Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Despising Deceit, Bai Chuwei Takes the Stage

This was an audio message sent out brazenly without even bothering to be anonymous.

The female voice in the recording was quite angry, filled with fury.

Many classmates could tell that this was Ning Yumeng’s voice.

It wasn’t their fault they recognized it; it was simply because Ning Yumeng had previously gained fame throughout the archaeology department for her distinctive way of speaking. It was hard not to remember her voice.

The instructor was startled, having never seen such a forthright student, and hurriedly posted another message in the group:

"@All members, if you have objections to the list for follow-up, please message me privately."

Ning Yumeng’s anger intensified when she saw this, and in her dorm room, she kicked her suitcase over in frustration, startling her two roommates who were also packing to go home for the winter break.

"Covering up will only reveal more! Why should I message you privately?"

Ning Yumeng felt even more displeased as she had just meticulously reviewed the transcripts of everyone in the department. Coincidentally, she and Bai Chuwei both had 92 points, tying for fifth place in their grade.

Because Bai Chuwei’s surname started with a ’B’, and hers with an ’N’, her name was listed just below Bai Chuwei’s. But they were both in fifth place.

[Ning Yumeng: I think it’s unfair. Bai Chuwei and I have the same ranking; why can she go and not me? I have more awards in the archaeology department than Bai Chuwei!]

She was also a teaching assistant for a relevant course, securing about a dozen awards in the department that semester, while Bai Chuwei? She seemed to rise above such things, not holding any class committee positions, nor participating in any school-organized contests – she didn’t have a single award to her name.

And since this was an internship activity for the archaeology department, it should be based on archaeological merit.

Bai Chuwei was well-known across the university and even throughout China, but that was all because she was the "Immortal Teacher," famous for her astounding inventions on "Super Brain Scholar." Yet, what did all that have to do with archaeology?

When it came to the actual archaeology department, Bai Chuwei was a rather inconspicuous student – neither remarkable nor terrible, without even a single archaeology award to her name.

Under such circumstances, why should Bai Chuwei be chosen, and not her?

The other students weren’t fools either; seeing Ning Yumeng’s questioning in the group, they almost outright asked if Bai Chuwei was using backdoor connections.

...This meant trouble for Bai Chuwei, didn’t it?

The instructor was inwardly upset. Imperial University was China’s top institution, and the century-old school rules established by Ms. Bai included one that strictly forbade any deceit or fraud.

The professors of the archaeology department were too proud and aloof to stoop to giving a student an unfair advantage!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been eager to give Bai Chuwei extra lessons before.

[Instructor: @Ning Yumeng, if you have objections, let’s discuss them privately, and I can explain the reasons to you.]

If it weren’t for the president’s prior instructions, the instructor nearly wished she could reveal the reasons to everyone in the group!

Ning Yumeng’s lips curled in a cold sneer, tinged with mockery.

If there were legitimate reasons, why not announce them in the group? Doesn’t this imply that the reasons are somewhat shameful?

Wasn’t that just a way of using connections?

[Bai Chuwei: If Ning Yumeng wants to go, let her go. I just won’t attend.]

Visiting Emperor Duanjing’s mausoleum wasn’t something new for her, nor was participating in an archaeology dig a big deal.

It might be better to go back to Haicheng and enjoy the winter break, perhaps spend some quality time training with Hanhan, and who knows... maybe stumble upon something else?

Ning Yumeng saw this and her eyes filled with rage. Who needed Bai Chuwei’s charity? The opportunity should have been hers from the start!

"No, you must accompany our professors on the archaeological dig, Bai!"
