[Chapter 189]
The door of the car was opened.
The four women were stunned.
'What?
'Does this luxurious car belong to Gerald?
'Isn't he a poor man from our department? How could he afford to drive such a beautiful and luxurious car?'
They turned to look at Gerald, and their facial expressions changed drastically.
That car alone was much more expensive than Victor's Audi car. They sneered. 'So what about Victor? It's so much better than Victor's!
'How cool this Lamborghini car is!'
The leader from among the girls became pale. She then rushed toward Gerald and said nervously, "Gerald, is this car really yours? Is this yours?"
"If not, is it yours?"
Gerald seemed to be used to that kind of woman and their tones. He soon said coldly.
"Ah! This car is so cool! Is it around one to two million dollars?"
That woman soon got near the car. She completely lost herself by then. 'Look at this luxurious car! If I'm able to even sit in this car for even once, I'll be so happy that I might die!'
The other three women rushed toward the car too. They looked at Gerald in admiration.
"Around a million and eight hundred thousand dollars!"
Gerald started the engine of the car, and a charming growling sound was heard.
"Wow! It's so cool! Gerald, where are you going? Can you let us have a ride too?"
The woman smiled seductively and asked Gerald.
"Get lost!"Gerald scolded them coldly.
In fact, they were quite beautiful. But it was a totally different thing. They condemned Gerald for Victor's sake just now, but now they wanted him to give them a ride. A good thing like that would never happen.
After that, he drove the car and left directly.
"Gerald! You…"
They were being ignored by Gerald. They became so angry that they stamped their feet.
Unexpectedly, Gerald was an extremely wealthy person.
They felt as if they had suffered a great loss. They had offended a truly wealthy man just because of a stupid Victor. It was just not worth it.
How about Gerald?
After he scolded them, he drove his car directly to the outer area of the conference hall.
Although it was still quite early, Bernard and the other leaders were there now.
There were two parts in the function. The first entailed a meeting on the establishment of the school which would be held an hour later. Gerald needed to attend the meeting with a few other leaders in an isolated meeting room.
Gerald funded the establishment of Scothow Elementary School, and he had helped to establish around twenty to thirty such schools. The schools were built specially for the children of the workers who worked outstation, providing an educational platform for them.
It was quite a big contribution.
Certainly, he was rather highly valued and esteemed.
The second part of the function entailed a meeting with the teaching faculty and staff in the main conference hall.
Only two months were left before they started recruiting the students. They needed to arrange for the selection of the teaching staff in advance and provide training for them.
Gerald had to join the first part of the function and was forced to listen to Bernard talking ceaselessly about various things for around two hours.
However, Gerald did not plan to join the second part of the function, holding a meeting with the teaching faculty and staff.
It was because he did not have to raise any opinion there.
Besides, he felt pressurized, being with a bunch of teachers. Their academic levels were certainly not on par with each other.
They were quite knowledgeable and it would pressurize Gerald.
Since he was free, he decided to take a look at one of the schools near the venue of the function.
After all, it could be considered a particularly meaningful thing which he had done.
Gerald did not drive his car. He walked to the school instead.
Since that school was almost completely built when they resumed the project, it had now come to the furnishing stage after only two months. The entire school was now planted with trees and plants.
Undeniably, the surrounding of the school was quite good given the large funding he provided.
He snapped two photographs of the school, planning to send and share them with his sister later.
"Stop! Don't you know that you're prohibited to snap photographs in school? Didn't you see the warning on the sign?"
At that moment, he heard a cold and stern female voice.
Gerald was frightened.
He turned around and saw the sign. It claimed that snapping photographs were prohibited there.
"I'm sorry. I didn't notice that. I'll delete it right away!"
Although he helped fund the establishment of that school, Gerald did not find anything special in what he had done.
So he complied and deleted the photographs.
"Eh? Are you… Gerald?"
Surprisingly, he found himself being recognized by that woman. He turned around and saw a woman in a black uniform. Did she know him?
"Lilian, do you know him?"
There are two other women and a man beside Lilian. They now asked Lilian curiously.
