Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1545

Nathan did not stay at Brimmopolis for long. He took a flight back to Channing the next day.

After returning to Channing, Nathan directly gave Colin, Ava, and the Elite Eight their vacations, allowing them to rest for two days.

He, on the other hand, drove straight to Cross Group as he had originally planned to pick up Penny and go home for lunch together.

Penny, who was just getting ready to leave work, was surprised to see Nathan.

"Darling, you're back! Why didn't you tell me in advance?''

Nathan smiled and said, "I thought of giving you a surprise, so I didn't inform you in advance."

"Come on, let's go home for dinner.”

At this moment, Penny Smith's personal bodyguard and assistant, Frida, reminded, "President, Herman Franck, the newly appointed director of the Food and Drug

Administration in the province, came to Channing for an inspection today."

"Just now, the leaders of the city informed the bosses of Food and Drug Enterprise in Channing that they should all go to the guesthouse at noon and attend the banquet to entertain Commissioner Franck."

"Cross Group is the number one enterprise in Channing and the number one pharmaceutical enterprise in the South."

"I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for you to not show up."

Nathan snorted coldly, "What do you mean 'inappropriate'? It's just a reception. It'll be fine as long as the leaders and prominent businessmen of Channing attend it. It's not necessary for everyone to be there.”

Penny Smith laughed, "He is an influential and powerful person while we are just businessmen. All our work will be under Commissioner Franck's supervision in the future."

"Besides, the leaders of the city have informed us that we are invited to the banquet. It'll not look good on us if we don't show up."

In a way, everyone was obligated to flatter the higher-ups.

Even those who don't intend to curry favors through lowly means would attend such events to avoid sticking out like a sore thumb. It would be tragic to leave behind a bad impression should the leaders remember the absentees.

Penny Smith said to Nathan, "On second thought, I think we should go. Hubby, will you go with me?"

Nathan agreed, "Sure!"

Coincidentally, just as Herman finished his sentence, a murmur spread through the crowd, "President Smith has arrived!"

Immediately, the crowd turned to look at the entrance.

Nathan strode in, his impressive physique immediately capturing the attention of many. Next to him stood the slender Penny and their bodyguard, Frida.

Herman had known of Penny, the Business Goddess, since a long time ago, but when he saw the woman in question, he couldn't conceal his look of astonishment. This woman is really a fine specimen.

At this juncture, Penny Smith had taken the initiative to bow towards Herman and greet him, "Might this be Commissioner Franck? Commissioner Franck, Mayor Crow, and my respected seniors in the business field, it is my honor to meet you."

Herman snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Penny's' lilting voice. He grinned broadly, his eyes turning into crescents as he extended a hand to Penny. "Hahaha... So this is the renowned Ms. Smith. You're far more beautiful than the rumors imply."

Upon hearing this, Russell and a few leaders of Channing stiffened slightly, their expressions shifting perceptibly.

Russell started to feel anxious. I've heard that Commissioner Franck has a bad reputation when it came to his private life. Surely, this fellow isn't harboring detestable thoughts about Ms. Smith? That would be digging his own grave!
