Jordan smiled faintly and tapped on the video call.
An old man who had pa.s.sed his prime immediately appeared on the phone screen.
“Hey, Mr A!”
!!
Jordan greeted the old man on the other end of the video call.
A was the initial of his last name, which was how Jordan had been addressing him.
“Jordan, it’s been a while since we met. I’m sorry, I fell asleep just now, and I did not have time to answer your video call.”
Arnault said with a guilty expression.
Jordan said politely, “It’s okay. I called too late and disturbed your rest.”
“Come on, don’t say that. You don’t know how much I miss you, brat! Haha.”
“Haha, I miss you too. Oh yes, allow me to introduce you, my girlfriend, Victoria Clarke.”
Jordan noticed that Victoria had also entered the frame and knew that she was also eager to meet this big boss of the luxury goods industry.
Hence, he took the opportunity to introduce the two to each other.
“Oh, h.e.l.lo Victoria, you’re such a pretty lady. Jordan adores beautiful women, just like I do, haha!”
Arnault laughed gleefully, delighted to see Jordan’s girlfriend.
Victoria was incredibly excited. The man in the video call was the father of the world of luxury goods!
Months ago, he was the richest man in the world!
“h.e.l.lo, I’m delighted to meet you. Oh my G.o.d, I’m so excited. You’ve always been my idol!”
Victoria was getting a little incoherent because she was excited and nervous.
Stella and Jesse couldn’t see Jordan’s phone screen because they were sitting across from them.
At this moment, both of them looked at each other curiously and wondered, ‘Could it be that the person in the video call is really the boss of LV?’
“I don’t believe it! If it’s really Arnault, I’ll eat the plate on the spot!”
Jesse got up from his seat and walked over to Jordan’s side. Upon seeing the old man on the phone screen, his legs went limp on the spot, and fell to his knees.
“Oh my G.o.d… It really is the boss of LV…”
“OMG, my idol! Idol! Idol, I love you!”
As the owner of a well-known cosmetic brand, Stella could recognize the luxury goods magnate immediately.
She was so excited and awestruck that she could hardly control herself as she exclaimed at him immediately.
Stella wanted to take this opportunity to introduce her lipsticks, and it would really be glorious if she could establish cooperation with those luxury brands!
However, just as Stella was about to grab Jordan’s phone, Jordan moved it away to deprive her of the chance of doing so.
“You…” Stella was a little angry.
Jordan ignored her and continued with the video call with Arnault. “Mr. A, let me ask you a question, what is the brand of this bag?”
Jordan pointed the camera at Jesse’s LV gents’ bag.
Jesse was excited beyond words. “Oh my G.o.d, the boss of LV is looking at my bag! I’m so honored!”
However, he felt that Jordan’s question was foolish because how could the helmsman of LV not recognize a bag under his own brand?
‘Good, since he’s not convinced by the Wikipedia information, let the boss of LV personally shame him in the face!’
However, to his surprise, Arnault said, “Apple.”
The three of them, including Victoria, all froze in shock.
‘Apple?’
‘Why would he say Apple? This is clearly an LV bag!’
“Haha, you still remember.”
Jordan said with a smile.
“That’s for sure. I’ll remember your stubbornness forever.”
The conversation between the two of them was confusing.
Afterwards, they chatted a while more, and Jordan hung up.
After that, Jordan asked Jesse, “So? I told you the brand of your bag is Apple, didn’t I? You can say I don’t understand fas.h.i.+on, but do you think the owner of LV doesn’t understand it either?”
Jesse was about to burst into tears of anger because it was clearly an LV bag.
However, he never thought that he would one day have to be shamed for saying the right brand and having to stomach such unfairness!
How could he refuse it?
The owner of LV had personally said that the brand was Apple!
“You’ve got some nerve!”
Jesse wolfed down the appetizer furiously.
At this moment, Stella’s att.i.tude towards Jordan changed drastically!
Instead of returning to her seat to eat, she half-crouched next to Jordan.
She asked in an extremely humble manner, “Jordan, Mr. Steele, you’re so mysterious. You actually have such a close relations.h.i.+p with a luxury goods magnate.”
“He was already fast asleep, and yet, he still made an effort to return the call personally. It seems that you matter a lot to him.”
Jordan did not look at her and had already picked up his fork and knife to have some appetizer.
Stella continued to maintain a humble att.i.tude. “I heard from Victoria that you want to work in New York City. Would you be willing to join our company? I’ll let you take on the position of deputy president! You and Victoria will both be the deputy presidents of our company. I’m sure you’d make great partners.”
“Of course, I also hope that with your relations.h.i.+p with Mr. A, we will be able to establish a cooperation with their brand.”
As Jordan knew what Stella meant, he refuted outright, “I’m sorry, but I used to be a takeout delivery man in Orlando, and I intend to be a courier company in New York City.” Your company isn’t suitable for me.”
“Uh…”
Stella stood at the side with a look of embarra.s.sment.
Victoria got up, held onto Stella’s arm, and said, “Stella, sit down and eat. Let’s discuss this slowly another time, okay?”
Stella smiled and said, “Sure, sure, anyway, Victoria, you’re the deputy president, and Jordan is your boyfriend. He definitely won’t ignore your offer. I’ll leave it to you to establish cooperation with LV. Haha!”
Victoria shook her head helplessly. She knew that Jordan was no longer part of the Steele family and thought Arnault was probably still so friendly and cordial towards him because he wasn’t aware of it yet.
However, no matter what, Victoria would be dedicating a lot of her time to Stella Cosmetics next.
Victoria handed Stella a bank card and said, “Stella, here’s $10 million. Take it as an investment from me.”
Stella didn’t turn her down. After all, it was a purchase of shares and not a gift.
Stella took it very readily and laughed as she said, “Welcome onboard Stella Cosmetics as a shareholder. We’re definitely going to make excellent partners. Haha!”
“Come on, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Jordan grabbed a gla.s.s of water and said, “I have to drive later, and I’ll be viewing some apartments with Victoria, so I shall toast with water instead. I wish you all the best.”
“Thank you, Mr. Steele!”
After Stella learned about Jordan’s connections, she didn’t care whether Jordan was drinking water or wine.
Jesse also didn’t dare to provoke Jordan anymore.
After the meal, Stella and Jesse left. Stella initially insisted on staying to accompany them to view the apartments.
However, Victoria knew that she was swamped and would take a long time viewing several places. Thus, she didn’t want to take up much of her time.
After the two left, Victoria held Jordan’s arm and said, “Darling, what kind of house do you want to live in? An apartment or a villa? Take your pick. I’ll pay for it!”
