Chapter 174 The Abel Prize

"Are you classmate Li Mo?"

Early in the morning, Li Mo was woken up by a call from 0047xxxx, which is the telephone area code of Norway.

Isn’t the paper published? Is there anything else going on at the magazine?

"I am, who are you?"

"This is the Royal Norwegian Academy of Sciences. Congratulations on winning this year's Abel Prize............."

Abel Prize? Abel Prize!....Abel Prize....

Li Mo, who was self-possessed and composed, was shocked that he actually won the Abel Prize, the Abel Prize known as the Nobel Prize in Mathematics, the Abel Prize second only to the Fitz Prize.

"Hello, sir, are you still there?"

Li Mo came back to his senses and said, "Yes, please speak."

"This year's Abel Prize award ceremony is expected to be held on July 1 at the Royal Auditorium in Norway. We hope you will attend on time."

"Do I need to pay in advance?" Li Mo suddenly asked.

"Pay the fee?" The staff on the other side of the phone was a little confused, "Of course not, we will send the invitation letter and air tickets to you by mail later. And at the award ceremony, you will receive 6 million Norwegian kroner.

bonus."

After thinking for a moment, he whispered again: "Let me tell you quietly, the Royal Norwegian Academy of Sciences will provide you with free food and accommodation throughout the journey, and you can also invite 5 guests to accompany you."

"The air tickets, food and accommodation for these guests are also free, you can..."

Li Mo was a little dumbfounded. He just asked about the cost to make sure it was not a phone scam.

This enthusiastic staff member actually "instigated" him to sell his guest spot.

It seems that the poverty of mathematicians is well known to everyone.

"Thank you for the invitation from the awards committee. I will definitely see you on time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mo clenched his fists and cheered, the system task was about to be completed.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Xia Qing heard the noise and opened the door.

Li Mo made an invitation gesture, "Miss Xia Qing, are you interested in traveling to Norway?"

Two colorful clouds climbed onto Xia Qing's fair cheeks, and she asked coyly: "Isn't it good for just the two of us to go?"

Li Mo patted his head and said, "What are you thinking? I'm going to receive the award. There are 5 places. You are the first person I invite."

Xia Qing was immediately disappointed, but think about it, she was the first one invited by the boss.

What is certain is that she ranks first in the boss's heart.

Yes, that’s it!

A bright smile appeared on her face again, "When will I go and what do I need to prepare?"

As an assistant, she is used to preparing everything in advance.

Li Mo shook his head and said, "No need to prepare anything. All food and accommodation are included in the award ceremony."

Although the boss told her that there was no need to prepare, Xia Qing decided to prepare some beautiful clothes. Then she would wear beautiful clothes and bathe in the Nordic sea breeze...

Li Mo looked at Xia Qing in a daze with a smile on her face and knew that she must be "daydreaming".

He shook his head and walked out of the dormitory.

He wanted to tell the teacher the good news in person.

Mathematics Department, 2nd Floor

"Li Mo is here."

"When will Li Mo go to my class and tutor your junior students who are not enlightened?"

Li Mo is now a celebrity in the mathematics department. When he passes by the offices of professors, many people come up to say hello.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you go back and prepare for class?" Professor Wu heard someone outside mentioning his students and rushed out of the office.

It's so dangerous, these old antiques are so shameless, even my old Wu students want to abduct them.

Naturally, he thought the professors who greeted him had ulterior motives.

If you want to compete with me for students, there is no way. I, Old Wu, am the one who dares to sell magazines in Qing Dynasty.

"Li Mo, why are you so free today?" Professor Wu pulled his student into the office.

Pour the tea.

He also knew that doing so seemed a little low-attitude. Who asked this student to make himself proud so many times?

"Teacher, do you want to travel to Norway? With free food and accommodation." Li Mo took the tea with a smile.

Good luck, why not travel to Norway? Oh my God, have your students fallen?

No, no.

Norway......

It’s the end of June now, what’s in store for Norway in July?

Professor Wu's eyes lit up, "Abel? Did Abel call you?"

July is the time when this year’s Abel Prize is awarded.

"If Abel didn't call, how could Abel call?"

"It was the Royal Norwegian Academy of Sciences calling to inform me that I won this year's Abel Prize."

My teacher seemed extremely happy that Abel had been dead for hundreds of years.

"Really?"

Li Mo nodded.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Great!" Professor Wu said all the words of praise that he could think of. He now truly understood what it means to be a teacher and a parent.

Even if I won the Abel Prize, my excitement level would only be that much.

"Convert with limo?" After the excitement, he asked.

"Convert with limo!" Li Mo replied.

After finally getting out of the mathematics department, Li Mo shook his head helplessly. He admired the teacher more and more.

Professor Wu actually ran to other offices and dragged every professor, "My student won the Abel Prize, and I am going to Norway."

...........

In the end, Li Mo managed to escape from those professors.

He took out his phone and dialed his home number.

"Hey, mom, I'm Li Mo. How are you doing recently?"

My mother's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Mer, why are you so free today? You don't have to worry about your father's and mine health."

"Your father is currently employed as a casualty in the factory. All he has to do is keep an eye on the apprentices every day."

"I heard that the air quality over there has been bad recently. You must wear a mask when you go out."

"I know you are very busy doing scientific research, but you must pay attention to your health."

.........

"Mo'er?"

"Mo'er, why don't you speak?"

Li Mo on the phone had tears in his eyes. He felt that he was not a good son and cared too little about his parents.

"I...your son recently won an international award, and the award-winning party provided food and accommodation. So I would like to invite you to go together."

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Where are you going?" his mother asked.

"Norway, a country in Northern Europe." Li Mo explained.

"I want to go abroad. I won't go, I won't go. Besides, there are educated people there. Your father and I have never seen the world. You will be embarrassed," his mother said.

"It's okay, you and my dad have never been abroad. Besides, this is a free quota provided by the award organizer. If you don't go, it will be wasted." Li Mo knew that his mother hated waste.

Sure enough, there was a burst of noise on the phone, they were probably discussing.

"Okay then, your dad agrees to go."

“Do I need a passport to go abroad?”

It seems that my mother knows a lot

Li Mo said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll ask someone to help you."

Hang up the phone.
