When Li Mu said this, Isa immediately became indignant, "I thought what was written in this newspaper was true! How dare they do this!"
"That's what these news media are like, let alone The Sun." Li Mu shook his head: "Do you know how to report them? Or the channels for prosecution."
"Just leave this matter to me." Isa immediately patted her chest: "Don't worry, they will never continue to post next time. I will let them come and apologize to you."
Li Mu was stunned: "You will let them come and apologize to me?"
"Oh... I know a friend who can help, don't worry!"
Isa explained, then changed the subject and said with a smile: "But having said that, I obviously wanted to enroll before you, but now you have graduated first, and I don't know how long it will take for me to graduate. Ah, the graduation thesis is such a headache."
"As for graduation thesis..."
Li Mu touched his chin. Is it a headache?
He didn't feel it.
After all, he didn't even write his thesis.
Of course, he still said: "Just take your time. Finding a good topic is the most important thing. For example, prove his conjecture first."
Isa: "..."
You really know how to joke.
"Forget it, let's ignore this kind of thing for now. I will call you professor from now on."
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 next to the bed and said, "No, I have packed all my clothes and will be going to find a house soon."
Since 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 one-month grace period, allowing him to find a house within a month, and then he could move out.
"That's it..."
Regret showed on Isa's face.
In this way, they are no longer neighbors.
Suddenly, at this moment, Li Mu's cell phone rang.
I took a look at the caller's information.
It was Yun Rongshang's call.
The call was answered.
"Xue Yun...cough cough, classmate Yun, do you have anything to do with me?"
He almost shouted "senpai" out of habit, but he quickly stopped the car.
I am now a professor, and a full professor at that, so I have to pay attention to my status.
"...Since you have become a professor, I won't argue with you."
Yun Rongshang was speechless for a while, then she said, "But Professor Li Da, you haven't forgotten that you are going to find a house today, right?"
"I haven't forgotten. Of course I haven't."
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 several places.
They were all strategies she had made to rent a house before coming to the school, but in the end, because she grabbed the college's dormitory, she lived directly in the college's graduate dormitory.
"Okay, I'm already waiting at the entrance of your college. Let's go see it now!"
"I know, I'll be right away."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu just put down the phone when Isha next to him asked: "Is it Yun?"
"Yes." Li Mu nodded, told Isa about his plan to see the house, and then asked politely: "I'm leaving now, will you come with me?"
"Forget it, I won't bother you anymore."
Isa shook her head.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I'll excuse you now."
Without saying much, Li Mu left the room and closed his dormitory door.
"I'm going back to my dormitory first." Isha waved to Li Mu: "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Li Mu also waved and left their dormitory building.
Looking at Li Mu's leaving figure, Isha shook her head gently and then returned to her dormitory.
It will probably be difficult for her to see Li Mu before long, at least not as easy as it is now as a neighbor.
At this time, she couldn't help but think that maybe sometimes it was best to give up her persistence.
What's more, she is only a latecomer, and the person who came first has persisted for so long.
"I hope you can persist until you succeed."
…
At the gate of the college, Li Mu and Yun Rongshang met.
"How are you, Professor Li Da! He has conquered the men of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as the passionate prodigal sons of Alice, Lucia, and Sanjoni."
As soon as the two met, Yun Rongshang said with a smile.
Obviously, she has also read the news. Of course, as a fellow who came here from Shanghai Jiaotong University with Li Mu, she knows very well that the news is all fake and is all for the purpose of defrauding newspaper sales. Technique.
However, she read it with great interest, and even specially ordered the electronic version of the next few issues of The Sun.
Li Mu: "...Student Yun, you should read less gossip news and read more papers and books. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to graduate in this situation."
Hearing this topic, Yun Rongshang waved her hands feebly: "Don't mention graduation to me! I'm bored to death with the thesis now."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Li Mu asked curiously, "Were you exploited by your mentor?"
Yun Rongshang said: "There is no pressure. My tutor is relatively normal, but the topics he gave me are very difficult."
As she said that, 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 take a look first and then 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 of them left together.
…
Looking for a house is naturally a matter that requires many considerations.
Although Li Mu didn't have many requirements, he still had to consider it 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."
Walking out of a townhouse, both of them sighed.
Although this townhouse is in good condition in all aspects, its biggest drawback is the heating problem.
Winter is coming soon, and when it gets cold in the UK, it gets really cold, so you must have some guarantees on heating.
"Forget it, let's go to the next place. The next one will be better."
With that said, the two of them were leaving here.
But at this moment, Li Mu's cell phone rang again.
I glanced at the caller and saw someone I didn’t recognize.
Li Mu answered the phone in confusion and heard an older voice coming from the other side: "Are you Li Mu?"
Li Mu was stunned: "It's me, who are you?"
"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 has heard of this name.
Even the popularity of this name in the mathematics world is second only to Grothendieck, the mathematical emperor.
Michael Attiyah is considered one of the greatest contemporary mathematicians, winner of the Fields Medal and Abel Prize, and president of the Royal Society...
He founded topological K-theory, an important tool in algebraic topology and the first important generalized homology theory in mathematics.
His most famous achievement is the famous Atiyah-Singer index theorem proposed in 1963 after collaborating with Ishadur Singh. This theorem is widely used in differential equations, complex geometry, functional analysis and theoretical physics. It has far-reaching applications and is 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 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 from All Souls College, Simon Downers, was also one of his students.
Therefore, it is certainly impossible for Li Mu not to know such a great man in the field of mathematics, but unfortunately, this great man passed away in 2019.
"Of course I know Sir Atiyah, but what do you mean?"
Vincent Round smiled: "Attiya and I are old friends. When he passed away, he entrusted me to help him handle some of his properties."
"And I just heard that you were looking for a house near Oxford University, so I contacted you."
"Attiyah told me that we should provide houses to young people who really love mathematics or physics, so I have been looking for such young people, but I have never found them."
"But now, your appearance makes me see the goal."
"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 Attiyah when he was teaching at Oxford University. Believe me, you will never be interested in this house. The house is disappointed.”
"You can come and see it now if you want."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
Michael Attia's estate?
Sold for a pound?
One pound...
To put it bluntly, the price gave him a feeling of coexistence.
Isn't it really a scam?
Of course, perhaps guessing what he was thinking, the other party said: "Of course, you may think this is false, but your mentor, Andrew Wiles, knows about this. You can call and ask He, after you confirm, you can call me again."
"That's all for now, go and confirm."
The phone was hung up.
Li Mu thought for a while and called Wiles to ask about it. In the end, Wiles actually told him about it.
"Oh, if you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it. Go quickly. That house is really nice. I've been there before. Attia is a great person and Vincent is also a good person. You can believe it.”
Hearing Wiles's affirmation, what else could Li Mu say?
Dang even called Vincent.
