Salute to the General novel Chapter 850

Nathan Cross had never thought that Jarelle Zinke would have brought up his past with her, on her own accord. He was lost for words.

Before he had the chance to reply, Jarelle waved to a guy dressed formally in a shirt and slacks, "Declan dear, would you come over for a second?"

At once, a young lad dressed in Armani with his glossy hair combed back walked over with a grin on his face, "Jarelle, what's the matter?"

Jarelle proudly introduced the man, "Nathan, I would like you to meet my dad's pet student."

"This is my new boyfriend, Declan Roger."

Jarelle intentionally added, "Roger is from a wealthy family of aristocrats in Channing. His family runs the livestock farming industry in this area. His family owns a total of three large-scale pig farms, which are worth more than three hundred million. That's crazy, right?"

"Crazy rich is what I'd say!" Nathan smiled and nodded his head. However, in his head, he thought to himself, Since when could properties that were only worth three-hundred million, land someone the title of an aristocrat?

Jarelle saw that even Nathan had admitted that her boyfriend was amazing and she soon grew increasingly smug. She explained to Declan, "Declan, this guy over here was also one of my dad's favorite students. Unfortunately, he hasn't been doing well recently, I'm afraid. He is unemployed now."

"Declan, why don't you look for a suitable job for him and arrange for him to join your company someday?"

Declan scanned Nathan in a belittling manner and writhed his mouth, "My company is hiring workers to feed our livestock. If you don't mind, you can come to work at our pig farm starting tomorrow."

"The salary for that vacancy is around six thousand, but since you're Jarelle's acquaintance, I am willing to give you a salary of ten thousand.”

Jarelle grinned and urged Nathan, "What are you waiting for Nathan? Quickly thank my boyfriend!"

Nathan's face soon held a twisted expression. He was just about to say a word, when all of a sudden, an old man scurried over and exclaimed, "It is really you, Nathan!"

The old man was Nathan's teacher back in high school, Jedediah Zinke.

Nathan was surprised too, "It's nice to meet you, Jedediah!"

Jedediah cupped Nathan's hands in his and chided emotionally, "We haven't met for so long. Have you been doing well lately?”

Jarelle Zinke intervened, "Dad, Nathan is not doing well at all."

"He has just gotten discharged from the army and is unemployed now. I've even asked Declan to link him with a pig-feeding job at his farm just now."
