Chapter 866: Intercession
Vanessa didn't answer. Nie Yao also walked over at this time, smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, calm down first. I think no one wants to see the collapse accident yesterday. Fortunately, the workers were only injured..."
As she spoke, she handed several bottles of ice water to the archaeological team leader and others in front of her. When it was Vanessa's turn, Vanessa gave Nie Yao a cold look, thinking that Nie Yao was there to laugh at her, and did not take the water she handed her.
Nie Yao didn't take it seriously and took back the iced mineral water that was handed to her.
Seeing Nie Yao approaching, the archaeological team leader's expression brightened slightly. He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips, his anger subsiding considerably. He said to Nie Yao, "Miss Nie, I know you stayed at the scene the entire night, offering advice on how to save people and even asking your excavators to come over and help. I'm really grateful to you..."
"Yes, thank you, Miss Nie. We all heard about it. If it weren't for Miss Nie and the workers you brought with you to come up with a good plan and go down to rescue them together, someone might have died!"
The other members of the archaeological team also thanked Nie Yao with gratitude.
Nie Yao waved her hand dismissively and replied with a smile, "No need to be so polite, everyone. We're all working on the same archaeological project, and I don't want an accident to happen so soon after we begin. Human lives are at stake, so just rescue them!"
Seeing her captain and teammates surrounding Nie Yao to express their gratitude, Vanessa's expression became even uglier compared to their criticism of her just now. She couldn't help but snort coldly, "Are you coming here now to take credit, or to watch the fun?"
The archaeology team leader also heard her mumbling and was about to lose his temper when Nie Yao smiled and said, "I just heard that you guys are going to suspend the project. What's going on?"
"Ms. Nie, we have been criticized by the committee. We must complete the inspection and confirm that there are no safety hazards before we can continue work!" The archaeological team leader hurriedly explained politely to Nie Yao.
"That's understandable..." Nie Yao nodded in understanding. She looked at Vanessa, who looked unhappy, and smiled at the archaeological team leader. "But I think that even though Miss Vanessa Campbell made a mistake, she doesn't need to be expelled from the archaeological team!"
Hearing what Nie Yao said, the archaeological team leader and other members looked at Nie Yao in surprise. They never expected that she would take the initiative to speak and plead for Vanessa!
After all, they had seen with their own eyes before that Vanessa was sarcastic and said a lot of unpleasant things to Nie Yao.
Even Vanessa herself was stunned for a moment, and even thought that she had heard it wrong. Would this Nie Yao speak for her?
"Ms. Nie, I don't understand..." the archaeological team leader said hesitantly.
Nie Yao smiled faintly and explained in a low voice: "I know that Vanessa has some misunderstandings about me, but I don't care. After all, in this line of work, we rely on real ability to speak. But I don't think Vanessa did it on purpose for the accident yesterday..."
She paused here and continued, "That's why I want to advise you, Captain, to reconsider this. After all, she's experienced and has a deep understanding of Egyptian culture..."
Seeing Nie Yao take the initiative to plead for Vanessa, the archaeological team leader hesitated. Another member couldn't help but say, "Miss Nie, she's experienced, but she still got into trouble. I think she's a bit of a boaster!"
