Consider an $n\times{n}$ grid formed by $n^2$ unit squares. We define the centre of a unit square as the intersection of its diagonals. Find the smallest integer $m$ such that, choosing any $m$ unit squares in the grid, we always get four unit squares among them whose centres are vertices of a parallelogram.
