Chapter 736: Chapter 735 Richard Arrives
“Boss, it’s me, Harriman.”
Harriman seemed even more aggrieved.
It was bad enough Bright didn’t recognize him, but even his own boss couldn’t recognize him.
You should know that Catherine was not only his boss but also his client.
He was supposed to sleep with Catherine.
It was because he had pleased Catherine so well that she promoted him.
...
Otherwise, with his qualifications, he wouldn’t have stood a chance.
“You’re Harriman? How did you end up like this?” Harriman’s face was full of shock.
When he had spoken to Catherine on the phone earlier, Harriman had told her that he was beaten.
She hadn’t taken it too seriously, thinking it was no big deal.
Even if he was beaten, it wouldn’t have affected anything significant, not enough to affect their night of tumultuous passion.
Of course, she was genuinely angry.
Harriman was the man she kept.
As the saying goes, you look at the master before hitting the dog, let alone a man.
Her man being beaten was like a slap to her own face.
She came here to take revenge for Harriman.
But she never expected Harriman to be beaten to such an extent.
This appearance, I’m afraid even Harriman’s mother wouldn’t recognize him without looking closely.
“Boss, I was beaten by these two Huaxia people!” Harriman pointed at Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
“You’ve got some nerve, daring to hit an artist from our company. I will make sure you pay a heavy price!”
Catherine’s face was filled with killing intent, as if she wanted to tear Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong to pieces then and there.
“Boss, Chief Bright has already decided to arrest them!” Harriman said.
“Very good.” Catherine looked at Bright, whom she recognized, “Chief Bright, you’ve done a great job. Not only did you protect Harriman, but you also upheld the law and justice. I will mention this to your city bureau chief when I see him.”
“Thank you, Ms. Catherine,” Bright said joyfully, his face a picture of righteous indignation, “This is my duty. As a police officer, I am supposed to uphold the law and justice!”
Catherine nodded, “Then take them away. My lawyer will go to your precinct and follow up on this matter throughout.”
Bright was about to nod and signal his subordinates to arrest Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
Then he remembered what Wang Xiaocong had just said about having a partner in the Beautiful Country.
Although he did not think the partners of Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong in the Beautiful Country were anything to brag about, he felt he should clear it up.
So, he turned to Wang Xiaocong and asked, “You just mentioned that you have a partner in the Beautiful Country, so please tell us, who is your partner?”
Before Wang Xiaocong could speak, Harriman snorted with laughter, “What kind of partner could they have? I bet it’s just some Chinese restaurant on the street, hahahaha!”
Catherine was also full of disdain.
She knew why Bright asked this, which was to clarify Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong’s background.
Like Harriman, she didn’t think these two had any impressive partners.
She also shared Harriman’s disdain for Asians.
Although she was not as bad as Harriman, it was nearly the same.
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were just two young men, with perhaps a little family money.
In the Beautiful Country, they were nothing.
Wang Xiaocong glanced at Harriman and said indifferently, “Our partner is Mr. Richard of Burton Consortium.”
Upon this remark, everyone was shocked.
Moments later, laughter filled the room.
“Damn, this guy actually claims their partner is Mr. Richard of the Burton Consortium; must be out of his mind.”
“Who is Mr. Richard to partner with them?”
“I’m certain they’re spouting nonsense; probably saw Mr. Richard on the news and thought to use his name to scare people.”
“What idiots, at least make up someone believable.”
“Thinking they can intimidate Harriman and the rest with Mr. Richard’s name is impossible.”
“Originally, I admired them for standing up for Asians, but now that this guy is lying, I think they deserve to be caught.”
“It’s just absurd, practically asking for death.”
…
Nobody believes that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong’s business partner is Richard.
Who is Richard?
He’s the famous major shareholder of the Burton Consortium. Even in the entirety of America, he is a true big shot.
What could Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong possibly have to do with such a big shot?
Without a doubt, everyone treated Wang Xiaocong’s words as lies.
“Hahahaha!” Harriman laughed mockingly, “This is just too funny. You’re actually saying that Mr. Richard of the Burton Consortium is your business partner? Why don’t you say that the world’s richest man, Musk, is your partner?!”
Catherine also shook her head with a smile.
In her view, Wang Xiaocong was just spouting nonsense.
To think, even she couldn’t become partners with someone like Richard.
She didn’t even have the opportunity to meet Richard.
Not to mention Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, these two young men from China.
Bright was speechless too.
If Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong mentioned some average business person, he might have believed it.
But Richard? He really couldn’t believe that.
Richard was simply too high-profile, unreachably so. He didn’t believe that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong had what it takes to be Richard’s partners.
Bright shook his head and said, “I was willing to give you all a chance, but it seems you didn’t cherish the opportunity I offered. I’m sorry, but please come back with me for an investigation without resisting, or else I have the right to shoot you on the spot!”
Wang Xiaocong shook his head and sighed, “I’m telling the truth. Why don’t you believe me?”
Harriman laughed loudly, “You, a Chinese man, what makes you think you’re worthy of being Mr. Richard’s business partner? It’s going to kill me from laughter. If you’re Richard’s partner, then I’m Richard’s father!”
Wang Xiaocong’s eyebrows lifted as he replied, “That’s what you’re saying. Next time I see Richard, I will mention this to him; I wonder what he will think.”
Harriman cursed, “You’re still putting on an act, talking about seeing Richard next time. Do you think you can even meet him? Someone like you could never in your life meet Mr. Richard.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion from behind.
Everyone looked in the direction of the commotion.
They saw a middle-aged man walking over with several people.
That middle-aged man was indeed Mr. Richard.
Seeing Richard, Harriman thought he was seeing things.
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes, only to realize that it indeed was Mr. Richard.
He pinched his thigh, feeling a sharp pain.
This had become a habit for him. Whenever he saw something unbelievable, he would rub his eyes and pinch his thigh.
Just like earlier, when he saw Xu Yang take down all his security personnel with ease.
This time, he was thoroughly convinced that the man before him was Mr. Richard.
Richard was sixty-five years old.
“My God, it’s really Mr. Richard!”
“Mr. Richard is here? Could it be that what the Chinese man said was true?”
“Richard is a super-wealthy man in our glorious country. Although not as famous as Buffett, Musk, Bezos, he is undoubtedly a top-tier personage.”
“I never imagined I’d see Mr. Richard here.”
“It’s said that Richard is sixty-five, but he looks so young, not at all like an old man. He appears to be just a middle-aged man around fifty. I really don’t know how he does it.”
“Life’s good when you eat delicious food and focus on a healthy diet, that’s how it’s possible.”
“The key is having money. If you had the money like him, you’d be able to do it as well.”
The crowd was extremely excited.
Seeing a titan like Richard on the street was something very difficult to come by, even harder than encountering a classy movie star.
Having this chance to see him was truly a stroke of luck.
What do you think?
