Chapter 139

Michael sighed,"Mr. Zabinski, I'll understand if you think this is too difficult. It's enough for us to know that you have good intentions."

"No, it's not like that." Robert waved his handrepeatedly."Mr. Sullivan, I think that when it comes to building a school, the most important thing is making sure it's convenient for students to access. But after taking a look,I realized the parcel of land located right in the center had been assigned to Zabel Group. I was thinking of building a school nearby to make it easy for the people, but there might be a conflict between the school and the holiday resort. Of course, what I'm saying is all hypothetical. We'll need to do some surveying to see if the school will indeed be affected by the holiday resort."

Michael was immediately relieved by Robert's words."Mr. Zabinski, you don't have to worry about Zabel Group's holiday resort affecting the construction of the school because education is our priority, while a leisure and entertainment spot is completely optional."

Robert was completely relieved by Michael's words. "Very well then, Mr. Sullivan. I'll bring the agreement to you tomorrow."

"Mr. Zabinski, once again, on behalf ofeveryone, thank you." Michael shook Robert's hand excitedly.

After a night's rest, Robert prepared the agreement and went to Michael's office. Robert could finally relax after the school and road construction had been set into stone.

Michael was completely relieved too.

Before Robert left, Michael kept holding onto Robert's hand to express his gratitude.

On the way back to Yrinas, Sophia was driving, and Robert was sitting in the back seat. The most difficult part was over, and what was coming next would be much easier.

Zabel Group could kiss their business goodbye once the school construction was placed next to their holiday resort.

As Michael said, a school is a must, while a holiday resort is not.

The two highways would bypass Zabel Group's holiday resort. It would be impossible for any customers to access the holiday resort before the highways were completed.

As for the cost of building the school and highways…Well, Robert didn't care about the cost since he was worth tens of billions of

dollars.

Most importantly, Zabinski Group's reputation would rise to new heights once news of the construction spread. This alone was worth it, and it would be more cost-effective than employing a team of publicists.

Yes, Robert was throwing money around, but for a good cause that would bring good publicity for the company.

Both Robert and Sophia hadn't shown their face in Zabinski Group for days.

In the conference room of Zabinski Group, Thomas was furious.

"What the heck was he thinking? How can henot come to work when many things need his attention? What is he doing? Is this company a joke to him? We've been working like slaves here, and he's actually out there having the time of his life?"

Thomas slammed the file in his hand down on the table.

The people present in the conference room were split into two groups. Some people, like Thomas, were furious, while the rest remained silent.

Thomas's face darkened. "He didn't think twice

about crossing Zabel Group from Acocester for a woman and his personal grievances. Why is he so insistent on competing with Zabel Group? What's Cheshire Hall all about? Free medicine and free treatment? We lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in just one week! The company will keep bleeding money if Cheshire Hall remains open! Don't get me started about how he paid 30% above the market price for that piece of land in Bay City. Doesn't he know how hard it is to earn money? A few days ago, he asked his assistant,I mean his lover, to take out a bank loan to build a holiday resort. All these costs aren't something Zabinski Group can afford! Zabinski Group will crumble if the holiday resort doesn't start turning profits!"

Thomas kept up his tirade.

Patrick, the head of the HR department, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Faber, you should watch what you're saying. You shouldn't call his assistant his lover."

"What's the matter? I'm just saying it like it is,"retorted Thomas while glaring at Patrick. He then threw down several photos on the table.
