The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 146-150

The Secretly Rich Man Ch. 146-150

[Chapter 146]

It was only now that Cassandra discovered that everyone else was sitting on a stool and Gerald was happily sitting on her newly bought sofa.

This sofa was rather expensive and it cost her more than one thousand five hundred dollars for the entire set. She couldn’t bear to allow someone like Gerald to sit on her sofa!

Cassandra’s sudden loud voice startled Gerald.

Wasn’t he simply just sitting on her sofa? What was the big deal?

As Gerald knew that Cassandra really despised him, Gerald couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.

He stood up as he got ready to sit at the side.

“Hmm…Layla, you can go back with Ywain and the others first. Anyway, what’s next up is cleaning. I think that Gerald can settle this by himself.”

“Gerald, don’t be upset and think that I am targeting you. I’m actually doing this for your own good. Just think about it. Even though you have a lot of money now because you won the lottery, this bit of money won’t be able to last you a long time. Just look at you now. You are not even studying as hard as you used to study before this! Layla and the others are all still working and studying hard. I’m worried that you will get left behind if you continue acting like this!”

“Do you know what it feels like to be scrapped?”

Cassandra questioned in disgust.

She has always been this way. She would find all sorts of reasons to justify why she was targeting you.

After all, everyone knew that Cassandra disliked the poor and she favored the rich. But Cassandra really despised people like Gerald in particular, who started off poor but struck sheer luck and won the lottery. She was very jealous and she couldn’t comprehend why she could never come across such luck, but instead such good luck had to fall on a man who had never been taken seriously instead?

Cassandra’s inner thoughts were pretty self-evident even without having to say it out loud.

Layla and the others really wanted to stay back and help Gerald but they could obviously see that Cassandra was not pleased with Gerald at all. Hence, they left because they did not want to intervene in that situation.

Cassandra pointed at various places before she asked Gerald to clean the place up. She then returned to sit down in her room.

“Fuck! Fuck you!”

Gerald threw the mop down.

Wasn’t it damn obvious that Cassandra was bullying him?

He was about to go and confront Cassandra directly this time.

At the same time, Felicity was already crying even more pitifully in the live broadcast room.

“Brother Ordinary Man, please answer me if you are here! No matter what others say about you, I trust you and I believe in you. I know that you really care about me!”

“Yes! Brother Ordinary Man, if you are here, please just say something. At least give Felicity some gifts. Don’t let her lose so miserably!”

There were many fans who were desperately pleading with Gerald.

“Hahaha! That scumbag will not dare to come out!”

Quera on the opposite screen replied, as she smiled helplessly.

“Who said that I dare not?”

Gerald finally spoke out.

He began typing directly on the screen.

“Brother Ordinary Man is here! Brother Ordinary Man is here!”

Everyone shouted excitedly.

Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!

Gifts for Felicity were flying all over the sky.

Gifts worth more than thousands of dollars.

With the power of just one person, Felicity’s lifeline which had been trampled, was restored immediately.

Quera was a little dumbfounded at this sight of this. What? This Ordinary Man was really rich?

He also had fifteen thousand dollars?

“Damn it! He must have stolen money from his house!”

“How can he be that rich? Isn’t he a fake local tycoon?”

“Yes! He must have stolen this money! Brother Champion is the real local tycoon!”

“Exactly! I advise everyone not to be deceived by this kind of illusions. Some people are willing to spend several tens of thousands just to fish for a female anchor that they are interested in. When that time comes and the female anchor actually believes that he is really a local tycoon, then it’ll be way too late for the female anchor. This Ordinary Man is probably that kind of person who is just fishing too! Don’t be afraid! He will not be able to do anything else soon!”

How the tables turned totally shocked Quera and her fans who were mocking Gerald earlier and they couldn’t stand it anymore. It was simply too embarrassing.

Some of her fans came out to persuade her.

Quera agreed and chimed, “That’s right. I really have not heard of anyone named Ordinary Man in our city’s live broadcast platform.”

But her face suddenly tensed up the instance she saw a piece of news suddenly appearing on the screen of the city live broadcast platform software.

“Warmest congratulations! This live broadcast platform had just received a financing of fifteen million dollars from Mr. Ordinary Man.”

“Warmest congratulations! This live broadcast platform had just received a financing of fifteen million dollars from Mr. Ordinary Man.”

“…”

The news kept appearing in turns and every single audience could see it clear as the day. It was enough to witness the current uproar of the live broadcast platform company right now!

“Damn it?! Fifteen million dollars?” Everyone on the live broadcast platform exploded.

“What? Plop!”

Gerald was outside the room but he could hear the sound of Cassandra’s cell phone dropping onto the ground in her bedroom!

[Chapter 147]

Fifteen million dollars!

Look at the official sliding news!

Seriously!

Everyone was shocked.

Quera was trying hard to comfort herself and she was about to persuade Brother Champion to help her again.

After all, in the earlier battle, Brother Champion had only spent two thousand and two hundred dollars.

All of the gifts here would’ve added up to no more than four thousand and five hundred dollars.

However, Ordinary Man swiped fifteen thousand dollars in one go directly.

He even invested fifteen million dollars in the live broadcast platform.

The live broadcast platform even officially mentioned and gave a shout out to Mr. Ordinary Man. Who else could it be, aside from the Ordinary Man who had been kicked out of her live broadcast room earlier? Who else could it be!

Quera’s face turned green. It was fifteen million dollars. He was an absolute local tycoon with strong influence!

He dropped by her live broadcast room just now and he must have taken a liking to her appearance. That was probably the reason why he asked her very tactfully to perform and show off some of her talents.

But why?

Why did she have to say that he must have been blind?

The reason why he asked her to show her talents was simply because he had fancied her.

What was even more regrettable was the fact that he actually did not leave the room even after getting scolded by her, but she kicked him out of her live broadcast room! She actually kicked an absolute local tycoon out of her live broadcast room!

Quera was filled with an unspeakable amount of regret!

All of her fans have already stopped talking at this time. Seriously. These waves of slaps to their faces felt like a sharp blade that was repeatedly stabbing their hearts.

They were still mocking others? Why didn’t they take a good look at themselves first?

As for Cassandra, she was really shocked by the emergence of the fifteen million dollars figure.

She really would not have imagined that the person who had always supported Felicity would actually be a millionaire. No wait, he was most likely a billionaire!

He was simply too generous.

To be honest, Cassandra was even jealous of her own students now.

She was so beautiful herself. She was even more beautiful and feminine compared to Felicity. So, why couldn’t she gain the favor of those rich men then?

Oops! When she thought about it, she could not help but feel that fate was seriously unfair!

Gerald could only smile when he saw the official announcement on the public screen.

He did not display much feelings about it.

If he had any to begin with, then it would be best to say that he was really surprised. He was surprised that he asked Zack to invest in the live broadcast platform, but why did he invest fifteen million dollars in it?

When he thought about it, he finally understood. Putting aside his sister, perhaps fifteen million dollars was not even a huge sum in Zack’s eyes too!

Forget it, he has already invested in it anyway. In future, he might be able to gain some profits from this live broadcast platform. Perhaps, he would be able to make a lot of money and gain fifteen million dollars to thirty million dollars instead!

After the investment, the live broadcast platform grew even more lively.

The news that a local tycoon had invested fifteen million dollars in the live broadcast platform was actively circulating around the forum.

Felicity was also going with the flow at this time. Her live broadcast room was crowded because of her rising popularity.

Anyone with a popularity of ten thousand viewers would have already become the main anchor on the live broadcast platform.

But Felicity’s popularity was already approaching fifty thousand viewers!

Felicity was completely ecstatic that she was jumping up and down in her live broadcast room.

She was going insane.

Her big brother, Ordinary Man, had actually become the biggest investor in the live broadcast platform. This was really a huge boost to her own reputation!

“Brother Ordinary Man, which class do you belong to in the Department of Language and Literature? Can I ask for your name?”

“Damn it! I didn’t know that there was such a big local tycoon in our Department of Language and Literature. Is he really a local tycoon? Who could it be?”

This was because when Gerald first appeared in Felicity’s live broadcast room, he had mentioned that he was from the same department as Felicity, which was the Department of Language and Literature.

After that, Felicity had been guessing the identity of Ordinary Man for the longest time but she could not guess it right at all.

But things are completely different now!

Who was Ordinary Man? This had become a very hot topic for the Department of Language and Literature, and even the whole university.

[Chapter 148]

He must still be in university, but he actually could make an investment of fifteen million dollars. That was bold!

“By the way, do you remember the two million six hundred dollars Lamborghini at the school gate? Do you think that car belongs to Ordinary Man?”

“Yes! Yes! That must be it!”

“Everyone had been guessing this since the very beginning. But now I think that it is almost certain that this person is indeed from the Department of Language and Literature. Plus it is very likely that he is in his third year now.”

“Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Who could it be?”

More girls were shouting from their dormitory at this time.

These girls were mostly from the literature department. They would never have imagined that there was a local tycoon in their department.

Moreover, he could be hidden in any of their classes. It made everyone excited just to think about it!

Some girls were even calling their boyfriends now and they were repeatedly questioning their boyfriends about their family’s background. They could not help but wonder if their own boyfriends could be this Ordinary Man!

If that was really the case, then from now on, wouldn’t she be able to…

Unfortunately, there were no ifs!

On campus.

“Victor, Sister Whitney, have you heard about it? There is a big local tycoon in our Department of Language and Literature!”

“I just heard about it! But who could he possibly be?” Whitney was very anxious about this.

After all, she was still single. It would be really nice if she could meet with the other party or even fall in love with the other party before graduation!

Victor crossed his arms across his chest with a practical and firm look on his face as he said: “That is really difficult to gauge but I think that we can probably get some clues from his username. His username is Ordinary Man! It seems like this guy likes to keep a low profile. If the car does not belong to Ordinary Man who likes to keep a low profile, then the owner of the car would have already driven the car around everywhere just to show off! These clues are enough to prove that this Lamborghini really belongs to Ordinary Man!”

“That makes sense, Brother Victor! Who else could possibly achieve this point in the whole Mayberry City?”

Someone asked again.

Victor sighed with a wry smile of his face as he replied: “I don’t know the answer. After all, there are many local tycoons in Mayberry City who have not publicized their own wealth or identity!”

Ugh! In short, after learning that the great god Ordinary Man was in the Department of Language and Literature, everyone could not keep their calm anymore.

This included Cassandra who could not sit quietly without doing anything.

Gerald was listening at the side and he could hear Cassandra lying to Felicity. She told her that she might probably know this Ordinary Man. She wanted the new WeChat account that he initially opened because of Felicity.

Gerald could only smile sarcastically.

True enough, this was a very realistic world. You could have everything if you had money but you would also have nothing at all if you do not have money!

Perhaps Gerald really wanted to take revenge on Cassandra.

Gerald actually logged into the new WeChat account to accept Cassandra’s friend request.

“Ordinary Man, hello! I heard that you are in our department. I am Felicity’s teacher and I am a teacher in your department. Have you seen me before? Mischievous.”

Cassandra sent him a text message as soon as he accepted her friend request.

“Yes. I have seen you before!”

“Really? Wow! I am actually getting a little excited right now. Cough. Cough. Which class are you in?”

Gerald: “…”

Cassandra: “No, no, no. I forgot that you cannot just reveal this information so casually. Alas, you don’t know it but I can’t help but wonder if you are a student from my class? I have never thought that there would be such an outstanding student in my class!”

Gerald: “Um, Miss Cassandra, I feel that a lot of students in your class are really outstanding and excellent. I only have a little money but that does not necessarily mean that I am outstanding!”

Although this was quite a mean thing to do, Gerald could not help but feel a strange sense of excitement.

“Seriously. I am not lying to you. There are really not any excellent or outstanding students in my class. Moreover, there are no students who are as rich and low-key as you are either. However, there are a few students who are poor and one student who is particularly poor in my class! Hahaha…”

“My ass!”

Gerald really wanted to scold her. The particularly poor student that she was talking about would definitely be him.

In Cassandra’s heart, Gerald was not just poor economically. It was not as simple as that anymore. Gerald was also poor spiritually to her. In short, he was just a pauper!

To be honest, even if he wanted to scold her, and even if he scolded her, Cassandra would probably still be very smug and sinister.

As Gerald thought about it, he decided to let it slide. He did not want to go overboard.

“Slap!”

As he was in deep thought, someone suddenly gave him a slap across his face…

[Chapter 149]

The person who hit him was none other than Cassandra.

He didn’t know when did she even come over and she glared at Gerald angrily as she said:

“Gerald, what do you want me to say about you now? You are really getting more and more useless by the day. I asked you to clean up but you are actually secretly playing your cell phone here? Alas, do you know that you simply won the lottery and that is it? People who are really rich are also still working hard at this time. Let me tell you something, Gerald. You have no capital to compare with anyone else anyway but your thoughts are still so habitual! Do you know that this will lead you to mediocrity forever?”

After getting slapped, it was followed by a series of rebukes and endless remarks by Cassandra.

Damn it!

If Cassandra did not add him on the WeChat account, Gerald would have already lost his temper by now.

He couldn’t help but think about the fact that Cassandra was treating him like this in reality, but she was treating him so differently on WeChat.

Gerald enjoyed this kind of good but evil feeling.

It might be a little perverted, but it really felt very good.

Gerald did not say anything and he hurriedly cleaned up the room for Cassandra.

After that he went back to his dormitory.

On the way back.

Cassandra sent Gerald a text message again: “Oh, Ordinary Man, do you think that some students are destined to be mediocre in life? Alas, there is a student named Gerald in our class. I don’t know if you will recognize him but he is the kind of pathetic jerk who makes people feel disgusted with him even at first glance!”

“But God must be really blind to let him win the lottery. Do you know what a show off he is? All of his actions and behaviors simply proves that he has no future at all. It is also very painstaking for me to teach someone like him. How can I possibly have a student like him?”

Cassandra sent two successive messages to express her dissatisfaction.

Although there was some sort of nasty enjoyment in texting her, Gerald could not help but feel furious when he saw her messages.

Cassandra, oh Cassandra. No matter what it is, I am still your student for so many years after all. I have always done everything that you asked me to do.

In the end, in your heart, I am just a student who makes you feel disgusted? I am just a student who is so disgusting to the point that I cannot even disgust you any further?

“You bitch!”

Gerald replied directly.

“Ahh? What’s the matter? Ordinary Man, I know that as his teacher, I should not be saying these kinds of things about my student. However, when you see him for yourself, then you will definitely know what I am talking about. Yes, he does look quite handsome but apart from that, he is really useless!”

Cassandra did not dare to curse at him even after getting scolded.

Instead, she kept explaining herself, out of fear that she would be leaving a bad impression of herself on Ordinary Man.

Hahaha. What would her expression be when she finds out that the person that she was chatting with right now, was none other than the student who has always made her feel sick and disgusted?

Gerald could not help but grin wickedly.

He replied a few words in a prevaricating manner before he returned to his dormitory.

Today was Friday and there were no classes.

Harper and the others would usually be at the internet cafes on any ordinary day.

But since Felicity was doing a live broadcast later in the afternoon, it would be a very difficult one, so everyone chose to stay back at the dormitory to watch her live broadcast.

“Felicity will definitely be able to win the popularity competition this time. She even earned more than fifteen thousand dollars a month! Ordinary Man is really damn cool! He turned Felicity into a popular female anchor with his very own hands!”

“Ahh! Felicity is going to become a real internet celebrity in future, earning big bucks for herself. On the other hand, just look at us! I don’t even know where I am going to do my internship! Ahh!”

As soon as Gerald returned to his dormitory, he could hear Harper talking to Benjamin.

How do you put it? There was a hint of jealousy and envy.

After all, he was a man but he would not be able to make as much money as a girl.

Gerald had already estimated this outcome.

After all, Felicity was promoted on the official public screen because of his own financing.

This was equivalent to doing indirect advertising for Felicity.

When he left her live broadcast room, her popularity had already broken through the seventy thousand viewers mark.

This way, she would be able to garner enough support based on the other gifts given to her by her other new fans and the other big brothers who were also attracted to her. She would undoubtedly be able to pass the competition and become the uncrowned anchor of the live broadcast platform.

There was no need for anticipation at all because she would undoubtedly win the top spot in the competition tonight.

“Gerald, you are back! By the way, when we went to pick up the courier this afternoon, there was also a package that came for you. It seems like a piece of paper. Take a look at it!”

Harper replied before he handed a small envelope over to him.

Gerald wondered in curiosity as he took the envelope and plonked on his bed to rip it open.

It turned out to be a ticket to the Rivington Beach Entertainment Night.

The sender was Elena.

Gerald suddenly recalled Elena informing him that the party would begin on Saturday and it would end on Sunday night. It would be two days in total.

[Chapter 150]

The location was at Rivington City!

Gerald’s cell phone suddenly rang.

At the corner of his eyes, he saw that it was Elena.

“Mr. Crawford, have you received the admission ticket?”

“Yes, I got it. You should have just given it to me personally when you have the chance to do so. Why did you have to go all the way and trouble yourself just to courier it over to me?”

“Hehehe. Mr. Crawford, so this is what happened. I already arrived at Rivington City yesterday to visit my aunt. I also suddenly recalled just last night, that you do not have an admission ticket. Hence I decided to mail it to you overnight!”

After finding out Gerald’s identity, Elena had been very respectful towards him.

Elena was initially forced by her parents to please Gerald at the very beginning.

After spending a few days getting along with Gerald, Elena discovered that he really had a very special charm about him.

He was a rich second generation but he did not have the domineering vibe to him. He was really very down-to-earth and low key.

It made Elena want to get closer to Gerald’s heart. So, this time, she was the one who personally wanted to invite Gerald over!

“Are there any other fun places in Rivington City aside from the Rivington Beach?”

“There are many more exciting places. You’ll just need to come, Mr. Crawford. Once you arrive at the place, you only need to show them the admission ticket. The people over there will arrange for a hotel for you. Once everything is settled, I will come to you!”

“Okay then!”

After discussion, Gerald hung up.

To be honest, Gerald had always been nestled in a small town in his small county ever since his childhood. It was only after he was admitted into Mayberry University that he finally had his opportunity to live in a metropolis and big city like Mayberry City.

However, Gerald was too poor. Because of that, Gerald had never been to any other city.

“Should I ask Mila to come with me this time?”

Gerald thought to himself.

The relationship between the both of them was already somewhat ambiguous.

However, after thinking about it, Gerald decided to scrape the thought. After all, Mila had been so frightened by the incident involving Nigel. Moreover, she did not even turn up to school today because she decided to rest at home. Looking at things, Gerald decided to let her rest!

Gerald fell asleep early that night.

The next day, Gerald woke up early.

Aiden and the others had already arrived a day earlier.

Gerald was not too familiar with the road to begin with, so he didn’t drive but he chose to take the train there.

He arrived at the entrance of the Rivington Beach event at eight o’clock in the morning.

“Hello, sir. Please show me your admission ticket!”

As soon as he arrived at the door, Gerald was stopped by a very beautiful female receptionist.

She raised her hand to ask him for the admission ticket.

The receptionist was squinting at Gerald up and down.

This was probably because Gerald was wearing his old clothes that he had just washed. No matter how she looked at him, the receptionist could not help but wonder if this was just a pathetic stranger who wanted to join in the party and experience the world.

Even though she was being very polite and respectful, she was obviously having doubts about Gerald as she stared at him.

It seemed as though she was saying: “Go in if you have a ticket and get lost if you don’t!”

How could Gerald fail to see the look of contempt in the female receptionist’s eyes? He really did not understand the qualities that all these receptionists seemed to have. Why do they seem to have such similar virtues and personalities?

Hahaha.

Gerald chose not to say anything. He simply took out his admission ticket before taking out his cell phone as he got ready to call Aiden who was already having fun inside!

He then breezed straight into the venue at the same time…

“You…”

The beautiful receptionist was very angry at Gerald’s disregard. But then again, there was no problem with his admission ticket at all. Even though she suspected that this could’ve been a counterfeit, she had no evidence to prove whatsoever.

The receptionist nervously stood up straight again.

Many luxurious cars had stopped in front of the entrance. A group of young men and women got out of the car…

“Hahaha. A lot of rich and young masters will be here in the next two days. I will be able to make a lot of new friends. Besides that, there will also be a lot of beautiful and rich women!”

“Is that what you stand for? All that you know how to do is to look for fair-skinned, rich and beautiful girls! Don’t your family own billions of dollars in wealth? Why are you still looking for the miss perfect? Hmph!”

A few people walked up jokingly before they took out their own admission tickets.

The boy who was clamoring for a rich woman suddenly jumped:

“Damn it! Did any of you see my admission ticket? How did I lose it?”
