Chapter 720 Confidentiality
The person in charge was still hesitant, so the old Egyptian curator, Tawfik, smiled and suggested, "How about this? We set up two archaeological teams. One will be led by Nie Yao, with Professor Fred as the accompanying expert guide. The other archaeological team will be composed of members selected by us. When the time comes, we can conduct excavations and research separately and share any discoveries together!"
The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief after the old curator made this suggestion. He smiled and nodded in agreement. Although the others were still somewhat dissatisfied with Nie Yao, they finally agreed to the proposal.
So Li Jinxing and Nie Yao signed two agreements, one for the transfer of cultural relics and the other for an archaeological cooperation agreement...
After Li Jinxing and Nie Yao signed the two contracts, the head of the Cultural Relics Committee smiled and shook hands with Li Jinxing again, saying in a low voice, "Mr. Li, thank you again for your donation. If you need anything during your stay in Egypt, please let us know!"
"No need to thank me. I just hope you can confirm whether this cultural relic is from the period of Queen Hasselblad, and then start the archaeological excavation work as soon as possible!" Li Jinxing replied with a faint smile.
"Okay, we'll definitely get started as soon as possible..." The person in charge said this, then remembered something and added, "Also, we've kept your previous request in mind. I'm sure Mr. Li saw the officer who escorted you here. He and his soldiers will be responsible for your safety during this period!"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly as a response.
"Today's meeting ends here for now. Please go back to the hotel and have a good rest. We will call you back for another meeting after the appraisal results come out!" The person in charge said with a smile to Li Jinxing, Nie Yao and his group.
"Okay, we'll wait for news at any time!" Nie Yao and her adoptive father Professor Fred nodded and smiled.
After Steve helped Professor Fred leave, Nie Yao walked up to the head of the Cultural Relics Department and whispered, "The last time Li Jinxing was assassinated in Egypt, the identity of the perpetrators is currently unknown, but we are certain they are after this artifact. So please keep the information about this artifact confidential. When we carry out archaeological work, we must also keep it confidential until we catch them!"
"Don't worry, Miss Nie. We will not announce today's handover ceremony to the public, and we will not hold a press conference for this archaeological excavation!" The person in charge nodded and promised.
Only then did Nie Yao feel relieved. She and Li Jinxing looked at each other, and then they left the building hand in hand with the agreement.
The military vehicle still led the way, followed by several cars, carrying Li Jinxing, Nie Yao and his group, and drove towards the garden hotel villa area not far away.
Seeing the huge Garden Hotel Villa area, Nie Yao was surprised to see so few tourists. She looked up at Li Jinxing and asked, "Have all the tourists been cleared out?"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly and explained with a faint smile: "Well, after I communicated my needs with their person in charge, they agreed..."
"Wouldn't that be a bad idea..." Nie Yao hesitated. They were here to do archaeology, not to act like a big shot...
"How could that be? Even though the tourists have cleared out, I covered all the expenses. There's no loss for the hotel. On the contrary, there are fewer rooms to clean. The hotel owner couldn't be happier!"
