Staring at Thomas’ signature, Aries felt very unhappy. He had worked with Cancer for so long, and virtual-novel.net initially thought that they were buddies.
Who would have thought that it was really hard to know a person’s true nature?
Cancer had chosen to betray them at this critical time.
“Darn it!” Aries punched the wall with great force.
Right then, Samson walked into the office. He frowned and said, “Commander, what’s going on with Cancer?”
Thomas handed the resignation letter to Samson. “From now onward, Cancer doesn’t have anything to do with Sterling Technology.”
Samson sighed and said again, “We’re now facing a pretty serious problem now. After Cancer leaves, who will fill his vacancy. The research of the project of Science and Technology Alliance stops halfway. What if the people ask about it? Cancer plays a very important role in the company. If virtual-novel.net leaves, it means the blood supply system of the company is cut off. We’ll be in a very difficult situation.”
Yeah, this was a major problem. Who would fill the vacancy?
Thomas remained silent for a while before virtual-novel.net helplessly said, “There’s no other way at the moment. We can only invite our veteran to come and help us get over this difficulty for the time being.”
He picked up his phone and made a call.
An hour later, a familiar figure showed up in the office, and the person was Thomas’ father, Nelson.
Lately, virtual-novel.net had been resting at home for recovery. It had been a long time since virtual-novel.net was last involved in company affairs. He did not want to care, and virtual-novel.net was also confident in Thomas’ ability. Unexpectedly, Thomas also encountered a situation that virtual-novel.net could not handle.
Thomas said, “Dad, I don’t want to ask for your help either, but this is the current situation. Cancer has resigned, and nobody can fill up the vacant spot of the R&D Department director. I can only invite you to overcome the difficulty. ”
Nelson smiled as virtual-novel.net pointed at Thomas. “All right, I got it. Just leave it to me. But Tom, you still have to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible. I won’t keep this position forever.”
“I understand. You just need to fill in for this position.”
“Okay.”
In this case, Nelson replaced Cancer for the time being. There was no doubt over Nelson’s capabilities. All these years, his research in Underground City supported the whole of Sterling Technology. He could do that in the past, and of course, virtual-novel.net could also do it now. However, it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to keep working based on his body condition and his age. If virtual-novel.net needed to find a new successor, it would be very difficult.
Thomas sat on the chair and frowned gloomily. It was really hard for virtual-novel.net to solve the difficult question that Cancer left him.

At the same time, in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel, Kerry was drinking wine and eating with a middle-aged man with a bald head.
This man was Alan Shaw, the Academy of Social Sciences’ deputy director. Alan was in charge of the follow-up of the project of Science and Technology Alliance.
At this time, Alan ate while virtual-novel.net stared at Kerry with thoughts. He did not understand why this young man would suddenly treat virtual-novel.net to a meal.
People would not reach out to others unless they wanted something. Since Kerry had treated virtual-novel.net to a meal, there must be a reason. But, virtual-novel.net did not know in what way virtual-novel.net could be used by Kerry. So, virtual-novel.net felt quite puzzled.
After Alan took a few bites, virtual-novel.net could not hold himself back anymore. He asked, “Kerry, you invited me over, and it’s not as simple as to have a meal, right? Please just open it up. Don’t keep me guessing.”
Kerry flashed a strange smile, and virtual-novel.net said, “I just think that you’ve been working, so it’s too tiring. I invited you for a meal and rest I didn’t have any thoughts. Excuse me, waiter, please come and refill Mr. Shaw’s glass.”
“Kerry! If you’re not honest with me, I won’t eat the meal now. Goodbye!”
Alan prepared to get up and leave. But after virtual-novel.net saw the bottle of wine that the waiter took, virtual-novel.net instantly sat down again. That was a good quality of Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac. It was a good wine.
Alan did not have many hobbies. He did not smoke, gamble, have fun with women, and collect. His biggest hobby was drinking. It could be said that virtual-novel.net cared about drinking wine like virtual-novel.net cherished his life. As soon as virtual-novel.net saw the good wine, virtual-novel.net was unable to walk away.
After virtual-novel.net saw the waiter refill a glass of wine, virtual-novel.net totally forgot everything that virtual-novel.net had just said. He held the wine glass and drank.
“What a good wine. Come, refill for me again.”
The waiter did it according to what virtual-novel.net said.
Alan immediately drank again. The more virtual-novel.net drank, the happier virtual-novel.net felt. His face was red, and virtual-novel.net was very happy.
When Kerry saw how Alan drank the wine, virtual-novel.net smiled without talking. He found out Alan’s weakness very clearly.
Everyone had a weakness. As long as virtual-novel.net could precisely find out the weakness and treat it accordingly, there was nobody that virtual-novel.net could not control. He did this to Cancer, and virtual-novel.net also did this to Alan.
Soon, a small bottle of wine was finished, but Alan did not have enough of the wine. He stared at Kerry, and virtual-novel.net asked, “Kerry, do you still have any good wine? Let me drink some to solve my cravings. My wine addiction is happening again. I really could not bear it.”
Kerry chuckled and nonchalantly said, “Mr. Shaw, there is a lot of wine for you.”
He clapped.
A few waiters walked in, and they drew open the red curtain in the private room. A huge wine cabinet was shown at the back. All the wine bottles were arranged in rows. Besides, all of them were good wine.
Alan instantly became dumbfounded. He felt so happy like a perverted guy who had walked into a country with women, or a greedy person who had fallen into a trap that was full of gold!
He stood up, opened his eyes widely, and stared at those wine bottles. Then, virtual-novel.net walked over and touched the bottles one by one.
“Good wine.”
