Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 282
Since when did he become the most wicked youngster in Mayberry?
“Well…of course I’ve heard of him! But I’ve only heard of the good things!” Gerald’s face flushed beet red in embarrassment.
“What do you mean by good things? Don’t you know how businesses work? Some time ago, Gerald invested a large amount of capital into Mayberry’s major enterprises. It might have seemed like a power move, but many other businesses in the Mayberry community were screwed as well, no thanks to him. The businesses that received a sudden injection of funds underwent some over-rapid development, disrupting the business community’s balance. Of course, it also posed an enormous challenge to second and third-tier enterprises like us! Many people from the business community hate him to the bone!”
Wynn was done talking. Gerald lowered his cutlery and rubbed his nose.
Of course, he knew all about those massive investments Wynn was talking about. He represented his sister while investing in those projects, including the funding of Scothow Elementary School and other similar projects.
Gerald never gave it much thought and simply did everything per what his sister told him to do.
After doing so, however, he did not delve in any deeper.
Unbeknownst to him, the influx of large funds had disrupted the economic balance of Mayberry.
To put it in one way, he was the reason why Wynn was so worried about her investment. It resulted in her neglecting Minnie, where she eventually lost sight of her and let her fall into the water.
Gerald could not help but smile bitterly.
“Hmph, enough talking from me. Right, so Gerald, you’re about to start your internship soon, aren’t you? Any good places in mind?”
It now seemed to be Wynn’s turn to ask the questions.
Gerald was honest and kind, but from the way he dressed and the cell phone he used, Wynn could tell that he came from a poor family.
There was kindness within Wynn’s heart, and she was all but concerned over Gerald’s future.
“I haven’t decided where I’d go yet!” replied Gerald.
“That’s fine. If you don’t have any place to go, you’re welcome to intern at my company. I’ll double your salary, and as long as you follow me, I guarantee you’ll be able to buy your own house in Mayberry within five years!”
Somehow, Wynn was tempted to keep Gerald by her side.
Their conversation was interrupted by Minnie. “Mommy, what do you need Uncle Gerald to buy a house for? Just let him live here with us! Once I grow up, I’ll have my own house, so you can live with Uncle Gerald!”
“Minnie, what are you babbling about! How can mommy live with Uncle Gerald? Only married couples are allowed to live together, do you understand?”
Wynn couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Ooh, I understand now!”
