The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 431

Waylon was definitely asking Jaxon for help.

However, before they could hear about the specifics, Waylon had already hung up. This was because he had noticed Xella and the rest entering the room.

“I’m so sorry Waylon! It’s all my fault!” said Xella apologetically.

“What are you talking about Xella? I was just caught by surprise when they started beating us up without even making the situation clear first! Don’t worry, my dad’s subordinates are dealing with them right now! My dad’s heard about your troubles as well!” said Waylon in a fierce voice.

Xella was just about to say something when her phone began ringing.

Taking in a deep breath, she answered it. It was only a brief talk and she hung up not long after.

“…It’s all over now! The call was from my president and he informed me that I was fired!” said Xella weakly.

She knew that she had just lost her chance of having a great career. Since she was now fired, she would no longer be able to enter any excellent subsidiary companies or investment in companies under the Dream Investment Group.

It was all gone.

“…What? You were fired?”

Somehow Waylon had never considered that possibility. At first, all he wanted to do was to show off his capabilities in front of Xella.

His goal was to make her admire and fall in love with him.

He had fought and taken a beating to help her but not only did that fail to resolve Xella’s issue, it only increased her burdens since she was now essentially jobless.

“Waylon… what should we do now? It definitely feels like they’ll continue to harass Xella!” asked Rae, being the meddling person she was.

“Don’t forget! We still have Waylon’s father on our side! He’s definitely much more powerful than some deputy manager!” sneered a male classmate as he analyzed the situation.

At that moment, Waylon’s phone rang.

He picked it up immediately.

“How is it, dad? …What did you say? Oh god. Alright, I got it. What about me? Alright, dad. I get it!”

When he finally hung up, his face was pale and his hand was trembling so much that the phone dropped onto the bed.

“…Waylon? What’s wrong?” asked Xella, concerned.

“…It’s all over for me. The person who had beaten me up was the senior executive from the headquarters. Though dad wanted to manipulate his connections with Jaxon, in the end, Jaxon is just a driver. He’s definitely not as influential as that senior executive… What more, the senior executive has worked for Mr. Michael Zeke before… He’s Mr. Zeke’s loyal confidant! Even Jaxon doesn’t want to get involved in this. My dad’s begging them now and he called to tell me to apologize to that deputy manager tonight!”

Waylon wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.

Xella was in utter dismay.

So it turns out that Waylon was also in deep trouble.

“AlsoXella… My dad told me… told all of us not to act too rashly anymore… Charlie had harassed you in the company. The issue could have been solved easily with you filing a complaint to your superiors… They’d definitely punish that pervert severely once they find out about his misdeeds… All that we’ve done today has only made the situation much, much worse… Nothing is going right. I’m in deep trouble now and you lost your job too!” said Waylon in an uncharacteristically soft tone. He was finally speaking like a humble person now.

Hearing that, Xella felt as if someone had given her the exact same advice before…

As her view panned across the wardroom, she noticed Gerald standing by the door. Of course. It was exactly as Gerald had advised her to do when they had met outside the washrooms earlier.

Before this, she had thought that Gerald was inexperienced. She had even disapproved of his suggestion…

In the end, if she had only followed his advice, none of this would have happened. The matter could have been resolved easily.

But it was too late to regret it…

The classmates then tried to cheer the mood by sharing possible positive outcomes from today’s events. However deep inside, they all knew that they were just consoling each other.

At that moment, Xella’s phone rang again.

She picked the call up and just like before, she only talked for a short while.

However, the details of the call seemed to be either very shocking or very important to Xella. This was because nearing the end of the call, her eyes were wide open and an expression of utter disbelief was painted on her face.

“Xella? What’s wrong?”

It took Xela a while to answer as she was still dumbfounded by the call.

“The boss… My company’s boss called me in person just now. He told me that I could resume my work there and that I was going to be transferred to the personnel department. I’ll work as a trainee there and I’ll even be given training so that I’ll be able to hold much higher posts in the department in the future… He even apologized to me about the issue regarding Charlie… He told me that Charlie had been fired and he even said that it was a decision made by the superiors!”

“…Eh?”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 432

Everyone was stunned. In their minds, they were all thinking the same thing.

‘…What? That’s such a drastic change! And so quickly too!’

“…Xella, I definitely think that someone’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes to help you… Otherwise, why would your boss even step forward to deal with the pervert in the first place? Investigating the matter doesn’t require the boss’s involvement and yet he still called your personal number to apologize! What more, the pervert’s been fired!”

“I agree. You said it yourself that the decision was made by the superiors. Someone must definitely have used their connections to do this!”

Rae and the others were openly discussing their speculations now.

“I think that’s the case as well. It’s extremely difficult to get appointed as a potential trainee for the personnel department. I can’t help but wonder who has that much power to make even the boss and my superiors take action…” said Xella as she rubbed her temple gently.

Suddenly, she froze before looking up and fixing her gaze on Gerald.

“Gerald!” she unconsciously shouted as she stood up.

“…Eh? Gerald?”

Everyone else in the room looked at him in shock.

Gerald had not expected Xella’s reaction, even though she was right.

Earlier when the rest were discussing among themselves, Gerald had left the wardroom to give Zach a call. Zach was ordered to resolve the issue as soon as he could.

Now that everything had been resolved, it surprised Gerald that Xella could guess the truth so quickly.

“I think I know who helped me, Gerald!” she said as she walked toward him.

“You know, thinking back, on our way here you had said that we shouldn’t look down on others since they may be the only people who can help us in the end, even though we had initially looked down on them. Thank you for reminding me about this Gerald!” Xella continued to express her gratitude to Gerald.

‘You think you know who helped you?’ Gerald thought to himself. Did that mean that the cat wasn’t out of the bag yet?

She then began explaining. “I was hired by the deputy manager from the personnel department. He’s a diligent young manager and every time we meet, he nods slightly and says a simple greeting. Though it doesn’t sound like much, I think that he’s been the one helping me a lot in secret!”

“At first, I simply thought that he was an honest and well-behaved man who only focused his attention on his work. Thinking back, however, he may be much more humble and sophisticated than I thought. I’m saying this now because I heard from my colleagues the other day that he may not be who he portrays himself to be!” said Xella.

Gerald’s confusion was cleared the moment she finished her explanation. So she had guessed wrong after all, though it didn’t really bother him.

Xella however, still felt the need to confirm her theory so she called up a close female colleague of hers.

“Hello? Lyla? Do you still remember our talk about the deputy manager from the personnel department? I think I remember you saying that he’s a cousin to a superior? Alright. Yeah, it’s nothing. Thanks! You can resume your work now!”

After hanging up, Xella looked so excited that even her eyes were now teary.

“Xella? Are you really sure it was him? Does he like you or something?” asked Rae, her inevitable jealousy firing up again.

“Whether he likes me or not, I’m unsure. However, I’m sure that he’s helped me several times in secret by now. He must have been one of the first people to find out that I was getting fired! Whatever the case, I’ll ask him to clarify all this when I get to work tomorrow!”

“I’m so jealous of all of you. Morgana was helped by Cameron so she’s now an official doctor while Xella has both Waylon and the deputy manager constantly aiding her! Sharon even has a rich heir as her partner! I don’t have anything that fancy!” said Rae while biting her lower lip in jealousy. She glanced at the tycoon once without saying anything else.

Morgana could only smile bitterly at her statement while she consoled Rae.

“Don’t say that, Rae. The tycoon isn’t that bad! Also, since you’re so free standing there, could you get some hot water?” asked Morgana as she turned to look at Gerald.

‘Really? Everyone else is standing here doing nothing too!’ Gerald sighed as he thought to himself.

Still, he couldn’t refuse so he simply walked over to a table with an empty glass jug on it.

“Dr. Lopez, both the president and the vice president are coming to the ward now!” said a nurse who had stuck her head into the room. After passing the message, she left.

“Eh? The president is coming?” asked Morgana, shocked.

Waylon was shocked as well. “Maybe the president found out that I had been admitted to the hospital so he’s coming over to pay me a visit. Xella, come help me up. My dad is acquainted with the president so I need to look my best.”

Seconds ago, Waylon was honestly still angry that his moment had been snatched away by Xella’s deputy manager.

However, knowing that the president was personally coming over to meet him calmed his rage slightly. As Xella supported him, he slowly got to his feet, feeling slightly excited.

Gerald on the other hand, wanted to leave the room since the number of people there was going to increase again. He grabbed the jug and headed for the door to get some hot water.

At that moment, the door opened and in front of him, was the president himself.

“Oh? Mr. Crawford, what are you doing here?”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 433

He rubbed his hands together excitedly as he asked the question, a smile on his face.

“…Eh? Mr. Crawford?”

The others in the ward were dumbfounded when they heard the name.

This was especially the case for Waylon who had been ready to greet the president and act smugly in front of the others. He was twice as stunned as anyone else in the room.

‘Why did he address Gerald as Mr. Crawford?’

“You know who I am, president?” asked Gerald. He was stunned as well.

“Of course I do! Back then when Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, I went to pay him a visit as well. However, I wasn’t able to catch you in time before you left!” said the president as he continued to smile.

Thinking about his words, Gerald pieced the puzzle together quickly.

When Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, he had bumped into Morgana at the cafeteria. Back then, Morgana was troubled with her issue at work.

When he left and met up with Zack later, he had told him about Morgana’s job issues.

Though her issues were eventually resolved, the credit had been snatched by Cameron in the end.

It must have been sometime then when the president had heard about Gerald.

Thinking back, Mr. Winters had also mentioned the president visiting him a while back ago though Gerald hadn’t paid it much notice then.

“Mr. Crawford, I heard from the head nurse that you were here so I specifically came over to meet you! Do tell us if you have any requests. We’ll get it done immediately!” continued the president.

He then looked at Morgana who had been standing beside them. “Look here, Mr. Crawford! After being recommended by you, Morgana is now an official doctor here! She’s quite a diligent and responsible employee so she’s been receiving high praise from both the patients and our staff! It was kind of you to recommend such a good and talented person to us!” The smile on the president’s face widened as he said that.

The two of them continued to chat about some other things. A few talented people who had been standing behind the president shook hands with Gerald before all of them finally left.

Back then, Gerald had simply told Zack to use his connections in the province to resolve Morgana’s issues. Gerald wasn’t even directly part of that.

However, it would seem that the president was quite a capable man himself. After all, he managed to learn that Zack was just Gerald’s subordinate acting under Gerald’s orders.

When their backs could no longer be seen, Gerald turned to look back into the room.

It was then when he realized that all his classmates had been looking at him in shock.
