The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 346
Besides being embarrassed, she also started to get a little nervous. The three women felt the same emotion.
They were afraid to even think of the possibility of Gerald actually becoming a big boss!
As Gerald went through the front door of the police station, he was surprised to see Wesley—from the Trade Bureau—had been waiting for him in the car right outside.
Gerald got in the car.
Wesley smiled before saying, “Master. Crawford, you're just a witness so why are you still under arrest? Ha ha ha!"
Gerald knew that he was talking about the fact that Xyleena kept insisting that he was an accomplice in the matter. "Even not mentioning it, he just has a little bit of a grudge against me."
Gerald didn't need to go into the details so he just gave a simple answer.
"Once, so... By the way, Mr. Crawford, there's something in my mind that's still not sure if I should share it with you" Wesley said with a smile as he continued to drive Gerald back to his home school.
Gerald had a good impression of Wesley.
He is a true leader who is eager to grow further and help the business community in Mayberry City grow.
Therefore, Gerald leaned slightly forward to show that he was listening.
“So, here's the problem. Some time ago, our business management team received task indicators to strengthen the construction of our urban and rural economy. Of course, the cooperation of the business management bureau is necessary for us to achieve this. Therefore, I have planned to create several pilot projects in other countries, cities, and townships!”
“I personally feel that I have troubled you a lot, Mr. Crawford's. Therefore, I decided to include some investment resources to some other large groups. Everything has been agreed. Well, who could have anticipated Rye Group to suddenly collapse like that a few days ago! Their collapse triggered a chain reaction, and many other related companies were affected due to the event. After all, all of our initial investments are now gone, just like that!” wesley said with a bitter smile.
Gerald wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. After all, it was he who ordered the Rye Group to be destroyed.
However, it seemed that destroying the group also brought trouble to some others.
“So, here's my view on the situation, Mr. Crawford's. I've found that your hometown is a township in the Quiet Country under Mayberry City. I have seen the information and the location of the transportation there and from what I have found, it is actually quite good. If you are willing to invest in the development of a company there, it will only take a few years to improve the economy of the Quiet Country. Sure, we will also provide all resources as a form of support!”
Wesley tried to get Gerald to invest in the project.
Knowing how efficient Wesley was, Gerald had no problem with it at all.
He will finish his exam in seven days. Once he is done, Gerald will have more free time in the coming months to devote himself to the development of the project.
Moreover, Gerald had previously thought of investing in his own hometown. He had planned to talk to Wesley about it, but Wesley instead came to him!
Now that he has indirectly destroyed Wesley's initial investment plan, Gerald sees no reason to reject his request at all.
After all, the amount Wesley was asking for was not too much for Gerald.
Thus, Gerald immediately agreed to his request.
After returning to his dorm, Gerald found a safe place to place the jade bracelet he had bought.
Harper and Benjamin were busy studying at the time.
As it was uncomfortable for him to talk to her in the dorm, Gerald headed for the bathroom.
According to his calculations, his sister should arrive today. Gerald also intended to contact him.
As soon as he left, the five people who were originally 'learning' in the dorm immediately put down their textbooks.
One of the boys even moved to stand guard at the door.
"Harp player! Look that! He bought some items that looked very expensive again! If Hayley and Alice's guess is correct, then Gerald is really Mr. Crawford! We will be able to have a higher status just by being nearby!” benjamin said with a laugh.
This isn't the first time roommates, including Gerald himself, have stolen food from each other or ransacked each other's possessions.
There was no guilt in what they were doing right now.
What's more, they are now very curious and want to uncover Gerald's true identity now!
"I know? I really hope Hayley and the others make the right guess!” harper said with a smile while scratching the back of his head.
His words were sincere, because Harper would really be happy for Gerald if the rumors turned out to be true.
Just then, Harper suddenly received a video call request on WeChat.
Looking at the caller's contact name, he saw that it was Hayley.
"Harp player! Harper, is Gerald back?”
“She just came back not long ago but she's in the bathroom now. He brought back two boxes of goods that looked very expensive!”
"Hey, I want to see it too!"
This time, Hayley's roommate interfered. In the background, Alice was also seen with a curious expression on her face.
It's clear that until they can uncover Gerald's true identity, these people won't be able to sleep well. This was especially true of Alice.
A day can feel like a full year when someone is feeling desperate, and Alice has been tormented for a short time.
Should he apologize to Gerald?
Now that Mila is not here, is there a chance that she could come back with him?
But what if Gerald wasn't Mr. Crawford and just a pathetic jerk?
Damnit damnit! That question really drove him crazy.
“Hei Benjamin! Open to see what he bought this time!”
