Chapter 29
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 29
After that, Gerald added the luxury private room that was worth more than two thousand five hundred dollars per head.
Those who could be in the luxurious private room were naturally the most popular students in the classroom—Danny, Xavia,
Yuri, Cassandra, Gerald and his roommates, and last but not least, Naomi.
The other students could only head to the other private room.
“Yuri, since we’re already in this super luxurious private room, who would place the order for food today?” Gerald asked as he
smiled at this time.
“Don’t you have any manners at all? Yuri is our guest today so it is only natural for him to order what he wants to eat first! Why?
Are you afraid that Yuri will order too much and you won’t be able to afford to pay for dinner tonight?” Xavia suddenly said in a
contemptuous manner.
Of course, Yuri had to order some food first. Otherwise, Xavia was afraid that Gerald would only order spicy and sour potato
shreds.
If that was really the case, then their plan to spend all of Gerald’s money would not work at all.
In fact, when they were in Yuri’s car on the way to the restaurant, they had already discussed this matter with Danny and the
other boys.
They were planning to make Gerald pay more than tens of thousands of dollars for the dinner tonight.
After that, they had to make sure that he spent an additional ten thousand dollars at least. They wanted Gerald to pay at least
twenty thousand dollars or more for the dinner tonight. Moreover, Yuri had already decided to combine forces and financial
resources with Danny to defeat Gerald tonight.
That would be more than enough!
“Alright then. Just order whatever you want to!” Gerald replied as he smiled bitterly.
Harper, who was sitting at the side, kept nudging Gerald to remind him of the situation but Gerald simply shook his head,
motioning for them not to worry about him because he knew what he was doing.
“Alright then, thank you!”
Yuri took the menu in his hand before he started looking at the menu from the last page.
After all, Homeland Kitchen’s signature dishes were all listed on the last few pages of the menu and these were the more
expensive dishes.
“The Australian big lobster! The Australian abalone!”
Danny and the rest of the boys observed the expression on Gerald’s face as Yuri continued ordering some of the signature
dishes. They wanted to see the anxious and tangled expression on his face.
However, Gerald was still indifferent and he showed no fear on his face at all.
Even though Yuri was ordering the food at this time, he was still calculating in his heart.
After all, he only had three thousand to four thousand dollars left for the month and Danny only had one thousand five hundred
dollars. That meant that they only had a total of five thousand five hundred dollars to splurge today.
In other words, they had to make sure that they did not spend more than ten thousand dollars today.
Otherwise they would really be embarrassed when they couldn’t afford to settle the bill.
Yuri ordered some of the famous signature dishes from the last few pages of the menu.
After doing the math, he realized that the four dishes that he ordered would already amount to four thousand five hundred
dollars, excluding the cost of wine and liquor.
After that, Yuri handed the menu over to Gerald with a cold expression on his face.
Even though he was going to spend a lot of money here today, he was more than willing to do so because he wanted Gerald to
spend all the money that he had here today. Otherwise, he would feel very uncomfortable.
“What? You only ordered four of the signature dishes from the last few pages of the menu? That would only cost around three
thousand dollars!”
Gerald laughed out loud at this time.
“What do you mean by that? You can pick more of the signature dishes if you want to. Anyway, you can never compare to Yuri
no matter what you do!”
Xavia was extremely dissatisfied when she saw Gerald mocking Yuri.
At this time, Cassandra, who was on her cell phone, could only shake her head slightly as she listened in on the conversation.
She thought that Gerald was really stupid. How could he possibly compare and compete with someone like Yuri when he only
had that small sum of money that he had won from the lottery?
“Waitress, how many signature dishes are there on the menu?” Gerald looked at the waitress as he smiled.
“Sir, there are a total of twenty signature dishes on the menu and all of these are the top dishes in Homeland Kitchen. Only the
wealthiest people can usually afford to order four of these signature dishes at one go! The price of these four dishes already
amount to around four to five thousand dollars. What ordinary dishes would you like to add on to your order?”
“Oh, so that is it?”
Gerald closed the menu immediately.
“Alright then, just bring us all twenty signature dishes from the menu. We will enjoy it slowly!”
“What?”
The waitress was shocked and she dropped her ordering machine on the floor.
The twenty dishes would probably cost more than fifteen thousand dollars!
Oh my god!
She had never served food like this before!
“Damn it! Gerald, are you insane? The price of these twenty signature dishes and the package will amount to at least twenty
thousand dollars!”
Danny was shocked.
Yuri also felt very nervous as he calculated the amount of money that he had on hand. Initially, he was just trying to play around
with Gerald so that he could humiliate him. However, he did not expect this reaction from Gerald at all.
Gerald could see the abnormal expression on Yuri’s face and he realized that he had been silent all this while. Gerald smiled
before he said, “Yuri, why don’t we order some drinks? Why aren’t you saying anything at all? ARe the dishes I’ve ordered too
expensive for you?”
“How could it possibly be too expensive for me? You can dream on! This is just a small sum of money to me. I’m just afraid that
you wouldn’t be able to pay for all the three tables downstairs with just thirty thousand dollars! I’m afraid that you’d embarrass all
of us here today,” Yuri retorted immediately.
Was a pauper who everyone looked down on actually ridiculing him at this time?
This was totally unacceptable!
“Yeah, Gerald do you even know what you’re doing now? Yuri might be splitting the bill with you for the luxurious private room
but you have to remember that you still have to foot the bill for the three tables that you’ve booked downstairs too! Although they
have not ordered any of the signature dishes, I’m sure they must have also ordered drinks for each table! That would definitely
cost you a few thousand dollars already!”
“Are you sure you’ll be able to pay for the dinner tonight or are you just trying to save face when you order all those items?
Remember that this is Homeland Kitchen on Mayberry Commercial Street!”
The girls who were close to Xavia were already worried at this time.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Moreover, I have Yuri here with me. Since Yuri has said it’s okay, we should order some
drinks too!”
Gerald turned around before he asked the waitress, “By the way, how old is the red wine that you serve here?”
“We have quite an extensive collection of red wines. The oldest red wine is from 1995 and it’s a bottle of luxury wine that costs
one thousand and five hundred dollars.”
The waitress immediately recommended Gerald the most expensive wine in the restaurant when she saw that Gerald was so
generous anyway.
Gerald could just reject the offer. After all, the dishes were already so expensive. Secondly, if Gerald did not want to reject the
offer, she would be able to earn more commission anyway.
One thousand five hundred dollars for a bottle of red wine?
When Danny and Yuri heard the price of the red wine, they broke out in cold sweat immediately. Even Cassandra and Xavia
were taken aback at this time.
“Gerald, I’m warning you that you’d better calculate and keep track of how much you can afford to pay for dinner tonight.
Otherwise, you might end up not having enough money to pay for the dinner tonight!”
Xavia was also feeling a little afraid because of the amount of money that they were spending tonight. She was really afraid that
Gerald would order another two bottles of red wine on impulse.
“Bring a box of that red wine here!”
Unexpectedly, Gerald placed the order for the red wine without any hesitation at all.
There were six bottles of red wine in a box.
Wouldn’t that amount to more than nine thousand dollars?
Oh my god!
