Chapter 6: The Man at the Top of the Pyramid
As time went by, the summer vacation was coming. In this month, the name of
Wayne Gilbert seemed to disappear in my life.
During the summer vacation, I was busy with paying the rent and earning the
college expenses for the next semester.
Now it was a society in which either the beautiful appearance or growing up in a
rich family was advantageous. Fortunately, I was good-looking so that my
appearance could give others a deep and wonderful impression even without
cosmetic surgery. This beautiful face had really helped me a lot. At least, it could
make my job hunting go smoothly.
At present, I was in charge of receiving customers who went to the store to
customize clothes by themselves in a upmarket private men's clothing shop. After
living a life for so many years at the bottom of the society, what I learned most
was to talk to others in the appropriate way and in the proper time and place. I
would try my best to please the rich people by talking about what they liked and
never mentioning what they disliked. After half a month, my basic sales
performance was equal to the our group leader's.
Another week passed.
After lunch, I was idly leafed through business magazines in the shop.
Suddenly turning over a page, I was absorbed by the content of the whole page.
On the page, the picture of a man in a suit and leather shoes occupied half of the
space. The five sense organs were so delicate as if they were carved. Below a
pair of dashing eyebrows were the dark and deep eyes. He had a tall nose and it
could be guessed that he was cool and grim from his thin lips. Even if it was just
a photograph, it was unquestionable that the man was elegant and charming.
On the other side of the page, the huge black headline "Wayne Gilbert spent a
billion dollars hiring the top design team in the world to start the new real estate
Jiurun Minting".
Next to it was a very luxurious 3D model of the villa!
I was shocked by the amount. I knew Wayne Gilbert was rich, but I never
imagined he would be so rich.
I put down my magazine and typed "Wayne Gilbert" in the search engine on my
mobile phone.
Soon, a large amount of information popped up and his Baidu Encyclopedia had
been built on the Internet. I looked it through and found that the introduction
about him was very detailed. He started from scratch and led the Wayne Group
he established on himself be listed in the United States at the age of 26. Only five
years later, the Wayne Group monopolized the entire real estate, hotel and
entertainment industry in Liang city. As the CEO of the Wayne Group, his name,
Wayne Gilbert was more and more popular in the business district.
But what caught my attention was the following slogan "the love story analysis of
Wayne Gilbert, a 31-year-old golden bachelor and the big shot in real estate
industry.
When I was going to click in to read more, suddenly there were footsteps coming.
I immediately put away my cell phone and raised my head with a professional
smile, "Welcome to..."
Because of the angle of view, I could only see a man and a woman. The man
was slender and proportionally symmetrical. Seen from his figure, he must be a
successful man. And the woman in a silk dress, carried a Hermes bag and
gracefully stood beside the man.
I immediately greeted them, thinking that if I made another list today, the bonus in
this month would be considerable.
"What do you need, sir?"
The man turned around, but when I saw his face, my smile froze on his face.
For a moment, I thought I had hallucinated. Why did I meet Wayne Gilbert in
such a place? Later, I realized that this shop was the most famous upmarket
customized clothes shop in Liang city in which any one cloth was worth tens of
thousands dollars. So It was not surprising that rich people like Wayne Gilbert
would come here.
But the woman next to him might be his girlfriend.
Wayne Gilbert squinted, "Why are you here?"
Originally, I wanted to pretend that I didn't know him. But when he asked this
question, I really didn't know how to respond. Looking at the tall and thin woman
beside him, I said, "Uncle Wayne, I'm observing and learning from real life here."
Wayne Gilbert raised his eyebrows and I couldn't find any emotional change in
his eyes.
"Uncle Wayne?" The woman looked up and down at me, "Why don't I remember
that I still have such a niece?"
Niece!!
I looked at Wayne Gilbert in surprise. It turned out that this woman was not his
girlfriend, but Katherine Gilbert's aunt and Wayne Gilbert's younger sister,
Simona Gilbert. I blushed instantly and was quite embarrassed.
I didn't know why I was so unconfident in front of Wayne Gilbert. Just like a
shrinking tortoise, once I saw him, I wanted to retreat into the "shell". I lost the
courage at that time when I was drunk and seduced him and then slept with him.
"Customize a suit for me."
After Wayne Gilbert finished speaking, Simona Gilbert continued, "Brother, the
suit should be red. My engagement must be jubilant."
Red!!
I immediately imagined Wayne Gilbert's look wearing a red suit, which was
simply unbelievable!
