Salute To The General

Chapter 174 Are You Mocking Me And Implying That I Am N...

Nathan Cross grinned and replied, "It was because of you that the mayor showed up, not me.”

"How is that possible?" Penny Smith widened her eyes, feeling perplexed.

Nathan beamed as he answered, "Why isn't possible? The Asiatic Shopping Mall project which you are

currently overseeing is a key construction project of the city. As the economy is not doing well this year,

Channing can only rely on the major infrastructure projects to increase the country's GDP. As such, the

mayor is paying a lot of attention to that project of yours. Do you understand why I said it's because of

you that the mayor appeared at dad's banquet now?"

After listening to Nathan's explanation, the woman was confounded. Still trying to wrap her head

around it, she asked, "Then, what about the rest of the leaders?"

"They all came to butter up the mayor, obviously," Nathan Cross replied with a twinkle in his eye.

Penny Smith was utterly dumbfounded. She was not entirely convinced that things were as simple as it

seemed.

However, her husband's rationale was indeed plausible. As she could not think of a better justification,

Penny accepted it for the time being.

After Sean Smith returned to the Smith family's mansion, he was still immersed in the lingering blissful

feeling, which he had a while back when he was drinking with the leaders.
