was a shantytown, and every household was waiting for demolition and relocation. Lin Chen's cousin Jiang Lai's family was no exception.
My mother smiled and said, "What's the loss? The government has said that if there's any demolition in the future, as long as they want to move, they'll be provided with the same compensation as before. The old house will be taken over by the government and converted into a museum, and so will ours."
"So, in a way, they are the ones who benefited from you. Now, in order to protect cultural relics, their family receives a monthly maintenance subsidy as long as they live there."
After a pause, Mom continued, "By the way, knowing that you were coming back this time, Principal Lin of Donghai No.1 Middle School and Teacher Huang, your future homeroom teacher in vocational school, both made a special trip to visit with gifts."
They want you to go back to school and give a speech if you return before the holidays.
Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed when he learned that teachers from both of his schools had actually come to visit him with gifts.
"I understand. I'll contact them when I get home. By the way, how are they?"
Mom laughed and said, "It's great! Donghai No.1 Middle School has become a provincial key school now. Principal Lin sends out banners and congratulatory notices every time you make a move, so we always find out about you from him first."
And Teacher Huang, because he taught a student like you, is now the vice principal.
Hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.
Knowing that the people around him in the past are doing so well is an unexpected joy for him.
