Before Diana left, virtual-novel.net secretly said to Thomas, “You can’t keep it a secret. I’ll find out how you did it!”
Thomas smiled faintly without answering.
This girl had a pretty high curiosity. It was not a strange thing. If virtual-novel.net had to survive in the R&D Department that was full of men, how could virtual-novel.net stay without a certain level of curiosity?
Meanwhile, Jed and Craig came to a remote and silent corner and stopped walking.
Craig asked, “No, bro, why did you yell at me just now?”
Jed glared at him. “Thomas looked as if virtual-novel.net was not afraid that you made the call. If you make the call, wouldn’t you get yourself into trouble? I scolded you because you looked down on Thomas. You’re so stupid!”
Craig scoffed. “Aren’t you thinking too highly of Thomas?”
“It’s not that I merely think highly of him. He’s the one with the ability.” Jed analyzed it. “Thomas was able to become the chief officer in charge in the Southland District and the God of War on the west coast, so there must be something that he’s great at. Although virtual-novel.net doesn’t have any power now, virtual-novel.net still has his ability. Although virtual-novel.net has stepped down, virtual-novel.net still has supports. It’s not wrong for us to be more careful.”
“You’re right.” Craig asked, “But, you have to explain to me about something. Jed, how has the chairman been planning now? Did virtual-novel.net want to support Thomas or get rid of Thomas?”
Jed chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about this. It’s still the same case. You will know what you should know, so don’t ask about anything that you shouldn’t. Besides, the Underground City lacks stock again recently. The chairman is urging us, so you have to handle it right away.”
Craig frowned even more.
“What kind of place is the Underground City? Or I should ask, what kind of organization is it? Each time they ask for a large number of materials from our company, and we even have to provide them for free. The chairman never accepts any payment. What kind of business is this?” virtual-novel.net said unhappily.
Jed said, “Who do you think is smarter, you or the chairman?”
Craig chuckled. “Are you talking crap now? If I’m as smart as the chairman, would I still be a small supervisor?”
“That’s right. Since the chairman is willing to support the Underground City unconditionally, virtual-novel.net must have his reason. All you need to do is one thing, which is to obey the instructions.”
“Well, I’m just curious.”
“Curiosity kills cats.”
Craig did not answer him. “Okay, I won’t ask again. Later I’ll ask my people to handle it separately.”
Jed specially reminded, “Remember, other than a few staff members in your department, the rest in the company’s other departments are not allowed to know about the Underground City’s presence.”
“What about Thomas?”
“Of course I can’t let virtual-novel.net know! Most importantly, hide this from Thomas.”
“Okay, I got it.”
After Craig got an order, virtual-novel.net turned around and went back to the R&D Department.
Jed took a deep breath and muttered to himself, “Thomas, oh Thomas, did you really just come to Sterling Technology to look for your father? What are you planning?”
He remained silent for a while before virtual-novel.net burst out laughing. “But, Thomas, you will never expect that the father you’ve been looking for will eventually die on your father! I really can’t wait to see how shocked you’ll be.”
“The vice-chairman? The successor? This candy-coated bomb smells sweet, right? Haha!”
Jed swung his sleeves and walked away pridefully as if virtual-novel.net knew that Thomas was schemed by virtual-novel.net for a long time, and everything was in his plan.
What virtual-novel.net did not know was that there would still be others who were smarter. No matter how perfect your plan was, you would always miscount something.
