Jordan speaks about his stockbroking company:

JORDAN: Word about us spread throughout Wall Street. Even the places I didn't want it to. It wasn't long before Forbes magazine, the flagship of Wall Street, called to do a profile on me.

What does "It wasn't long before" mean?

Source: The Wolf of Wall Street (a 2013 American biographical black comedy crime film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Terence Winter)
 
Only a fairly short time elapsed before ...
From given context, what happened first in timeline: Forbes magazine do a profile on him (or) Word about us spread even the places he didn't want to?
 
The latter. It wasn't long after word spread that Forbes did a profile on him.
