After breakfast on Monday, Louise went back to her room. She was matching outfits that reflected a strong woman. Believe me, Louise has a lot of 'strong woman' equipment, whips, gloves, ropes... But these things are definitely not suitable for appearing in places other than the bedroom, let alone the Grande reception room. Oh no, today's reception room is an interview room.
After all, it was too much to ask Matthew to complete a less formal social task. In the afternoon, he sent back more than thirty contact information for job seekers! Even more! This is how he explained it -
"My father, Xuan, showed off too much... He was heard by some priests, and they also started to enlighten those who would lose their part-time jobs in Grande... "
So Zach expected those who asked for jobs to quit, but not only did it not happen, it also turned into—
"The pastor said this is a good deed, which will be seen by the Holy Lord and will bless kind people. Please help these unemployed people..."
Therefore, people who were originally too embarrassed to come to ask for help from Matthew, bathed in the kindness of the Holy Lord, put their contact information in his hands.
Grande was tricked by Crowley.
Louise came out of the room, even wearing glasses, "How was it?" She turned around and showed the smart female professional suit in front of Zach.
Zach smiled and nodded, "Yes, but..." He reached out and took off his ridiculous glasses. Although Zach didn't mind the role-playing, he still didn't need it outside the bedroom. Louise was very good and didn't need it. Some of these are useless decorations.
"No." Louise actually reached out and put her glasses back, "When rejecting, it's easier to conceal your emotions with glasses." Yes, interviewees who come to Grande with hopes will go back with disappointment. . This is Grande. Not really an ideal place to work.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Do you think it's a pity?" Zach smiled and shook his head, "Unemployment is very common, and looking for a job is also the most common thing. Being rejected is nothing to feel sorry for."
"I know." Louise tilted her head and raised her eyebrows at Zach. This expression was even worse, "It's just that Grande received a check from Herman with a random amount..." Louise said as she walked towards the office, "Although it has nothing to do with these people, but..." She didn't need to finish her sentence. , Zach already understands it, and I hope everyone understands it too.
Where can unemployed people come from? There were only two major economic events in Barton City: Smith's acquisition of Yuri a little long ago, which was a serious corporate acquisition carried out for improper reasons. No one lost their job because of this, most people changed jobs. The second incident was the explosion of Hermann's factory.
Hermann had just left Patton. He had completely abandoned the rotten metal field of the factory and left cleanly. This also meant that the explosion was over. Closing refers to things like workers’ compensation and appeasement.
From the time of the explosion, Herman took full responsibility, to the buyout contract with the mill to arrange the funeral arrangements of the deceased, and finally to give the employees' families and friends some time to adjust. It's time now too. It was time for those factory workers to realize that they had to start looking for new jobs.
These are the people who will swarm in need of work at this time. That is. People who come to Grande for interviews.
What Louise meant was simple. Zach accepted Herman's check, and no one knew what Zach was going to do to Aisela. Well, and there's a half chance of doing nothing - Anthony won't let it. The other half is what Lip hints at that may or may not happen—Asera needs to be taken out early, so the chance of Zack doing something, 20%? It must also be done in secret.
So Zach held that Herman's check, which was entrusted to Aisela, was in vain. At least he could help these people who were once Herman. They are really poor people.
"Louise." Zach was still smiling, "You don't really think that Grande is helping them by recruiting a few people. Even if Grande recruits people, it can't recruit all the workers of Herman. Moreover. "Zach shook his head, "Do you think it's really good for a few ordinary employees to appear in Grande?"
Do you think that the philosophical issue of the relationship between humans and alien races will unfold between these two people? How can it be. Louise is not that stupid.
Louise rolled her eyes at Zach, "Who said you were going to be in Grande?" She had already entered the office, "The report I wrote yesterday, and the interview questions..." She picked up the paper on the desk. A stack of documents, "You didn't read it at all."
Zach glanced at the document in Louise's hand and pursed his lips, "I was enlightening Jackson, so I forgot..." I'll talk about this later. Didn't Laura come for lunch yesterday? It has something to do with that.
Louise waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, I'll tell you the same thing now." She pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Zach. It was a report, "Summer is already halfway over, and autumn is about to enter, Glenn Germany’s previous model no longer works.”
Zach looked at the table. The very specific content was the annual maintenance expenses for the cemetery during the ten years of operation of South District Grande. This is a formal statement, right? There is a popular saying that, in addition to hiring surrounding farmers during the funeral, the usual expenses of pulling weeds, repairing fences, cleaning roads in Grande's cemetery...are the expenses of hiring people.
The curve on the table dropped sharply after vampires and werewolves took over Grande. At that time, Grande, which was surviving on government funds, did not have the spare money to do such beautifying things all the time.
The curve starts to repeat after that, and here's the key point - in the fall, expenses drop to zero, continue into the winter, there will be a rebound before the New Year, and then fall back, and slowly return to normal starting in the spring.
Of course, this year's curve is quite special. There was a sharp rise at the beginning of the year - for Mr. Quinn's funeral. Then it started to level off. Grande began to hire farmers regularly to maintain the cemetery - there was more money. Of course, the focus is still on the above paragraph.
Zach frowned and thought for a moment, not understanding, "What do I want to see?"
Louise's second eye roll appeared, "Zach, autumn, harvest season." Louise reminded our vampire as much as possible, "Those farmers are not in the mood to worry about extra money. They have their own fields. busy!"
The answer has come out, but our vampire still shook his head. He frowned, and the vampire's head short-circuited in a strange place, "Really? Autumn Grande also held a funeral. Those farmers still came."
The third rolled his eyes, "Because the funeral only takes a day, or even half a day, the crops will not be damaged because of half a day of neglect, but the maintenance of the tomb area is the same as maintaining the fields for them. It is a time-consuming and energy-consuming job."
Only then did Zach understand, and twitched his lips, "So the winter break in the winter, and then the promotion before the New Year, are just the last extra money during the winter break."
Louise nodded. Fortunately, the vampire's otherworldly mind still has a keen insight into human nature. "Yes, so we are really going to be short of people. It didn't matter before. Anyway, there are not many worthy people in the tomb area." Tombs that people care about..." It's not a good idea to say this, but it can only be said so straightforwardly, "Now, there are the Quinn family, Herman's, Bishop's... We are also described as the only traditional funeral industry. …”
Zach smiled bitterly and said, "Our cemetery cannot look like what it used to be." This was what Mrs. Quinn and Zach saw when they first sat in a car and chose a cemetery. But Zach remained hopeful. "Hank..."
was interrupted.
"I asked Hank." Louise's face looked a little helpless. "He said it was before you. He and Old Grande are at least the owners of Grande Funeral Home (which has a branch in the West District). We can transfer people from West Grand to help with maintenance, but now..." Louise shook her head, "We can only rely on ourselves."
"So, what do you think?" Zach has understood, and it seems that he is among the people interviewed today. There will be a few lucky guys who stay, but they will definitely not work in Grande, they will go to the cemetery!
"For the three cemeteries in the east, west and south, we need to recruit at least two maintenance staff for rotation in each cemetery." The North Cemetery was of course ignored. Louise handed Zach a questionnaire, which was an interview question. "I will ask them if they have accommodation. Grande does not provide accommodation. Then we also need a tombkeeper, this..."
Zach has seen a question that leaves people speechless. Are you afraid of the dark when you are alone? What if there are cemeteries all around
"You mean the security guard." Zach corrected Louise, whose wording was too contemporary. "The graves of several families in Grande are too conspicuous. As the only traditional funeral industry, they are no longer part of the government. (privatization) of public resources, we need these configurations.”
Louise probably didn't know how she came up with such a word. She blushed and nodded, "Actually, I thought of this last time when you and Jason signed the insurance policy, but I don't know how to mention it, old man. I have never experienced the privatization of the funeral industry, and I don’t know how to deal with it.”
Zach was inexplicably distracted. When he mentioned security, he thought of a person, No. Not mentioning it for now, Zach returned the interview questions to Louise, "There is no need to ask about the security issues today. You can see if there are any suitable candidates to maintain the tomb area. It would be okay to find a few more." Zach Smiling, he reached out and took off Louise's glasses, "I agree to recruit people, you don't need to bring this..."
Just like before, Louise took the glasses back again and rolled her eyes, "You also said that Grande can't recruit everyone, I still have to reject people!" That's right, "I won't tell you anymore." Louise He glanced at the clock in the office. At nine o'clock, the interviewers had already arrived one after another. "I'm going down. Do you want to see the interviewers?"
"No, I'm going to help Alice."
Both of them had their own arrangements, so they went downstairs in both directions, Zach went to the kitchen.
Except for Louise, everyone from Grande is here, including two alien souls. Ryan was still tirelessly telling the tragic story of how he was burned to death in order to slander and discredit Laura, hoping that Jackson would change his mind. But this time, Jackson wasn't very impatient. "Okay, Ryan, stop talking, I've decided to go. You can't live without Grande and can't get out. Do you blame me?"
Ryan glared at Zach who came in. Jackson's determination was naturally due to our vampire's enlightenment. Ryan's translucent face twitched and flickered a few times before disappearing.
Alice is making small but large snacks with the help of others in preparation for a press conference at Parker Elementary School Nursery. Yes, press conference, Laura came yesterday for this matter.
Don't worry, nothing bad happened at the nursery that needed to be reported to the media, on the contrary, it was a success. The success of the nursery also represents the success of the joint efforts of the third generation of the West District. Naturally, this press conference was not created by Laura, but by the public relations of the adults behind these children.
Regardless of the reasons why the third generation of the West District started this project, the result is that this is equivalent to a public welfare project they implemented during the summer. Now that the summer vacation is over, it is going on in full swing. How could we not publicize the success of the third generation of the West End, who have joined together for the first time to appear on the social stage of Barton
And the reason why Laura came was with girlish sentimentality.
Recreating yesterday's scene, she looked at the empty place pointed by Alice and said -
"Jackson, when I started this project, I had no idea that we 'parents' children' (this is what Laura calls herself and the third generation of their West End) could actually do this well. It was obvious not long ago that We were still listening to our parents talk about... bad... things at each other's homes. I really didn't expect that we could accomplish something well...
The theme of this press conference is that all of us, the children of parents, will be commended as a group. But I know that one of us is missing, Jackson. In fact, apart from Blake, I know that the most promising among us and the most deserving of the honor should be you. Uh, you also know what Kepler and I are like in normal times, what my brother Kyle is like, needless to say, the Falcon siblings, we... forget it, you all know... I always feel, well, Uncomfortable, this doesn’t seem like something we deserve…
I think if you can, you should also come to the press conference. I really hope you can come, I will feel more comfortable... Um, although only five people know that you are there, oh, Blake said that there will be six, but … Forget it, anyway, come on, if we, my peers, are going to appear as a collective, I hope you can come and be with us…
Alice, did he agree? "
Still in this restored scene, Zach smiled and leaned on the handrail of the stairs, looking at Jackson who was flashing when Laura said 'a collective appearance', with the edges of his cyan translucent body beating and floating down, " I think you should go."
"I won't go." He continued to drift away.
So, when Louise passed by Zach with a pile of materials and said, 'I'll compile a report for you later,' Zach nodded without paying attention and followed behind Jackson, "You Should go, do you want to hear my reasons for making a decision? First of all, Jackson..."
All, and I mean all, conversations that begin with 'first' followed by 'name' are not a good sign. So, when he was annoyed by the vampire and began to miss the bored Blake, Jackson agreed. (.)
