Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1296

Hagrid already knew what Blake was up to, and he was more than happy to see him try to seduce Penny.

If his male artist were able to approach Penny Smith, Hagrid would also be able to take advantage of her, such as asking Blake to coax Penny into investing in a movie or a TV series.

When he saw Blake getting flat out rejected, Hagrid smiled and tried to change the topic, "Oh, of course, I understand! Come, come, let's all sit down and have some food while we talk."

Penny's group and Hagrid's group quickly sat down according to their respective positions.

Hagrid ordered the waiter to start serving the food and to open a few bottles of champagne.

He raised his glass and smiled at Penny before declaring, "President Smith, it is our honor that you are hiring our company's celebrities to perform at your company's celebration. This is a toast to you and to

our cooperation!"

Penny held up her glass and smiled. "Mr. Potter, we haven't even talked about how many celebrities and the prices yet!"

Hagrid laughed and replied, "Ms. Smith is inviting my artists to perform. It is a great honor for me, so I will most definitely charge the lowest price there is on the market. The price is two million for an artist to sing a song, and because Blake Fuller is a superstar, his appearance fee is going to cost ten million."

Penny blurted out in shock, "Two million for a song and ten million for Blake Fuller to show up? Isn't that a little too expensive?"

"This is the market price," Hagrid answered with a smile, "There is a reason why it's expensive. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough, President Smith."

Even though Penny thought it was expensive, the executives beside her told her that these prices were normal, so she reluctantly agreed, "Alright then. We'll go with your prices, Mr. Potter."

What Penny didn't know was that the prices that Hagrid offered were indeed lower than usual.

This was because Hagrid had other plans. What he wanted was to help his artist Blake Fuller to hook up with Penny Smith.

As long as they were able to hook up, he could control Penny however he wanted to. Coaxing her to invest large sums of money into films and TV series was going to be a piece of cake.

With that thought in his mind, Hagrid secretly winked at his surrounding celebrities.

Some of them caught on and started doing what they did best - acting. They constantly livened the atmosphere and persuaded Penny and her group to drink up.

Unknowingly, Penny's people were starting to get a little drunk.

When Hagrid saw what was happening, he quietly took out a small bag of powder and poured it into the champagne bottle when no one was watching.
