Ultimate Scholar

And hearing what Li Mu said, Yisha immediately became indignant, "I thought what was written in the newspaper was true! How dare they do this!"

"These news media are like this, let alone The Sun." Li Mu shook his head: "Do you know how to report them? Or the channel to sue."

"Just let me do this." Yisha patted her chest immediately: "Don't worry, they will definitely not continue to send it next time. I will let them come and apologize to you."

Li Mu was taken aback: "You will let them come and apologize to me?"

"Oh... I know a friend who can help, don't worry!"

Yisha explained something, then changed the subject, and said with a smile: "But then again, I obviously had to go to school before you, but now you graduated first, and I don't know how long it will take for me to graduate Ah, graduation thesis, what a headache."

"For graduation thesis..."

Li Mu fumbled for his chin, is it a headache?

He didn't feel it.

He didn't even write his dissertation, after all.

Of course he still said: "Just take your time. Finding a good subject is the most important thing. For example, first prove his conjecture."

Isa: "..."

You can really joke.

"Forget it, let's ignore this kind of thing, I will call you a professor after I talk about it."

Suddenly she remembered something: "By the way, do you have to move out of the dormitory?"

Li Mu nodded, then pointed to the suitcase he placed beside the bed, and said, "No, I've already packed all my clothes, and I'm going to find a house soon."

Now that he has become a professor, of course he can no longer live in the student dormitory, and has to leave it to other students.

Of course, the college also gave him a grace period of one month, allowing him to find a house within one month, and then he can move out.

"That's it..."

Isa had a look of regret on her face.

In this way, they are no longer neighbors.

Suddenly, at this moment, Li Mu's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller's information.

It was Yun Rongshang calling.

Got the call.

"Yunxue...cough cough, student Yun, what can I do for you?"

He almost habitually called out "senior sister", but soon he stopped the car.

I am already a professor now, and I am still a full professor, so I have to pay attention to my identity.

"...For the sake of you becoming a professor, I won't argue with you."

After being speechless for a while, Yun Rongshang said, "However, Professor Li Da, you won't forget that you are going to find a house today, right?"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't forgotten."

Li Mu said.

A few days ago, he also told Yun Rongshang that he was looking for a house, so Yun Rongshang volunteered to take him to see a few places.

It was all the strategy she had done to rent a house before she came to the school, but in the end she snatched the dormitory of the college, so she lived directly in the postgraduate dormitory of the college.

"Okay, I'm already waiting at the gate of your academy, let's go and see it now!"

"I see, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, just as Li Mu put down the phone, Yisha next to him asked, "Is it the cloud?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded and told Yisha about going to see the house, and then asked out of politeness: "I'm leaving now, do you want to come with me?"

"Forget it, I won't bother you."

Isa shook her head.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then excuse me first."

Without saying much, he left the room, and Li Mu closed the door of his dormitory.

"I'm going back to my dormitory first." Yisha waved to Li Mu: "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Li Mu also waved his hand, and then left their dormitory building.

Seeing Li Mu's leaving back, Yisha shook her head lightly, and then returned to her dormitory.

It probably won't be long before she sees Li Mu, at least not as easily as she is now a neighbor.

At this time, she couldn't help but think, maybe sometimes, it's best to let go of persistence.

What's more, she is only a latecomer, and the one who came first has persisted for so long.

"I hope you can persevere until you succeed."

...

At the gate of the academy, Li Mu and Yun Rongshang met.

"Professor Li Da is good! The man who conquered Oxford and Cambridge also conquered Alice, Lucia, Sanjoni's amorous prodigal son."

As soon as the two met, Yun Rongshang said with a smile.

Obviously, she has already read those news. Of course, as a fellow villager who came here from Shanghai Jiaotong University with Li Mu, she is very clear that what is said in the news is all fake, all for the purpose of deceiving newspaper sales. technique.

But, she read it with great interest, and even subscribed to the electronic version of the next few issues of The Sun.

Li Mu: "...Student Yun, you should read less gossip news and more papers and books, otherwise it will be difficult for you to graduate in this situation."

Hearing this topic, Yun Rongshang waved his hands weakly: "Stop talking to me about graduation! I'm going to be annoyed to death by my thesis now."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Li Mu asked curiously, "Did you get squeezed by your mentor?"

Yun Rongshang said: "There is no oppression. My tutor is quite normal, but the subjects left for me are very difficult."

After speaking, she shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter, let's go first."

"What kind of house do you want to rent?"

"Let's go and have a look before we talk." Li Mu said, "It's close to the school, just be quiet."

"Okay, come with me~"

Afterwards, Yun Rongshang waved his hand, and the two left together.

...

Finding a home is, of course, a multifaceted process.

Although Li Mu didn't have too many demands, he had to think carefully.

So after looking at five houses in a row, he was not very satisfied.

"Oh, I didn't expect renting a house to be so difficult."

Emerging from a townhouse, both sighed.

Although this townhouse is very good in various conditions, the biggest shortcoming is that there is a problem with heating.

Winter is coming soon, and when it gets cold in the UK, it is really cold, so the heating must be guaranteed.

"Forget it, let's go to the next place, the next one must be better."

With that said, the two of them wanted to leave here.

But at this moment, Li Mu's cell phone rang again.

Glancing at the caller, one was unknown.

Li Mu answered the phone suspiciously, and heard an older voice from the opposite side: "Excuse me, are you Li Mu?"

Li Mu was taken aback: "It's me, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Vincent Round...Of course you haven't heard of my name, but you should have heard of Michael Attia."

"Michael Attia?"

Of course Li Mu had heard of this name.

Even, the popularity of this name in the mathematics world is second only to Grothendieck, the emperor of mathematics.

Michael Attia, considered one of the greatest contemporary mathematicians, winner of the Fields Medal, Abel Prize, President of the Royal Society...

He founded the topological K-theory, an important tool in algebraic topology, and the first important generalized cohomology theory in mathematics.

And his most famous achievement is the famous Attia-Singer index theorem proposed after cooperating with Aishador Singer in 1963. This theorem is widely used in differential equations, complex geometry, functional analysis and theoretical physics. Both have far-reaching applications and are recognized as one of the most important mathematical achievements of the 20th century.

In addition, his research on low-dimensional topology and infinite-dimensional manifold geometry has also had a profound impact on quantum field theory and string theory. To some extent, Edward Witten can be regarded as his student .

And the Fields Medal winner of All Souls College, Simon Downers, was also one of his students.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Mu not to know such a big cow in the mathematics world, but unfortunately, this big cow has passed away in 2019.

"Of course I know Sir Atiyah, but what do you mean?"

Vincent Round smiled: "Attia and I are old friends. When he passed away, he entrusted me to help him handle part of his real estate."

"And I just heard that you are looking for a house near Oxford University, so I contacted you."

"Attia told me that the house should be provided to young people who really love mathematics or physics, so I have been looking for such young people, but I have never found one."

"However, now, with your appearance, I can see the target."

"The house will be sold to you for one pound. It is only a few hundred meters away from the gate of Oxford University. It was once purchased by Attia when he was teaching at Oxford University. Believe me, you will never be wrong with this set The house was disappointed."

"You can come and see it now if you want."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment.

Michael Attia's estate?

Selling for a pound?

one pound...

One thing to say, this price gave him a sense of peace.

Is it really not a scam?

Of course, perhaps guessing what he was thinking, the other party said: "Of course, you may think this is fake, but your mentor Andrew Wiles knows about it, you can call and ask He, after you confirm, you can call me again."

"That's all for now, go and confirm."

The phone hung up.

Li Mu thought about it, and then called Wiles to inquire about it, but Wiles actually told him about it.

"Oh, you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it, you go, that house is really good, I've been there before, Atia is a great person, Vincent is also a good person, You can believe it."

Hearing Wiles' affirmation, what else can Li Mu say?

Dang even called Vincent.
