Louis said, "It went very smoothly. Brandon's company has a discerning eye.

"As soon as Sean submitted his resume, the Human Resources Department sent his resume to Brandon who immediately arranged Sean for an interview and signed a contract with him on the spot. He was hired on that day itself."

. 'Sean is indeed a 'great gift' from Mr.Graham to Brandon, Louis thought.

The production base of Donovan High-tech had been completed, and all the advanced equipment had been installed and adjusted. The next thing was where to find a senior talent who knew both technology and management and had relevant workshop production experience, to manage such a workshop.

Such a senior talent would be an elite, core-level individual wherever they worked, highly valued by companies, and almost impossible to be poached or leave.

Given Donovan High-tech's current situation, attracting such talent is nearly impossible.

Brandon had been looking for headhunters recently, hoping they could help find someone, but with little success.

Upon learning this, Matthew set his sights on a production workshop manager, Sean, from the Graham Group's electronics and communications company.

Sean truly had technical expertise and managerial knowledge. He was trained from the bottom level, knew the production line operation well, and had high emotional intelligence. He was considered one of the best technical management talents at the Graham Group. While the group was planning to transfer Sean to the headquarters to take on an important position in the production center, Matthew secretly intercepted him.

He gifted Sean a luxurious mansion in the golden area of Kimore City, with only one condition, "Leave the Graham Group and apply for a position at Donovan High-tech's artificial intelligence company in Kimore City. It would be another reward after successfully joining." Moreover, the reward was given by Matthew, not Brandon.

Matthew also told Sean, "This company has limitless potential. As long as you perform well, the position you can rise to will definitely be higher than at the Graham Group."

If someone else had said this, Sean would have been unmoved. But Matthew had personally said this.

Matthew's vision and investments had never failed. So, Sean left the Graham Group and applied for a job at Donovan High-tech.

His arrival solved a major problem on Donovan High-tech's production line, ensuring the smooth operation of the advanced production lines.

Louis was always in awe whenever he thought about this.

Whether in real life or romance novels, he had seen countless scenarios of wealthy male leads pursuing female leads. But someone like Matthew, who directly poached senior talent from his own company and sent him to the female lead's company, was truly unprecedented.

'Mr. Graham may not have given Miss Donovan jewelry, mansions, luxury cars, or properties, but everything he's done for her has surpassed material wealth,

'I... really feel like crying. Thinking of this, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Matthew's mind was completely occupied with thoughts of Athena, and he did not even glance at Louis.

After meeting Athena, he told her, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll always be here."

'What's he doing here? Waiting for me to come back, of course. Also, he'll help me keep an eye on the Donovan thought Athena.

Athena narrowed her eyes and smiled gently. "Mm, I'll miss your Then, the next night, she left with her suitcase.

Athena was often absent. The lecturers and coursemates were used to it. Joy would not associate such a young Athena with Franco.

After the National Day celebration, Joy brought her simple equipment and headed to Mount Snowfield.

In a town near Mount Snowfield, she joined up with Franco's archaeological team. To her disappointment, Franco wrapped himself up tightly. Wearing a special mask, his face could not be seen.

She could not help but ask, "I'm your student, but I haven't seen your appearance yet. Can I see how you look?"

"No," Franco said. "You know who I am. If word gets out about my appearance, I probably won't have a peaceful life anymore."

Joy asked, "Don't you trust me?"

Franco was frank. "I indeed don't trust you that much. Even if I trust you, I won't let you know what I look like."

Joy was speechless. When she wanted to say something, Franco simply said, "I hope you're interested in the job, not me." Joy was stunned. "Yes." After that, she never asked what Franco looked like.

After resting at the foot of the mountain for three days and making all kinds of preparations, Athena led a team of more than 20 archeologists into the mountain.

The vast snowy mountains stretched endlessly, the horizons could not be seen even with binoculars, or they were blocked by towering peaks.

Yet, they had to locate the ruins of a prehistoric civilization in this expansive snowfield, which was only slightly easier than finding a needle in a haystack.

After more than a month of trekking through the snowy mountains, they finally discovered a cave deep within the mountains. Inside the cave, they found traces of human life from thousands of years ago, as well as mysterious symbols and patterns etched into the stone walls.

Everyone was overjoyed and meticulously took photos and videos of the murals, ensuring they did not miss a single-trace. Joy, however, was still not allowed to carry or even touch any equipment capable of recording photos or videos. She had to rely solely on her extraordinary memory to retain the intricate, densely packed murals in her mind.

Fortunately, a snowstorm began outside, forcing them to stay in the cave until the storm passed. This gave her ample time to commit everything to memory. Nevertheless, she could not remember all the murals. When she returned to the human world, she would be lucky to be able to recall even 10% or 20% of it..

The snowstorm lasted for over ten days. For most people, being stuck for such a long time in a cave deep in the snow-covered mountains, far from any human settlements, could very likely lead to psychological distress or even mental breakdowns. 10:33 Sun, Nov 17 uses as

However, those who were part of this archaeological team were clearly no ordinary individuals.

Not only were they physically strong, but their mental resilience and depth of knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people. Although some had been injured or fallen ill along the journey, everyone remained mentally strong. When the snowstorm finally subsided, the team finally walked out of the cave, heading toward the distant edge of the snowy mountains.

. Entering the mountains had been slow due to the need to search and investigate prehistoric sites, but exiting the mountains

was a much faster, straightforward journey.

After nearly 20 days of hiking, the team finally made it out of the mountains. They rested two days in a village at the base before heading back to a hotel in the nearby town, where they planned to rest for the night before parting ways. That evening, the group gathered for a meal. Franco, still wearing his mask with an opening for eating, kept his face concealed, and Joy still had no idea what he looked like.

However, this time, Joy had managed to retrieve the sleeping pills she had hidden in the town. She successfully slipped the pills into everyone's drinking water and watched as everyone unknowingly consumed them.
