Chapter 505 The Holiday Is Coming
Tilda could totally relate to how it felt. Beside her stood Manfred, a tough, older man who had given so much to his country. Even after retiring, he kept working, earning medals, and never losing his energy.
She gave Manfred a gentle pat on the shoulder and then walked over to Dane.
At that moment, Dane and the others saw Tilda and broke into loud applause for her.
Tilda blushed a little. “Oh … this is too much. You’re making me feel nervous.”
“Ms. Tilda, you deserved it. Without you and your two seniors, we would have no idea how long this project would have taken.”
“To be honest, even when we were almost done, we didn’t think we could make it. But you came in and changed everything – like heroes in a movie saving the day.”
It sounded dramatic, but it was true.
If Tilda and the others hadn’t joined, they probably would still be stuck with no progress at all.
Forget about this long-awaited, first-ever “success.”
Dane took out his notepad and wrote, “Thank you, Mystro, Liam, Tilda.
“No matter what, we did everything we could. Now we just wait for the real results.”
From here on, it wasn’t Dane’s team’s job anymore.
It was out of their hands, success or failure.
After the holidays, when the first 4nm chip lithography machine is completed, everything will be clear.
“I’m going to call and tell the higher-ups this amazing news!” Manfred said, turning to leave.
Then, as if he’d remembered something, he added quickly, “Winter holiday is just a few days away.
“You’ve all worked so hard. If nothing goes wrong, I’ll ask the higher-ups today to let everyone leave work.
“Once the notice comes, you can go home and enjoy the holidays.”
As soon as he said that, everyone cheered.

In Cetherland, the winter holiday was one of the most important and meaningful holidays of the year.
People would take time off during this holiday. Some people simply take vacation days to rest, read, or enjoy quiet time at home.
Family gatherings, watching their favorite holiday TV shows, sharing laughter and happiness.
Some went out to enjoy winter activities or parties with friends.
There are so many memorable things to do.
Especially now.
They had just finished something that seemed impossible – not just for the world, but even for Cetherland itself.
With that feeling, they could truly enjoy the holiday, the family time, and the national celebration.
When you’re alive, what could be happier than this?
None!
Manfred’s request for leave got approved quickly.
The higher-ups were excited when they heard the news. They would tell the experts to rush the production of the lithography machine according to the plan.
Once he got the official word, Manfred led the team to sign confidentiality agreements.
After all the checks were done, they were allowed to leave the base and were driven in special cars to the airport.
The base became quiet very fast.
The winter holiday was almost here.
Not many people were left on the base.
Manfred still needed to finish a detailed report, so he decided to stay at the base until it was done.
His hometown was Hetsa, so if he finished the report in time, he would make it home before the holiday.
As for Dane, Mystro, and Liam …

They quietly watched Tilda, who was busy replying to messages on her phone.
The underground signal wasn’t very good, and she had been really busy lately.
Tilda had a lot of messages to reply to.
Now that she was back at the base upstairs, she finally had time to reply to them one by one, making sure no one would worry.
“Hey, why don’t you three come with me to Slosa? I bought a big apartment so the four of us can live together.
“Oh, and I have a new friend. I’ll introduce him to you.”
Tilda finished replying to Rain’s message and showed her chat to the three seniors.
They immediately agreed. “Let’s go!”
Slosa. Today is the 29th.
The streets were full of holiday decorations.
Some people were even setting off small fireworks and playing with sparklers.
Tilda drove the three seniors to her apartment.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Rain sitting there, snacking and watching TV.
When Rain saw Tilda, he dropped his drink and ran over. “Tilda!”
Tilda scooped him up and hugged him, brushing her hand over his white hair. “Rain, it’s been so long!”
Rain suddenly felt three cold stares on him.
Trying to show off, he buried his face even deeper in Tilda’s arms.
If he could, he would have made a silly face at Dane and the others.
Ha! Being like her little brother is the best. I can ask Tilda for hugs anytime!
Tilda is mine. I’m her favorite. You guys only get what’s left!
Rain completely ignored them and claimed Tilda all for himself.
