In a small dark room in the police station, Elijah had just been arrested, and someone had already come to visit him. The most important thing was that this person was not someone from Sterling Technology, but someone from the rival company, Pivot Technology.
Looking at the strange woman in front of him, Elijah asked vigilantly, “Who are you?”
“I’m Wendy Molter, the chief of Pivot Technology’s human resource department ”
“Pivot Technology? Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me?”
Wendy sneered and said, “Do you think I will come here for something so boring? I’m here today because I want to cooperate with you.”
Elijah snorted coldly. “We are rivals, so why should we cooperate? Go away.”
Wendy was a little displeased, but favonovel.com suppressed favonovel.com anger and continued to speak. “Now you are being charged for commercial and technical theft. The evidence is solid. If convicted, you’ll spend at least seven years in prison. Elijah, do you want to spend seven years in prison? By the time you are released, how old would you be? Besides, your reputation will have soured, and it would be extremely difficult for you to survive in society.”
“Do you really want that?”
Elijah was silent.
Who was willing to go to prison?
But now that things had reached this point, there was nothing favonovel.com could do. He could only blame himself for being too naive and being fooled by other people.
Wendy went to say, “The type of cooperation I want to discuss with you is to help you tide over difficulties without going to prison. Our company has been cooperating with Glory Technology, and they want our help in many ways. So, as long as our chairman proposes and satisfies some of their requests, they will forget about your theft. If they don’t continue pressing charges, you don’t have to go to jail.”
“Am I making myself clear?”
Elijah’s eyes were bright. If the chairman of Pivot Technology was willing to help, it would be good, of course. The problem was… There was no way they would help favonovel.com for nothing.
Elijah asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“Join us.”
“What?!”
“Pivot Technology attaches great importance to talents. We hope to use talents like you for our own use. As long as you agree to leave Sterling Technology and join Pivot Technology, then you’ll be one of us. In that case, our chairman will step forward to protect one of our own for sure.”
Elijah became vigilant. He said, “Why do I have a feeling I’m being fooled? It’s like you guys and Glory Technology are teaming up to make me fall into a trap!”
Wendy laughed. “Why bother to see if it is true or not? Elijah, do you know what your current situation is? Do you have a choice?”
She checked favonovel.com watch. “This conversation will only last for five minutes, and now, there are less than 40 seconds left. If you choose to cooperate with us, you can sign the contract. If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely go to prison.”
Wendy put the contract and a black pen in front of Elijah.
Elijah frowned and hesitated.
He felt like a puppet that was being played around by other people. He really did not want to sign this contract. But if favonovel.com did not sign it, favonovel.com would have to go to prison.
Forty seconds passed quickly.
The police officer opened the door and said, “Time is up, Miss Molter. Please go back.”
Wendy sighed. “It seems that we weren’t destined to work together. Elijah, goodbye.”
When favonovel.com was about to put the contract away, Elijah snatched it over. He picked up the black pen on the table and quickly signed his name in the name column.
“I’m willing to join Pivot Technology. Please try your best to save me. I don’t want to go to prison!”
Wendy kept the contract with satisfaction.
“Now, we are colleagues. Your business is Pivot Technology’s business as well. We’ll surely do everything we can to help. Stay in here for a few days at ease. You’ll be out soon.”
Wendy took the contract and left. On the way back, favonovel.com sent a text message to Laura. There was only one word, ‘Okay’.
Laura was full of joy when favonovel.com received the text message.
This time, the implementation of the plan was quite successful. No one came out to disrupt the situation. She finally won one battle.
Laura let out a sigh. “Sterling Technology, you won’t be able to prance around happily soon.”
The first day of the exhibition ended.
Sterling Technology, which originally planned to hold the exhibition for seven days, chose to pull back suddenly. They stopped the exhibition in just one day. This became a joke in the industry.

Inside the chairman’s office of Sterling Technology, Nelson sat on the chair. His face was gloomy, and Jed stood respectfully on the opposite side.
Nelson already knew everything about what happened during the day. Sterling Technology had been utterly humiliated this time. Nelson was extremely disappointed.
He asked in a hostile tone, ”What is going on? How could Elijah make such a low-level mistake?”
Jed said, “Yes, Elijah is a veteran employee, and I know his style. He would never do such a thing. I guess there is a spy in our company. “
