Chapter 1411
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1411 It was evening by the time Gerald arrived at the headquarters building in Mayberry City.
At the time, there were two deputy general managers in the economic area, Zack being one of them and the other being a person by the name of Winson Zaito, commonly known as Chairman Zaito.
Gerald knew for a fact that both men had always been loyal to the Crawford family, and this was especially the case for Zack.
Even so, since Peter had mentioned that there was a possibility that the duo could be involved in certain matters as well, Gerald knew he had to personally investigate them sooner or later.
âApologies, sir, but both Chairman Zaito and Chairman Lyle arenât present tonight! Youâll have to wait till morning if you still wish to meet them! However, please note that even if you do wish to meet them then, they arenât people you can just ask to meet up with just because you want to!â said the receptionist at the front desk as she looked at Gerald.
Though she appeared polite, she wasnât able to fully conceal her contempt toward him. Who did Gerald even think he was? Was he really thinking that he could just meet up with both of them all willy-nilly?
âJust give them a call and tell them that Gerald Crawford is here!â replied Gerald casually, not wanting to waste any time with her nonsense.
ââ¦What? Did you just claim to be Mr. Gerald Crawford?!â exclaimed all the receptionists seated at the front desk as they instantly stood upright and stared at Gerald in astonishment.
âLook, letâs just skip all this and just make the phone call alreadyâ¦â replied Gerald coldly.
ââ¦Very well, Mr. Crawford! Weâll call both of them immediately⦠In your dreams!â scoffed the receptionist from before, her gaze brimming with ridicule now as she glared at Gerald.
Watching as he frowned back at her, the receptionist then snapped, âWhat? Did you take us all as fools? Just have a good look at how youâre dressed! How dare you even pretend to be the real Mr.
Crawford! Have you any idea how many âMr. Crawfordsâ there are in Mayberry at this very moment? To think youâd dare behave so atrociously here! Do you even know where you are now? Whatever the case is⦠Security! Kick this troublemaker out of this place already!â
As she tossed the pen she was holding onto the ground, a few guardsâwho had been posted nearby âquickly marched over, ready to take action.
Seeing all this, Gerald could only sigh⦠So be it! Since Zack and Winson werenât currently around anyway, he may as well just come back tomorrow morning!
It wasnât as though Gerald wasnât angry at the moment, quite the contrary, in fact.
While anyone who dared offend him would certainly not have a good ending, these people were his own employees. What more, there was no real point in punishing them for their rudeness.
Though Gerald couldâve very easily proved that he was the real dealâallowing him to act all pretentiously before them after thatâhe simply felt that there was no reason for him to do so.
What more, Gerald was currently feeling both extremely anxious and distraught, so he really couldnât be bothered about proving anything to themâ¦
ââ¦Fine, then! Iâll be returning in the morning to meet them, then!â replied Gerald as he shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
Watching as he slid a hand into his pocket before leaving, the guards found themselves glances before laughing contemptuously.
âWho even was that kid? To think that heâd speak so imposingly even though he was dressed so poorly! Haha!â
âHe mustâve escaped from some mental hospital⦠He certainly looked like a fool! Make sure you guys keep an eye out for him if he dares come again tomorrow! We mustnât allow Chairman Lyle and Chairman Zaito to run into him, otherwise weâll all be sacked for sure, especially since the companyâs general meeting is going to be held tomorrow! With that said, everything has to go perfectly!â reminded the receptionist from before as she looked at the guards.
âWorry not, if he really dares to show up tomorrow, weâll just teach him a lesson heâll never forget!â
reassured the guards.
Meanwhile, Gerald was already starting to head to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment when he walked past a group of young men and womenâ¦
Watching as he walked past them, one of the gorgeously dressed girlsâfrom within that groupâcaught a glimpse of him and instantly ended up freezing in place.
ââ¦Hold it. That kid thereâ¦! Stop right there! Youâre that guy, arenât you?â called out that girl as she scratched the back of her head, seemingly trying to remember Geraldâs name.
