Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Hearing Dunlop's accusation, Noah smiled and said, "Uncle Dunlop, don't you call your wife 'baby'? I call my baby that every day, and she likes to hear it."

Dunlop frowned, looking disgusted. "I always call her 'darling,' but in front of others I always call her 'my wife.'"

"Isn't it pretty much the same?" Noah sat in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "My darling wants to work for Crofford?"

"That's what Croft said, Noah. Have you been mistreating him? He's actually so eager to find a way out. By the way, you'd better persuade Qi Yuan quickly. Croft said that if Qi Yuan doesn't join his project team, he won't continue with the wireless communication project."

Dunlop was exaggerating a bit; someone who didn't know the situation might have thought Noah had dumped Qi Yuan.

To make a living, Qi Yuan insisted on joining Croft's project team.

Noah only heard the second half of the sentence, "He won't do it if my darling doesn't join. Does this Croft have designs on my darling?" As he spoke, a sinister look appeared in Noah's eyes.

“Crofford has a wife and children, and he has a very good relationship with his wife. He said it was out of respect for scholars and knowledge that he wanted Qi Yuan’s name to be on the honor roll of this project,” Dunlop said.

Noah frowned.

He really wanted to say that having Qi Yuan's name on it was simple; they could just write Qi Yuan's name on it directly without having him join the work.

However, Dunlop said that Qi Yuan was going to work in the Croft project team.

Does his child want to go to work?

Noah didn't know whether he should refuse for him. What if his darling got angry when he got home?

Noah was starting to feel a bit awkward.

"Was this project difficult to develop?" Noah asked.

The Leopold family was the main developer of the wireless communication project. Noah joined midway through, bringing in scholars and funding, but then stopped paying attention to it. Therefore, it's unclear how demanding the research was.

“Research projects are never easy. I’ve seen Croft spend almost every day in the lab before going home at midnight. And lately, he’s been having trouble sleeping because of a problem he can’t solve.”

"Is it really that difficult?" Noah muttered to himself.

Dunlop snorted. "If it were simple, wireless communication would have appeared long ago, instead of being delayed until now."

“That’s true.” Noah’s expression turned serious.

Dunlop looked at him and asked, "You still haven't said whether or not Qi Yuan will work for Crofford?"

Noah sighed deeply, "My darling has already said she wants to go. If I don't agree, I'll get a beating when I get back."

"You're the head of the Davis family, being ridden on by a lover?" Dunlop looked at him incredulously.

Noah glanced at him. "If your new wife acts all cute, will you buy her pretty new clothes and bags?"

Dunlop thought of his beautiful wife at home and nodded: "Of course, clothes and bags aren't expensive."

"Whether it's clothes or bags, it's always right for her to have them under her thumb," Noah said. "Now I'm also completely under my darling's thumb. Just thinking about him makes me want to see him. Sigh... I'm never getting enough work."

At this moment, Dunlop reached a consensus with Noah. After all, he also really liked the beautiful woman at home and understood the impulse to pluck the stars from the sky for her when she acted cute.

"You mean you agree to let him work for Crofford?" Dunlop said.

Noah nodded. "Agreed."

"What if something happens to him while he's working on the project..."

"Then the Leopold family is about to be wiped out."

Noah uttered the most terrifying words in a relaxed tone.

Dunlop was taken aback: "Didn't you agree to let him go to work?"

“I did agree, but I didn’t agree that he could be harmed at work.” Noah’s expression turned stern. “If it’s a minor injury that my darling accidentally caused, I can let it go. But if anyone intentionally hurts him, I will send them to meet God.”

Many people in the Northern Continent oppose same-sex relationships, and some even assassinate their partners out of disgust. Such an incident occurred in a small village in the Northern Continent.

A couple was hanged. The villagers, thinking they were bad luck, praised the murderer for doing a good job. The bodies were left unclaimed by the roadside and were eaten by wild dogs.

Noah knew that he had the right and the ability, and no one dared to treat them like that.

But scholars are pedantic; they are more homophobic than anyone else.

Croft's research group is mostly composed of academics.

Those scholars might not dare to do anything to Qi Yuan, but they would definitely dislike him.

If someone dislikes Qi Yuan, it's uncertain whether they will deliberately cause trouble for him.

Therefore, Noah spoke up beforehand.

“You cherish him so much, why would you let him go out to work? Isn’t that just harming him?” Dunlop said.

"I spoil him."

Noah answered without hesitation.

"Because I spoil him, I let him do whatever he wants. And I naturally take precautions to prevent any potential dangers he might encounter at his workplace."

He was so confident that Dunlop didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was furious for a while before accusing them: "You two are just here to cause trouble!"

“Uncle Dunlop, the Leopold family is not a small family. If you can’t even solve a small problem in your own family, you might as well merge your family into mine. Besides, from what you just said, I learned that the problem that Mr. Croft couldn’t solve for half a year was solved by my darling in just a few words.”

“My son is so smart. If I were to have him collaborate with my family’s scholars, you wouldn’t get a single penny of the gold in wireless communications.”

Noah's confident words left Dunlop speechless once again.

Before that, things were fine, but now, the scholars sent by the Davis family have been working with Croft for some time, and Croft is also sharing his research data.

If the Davis family's scholars take this data and start afresh, they should be able to achieve wireless communication by at least next year.

As for Crawford, that stubborn guy, even if he already knew how to solve the problem, he would definitely refuse to continue development by citing respect for scholars and knowledge.

In the end, he lost more than he gained!

"When do you plan to have him start working?" Dunlop asked, swallowing his anger.

Noah said, "I don't know, I'll go back and ask."

“You…” Dunlop wanted to say again, “What kind of family head are you?” but then he remembered that he had already said that once, so he didn’t say it again.

He could only rephrase it: "If you want to come for work, let me know in advance!"
