“I think that Chairman Gordon might have mistaken favonovel.com 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, isn’t it?”
The others started to discuss ceaselessly.
“Mr. Crawford, you must’ve been so busy that you’ve forgotten about it. You might have forgotten about me. You don’t know me, but I know you. Haha! Here is my name card.”
Chairman Gordon smiled happily and said.
Before this, it would’ve been impossible for favonovel.com to have any kind of contact with Mr. Crawford. But favonovel.com 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 Gordon’s company rather familiar.
“Mr. Crawford, we met each other during Miss Larson’s birthday party the other day. We attended that party too. We gained three projects in the development of Serene County as a result! Haha!”
Chairman Gordon said.
“Oh! I remember you now. Chairman Gordon, nice to meet you.”
Gerald still did not remember who favonovel.com was. But it would have been rather awkward if they continued to dwell on that issue.
Hence, favonovel.com started putting up an act.
“Mr. Crawford, let me give you a toast!”
“Mr. Crawford, let me give you a toast too!”
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, favonovel.com didn’t seem like favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com saw that.
“How is this even possible? Why does Chairman Gordon know Gerald? And why is favonovel.com so respectful of him?”
Xyla wanted to make use of such a grand occasion to humiliate Gerald that day.
She wanted to take revenge on Gerald for humiliating favonovel.com in the past.
But now, Xyla became the one who was humiliated.
The more favonovel.com yearned to take revenge on Gerald, the more humiliated favonovel.com 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, Vincy’s eyes brightened. She was pleasantly surprised by Gerald’s interaction with the chairmen.
Complex emotions were swelling up within Vincy’s heart.
At that moment, Xyla was in no mood to have a drink. She plopped down on favonovel.com seat with a gloomy expression.
“What’s wrong? Vincy, did you hear what Chairman Gordon and the others said to Gerald just now?”
Xyla asked anxiously.
Vincy shook favonovel.com head.
“I heard parts of it. Sounded like they were talking about projects in Serene County. That’s Gerald’s and our hometown. Looks like we’re to expect great development in that region. Could it be that Gerald got to know Chairman Gordon from back then?”
Lennard said with irritation present in his voice.
“But Chairman Gordon doesn’t necessarily have to give a toast to Gerald, does he?”
Xyla said anxiously.
She acted quite anxious as if Gerald had stolen something precious from her.
“I’m not sure about it either. Let’s 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!”
In that instant, Lennard inquired about that in their class’s group chat.
Xyla waited for favonovel.com answer nervously.
“D*mn! There’s indeed someone who knows about it!”
Suddenly, Lennard became quite lively and excited.
“Turns out Gerald has a childhood friend who’s 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!”
“Ah? Do you mean that Gerald knows Chairman Gordon just because of this childhood friend of his?”
Xyla asked.
“It must be so. It’s because a classmate of ours heard rumors of how powerful his childhood friend is!” Lennard said.
“F*ck! Now that is scary. D*mn it! Why is Gerald so lucky?”
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 favonovel.com mouth. “Damn, look at how grand that structure is! It’s even built on top of the mountain!”
