Chapter 793: Questions from colleagues
Seeing her indifferent attitude, the blonde woman couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She said coldly, "What's with that expression? The fact that I'm here means I'm qualified. I majored in Egyptology and also minored in archaeological anthropology. This time, I'm here to participate in this ancient artifact research on behalf of the British Museum!"
She spoke of her resume with some pride. Nie Yao nodded slightly and replied with a faint smile, "Well, I know that those who came here this time to participate in this ancient artifact research are all elites from various countries!"
In fact, when she went to the Ministry of Cultural Relics with Li Jinxing and was received by the head of the Supreme Cultural Relics Committee, there were already many Egyptian experts and elite scholars present. It was just that there were too many people and it was difficult for her to recognize them all at once, and some people were probably not there!
However, upon hearing her resume, Nie Yao suddenly remembered that she had visited Oxford University with her adoptive father before, and it seemed that this woman named Vanessa was among the guests. No wonder she looked familiar...
"That's good to know!" Vanessa sneered, looked at Nie Yao in front of her coldly, and said bluntly, "Everyone who can come here to participate in antiquities research must be a famous expert or scholar in Egyptology. What qualifications do you have to stand here?"
Nie Yao was amused by her convincing words. She shook her head and asked in amusement, "Whether I'm qualified or not, it seems that it's not up to you to decide!"
Vanessa frowned slightly, sizing her up for a long moment before sneering, "Yes, I know you rely on Professor Fred... If I'm guessing correctly, you're his adopted daughter! Professor Fred is indeed an authority in Egyptian archaeology, but you, you haven't accomplished anything at all. You're relying on nepotism to get by. How shameful!"
Originally, Nie Yao didn't care much about this woman named Vanessa, but since she suddenly targeted her, Nie Yao didn't want to be nice to her.
"Ms. Campbell, are you humiliating me or Professor Fred when you say this?"
Nie Yao looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, he is my adoptive father. He has given me a lot of guidance in my life and studies. It is because of his guidance that I became interested in archaeology. But it doesn't mean that I have come this far because of my adoptive father's relationship. So you'd better take back what you said just now!"
"Are you planning to use your status as an adoptive father to warn me?" Vanessa raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Your name is Ivy, right? I know you haven't even finished your studies yet, and you haven't even earned a master's or doctorate. Aren't you ashamed to be standing here?"
Without waiting for Nie Yao to answer, Vanessa continued aggressively, "I heard you're going to set up your own archaeological team? What a joke! With your qualifications, you'd better go back and study hard instead of embarrassing yourself..."
"Yes, I didn't finish my studies, but who said you have to have a doctorate to participate in an archaeological project?"
Nie Yao said this and looked at her with amusement: "As for the establishment of an archaeological team, I have already signed an archaeological cooperation agreement with the head of the Cultural Relics Committee. If you are really not convinced, you can go ask that person in charge!"
Seeing that there was a hint of sarcasm in Nie Yao's smile, Vanessa was so angry that her face turned blue, and there was even more jealousy in her eyes when she looked at her.
