Chapter 311 Found So Many Actors
Willie hesitated for a moment, glanced around the restaurant, but didn't see James.
So he whispered to the bodyguard, "We're here for Mr. Smith today, no need to bother with these people!"
After saying this, Willie forcibly suppressed his anger and quietly waited at the restaurant entrance.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment but followed him.
Willie thought that maybe there were just too many people visiting James today, making The Hall Family a bit irritable, which is why they were treating him so poorly.
Although The Hall Family was nothing in front of Willie, James was different. Willie felt it was understandable for James to treat him this way.
So Willie didn't get angry, nor did he dare to, and could only stand quietly at the restaurant entrance waiting for James to arrive.
Willie hesitated for a moment, then turned to his bodyguard and said, "Take the birthday gift to Mr. Hall!"
"Mr. Reed, these people are treating you like this, and you still want to give them a gift? Why?" the bodyguard shouted, visibly agitated.
"You know the relationship between Mr. Hall and Mr. Smith. We're here to please Mr. Smith, so this gift is also for Mr. Smith. Do you understand?" Willie explained softly.
The bodyguard nodded silently. He didn't dare to go against Willie's wishes and could only take the birthday gift to Conrad.
But Conrad didn't even look at it and just tossed the gift box aside, making the bodyguard feel heartbroken.
The gift box contained a valuable porcelain worth millions of dollars, carefully selected by Willie!
But Conrad casually tossed it aside, which was really hard to understand.
'I didn't expect The Hall Family to be so arrogant now. But then again, their granddaughter marrying a big shot like Mr. Smith, it's understandable for them to be a bit arrogant!' Willie couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw Conrad casually discard the porcelain vase.
The banquet continued, and Willie and his bodyguard could only stand alone at the entrance waiting for James.
In the next half hour, a series of big shots from Riversong Province appeared in the restaurant.
"Solid Rock Investment Group, Mr. Stewart has arrived!"
"Oasis Wealth Fund, Mr. Morris has arrived!"
"Magnetic Field Capital, Mr. Cook has arrived!"
The receptionist's announcements were endless, and the names of these well-known figures echoed in the restaurant.
But in the end, these people ended up like Willie, being directly sent to the restaurant entrance by Conrad.
Most of these people were here for James, and not seeing him made them very unwilling to leave, so they stood quietly next to Willie, waiting.
Most of these people were well-known CEOs from Riversong Province, and they all knew each other, so they started chatting.
As for the guests present, most were locals from Willowbrook, and some were small business owners from out of town, who were not on the same level as Willie and the others, so no one could recognize these CEOs.
Who would have thought that these billion-dollar big shots would gather together to celebrate one person's birthday? If it were anyone other than Conrad, they would probably laugh in their sleep.
But at this moment, Conrad treated these people as actors invited by James, not only failing to entertain them properly but also making them wait at the restaurant entrance.
Probably only Conrad in the entire Riversong Province could do such a foolish thing.
Guests continued to arrive in the restaurant hall, all of them coming specifically for James.
In less than an hour, the restaurant was already packed with people.
And any one of these people was worth billions of dollars, far beyond what Conrad and his group could compare to.
The gifts these people prepared for Conrad were all tossed aside like trash by him.
You have to know that the combined value of these gifts was at least several billion dollars, more than the entire Hall Family's assets combined, but Conrad just casually threw them aside.
"I didn't expect James to hire so many actors just to show off at my grandfather's birthday banquet!" Dorian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the bustling crowd at the restaurant entrance.
"Yeah, I noticed their clothes are quite nice. James must have spent a lot of money hiring these people!" Nancy added.
"What a pity, James's efforts are all in vain now. Rufus saw right through it, and all that money was wasted!" Thalassa mocked.
"But wasn't James just trying to make my grandfather happy?" Nancy pouted, feeling a bit indignant.
"I don't see Conrad looking happy," Thalassa sneered.
"You!" Nancy glared at Thalassa but knew she couldn't win the argument, so she didn't continue.
"Willowbrook's Elmer Reed has arrived!"
At this moment, the receptionist suddenly shouted.
Conrad breathed a long sigh of relief and then whispered, "Finally, a real one has arrived!"
Elmer!
This name carried significant influence in Willowbrook, comparable to Charles's influence in Lumina City!
Willowbrook was once most famous for The Hall Family, but in recent years, as The Hall Family declined, the Hays Family gradually became the new leaders!
Elmer, even when facing the mayor of Lumina City, would interact as an equal, showing just how powerful the Hays Family had become.
However, compared to the big shots standing at the entrance, Elmer was still far behind.
But the guests in the hall didn't recognize Willie and the others; they only knew Elmer. So when they heard Elmer was coming, Conrad, Floyd, and the others all got up and walked to the entrance to greet him.
The big shots standing next to Willie looked puzzled when they saw this.
"Willie, what's going on with The Hall Family? You're such an important figure, and they let you wait at the entrance, but they make such a fuss over a small fry like Elmer. If I remember correctly, the Hays Family only got to where they are today because of their connection to you, right?" one of the CEOs next to Willie asked in a puzzled tone.
"Yeah, is The Hall Family out of their minds? Don't they know about your relationship with Elmer?" another CEO chimed in.
"Elmer isn't even qualified to carry Mr. Reed's shoes, and The Hall Family doesn't bother to please Mr. Reed but goes out of their way for Elmer. It's ridiculous!" Willie's bodyguard muttered with a frown.
Willie also frowned, looking very puzzled, as he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Initially, he thought The Hall Family was ignoring all these big shots because they had latched onto James and were being arrogant.
But now they were going out of their way to please a small fry like Elmer, which left Willie confused.
