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.
“D*mn! Why is there an electric tricycle parked at the entrance? What are you doing? Get lost kid!”
The security guard came over and shoved Gerald aside forcefully.
“Oh God, how embarrassing!”
Feeling humiliated, Xyla covered favonovel.com eyes.
“If there’s anything you’d like to say, say it nicely. Why did you push me around? I’ll leave now, alright!?”
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.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me the honor to attend the party this time around. But it’s 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!”
All of them stood along the side of the red carpet and listened to the president who appeared to be the organizer as favonovel.com spoke.
There was a lot of discussion going on among the crowd. “Who is that?”
“Who’s that big shot? Chairman Gordon!”
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 favonovel.com heart.
She was slightly anxious as favonovel.com tugged at favonovel.com boyfriend—Leon’s arm, who was standing next to her. “Leon, who is the guy that favonovel.com said favonovel.com wanted to invite?”
“How would I know? Didn’t you see how clueless we all were?”
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 favonovel.com shut favonovel.com mouth up immediately.
Prior to that accident, favonovel.com was excited to be able to attend such a grand occasion. She thought that she’d get to know lots of rich people.
But deep down, favonovel.com was feeling slightly insecure about herself.
It was because Gerald seemed to have answered a call just now, and the one who called favonovel.com was also a person named “Chairman Gordon”.
She wondered if it was the same person.
But the more favonovel.com thought about it, the less plausible it became.
Who was Gerald? At most, the only explanation favonovel.com could come up with was that his childhood friend had introduced favonovel.com to Chairman Gordon. Without that friend, favonovel.com was just another nobody!
Xyla felt secure and relieved when favonovel.com thought of that.
“Heh heh! There are a whole lotta things we can talk about when it comes to this ‘big shot’. Our distinguished guest—Chairman Larson, who came here all the way from Mayberry, and his daughter happen to be close friends of his!”
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.
“Ah! Chairman Gordon, don’t keep us guessing. Hurry up and tell us who that big shot is!”
Some of the more curious ones have noticed how mysterious Chairman Gordon was acting.
“How about this? Let me give you a hint, maybe then, you’ll figure out who favonovel.com is! He’s the owner of the most luxurious villa in Mayberry—Mountain Top Villa. Besides that, he’s also a millionaire in Sunnydale Province and the president of the most powerful group in Mayberry!”
Chairman Gordon said enthusiastically.
“Ah!”
Everyone below the stage was shocked when they heard what Chairman Gordon said.
“Oh gosh! I know who he’s talking about now! Is it Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?”
“How is that even possible? Has Mr. Crawford of Mayberry finally come to Salford Province?”
“As powerful and capable as Chairman Gordon is, it’s preposterous to think that he’s able to invite Mr. Crawford all the way from Mayberry to attend this event.”
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 didn’t even have Mr. Crawford’s contact number, never mind being able to invite him.
“Aren’t 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?”
At that moment, Fabian, who was under the stage, put forth his brainy deduction.
“But I heard that Chairman Gordon has undertaken a few projects of Mr. Crawford’s in Mayberry. Could it be that he’s actually well-acquainted with Mr. Crawford?”
A few rich heirs had come to Leon’s side and started discussing.
“Xyla, Vincy, aren’t the two of you from Mayberry? You should know about Mr. Crawford of Mayberry well, right?”
Out in public, Fabian treated Xyla decently.
Both Xyla and Vincy shook their heads and said, “We only heard of favonovel.com from our classmates. He’s very powerful and influential. Everyone in Mayberry knows about him. But we don’t know any more than that!”
“Vincy, why don’t you ask our ex-classmates? I was so anxious just now that I almost smashed my phone!”
Since the rich heirs had started talking about Mr. Crawford, it would be inappropriate of favonovel.com and mighty awkward if favonovel.com didn’t participate in the discussion, since favonovel.com was from Mayberry as well.
Vincy nodded.
She reached down to fumble for favonovel.com phone in favonovel.com bag but favonovel.com froze up seconds later. “Oh no, I think I might have left my bag on Gerald’s tricycle…”
