Porky Queen seems to be in need of love... The new partnership with Amelia that was agreed to yesterday was implemented today.
Early in the morning, Emilia came to Grande first... No, according to her statement, she went to the Ancestors Office first and got information about an alien trying to settle in Barton, and then she came to Grande. Germany -
"My first evaluation target is the slime who wanted to buy your blood in Barton last time. Are you interested in watching?"
"No." Zach answered simply. Today Zach has a very important job in Grande to do - Eisela will bring a group of city reviewers to re-evaluate Grande's qualifications as a 'halfway home' .
I hope everyone has not forgotten the direction of public opinion after the incident in which a Grande employee injured a reporter. Remember the conclusion drawn by Kate's 'objective' reporting at the time? The reason for that tragedy was not Grande employees, not Grande, or reporters, but a problem with the system. The halfway house in the community rehabilitation project needs the city government to provide more supporting measures to truly achieve the purpose of guiding the ex-offenders in the halfway house to integrate into society.
Therefore, this review is not aimed at the existing conditions of Grande, but rather uses on-site inspections to find out how to improve the conditions of Grande in the future.
What Hank told the staff in the living area yesterday... well, management was not just a casual lie. But still, we are still being studied too deeply.
Back to Emilia, "So, do you have any information you can give me about this slime? Benjamin didn't tell me anything. Is there anything I should pay attention to when meeting the slime?"
"I don't know." Zach really has no time to care about the trouble Amelia has caused for him. Zach is re-examining Grande's records of employee schedules, although he knows that today's review will not have any impact on Grande. There is no negative impact, but there is no need to expose unnecessary flaws to others. This is the truth.
Emilia was a little persistent, "Is there nothing?"
"Hey." Zach took the time to look at Emilia, "I only know that he said he was a speculative businessman. He wanted my blood because he wanted to collect Toledo's blood before it was priced in the market. Part of the stock, and then he failed. That was it."
"Opportunism." Amelia was also very professional and wrote down, "Thank you." Knowing that Zach would never pay attention to her again, she left and went to the nursing home.
Zach was able to finish his work quietly.
It was almost noon when Aisela came with a group of city government officials.
This moment really made Zach a little embarrassed. When Aisela walked in front, he winked first, 'What do you mean? Does Grande still care about these people's meals? Do I want to accompany them? Are you causing trouble for me? ? '
Esera directly ignored Zach's eyes. As the project initiator, he made an introduction between the Grande side and the reviewers side, and then sent the people to the living area - "Everyone, take a look at Grande's side first." Staff living area, when I chose Grande Funeral Home, I took a fancy to the living conditions that Grande can provide for these people."
When a group of people took out their cameras and notebooks to prepare, Esera gave Zach a look, and Zach understood, "Bain is Grande's original employee, and he will be our guide." Obey Bain's order, and then stay outside with Aesera when a bunch of people enter the living area.
"Give me a success case." Aisela's expression was not good.
“What success story?”
"A case of successful transformation!" Esera twitched her lips irritably, "I asked you to prepare when I called you to inform you, don't say you didn't!"
Yesterday, Ethela did call Zach. In the early hours of the morning, Zach could still hear Mayor Anthony complaining on the receiver that Ethela had run out of shower gel... So under what circumstances was this notification call made? Just make up your own mind like Zach.
"But you didn't say you wanted to prepare any success stories." Zach showed no expression. If he went by the atmosphere of the phone call yesterday morning, if Zach was an irresponsible funeral home owner, he wouldn't even check the itinerary records before. , will only regard this as a formality of bureaucracy.
"But I want it now!" Esera seemed to be in a really bad mood. She crossed her arms irritably, "Are you willing for me to wait until this awkward time to bring someone over? Humph." She stared at life sideways. District, of course, all she saw were walls, doors, and windows, but Zach knew that what Ethela wanted to see was the people inside, "These city government interns all seemed a bit easy when I selected them. The controlling little guy ended up causing such a mess for me when he came over!"
City government intern
No wonder Zach thinks these reviewers are quite young. Well, that's not the point. The point should be what Aisela said about 'picking people' and 'easy-to-control little guys'.
In fact, Zach can understand it. A community rehabilitation program designed to reintegrate ex-convicts into society was a good political move to salvage Ethera's respect when she resigned from the campaign last year. But as Barton has entered a period of rapid development this year, how much attention can her project, which is meaningless to the vast majority of citizens, take up among the city government's numerous livelihood goals
The project's institutional problems (employees hitting reporters) have been exposed for so long, and the fact that the city government has only now made any move to improve the project's equipment is the best proof. The people who come are all interns as Aisela said. As you can imagine, no one with real power in the city government is willing to waste time on such a project.
Then Ethela obviously made a mistake here. She mistakenly regarded an intern with no actual political resources as a manipulative little guy.
It's a fact that the little guy is so young, but so manipulative? Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Has this common truth been forgotten by Aisela, a woman who has been in politics for such a long time? Is she thinking about how she used various means, relying on threats, blackmail, and frame-ups, to get to where she is today
The thing about interns is that they are probably too naive and simple. When you use "I hold your future career prospects" as a threat, these cute little interns may think you are motivating them. They have to work harder...
A woman like Aisela who is too accustomed to holding on to other people's rights and interests in order to control others cannot control these interns who have nothing at all!
Zach sympathized with Esera for two seconds, "What did they do?"
"They went to Bishop Manor to interview Evan yesterday without my permission!" Esera was really angry, "That Evan who even you, a four-century old monster, defines as a typical bad guy! Then! Early this morning, a group of worried people came to my office and told me that the halfway house in Grande was a complete failure! The only person who came out of the rehabilitation project, Evan, was a sociopath and a dangerous person!"
Well…
Zach and Esera are both responsible for this. Evan was thrown out as trouble by these two people, but to his surprise, he would now provoke Grande in turn.
While Zach was thinking, Aisela was still venting her anger, "Do you think I want to delay coming so late? I'm putting out fires! It took almost a morning of meetings to convince these people to come to Grande first!"
It’s hard for Ethera.
Zach was curious about how Aisela saved the fire, "So do they still regard Evan as a model for the Grand Halfway House?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I ask you to come up with a truly successful case!" Esera shook her head irritably, "I'm just convincing them now that Evan is a special case." She glanced at Zach, "Because Joe, we When Evan was released, Joe happened to die. Bishop Manor gave me this information and asked me to suppress the matter. Now these interns have temporarily accepted Evan's antisocial tendencies because he was in The only friend in this city was killed when he first gained freedom! Grande was successful, but social reality made Evan hate society again!"
Yes, this 'distortion' of the facts is logical. It’s the same as Zach’s thinking process just now—
"Okay." Zach continued, "Next, you can deliberately suppress the first impression these interns have on Grande because of Evan..."
Zach didn't even finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Aisela unhappily, "No pressure? If you don't pressure, will they let them convict Evan again?! Do I want to watch Grande become a failed project?!"
"Can you please listen to me first?" Zach was a little speechless, "Don't forget, I found Evan's job at Bishop Manor."
"so what?"
"Whether Evan has antisocial personality, just ask a professional psychiatrist to evaluate it." It's no wonder that Emilia showed up at Grande this morning~ "There's no need to be criticized by a bunch of interns who are eager to show off." Come to a conclusion." This was considered consolation for Aisela's mistake in selecting people, and then, "And in terms of the significance of the existence of the halfway house, Evan has not done anything harmful to society since leaving Grande. If I remember correctly, Mr. Bishop..." and Isela looked at each other, "The evil spirit Shel is still boringly helping Evan with the lawsuit over Joe's death."
Ethela's lips moved, "You mean Grande is successful, and what happens after leaving society is the normal experience of people in society. The point is that Evan has not degenerated back into a criminal, but is using normal social channels. Get justice for the death of your friend.”
"Yes." Zach nodded, "And the most important thing Grande did after Evan entered society was to give Evan a channel to avoid falling again. I introduced him to Bishop Manor. This is Grande's role in Extra credit for doing what is essentially a halfway house job.”
As expected of Aisela, her mind has already started to spin, "You are saying that if Grande can be upgraded as a halfway house, its function should not only help these reformers re-adapt to society, but also help these reformers to adapt to society when they leave. Have the right to dictate where they go in the future?”
Zach nodded again, "There is no need to take the lead, but there must be suggestions, because besides the prison, Grande, as a halfway house, is the person who knows these ex-criminals best. Grande's suggestions in this regard should be accepted by the system. "
Eisela's mood has improved, "So according to your logic, Evan is no longer a Grande failure case in the eyes of these interns. He is a Grande using the halfway house project. Important experience from the time! As the developer of the project system, the government should use this experience to make the project better!”
"Correct." Zach nodded again.
Esera lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded, "I can convince them like this." Then, she raised her head and looked at Zach, "Still, experience is important, and it can barely keep Grande's qualifications for a halfway house, but you Still give me a truly successful case!”
Zach did not deny it, and thought for a moment, "Logan, Logan is now promoting the privatization of the funeral industry in Vega City in the west." Of course we know that this is not the case, but we should be conscious of all our understanding of this story. , is not common sense. To ordinary people in Patton, Rogan went west to promote funeral privatization on behalf of Grande. Zach added, "From an ex-criminal to a pioneer who advances an industry, I call that success."
Ethela knows as much as we do, so she frowned instinctively, "Are you sure that Logan in Vega can be regarded as a model of success? 100% sure? I can't stand what kind of alien-human being he will create in Vega. Bad things come out!”
Zach is actually a bit hypocritical. First, the promotion of funeral privatization in the West is not going well, and then Logan himself is involved in a bloody incident. But - "What you want is just the case of Logan. I am at least Toledo of the Sabbat. Regardless of what Logan is personally like, it is not difficult to ask my brothers in the West to create a successful case for Logan for me."
These words made it impossible for Ethela, the woman who had already booked Lesembula, to refute. Aisela relaxed and nodded, "Okay."
Ethela relaxed, but Zach did not. "Don't be happy yet. What about lunch? I can't share lunch with these people who are meeting for the first time."
We have seen Zach's tricks to avoid eating many times. Apart from the little tricks of drinking and republican style food, what really achieves the effect is to use a serious topic that diners cannot avoid to make everyone lose the desire to eat.
Ethera rolled her eyes at Zach, "You are Toledo, you ask me? Use your charming eyes!" As she spoke, she mocked Zach and walked away while taunting her, wanting to join in. Visited the living area, "It's not a devastating move. Keep whatever you want, just use it when you need it. Why are you pretending to be a gentleman? It's disgusting..."
Why.
In fact, we have already discussed the answer to this question. The Eye of Charm, the only special thing about Toledo is that it can be used, anytime, anywhere~ No one can stop it, but... What's the point of such eternal life...
"I like this LeSumbra reservation." Roy said in the warehouse. When Zach looked over, Roy had already turned around, "Corden! Get up! It's time to eat!"
Yes, Corden, who stayed overnight, slept in Roy's warehouse. (To be continued)
