Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1411
It was evening by the time Gerald arrived at the headquarters building in Mayberry City.
At the time, there were two deputy general managers in the economic area, Zack being one of them and the other
being a person by the name of Winson Zaito, commonly known as Chairman Zaito.
Gerald knew for a fact that both men had always been loyal to the Crawford family, and this was especially the
case for Zack.
Even so, since Peter had mentioned that there was a possibility that the duo could be involved in certain matters as
well, Gerald knew he had to personally investigate them sooner or later.
“Apologies, sir, but both Chairman Zaito and Chairman Lyle aren’t present tonight! You’ll have to wait till morning if
you still wish to meet them! However, please note that even if you do wish to meet them then, they aren’t people
you can just ask to meet up with just because you want to!” said the receptionist at the front desk as she looked at
Gerald.

he was? Was he really thinking that he could just meet up with both of them all willy-nilly?
“Just give them a call and tell them that Gerald Crawford is here!” replied Gerald casually, not wanting to waste any
time with her nonsense.
“…What? Did you just claim to be Mr. Gerald Crawford?!” exclaimed all the receptionists seated at the front desk as
they instantly stood upright and stared at Gerald in astonishment.
“Look, let’s just skip all this and just make the phone call already…” replied Gerald coldly.
“…Very well, Mr. Crawford! We’ll call both of them immediately… In your dreams!” scoffed the receptionist from
before, her gaze brimming with ridicule now as she glared at Gerald.
Watching as he frowned back at her, the receptionist then snapped, “What? Did you take us all as fools? Just have a
good look at how you’re dressed! How dare you even pretend to be the real Mr. Crawford! Have you any idea how
many ‘Mr. Crawfords’ there are in Mayberry at this very moment? To think you’d dare behave so atrociously here!
Do you even know where you are now? Whatever the case is… Security! Kick this troublemaker out of this place
already!”
As she tossed the pen she was holding onto the ground, a few guards—who had been posted nearby—quickly
marched over, ready to take action.
Seeing all this, Gerald could only sigh… So be it! Since Zack and Winson weren’t currently around anyway, he may
as well just come back tomorrow morning!
It wasn’t as though Gerald wasn’t angry at the moment, quite the contrary, in fact.
While anyone who dared offend him would certainly not have a good ending, these people were his own
employees. What more, there was no real point in punishing them for their rudeness.
Though Gerald could’ve very easily proved that he was the real deal—allowing him to act all pretentiously before
them after that—he simply felt that there was no reason for him to do so.
What more, Gerald was currently feeling both extremely anxious and distraught, so he really couldn’t be bothered
about proving anything to them…
“…Fine, then! I’ll be returning in the morning to meet them, then!” replied Gerald as he shook his head, a wry smile

Watching as he slid a hand into his pocket before leaving, the guards found themselves glances before laughing
contemptuously.
“Who even was that kid? To think that he’d speak so imposingly even though he was dressed so poorly! Haha!”
“He must’ve escaped from some mental hospital… He certainly looked like a fool! Make sure you guys keep an eye
out for him if he dares come again tomorrow! We mustn’t allow Chairman Lyle and Chairman Zaito to run into him,
otherwise we’ll all be sacked for sure, especially since the company’s general meeting is going to be held
tomorrow! With that said, everything has to go perfectly!” reminded the receptionist from before as she looked at
the guards.
“Worry not, if he really dares to show up tomorrow, we’ll just teach him a lesson he’ll never forget!” reassured the
guards.
Meanwhile, Gerald was already starting to head to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment when he walked past a group of
young men and women…
Watching as he walked past them, one of the gorgeously dressed girls—from within that group—caught a glimpse
of him and instantly ended up freezing in place.
“…Hold it. That kid there…! Stop right there! You’re that guy, aren’t you?” called out that girl as she scratched the
back of her head, seemingly trying to remember Gerald’s name.
