When Zach returned to Grande, he felt deserted. In fact, it was just a psychological effect. It was just that there was no Alpha Benjamin in the hammock in the backyard to educate the young wolf Matthew on how to effectively kill other species. But Zach just felt like something was missing.
When I returned to the office, I looked at the clock that never stopped swinging. It was already past six o'clock. It's Alice Lockdown 'Cooking Kitchen' time.
Zach first got himself a glass of wine to replenish his afternoon consumption, and sat behind his desk. Louise placed some documents on the table, which were reports on the funeral arrangements for Jackson at Bishop's house tomorrow. Zach flipped through it casually, and Louise's report was very, well, very interesting—
Because the report was divided into two parts, one was in the name of Bishop, and the other was in the name of Mrs. Bishop, oh no, I got the 'wrong' title, it should be in the name of Ms. Sher...
Zach shook his head with a wry smile and pushed the report aside. Part of the reason was that Zach wasn't very interested in it. He was expected to go to the Republic at that time, so the full-time work of Grande had to be left to Louise and Danny. Another reason is that Zach feels a little sad that during this period, his luck with women is a bit bad!
Emilia's dislike is understandable, but the female assistant named Nasha is a bit inexplicable. Now thinking about Ms. Sher's constant complaints about Zach and Louise's relationship, Zach is very helpless! Please stay away from the funeral tomorrow.
Zach spread out a stack of pages on the table, which was the one Anthony gave and showed to Amelia. While he was alone and quiet, Zach wanted to define some things.
Our vampire found a document cover, put the pages in, took the stapler, and clicked twice. Thought it was over? No.
Zach picked up the pen, the pen tip still a little away from the new cover. Zach pursed his lips, hesitated no longer, started writing, and wrote four words, 'Barton's bottom'.
Qualitatively completed.
Confused? No need to wonder. The actual content of this report was narrated in an Indian voice to the current mayor Anthony. The real value of the documents they had to collect due to all the troubles Ian got into in Barton thirteen years ago did not lie with Ian.
It's about the mess that the Indians had to clean up for Ian everywhere.
For example, one thing we all know is the last mess the Indians cleaned up for Ian! This is not the only time Hermann's factory was stolen. Thirteen years ago, it was stolen from him. The missing documents were documents on Hermann's acquisition of valuable military materials to build civilian vehicles during the war!
There is also an example of what Hank Sr. mentioned to Zach about seeing Red-Eyed Ian for the first time. He is performing a cleaning commission for some West Ender!
In addition to these two examples, there are many, many more. As I said before, this stack of paper is very thick!
It's already obvious, right? The mess that Ian caused has a clear goal! Barton's senior figures at the time! Toledo, who had poor skills and was abandoned by his father and brothers, spent three months in Barton, recklessly uncovering the dirtiest things in the city one by one!
Barton was lifted from his foundation by Ian at that time! From the bottom.
The only sadness. It can only be said that Ian failed to convey these hopeless filthiness to Zach and Anthony who came here three years later. Let them take root in this extremely bad city in a confused way!
But now, there is no point in experiencing this sadness, the roots have already been taken root. So what else does this document mean? Remember the bitterness and think of the sweetness? Oh, don’t be so naive! The value of this document is far higher than this meaningless soul cleansing!
Why? Because Barton’s dirty affairs from thirteen years ago are being washed away! Don't jump to any positive conclusions so quickly. Read on.
Zach gently blew over the four words he had just written, waved his hand to drive the airflow to dry the ink quickly, and curled up the corners of his mouth in a slightly relaxed mood.
Ian, this Toledo who has been 'reduced' to Papa's midnight follower, finally provides some value to Zach!
think about it. What is the focus of Grande's commission? Mrs Queen has delivered, on the third generation of WestEnders! Those who have raised Barton City are ready to hand over a clean family to this third generation!
Grande will not participate in their struggle for interests. Grande's job is to help these third-generation people take over the whitewashed West End family!
Well, this is a very simple question. If you are just a salesperson of second-hand real estate, your task is just to hand over the key to the success of the property to the new owner. When you show these new owners around their new homes, will you introduce the fireplace that once burned a guest to death
No, you'd say, "The previous owner loved the fireplace, so it's a bit old. I'll tell the old owner to fix it up."
In other words, this is the biggest bargaining chip of Zach, a little salesman! After being vague to the new owner, he would say to the original owner of the property with a smile, "I found that there are some problems with your original fireplace. It seems that there are some things in it that should not have been left thirteen years ago. You need me to deal with it." For a moment?"
Is the commission on the sale Zac's payment for the extra work? Oh, of course not! Right now, appropriate compensation is needed, such as, "The mayoral election is just around the corner!"
Look, everything is so convenient! With Anthony's birth, background, and current situation, there is no way or reason to use the 'dirty' things that happened thirteen years ago as bargaining chips? But Zach, who is in the gray professional circle, has every reason! It was still at this time that Anthony began to disclose his relationship with Grande (the meeting was officially put on the mayor's agenda today)! That’s all the more reason!
This is the value of this document, which was sent to Zach by Anthony at this time!
So Zach is in a good mood!
All Zack needs to do when the next WestEnders commission comes is to use the commissioner's surname as an index to find a relevant old 'fireplace' in this thirteen-year-old 'Barton Bottom' treasure! Everything will fall into place!
While Zach was thinking happily, Louise pushed open the side door of the office.
"I just said I heard you were back." Louise noticed that Zach seemed to be in a good mood, and smiled a little, then looked a little unnatural, "Are you in a good mood? In the afternoon, the North (Herman Factory) The incident (explosion) in Grande Norte was not our fault, right?"
Louise used 'we', obviously counting Zach, the whole Grande and herself as one, a clever way of expression.
But Zach immediately twitched his lips and was reminded of an unpleasant incident, plus the bad incident between Amelia and Brian, it was two things. Zach shook his head, a little helpless, "No."
Louise nodded as if relieved, but the uneasiness on her face still did not disappear, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.
"What's wrong?"
"Two things." Louise consciously walked behind Zach and squeezed Zach's shoulders, with a distressed look on her face, "Alice or tomorrow's funeral, which one do you want to hear first?" (...)
