Chapter 137

After listening to her mother's words, Marilyn felt devastated.

In the Quesnell family, Marilyn was just a commodity that could be used for trading.

"Marilyn, don't make your mom angryanymore. Don't come back without a reason. Don't cause Kendrick to overthink. Go back quickly," Spencer said to Marilyn unhappily.

A line of tears flowed down Marilyn's face.

Looking at the parents in front of her, Marilyn just felt that they were so unfamiliar. She thought, "Is this manor really still my home?"

At the same time, in a hotel in Xandenia, Robert, who hadn't slept at all during the first night he arrived, had spent another day creating a detailed proposal before lying on the bed and falling asleep.

The next morning when Robert got up, Sophia was already waiting in the hotel lobby.

As soon as Sophia saw Robert, she walked over to him directly."Mr. Zabinski, the chief officer has agreed to meet us, but only for half an hour."

"Half an hour..." Robert pondered for a while,then nodded vigorously."That's enough time!"

Fifteen minutes later, Robert and Sophia sat in an office.

The chief officer was Michael Sullivan. He was a man in his forties, and he specialized in managing construction planning. He maintained a well-toned figure, and he looked very smart and capable. His office was neat, and his desk was decorated with potted plants.

"Hello, Mr. Sullivan." Robert sat down.

"Mr. Zabinski,I've heard something aboutZabinski Group and Zabel Group. I must warn you beforehand. Although Zabel Group has a plot of land here, the fundamental problem is that it can solve the problem of local people's job availability and provide at least 30 jobs. I don't understand the grievances between the two corporations, and I don't want to know. I just want to say that, I hope that entrepreneurs will do something beneficial to the people. Mr. Zabinski, if you came here today wanting to talk about land acquisition,I can tell you now that it is impossible."

Michael had always been swift and decisive at work, and he was the same when he spoke. He didn't give Robert any chance at all.

Robert had already asked about Michael's style. Robert smiled and said, "Mr. Sullivan, this time, I just want to get some support on our policy. This is a thesis I did during university. Please have a look, Mr. Sullivan."

Robert put the thesis in front of Michael.

Michael merely glanced at the thesis a few times before shifting his gaze to Robert and asked,"Did you write this thesis back then?"

Robert nodded.

"Great!" Michael gave a thumbs-up.

Back then, Michael had also read this thesis, and some of the ideas mentioned and the surveys conducted in the thesis were taken very seriously by him.

He wanted to see the author of the thesis at that time, but he had no time.

"Mr. Sullivan,I know the local situation verywell. I also know that once Zabel Group's holiday resort is built, it can solve employment problems, but it can only solve the problem at hand and not the root causes. However, the Zabinski Group has always been people-oriented. You can see that Cheshire Hall, which we opened in Yrinas, is full of good reviews online. We provide free medical

consultations and free medical treatments. We always put people first when we do everything. Thus, in regards to employment issues, we at Zabinski Group are willing to contribute our own strength."

Robert continued, "Besides, the situation here is not that people cannot get employed, but that it is inconvenient for them to get employed. I came here to get two plots of land, but what I want to do is not build a holiday resort, nor build a building to make a profit or to use as a business model. What I want to build is a school."

"You want to build a school?" Michael's bodysuddenly swayed.
