Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 737: Chapter 736 Friends

Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong had not expected Richard’s arrival either.

Just moments ago, Wang Xiaocong was planning to call Richard so he could prove something to the likes of Harriman, as a way to metaphorically slap their faces.

Now, with Richard’s sudden appearance, that was even better.

The feeling of humiliation in person was much more thrilling.

Richard approached with a smile on his face as refreshing as the spring breeze, as if he weren’t a super-rich tycoon, but the uncle next door.

“Mr. Richard, I truly didn’t expect to meet you here. To see you is the greatest honor of my life. I often educate my children to take you as their role model, to learn from you. Even if achieving one ten-thousandth of your success is already a blessing,” Bright exclaimed excitedly, not caring about his image, and hurried over to Richard, his words flying with spittle.

...

He used his children again to convey respect, as if it were the most sincere form of admiration.

Just earlier with Harriman, he had said he often taught his children to learn from Harriman, to be morally upstanding individuals.

And here it was again.

The spectators who saw this were exasperated.

The people surrounding Richard saw Bright, who had grown as fat as a pig, rushing over and quickly stepped in front of him to block his path.

Fortunately, they stopped Bright in time, otherwise the spit flying from Bright’s mouth would surely have splashed onto Richard’s face.

One couldn’t blame Bright, for he was simply too excited, and such a display was quite normal.

Harriman was a popular singer, with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars.

In his eyes, such a person was quite impressive.

But compared to Richard, Harriman was nothing.

If Harriman was a big fish in the river, then he was a small fish in a brook.

While Harriman’s boss might be a shark in the ocean, Richard was the supreme overlord of the sea, an existence like the Dragon King of the depths.

The difference in status between him and Richard was simply colossal.

In the capital-centered ‘Pretty Country,’ it was unsurprising that Bright would show such subservience.

Richard just smiled faintly: “Hello.”

Hearing Richard speaking to him so gently, Bright grew even more excited.

His face flushed with exhilaration, he found himself speechless.

At that moment, Richard turned to Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, giving them a smile.

They responded with smiles of their own.

Seeing this, Harriman’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong really were business partners with Richard?

If that was the case, then things were truly troublesome.

Richard was a major shareholder of the Burton Consortium and ranked first among its shareholders.

The other shareholders of the Burton Consortium generally approved of Richard’s decisions.

This was something that could be seen in Business Weekly.

The Burton Consortium was one of the top ten consortiums of the Pretty Country, making Richard a real top-notch big shot there.

What frightened him even more was that Richard, a figure of such standing, was bestowing smiles on Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, and they were returning them.

This implied more than a mere business partnership.

It also indicated that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, or their forebears, were of the same class as Richard.

Harriman had offended two such individuals, and neither his boss nor his service client Catherine could save him now.

After all, Catherine’s net worth was only a few billion dollars.

She couldn’t compare to Richard.

Richard could crush Catherine with just the flick of a finger.

And if he wanted to eliminate Harriman, perhaps just a breath would suffice.

The more Harriman thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Besides feeling alarm, he was also furious.

Damn it, who exactly were these two guys?

Weren’t they just people from Hua Xia? Since when did Hua Xia have people who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Richard?

And yet, both of them were so young.

With Harriman’s superficial understanding of Hua Xia, he couldn’t wrap his head around this matter.

Richard turned to the police chief in front of him, his expression becoming stern, “Chief Bright, why are your men pointing guns at my friends? Can you explain this to me?”

“What!” exclaimed Bright in shock, glancing at Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, then back to Richard, “Mr. Richard, these two Hua Xia citizens are your friends? But they just said that they have no friends in the Proud Nation; they said you are their business partner, which we found somewhat hard to believe.”

Richard replied with a bitter smile, “It seems they don’t consider me a friend yet, only a business partner. I believe we will become friends eventually. To become friends with them would be an honor for me.”

He was mainly interested in becoming friends with Xu Yang, and Wang Xiaocong was included by association.

He was also very familiar with Xu Yang’s growth story.

He felt that, barring any accidents, Xu Yang would definitely reach the pinnacle of the world someday.

Indeed, it was an honor to become friends with someone like him.

Even if it wasn’t an honor now, it would be in the future.

Richard’s words left everyone shocked once more.

From what Richard said, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong did not yet consider him a friend, only a business partner.

And yet, Richard was eagerly pursuing their friendship.

“My God, who exactly are these two Asiatic people?”

“They must be descendants of some major figure in Hua Xia. I’ve heard there are many powerful families there; we simply don’t know about them.”

“Originally, I thought these two were just brave. Now, it seems they are extremely confident.”

“Right, if even Richard wants to be friends with them, of course they wouldn’t take Harriman seriously.”

“Now, Harriman has really kicked an iron plate.”

“Hehe, Harriman is usually arrogant and overbearing, bullying common people who can’t do anything to him. Well, now he’s got what he deserved, kicking the iron plate.”

“I bet Harriman is going to have a terrible outcome.”

“Hahaha, that’s right, he deserves to suffer. I’ve always disliked his attitude.”

…

Hearing these murmured discussions, Harriman’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He instinctively looked at Catherine, noticing that the color had drained from her face as well.

Catherine’s reaction was quite normal.

She had just said that she wanted to severely teach Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong a lesson.

Now, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were Richard’s business associates and friends.

Could her end be any better?

With Richard angered, he could easily make her go bankrupt.

All that she possessed would come to nothing.

Supporting a young man like Harriman would become an unattainable dream.

Bright, upon hearing Richard’s words, snapped back to reality and fiercely turned to his subordinates: “What are you standing around for? Put away your guns immediately! These two Hua Xia men are Mr. Richard’s friends, and you dare to point guns at them. Who gave you the gall? If Mr. Richard weren’t here, I would teach you a lesson so severe that it’d stain Mr. Richard’s eyes! I’d make sure you regretted it!”

A scolding filled with righteous indignation.

The speed at which he changed his tune could only be compared to flipping through a book.

The team members exchanged looks, muttering under their breath.

Damn it, if it wasn’t for your order, we wouldn’t have pointed our guns at these two Hua Xia citizens.

Now, lo and behold, with Mr. Richard here and declaring Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong as friends, you’ve switched faces and placed the blame on us.

But they also knew.

Bright, fat as a pig and not too competent in his duties, nonetheless managed to maintain his position as chief through his quick change of faces.

He knew when to say what in front of whom, without the slightest embarrassment, completely ignoring the gazes of others, his skin thicker than the walls of the Empire State Building.

In this one aspect, none of their team could match him.

s Such a man was born to be chief.

Hence, they dared not say more and promptly holstered their firearms.

The tense atmosphere at the scene began to ease considerably.
