Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 668

At the end of the meal, Mr. Norman chatted with Bianca in private about the details of developing the mountainous area.

He would support Bianca's decision to develop a residential area there.

Bianca hesitated before letting Mr. Norman know her concerns. "I've surveyed the geography of this area, Uncle Jack. The existing conditions aren't anything special, but the environment here is amazing. If T Corporation embarks on this project, I'm not too worried about technical challenges like carving the mountain or dredging the water channels. Instead, I'm concerned about connecting the area to the public transport network…"

T Corporation's engineering team was top-notch, and Bianca was not worried about the technical aspects. What she worried about was that the remote area was not connected to any public transport lines.

For many house-buyers, accessibility to public transport was a major factor. It would also cause the area to develop rapidly.

If the residential area was poorly connected, the beautiful scenery would not matter. T Corporation could build the best houses, but most of them would remain vacant and unsold.

Mr. Norman looked at Bianca's clear eyes. He wanted to pat her shoulder, but he hesitated and knocked on the table instead. "You don't have to worry about public transport. By next February, construction will begin for Lines 15, 18, and 21 of the A City Subway that will go from Downtown A City to Bay Town. Phase 9 of the A City Light Rail that goes from A City Train Station to Bay Town should also begin construction at the same time. When that happens, Bay Town will be connected to the city center."

"Is that true, Uncle Jack?"

Bianca smiled, seemingly in disbelief. "Connecting Bay Town to the city center is big news! Why didn't our marketing department hear any news of it?"

If the corporations had known about the news, they would have fought over the plot of land and drove land prices sky-high. Why would land prices remain so low then?

Mr. Norman said lovingly to Bianca, "I've just submitted the proposals for those projects to the higher-ups, and it'll take some time before I receive a reply. I can't promise that all of the projects will be approved, but I can guarantee that we'll get at least two subway lines and the light rail extension. I haven't told anyone about this news yet, Bea, you're the only one who knows about this. You'll have to keep the information a secret before the higher-ups approve the projects. I've watched that Luke boy grow up, and I've always been impressed by his capabilities. I didn't expect that he would… This is the only way that I can help you."

Bianca stared at Jack's stern but loving expression and his graying sideburns. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you. If I manage to obtain this plot of land, I'll make sure that we will not compromise on the quality of the houses. I want to build the best houses and benefit the citizens of A City."

Mr. Norman nodded and smiled. "Do your best, child. I trust in your capabilities. I've never set foot in the business world before, but I've heard that it's cruel and merciless like the battlefield. You'll have to be wary at all times that someone might be scheming against you. If you need any help, don't hesitate to come to me. I'll help you wherever I can."

The last sentence sounded familiar. Queenie had told her the same thing.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman had not formally recognized Bianca as their birth daughter, but they were already showering their love and care on her. Bianca was very grateful for that.

Bianca decided that she would go to the Norman residence to personally thank them after the situation in T Corporation went back to normal again.

…

Another general meeting was held in T Corporation in the afternoon. Bianca arrived on the dot once again.

Most of the shareholders were already there when she arrived.

Jenson was the last to arrive. He sauntered into the conference room at five minutes past the hour.

To him, Bianca was only an inexperienced young girl incapable of leading a multinational company like T Corporation.
