Imperial Treasure-Chapter 960 - 578: The Nation Needs You

Sui Yi did not know the eldest son of the Jiang family. Even in the peculiar and unusual atmosphere within that conference room at Qing University, where this tall and aloof young man delivered a fierce and sharp blow to Bai Yuanxiu without any personal feelings, she did not pay much attention. It wasn’t because he wasn’t noticeable or outstanding enough, but because his stance was solely aligned with Gu Jiangbai’s political position, perhaps later mixed with Mo Ke’s affairs. That was their struggle, and Sui Yi was well aware, so she did not deliberately pay attention.

Now, he sat upright in front of her, with a restrained and rigid expression and tone, uttering: "Hello, Your Excellency Sui Yi."

Quite formulaic.

Sui Yi nodded slightly and looked at Old Master Ye: "Can I still help translate that document?"

Old Master Ye grinned, nodded, pulled out a thick stack of documents from the drawer, looked at Jiang Bielin, and said with a smile: "They have their matters to attend to. I’m afraid I have to help them for a while first. You just take a look yourself." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Their matters are different from ours.

Clear demarcation.

Also a warning to Yue Beiqing and others not to overreach and "involve" his guest.

This remark caused Yue Beiqing to raise an eyebrow, and the expressions of the others varied slightly.

The two assistants frowned. One of them hesitated but still said: "Professor Ye, is it possible for us to take a look at this stack of documents, perhaps..."

"Rest assured, it has nothing to do with your matters. It’s just some documents about the stolen imperial tomb unearthed in the Yellow River Basin. Most of the ancient artifacts have been stolen, except for those ancient tablets that weren’t taken. I can’t handle all the translation work alone, so Sui Yi, this elite of the archaeology department, is helping me, this doesn’t violate my personal freedom, right?"

Old Master Ye said with a smile, and the assistant had no words left, only able to look at Jiang Bielin.

The latter pondered slightly and said: "Lin, give Miss Sui a spot."

Assistant Lin: "..."

The people on both sides kept doing their own things, clearly delineated, Yue Beiqing had no use at this time, only reading books by the side or chatting with Ye Changan, occasionally glancing at Jiang Bielin and others, occasionally looking at Sui Yi...

In fact, their work is quite similar, the work Jiang Bielin and others assisted Old Master Ye with also involves some archaeological secrets judgment and processing, while Sui Yi’s work is merely translating those tablets...

Everyone gets what they need.

But soon Yue Beiqing came over after finishing an apple she took from the kitchen, seeing the two assistants in a daze.

Hmm? Wandering off, staring at Miss Sui, could they be attracted by her beauty too? Men...

Eh, something’s off.

How is that stack of documents missing half?

Upon closer inspection, the sheets of documents indeed dwindled quickly, and Sui Yi’s pen kept moving.

Elegant and flowing characters were rendered onto the white surface.

It can be foreseen that Sui Yi’s "work" will soon be done.

Yue Beiqing was surprised. She had casually glanced at that large stack of documents, the inscriptions on them were in a very peculiar script. The peculiarity lay in the mixture of various different writings, she could discern that much. However, with so many Chinese characters, unclear on the tablets, a normal person would find it difficult to translate so fast.

She had once gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and seen those esteemed masters often flipped through several thick books, wrote countless drafts to translate a line or a few words.

The result seen from this woman... she seemed to treat these ancient scripts as a plaything. Just glancing at them, scribbling out large pieces...

Faster than copying.

The two assistants stared in disbelief.

"When you get old, you have no choice but to concede, though you guys clearly despise me, that’s not very good..." Old Master Ye silently pushed his reading glasses aside, teasing the two assistants.

The two assistants blushed, seeing Jiang Bielin’s sweeping glance, couldn’t help but shiver and bury themselves in their work.

As time went on, when Sui Yi was about to finish, Ye Changan brought over drinks and fruits.

"Just water and juice, here’s your portion..."

She divided and handed items to the others.

Finally placing a cup of aromatic tea in front of Sui Yi.

"Sui Yi, have some tea..."

She had just placed the tea in front of Sui Yi.

"Old age forces one to concede, soaking Dragon Well Tea for an hour, all I can do is savor the scent... truly..."

The old master sighed sadly.

Yue Beiqing and the others: Exactly, exactly! Why is it that we just have instant brew water coffee, while she gets Dragon Well Tea carefully steeped for an hour!
