As soon as the weekend passed, Lu Zhou's office became lively again.
Assistant Zhao said that Professor Lu had something important to announce. Thus, all of the students in the research project group got up early, ate their breakfast, and rushed into the office.
"Allow me to introduce our new group member," Lu Zhou said as he patted the shoulder of the strange man standing next to him. Lu Zhou looked at the astonished students and cleared his throat. He said, "This is Professor Perelman, a mathematician from St. Petersburg. He will stay here for the rest of the year… if we can finish the Grand Unified Theory by the end of the year."
The office went silent for a few seconds.
Then, a pen fell onto the ground.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the office exploded.
"What! Perelman? The… big name that solved the Poincaré conjecture?"
"No way… I heard he quit mathematics?"
Perelman!
