Chapter 828: The Career of Struggle
Professor Fred was amused by her words. He nodded at her forehead, shook his head and said with a smile: "Girl, you are speaking with more authority now..."
"You also trained me!" Nie Yao blinked and jokingly said, "Didn't you say you hoped I could inherit your archaeological career one day?"
"Yeah, so when your family brought you back before, I was a little worried!"
Professor Fred nodded slightly and sighed softly, "I know your family is wealthy. You've suffered a lot with me since you were little, and it's time for you to go back and enjoy life. Even if you really want to give up archaeology and return to be the daughter of the Nie family, I won't blame you..."
Without waiting for Professor Fred, Nie Yao quickly raised her hand and solemnly assured, "Dad, don't worry. I promised you before that I would never give up halfway through anything. Besides, archaeology is something I love, and it's a career I'm willing to devote my whole life to!"
"What about your Nie family..." Professor Fred asked with some concern.
"My biological father is still strong and healthy and can manage the company. Besides, I am not the only child in the Nie family. I also have a cousin who is a top student. After he finishes his studies, he can return and inherit the family business!"
Nie Yao shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, "So don't worry, even if I leave the Nie family, it doesn't mean there will be no successor to inherit the family business! My lifelong belief is in archaeology, and I will never give up!"
Professor Fred's eyes moistened at her decisive words. He patted her hands and said with a smile, "Good, good, you are worthy of being my daughter. I am really lucky to have found you and adopted you. I have made you my pride!"
"Dad, I'm also glad that you saved me back then. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today!"
Nie Yao's lips curled slightly as she said seriously, "But once I truly unearth the artifacts behind Queen Hatshepsut and the priest Senmut, and uncover the secrets that have been hidden for thousands of years, it won't be too late for you to say I'm your pride!"
"Haha, if you have ambition, then I'll be waiting for you to make a discovery that will shock the world!"
Professor Fred patted her shoulder, and only then, under her persuasion, did he leave the hot and dry canyon.
After seeing his adoptive father off, Nie Yao returned to the excavation site and began to explore the surrounding area with Steve and several other members of the archaeological team using instruments, and occasionally gave some instructions to the excavators.
Before they knew it, the sun was about to set and the sky was getting dark. Steve whispered to Nie Yao, "Senior, I think it's probably going to take another week. The canyon is too cold and gloomy at night to continue digging. Can you send the workers back and come back early tomorrow to work?"
Nie Yao thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "Alright, let's protect this area to prevent the wind from blowing at night and damaging the excavation site!"
After Nie Yao and Steve finished their instructions, the workers began to pack up their equipment and prepare to go home. Nie Yao saw that the weather was good tonight and said to Steve, "You go back first. I'll go buy some supplies later..."
"Senior, there's no need to be so troublesome. Leave the procurement of supplies to the workers, or ask these guards or protectors to help?" Steve suggested in a low voice.
"Those guards have to work in shifts around the clock to protect the excavation site. The workers are tired after a day's work, so how can they go shopping?"
