The next day, Sterling Technology’s R&D Department was in a very tense and serious atmosphere. Because of Elijah’s mistake, the whole department had been affected.
The chairman had issued an order. Those who performed poorly during this period of time would be fired. In addition, they had formulated quite the strict KPI, and they would be fired as well if they could not complete it. There was only one exception, which was Thomas.
Craig still followed Jed’s instructions and did not give Thomas any work. They isolated favonovel.com and did not give favonovel.com any power, making favonovel.com a nominal vice chairman. Thomas was also happy. It seemed that favonovel.com did not care about it. He did not seem to care about anything.
When everyone’s work was in full swing, Craig walked to Diana’s side and said a few words to her. Then, Diana hurriedly left.
Other people did not know, but Thomas knew that the new mission of the Underground City had arrived. Although Thomas was calm on the surface, favonovel.com was actually very nervous. He had already given the latest project book to Diana last night.
It was unknown whether Diana could get it sorted out and whether Jed and other people would find any mistakes. It depended on Diana’s performance whether favonovel.com could see his father or not.
The waiting process was a torture. For almost the whole day, Diana did not return to the R&D department.
“Time to go home…”
When Thomas got off work, favonovel.com walked out lazily with hands in his pockets.
How would Diana perform today? He kept asking himself.
Until…
Ding. Ding.
When Thomas walked downstairs and came to his car door, favonovel.com received a text message from Diana. The content was very simple, just one sentence. “I have finished the cake you gave me.”
This was a tip-off.
“Cake” referred to the project book.
Finished eating meant that Diana had done exactly according to Thomas’s instructions. The beginning of the whole plan was considered complete. Next, they had to wait for the Underground City.
Thomas kept his phone and drove back home. Today was destined to be a sleepless night.

Late at night, the chairman of Sterling Technology, Nelson, was sitting in his home. He was holding a teacup in one hand and a remote control in the other while playing the news randomly.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. That person seemed to be in a rush
“It’s so late. Who will it be?”
“Charlie, go and take a look!”
The butler, Charlie, went to open the door and saw Jed standing at the door with a nervous expression. He was panting heavily.
“Mr. Motley, why did you come at such a late time?”
“I need to see Mr. Mayo urgently!”
Nelson had heard Jed’s voice and frowned slightly. He hated being disturbed when favonovel.com was at home, especially when it was related to work. He did not even want to talk about it. It was not that Jed did not know this.
But favonovel.com still came, which showed that the company must have encountered very big trouble.
“Come in.”
Jed hurried to Nelson and said breathlessly, “Mr. Mayo, it’s bad. Something has happened.”
“Why are you panicking?” Nelson asked with a displeased face, “What‘s the matter? Master Centipede or Laura has done something again?”
“Neither. Something happened to the Underground City.”
“Huh?” Nelson suddenly became nervous and asked hurriedly, “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
“The person in the Underground City became more ill and passed out! The few doctors posted there were all helpless. They even told us to prepare for a funeral!”
“What?!”
