Female Novel
Chapter 666
Chapter 666 It Was Her Father
Bianca did not expect to see Jack Norman when their car passed through the town where the projectwas located.
Jack was wearing a casual farming uniform and leading a group of officials to the countryside. He hadhis sleeves rolled up as he led the way. He was talking to the villagers in a kind voice and had a friendlypresence. He even occasionally bent over to help the villagers pick vegetables.
Bianca was sitting in the car where she saw him through the window. There was an indescribable warmfeeling growing in her heart.
It was her father.
Only when the car drove far away and Jack was the size of an ant did Bianca turn away.
Bianca took the project managers to the destination proposed by Zayne in his bidding proposal tosurvey the place.
The location that Zayne mentioned was a barren mountain in Bay Town that had not been minedbefore. The area was about several thousand acres and was about six kilometers away from thefamous Deer River, a local scenic spot.
Bianca wore comfortable sportswear and sneakers in anticipation of a climb.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail. Her delicate and youthful face made it seem like she had justgraduated from university. It looked odd when she stood among the middle-aged managers with potbellies.
Although the mountain was said to be barren, it was actually not. It was located in a place with lowaltitude, and the trees growing on it were lush. Coupled with the stones and the flocks of birds, it wastruly one of nature's best works.
During the journey, Bianca took notes of various points while listening to Zayne talk about the history ofthe barren mountain, the value of the development, and so on.
Due to how long the journey was, Bianca's tender face was now hot red and dripping with sweat. Hersweat shone like diamonds under the sun.
Zayne thought that such a petite and exquisite woman as Bianca would not have the strength to climbso far up, but he did not expect her to be so full of vigor and vitality.
For the few managers who were with them, this was their first time exercising in a while. They were outof breath when they were at the halfway point. On the other hand, Bianca, a weak-looking woman, hadmanaged to put some distance between her and several big men.
Some middle-aged managers were dissatisfied with Bianca's behavior, thinking that Zayne's proposalwas stupid.
Anyone would opt to bid for a plot of land with development value. Why would anyone bid for a barrenmountain?
They felt that something was wrong with the acting CEO. Instead of rejecting Zayne's ridiculous plan,she, the acting CEO, came here to conduct a site visit and made them all suffer together. She wasbeing unreasonable!
However, despite their endless complaints, no one dared to refute her to her face.
After all, the acting CEO held nearly half of T Corporation's shares now. She had absolute power andauthority. They could only aggrievedly follow her to the site.
"Mr. Snyder!" Bianca, who was checking out the barren mountain, suddenly stopped and called out toZayne.
Zayne, who was a few steps behind her, heard Bianca calling out to him.
He ran to Bianca and asked, "Ms. Rayne, what's the matter?"
Zayne was about 35 years old. He was not tall and was slightly fat with a tanned face. He would showa silly smile from time to time, looking just like an honest man.
Zayne did not dare to look straight into Bianca's eyes because the woman’s eyes were too clear.
Although T Corporation had its fair share of beautiful female employees, due to Zayne's dressing andstrong accent, most women looked at him with disdain and even mockery. Very few treated himsincerely like Bianca.novelbin
"Mr. Snyder, it seems that there’s nothing special about this mountain, except for its low altitude and itsproximity to Deer River, the tourist area. There's no electricity here and the landscape is normal. Whydo you want to bid for this barren mountain?" Bianca closed her notebook and asked him softly.
Project manager A sneered and said, "Mr. Snyder, this place is situated so far from the city and thetransportation here is inconvenient. There are no subways, light rail, or buses that lead to this place.One can only travel here by car. What an 'amazing' place this is!"
Project manager B was panting and wiped the sweat from his cheeks. He pointed to the hard stones onthe floor and said angrily, "Do you want to buy this barren mountain and develop it into a touristattraction? Please, don't joke around. It's so close to Deer River. There are no historical monuments or
outstanding natural scenery here. Besides, the poor conditions here will make it difficult to makeartificial scenery."
Project manager C was ruder. He expressed his dissatisfaction in a straightforward manner, "Mr.Snyder, we came with you all the way to this barren land and it turns out to be a normal plot of land!Are you messing with us? Ms. Rayne, let's go back. I don't think there's any need to continue with thisproject."
Everyone rambled on and the various accusations made Zayne's awkward face turn red.
He glanced at Bianca a little nervously, tidied his hair, and stammered," Bianca... Ms. Rayne, I..."
Bianca gave Zayne an encouraging smile and said, "It's alright, Mr. Snyder. I believe you have yourreasons for choosing this barren mountain. Explain it in detail to us. We're not in a hurry."
Zayne looked at Bianca's trusting eyes, and her gentle words made his face even redder.
Eventually, he summoned the courage to speak, "I chose to bid for this place... not to develop touristattractions but to build a residential area here... This mountain has been abandoned for a long time andthe government wants to do something to turn it into a tourist attraction. However, the land area issmall, coupled with the restriction of natural conditions, it's useless for them to invest in it. But it's a pityto discard it, so it's just abandoned now...This barren mountain has become a hot potato for thegovernment. It’s far away from the city and the government is eager to get rid of it, so the price isextremely cheap. I think this is an opportunity for us... Although it's remote, the air here has highoxygen content and the vegetation is abundant. We can push to build houses here if we win the bid..."
Zayne's speech was a little choppy because everyone was staring at him.
Bianca listened patiently to his explanation and clapped her hands when he was done. "Mr. Snyder,you're doing great. Please continue."
When he heard Bianca's encouragement, Zayne ignored the eyes of several other project managers.His voice grew louder as he said, "Also, the climate here is amazing and green plants cover nearly80% of the land here. Although there's no water source on the mountain, it's relatively close to DeerLake Reservoir. The resources here are easily accessible, and on top of that, it's only five kilometersaway from the 10,000-yard farm. After the residents move in, they can pick fresh fruits and melonsthroughout the year; and..."
Zayne kept talking about his proposal, and by the time he was done, it was half an hour later.
Bianca had been listening patiently all this while.
Then, she nodded and said, "Mr. Snyder, after we get back, give me more details about the proposal. Iwant to bid for this barren mountain."
