    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 757


    “Hello, Mr. Crawford. I’m Xavion!”


    Xavion was Chairman Gordon. Gerald met him at the extravagant marketing party for the Mountain Top


    Vi in Howard County the other day. They had exchanged numbers during their brief interaction there.


    “Nice to hear from you again, Chairman Gordon. Is there anything I can help you with?”


    Gerald smiled and said.


    “Yes, there’s something I’d like to discuss. We’re organizing a banquet, and we’ve invited rich


    businessmen from various ces to attend the event. At first, we didn’t dare to invite you since we’re


    just mere businessmen, and it might be more of an inconvenience for you to attend our banquet. But


    the response we’ve received is astounding. Rich businessmen and distinguished members of


    Mayberry’s society have agreed toe. Those presidents said that they’re your subordinates. So, I


    was calling to ask if you’re free to attend our humble little feast.”


    Xavion said.


    Doing actual business and earning money were only side-quests when one reached the level of Xavion


    in the business world. For people like him, connections were equal to business.


    It was much wiser to maintain and develop connections thanpared to developing a project.


    That was why affluent businessmen loved to hold functions where they could mingle together.


    It was because they might get acquainted with the presidents of otherpanies. There, they would


    then make new connections, and new connections meant new opportunities.


    Gerald was no exception to having this habit of attending functions regrly.


    Gerald found it hard to refuse Xavion’s hospitality.


    But now, he really had no time given the current circumstances he found himself in.


    He reluctantly turned down the invitation that Mr. Xavion had extended to him.


    He hung up the phone afterward.


    It seemed that X was actively eavesdropping on the conversation Gerald had over the phone.


    “Hmph! Who’s going to treat you to a meal this time? Which Chairman Gordon is it? Could it be


    Chairman Gordon from back then?”


    X asked curiously.


    After all, X hated the idea of Gerald bing close to Chairman Gordon.


    “It’s nobody!”


    Gerald smiled bitterly. “I saw the damage to the rear of your car just now. X, isn’t it too much to ask


    for seventy-five thousand dors?”


    Gerald was rich, but he was no fool.


    “Isn’t it too much? F*ck! The men from the garage wille and assess the damage soon! You’ll see it


    then. Maybe it’ll cost even more than my estimated amount! You’re just making up excuses since you


    can’t even pay for what I’m asking!”


    X said.


    After that, she crossed her arms across her chest and waited for the vehicle damage assessors to


    arrive.


    Just yesterday, she was worried that Gerald would strike gold after bing acquainted with


    Chairman Gordon during the party.


    That exined why she was in such a foul mood today.


    But X’s worries faded away the moment she saw Gerald arriving on his silly little electric tricycle. To


    think that he’s so broke that he even needs to bargain over seventy-five grand!


    After a short while, the vehicle damage assessors from the garage arrived to check the damage on


    X’s car.


    After checking around the car, they whispered to each other. Then, they grabbed their tools and stood


    up.


    “How is it? How much do we need for the repairs? I’m sure it’s at least seventy-five grand.”


    X said with her arms crossed.


    “Yes. If we’re going to repair all the damage, our estimate is that everything will probably cost around


    seventy thousand dors.”


    One of the assessors replied.


    “D*mn! Seventy thousand dors?”


    “That’s too cruel!”


    The crowd shouted in surprise.


    X was plenty surprised herself, as she stuck her tongue out at Gerald. She asked for forty-five


    thousand dors entirely based on her own experience. To think that the cost would be nearly twice


    that amount!


    She was still that young girl. The influence and power she possessed came entirely from her


    boyfriend’s hard work. She herself did not have much experience with luxury cars.

    Initially, she even thought that it would only cost around thirty thousand dors.


    She then smiled smugly and said, “Haha! Gerald, did you hear that? The car repair fee is around


    seventy thousand dors. Besides that, there’s stillpensation for my emotional distress since


    you’ve wasted my time. Just do the calction yourself and see. Let me tell you. It definitely won’t be


    resolved even with seventy-five thousand dors!”


    ‘I asked for seventy-five thousand dors just now. Now, it definitely won’t do with only seventy-five


    thousand dors.’


    ‘I don’t want to make you look too bad, but you’re the one who refused my kindness. Hmph! Go and cry


    in the corner then!’


    Gerald could only shrug his shoulders wordlessly in resignation.


    “That’s fine. Thank you for your hard work. Write me a quotation for the car repair fee. You can leave


    after that. Here, a tip as well!”


    As X was saying that, she took a few ten-dor bills from her purse and shoved them towards the


    vehicle damage assessors.


    But they shook their heads, refusing to take the money.


    “Madam, please listen to me first. Just put aside the money for the car repair fee. What we want to say


    is that this car isn’t ours.”
