I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 450
David brought everyone to Frangipani Restaurant and booked the entire place while also paying the bill for his high school reunion meal.
David, Celia, and Colby then sat with Cade and the other core officials in South River Province at another table.
Meanwhile, the members of the SCC split to sit across three tables.
As far as they were concerned, this trip to Shu City would have been worth it if they could just see David and leave an impression on him.
Seeing Mr. Nelson was beyond their expectations.
These officials were the most authoritative people in South River Province.
As expected of the man whose mere text had garnered the replies of two SCC bosses and the courtesy of South River Province’s cabinet minister. They could only imagine how powerful David was.
Not even all three SCC bosses could receive such treatment from Mr. Nelson, not when Cade was their elder.
Honestly, not even their fathers, people of a status lower than the three SCC bosses, would treat an ordinary youth with the same degree of respect Cade was giving David. This emphasized how powerful David must have been.
David and Cade chatted happily while they ate.
Celia was the only other calm person, as everyone else felt overly self-conscious.
After all, Cade was the cabinet minister of South River Province and David was a soon-to-be member of the Somerland Parliament. Both of their statuses were unreachable.
Cade did not feel too out of place as he was no stranger to meeting important people, but this was the first time the others had met a soon-to-be parliament member like David.
The other officials were not of a high enough standing to come into contact with members of parliament, as provincial cabinet ministers were already the most authoritative people they came across.
Therefore, they could only agree and smile while the other two conversed.
Celia felt proud as she watched David talk cheerfully with the others.
She did not care whether David was wealthy or poor, or whether the man was well known or not.
However, the more successful David became, the more it proved that her taste in men was
“We still don’t know anything. Just keep kneeling, they’ll come back eventually and we can decide what to do later once we know the truth.”
“Wait, so do we keep kneeling now?” “Obviously! What else do you want to do?”
immaculate. Naturally, she was also elated for David’s success, as it was every woman’s wish for her man to be a hero.
She truly wanted to thank Sarah for dumping David, thus giving her the chance to be with the man.
The most reserved man at the table was Colby.
As someone who was part of the lowest rung of society, Colby was immensely pressured to be suddenly sitting at the same table with the cabinet minister of South River Province. He did not know where to put his hands and did not even touch the dishes before him.
David did realize Colby’s awkwardness but there was nothing he could do. A few words of comfort would not change Colby’s behavior. What he needed was more exposure to situations like this.
Pearl was the best example of this.
She may have been the lobby manager of Golden Leaf Hotel, but she would surely panic if she had to sit and eat with Cade.
Now, after the training over the past few months, spending hundreds of billions and managing East League Capitals that had a net worth of more than a trillion dollars, Pearl had slowly learned to exude confidence and power.
She would be able to talk to everyone confidently if she sat here today.
After drinking with a few tables around them, David said, “Mr. Nelson, I still have a few classmates over there. I’ll be back shortly, so please enjoy the dishes.”
“Go ahead, Mr. Lidell! There’s no need to worry about us,” Cade said politely.
David brought Celia and Colby to the private room he had earlier eaten lunch it.
The ex-classmates were still as rowdy as ever..
They had no idea of the chaos that wrecked through Shu City over a short afternoon.
Everyone was terrified when Cade ordered a strict investigation into the incident with King Kong Jonah. They did not want to be dragged into the matter.
Everyone who had done business, commercial or illicit, with Eden and Milton immediately issued a statement distancing themselves from the former two.
This was the first time a few dozen families in South River Province had teamed up to attack. Any mishap now could lead to their complete destruction.
Everyone greeted David enthusiastically when they saw him.
“Mr. Lidell! Come sit, we’ve been waiting for you!”
“Mr. Lidell! You’re finally back! We’ve all been waiting!”
“Sorry, guys, something came up today! I actually came here to apologize, I don’t think I’ll be able to eat with you guys tonight. Have fun, though! And make sure to contact me if you ever go to River City. Come, I’ll have a toast to all of you,” David said as he raised a wine glass.
