Chapter 430 I''m The Boss Of The Entertainment Industry!
As they were talking, another boy entered the room, d in white and carrying a birthday cake in
hand.
"May I ask who is Mr. Colton Henley?" the boy asked.
Colton said, "I am."
The boy maneuvered over and handed the cake he was carrying to Colton. "Mr. Miller, this is the
birthday cake you ordered from our store."
Pindrop silence ensued, and only then did Colton believe that the luxurious 1.5-meter high cake
was really ordered by Lauren''s husband!
Besides, the cake that he ordered was not even one-fifth of the height of the cake! How could he
not feel embarrassed! The birthday cake he ordered was nothingpared to Jordan!
Meanwhile, Jordan did not continue to embarrass Colton. He didn''t know Lauren''s ssmates at all.
However, since Lauren was willing toe to the ssmates'' reunion, it meant that she still had a
good rtionship with this group of ssmates. Otherwise, given Lauren''s family background, how
could she possibly attend the ssmates'' reunion?
Nowadays, ssmates'' reunions were basically meaningless and only initiated by those who were
doing rtively well. The purpose of the gathering was to either show off or to find out where their
ssmates were working, in case they could use each other in the future.
Jordan didn''t want to disturb Lauren''s gathering and was just there to give her a surprise. Since he
had already delivered the surprise, Jordan said, "Honey, go ahead with your gathering. I''ll head off
first."
The reason he did not stay was because the ssmates'' gathering was his wife''s private event and
there were lots of male ssmates there. If Jordan stayed, it would look like he didn''t trust his wife
and had to keep a close eye on her.
He did not want to give Lauren that kind of feeling again. He wanted to tell Lauren that he trusted
herpletely.

However, seeing that Jordan was about to leave, Colton interjected, "Since Lauren''s husband is
here, why don''t we all sit down and have a meal together. Don''t go."
Likewise, her female ssmates quickly asked him to stay behind. "Yeah,e join us. We don''t
have many people here anyway. There are still lots of empty seats here."
Jordan looked at Lauren in a bid to ask for her opinion.
Since Lauren didn''t object, Jordan said, "Okay, I''ll pour Lauren some wine then."
Lauren smiled and a few of them returned to their seats. Colton sat in the middle, clearly the most
domineering one.
After sitting down, Lauren introduced each person to Jordan one at a time, and when it came to
Colton, he deliberately pointed out his identity as the ss president, as well as his father''s job and
position as a government official.
Jordan could also tell that Colton had the best career among all of them, and was also the one who
liked bragging the most.
After being introduced to each other, Colton suddenly asked Jordan, "Dude, which unit do you work
in?"
A male ssmateughed and said, "Colton, you shouldn''t rub salt in others'' wounds. Didn''t Lauren
just say that her husband is jobless?"
With a look of embarrassment, Lauren said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, my husband and I don''t have
any proper jobs, unlike you guys who work in big corporations who hold high statuses and great
power."
Colton immediately put down his cutlery and said, "Lauren, that''s not right. You and your husband
are different. Everyone in DC knows that as long as Lauren wants to work, she can enter any unit
she wants. All it takes is one word. But your husband seems to be... It''s okay, Jordan, you seem to
y the piano very well and your voice is nice too. How about I get you a job at the bar as a singer?
A hundred bucks a night for singing a few songs from eight to eleven at night. It''s not tiring either."
A male ssmateughed and said, "Yeah, you can make three grand a month. That sounds like
quite a good job."
Colton alsoughed and said, "I should help a ssmate out."
Jordan could tell that Colton, the ss president, was deliberately making him feel embarrassed.
In all honesty, Jordan couldn''t be bothered to go to work. Even if he really couldn''t find a job, the
Howards would still be able to give him an allowance of at least three grand a month.
Colton said, "We all know that the Howards are rich. You don''tck those few thousands of dors
but as a man, I still think you cane out to make money on your own. What''s wrong with using a
woman, right?"
Another male ssmate said, "Brother, although you are Lauren''s live-in husband, we and Lauren
have been former ssmates for years. If you face any difficulty, you can tell us directly."
"These hypocritical guys..."
Jordan was extremely displeased. Lauren''s female ssmates were not too bad but her male
ssmates who seemed to treat Jordan well on the surface were in fact taking every chance to
insult him.
They kept mentioning the fact that Jordan was a live-in husband.
If it were any other ce and asion, this gang would have long been thrown out by Salvatore
and the others. However, it was his wife''s birthday and also the day of her reunion with her
ssmates. Jordan didn''t want to mess up again.
Besides, he suddenly remembered that the most important thing to do now was toplete his
business trial!
Indeed, he wanted to have a high status in the country and the industry he chose was the
entertainment industry!
Hence, Jordan looked at Colton and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Actually, I have some
formal business to attend to."
Lauren held onto Jordan''s hand below the table before shaking her head at him. She thought that
Jordan must be wanting to say that he was working as a security officer or a courier delivery or a
takeout deliverer.
The Steeles were rich and had always felt that all jobs were equal. There was nothing wrong with
admitting to that. However, Lauren did not want Jordan to tell her ssmates that he was working
as a security officer or some other lowly job.
The ssmates had always treated Lauren as a goddess who was put on the pedestal and once
they knew that Lauren married a man that was inferior to them, they wouldn''t be able to take it.
"Don''t..."
Lauren looked at Jordan.
Jordan could already tell what Lauren meant by stopping him.
"Hah, Honey, do you think I was going to say I''m a security officer or a courier deliverer? Don''t
worry, your husband is not going to embarrass you in front of your ssmates!"
However, Jordan spoke up and said to everyone, "I''m in the entertainment industry."
Everyone was shocked.
"You''re the boss of a film and televisionpany?"
"So impressive. No wonder he''s so talented. It turns out that he''s the owner of an entertainment
company!"
Listening to the female ssmates''pliments, Colton was upset and he didn''t believe that
Jordan was telling the truth!
The reason being Colton realized that even Lauren was shocked.
It was obvious Jordan was lying and bragging!
Colton asked, "Buddy, since you are the boss of a film and televisionpany and a business
tycoon in the entertainment industry, there must be many artistes signed to yourpany, right?"
Jordan nodded and said, "Yes, there are quite a few."
Colton smiled and asked, "Who are they?"
Jordan thought for a moment and said, "Maggie Stone!"
