After learning that Xiang Nan had been selected for the national team, Director Pan was so happy that he announced the good news at the school radio station.

"Teachers and classmates, I have a piece of good news for you. Chu Tiankuo, a class 1 grade 2 student in our school, has been successfully selected for the national team due to his outstanding performance during the Mathematical Olympiad training camp. He will represent China in the July competition. , International Mathematical Olympiad held in Cancun, Mexico.

This is the best result that Zhenhua has achieved in the field of Mathematics Olympiad in the 80 years since its establishment. Student Chu Tiankuo has won honors for our Zhenhua, which is the pride of every Zhenhua person. We are proud of him. pride……"

After hearing this broadcast, the students were shocked.

"Chu Tiankuo is really awesome. He was even selected for the national team."

"It's really amazing! There are 40 million high school students, and only six are needed. This is not about thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but tens of millions of troops crossing a single-plank bridge."

"Yu Huai, Weekend, Lin Yang, Sheng Huainan...the best results of these academic masters are only the first prize at the national level. They have to take the recommended exam to win the recommended spot. Chu Tiankuo was shortlisted for the national team this time. Directly recommend it, it’s really amazing!”

The classmates talked a lot and were full of envy for Xiang Nan.

They are still working hard to prepare for the college entrance examination, but Xiang Nan has already been freed. Moreover, it is really honorable and affordable to be able to represent the country in the competition.

When Ling Xiangqian heard this broadcast, she was very happy for Xiang Nan.

He is indeed the man she likes, he is excellent!

…

Xiang Nan returned to Shanhai City and went home to meet his parents first.

"My good son, you have indeed given credit to our old Chu family." Chu Guoqiang said happily.

It is really an honor for my son to be selected for the national team and represent the country.

"Son, if you compete abroad in the future, will you get any bonuses if you win?" He Yufen asked with concern.

"There shouldn't be any." Xiang Nan was stunned, then shook his head, "There is only one medal, one certificate, and one certificate."

"Oh." Hearing what he said, He Yufen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She thought she would be like an Olympic athlete and would receive material rewards after winning.

"Mom, you can't think like that. Winning the International Mathematical Olympiad competition already shows your ability. Your son will definitely be successful in the future, so you don't have to think about petty profits." Seeing this, Xiang Nan comforted with a smile. .

Hearing what he said, He Yufen nodded.

No matter what, it is a great joy for my son to be selected for the national team. There are so many high school students in the country, but few have such ability.

It’s really amazing!

…

Suddenly, when Xiang Nan returned to school, the students were excited again.

Congratulations, congratulations, envy, jealousy, admiration...it was not until a few days later that the students' emotions calmed down and they no longer surrounded him every day.

In the following time, Xiang Nan continued to study, write novels, and get bored with Ling Xiangqian, and lived a relatively happy life.

However, there is also something that makes Xiang Nan unhappy, that is, the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" he wrote has not yet been released as a single volume by the publishing house, but the Toiban bookseller has already compiled it into a volume and started selling it.

In the rental bookstore near the school, "Ghost Blowing Lamp: The Wonderful Ancient City" and "Ghost Blowing Lamp: Longling Mysterious Cave" are all clearly displayed there. You can rent them for 50 cents for a day. Because the writing is really wonderful, people are really interested in renting them. There are many, and often you can’t even rent one if you want.

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has been serialized in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times·Story Edition" for more than half a year, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Longling Labyrinth" has just been serialized.

Xiang Nan was preparing to serialize "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley". However, now that he saw how rampant the pirates were, and all the novels he wrote were used by the pirates' booksellers to make money, Xiang Nan couldn't help but hesitate.

If the serialization continues, the market for "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" will be crowded by Toisaka Books before it is released as a single book. By then, everyone will have read Toisaka Books, and who will buy the genuine version again.

Therefore, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​serialization.

However, in order to make money, he serialized other novels, one of which was the "Old Martial Arts" series, which told the story of martial artists in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The first one was "Archer Liu Baiyuan".

The other is the "Di Renjie" series, which tells the story of Di Renjie, the prime minister of Dali Temple, who investigated the case during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The first part is "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire".

These two novels were serialized in "Legends of Modern Times" and "Story Club" respectively. They are both novellas, with a maximum length of 170,000 to 80,000 words.

Unless several volumes are collected and published together, a single novel is not suitable for Toizaka.

…

In April, the monthly exam results were released. Xiang Nan and Ling Xiangqian continued to rank first in liberal arts and sciences, and they both had a big advantage over the second place.

What makes Xiang Nan happy is that Xin Rui's grades have been hovering at a low level since the beginning of the new semester, without much improvement.

According to Xiang Nan's estimation, her mentality is out of balance, which prevents her from getting good grades.

Just like Ling Xiangqian in the third semester of high school in the play, she lost her first place because she was caught up by Xin Rui, Yu Zhouzhou, Liu Yi and other classmates, resulting in an unbalanced mentality and becoming more and more anxious.

Coupled with the bad relationship between her parents and their constant bickering, her mood was affected. Coupled with Chu Tiankuo stabbing her in the back and putting the blame for her early love on her, she suffered a complete mental breakdown and her grades dropped sharply.

Xin Rui's mentality is not as good as Ling Xiangqian's, she has lower self-esteem and is more gloomy. She doesn't have a loyal dog like Jiang Chuan around her to vent to, which makes her emotions more likely to collapse.

In addition, her family is even worse than Ling Xiangqian's. Her mother is a philistine and vulgar, and her father is weak and lazy. They also argue every day. Therefore, her emotions are more likely to be unbalanced, and her grades are naturally more susceptible to being affected.

Seeing her achievements like this, Xiang Nan felt very happy.

It's not that he has a dark mind, it's that those who harm others will eventually be punished.

…

In April, publishers contacted Xiang Nan one after another, hoping to get the publishing rights for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

It turns out that the magazine "Legends of Modern Times·Story Edition" has limited sales, with each issue selling just over 600,000 copies. So although the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is of good quality, its influence is not that great.

However, it was the best-selling novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" by Tosaka that made this series of novels become popular, which attracted the attention of publishers and prepared to publish this series of novels.

After learning this reason, Xiang Nan didn't know whether he was angry or funny.

But Xiang Nan was very happy that a publishing house was willing to publish a book. After all, he could make money once he published a book.

The "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series of novels has sold more than 10 million copies nationwide. The original author Tian Xia Ba Sing earned 2.8 million in royalties in 2007, ranking 19th among the richest writers.

However, when he learned that a person under the age of 18 with limited capacity for civil conduct must obtain ratification by a legal representative when signing a contract, he immediately hesitated.

To be honest, he still doesn't want Chu Guoqiang and He Yufen to know about his book writing.

Because both of them are very philistine, knowing that he has made so much money, they will probably take it away from him. When the time comes, it will be troublesome to give it to him, and it will be troublesome not to give it to him.
