Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"Why, didn't Shengzhou University provide you with staff dormitories?"

"It is provided, but the staff dormitories are definitely not as comfortable as the houses outside. Before the school house comes down, I still have to rent a house nearby."

After hearing this, Ning Chen felt that Song Xiyun should indeed rent a house. Although the staff dormitory provided by Shengzhou University for teachers was large, the internal environment of the room was relatively ordinary. They were houses that had been lived in for many years, and there was nothing in it. Good supporting facilities.

If they are male employees, they may not have high requirements for the dormitory environment, but girls like Song Xiyun will definitely not be used to such an environment.

Song Xiyun had visited the community where Ning Chen lived before and was quite satisfied with the environment of the community. Moreover, it was very close to the school. You could enter the campus just a few steps downstairs.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen replied to Song Xiyun:

"Okay, when I see any houses for rent here, I will ask them for you. Song Xiyun, what are your requirements for a house?"

"Everything is fine. Can you rent a house in the community with a rent of several thousand yuan a month?"

Ning Chen was a little surprised when he saw the text sent by Song Xiyun.

To be able to afford a house with a rent of several thousand yuan a month just after graduation was something that Ning Chen thought was unbelievable.

Ning Chen remembered that when he just graduated in his previous life, he would not even consider a house with a rent of more than 1,000 yuan.

However, with Song Xiyun's salary and family conditions, renting a house worth several thousand yuan would not be too stressful.

"Of course, even if it is a house of more than 100 square meters, five or six thousand yuan a month is enough. But Song Xiyun, you live alone, there is no need to live in such a big house, right?"

"It's not necessary, but if you really don't have a small house, you can rent a bigger one first. I'll leave it to you. If I can't find a house, I'll have to borrow it from you first." !”

"Well, that's okay. It's not like I haven't lived here before."

However, Ning Chen also knew in his heart that it would be fine if Song Xiyun temporarily stayed at his place for a few days, but it would definitely not be good for him to stay at his place forever.

After chatting with Song Xiyun, Ning Chen thought about it and decided to ask Zhou Li to help him keep an eye on the rental information of nearby properties.

Although Ning Chen has lived here for a while, he doesn't actually have any familiar neighbors. He basically stays in the study and does research. Moreover, it is not popular to have various groups in the community now, so information exchange is relatively closed.

Zhou Li has lived here for a long time and knows many people, so she will definitely be better informed than Ning Chen.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen contacted Zhou Li and explained her request.

"No problem, Teacher Ning, I will help you keep an eye on it."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Zhou."

A few days later, Ning Chen got the news that Song Xiyun was coming to Shengzhou.

"Song Xiyun, why did you come to Shengzhou so soon?"

It's still some time before Song Xiyun officially joins the job, and Ning Chen hasn't helped Song Xiyun find a house yet.

"Everything at the school has been taken care of. I just want to come to Shengzhou as soon as possible to get familiar with the environment here and make preparations before officially joining the job. What, you don't welcome me?"

"Of course I'm welcome, but I haven't found a suitable house yet. You may have to suffer for a while first."

"What's wrong with me? I'm afraid you'll find me annoying if I stay there, which will affect your research work."

"That's not true. If you were here, I would still have a chance to eat some of the food at home."

Although Ning Chen usually likes to stay at home alone, Ning Chen really doesn't feel that Song Xiyun's presence here will affect him.

Because Song Xiyun really never disturbs herself. She usually just stays in the room quietly and does her own thing, and she knows how to control the situation very well.

"Okay, then I'm really not welcome."

On the day when Song Xiyun came to Shengzhou, Ning Chen drove his Passat to pick up Song Xiyun at Shengzhou International Airport.

When they met this time, the two gained a new identity as colleagues. Although they belonged to different colleges, they would at least work together on the same campus.

After the two of them had dinner outside, Ning Chen took Song Xiyun back to his home.

Ning Chen once again arranged Song Xiyun in the master bedroom. In fact, Ning Chen did not live in this bedroom at ordinary times. Ning Chen basically stayed in his study room all the time, which was more convenient for his research work.

"Ning Chen, didn't you think before that I would really come to work at Shengzhou University?" Song Xiyun said playfully.

"Yes, even if you have passed the interview, I'm not sure whether you will actually come here. Song Xiyun, your family knew that you came to work in Shengzhou, did they express any objection?"

Hearing Ning Chen's question, Song Xiyun replied with a somewhat embarrassed look:

"I make my own decisions, and my parents won't care about me."

In fact, Song Xiyun's parents did not want Song Xiyun to go to Shengzhou. After all, Song Xiyun graduated from Yenching University with a doctorate. There would inevitably be a big gap if she went to Shengzhou.

However, Song Xiyun does have full decision-making power in her own affairs. Even if her parents disagree, they can only talk about it. The final decision must be made by Song Xiyun herself.

At this time, Song Xiyun said:

"By the way, Ning Chen, I'm currently researching a new topic, and I'm going to submit the paper after I officially join the company. This is my first achievement after joining the company."

After hearing Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen immediately turned his attention to the topic.

"Really? Can you let me take a look first?"

"Of course. In fact, one of the reasons why I came to Shengzhou in advance was to study this topic with you."

With that said, Song Xiyun turned on the computer and showed Ning Chen her research topic.

After seeing the content of Song Xiyun's research, Ning Chen couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Is it a new mixed variational form of elliptic equations... It's really a good research direction."

This is a research field that belongs to partial differential equations. It also has certain application space in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetic field calculation, etc.

When Ning Chen carefully looked at some of Song Xiyun's research contents, he was very positive about them.

"Yes, I really didn't expect that Song Xiyun's current research level is so high. If you continue to work on this idea, although you won't be published in the four top journals in mathematics, there is still a good chance of publishing in other top journals."

Even when Yang Lianhua was young, he may not be as good as his contemporary Song Xiyun. The arrival of Song Xiyun is really likely to bring the mathematics department of Shengzhou University to a new height.

Next, Ning Chen shared some of his own suggestions with Song Xiyun based on his own ideas.

Listening to Ning Chen's suggestions, Song Xiyun nodded repeatedly. Obviously these suggestions provided Song Xiyun with many new ideas.

"You are worthy of being the winner of the Simmons Scholar Award. You are much better than my doctoral advisor."

Song Xiyun expressed her appreciation for Ning Chen from the bottom of her heart. If qualifications and status are put aside, Song Xiyun's mentor is definitely not comparable to Ning Chen in terms of academic ability and research results.

This is also an important reason why Song Xiyun hopes that she will come to Shengzhou University. As long as Ning Chen can give her some guidance occasionally, it will be of great help to Song Xiyun.

At this time, Song Xiyun suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Chen:

"By the way, Ning Chen, how are you doing on the research topic on the Navier-Stokes equation? Ever since you published your first paper, I have been waiting for the subsequent papers."

Song Xiyun felt that Ning Chen might divide the entire large topic into three papers and publish them as he did before to solve Qiu Chengtong's conjecture.

But this time, Song Xiyun did not wait until Ning Chen published the subsequent paper, and the time interval was indeed a bit long.

Ning Chenxin said that he has completely solved the problems related to the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equation, and even built a quantum computer for this purpose.

If Ning Chen told Song Xiyun all the achievements he had made, I don't know what kind of reaction Song Xiyun would have.

But after all, this result is still under confidentiality. Even Song Xiyun, Ning Chen will not reveal anything to her.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen said calmly:

"This problem is not as easy to solve as imagined. Maybe it will take a few years before I can completely solve the research problem of Navier-Stokes equations."

"Well, it doesn't matter. No one has solved this problem for more than a hundred years. It must not be that easy to solve. Ning Chen, you don't have to be discouraged by this. It is normal to experience some setbacks on the road of research. "

Seeing Song Xiyun trying to comfort herself, Ning Chen resisted the urge to laugh and tried to look slightly melancholy.

In this way, when Ning Chen went to the laboratory during the day, Song Xiyun would also take his materials to the study room. In the evening, after the two went for a night run together, they returned home together.

Such days seemed peaceful and fulfilling. Ning Chen really had some hope in his heart that such a life could continue.

On this day, when Ning Chen was doing experiments in the laboratory, he suddenly saw Xu Zhou walking over quickly, looking a little excited.

"Ning Chen, something big happened!"

Ning Chen had never seen Xu Zhou in such a panic and asked quickly:

"Teacher Xu, what happened?"

Looking at Xu Zhou's appearance, Ning Chen wondered if it was something like aliens visiting the earth, or if some kind of war suddenly broke out.
