Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Lost Face in Front of Hundreds of People

Who would have imagined that the director of the Imperial Capital Cultural Museum, the president, and a host of Imperial University students would bow so deeply?

She remembered that, decades ago, the director of the Imperial Capital Cultural Museum had also come from the Archaeology major at Imperial Capital University! Truly the most illustrious senior from the Archaeology major.

Ning Yumeng stared at her phone’s video, dumbstruck, muttering to herself, "Trophy? A custom trophy?"

A trophy specially customized for Bai Chuwei by the Imperial Capital Cultural Museum!

Such an ostentatious display... frighteningly grand!

You must know that cultured people are notoriously aloof; hearing words like "admiration" or "gratitude" from their mouths is as hard as seeking heaven, let alone seeing them bow and customize trophies, with the director personally bringing a silk banner to Imperial University.

Ning Yumeng lowered her eyelids, looking at the certificates on her desk, her face suddenly burning as if it were on fire.

All of these little certificates, even a hundred of them, combined, didn’t have the weight of Bai Chuwei’s single trophy.

Ning Yumeng caught a glimpse of her two other roommates, who had already packed their bags, looking at her with extremely awkward expressions, making her even more agitated.

Clearly her two roommates had also seen the video that was posted in the group.

This... this was like asking for humiliation, wasn’t it?

Obviously, the president, professors, and advisors from the Archaeology major all knew that the director of the Imperial Capital Cultural Museum was coming, and they planned to make it big news, so it had been a secret until now.

The advisor knew the reason, so she had always been asking her to explain in a private chat, wanting to give her a way out, but she kept on being unyielding in the group chat, full of insinuations and innuendos.

Now, well... everyone knew that the trophy Bai Chuwei received outweighed all her certifications and was enough to trample over her.

Ning Yumeng looked at the messages she had sent in the group, wanting to cry but with no tears.

It had been more than 2 minutes; she could no longer retract her messages.

Now, looking back at those sarcastic memes filled with snide remarks, she wanted to cry.

Her actions did not seem to expose campus corruption, but rather made her look like a jerk...

Ning Yumeng felt so stifled inside, almost impulsively quitting the group in a fit of embarrassment—it was too shameful.

The whole freshman class of the Archaeology major, over a hundred people, were in it, and now they were probably laughing her to death.

Imperial University students taking shortcuts in their admission?

Sorry, that does not exist, because it simply does not fit the rules established by Madam Bai at the beginning.

"Wahhhh—" Ning Yumeng couldn’t hold back any longer and collapsed onto her desk, wailing and crying, utterly humiliated.

The two roommates exchanged awkward smiles and quickly grabbed their suitcases to leave the dorm, ready to go home for the winter break.

The president had long wanted to make a splash, and Bai Chuwei’s donation of hundreds of renowned calligraphy and painting pieces to the Imperial Capital Cultural Museum was just the ticket. Knowing that the museum director would visit in person today, he had already had the Journalism students prepare to do their interviews and photography.

But before the official Imperial University Weibo account had time to release these videos, they had already spread across the entire internet.

Especially that deep bow, which was eye-popping!

[In my lifetime, oh, in my lifetime! Damn, I used to think it was awesome to earn the admiration of the top students of the number one university, but the ’Immortal Teacher’ is even more amazing—having the museum director personally come to give thanks and present a custom trophy.]

[Real big spender, I’ve seen art donations before, but never hundreds of pieces all at once. @Imperial Capital Cultural Museum, might as well erect a statue of Bai Chuwei at the museum entrance. ]

[To the one above, your words have enlightened me. I’ve always felt a strange resemblance between Bai Chuwei and the silhouette statue of Madam Bai at Imperial University!]
