Salute to the General novel Chapter 170

What? The leaders of Channing?

Benson, Leah and Penny looked at Nathan as if he was insane.

Benson Smith let out a sigh as he said, "Nathan, get your head out of the clouds. It's almost noon. How are we going to get the leaders of Channing here? Why don't you say we'll invite the mayor instead?"

As a matter of fact, Nathan Cross replied, "Yeah! That's right! The leaders of Channing whom I was referring to include the mayor as well."

Everyone from the family couldn't help but roll their eyes at the man's absurdity.

Since it did not cost anything to brag, Nathan seemed to be overindulging in it.

Peony Hall was situated at the East Wing of the second floor of the Indigo hotel, while the West Wing housed the Lotus Hall.

As compared to the desolate Peony Hall, the Lotus Hall was full of activity.

Friends and relatives of the Smith Family had all chosen to attend Samuel Smith's fifty-fifth birthday celebration instead of Benson Smith's fiftieth.

Those who were slightly closer to Benson had taken the effort to pass him a small gift to thank him for the invite.

However, the majority of the invited guests did not even bother to stop by the Peony Hall. They had headed directly to the Lotus Hall.

Everyone knew Samuel Smith was the one taking care of all matters relating to the Smith Family, regardless of magnitude. As such, it was an open secret that Samuel would be the future head of the family.

Benson Smith paled in comparison to his brother. He was someone even his own dad looked down on.

Dressed in a bespoke suit, Samuel welcomed his guests together with his family as they arrived.

Sean Smith was satisfied with the turnout of his eldest son's birthday celebration today. It was an indication of his wide influence and network.

However, there was still something lacking.

The people who were present at Samuel Smith's birthday celebration were mostly either members of the Smith Family or the senior management of the Grande Group.

Included in the guest list were also the Group's business associates, as well as friends from Samuel Smith's own social circle. There was not a single politician at the event.

Sean Smith was very clear of the workings of the business world. If one aspired to make it big, having a politician's backing was of utmost importance.
