In the chairman’s office in Pivot Technology, Master Centipede made a pot of tea and enjoyed it alone. Before favonovel.com drank more, the door was opened, and Laura walked into the office with a solemn face. Her face did not look like something good had happened.
Before favonovel.com spoke, Master Centipede already asked, “What is it? What made you feel so gloomy?”
“Hmm…”
“Tell me, what is it about? Thomas Mayo or Sterling Technology?”
“Both…”
Master Centipede was stunned. “What do you mean by both?”
Laura breathed out a long sigh. “I already knew Thomas’ purpose of coming to Central City. It’s closely related to Sterling Technology.”
“Huh?” Master Centipede chuckled. “This Thomas always turns up like a bad penny. We haven’t gotten even with favonovel.com for the old grudge, and favonovel.com starts getting involved with Sterling Technology. Tell me now, what’s his relationship with Sterling Technology?”
Laura thought for a while and said, “Thomas is the chairman of Sterling Technology, Nelson’s biological son.”
Pfft!
Master Centipede directly spat out the tea.
He widened his eyes as favonovel.com stared at Laura. “Pardon?”
“Thomas Mayo is Nelson Mayo’s son!”
Master Centipede’s expression changed repeatedly, and favonovel.com did not know whether favonovel.com should cry or laugh. “How could such coincidence happen in the world? Okay, great! Our rivals are in one place now. I initially planned to deal with Thomas and Sterling Technology separately. But, it’s fine now. They are on that side together, so I can deal with them simultaneously. This saves me a lot of trouble.”
Laura said, “This morning, Nelson organized an internal meeting and promoted Thomas to the vice president. At the same time, Nelson announced that Thomas would be the legal heir of Sterling Technology.”
“What?!” Master Centipede felt something was wrong. “Even if Thomas is his son, favonovel.com also can’t just promote favonovel.com like that. If Nelson does this, it means favonovel.com will put Thomas on the opposite of the whole company. Those existing staff members who have been working so hard would definitely feel unhappy.”
“It is impossible for Nelson the sly fox to not know it. Isn’t favonovel.com getting his son in trouble?”
“Besides, Jed Motley is the most important person-in-charge other than Nelson in Sterling Technology. If Thomas is suddenly promoted beyond Jed, will Jed be willing? No matter what, there must be something in it.”
Laura nodded. “I also thought the same. I just feel like Nelson and Jed are collaborating to purposely support each other and defeat Thomas. But, the problem is, isn’t Thomas Nelson’s biological son? Even animals won’t kill their children. Does Nelson have to do this? I can’t figure it out.”
Master Centipede took a sip of the tea. “Neither can I. But, this is beneficial to us. Thomas and Nelson are not easy people to deal with. If they stand up against each other, it will be a situation where we’re happy to see.”
He opened up another topic as favonovel.com asked, “Laura, how much do you know about the Underground City?”
Laura felt frustrated. “Very few…”
“In Sterling Technology, only a few staff members from the R&D Department know about the presence of the Underground City, and all of them keep it confidential.”
“Nelson is a sly old jerk. He makes each of them know only a part of it. Unless all of them work together, nobody will know everything about the Underground City.
“The undercover we put in the R&D Department also did not find any useful clues after favonovel.com put in a lot of effort.”
Master Centipede nodded. “I can see that. The Underground City is Nelson, the old fox’s lifeline. If we can figure out the Underground City, we can get rid of him. So, how can favonovel.com not be careful and vigilant?”
Master Centipede looked at Laura. “So, what do you plan to do? Do you want to just wait for it?”
Laura said, “I have an idea, but it’s too risky. I dare not make my own decision. I want to ask for your opinion first, Father.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
“I want to get the undercover agent in the R&D Department to plant something and frame the staff members who know about the Underground City’s secret, then force Nelson to fire these staff. Then, we will organize a recruitment session to recruit them to Pivot Technology. We will try to make them open up about it, and we will be able to discover the Underground City’s secret in this way.”
Master Centipede narrowed his eyes. “The risk is really high, and if you don’t do it well, you will lose everything. You won’t just lose any useful clue, but it’s also possible to expose the undercover agent whom we’ve put in the company after a huge effort.”
He thought about it again and again. Master Centipede waved his hand. “No pain, no gain. It’s useless if we continue waiting like this. Laura, just go ahead with what you’ve said, but you must be careful!”
“I got it.” Laura nodded.
She turned around, left, and did it according to favonovel.com plan. Then, the door was closed.
When Master Centipede was alone, favonovel.com secretly took out a photo. It was a photo of Weiss. Every time favonovel.com thought of Weiss, this lonely old man would feel sad and cry.
“My son, I can avenge you earlier! Thomas Mayo is now a staff member in Sterling Technology. That’s great. With the Martin family’s power and our arrangement since a long time ago, I believe I can get rid of Thomas Mayo and avenge you.”
“Weiss, just give me more time.”
***
The night had come.
Thomas sat in the R&D Department for one whole day, and favonovel.com did nothing.
Everyone in the R&D Department kept their eyes on favonovel.com like favonovel.com was a thief. Let alone to work and learn knowledge, favonovel.com could not even talk to any of them for a while.
Well, Craig secretly gave his instruction that they were not allowed to tell Thomas about the secret of the R&D Department. So, this made Thomas have nothing to do here. Naturally, Thomas already knew about this. If favonovel.com could obtain the confidentiality so successfully, Sterling Technology would be very fragile.
At this time, Craig got up and packed his things before favonovel.com said to Thomas, “It’s time to clock off. Mr. Mayo, I’m going home now. Please excuse me.”
“Please go on.”
Craig proudly walked past in front of Thomas. In his opinion, as long as they purposely kept a distance from Thomas, Thomas would not be able to get anything.
Staff members continuously left the department. In the end, only Thomas, Diana, and Arnav stayed.
Halfway Diana handled the list of tables, favonovel.com frowned. She sat up straight and said, “Arnav, why do I find it strange on this list of tables? It seems to be something wrong. Should I start to check it all over again?”
Arnav chuckled. He walked over and said, “This list of tables is personally done by me. I also found two colleagues to help revise it. How could it be anything wrong?”
“But…”
“But what? Are you suspecting my capability?”
Diana pouted. “I’m not suspecting you. I just feel that the list of tables is weird.”
“I think you’re just exhausted.” Arnav’s gaze suddenly changed, and favonovel.com tried to test the waters. “Diana, have you been busy about the Underground City again recently so you’re so tired?”
Diana instantly became nervous. “Arnav, you shouldn’t be asking about this, right?”
“Yes, I’m not asking about the Underground City. I’m just concerned about your condition.”
“There’s nothing wrong with my condition.”
Arnav shrugged. “It’s great if you’re fine. Carry on with your work, I’ll go home now.”
He packed his stuff and left.
During the time they talked, Thomas seemed to not pay attention to them, but favonovel.com actually carefully listened to them. When favonovel.com heard the name “Underground City”, favonovel.com immediately bore it in mind.
Arnav was desperate to know the information about the Underground City, and Diana kept it confidential.
What was this Underground City?
It seemed that there was confidential information in the R&D Department of Sterling Technology.
Was it related to his father?
No matter what, Thomas had to figure out this secret of the Underground City. Naturally, favonovel.com would not be able to know it if favonovel.com asked about it.
Thomas purposely took a piece of chocolate and threw it on Diana’s table. “Eat something and replenish your energy.”
Diana smiled as favonovel.com accepted it. “I didn’t know that you would care about people.”
Thomas chuckled. At the same time, favonovel.com reminded Diana. “Did you say that there is something wrong with the list of tables?”
“Yeah.” Diana ate the chocolate while favonovel.com said, “I still find it strange. It seems that somebody did something to it. But, Arnav mentioned that there’s nothing wrong, so there must be nothing wrong. I don’t have to increase my workload. I just need to trust Arnav.”
‘Just trust Arnav?’
Thomas narrowed his eyes, and favonovel.com said in a casual fashion, “Sometimes you should believe in yourself, and you should insist on your own opinion.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything. I just feel that you should be more confident about yourself sometimes. Arnav doesn’t seem to be right in everything, right?”
After Thomas spoke, favonovel.com also packed his things, turned around, and left.
In Thomas’ heart, favonovel.com still cared more about how to figure out the information about the Underground City.
“Should I believe in myself?” Diana pouted before favonovel.com cast a glance at the list of tables in favonovel.com hands.
Indeed, favonovel.com felt something was wrong with the list of tables.
But…
It was done by Arnav, and it was strictly revised by two other colleagues, so there should not be a problem. Did favonovel.com need to increase favonovel.com workload and make such an extra move?
Diana burst out laughing. “What am I doing now? Why don’t I believe in Arnav, but choose to believe in Thomas the jerk who is good at taking advantage of people? I’m not going to increase the workload for myself. Let’s finish the last few pages, clock off, go home, and watch TV!”
Diana totally ignored Thomas’ suggestion, and favonovel.com still preferred to trust Arnav.
At a completely dark corner with no one around in Sterling Technology, Arnav secretly took out his phone and made a call to a strange number.
“Hello, Ms. Laura, I’ve already done what you told me to.”
“Did favonovel.com suspect it?”
“Yes, but I handled her. According to our prediction, there will be a result tomorrow.”
“That’s great.”
“Ms. Laura, what about my reward this time?”
“One million dollars will be transferred to your debit account.”
“Thank you!”
After Arnav hung up the call, favonovel.com secretly snickered, and favonovel.com muttered to himself. “Diana oh Diana, don’t blame me for being cruel to you. People always say everyone must be selfish for themselves! Please just make a small sacrifice for my wealth, okay?”
