The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 760
The security guards, who were standing at the entrance shouted out to the businessmen who were standing out in the courtyard.
The rich folks then hastily, but excitedly rushed forwards to welcome the newly-arrived guest.
âD*mn! Why is there an electric tricycle parked at the entrance? What are you doing? Get lost kid!â
The security guard came over and shoved Gerald aside forcefully.
âOh God, how embarrassing!â
Feeling humiliated, Xyla covered her eyes.
âIf thereâs anything youâd like to say, say it nicely. Why did you push me around? Iâll leave now, alright!?â
Gerald stepped on the gas pedal and left.
After the convoy rolled to a stop, a couple of middle-aged businessmen got out of the vehicles. There were their rich daughters and sons too. It quickly became clear that these were their most distinguished guests today.
The other presidents lined up to welcome them. Pleasantries and greetings were exchanged.
âLadies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me the honor to attend the party this time around. But itâs a slight misfortune that we failed to invite a very distinguished guest today. We cannot express how regretful we are in relation to this situation!â
All of them stood along the side of the red carpet and listened to the president who appeared to be the organizer as he spoke.
There was a lot of discussion going on among the crowd. âWho is that?â
âWhoâs that big shot? Chairman Gordon!â
The others asked.
Vincy had already been led into the hall of the hotel by Xyla.
At that moment, they looked at Chairman Gordon, who was standing on the stage.
Subconsciously, fear had started taking hold of her heart.
She was slightly anxious as she tugged at her boyfriendâLeonâs arm, who was standing next to her.
âLeon, who is the guy that he said he wanted to invite?â
âHow would I know? Didnât you see how clueless we all were?â
Leon was not being nice. After all, his father had already been informed of the mess which Xyla had stirred up.
Xyla felt bad for it, so she shut her mouth up immediately.
Prior to that accident, she was excited to be able to attend such a grand occasion. She thought that sheâd get to know lots of rich people.
But deep down, she was feeling slightly insecure about herself.
It was because Gerald seemed to have answered a call just now, and the one who called him was also a person named âChairman Gordonâ.
She wondered if it was the same person.
But the more she thought about it, the less plausible it became.
Who was Gerald? At most, the only explanation she could come up with was that his childhood friend had introduced him to Chairman Gordon. Without that friend, he was just another nobody!
Xyla felt secure and relieved when she thought of that.
âHeh heh! There are a whole lotta things we can talk about when it comes to this âbig shotâ. Our distinguished guestâChairman Larson, who came here all the way from Mayberry, and his daughter happen to be close friends of his!â
Chairman Gordon said with a smile.
Chairman Larson responded with a proud smile of his own.
The facial expression of his daughter changed too. She started smiling but with hints of excitement and anxiousness.
âAh! Chairman Gordon, donât keep us guessing. Hurry up and tell us who that big shot is!â
Some of the more curious ones have noticed how mysterious Chairman Gordon was acting.
âHow about this? Let me give you a hint, maybe then, youâll figure out who he is! Heâs the owner of the most luxurious villa in MayberryâMountain Top Villa. Besides that, heâs also a millionaire in Sunnydale Province and the president of the most powerful group in Mayberry!â
Chairman Gordon said enthusiastically.
âAh!â
Everyone below the stage was shocked when they heard what Chairman Gordon said.
âOh gosh! I know who heâs talking about now! Is it Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?â
âHow is that even possible? Has Mr. Crawford of Mayberry finally come to Salford Province?â
âAs powerful and capable as Chairman Gordon is, itâs preposterous to think that heâs able to invite Mr.
Crawford all the way from Mayberry to attend this event.â
Their discussion was ceaseless.
The majority of the businessmen gathered here today thought that Chairman Gordon was just tooting his horn.
They thought that Chairman Gordon didnât even have Mr. Crawfordâs contact number, never mind being able to invite him.
âArenât you just trying to use the name of Mr. Crawford to your advantage, and did you rely on the Larson family from Mayberry to get to know the man himself?â
At that moment, Fabian, who was under the stage, put forth his brainy deduction.
âBut I heard that Chairman Gordon has undertaken a few projects of Mr. Crawfordâs in Mayberry. Could it be that heâs actually well-acquainted with Mr. Crawford?â
A few rich heirs had come to Leonâs side and started discussing.
âXyla, Vincy, arenât the two of you from Mayberry? You should know about Mr. Crawford of Mayberry well, right?â
Out in public, Fabian treated Xyla decently.
Both Xyla and Vincy shook their heads and said, âWe only heard of him from our classmates. Heâs very powerful and influential. Everyone in Mayberry knows about him. But we donât know any more than that!â
âVincy, why donât you ask our ex-classmates? I was so anxious just now that I almost smashed my phone!â
Since the rich heirs had started talking about Mr. Crawford, it would be inappropriate of her and mighty awkward if she didnât participate in the discussion, since she was from Mayberry as well.
Vincy nodded.
She reached down to fumble for her phone in her bag but she froze up seconds later. âOh no, I think I might have left my bag on Geraldâs tricycleâ¦â
