Benjamin never had a high-end image to maintain, so when Zach was still hesitating out of curiosity and intention, the plate in front of him was already brought to him by Alpha. This guy is no help!
Zach stared at Mr. Herman's expression for a while, stood up, and walked to the desk, "Pen."
Curiosity killed my original intention. Sorry, Ali's advice.
Gains and losses will be judged later.
The pen with the cap unscrewed was placed against the agreement and pushed in front of Zach. Watching Zach take it, he turned directly to the last page, shook his wrist, and drew his name, "Why don't you take a look." Mr. Herman reminded calmly.
"No need." Zach closed the document, "Secretizing matters is part of my job." Zach smiled at Herman who signed the examiner's signature, "Compared to the constraints on me, I think this agreement is more restrictive for you. There’s more pressure.”
This is the truth. Grande will be bound by the agreement and remain silent about the commission. All actions and rules are contracted to be followed. This is not difficult for gray professionals.
On the contrary, the real difficulty was for Herman. He obviously didn't want anyone to know about this matter, but in this way, a gap was cut abruptly and Grande, who had nothing to do with it, was introduced. There is one more person in the know.
What Zach said was 'pressure'. Of course, there was the first insider. As the commission progresses, wouldn't there be a second and third one? Grande doesn’t need to bear this risk! The bearer is Hermann himself!
The reason why Zach looked at Herman without any pressure at this time, and even with a "pity" emotion, was that no matter what Herman was trying to hide, someone already knew everything! Don't forget it, Eli!
The secret was out long ago, and Herman kept the deal Zach had just signed in order to keep it secret. It's just a joke!
After confirming Zach's signature, Mr. Herman closed the file, locked it in the drawer, adjusted his posture, pointed to the seat in front of the desk, "Sit down."
Zach smiled and saluted in thanks. Sitting down, the vampire knew that it was finally time to get down to business.
"I want to close the Hermann factory." This is the first sentence.
Zach kept smiling, "Say it again?" It was just too sudden, and the vampire hadn't prepared the appropriate expression yet.
Mr. Herman clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back on the wide chair, and looked at Zach, "You have heard it. Tens of millions of people will lose their jobs, and the place where we are sitting now will become a wasteland of steel and cement." Enclosed empty frame.”
Zach dropped his smile. He was inexplicably distracted, "Ten thousand?" Zach had never thought that Herman's factory supported so many people.
"Huh." Herman didn't want to explain. The history of Barton's development was enough to answer this question. 'Herman' (trademark) was what allowed Barton to truly become a city. "I don't care about their work."
Zach raised an eyebrow, then why bring this up.
"I don't care about politics either!"
Zach's eyes tightened slightly, that's it! So this is ah! politics! This is why the whole thing needs to be kept secret! Metaphysically speaking, how could Patton let his local sign business just shut down! The actual question is. What to do with the suddenly tens of thousands of unemployed Barton citizens!
This is really a very, very bad time! Whether it is to the current mayor Anthony or his successor!
"The only thing I want is to get out of this city quickly and stay away from this ghost place..." Mr. Herman's eyes began to drift, and his speaking speed became slower and slower in his deep voice, and finally disappeared.
Zach opened his mouth, he wanted to say something like 'I'm sorry'. Why did Hermann want to leave the city he founded? ! Because it is this city that he spent most of his life cultivating. At the last moment, even his true son couldn't be protected!
reason? There is nothing rational about this kind of thing.
Zach realized that at this time, he, the guy who had fooled Herman, was no more qualified than anyone else to say comforting words, so Zach shut his mouth again.
"I didn't plan to do it too early." Mr. Herman's eyes returned to Zach. His tone also returned to calmness, "At least after autumn..."
Cue, hunters, executions. We all know that the anticipated events have no chance of coming true. this means-
The voice was so calm and cold, "Huh. There's no need to wait anymore."
Zach looked at Mr. Herman, who was across the desk, and shook his head. What he was thinking was, 'The aliens have really completely destroyed this iconic figure of Patton.' But what he said was, 'I still I didn’t hear anything related to the commission you mentioned in the first place.”
Forgive Zach, even if he knew all the truth, what could he do, tell Herman? I'm afraid Coleman will go faster!
Mr. Herman looked into Zach's eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his emotions again. When he exhaled, it was as if all his emotions were thrown away and turned into a mechanical statement, "I prepared a plan before. Officially, it is just a first draft, but it includes various measures when closing the factory, including employee buyouts, compensation, equipment transfers, and sales... "
Zach listened quietly. He didn't understand these details, but he could understand that this was a very important thing. The real commission is getting closer.
"Since there is no need to wait anymore, when I started to prepare to formally complete this plan, I found..."
"It's gone," Zach completed Herman's sentence.
"Not exactly." Mr. Herman stood up and walked to the office under Zach's gaze. He moved a mural and opened it to reveal the safe. "Most of them are still there. The only missing one is the one about employee dismissal. Relevant content.”
A thick stack of documents had been thrown in front of Zach.
But Zach was obviously not interested in this thing, because the important thing he just said was gone.
What Zach is interested in is Herman's safe! There are no signs of any damage.
"Safe code..."
"It was the time when Connor (Herman's son, the person Kyle accidentally killed, the person possessed by Ryan, the one burned to death by Ravenchi...) called daddy for the first time."
It's not any number with special meaning, just a random, lucky moment on a certain day, month, year, and year. Who would have thought!
Zach shut his mouth. Except for a certain mind-reader who tried to persuade Grande not to accept this commission, Zach really couldn't think of anyone who would have the ability to obtain such a string of passwords!
Zach stood up, waved to Benjamin, and seemed to be leaving.
"What are you doing?" Herman frowned. He hadn't finished speaking yet. No one would think that Herman didn't conduct his own investigation before turning to the gray professional circle for help! Some of the excluded information still needs to be told to Zach.
"The commission has been made clear." Zach smiled. The fact was that Zach didn't need to listen to anything else Herman said. The suspect was already very obvious in Zach's mind, "You forgot about Gran Are you behaving virtuously?"
Herman frowned and looked at Zach, how could he forget.
Zach pulled up Benjamin who was still wiping his mouth, "I already know what you want us to do, for two hours."
As if yesterday happened again, Zach smiled and said his last goodbyes, "I will contact you."
But we know that this is not yesterday happening again, the vampire is killing himself. (..)
