The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

After all, they had failed twice, so they dared not have too high expectations and subconsciously prepared themselves to fail again.

However, half a minute passed and no prompt pop-up box appeared.

After another half a minute, the screen suddenly went out, then lit up again, and a brand new interface appeared in front of everyone.

The interface is incredibly simple, without any unnecessary decorations, and only has a few clear functional modules. Click to view the corresponding information. You can even directly contact the headquarters of Neon Country, which is extremely convenient to operate.

It took Director Wang only a few minutes to master the basic operation of the system. As he was exploring, people gathered around him, with Xiao Zhou as the representative of the crowd, staring at him with wide eyes and expectant faces.

"Is it successful already? Why does it feel so unreal? What on earth happened in those few minutes? I'm still confused..." Xiao Zhou spoke first, his face full of confusion.

"Isn't this backend too simple? It feels like there's nothing there. Is this the result we want after working so hard for two months?" Another person couldn't help but complain.

"Director, what is going on? How did you do that just now?" Everyone asked one after another, with confusion written all over everyone's face.

From the moment Director Wang decided to contact Mr. Xu, the subsequent developments were full of magic and confusion.

It was only a few minutes, and it was impossible to contact Mr. Xu so quickly, not to mention that Director Wang seemed to have gotten the answer just by tapping his phone. There was something wrong with all this.

Director Wang did not have time to answer everyone's questions. He quickly copied the contact information of the Neon Country headquarters and sent it to Mr. Xu.

After completing this important step, he carefully erased all browsing traces and logged out of the system without anyone noticing.

Of course, this doesn't mean that everything will be fine in the future.

They have already had a successful experience, so if they need to log in again next time, they will be more skilled and will not need to spend too much time.

However, the premise is that the key has not changed. If the key is updated, it will naturally need to be re-entered.

Fortunately, they have deciphered the code along the way and are constantly recording and backing up the information.

It was the same just now. After Director Wang sent the information that Mr. Xu and his team needed, he also copied some other information that might be useful.

This information may not seem very useful now, but it will be properly stored in the archive anyway. You can always take it out for reference if needed in the future.

The subsequent series of operations can actually be completed by one person, without the need for other people to participate. Director Wang completed all the steps with ease. He is so familiar with these processes that he can operate them smoothly with his eyes closed.

Therefore, when he turned off the screen of his mobile phone, only half an hour had passed. Compared with the nearly fifteen days that their team had spent on the last firewall, this speed was a world of difference.

Director Wang turned around and motioned for everyone to follow him to the conference table and sit down to rest for a while. The exquisite snacks and fragrant tea made everyone's body and mind relax greatly. Most importantly, the pressure of the task had disappeared, and everyone could completely put down their burdens and chat about some relaxing topics.

Director Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to himself. He said solemnly, "Before explaining everything, I want to apologize to everyone first."

After saying this, he suddenly stood up, bent his tall body to 90 degrees without any warning, and bowed deeply to everyone.

This move made everyone feel flattered and even a little terrified. They didn't understand why the director bowed and apologized to them, which made them feel a little at a loss.

Everyone stood up quickly, as if thorns had suddenly grown on their chairs, and they dared not sit down again. They all stood up and bowed deeply to Director Wang.

"Director, you are being too polite! Why are you apologizing to us instead? We should be apologizing to you!" someone said anxiously.

"I'm sorry, we failed to live up to your expectations and failed to successfully decipher stage three..." another person said with guilt.

"Yes! It was you, the director, who cracked the code in the end. You are the biggest contributor! Please don't apologize to us!" everyone echoed.

Director Wang quickly realized his mistake. He should have explained everything clearly before apologizing. Otherwise, these young people would have been panicked and confused without knowing the actual situation.

So, he smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, then slowly began to explain: "In fact, there is something I have been hiding from you. This mission is actually divided into three stages, but your mission has been completed at stage two."

He paused and continued, "We originally intended to use this opportunity to train you. Considering the difficulty of this mission is very high, we have deliberately divided it into three stages."

"That is to say, you have successfully completed the task half a month ago!" As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, there was a commotion from the audience. Everyone looked at the director with disbelief. They guessed in their hearts what the director might say, maybe encouragement or praise. But they never expected the director to say such words. Surprise, surprise, hesitation...most of them were still unbelievable.

"This is impossible? We have completed our mission long ago? Only at stage two..." someone muttered to himself.

"But why do we have to do this? Couldn't they just tell us right from the start? Wouldn't it be better to let more professional people handle the remaining stage three..." Another person also raised his own question.

"Yeah! Two chances have been wasted! If the third time fails, then everything will be ruined, right?" someone else said worriedly.

"What is going on? I still don't understand! Is it really okay to do this? There are only three chances for such a difficult task, and they use two chances to train us..." Everyone expressed their confusion and concerns. No matter how serious and sincere Director Wang was, they still found it difficult to accept this fact. Should they really take such a risk? Compared to that reason, everyone would rather believe that Director Wang just made up such a set of rhetoric to comfort them. The latter idea seems more reasonable and convincing. After all, giving them two chances to try and fail is too extravagant, even a little outrageous. They themselves do not have such confidence.

If this is true, then the director and other leaders are too confident in them to entrust them with such an important task. Or is this matter not as important as they think?
Everyone thought about it. What if they didn't achieve anything in the next two months and were always stuck at the starting point? Wouldn't that be the end of it?

Everyone stared at Director Wang with eyes full of expectation and doubt, listening to his explanation. Deep down, they even hoped that Director Wang would say that what he said before was not true.

Director Wang saw everyone's reaction and sighed inwardly. He knew that it was normal for everyone not to believe it. If all this were explained with conventional logic, it would be hard to make sense. If he had not participated in it himself and designed it himself, if the roles were reversed, he would also think that all this was very outrageous.

"I know this may sound unbelievable," Director Wang said slowly, "but I assure you that every word I say is true."

"We have considered for a long time about entrusting you with the first two phases of the mission to decipher Neon Nation's military communications network, and we feel that this is a bit risky."

"However, if you don't try some things, you will never know the results. You are not flowers in a greenhouse. Winning in simulation competitions or those relatively simple tasks will not bring you real growth."

"Only in this kind of difficult actual combat, even if you fail to decipher it successfully in the end, can you gain a lot of things that you can't get in touch with in normal times. And the facts have proved that you did it, and performed very well."

"You must be curious about how I successfully entered the final key just now. That was sent by Elder Xu. Not only are we working hard here, but Elder Xu and his team are also keeping an eye on the progress of this task."

"I was just about to contact Mr. Xu when his text message came over first. It was the last key we needed!"

"You seem so surprised, but you should be happy! The mission was successfully completed, and you have made an indelible contribution. Mr. Xu is also very satisfied with your performance."

Director Wang spoke frequently, and he remained calm even after saying so many words. He explained the whole story in one breath, successfully clearing up everyone's confusion.

In fact, the two-month deadline did play a crucial role, which even Director Wang, Mr. Xu and others did not expect.

They originally set a two-month time limit just to give those young people a sense of pressure, so that they can be inspired in adversity and urge them to make faster progress.

Xu Lao and the others could not have expected that they would encounter the Japanese army during this mission. So, this timing was just right.

The institute had just conquered the last firewall and was trying every possible way to figure out the final key. After receiving the key from Captain Tian Zhong, Mr. Xu and his team immediately sent it to Director Wang.

Therefore, everything was arranged just right, and it could be said to be seamless. If the institute did not make good progress in the process of carrying out the task, and got stuck in the first or second stage, then Mr. Xu's next move would not be able to proceed smoothly.

The two-month deadline is neither too long nor too short, just enough to give those young people a sense of pressure, allowing them to put aside all distractions and concentrate on their work.

In fact, if Director Wang had not repeatedly forced them to rest and exercise, the mission might have been completed much earlier than expected. Director Wang did not know what would happen in advance, and he was not sure what the real purpose of Xu Lao and others' request to decipher the Neon Country military communication network was, so he did not deliberately seize the time in the early stage of the mission.

He kept reminding others to take a rest, which was always criticized by everyone and he almost got exposed because of it.

"I see! I was wondering why the director was acting strangely in the early stages, constantly urging us to rest, as if he didn't care about the two-month deadline at all."

"That's true. But I thought the director was only concerned about our physical and mental health, I didn't expect he had this consideration."

"Is Mr. Xu really satisfied with our work progress? Will we have a chance to meet him at the end of the year? Director, since the task has been completed, does the promise he made to us still count..."

"Double the year-end bonus, performance bonus, and I can also meet Mr. Xu... This is simply amazing! Please tell me I am not dreaming, I am so happy that I am going to faint!"

"Ahhh! That's great! Mr. Xu is my idol!"

Everyone stopped worrying about their previous doubts. Since the mission had been completed, there was no need to worry about it anymore. What they were more concerned about now was whether they could really see Mr. Xu and others in person by the end of the year.

Looking at the eagerness of these young people, Director Wang nodded heavily, as if afraid that they had not seen it, and he also emphasized again what Mr. Xu had promised.

"That's right! You completed the task very well, and you completed it nearly half a month ahead of schedule. Of course, my previous promise to you counts and it will never be false."

"Not only that, you have really worked hard during this period. Starting from tomorrow, I will give you a few days off, go back and have a good rest!"

The mission had been completed, and Director Wang generously gave everyone a few days off with a stroke of his pen. This was the reward they deserved.

There was nothing particularly important to do next. He decided to stay alone in the institute to deal with the follow-up matters. As for these young people, he would give them a short vacation and let them do whatever they wanted.

Is there anything more pleasing than being told that you can take a day off after completing a task, and that you will receive all the rewards you deserve?
The crowd could not help but applaud and cheer enthusiastically, and everyone was extremely excited, making a lot of noise. Some even tore off their clothes, stood on chairs and waved their arms in revelry.

As for the director's apology, they were not angry at all, and there was no need for an apology, so why should they accept it? Let's just let it go!

Turned over!
The director has explained the matter so clearly. (End of this chapter)
