Salute to the General 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!"
