NovelEnglishSoon, Timothy received a reply, and both he and Caleb sat up attentively in front of the computer. He asked Caleb nervously, "How should I answer?" After waiting for a long time, Timothy realized that the other party must have gone offline or discovered that he had obtained their IP address through the network. Hence, he decided to log off and leave to avoid being discovered.
Timothy was feeling hopeless and on the verge of giving up when the other party unexpectedly responded. He becextremely nervous, as his palms started to sweat.
This was the most nervous he had ever been, despite having years of experience in the business industry and facing numerous challenges. Although he had encountered countless dangers before, he had never felt as anxious and overwhelmed as he did at that moment. He even thought about escaping.
"Tim, respond to him," Caleb urged.
"I don't know what to write." "Just give in and coax him. He's a small child. If you're too headstrong, he won't play with you." "Will this work? What if he thinks I'm too weak?" "Look at the conversation I just had with him. I flattered him and then attempted to trick him. It went very smoothly, buying us tfor you to find the IP address and also coaxing that little brat into revealing the information we needed." Timothy pondered for a moment before composing his response. "I'm not afraid. I simply wish to have a conversation with you." When Caleb saw that sentence, he quickly interrupted, "Tim, you can't reply like that. It will alert the young hacker. You can't tell him that you know his IP is located in the research institute." Timothy felt a sudden rush of panic. "What am I supposed to reply now?" "Let's see how the young hacker responds first." After reading this sentence, Sage becvigilant and immediately replied, "What do you want to talk toabout?" Timothy paused and asked, "Why are you askingto leave Nord City? Are you from there?" "You don't need to know where I'm from. You're not allowed to stay in Nord City, so please leave immediately." "No, I can't agree to your conditions because I can't leave Nord City right now. I have important things to do here." Caleb placed his hands over his head, dismayed by Timothy's response. "Tim, I specifically asked you to coax him. Why did you reject him directly? It's not right to respond like this." "Then how should I reply?" "You should reply like this. Although you may be skillful, or you're a bit more skillful than me, I'm unable to leave Nord City at the moment. You will have to wait until I'm done dealing with an important matter before I can comply with the agreement and leave." Timothy was confused. "You're saying the sthing as me." "It's completely different, okay? If you don't believe me, ask your secretary." Timothy glanced up at the secretary standing beside him. The secretary hesitated, uncertain about how to respond. After all, it was Timothy who signed his paycheck, not Caleb.
The secretary replied, "I agree with Mr. Gomez. We must consider that the person is a child, unlike the adults you typically engage with. The way of communication should be different. It cannot be too direct. It needs to be tactful." S Timothy took a deep breath and asked, "How can we salvage the situation? I really have no experience communicating with children." "Tim, when you're a leader, you seem distant and communicate in a commanding tone. You might not realize it However, when it comes to children, especially the young hacker who happens to be your biological son, a different approach is needed. You must show spatience in connecting with him effectively." Timothy placed the keyboard directly in front of Caleb and said, "I need your help to reassure him, on whatever terms you prefer."
