The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 511-520

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 511

Gerald was in a great rush. He knew that this should’ve been over and done with two days ago.

However, due to that hiccup with Xeno, this dorm project was delayed.

Since some of the areas were chosen explicitly by Gerald, he decided to pay a personal visit to the real estate center.

Gerald entered the center and immediately approached the front counter.

The moment the real estate agent noticed Gerald, her expression immediately darkened. She was filled with awkwardness and dejection.

She had thought that Gerald was just another poor idiot without enough money to afford a property. Hence, when he had come by under the company of Leila Jung, she insisted that Gerald take up a loan.

Her attitude towards Gerald was cold as well; she thought he wasn’t worth the effort since he didn’t seem to be the wealthy type.

Then the very next day, he decided not to take up a loan. Instead, he wanted to buy the property with full payment. This would mean that the agent would have earned the lowest possible commission fees.

She immediately put off her professional attitude and scowled at Gerald, “Are you an idiot? I said you should take up a loan! Are you stupid, or are you just plain dumb? Do you really think you’re all that with just this bit of money?”

Those were indeed very harsh words.

Gerald, however, would have none of it, throwing a bag of cash to her feet.

“Quit wasting my time and get on with it!”

As his voice echoed through the lobby, everyone was stunned in place. All of them shot dirty looks at the real estate agent, and she was humiliated thoroughly this time around.

Seeing the very man who humiliated her in public, mixed emotions flooded the agent.

“I’d like to ask. Oh, just before that, I’d like to ask you another thing. Why wouldn’t you reply to any of my texts? You wouldn’t even answer my calls! What kind of customer service is this? Am I no longer your customer after I’ve bought the property?”

Gerald was slightly annoyed as she had been actively ignoring him for the past two days.

“Hmph, what do you want this time? Did you change your mind and would like to take up a loan now? Oops, too bad, that’s not possible. Also, if you’d like to furnish the property, you’d have to wait till the grant deed is registered. Now that I’m done answering your questions, do you still need anything else? If not, I have other customers to tend to. I’m a very busy woman, after all.” Agent Luna rolled her eyes at Gerald.

Other agents who were present giggled softly in the back. They seemed to be enjoying the show.

Everyone in the lobby knew that Luna Maddison was the feistiest agent out of all of them.

Of course, she would want revenge after being humiliated. With swift movements, Luna gathered all her documents and went to the other side of the counter to continue her work.

“Don’t you dare give me an attitude! I am a customer!” Gerald scowled.

“Hah, what attitude? What kind of attitude would you like me to have? All you did is buy a house, get over it! I wasn’t even able to earn much commission from you. Three hundred dollars of commission? Oh please. If you want it back that much, I literally don’t give a damn! Have it and never come back! Hmph!” Luna spat and turned away.

If he were to apply for a mortgage, she would’ve been able to earn much more than merely three hundred dollars. She would’ve even made a bonus after successfully selling the property. Without this, Luna’s salary might even be deducted.

“Where is your manager? Are you all just a bunch of animals without supervision?” Gerald didn’t expect that Luna would be giving him such a nasty attitude this time around.

The employees at the front counter just kept their heads low, ignoring Gerald as well. It was clear as day that he was being looked down on.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman walked into the lobby, “Hey Luna, what is the meaning of this? You were the employee with the most amount of sales last year. How are you publicly arguing with others now!”

All of the employees at the front counter instantly stood up at attention and greeted her politely.

“Ah, Mrs. Millers, welcome!”

“Wow, Mrs. Millers, still as beautiful as always!” everyone chimed.

Luna smiled brightly, saying, “Mrs. Millers, it was just this man over here, causing a nuisance. If my cousin hadn’t asked me to help him, I wouldn’t have even talked to him in the first place. So Mr. Millers, how many properties would you like to buy this time?” She turned to her husband and asked.

Mr. Millers, an interior designer, was the type to buy many properties and give them a whole new look.

These properties would then be rented out. Hence, he was one of the biggest customers of the company.

“I’d just like to buy just one this time, but I need it done fast!” Mr. Millers said as he hugged his wife by the waist.

The couple then shot Gerald a dirty look; it would seem that they have developed a sense of superiority. Everyone was flocking towards them but ignoring Gerald after all.

In the VIP area, all of Gerald’s old classmates had witnessed the whole incident. Lilian wanted to go up to him, but it would seem that Gerald had gotten himself into an argument with the agent.

After hesitating briefly, Lilian decided to stay put. Moreover, it was way too awkward to approach him, now that he has been humiliated. If anyone were to approach him directly, his self-esteem would probably be shattered.

Luna, still seemingly angered, handed Mr. Millers a few documents.

She then turned to a petite girl behind her and handed her the remaining documents in her hands. “Hey, Nicki! You’re going to have to handle this customer from now on. All you need to do is change my name to yours! Oh, and I’ll transfer the three hundred dollars of commission to you later through Paypal. He’s yours to deal with now. Bloody hell.”

After making sure that Nicki had made the correct changes, she glared at Gerald then turned to Mr. Millers with a cheery smile plastered on her face.

On the other hand, a soft voice spoke out, “Mr. Crawford, I’ll be working with you now. If you have any questions, you… erm… feel free to ask!” Nicki seemed to be very timid, and she was very young for an agent; she was at most 21 years old.

She was most likely new to the job. However, she seemed to be passionate about her job despite the hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Gerald glanced at Luna coldly, then smiled softly to Nicki, “Okay then, can you show me the layout of these two buildings? B1 and B2, please.”

“Okay, sir, I’ll give you a brief introduction!” Nicki nodded.

“Hmph, Nicki, he already bought a house. He’s probably just trying to waste your time. Why do you even bother? Tell him to leave if he doesn’t have any other business here, and get a life!” Luna scoffed upon hearing their conversation.

“Oh Luna dear, why bother conversing with him? Hah, he probably doesn’t even own more than three properties. That’s why he keeps wanting to look at different properties! It’s wishful thinking, I tell you!” Mr. Millers snickered.

“Honey, you don’t say the prices for properties in our city have inflated so much. Being able to buy a property is probably the greatest achievement for them in this economy!” Mrs. Millers added sarcastically.

Despite the ridicule, Nicki still dug out the layout for B1 and B2 and handed them to Gerald. Both of these buildings were new projects. Hence they weren’t for sale just yet.

Nicki then explained to Gerald thoroughly and patiently. Gerald nodded, closed the documents in his hands, and said, “Okay, I’ve decided to buy both of these buildings, bring me the legal documents!”

“What?!”

Everyone in the lobby, including Luna, was stunned.

What followed after was a room full of laughter. Especially Luna and the Millers, they laughed so hard that tears were welling up in their eyes.

“Hahaha, holy f*ck my dude, you can’t just go around bluffing like that!” Mr. Millers laughed, holding his abdomen.

“Is he insane?”

“Yeah, two whole buildings! I thought I f*cking misheard him, hahaha!”

“Yo… do we need to call for security?”

Even the employees at the front counter seemed to be running out of breath from all the laughing.

Suddenly, the manager walked into the lobby with a stern expression.

“What happened? Where is everyone’s sense of professionalism? Just look at all of you! Ridiculous!”

Luna bit her lip to keep her composure. “No… No sir, this man over here, Gerald Crawford, he… he said he wanted two of our buildings! Hahaha!” Tears streamed down her bright red cheeks.

The manager seemed to be more professional than these agents. He took a deep breath and stared at Gerald for a brief moment before approaching him with a bland expression.

“Mr. Crawford was it…? Pfft!” Although he hadn’t said much, the manager could not help but let out a loud chuckle too.

What Gerald just said was just way too hilarious. Their principle was to always remain professional front no matter how ridiculous their customers are unless they couldn’t hold in their laughter any longer.
