The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 738
âI think that Chairman Gordon might have mistaken him for someone else. Or is that guy a driver of some kind of big shot? How is it possible? The most distinguished person who has come here today is Chairman Gordon, isnât it?â
The others started to discuss ceaselessly.
âMr. Crawford, you mustâve been so busy that youâve forgotten about it. You might have forgotten about me. You donât know me, but I know you. Haha! Here is my name card.â
Chairman Gordon smiled happily and said.
Before this, it wouldâve been impossible for him to have any kind of contact with Mr. Crawford. But he was the host of this event today, so the tables have turned in his favor. Surprisingly, Mr. Crawford chose to attend this event of his without prior notification.
Gerald took the name card and glanced at it. Chairman Gordon was involved in the development of real estate.
He found the name of Chairman Gordonâs company rather familiar.
âMr. Crawford, we met each other during Miss Larsonâs birthday party the other day. We attended that party too. We gained three projects in the development of Serene County as a result! Haha!â
Chairman Gordon said.
âOh! I remember you now. Chairman Gordon, nice to meet you.â
Gerald still did not remember who he was. But it would have been rather awkward if they continued to dwell on that issue.
Hence, he started putting up an act.
âMr. Crawford, let me give you a toast!â
âMr. Crawford, let me give you a toast too!â
At that moment, the chairmen raised their wine glasses to give Gerald a toast.
After Gerald took a sip of his drink, Chairman Gordon invited Gerald to take the front seat, but no matter how they persuaded him, he didnât seem like he was interested.
Gerald claimed that it was fine sitting at his current spot.
Seeing how reluctant Gerald was about switching tables, Chairman Gordon found it a pity, but he did not continue to persuade Gerald.
Gerald then asked Chairman Gordon to go ahead with his business. They could interact with each other later if there was anything else.
Chairman Gordon agreed to his suggestion in less than a second.
After clinking glasses with Gerald one last time, they left.
Xyla was stupefied when she saw that.
âHow is this even possible? Why does Chairman Gordon know Gerald? And why is he so respectful of him?â
Xyla wanted to make use of such a grand occasion to humiliate Gerald that day.
She wanted to take revenge on Gerald for humiliating her in the past.
But now, Xyla became the one who was humiliated.
The more she yearned to take revenge on Gerald, the more humiliated she felt.
Leon only had the right to give a toast to Chairman Gordon and Chairman Wacket as a representative of his father. But those men were too busy talking to Gerald to even notice him.
Only a person who experienced this first hand could understand how painful this stung.
On the contrary, Vincyâs eyes brightened. She was pleasantly surprised by Geraldâs interaction with the chairmen.
Complex emotions were swelling up within Vincyâs heart.
At that moment, Xyla was in no mood to have a drink. She plopped down on her seat with a gloomy expression.
âWhatâs wrong? Vincy, did you hear what Chairman Gordon and the others said to Gerald just now?â
Xyla asked anxiously.
Vincy shook her head.
âI heard parts of it. Sounded like they were talking about projects in Serene County. Thatâs Geraldâs and our hometown. Looks like weâre to expect great development in that region. Could it be that Gerald got to know Chairman Gordon from back then?â
Lennard said with irritation present in his voice.
âBut Chairman Gordon doesnât necessarily have to give a toast to Gerald, does he?â
Xyla said anxiously.
She acted quite anxious as if Gerald had stolen something precious from her.
âIâm not sure about it either. Letâs ask about it from our high school classmates. Maybe they know a thing or two about it. Let me ask them and see how it goes!â
In that instant, Lennard inquired about that in their classâs group chat.
Xyla waited for her answer nervously.
âD*mn! Thereâs indeed someone who knows about it!â
Suddenly, Lennard became quite lively and excited.
âTurns out Gerald has a childhood friend whoâs very powerful and influential within Serene County. His friend has even established a large auto trade company, and that guy apparently has a lot of connections with great people!â
âAh? Do you mean that Gerald knows Chairman Gordon just because of this childhood friend of his?â
Xyla asked.
âIt must be so. Itâs because a classmate of ours heard rumors of how powerful his childhood friend is!â
Lennard said.
âFck! Now that is scary. Dmn it! Why is Gerald so lucky?â
Xyla was still quite furious.
The host of the party finally appeared onstage.
Projected onto the screen was the image of a large villa with exceptionally magnificent architecture.
Everyone did not know why the large villa was shown, but it was clear that they were stunned by its grandiose appearance.
Xyla covered her mouth. âDamn, look at how grand that structure is! Itâs even built on top of the mountain!â
