Sunday, Grande interview day.
morning:
"You come from the central part, why did you leave?" One by one, they were called to the office for a three-minute chat. There are no special professional requirements for this job, so it's really just chatting and Zach is very relaxed.
"I don't like the new city lord."
"Why?"
"He eats people."
Zach didn't think the other party was serious, "In this era, it's impossible for a foreign race with too monotonous eating habits to sneak into the position of city lord."
Sure enough, "I thought I was here for a job interview, not another occupancy permit." The interviewer actually became impatient. As for the 'occupancy permit' in his mouth, he should be talking about Emilia's review.
Zach became a little more interested, "You don't seem to be as eager to please me as Toledo like the previous people."
"I please. My original city lord eats people, so I came to a vampire city that doesn't eat people and even helps the human government maintain the city. This is my pleasure."
Zach thought for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this logic. "Your resume is quite special. You participated in the war between the Federation and the Northland eleven years ago. Your current human status has a military background..."
Zach was interrupted before he finished speaking, "Nothing special. During the war, the Secret Alliance's control over the foreign races in the central region loosened, and many foreign races went to the battlefield to look for opportunities and start over with a new identity. I'm just one of many. one."
It seems like Zach can't refute, because Zach can barely do it this way... Benjamin is exactly this way.
Zach advanced, "There are many opportunities in Barton with a military background. If you have old injuries, you can join the West End Family Smith's 0711 project. If you have good professional qualities, you can also choose among the security companies in Barton. The city of Barton Long Anthony is also known for favoring veterans, and with your status there are opportunities everywhere in Barton." Zach's real question is, "Why come to Grand?"
The other party was quiet for a while, without looking at Zach, "Why do I need a chance? To make money to support my family? No. I don't have such a need or desire. I just want to find a place to retire."
Zach blinked, "And you think coming to me can help you take care of yourself in old age?"
"If the Grand Funeral Home is threatened, will you leave or stay in front?" The other party looked up at Zach and asked.
"Well, I believe I'll be in front." Zach could only answer.
"Then I can lie behind you and retire peacefully." The other party's response was also extremely true, "Because if you are a threat that even Toledo can't withstand, it will be useless for me to do anything."
It feels like this interview can't last three minutes, Zach, "I'm not sure I want my employees to have your mentality..." Zach tried to be tactful.
The other party looked at Zach for a while, "I can make any corpse look glorious in half a minute." This guy didn't give up, and began to use his racial characteristics as a bargaining chip, "I can be Grande's body organizer. . I have inquired that this work is currently done by you personally. You, a vampire, cannot possibly enjoy this kind of work, so I can liberate you."
"Actually, Grande's recruitment this time requires people who can work in the cemetery."
"There's no conflict. If you give me double salary, I can take both positions."
Zach opened his mouth. This guy's understanding of elderly care is really... alien.
"Okay, you're hired." Zach didn't know how he made this decision. "Come to Grande to work tomorrow. If you don't have a place to live, go to Bain and ask him to arrange it for you..."
"Today." The other party paused, "Now. I don't want to spend another day's accommodation in Becky's small hotel. I can save a lot of money if I check out before noon."
"Okay..." Zach really didn't know how to refute this guy, so he could only say, "Go down and ask the next interviewer to come up. Please."
"You're welcome, boss. That's right." The mummy named Milo left the office.
After that, Zach took in a few more 'normal' aliens, some from the central region and some from the west. During the interview process, Zach basically repeated, "Don't call me Toledo, Grande, Zach, Boss, pick one and stick to it.”
afternoon:
Milo had already settled in the living area. He went to the cemetery area and took the initiative to choose the maintenance work of the South Park Cemetery. "I like corpses, well-maintained corpses. The condition of the corpses in South Park is four It’s the best among the parks. I’ll feel better in Nanyuan. Give me a job in Nanyuan.”
Could Zach say no? Right.
Then…
"You were sentenced to five years for breaking and entering with malicious intent." During the interview, "Do you have anything to say? In order to make me not care too much about your past life choices and focus more on the job seeker in front of me now. Is it effective?"
Zach is so gentle~
The answer came, "No." The other party gave Zach a mocking look, "I'm tired of telling others that I have changed and that I am a better person!" The other party leaned forward on the desk. , staring at Zach, "Have I changed? Am I a better person?" There were bloodshot eyes in the eyes that stared at Zach, but Zach could tell that it was not caused by emotions, but by unhealthy living habits. , "I was constantly told by the entire justice system that I was a sinner, and then they forcibly interrupted my life for five years! Five years!! You told me five years of living in a closed environment with a gang of criminals, what could I do? Change? Become an angel?!" This is not the other party's conclusion. The point is here: "Ha! Even if I really become an angel, I don't know, right! Because no one gave me a chance to get to know me again. Who are you now!!"
Zach was quiet for a while. After the other party calmed down a bit, he moved his body and leaned on the back of the chair to look at the ceiling as if he didn't care.
"Your resume says that you didn't find a job in the year after you were released from prison. How did you live?" This is what the other party said, "No one gave you a chance."
"Some random odd jobs."
"for example?"
The other person's cheek twitched, "For example, someone is willing to pay a few hundred dollars in cash to beat up a guy who doesn't like it!"
Zach laughed, "So you haven't changed~ You're still a criminal~" Don't imitate Zach, this is not something to laugh about.
Looking from the ceiling to the wall on one side, the guy shrugged and stopped talking.
"After five years of living in prison with a bunch of criminals, have you ever heard of Grande?" Zach continued to ask.
The other party's body trembled visibly, and his eyes returned to Zach, "I heard, I heard what your old man did before. Humph." I don't know what he was mocking, "If I had known that there was a cleaner like this before, If there were such professional people to deal with the aftermath, I wouldn’t go to jail.”
So to sum up at a high level, without evaluating the question of whether the crime is sinful or not, this is a person who is still living in a wrong decision in the past and fantasizing about what he can redeem from his mistakes.
"Liquidators are no longer Grand's business."
"Humph, but you Grande are not idle either." The other party stared at Zach, "I took over the odd jobs at the 'General' rest stop, and also took over the odd jobs at the Skull, and you can hear your name there. , Zachary Grande!”
If the main theme of the alien interview in the morning was the position of aliens in human society, then the main theme of the ex-criminal interview in the afternoon was... people who have been to the dark side, and whether they have the ability to return to the light.
Well, as everyone knows, Grande jumps repeatedly in black and white, and then packages it in gray to save her respect. Just ask James and you will know how many times Grande has maintained Barton's harmony, but how many rotten and rotten truths he has covered up!
"If your job every day is just to guard the tomb, pull weeds, and clean up the garbage left by some grave sweepers..." Zach smiled, "Would you feel bored?"
The other party didn't seem to react to Zach's sudden change of subject.
"What..." The other party shook his head vigorously, and then replied, "It won't be boring, as long as you pay me my salary."
"Then if Grande suddenly asks you to do something outside of work, for example~" Zach tilted his head slightly, "gives you a few hundred dollars in cash and asks you to beat up a guy who treats Grande badly, what will you do? Do it?”
Loyalty to Grande, this is Grande’s expectation for recruiting employees this time, right
The other party frowned and did not answer.
Good, it’s right not to answer, because Zach’s next question is, “If someone threatens your life of getting paid by pulling weeds every day, will you do something? Even if I don’t do anything else, Give me money."
The other party's face twitched again, "I can!" But this time it was very straightforward.
"Why?" Zach smiled and encouraged the other person to finish the sentence.
"Because I can either keep this job! Or I can go back to doing those 'temporary jobs' that will send me back to prison sooner or later! What other choice do I have?!" The daily helplessness of a cruel world.
But yes ~ this is the correct answer.
Grande’s loyal employees must have this awareness.
"Come to work tomorrow. If you don't have a place to stay, find Bain..."
"Wait! I passed?!" It was too sudden, and the other party didn't seem to react to the result.
"Yeah." Zach nodded and put away the resume of an ex-convict named Scott. "There is another question. Judging from your condition, your previous lifestyle was not healthy." Zach observed the look in the other person's eyes before. Bloodshot, "Do you have anything I need to know..." Zach looked at the other person's face, "Bad habits."
"No!" Scott's answer was simple.
Zach said nothing more, "When you get down, ask the next one to come up."
Scott was still surprised that Zach ended the interview like this, "That's it? Come to work in Grande tomorrow? You don't need anything else?" There was a reason why he asked, "In addition to housing, you promised social security Will you give it to me?" He is a human being, and his social identity is his only life in this world. He cannot be as free and easy as the aliens in the morning.
"Of course." Zach nodded, "You can do those complicated procedures slowly. As I said, Grande's work is actually very boring. There is plenty of time..."
"Now!" Well, he was just as anxious as Mummy Milo in the morning.
"As you wish, go find Bain." Zach didn't like those complicated things and pointed to the door, "Please remember to call the next one up."
After that, Zach recruited a few more 'normal' ex-convicts, and the content of the chat Zach kept repeating, "No, Grande is not working for the city government's community improvement now, and I have no responsibility to hire you. , you want me to pay your salary, convince me."
Zach had a very fulfilling day today~
