The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man) Chapter 141
About a dozen pictures
were posted in the group.
These pictures
had caused a huge sensation in the group.
“Damn! Are these pictures
fake? This definitely cannot be true! This looks just like an American
blockbuster!”
“Yes! There
are so many helicopters! No one else can beat this!”
“Isn’t this the unfinished building
at the south of the city? Why are there
so many helicopters flying
around and surrounding the whole building?” There was a heated discussion in the group.
“I do not know the specific
situation but at that time, some of us were preparing to go out for a picnic.
We happened
to be at the scene
at this time. Looking at the pictures
doesn’t do justice
at all.
You guys
should have gone to the scene
to see it for yourself! It was absolutely crazy!” “666! Didn’t
you guys take a video?”
“We didn’t
dare to take a video because there were a lot of people there at that time. I was afraid of
getting spotted. So I just left immediately after I took some pictures!” “Oh dear what a shame!”
Everyone
continued discussing this matter.
Cassandra, the counselor, who had not said anything,
could not help but voice out: “These pictures are
all true. Many people photographed these helicopters rushing
to the south of the city earlier
today. But
in
less than an hour, all the photographs that were posted on the Internet are all
gone!” “These are not commercial helicopters but it seems as though these are private
helicopters.
Some of my
friends in my social
media said that these helicopters were going there to pick up a rich young master!”
“Damn!!”
The group continued their speculations even more heatedly. “Who is this young master?
He must be
extremely rich and powerful!”
Gerald could
not help but chuckle as he looked
at these pictures
as he sat in his car.
These helicopters were all there to save him today. How would these group of people react if he
exposed this news to them?
As he thought about
this, he couldn’t
help but feel a tinge
of guilty pleasure. Hahaha… Right at that moment.
Cassandra: “Harry…stop acting
like a fool over there.
By the way, Felicity’s live broadcast for the popular
star competition in the same city will begin in an hour. All of you are classmates, so you should try to
support her later. Even if you are not going to support
her with many, you should also log in to view her
live broadcast.”
“Just look at Felicity! She is already
earning over one thousand five hundred dollars
a month even before
her own graduation. Since there will be a popular star competition later,
then I will also go and watch
Felicity’s live broadcast
then!” “Okay, counselor!”
“No problem! She will definitely make it to the top!”
The students chimed
in one after the other.
“Thank you, everyone! Kisses! If I manage to win the popularity award
this time, then I will definitely
treat everyone to a meal! I love all of you, ma babes!” Felicity
sent a voice note directly
into the group
chat.
A group of pathetic jerks were all wailing all over the place. Her voice was too soft and sweet!
Gerald also secretly
placed his cell phone against
his ear to listen to Felicity’s voice
clearly. At that very
instance, Felicity’s fair and delicate face flashed through in his mind. She
was simply too
beautiful.
Although Felicity
had always been very contemptuous towards Gerald, it would be a lie to say that
Gerald had no feelings at all for such a beautiful girl.
Since everyone
was going to play, then he might as well join in the fun then.
Anyway, he still had fifteen thousand
dollars in his live broadcast
account and he would not be able to
take the money out anyway. @Gerald, are you here?
The counselor, Cassandra, suddenly called
Gerald out. Gerald
immediately replied.
“Well, since you will not be able to support Felicity
in any way during her live broadcast later anyway,
you might as well ask the poverty
group from our class to help me move houses
then. I will be waiting
for you at the west gate later!”
Damn it!
Gerald
really felt like scolding someone
after reading Cassandra’s message.
Cassandra was only about
twenty five years
old and she was equivalent to the kind of new teacher who
had just graduated
from university.
Under any normal circumstances, she really disliked
the poor and she really
loved those who were rich.
She would always
play and get along very well with the young and rich students and she was more like a
friend to them,
rather than a teacher.
However, she had always been very strict and serious
towards Gerald and the other poor students.
It
was as though
she was a real teacher.
The poverty group,
as the name suggested was a group of five or six poor students
in their class.
They were in dire need and Gerald was the leader
of the poverty group.
This was because
Gerald was the poorest amongst
all of them, the most honest and also the person who
worked the hardest!
That was the reason
why Cassandra made him the leader of the group.
The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man)
Chapter 142
In Cassandra’s heart,
although Gerald had already won the lottery
and paid all of his tuition fees, she
was already
used to him being a pauper. No matter how rich he was, she would still
think that he was a
poor person whenever
she looked at him every
once in a while. To her, Gerald
did not even look like a rich man at all!
Despite feeling really angry and annoyed, Gerald finally agreed to her request. After all, what else could
he do if he refused
to agree to her request?
At the same time, Gerald
then sent another
text message to the poverty
group, telling all the members
to gather at the west gate.
He drove his car and parked it at a hidden,
secluded place. After that, he went to the west gate.
“Gerald, why is the counselor always asking us to help her move things?”
“Yes, by the way, Gerald, haven’t
you already won the lottery?
You have a lot of money now.
So, how
can you possibly still
be the leader of the poverty group?”
The poverty
group consisted of only five people, including
Gerald. There were three boys and two girls in the group.
The boy named
Ywain Woods was very thin, weak and a little
tanned. He would always be focused on
studying and he would not usually be talking to anyone else.
There was also a girl named, Layla Hack, who wore glasses.
She was very fair and not very tall.
Anyone could
tell that she was a very geeky person at first glance.
This was mostly because
of her family’s upbringing where she would
often have a sense of inferiority.
She did not like to hang out with her classmates because she would
always feel a little inferior
compared
to them.
Hence, she doesn’t usually
talk much.
The group
of people tend to only converse more when they are with Gerald.
This wasn’t because they looked down on Gerald,
but simply because
they felt that Gerald was relatable
and belonged
to the same world as them.
Gerald could sense Ywain’s dissatisfaction and Layla’s persuasion were both due to the fact that they
had suffered
injustice and their self-esteem had been seriously
hurt in the class group chat. Unfortunately, Gerald couldn’t comment
anything on this and after all, he was also a little angry about
this matter.
It seemed as though
he would have to look for an opportunity to teach his counselor,
Cassandra a lesson then.
“Everyone is here,
right? Layla, you and Lora can go to the faculty’s new house to clean the rags and
wash the cloth first. Gerald,
you can go with Ywain and the rest. The three of you can help the workers
to move the furniture for me. Listen
to the worker’s instructions before
you do anything! Be careful
not
to break any of my furniture!”
After Cassandra
was done speaking,
she turned around as she prepared to leave. She then suddenly
received a phone call.
She looked really
annoyed to answer
the call.
“Myra Jensons, what do you mean? I have already
told you many times that I am not the one who
reported you to the head of the department. You can look for whoever
you want to. Why do you have
to…you are the bitch!
You better watch your mouth!
Your whole family
are all shrews! I am even having
an affair with your husband!”
Cassandra completely lost her cool after there was some disagreement over the phone. She started
scolding the other party over the phone.
Gerald could not help but to listen
in on their conversation. The person named
Myra joined the
university one year before
Cassandra. She was also one of the counselors for one of the classes
in their
department.
The reality is that there
can only be one alpha,
which makes them both quarreling with each other
always.
What’s more, Myra has recently married
a very wealthy husband. In that sense,
she seemed to have
suppressed Cassandra in various aspects.
Having said that, they would often quarrel about almost everything.
Perhaps Cassandra felt as though
she had not cursed enough.
She then threw Gerald an ice cold stare
and snapped:
“What are you looking
at? Get out of my sight and get to work!” Upon hanging up, she turned
around and left immediately.
Gerald was so angry
that he really wanted to pull her skirt off, before he pressed her down on the
ground and *** fifty
times.
However, he had no other choice
but to get to work for the time being.
There were a lot of things and an hour had already
passed when they were done moving the items.
Their group chat on the other hand was also exploding.
“Hey babes!
Felicity’s live broadcast is starting now! Hurry up and join in now until ten o’clock tonight.
Whether I can become the new star anchor in this city or not will depend on all of your support!”
Felicity sent a message to everyone in the group
chat.
Everyone
in the group chat and Felicity’s live broadcast also began to be the peak
focus… Gerald was almost done with his work here. He saw Cassandra sitting
at the side of her bed as she
started swiping
on her cell phone.
He also plopped himself
down on the sofa before he entered
Felicity’s life broadcast…
The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man)
Chapter 143
After Felicity roped everyone in.
Suddenly, many classmates started
gathering in her live broadcast
room, accompanied by her two to
three thousand fanbase
that she had accumulated during this period of time. She started
typing on the public screen.
After signing
with the live broadcast guild throughout this period, Felicity
has really learnt and acquired
a lot of live broadcast
skills.
She was already very proficient at chatting and keeping a conversation and also showing
off her talents
on her live broadcast.
“Babes, can you send me a wave of gifts? Kisses!”
“I will give all of my babes a big kiss! I will sing a song, ‘Meow,
Meow, Meow’ for all of my babes today!”
Fans: “Oh, oh, oh! Felicity
is really very beautiful. I love hearing
Felicity’s voice!”
“Ordinary Man! Jersey! I hope that the two local tycoons
are going to come in to support
me soon! I will
be joining
the competition soon. I’m going
to need your help real soon!” “Hurry
up and sing!”
Felicity smiled sweetly
before she turned
on the special effects. She instantaneously became a little
kitten because of the special
effects.
“Let’s learn to meow together,
together meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, being coquettish with you
in your arms, oh let’s meow, meow, meow, meow, meow…” Jersey
sent you a rocket!
Jersey sent you a rocket!
Jersey sent you a rocket!
As Felicity was singing, Jersey
hastily sent many gifts in Felicity’s live broadcast. There were also continuous interactions in the live broadcast room.
It was very lively.
Gerald was also watching
the live broadcast at this time and he originally planned
to give her some gifts.
However, Felicity’s performance style this time was indeed very different
compared to her other live
broadcasts before.
In general, she was fixated
more on making
money and there
was no purpose in her
live broadcast
at all.
It did not feel like a genuine live broadcast anymore.
If Gerald
gave her a gift now, then he would feel as though
he had been cheated. Hehehe.
He would have to wait a little
longer.
Gerald looked around
the room at this time.
Cassandra was also looking at the live broadcast in a serious
manner.
Layla and the others
were all also gathered together
as they watched
the live broadcast
together in an
envious manner.
After all, vanity was a temptation that not every girl could resist and that explains
their jealousy.
As for Gerald, he felt that Felicity’s live broadcast room had already
become too boring.
He then left her
live broadcast room and decided to go into another female anchor’s
live broadcast room. Unexpectedly, he ended up in a live broadcast belonging to someone
named Quera Zane. This
female anchor had a popularity of almost ten thousand fans. In fact, she was
actually quite
beautiful.
It was no wonder
why she had so many fans supporting her.
There were many comments
on Quera’s live broadcast room during this time. She was simply facing the
camera as she applied makeup
on her face and was not talking
or interacting much with any of her fans
at all.
Nearly ten thousand people were simply
watching Quera put on her makeup. “When
will you be performing and showing us your talent?”
Gerald typed into the public
screen.
He wanted
to see this beauty singing
and dancing.
Since Gerald was a verified
member, the public
screen would be very conspicuous when he typed
something. Moreover,
the live broadcast window on Quera’s
side would also buzz a little. “Are you blind?
The person called
Ordinary Man!”
Quera unexpectedly frowned as she snapped at Gerald directly.
Her attitude was as terrible
as it could
possibly be.
“Can’t you see that I am putting on my makeup
now? Why are you rushing
me for? You can keep
watching if you want to and you can just leave if you don’t want to!” Quera replied coldly.
Hahaha. He must have thought that he was so great and awesome
just because he was a verified
member.
Quera had already seen all sorts
of people and members on the live broadcast platform. She despised
and felt most uncomfortable with those people who think they are somebody just because they’ve
managed to top up their account with some money.
All the more, she already
had the support of a lot of elder brothers. That being said, she had already
long
dismissed and ignored all her smaller fans or smaller members who were not as
rich. “Um, I was just asking you a question.
Since you are a live broadcast anchor,
shouldn’t you be
performing some talents for us?”
Gerald was really pissed.
He wanted to come online
to have some fun but he got scolded instead.
Who
wouldn’t be angry at that?
The moment
Gerald finished typing,
he got muted by the field control.
“Damn it! You should
seriously perform your own talents
then! The person
with the name, Ordinary
Man, why are you pretending to be so great just because you topped up some money into your
account?”
The field control started
typing and cursing
at Gerald.
By then Quera was already done applying her makeup and she said:
“Now, there are many pathetic jerks like this on the internet. They top up some money and they want to
go around flaunting
it and pretending they are so great.
You can win some newcomer
anchors with this
scam of yours, but you should just get lost and go as far away as
you can from me!” “Hahaha. Quera is angry. This Ordinary
Man is a joke. Doesn’t
he know that Quera is already the top
broadcast anchor in the city now?”
”Exactly! Quera has more than a dozen big brothers.
I heard that they are all big bosses in Mayberry
City. Even Brother Yoshi alone usually
drives a Range Rover on a daily basis!”
A swamp of fans continued typing below as they continued
cheering for the person called
Brother
Champion.
Champion: What is the matter, Quera? Are you lacking in gifts? I have already
added another fifteen
thousand dollars into my account
today. As for some pathetic
dicks, you can just kick them out of your
live broadcast
if you want to. “Ahh! Champion is here!”
As soon as Quera saw Champion
typing, she immediately put her cosmetics
aside. After that, she
jumped around excitedly, and she was really cute!
“Brother Champion, I thought that you didn’t
care about me anymore. I am not happy anymore!”
Quera said as she acted cute.
“Why would that happen?
Why wouldn’t I come?” “Okay!
Okay!”
As Quera spoke, she was smiling
at the screen as she moved the cursor using the mouse in her hand.
Brush!
Gerald was kicked out of the live broadcast room.
“Fuck!”
Gerald could not help but curse
out loud. He was really
furious. It was anger and annoyance.
He simply wanted
to watch a live broadcast. Why was it so difficult? He only said two sentences
but he
got kicked out of the live broadcast room by the female anchor.
Add to that, he was kicked
out of the live broadcast room after getting
insulted.
He was probably
the first person
to top up fifteen thousand
dollars into the live broadcast account.
When he was Gerald, he used to be in this situation. But how could he possibly
be in the same situation
now when he was already
using another identity
as Ordinary Man? How could he possibly
tolerate this?
Should he just top up some money and fight back?
That would be too simple.
To be honest,
Gerald already had some thoughts
in his mind when he was Felicity’s assistant the last
time.
He had been thinking
about how he could further
develop himself in the future.
Moreover, his sister had been telling him to do this for a long time now. He would definitely need to
start something on his own in future.
Gerald had been wondering if he should
start investing in some small
assets to start practicing and
accumulating experiences first.
Gerald did not understand things like real estate or commercial streets
for the time being. On the contrary, he was pretty
familiar with many things on the internet.
At that split
second, he really
wanted to try investing in a live broadcast platform.
Initially, Gerald did not have the opportunity to consider it in depth because of Mila’s matter.
But now…
For him, it would be killing two birds with one stone!
As he thought about
this, Gerald secretly
ran to the bathroom to call Zack.
He told him that he needed
some funds to invest in a live broadcast or something like that. To summarize, he wanted to make an investment.
Of course, Zack had no issues with that. He then assured
Gerald that it would be done within an hour.
After Gerald
came out of the toilet,
he saw that Ywain and the others
were all watching
the live
broadcast intensely!
“Gerald! Gerald!
The popularity competition has already begun!
Felicity is really
amazing.
The number
of
gifts that she has received has already exceeded
three thousand dollars
now! She has already defeated
two other female
anchors!” Ywain said excitedly.
Gerald nodded before he logged back into Felicity’s live broadcast
room to take a look. Felicity was very proud right now because she had a winning streak
in a row. Moreover, she was over
the
moon when she saw the number of gifts that she was receiving in the background! “Oh, I love all of my babes so much. Stay with me for another round and I will be able to advance
directly then!”
Felicity said as she laughed. “Sure to win!”
The fans shouted.
The so-called popularity competition is a little similar
to the way that the two persons
were conducting a
live broadcast. The two beautiful anchors would appear
in the same frame and they would have a
progress bar below them, recording the number of gifts that they have received. The person who
received more gifts would knock out the other
party directly.
This was a big event which was organized by the live broadcast platform
to get more income.
The connection activity continued…
Felicity was waiting
fearlessly for her next opponent
to appear. As the female anchor was connected,
the look on Felicity’s face changed immediately. Gerald was also very surprised!
It was none other than Quera,
who kicked him out of her live broadcast room just now. So much for coincidence.
Gerald thought.
A female
anchor with a popularity of ten thousand
fans, would not usually meet a newcomer
like
Felicity.
However, Felicity’s live broadcast popularity had already reached
almost seven thousand
fans.
It was obvious
that they were barely a match for one another.
In fact, Felicity
was completely aware of Quera’s
skills.
After all, she was the top female
anchor in their
same city live broadcast. This time, she really encountered a tough spot.
However, Felicity wasn’t
too afraid. Regardless of the outcome,
she would definitely work hard this time
round.
“Damn, the newcomer who is broadcasting live actually looks really pretty
too. But how can she possibly
be compared
to the goddess, Quera? Big brothers, kill her!” Some of the fans typed.
Felicity refused
to show signs
of weakness. She mustered up her courage
to ask for gifts. Both sides were at war and the progress bar began to move.
Both sides of the female
anchors’ screens were shown to all the audience.
So, those
with a lower progress bar began to desperately raise
the number of gifts for their fans.
Even though
this was the case, Felicity
was still too weak after all. Two minutes in later, and her gift
progress bar has already
been directly suppressed by the other party.
“Hehehe. New anchor, you really don’t seem to understand the rules at all, do you? If you had been
willing to come forward and give in directly like the other
anchors did, then perhaps I would have
interacted with you a little,
just so that you can increase the number of fans and gifts that you have. You
brought this upon yourself!” Quera sneered.
Felicity’s face flushed
red at the brink of losing.
But she still had one last chance. That was Ordinary
Man!
“Ordinary Man, are you here? I’m about
to lose. I can see that you are online
now. If you are there, can
you say that you will support
me? Ordinary Man, I don’t want to lose!” Felicity
broke into tears as she was speaking.
There was a huge gap in her heart.
Everything had been smooth
sailing earlier but now, not only was she despised
by Quera, but she was
even getting
mocked in front of her own fans.
She could not even raise her head in front of her own fans. Jersey alone would definitely not be able to defeat
their opponent. Felicity
could not refute
anything that the other party
said.
She was feeling
really frustrated right now.
In that split second,
she suddenly thought
of her supporter, Ordinary Man! After all, he was someone
who never failed
to surprise her all the time!
The comments
on the other side of the screen
were exploding.
“Hahaha. Ordinary Man? I clicked
into his profile
and checked him out. This Ordinary Man seems to be
the same Ordinary Man who got kicked out by Quera
just now!”
“Yes, yes, it’s him! Hahaha.
To think that he is running here to pretend
to be a big brother!” “Bah! Come, come. Fake local tycoon! If you have the guts to,
then you can come and compete with our
Brother Champion! We will show you what a real local tycoon
is!” The fans on the other side continued clamoring.
“Hahaha. Newcomer, it is useless
for you to cry. Let me tell you something. Your Ordinary Man, who is
your local
tycoon, was kicked
out from my live broadcast
room just now! He only ran back to you after
that! Why don’t you ask him about it? Why don’t you ask him if he dares to appear in front of me now?”
Quera asked contemptuously.
Felicity’s face started to turn a shade of purple. She felt extremely humiliated today.
“Who is Ordinary Man?”
Gerald was about to start cursing!
Cassandra suddenly
asked as she walked out, wearing her slippers.
“Oh, oh, counselor, Ordinary Man is one of Felicity’s first big brothers.
In fact, the reason why Felicity hit
her first monthly
income of more than thousands
of dollars is because of Ordinary Man.” Ywain hurriedly
replied.
“Hahaha. Is he a rich man just because of three thousand
dollars? I have seen many more big brothers
on a larger live broadcast platform. As soon as they logged
in, they would
be swiping tens of thousands
of dollars
just like that,
from the very beginning! Those
are the true rich tycoons!
I think that Felicity is
done for this time. It seems as though
the other party
has a real big brother
over there!” Cassandra
said as she put down her cell phone.
She had always
been keeping an eye on live broadcasts and knew that this was a profitable industry as
long as the person was attractive.
They could also gain fame through
this.
As such, many girls could not resist being addicted into live broadcasts.
As she spoke, Cassandra
suddenly glanced at Gerald who was sitting
at the side. “Gerald, who said that you can sit on my new sofa? Get up now!”
The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man)
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!
The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man)
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.
The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man)
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…
The Secretly rich man (Invisible Rich Man)
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.
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?”
