"Sid, my dear buddy, how are you doing lately?"
After the call was connected, Barron stood in front of the window, looking at Bonnie who was talking to the housekeeper Riley in the back garden, taking notes quickly with a pen, and spoke into the microphone.
"Barron, you actually called me. It turns out that our friendship is unbreakable..."
"You can't blame me for this. You were sent to Paris. The beauties there must be very enthusiastic."
"Wow, man, you really should come here to play. Compared to the girls in my country, this is simply a dream city."
Hearing the exaggerated tone of his former college friend Sid on the phone, Barron said lightly:
"Perhaps you have forgotten your former goddess Daisy..."
"Well, that's definitely not the case. Even now, I call her every week. I feel like she has fallen in love with me... man."
"That's great, dear Sid. I need Daisy's phone number. I want to contact her for something."
Hearing Barron's words, Sid's tone became obviously defensive:
"Barron, what are you doing? Didn't you say you weren't interested in her type? Are you planning to take advantage of my stay in France to..."
After hearing what the other party said, Barron was speechless:
"I just have a job and want to ask her if she's interested. You know, she was a top student in finance when she was in school..."
"It's because I know you so well, Barron."
Sid muttered:
"Are you sure you wouldn't do that?"
"Of course, Sid."
"Okay, I believe you for now. Her phone number is..."
Although Barron was indeed very fickle in college, he still had friends with some girls, like Daisy, whom he had just mentioned on the phone to his roommate Sid.
Barron was able to meet Daisy, a talented woman majoring in finance, because his good friend Sid was madly pursuing her at the time. As a result, Sid failed to win Daisy's heart, and the three of them became friends instead.
Well, it's not that Daisy is not beautiful. She looks very similar to the young English rose - Caitlin Zeta-Jones. Even her curly hair has the shadow of that actress.
It's not that Barron is so loyal that he would "draw a line" with the girl his friend likes.
The truth is that although Daisy is extremely beautiful, her figure... is not that bad, she can be considered a supermodel, especially her busty figure...
At that time, it was really difficult for Barron to satisfy his desire for control - this could be seen from Aurora's graceful figure, which was Barron's preference.
However, after graduation, Barron never met Daisy again, but he heard from Sid that Daisy, who had excellent grades, joined an investment bank in London after graduation and seemed to be doing well.
…
After getting Daisy's phone number from Sid, Barron looked at his watch and saw that it was probably lunch time, so he dialed the number.
"Hello, this is Daisy."
"Hello Daisy, I'm Barron, do you remember me?"
"Barron? Barron Cavendish?"
Daisy's voice sounded a little surprised on the phone.
"It's me. I'm glad you haven't forgotten your old friend."
"In fact, I have seen some reports about you in the newspapers recently, Your Highness."
"And you probably didn't tell Sid..."
This is a very obvious thing. After all, if Sid knew about those reports, he would not have behaved like that on the phone just now.
"Yes, so you got my number from him. You know, I used to think of you as friends, but Sid... is always too enthusiastic."
"Haha, I'm afraid no one doesn't know his obsession with you."
"But when the other party has clearly refused many times, this attitude may not make people feel comfortable... By the way, Your Highness, is this the reason you called me today to talk about this?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Besides, Daisy, I always treat you as a friend, so you don't have to always call me Your Highness the Duke. Just call me Barron like we did in school."
"Okay, Barron, go ahead."
"Well, I have a position here and I need someone I trust and who is professional to help me. Are you willing? I can increase your salary by 50% compared to your current salary!"
"It's quite tempting, but Barron, how did you know I just resigned?"
"You quit? Why?"
"Because my stupid boss always looks at my thighs with disgusting eyes, and tried to put his hands on them yesterday... so I slapped him hard, so... that's it."
"Wow, what great news. What a coincidence, isn't it? So will you accept my invitation?"
Barron's voice fell, and after a brief silence, Daisy said:
"Excuse me, Barron, but from what I've read, your current financial situation is not good. I'm afraid this is not a long-term position..."
"You're still so direct, Daisy."
"Otherwise you wouldn't have just slapped that idiot, would you?"
"I admire your character, but Daisy, I believe you also understand one thing, that is, rumors cannot be trusted completely. You still need to figure out for yourself what is going on in the world. Why don't you give it a try?"
"A 50% salary increase over before?"
"Yes."
"What kind of work is needed?"
"Help me execute some financial investments."
"that's all?"
"Of course, you know, Daisy, even though I was a playboy before, I never did such despicable things, otherwise you wouldn't have considered me a friend before."
"So when do I need to start working?"
"I will be back in London in a few days, and I will talk to you in detail then, and perhaps I will start working then. So you agree?"
"You can give it a try. I hope the salary won't be paid for too short a period of time. Well, at least I can get it. After all, I'm quite short of money recently."
…
Barron was very satisfied after confirming that the other party had accepted his invitation to this position.
After all, he had many years of experience in the financial industry in his previous life, and he was quite impressed by the trends of financial investment products since the new century. So from the beginning, he planned to make financial investment one of his main businesses in the future.
But in this regard, Barron is currently alone and needs an assistant to help him with specific investment operations.
Family trust funds are mainly involved in traditional industries and have little connection with financial investment.
Moreover, Barron himself wanted to use his own funds to register another company as an investment entity in addition to this fund. Therefore, in the memory of his predecessor, Daisy, the financial genius he met in college, came into his sight.
In any case, Daisy had some friendship with his...previous life, and from those memories, Barron admired this woman's efficient character very much, so today's phone call happened.
