The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 56-60

[Chapter 56]

Smack!

Before the middle-aged man could even finish his sentence, Gerald immediately placed his black gold card on the table.

Upon picking it up, the manager took a closer look at the black gold card, and the expression on his face changed immediately.

He obviously knew about the black gold card.

Only a few people in this world could afford to own this card.

“There is basically a balance of approximately three million dollars in this black gold card. Isn’t that more than enough for me to buy the Reventon?” Gerald asked casually.

“Yes, that is naturally more than enough money!”

However, even though he was replying to Gerald’s question, the middle-aged manager was still a little skeptical at this time.

No matter how he looked at it, the person standing in front of him did not look like the holder of this black gold card at all.

Could he have picked up this card?

Immediately after that, the middle-aged man flashed an apologetic smile at Gerald.

Then, he immediately turned on a device before swiping the black gold card on it.

In an instant, a string of messages appeared on his computer.

“What is your name, sir?”

The middle-aged manager asked pleasantly and respectfully.

“Gerald Crawford.”

“Mr. Crawford, I am so sorry for being too presumptuous earlier. Please forgive me for my behavior.”

As soon as he spoke, the middle-aged manager walked around the table toward Gerald before bowing slightly in front of him.

“My name is Wilson, and I will serve you wholeheartedly, Mr. Crawford!”

Wilson was already breaking out in cold sweat after confirming the owner of the black gold card and Gerald’s identity.

The young man standing in front of him was indeed the owner of the gold black card even though he was dressed so casually.

He must come from a very wealthy and powerful family.

This was just a car that was worth about two and a half million dollars. Wilson knew that as the holder of the black gold card, Gerald would definitely be able to afford to buy a car that was worth fifteen million dollars if he wanted to.

D*mn it! Which one of the salesgirls actually had such bad foresight to have offended such a powerful man?!

“I would like to settle all the documents and procedures immediately because I intend to take that Reventon home today. Thank you for the trouble, Manager Wilson.”

Gerald spoke to Wilson politely because he saw that the manager’s attitude was pretty good.

Then, Gerald turned around and walked out of his office.

“Yes, definitely, Mr. Crawford!”

Wilson wiped the sweat off from his forehead before he took the black gold card in his hand and contacted the financial manager.

When Gerald came out of the manager’s office, Vanessa was still showing the young couple the Reventon.

Even though she knew that the young couple would not be able to afford to buy the car, as a potential customer, Vanessa naturally had to serve them to the best of her ability.

She even took the time to explain all the specific details of the car to them.

“Wow, husband! This car is really so cool and amazing! It’s no wonder why this car is worth two million and six hundred thousand dollars. Husband, when can we afford to buy this car?” The woman asked as she sat inside the Reventon, clearly already in love with this sports car.

The external appearance of the car was already so cool, but the interior of the car was even more impressive. It was fully automated, intelligent and it had all the top luxury configurations set in it.

The woman could not help but exclaim in joy!

“Well, you will have to wait for me to inherit all of my family’s property from my father…” the young man replied with a wry smile on his face.

“I don’t care, husband. Anyway, I want to own this sports car one day! Eh? Husband, look! That pauper is here to look at the sports car again!”

The woman started complaining in a coquettish and spoiled manner.

When she turned around, she noticed that Gerald, who had left earlier, had already returned.

Moreover, he was even checking out the headlights of the car right now.

At this time, Vanessa and the young man also saw Gerald standing near the Reventon.

Vanessa became very anxious at this time. “Hey! What are you doing here again? Didn’t I ask you to leave? Did you think that I would be afraid of you just because you reported me to my manager?”

“Exactly! Some people are just too vain for their own good. They do not even know their own place…” The young man said as he raised his watch once again.

Gerald looked at Vanessa coldly as he said, “Miss, your job scope does not only encompass the sales industry, but you are also in the service industry. If you find out one day that the person you were trying to drive out was in actual fact one your biggest customer, wouldn’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”

“Hahaha! You are such a funny and ridiculous person. Based on your ability? Very well, then. I will wait for that day to come. Now, can you leave this shop this instant?”

Vanessa stared at Gerald as though he was a mentally retarded person. The contempt and disgust in her eyes were self-evident.

Gerald nodded helplessly before he said, “You do not need to wait for that day to come. You can already feel ashamed of yourself now.”

“Mr. Crawford, I have already called all the relevant financial personnel who will complete all the form and documentation procedures for you. I promise that you will definitely be able to pick your car up today!”

Just then, Manager Wilson led a group of people with him, and they were carrying all sorts of large and small instruments as they hurried toward Gerald.

Vanessa’s eyes widened in shock, and the young couple who were standing at the side also had an incredulous look on their faces as they witnessed the scene in front of them…

[Chapter 57]

“Manager Wilson, what’s going on?”

Vanessa could not react at all for a moment.

However, her instincts told her that she might have done something that would make her regret for life.

Thus, Vanessa hurriedly stepped forward as she asked the manager the question.

“Get out of my way now! I will settle this with you later!”

Wilson reprimanded Vanessa as he glared at her furiously.

At this time, the financial manager and the handling clerk also came in behind him, and they were all looking at Gerald with a polite and respectful expression on their faces.

Vanessa was completely dumbfounded. She truly thought that Gerald was nothing but just a miserable pauper.

She assumed that Gerald only came here to look at the Lamborghinis that he could never afford to buy.

Therefore, in an effort not to offend the young couple who could actually afford to buy a Lamborghini, Vanessa had not hesitated to offend this young man whom she thought was a pauper.

But how could a pauper possibly make her manager act this way? Was he truly going to buy the Reventon?

Oh my God. How wealthy was he?!

The young couple was in shock at the moment.

The young man felt as though he had been greatly humiliated. “Manager, I would advise you to figure out that I am your real customer!”

“Yes! We are going to buy the Gallardo from this young lady today. If you continue treating her like this, we might change our mind and choose not to buy from your shop anymore!” The woman also yelled as she tried to speak up for Vanessa.

“I do not care whether you want to buy a car from us or not. And you, woman! Who allowed you to sit inside the Reventon? I want you to get out of that car right now!”

At this time, Wilson was thinking to himself that this young couple was nobodies compared to the holder of a black gold card.

The young woman was sitting at the driver’s seat inside the Reventon as she tried to experience what it felt like.

“I…” Her feminine face turned pale as soon as she heard Wilson’s eviction order.

Wilson smiled before he looked at Gerald and said, “Mr. Crawford, look. Next…”

Gerald knew that he was asking if they could begin with the formalities.

Therefore, he simply nodded as he took the black gold card in his hand.

Then, Gerald aimed the black gold card at the sensor on the equipment before he input his password directly.

Ding!

“Two million and seven hundred thousand dollars have been credited!”

A system prompt sounded immediately.

“What?!”

Right then and there, everyone present, including all the other people who were looking at cars in the Lamborghini shop, were all surprised.

This young man had just spent two million and seven hundred thousand dollars to buy the most expensive luxury sports car produced by Lamborghini!

Tyrant!

“Who is this young man? His appearance and clothes looked so shabby. I thought he only came here to look around. Oh my God. Who would have ever expected him to be the real deal instead?”

“He looks like he is just a college student! Do you think he won all that money from the lottery? Oh my God! How much did he win? It must not be less than fifteen million dollars!”

“Oh my! I wonder if that young man already has a girlfriend or not? Otherwise, I will introduce my sister to him!”

“…”

There was a slight commotion in the Lamborghini shop at this time, and everyone had focused their attention on Gerald.

Gerald could feel his face burning red.

On the other side, the young couple was so ashamed that they did not know what to do or where to hide their faces at all.

The car that Gerald had just bought was easily worth six Gallardos.

They had even tried to drive Gerald out of the Lamborghini shop not too long ago, and could not help but feel a little embarrassed as they thought about it.

“Madam, please make way for me. I want to have a look at the interior of my car again…”

Gerald walked toward the car door as he watched the young woman reluctantly make her way out of the car.

“Ahh… I… I…” She had really wanted to test-drive the car and bring it out on the road. When that happened, everyone’s eyes would surely be fixed on her!

That was all she wanted. Everyone’s attention and envy.

However, her boyfriend could only afford to buy a Gallardo. She was truly dying with envy at this time. Ahh!

The young woman quickly ran out of the Lamborghini shop because she felt very ashamed and embarrassed.

Everyone was waiting for Gerald to be done inspecting his car.

After a short while, Gerald was finally done looking at the interior of his car, and he stepped out of the car.

[Chapter 58]

By this time, Wilson was also done with all the verification and transfer documents.

“Mr. Crawford, this is your car key and my business card. From now on, please do not hesitate to ask me for anything if you have any special requests. Even if it has nothing to do with cars at all, you can always ask for my help!” Wilson said respectfully.

This was because Gerald meant more to him than just a regular customer who was buying a car. He knew that Gerald came from a very wealthy and powerful family.

Wilson felt that he would not lose out if he got acquainted with Mr. Crawford.

“Okay, thank you, Manager Wilson. To be honest, there is something that I would like to ask of you if it is not too much trouble, Manager Wilson.” Gerald said with a smile on his face.

“Yes, please. Just give me your instructions!”

“Please, can you get someone to help me drive this car back? Hahaha. Actually, I have not gotten my driver’s license yet…”

“Oh! If that is the case, I will do it for you right away!”

“Mr. Crawford, why don’t I drive the car back for you?”

“Mr. Crawford, I can drive the car back for you too! I have already obtained my driver’s license for more than two to three years!”

“Mr. Crawford, which driving school are you studying at?”

Immediately after his words fell, a crowd of people quickly gathered around Gerald as they grabbed his arms frantically.

They kept asking Gerald about which university he was studying at and which driving school he was taking classes at.

Gerald was prevaricated with his replies. Fortunately, Wilson was very sharp and alert, and he quickly offered to personally drive Gerald back.

At this time, Vanessa was standing by the door as she glanced at Gerald and the crowd of people. She was biting her lips, filled with regrets. She truly wished that she could slap herself in the face!

She had actually looked down on and despised someone, but unexpectedly, that person had turned out to be the true king!

Vanessa could not help but slump to the ground as she thought about her actions. Her career was surely over!

However, Gerald did not ask Wilson to drive him back to the campus.

After all, this was such a cool and luxurious Lamborghini. Even when they were driving on the road, a crowd of people was already staring at his car.

If he were to drive this car into the campus, he would definitely attract too much attention.

That would be too high-profile.

It would feel as though Gerald was trying to show off his wealth.

Gerald hated people who were arrogant and enjoyed showing off their wealth the most.

Therefore, Gerald asked Wilson to park his car at a carpark that was located not too far from their campus.

Then, he asked Wilson to take a cab back to the Lamborghini shop.

Alas, Gerald had bought a car but he was too embarrassed to drive it. This was really so ridiculous!

Still, Gerald was very satisfied with this car, and he felt as though he was dreaming.

After putting away his car key, Gerald felt a little thirsty and decided to head toward the shop next to the campus to buy a cup of milk tea.

“If you do not have cash on you, you can use electronic payment instead!”

“Sorry, boss. My cell phone is dead, and I forgot to bring my wallet here with me. Otherwise, can you allow me to leave the cups of milk tea here first? I will return to the dormitory to get my wallet before I come back to grab these milk teas…”

As soon as Gerald arrived at the shop, he saw a girl holding a bag of milk tea as she spoke to the boss.

It seemed as though the girl had only realized that she did not bring her wallet out with her after she was done purchasing the milk tea. Moreover, her cell phone was out of battery and she could not pay using electronic payment either. This was indeed quite embarrassing.

However, after looking at the girl’s profile, Gerald was a little startled.

“Huh? It’s her?” Gerald was a little surprised.

She was the girl he had met when Whitney had instructed him to clean up the auditorium the last time. At that time, Gerald had accidentally soiled and dirtied her white shoes when he was too engrossed in Victor’s speech about buying a car.

Gerald could remember her clearly because she was not only very beautiful, but she was also non- judgmental at all, unlike Whitney. She was very demure and nice.

Therefore, Gerald had a very deep impression of her. He could even remember her name clearly. Mila Smith!

“Young sister, don’t make this kind of joke. You bought six cups of milk tea in one go and even took a few sips of one of the milk teas. If you leave them here and do not come back for it, what am I supposed to do with all these milk teas?! Who am I supposed to collect the money from, then? Miss, I am just running a small business here. So, please do not make things difficult for me!”

The male boss inside said helplessly.

At this time, Mila had a very anxious expression on her face as she frantically wiped the sweat off her forehead.

“How much is it? I will pay for her…”

Just as Mila was feeling very flustered, a voice suddenly rang behind her ears.

Mila heaved a sigh of relief before she turned around to see who had come to her rescue. As soon as she saw Gerald, she smiled unexpectedly.

“It’s you?”

“Yes. It seems as though we meet again!” Gerald smiled and could not stop his face from turning red…

[Chapter 59]

“Thank you so much for your help. I can’t believe I forgot to bring my wallet out!” Mila said as she smiled.

She did not directly refuse Gerald’s offer to pay on her behalf, and she was also very polite.

She was a very kind and generous girl.

Mila was a little surprised to run into Gerald today.

Still, Mila had a deep impression of Gerald after running into him at the auditorium the last time.

She recalled that this student had been very indifferent and was not affected at all even though everyone had been ridiculing and humiliating him at that time.

“You are welcome,” Gerald replied as he smiled.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as I get my wallet. By the way, do you have an electronic wallet? If you have one, I can transfer the money to you through electronic payment directly…”

“Yes!” Gerald did not push back and forth either. Even though the girl before him was very beautiful, it was still a very happy meeting.

Furthermore, he did not have the habit of beating around the bush.

Under normal circumstances, any other ordinary guy in this situation would definitely have insisted that the girl did not need to return the money and could just take it as a treat from them.

Perhaps, they would even try to invite her out to dinner and try to befriend her or something like that.

However, Gerald had a very straight character and had always been this way. Since Mila wanted to return the money to him, he had no reason to turn down her request.

“I will go back to my dormitory now and transfer the money back to you later in the evening! Thank you for your help today. My name is Mila Smith!”

“My name is Gerald Crawford!” Gerald replied as he smiled.

After that, Mila waved at Gerald before she left in a hurry.

“She truly is very beautiful…” Gerald muttered to himself as he stared at her back.

Hey! When did he become such a fool?

With a faint smile on his face, Gerald turned around and picked up his milk tea before he decided to walk toward his car and appreciate it a little longer.

This was the first time he had ever bought a car for himself, and he would never have dreamt that he would ever be able to own this car. Therefore, he was very excited.

“Wow! Come and take a look at this! What kind of car is this?”

“Oh my God! It’s a Lamborghini sports car! It’s really too cool. This car should be worth a few million dollars, right?”

“This is the Reventon! It’s one of Lamborghini’s most expensive luxury sports car! It’s priced at more than two and a half million dollars! Wow. He must be an extremely wealthy person!?”

When Gerald arrived at his car, he was shocked to see that there were already many people surrounding his car at this time.

Most of them were girls, but there were also a few boys there.

They were all staring at his car in awe, and everyone was also having an enthusiastic discussion about the car.

A lot of the girls were extremely attracted to the car, and their eyes shone brightly as they stared at the car.

“Wow! This cool sports car is worth more than two and a half million dollars. I would be willing to die if I could just sit in this car for a short while!”

“I can’t help but wonder which rich man owns this car? Is there such a wealthy person in Mayberry University? If there is, I would really love to become his girlfriend!”

“Come, come, hurry up and take a picture for me! I really want to take a picture with the car!”

Click! Click!

The sound of the camera shutters rang continuously.

Some girls also wanted to take pictures with the car but were too embarrassed to do so.

Moreover, they were not only staring at the car, but they were also observing their surroundings at this time.

Everyone wanted to find out who the owner of this car was. They wanted to know if it belonged to a boy and whether he was a student from Mayberry University. If he was a fellow student, they wanted to seize the opportunity to get closer to him.

Perhaps… that wealthy guy would take a liking to them!

“Well, excuse me. Can you let me pass…” Gerald scratched his head as he decided to bite the bullet and walk directly toward his car.

“Get out of here! Why are you trying to squeeze through?!”

Unexpectedly, Gerald was pushed aside by a very frustrated girl.

At this time, Gerald could not help but feel anger rising in his heart. What the hell! You did not even ask for my permission and you dare to sit on top of my car! Who do you think you are?!

“Look at this person. He is such a d*ck! He is actually coming forward to take pictures of the car. Isn’t he disgusting?”

“Hahaha. I think he’s trying to take advantage of the situation right now. He is probably trying to find a girl since there are so many beautiful girls here. I have never seen a more disgusting person in my life!”

“It would be fine if the owner of the Lamborghini comes and sees a bunch of beautiful girls here. However, just imagine what he would think if he saw such a disgusting boy in front of his car? It would be strange if he did not get angry at all!”

Then, the bunch of girls quickly took out their cell phones and started snapping pictures of themselves with the Lamborghini.

“Look! Why are there so many people gathered over there?”

[Chapter 60]

“It seems as though there is a very wealthy boy in our university now! He just bought the Lamborghini Reventon sports car!”

“D*mn it! That car is worth about one and a half to two over million dollars! Let’s go over and take a look!”

Gerald was violently pushed outward by the few girls, and at this time, more people were running toward his car.

Gerald felt completely helpless. If he wanted to give them a slap across their faces right now, he could simply take the car keys out of his pocket and unlock his car directly.

However, Gerald did not have that kind of habit, especially not in front of such a huge crowd of people.

Unexpectedly, parking the car here at the car park had almost the same effect as stopping the car directly in front of the university entrance.

Gerald looked around him and decided that he would have to wait until the car park was completely empty before he moved his car elsewhere.

That was the only way!

Alas. Gerald could not help but sigh.

Thus, Gerald put his car keys away before he turned around and left the car park.

After walking a few steps, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from a strange unknown number.

Gerald answered the call immediately.

“Gerald, right? I forgot to inform you this morning that you will have to come to the North Playground at one o’clock in the afternoon to practice Subject Two!”

A female’s voice sounded faintly over the other end of the line.

As soon as she was done speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.

He would have to acquire Subject One the next day, so it was no wonder why he would have to practice Subject Two today.

Regardless of the caller’s cold and rude attitude, Gerald hurried over to the North Playground because he wanted to get his driver’s license as soon as possible.

After a short while, he finally arrived at the location.

Training on the field had already begun.

At this time, an instructor wearing a pair of sunglasses was teaching a student how to reverse a car.

There were probably about eleven people waiting in line at this time.

It was a mixture of boys and girls.

Everyone was standing at the side as they watched the instructor guide the student on how to drive and handle the car properly.

“D*mn it! It’s really Gerald! Is he seriously going to learn how to drive?”

As Gerald walked toward the crowd of people, a fellow female student immediately covered her mouth in surprise, a look of disbelief plastered on her face.

“Hahaha. So, what now? I told you it was him! Quinn, you lost the bet. You have to eat dinner with me tonight!”

At this time, a boy smiled as he exclaimed excitedly.

“Oh, it doesn’t count! That does not count at all. Who would have thought that Gerald would come and take the driving test?! This is simply too illogical! Nathaniel, I think you made the bet with me only because you already knew that Gerald signed up for this driving lesson! You lied to me!” The girl named Quinn retorted immediately.

The thing was, they had seen Gerald’s name on the list of students when they arrived for their driving lesson.

The two of them had then placed a bet on whether it was the same Gerald from their department.

As a result, after the staff from the driving school had made the phone call and asked Gerald to come over, they found out that it truly was him.

They were completely shocked!

In truth, Gerald was not that familiar with these two students. He had only ever met them a couple of times in his department.

Why did he meet them? Only because these two students were also part of the student union. The boy was Nathaniel Lawson, the committee member for the Disciplinary Department, and the other was Quinn Zager, the committee member for the Health Department.

As a poor student who was receiving subsidies from the student union, Whitney would often assign Gerald to do all sorts of odd labor for them. Therefore, it was only natural for everyone in the student union to know all about Gerald.

After all, who would not have heard of this pauper from their department?

After listening to the conversation between Quinn and Nathaniel, the other boys and girls who were also students at the university could not help but stare at Gerald.

Some of the boys even laughed contemptuously. “Brother Nathaniel, is this pauper from your department really that poor?”

This boy felt that his own worth would undoubtedly be raised if he ridiculed and humiliated others, thus, he did not hesitate to insult Gerald because he felt that he obviously did not have any status at all. If so, why should he give him any face?

“Yes, he is poor! So poor that you cannot possibly imagine it. Hahaha!” Nathaniel replied as he laughed.

Gerald simply snorted coldly at their sarcastic and satirical remarks. Then, he turned around and walked away as though Nathaniel and Quinn did not exist at all.

After all, why did he have to bite back if a dog bit him?

When he realized that Gerald was simply ignoring them, Nathaniel could not help but feel a little angry.

Just as he was about to attack Gerald, the student who had been training inside the car was already done with her training, and the car door was slowly opened.

At this time, a white and slender wrist was exposed.

All the boys and girls who were waiting for their turns including Gerald quickly turned around to look toward the direction of the car.

“Look, everyone! That beauty is coming out!”
