How to respond to the honesty of a liar? There is no standard answer, everything depends on the motive of the scammer. In the current situation, Zach only needs to regard this motivation as Miles believes that this will allow Zach to better understand his abilities and bring him better development in the future.
So Zach gave a one-word response that said, 'Okay, I got it.' '
He continued to work on Miles' face for a while, "You still need to pay attention to the wound. You are no longer suitable for manual labor that makes you sweat easily. Let Bain arrange a relaxing job for you."
"Thank you." Miles looked in the mirror. His forehead, nose and corners of his mouth were all patched, and more areas were just bruised and swollen, looking like a dummy.
Zach had nothing to say, so he left Miles' residence and walked out of the living area under the gaze of every employee.
Oh, the guy lying in the backyard is still lying there~ Several bags of personal belongings in plastic bags have been thrown around him. His 'comrades' who were standing with him just now to bully others are also extremely... Reality.
Zach bypassed this stupid human being. Zach could think so. He had already analyzed it clearly before. He returned to the back porch and prepared to go back to the office to call the manager of the halfway house in the city government so that he could drag this guy away. Walk. It would be an eyesore to let him lie in Grande's backyard.
"It shouldn't happen like this!!" The man on the ground suddenly spoke when Zach walked around him, like shouting.
Zach only glanced sideways, too lazy to respond. Stupid people can't communicate, and Zach didn't want to waste energy.
"Evan said that as long as I cause trouble and annoy you, you will send me out of Grande!!"
Zach's footsteps had already reached the stairs of the back porch. He stopped, turned around, and looked at the person lying on the ground.
What is this guy talking about? Evan?
The man lying on the ground saw Zach's stopped steps, raised his face close to the ground, and stared at Zach gloomily, "You should send me away!! Instead of sending me back to prison!!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, and a strange thought came to his mind. It seemed that this second batch of Grande's former criminal employees were not as easy to deal with as expected.
"Is Evan your friend?"
Pretty much the same way I asked Miles Rogan yesterday. Whether Zach maintains the idea that this person is stupid or resets his own judgment depends on his answer. After all, with a textbook standard answer like Miles in front of him, both of them are important to Zach. They are just ex-criminal employees, so naturally we need to compare.
"Friends? Who would be friends with that pervert!!" The person lying on the ground didn't seem to have any intention of getting up. He put his chin on the ground, raised his face, and stared at Zach, "But if a pervert like him can do it, Rand found a good place, so who am I to criticize! I don’t mind following his path! As long as it allows me to get out of here! Be free again!!”
Zach's eyes blinked twice.
Everything has gone against Zach's prediction. The other party's answer was Ye Luzi.
Look, this person obviously hates Evan. Pervert is not a common curse word. Being able to say such words obviously means that this person has very pointed malice towards Evan's certain behavior. Haha, I won’t say much more here. But at the same time, this person gave Evan recognition that Evan was the first person in Grande's halfway house project to regain his freedom by relying on his own 'ability'!
The man responded by using expletives to distance himself from Evan, and then setting the tone with praise for Evan's accomplishments.
Everyone should know that when we meet new people, a situation that often occurs is that if both parties have a third person they know in common, the perception of this third person in the hearts of both parties will become the difference between the two parties. This is the key to laying the foundation for communication.
The old saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, is one application of this rule, right
And Miles and the guy lying down now have cleverly made full use of the benefits of this rule!
Miles's answer is not too obvious, because Zach likes Logan, and Miles's answer is also biased towards favorability, right? Favorability is a bonus to shortening the distance.
But in this man's answer at this moment, it was obvious that Zach didn't like Evan, and he didn't like him to the point where he knew that Evan would cause trouble if he stayed in Grande, so he sent him away directly. So what was this man's answer? I'm afraid he hates Evan even more than Zach! The enemy of my enemy is my friend? No, no, we can't use such a mindless trick here. This is the enemy of the enemy's enemy, and it's still the enemy. This guy lying on the ground is using a weapon that the enemy has successfully used against the enemy. He can also use it as his own weapon against the enemy! !
This is what he said! Evan regained his freedom by causing trouble in Grandry, and he should be able to too! !
Zach...the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled.
Stupid people, it turns out, are not stupid. "What's your name?" Zach didn't have time to look up the name now. Since the other party didn't regard him as a friend, he didn't need to worry about whether it was awkward and asked directly.
"I've been working for you for such a long time, and you don't even know my name?!" The man lying on the ground stared at Zach, really angry, and the spittle wet the dust in front of his face. It's disgusting.
"And you thought I was sick and afraid of the sun~" Zach squatted on the stairs of the back porch, feeling tired when he saw the other person staring at his neck. This is not thoughtfulness, but sympathy that is still looking down, "Name." Zach will not repeat it a third time, so this is the other person's only chance.
"Thin clouds."
Zach raised his eyebrows. This is not a name, but an Indian surname.
Zach looked at the other person's face carefully again, and he could indeed see some traces of Indian blood, "Are you Indian?"
"I'm a bastard!!"
Well, no one would say that to him. Zach curled his lips and said, "Do you like to be called Xiyun?" Just like Zach likes to be called Zach, everyone has their own preferences, there is nothing surprising. .
"I love being reminded of how my son of a bitch father abandoned me and my mother!!"
Well... Zach wasn't actually ready to discuss such a... personal topic with this guy so quickly.
Forget it, but Zach finally understood that the surname Xiyun was passed down from this man's 'son of a bitch' father. This guy takes it as a mark of shame, reminding himself all the time...
Gee, that's a pretty fucking persistence in life, and it's obvious that this is this person's only persistence in life, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to express it~ But there's nothing to criticize, as I said, everyone has their own 'preferences'.
But since the topic was so personal, Zach just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, "Is this why you went to jail?" Zach could guess that a guy with such a weird perseverance in life would definitely do something like this. Do something extreme to get revenge on that... 'son of a bitch'. Zach added, "And you failed."
It's quite obvious that if this person succeeds, he won't be in the halfway house of Grande. He should spend his life in some heavy prison, or worse, be sentenced to death.
Xiyun got up with a swishing sound and rushed towards Zach, he was irritated. It’s not his fault, it’s Zach who deliberately provokes people when he knows that they care about such things.
However, Zach cannot be hit.
In front of the back porch, Zach slapped Xiyun on the ground again and tilted his head, "You don't know how to learn lessons, do you?"
Xiyun hugged the earth again and faced down. With the sound of heavy breathing, the dust on both sides of his face was puffed up and flying by his breath. He didn't speak.
Zach smiled again and continued his curiosity, "If you are free, what do you want to do? Continue to seek revenge on your father." Zach did not intend to quote the other party's description of his father.
The dust on both sides of Xiyun's face started flying more intensely. He still didn't speak, but he obviously admitted it.
Zach got playful. The big reason was that Grandery had had this group of employees for a long time. Only now did Zach discover that there were such interesting characters among these employees. Zach had to be allowed to whim~
"You have already failed once, is there anything different this time?" Zach sounded very serious, as if he really wanted to discuss this kind of thing with this guy, "Do you use the time in prison to make a new plan? ?”
Xiyun's face raised, and because the distance was closer, it became more difficult to glare at Zach. His chin was already red from rubbing on the ground, and there were blood stains, "What do you care about?! You are going to send me back to prison!!"
"I haven't called the city government yet." Zach tilted his head, "You still have a chance~" Don't doubt it, this is just for fun. Give the other party a little hope and see how long the other party can climb~ It's quite... a bad game.
Xiyun really fell into Zach's game, and he started to climb up. The look in his eyes that stared at Zach changed in an instant, "I won't tell you what I plan to do!!" At the same time, this man was still somewhat rational, "But if you are really willing to help me return to freedom! I am willing to do it for you!" You do anything!!”
Zach raised his eyebrows again, because he didn't think the other party was lying, because this guy would actually listen to Evan's advice and use the dangerous and dangerous trick of deliberately causing trouble in Grandry to get his freedom, right
Zach thought about it for a moment, "How much do you know about Grande from Evan?"
This is another thing that Zach cares about, and it is also the fundamental reason why Zach stopped before. Before Logan became Ravenci's subordinate, he was still a serious employee of Grande, and it is also the reason for these new employees. It is natural for seniors to give advice to these people.
But Evan? Tsk, this guy Evan will only cause trouble for Grande. In the past, when Hank was still here, he had secretly called the living area to disrupt the order of Grande.
So when Zach heard that the other party was in contact with Evan, he had to be alert. After all, Evan knows as much as Logan! What makes Evan even more dangerous is that Evan is a typical bad guy. He is evil...
"I know Grande is not just a funeral home!" Xiyun answered.
This is too broad and should not be mentioned at all. Gee, as the master of Grande, Zach often disappears when there are real funeral matters. This is already telling. How can there be a boss who manages his own business like this! The only explanation is that the funeral home is just a... cover.
Zach directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the answer, "Then what."
"No more!" Xiyun continued to answer, "After Hank was sent abroad, no one knew what Grande did!"
Zach tilted his head, as if looking at Grande through the eyes of these ex-criminals. Grande's attributes were indeed a bit vague.
One fact must be acknowledged, that is, Old Hank has a real status in the hearts of these ex-criminals, the cleanup man. It was normal for these people who had spent a lot of their lives in isolation in prison not to know Zachary Grande, who had only begun to emerge suddenly this year, but they definitely knew the old Hank.
All the former criminals who come to Grande will probably have a fixed impression of Grande's attributes because of Old Hank. But the current group of employees who came to Grande experienced Old Hank moving back to Grande from the living area, and then directly leaving the country.
Moreover, this group of employees did not have the experience of Logan and Evan's group of West End and Barton bosses who frequently came to Grande to visit Zach, so they did not have enough information to supplement. Therefore, my impression of Grande naturally became blurry. Everyone knew that Grande's boss was up to something, but no one knew what he was up to.
Zach was satisfied with this answer, because it also showed that Evan did not say anything he shouldn't have said. It makes sense when you think about it. Evan is not a good guy. He doesn't have the kindness to be the senior of these new employees and help them really gain a foothold in Grande.
Evan probably just hopes to see another guy from Grandry who can inherit his mantle and cause trouble in Grandry, which is the Xiyun in front of Zach now. Then Evan can watch Xiyun being bullied by Zach from a distance, in order to satisfy his Evan's 'perverted' psychology...
Zach decided to mention this thin cloud, "So Evan actually didn't tell you anything. You don't know much about Grande or me at all."
Xiyun didn't speak, just stared at Zach.
"But still, you followed Evan's advice and deliberately looked for trouble. There is indeed something wrong with your IQ."
"Otherwise?!" Xiyun glared at Zach, "Would you like Miles to follow Logan's path?!"
This is the answer Zach wants. If Xiyun is the only way to let Zach really let him go, the only way is to prove his IQ! And this moment is the only chance. Xiyun, caught
"The halfway house system has been perfected in our group! Logan's method of sending people to the West to be gilded in advance cannot be used with us!! Miles is the idiot! There is no hope in taking this path. The right way! I am the right way! As long as I really offend you! Even the prison cannot tolerate me! Because I will come back one day!!"
Ah~ that’s right, halfway houses, people who leave prison will always come back to Zach~ The way to really get out of this system is to really make Zach hate him and never want to see him again. That is when you truly say goodbye to prison and halfway house, and gain true freedom.
No wonder Xiyun dared to get up and try to hit Zach for the second time. He felt that his road had not come to an end yet~
Zach smiled and nodded, "Okay, go put your things in the room." He stood up and went back to Grande, "Oh, by the way, stop bullying Miles. You and Miles choose We have taken two different paths to gain freedom, so let’s compete fairly~ Let’s see who wins in the end~”
It’s still a game~
