Chapter 952: A Call From Priscilla Marcus
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the dormitory, Connor took out his mobile phone and dialed Thomas’s number. Then, he told him about the meeting with Joey’s younger brother.
Originally, Connor had planned to meet Joey’s younger brother in person and chat with him about the subway project.
After all, Connor could be considered to have a favor to ask of others. If he did not appear, it would seem unreasonable.
But because he knew that Rachel was using him, Connor gave up on this idea.
He wanted Rachel to deal with this and see if Rachel really intended to cooperate with him.
After explaining this to Thomas, Connor took a taxi home alone.
Connor had been busy with the school sports meet for the whole day, so he felt a little tired when he got home. After a simple wash, he lay on his bed to rest.
Connor quickly fell asleep.
When Connor opened his eyes again, he realized that he had slept until 2 PM.
Thomas, Rachel, and Joey’s younger brother met at 10 AM, so Connor knew they should have finished their meeting by now.
So he hurriedly picked up his phone and found that there was indeed a missed call from Thomas. Connor hurriedly called back.
‘Ring, ring!’
After the phone rang twice, Thomas picked up the call.
“How did it go?” Connor asked directly.
“Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. The matter has been settled. Langston Shaw, the director of Davenport’s subway bureau, has agreed to give this project to us internally. He also promised to give us the management rights for five years…” Thomas said happily.
“It went so smoothly?” Hearing that, Connor was more or less surprised.
“Since Ms. Wallace has personally stepped up, Langston naturally has to give. Originally, I thought getting two years of management rights like Rockefeller would be very good, but I didn’t expect Ms. Wallace to be so hardcore and ask for five years of management rights. Although Langston was a little hesitant, he still agreed in the end!” Thomas said with a smile.
Hearing that, Connor was a little surprised. First of all, he expected things to go less smoothly. Secondly, he didn’t expect Rachel to really help him.
Rachel had offended Rockefeller but helped him win the subway project. From this point, it could be seen that Rachel was not Rockefeller’s person. If Rachel were Rockefeller’s person, she would definitely not do this.
Connor began to hesitate again. Was Rachel worthy of trust?
“What do you plan to do next?” Connor asked in a low voice.
“Mr. McDonald, since Langston has already agreed to give us the subway project internally, there’s no need for us to continue competing with the people from Rockefeller…” Thomas said slowly.
“So we can wait until the subway project starts bidding, right?” Connor asked.
“Mr. McDonald, didn’t you take this project to attract the attention of the person in charge of Rockefeller?” Thomas asked.
“Yeah, why?” Connor was curious.
“In that case, we could add fuel to the fire. I will hold a party in your name and invite all the big shots of Porthampton. Langston and the others will also attend,” Thomas said.
“In my name? Do I have to show my face too?” Connor frowned and asked.
“Of course, you have to show yourself…” Thomas replied.
“In that case, doesn’t that mean that the entire Porthampton will know my identity?” Connor was somewhat speechless.
After all, Connor’s identity was exposed at the Porthampton University, and he was already very distressed.
If Thomas did host the party in his name, then basically everyone in Porthampton would know Connor and that Connor was the richest guy in Northampton. Connor was still very resistant to this kind of thing.
Connor even suspected that Rachel had said something to Thomas. It was as if the two of them had colluded. One wanted him to expose his identity in school, and the other wanted him to expose his identity in city. He might not be able to stay in Porthampton in the future.
“This is just a suggestion. If we host this party, first of all, we can attract the attention of the people from Rockefeller. Secondly, we can send a message to the outside world that this project has been given to our company. Other companies will not compete with us.”
Thomas paused and continued, “Mr. McDonald, your goal is not to win this project but to use this project to threaten Birdie, the person in charge of Rockefeller in Porthampton, right?”
“Yes…” Connor nodded.
“But once the bidding is over, Birdie will completely lose her identity as the person in charge. Even if we win this project, we won’t be able to use this project to negotiate with Birdie…”
“But if we let everyone know that we have internally decided on this subway project before the bidding starts, Birdie will not be able to sit still and take the initiative to contact you. You can use this subway project to negotiate with her by then!” Thomas explained.
Hearing Thomas’ plan, Connor nodded thoughtfully.
Before the bidding ended, this project was Connor’s only bargaining chip. However, this project was no longer a bargaining chip that Connor could use once the bidding ended.
That was why Thomas wanted to use this method to spread the news.
“I understand what you mean. Let me think about it!” Connor said.
“All right!” Thomas quickly agreed and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Connor weighed the pros and cons, thinking about what to do next.
However, Connor’s phone rang again.
Connor looked down at his phone. When he saw the name on the phone, he was surprised because the person who called him was Freya’s cousin, Priscilla Marcus.
Connor’s eyes flashed with excitement. It had been a long time since Priscilla had contacted him.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Now, Priscilla took the initiative to contact Connor. It was very likely that she had received some news from Freya.
Therefore, Connor hurriedly picked up his phone and answered the call.
