Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 720

In Channing, Penny and some of Cross Group's executives were in the midst of their first video conference with the chairman.

Come to think of it, shareholders like Penny and the other company executives had never met their new chairman.

Hence, they were sent into a frenzy when they suddenly received news that the chairman would like to have a video conference with them.

Everyone was curious about the enigmatic person who owned 70% of Cross Group's shares. Who was the person that hid behind the 'chairman' title?

Is the chairman a man or a woman?

Are they old or young?

Penny, along with the rest of the executives, gathered in the conference room and faced the camera with professional smiles plastered on their faces. Their gazes riveted on the screen as they waited for the appearance of the chairman with bated breaths.

Ding!

As soon as the video call connected, a nondescript office room appeared on the screen. In fact, it was so unremarkable that it could pass off as a study room.

A man was sitting in an office chair, his back to the camera.

His identity remained hidden - all the executives could see was the back of the office chair and the back of his head.

The man's hoarse voice rang from the speakers. "President Smith, General Manager Sharlton, and fellow executives, it's nice to meet you."

Penny, Peggy, and the rest of the audience exchanged dubious glances. Is this actually our new chairman?

While they could not see much of him, he gave off an impression of a young man, which was a stark contrast to his raspy voice. Is he down with a cold?

Furthermore, the chairman's refusal to show them his face sent ripples of confusion among the executives as they tried to reason out his actions.
