Chapter 332 Meeting Neil
“Sure. In that case, we can meet at Seasons Hotel at ten,” Donald replied.
Neil ruled over Pollerton. His family had been around for over five hundred years. The Yund family was one of the Ten Prestigious Families in Pollerton.
At ten, Donald went to Seasons Hotel, the hotel owned by Charles.
Charles, Lana, Reina, and Wynter followed behind Donald and entered the private room.
The moment they sat down, footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
The footsteps sounded firm and strong.
In the next instant, the door was pushed open, and a man entered.
He was around fifty years old and had a chiseled jawline. The man was tall and lean. Dressed in a suit, he had his hair combed all the way back. Though he dressed modestly, he exuded an imposing aura of a natural leader.
He was Neil, the most influential man in Pollerton!
“It’s an honor to meet you in person, Mr. Yund. I’m Donald Campbell,” introduced Donald. He approached Neil and extended his right hand to him.
Neil looked at Donald before shaking hands with him. “I’ve heard a lot about you, but I had no idea that you are so young. I also didn’t know that the renowned Lord Campbell is a Pollertonian. I’m a little surprised by that. It’s Pollerton’s honor to have you here!”
“No, not at all. I can’t be compared to you. After all, you care for the welfare of the public,” Donald replied solemnly. “Please have a seat, Mr. Yund.”
Neil sat down and took a sweeping glance at everyone in the room. After a brief pause, he sighed. “Although I’m in the country, I’ve heard of your name. The elders in my family often bring your name up.”
Donald merely smiled.
Neil gave a chuckle. “Joshua has already informed me of your intention.”
Donald nodded. “The equipment is too big. Even though we have already planned out the route beforehand, there are still a few toll stations that can’t be avoided.”
Neil immediately said, “You can tear them down. I won’t stop you from doing something that will help the local economy. As for the compensation, we can follow the market rate.”
Donald looked at him gratefully. “Thank you for your support. Does anyone have any objections about it?”
“Currently, the person in charge of the toll stations is Adrian Stern. But don’t worry about it. You don’t have to notify him about this. I’ve been wanting to do a check on him for quite some time now. Go ahead and tear them down,” reassured Neil.
Donald stood up. “Thank you once again, Mr. Yund.”
Neil waved his hand in a dismissive gesture and said, “Let me make the arrangements for lunch.”
Donald grinned. “All right. I’ll make myself at home then.”
At that moment, Neil had a very favorable impression of Donald. That was because the latter could have directly dismantled his toll stations without informing him, but he did not do that.
Donald could easily handle a huge project like the land reclamation project. Thus, dismantling the toll stations was nothing to him.
The reason why Donald wanted to discuss it with him first was that he wanted to abide by the rules.
Since both of them were people who abided by the rules, they got along very well.
“One more thing. I hope you can keep my identity a secret,” Donald requested.
Neil waved his hand. “I understand. It’s a military secret, right? I get it.”
At two in the afternoon, Donald arrived on time at the entrance of Pollerton University as promised.
He had dyed his hair. Donald looked much younger now that his hair was not grayish.
When Ysabel saw him, she almost could not believe her eyes. Staring at him incredulously, she asked, “It’s only been a couple of days since I last saw you. Why have you lost so much weight?”
“I haven’t been feeling too well recently,” answered Donald.
Ysabel was wearing her school uniform, and she tied her hair up in a ponytail. There was a youthful aura around her, and she looked innocent and attractive.
Every student who walked past her could not help but turn their heads for a second glance.
After all, Ysabel was known as Pollerton University’s campus belle.
As for Donald, he had donned a suit that fit him perfectly. He wore a mysterious expression on his face.
As they stood side by side, they looked like a match made in heaven.
Ysabel’s heart ached for him as she quickly ran over. Holding onto one of his arms, she pouted. “You should take better care of yourself!”
