Thirty is the age to work hard.

Faced with his busy daily life, Noah longed to give up.

But if he gave up, those who wanted to kill him would take the opportunity to strike, so between giving up and saving his life, he chose to save his life.

It's been snowing almost every day for the past few days.

Although it wasn't a heavy snowfall, the light snow was still unbearably cold.

Despite the mountain of things to do, Noah mustered the courage to go out.

The first thing to do today is to discuss the setup of wireless communication with Dunlop. Based on the map Qi Yuan gave him last night, he found Dunlop.

When Dunlop heard that the matter could not be kept secret from the other two families, he immediately disagreed.

He conducted this experiment secretly in order to get ahead of the competition and wage an information war against the other two families in secret. If the other two families found out, what would be the point of waging an information war?

Even though Noah produced the map that Qi had drawn last night, Dunlop didn't believe it and insisted on going to the studio to ask the scholars what was going on.

So Noah had to accompany him to Crawford.

When the two of them arrived, the scholars were discussing the construction of base stations and signal towers in the conference room. Their arrival startled the scholars, who immediately stood up.

But Noah's gaze soon fell on Qi Yuan.

Like the other scholars, Qi Yuan wore a white lab coat. Because he had promised Noah to grow his hair long, Qi Yuan hadn't cut it for a while, and his bangs had grown so long that they were blocking his eyes.

Qi Yuan has never liked to groom himself. To make it easier for him to work, he found a hair tie and tied his hair up in front of his forehead, making him look like a shuttlecock.

This was the first time Noah had seen Qi Yuan like this. He looked elegant and intellectual in his white coat, but the shuttlecock he was holding was so cute!

Noah felt immense regret; he hadn't spent enough time with Qi Yuan, so much so that he had missed seeing Qi Yuan dressed so adorably.

Dunlop came to ask the scholars about the progress of the project and whether it was really necessary to build so many base stations and signal towers.

Croft then remembered that he hadn't reported to Dunlop that they had achieved complete long-distance communication, so he immediately asked Croft to try it out.

He was on the fifth floor, and Noah was on the first floor. The two of them were talking on the phone to check on their work.

Hearing Noah's voice so close to his ear from the fifth floor, Dunlop looked around several times. When he finally confirmed that Noah was not actually speaking to him, he secretly praised the power of the telephone.

Back in the conference room, when the scholars explained some of the principles, Dunlop couldn't understand a word. But thinking that Croft's honest and simple nature meant he couldn't possibly lie to him, he had no choice but to accept that because of the construction of base stations and signal towers everywhere, and the possibility that these signal towers might be built on the territories of the other two families, he had to compromise and tell the other two families about this.

After Dunlop agreed, they would go to a meeting with the other two tribes to inform them and seek their consent to build a signal tower on their territory.

As Noah got up to leave the meeting room, his gaze fell on Qi Yuan again.

He walked over and placed a light kiss on Qi Yuan's cheek, whispering, "Baby, you're so cute like this."

Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, asking softly, "In your eyes, when have I ever been unlovable?"

Noah smiled and patted his head. "I'm going to take care of other things now."

After saying that, Noah turned around and was shocked to find the scholars in the conference room glaring at him with fierce eyes.

That fierce look in their eyes made it seem as if Noah had stolen some treasure from them.

These scholars only dared to stare at Noah with fierce eyes, and dared not say a word.

Noah was suddenly glared at by them and was a little confused. He thought to himself that he didn't owe these scholars anything.

After he left, the scholars began to brainwash Qi Yuan.

“Ah Yuan, you are so intelligent, you can live a good life even without relying on Mr. Noah.”

“Yes, Mr. Noah, if one day you don’t want to live with him anymore, we will pool our money to buy you a small house. Let me tell you how comfortable it is to live alone. You can sleep until you naturally wake up, no one will be watching over you, and you don’t have to please anyone. You can live as freely as you want.”

“That’s right, A-Yuan, you’re smart and a great cook. You’ll definitely be better off living alone!”

Noah hadn't gone far when he overheard the scholars' conversation. He turned to look at Dunlop beside him and asked, "Did you send your scholars to bewitch my precious son?"

"Nonsense!" Dunlop cursed. "Scholars are the most arrogant people in the North Continent. Some of them are so bold that they'll hand out leaflets to insult those who are dissatisfied. If it weren't for this research, I wouldn't have been able to invite so many scholars. Do you think I have so much money to burn that I'd ask them to badmouth me behind my back?"

Dunlop also overheard the scholars trying to persuade Qi Yuan to leave Noah, and said, "Why don't you reflect on yourself? Why are they advising Qi Yuan to leave you? Is it because you've treated him badly?"

Noah was full of doubts. He thought about it quietly for a long time but couldn't figure out what wrong he had done recently. Come to think of it, he was intimate with Qi Yuan last night, and Qi Yuan didn't seem to dislike him.

Noah suddenly remembered Asha's report.

Asa told him that the scholars in the project team initially disliked Qi Yuan, but after being impressed by the knowledge he shared, they now all like him very much.

Perhaps it was because the scholars liked Qi Yuan so much that they wanted him to leave their clutches.

Noah was now in a hurry. He had to brainwash Qi Yuan again and not let him listen to the slander of outsiders.

With many things to attend to, Noah couldn't turn back to find Qi Yuan.

After discussing with Dunlop about informing the other two families, the two families sent people out to deliver a message that they would meet at 3 p.m. to discuss something important.

He arranged for someone to deliver the message, and Noah also returned to work at the company.

Time flew by, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Kyle came to remind him that the three major families had all arrived and it was time to go to the meeting.

Noah gathered the documents he needed for the meeting and came to the conference room, where the others were already seated.

Only Noah and Dunlop knew the topic of this meeting; Sera and Levy had no idea what the meeting was about and came to attend after receiving the news.

The majority of the wireless communications shares are held by the Leopold family. Noah looked at Dunlop and indicated that he would be the one to inform everyone at this meeting.

Dunlop was still somewhat conflicted. He looked at Noah one last time. Noah's expression was calm, showing no concern whatsoever for what was about to happen.

He seemed disdainful of sharing the secrets of wireless communication with the other two families.
