The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 492: Take It Slow

To prove whether Jordan Yorke is a fraud, just check if this watch is genuine, and ask my cousin if Jordan Yorke really works at that company.

If he does, then Jordan Yorke is definitely connected to that company; perhaps that company belongs to Jordan Yorke’s family.

When the call went through, Renee’s cousin was surprised to find out she was asking about Jordan Yorke.

"Renee, do you know Jordan Yorke?"

Renee didn’t answer; instead she asked, "Cousin, do you know Jordan Yorke too? What kind of person is he?"

Renee’s cousin originally didn’t know who Jordan Yorke was, but she was the mistress of the manager in Jordan Yorke’s department.

When Jordan Yorke came for an interview, dressed head to toe in designer labels, she noticed, although those labels on him looked somewhat out of place, like a nouveau riche.

But in this era, as long as you have money, who cares if you’re nouveau riche.

Later, seeing Jordan Yorke easily get into the company, she was curious and thought he might have a background.

If he really has a background, of course, she would try to win him over, not offend him.

So she subtly asked the manager.

The manager didn’t say much, only mentioning that Jordan Yorke was introduced by someone influential, had strong connections, and not to give him too much work normally, just to flatter him.

This way, Jordan Yorke didn’t seem like a mere nouveau riche.

This isn’t an ordinary company but one of the top few in the country, how could a general nouveau riche get directives from above to be treated well?

So she figured Jordan Yorke must be some wealthy... illegitimate son.

This explained all the actions that didn’t match his identity.

Even if he’s an illegitimate son, as long as the family has money, there’s a great future for him.

Now the country’s laws clearly state that even illegitimate children can inherit property.

The cousin shared this with Renee, and now Renee completely believed Jordan Yorke really was a second-generation rich kid.

Even if he might be illegitimate, she didn’t mind; perhaps with effort, they could topple the legitimate wife and son to inherit all Jordan Yorke’s real father’s assets.

Then the cousin asked what kind of relationship Renee had with Jordan Yorke.

Renee said, "Nothing special, just an ordinary friend."

The cousin didn’t believe this, laughed, and asked, "Really just ordinary friends? Renee, come on, why lie to your cousin? Could I steal your man?"

Renee rolled her eyes, knowing this cousin wasn’t peaceable, having even snatched her friend’s boyfriend before, now acting as a mistress, as if nobody knows.

But she quickly thought, her cousin could act as a mistress for the rich, now knowing Jordan Yorke is a rich kid and working in the same company, might shamelessly seduce him, she must prevent this from happening.

"Cousin, actually Jordan Yorke is my boyfriend, we’re dating now, and will soon get married."

The cousin chuckled, saying, "That’s why I said you must have a relationship. How did you know him? Now you’re dating, let me advise you: seize the chance to hold onto him tightly. I haven’t dug into his background completely, but seeing him get into this company, wearing those high-end clothes, his family must be extraordinary. Secure him, and you’ll enjoy wealth for the rest of your life."

Renee was wary of her, yet unaware her cousin actually didn’t fancy Jordan Yorke at all.

Though she liked rich men, the other party must at least pass a decent appearance check, shouldn’t lower her aesthetic standards.

If she truly wanted to marry, she would opt for someone handsome and rich, but under no circumstances would she consider someone like Jordan Yorke.

Feeling assured as even her cousin said that, it seemed Jordan Yorke’s identity couldn’t be faked.

Her luck was too good; she randomly met someone, and he turned out to be a rich heir.

Thinking of the good life ahead, she couldn’t help but smile.

"Cousin, when we get married, you’ll definitely be invited, then I’ll have Jordan introduce you to a boyfriend who won’t be worse than Jordan."

Given this promise, her cousin shouldn’t risk falling out with her to seduce Jordan Yorke, right?

But she still wasn’t relieved, thinking she must warn Jordan Yorke later to stay away from her cousin.

The next day, Jordan Yorke officially went to work, full of vigor, ready to showcase his talent and ambitions in the company.

With money, he could marry Renee, and use it to repay Penelope Thatcher.

He was filled with hope for his bright future.

However, Jordan Yorke quickly encountered setbacks.

In this large company, the employees hired had at least a bachelor’s degree and were experts in their field.

But Jordan Yorke only graduated from middle school, didn’t self-study, and suddenly found himself in such a big company, feeling out of place everywhere. He didn’t surf the internet often, and sometimes didn’t understand his colleagues’ words, feeling as if he came from a completely different world.

He couldn’t understand the documents others easily glanced through, and there were even some characters he didn’t recognize.

This huge gap left Jordan Yorke feeling defeated, without considering the need to hurry up and learn to enrich himself.

Company employees soon realized Jordan Yorke couldn’t understand things even if they were quite straightforward.

Initially, they were instructed by the manager not to assign complicated tasks to Jordan Yorke.

Knowing he had backing, they naturally gave Jordan Yorke the easiest tasks.

Who knew, even the easiest tasks became the hardest for Jordan Yorke.

Seemed he truly was a useless person. Although they looked down on such useless people, what could they do? He had backing they couldn’t afford to offend.

They inadvertently had to flatter him instead of showing disdain.

Therefore, for the next period, employees nearly stopped letting Jordan Yorke do anything, occasionally flattering him, claiming that Jordan Yorke was leadership material, these jobs weren’t suitable for him.

When someone said this, Jordan Yorke didn’t believe it, yet when everyone did, he lived amidst constant flattery.

Gradually, Jordan Yorke genuinely believed, thinking he didn’t get these things not due to lack of ability but because these things weren’t meant for a born leader like him to comprehend. Since so, he didn’t need self-pity, but devise a way to make management realize a small clerk role for him was a waste of talent, that a higher position matched his abilities.

He even thought of mentioning to Penelope Thatcher, letting her arrange for him to manage the company, as that work suited him best.

However, he hadn’t had the chance to meet Penelope Thatcher, her calls often went unanswered too.

When Renee met with Jordan Yorke, she asked about his situation at the company.

He said, "Oh, it’s fine, just those tasks are for ordinary clerks, totally unsuitable for me."

Renee smiled and comforted him, thinking Jordan Yorke used to be a leader in his own company, suddenly becoming a small clerk, must have felt things were too simple, no challenge for him.

"No worries, Jordan, let’s take our time."
