Chapter 719 Li Jinxing’s Request
Li Jinxing was in no rush to sign. Instead, he smiled and said to the person in charge, with whom he had already communicated on the phone, "I hope that what I promised me on the phone is still valid. I will donate this ancestral cultural relic to your Cultural Relics Department. I also hope that you and my fiancée will sign an archaeological cooperation agreement, agreeing that she can lead the archaeological team to settle here!"
"Mr. Li, given that Miss Nie is still young and lacks sufficient qualifications, I'm afraid she can't lead the archaeological team. However, I agree to let her participate in the archaeological work related to this cultural relic..."
After the person in charge finished speaking, he politely explained to Li Jinxing, "If this artifact is confirmed to be a collection from the time of Queen Hasselblad that has yet to be excavated, then this archaeological work will be the most important in recent years. We need an experienced expert to lead it, such as an authority like Professor Fred..."
"Nie Yao is Professor Fred's favorite disciple, and the archaeological team also has Professor Fred as a special instructor!" Li Jinxing frowned slightly and reminded in a deep voice.
"I know, but only an authoritative leader like Professor Fred can convince the people!" the person in charge explained apologetically.
Professor Fred, who was standing by, also stood up with Steve's help and said slowly, "I'm old, I'm afraid I can't lead the team on site..."
"In this case, we will appoint an expert to lead the team..." The person in charge glanced at the people present, all of whom were elites among archaeologists, and was about to appoint one of them when Li Jinxing spoke with a cold face.
"I think we've already discussed this over the phone. If Nie Yao can't lead the team, then today's handover ceremony will probably have to be postponed!"
Li Jinxing answered bluntly, and the expression of the person in charge of cultural relics instantly became a little stiff, and the others present could not help but whisper to each other.
"Mr. Li's ideas are too paranoid..."
"Yeah, he insisted on letting a young person lead the team just because she's his fiancée. That's not good..."
"None of us here is more experienced than her. It's not her turn as a little girl to lead the team..."
"But you've also seen his attitude. He insists that Professor Fred's adopted daughter lead the team. Otherwise, he probably won't agree to donate this important artifact..."
The person in charge also looked unhappy, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Professor Fred frowned slightly. He knew that his adopted daughter might not be qualified in the eyes of many people. Moreover, this archaeological work might be a very important discovery in history!
Precisely because of the importance of this cultural relic, many archaeologists hope to have the opportunity to lead the team, but he also knows that if it weren't for Ivy, the Li family would probably not be willing to donate such an important cultural relic!
Professor Fred thought about this, cleared his throat, and slowly said, "I am indeed old, but Mr. Li's donation of cultural relics this time caused many twists and turns. It was thanks to Ivy's intervention that the Li family was willing to donate this important cultural relic back to Egypt. So I hope that you can take this into consideration..."
At this moment, Nie Yao looked at the elders who were somewhat skeptical of her, and said in a deep voice, word by word, "Perhaps my qualifications are indeed lacking compared to everyone here, and I am considered young compared to you all, but I have also been to many archaeological sites with my adoptive father. This time, the archaeological excavation is from the time of Queen Hasselblad, and I have done some in-depth research. I hope the person in charge will give me such an opportunity!"
