"You don't need to be here to experience life with me." Zach paid a little attention to Smith's clothing. He is also a person who pays attention to clothing. Zach can see that Smith's current clothing is more work-oriented, simple and capable without any decorations or accessories. , on the weekend, it was such an occasion again, and I seemed a bit out of place.
Zach didn't want to drive Smith away, but just reminded him that if he had work, he didn't need to sit with him. We were all so familiar with each other, so he didn't need to care about these courtesy.
"I hope I have other things to do now." Smith took the wine from Nuo with a helpless tone. "It just seems like I'm a little late. It's rare to meet you and have a chat on such an occasion." It's pretty good." Smith looked at Zach and smiled, "You don't mind."
Zach tilted his head and said, "Of course not." Let's continue with what the other party mentioned. Before the topic becomes serious, "A little late? Are you looking for someone?" We should know, since these two people We met here by chance, and we were bound to talk about the death of Daisy’s boyfriend.
"Well." Smith didn't seem to mind the casual questioning, "One..." He was thinking about the wording, "I hope he is a partner rather than an opponent."
Zach raised his eyebrows and gave a look that said, "I'm a little guy from the South Side, I can't understand the lives of you big guys from the West Side." He raised his glass and wasted alcohol.
"Haha." Smith took a big sip and pointed at the cup, really treating Nuo as a bartender. "It's nothing to tell you." Smith glanced at Zach and smiled, "Don't worry, it won't be you. Interest conflicts that I don’t want to touch." Smith pondered for a moment, "You know the old site of the Hermann factory. The mayor is re-planning the construction plan. Because there is no precedent in Barton, he invited people from Newton to do the evaluation... "
Zach and Nuo looked at each other, could it be such a coincidence
What a coincidence. Coincidentally, the three people here at this time are inseparable from each other, yes. Including No.
Smith continued, "I intend to take over several old buildings from the factory to use, haha." He looked at Nuo without blinking an eye, "to make up for the missing parts of one of my projects caused by the failure of negotiations with Quest in the previous summer. "
This is a public place after all, and Smith couldn't speak more clearly. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and figure out what Smith was talking about—
Why did Smith control Quist's brother and his wife in the nursing home? In order to buy some of the agricultural trade channels of Quest's Daq Supermarket from Quest. What to do next? The raw material for legalizing something.
How did that incident end? With Zach and No cooperating, a fire breaks out in the sanatorium, sending Quest's brother and his wife out of Barton. The result is that Smith's current negotiations have broken down, and he has no channel to buy Quist.
Smith said in advance, 'It won't be some interest dispute that Grande doesn't want to touch.' What he means is that you have already touched upon it, and this is the follow-up. This time I’ll tell you in advance, so don’t make trouble.
Zach and No looked at each other. Blinking, he laughed awkwardly without knowing what expression to put on. Zach spoke first, "The old factory building sounds good. It's much better than the original open farmland in the South District."
Smith also smiled, "Indeed. There is the original framework of the old factory, and I can also transfer it to the warehouse basement in Port Massa. There have been continuous accidents in the warehouse this year..." Smith paused and gave Zach a you know expression.
Do know, recording incident. In addition to the warehouse fire, this is a private industry that cannot be made public, and there are many problems in maintaining it.
"Things always find a way out. None of us could have imagined that Herman's departure would leave such available resources." Smith continued and raised his glass.
Well, who would have thought.
But immediately, Smith shook his head again and sighed, "But maybe it's too late now. This proposal came to my ears too late. I have missed the official schedule of the Newton assessor these days. It is said that It was his last day at Barton and I was probably going to miss it completely."
It's hard to tell, but Mr. Newton's room card, which was exchanged for Susan's "rogue", is still in Zach's pocket.
"Let's not talk about this. I just came here to give it a try and didn't have much expectations." When Zach was still hesitating, Smith spoke again and smiled at Zach, "I just saw you walking away from here. Yes, ma'am." The smile was a bit strange.
Susan? Zach didn't understand the meaning of this weird smile for the time being, and raised his eyebrows, "You know him?"
"Haha, not really." Smith leaned slightly closer to Zach, as if he wanted to reveal something, "But don't worry, I won't make any announcements. After all, you are here to experience life, haha."
Zach understood, and also realized something, "I think you misunderstood something, Smith."
"Haha, no need to explain, we are all men."
"You seem to know that the lady is an 'escort'." Zach smiled, which was good. The misunderstanding and hesitation were solved together, "but you don't seem to know who she is working for."
Smith frowned while sipping his wine, put down his glass, and looked at Nuo in bartender attire again, "So you are indeed here for official business." It was rare, but Smith's first reaction was not to pry, but to realize that he was really The interruption disturbed Zach, "I shouldn't continue to occupy your..."
Zach smiled and held down Smith who stood up to leave, and took out the key card from his chest pocket. "The business is over. I wasn't lying when I said I was experiencing life." He pushed out the key card, "This is where it started. The room card was intercepted from the hand of an escort girl. Do you want to guess who this room card belongs to?"
Smith looked at the key card, then at Zach, frowning, probably thinking quickly. Zach had made it very clear that an escort who seemed to be working for someone else had obtained someone's room card for some purpose, and it was intercepted by Zach and Nuo.
If this information appeared in other situations, Smith probably would never have thought of the answer, but please put it in context and it couldn't be clearer.
"Newton evaluator." Smith's eyes stopped on the key card that was pushed between the two of them, and then frowned, "I probably shouldn't ask, this is your official business, but..." Smith nodded hesitantly. Wine glass, "You guys. Whose (commission) are you executing..."
If Smith still has plans for those old factories in the future, then the people who entrusted Zach and Nolai with official business are likely to be his future competitors. This logic is easy to figure out. So he asked anyway.
"Smith, don't be like this. I still have to uphold my professional ethics. Ask another question that I can answer easily." Zach interrupted directly. Sometimes it is very convenient to create misunderstandings, such as now, "For example, who does that escort work for to get close to this gentleman in Newton?" This guidance has been clear and cannot be made clear anymore.
Smith answered, frowning and nodding, "Who?"
"Esera." Zach replied simply, pushing the key card in Smith's direction again.
Smith's reaction was a bit surprising, "Why?" What do you mean? He probably didn't know it himself, but he actually lowered his head. She frowned and thought seriously, and said to herself at the same time. Although her voice was low, she didn't alert Zach, "If the information I got is correct, Aisela and her husband have been in contact with this evaluator for a few days here. Formal contact, because of previous acquisitions, they serve as a reference party for the value of the Hermann factory. There are always opportunities to negotiate... "
"It's not if, it's correct." Zach thoughtfully helped Smith think. "Because I have the same information report. Of course, I can't tell you where it came from." It was sent by the police. Haha, can this be told to Smith? ! As I just said, misunderstanding is a very convenient thing. "But as you can see, Nuo and I still showed up here and intercepted a key card that would trigger informal contact."
Commission for Cologne. On Smith's side, it had been completely disguised as another commission by Zach. This is a commission that Smith will not reject or hesitate at all.
Smith quickly took the key card and looked at Zach, "Aisela, right?"
Zach nodded, "Esera."
Quinn and Smith both support Anthony, so there is no need to explain anything more.
Smith was silent for a while after accepting the key card. Zach thought that this strangely serious conversation would make Smith no longer want to continue chatting with him here, and immediately went to Mr. Newton's place, but Zach was wrong. Smith sighed inexplicably and nodded his empty glass again at Nuo, "Don't stop."
Zach raised his eyebrows and reminded him, "Well, in your current state, are you still suitable to go find this gentleman from Newton? I thought he would leave tomorrow, and today is your only chance."
"Yes." Smith actually curled his lips, and his tone returned to helplessness, "Hey, it's the only chance, so I probably have to wait a while before going up." Then he smiled bitterly at Zach, "I can't When the other party is expecting a beautiful lady to open the door." Pointing to himself, "Then I'll walk in."
Zach blinked, couldn't help it, and smiled, "It seems so."
"Uh..." Smith continued to sip his wine and shook his head, "Let the other party cool down his expectations, and I also need to think carefully about how to talk to him. For someone like me who talks about work with the other party in the morning at the last time, probably The most annoying thing, I need to think about it."
Zach was inexplicably blessed and thought of something else, "That's right, why did you come here just now, so passively? I remember that the re-planning of the Hermann factory has been reported in newspapers and news for a few days. You Smiths It should be very easy to be willing to participate.”
Is Zach concerned about Smith's career? How can it be.
"This..." Smith's expression began to become reluctant, and he curled his lips. This was the first time Zach saw this expression on the face of the head of the Smith family, whose conversation and behavior were similar to his own, "You should have heard of it. Some news, my sister is back."
Yes, that's what Zack cares about, Rimmer.
"Between us..." Smith probably didn't want to talk about this topic, "there were some differences about the family business." But he also knew that the other party was Zach. It didn't matter whether he said it or not, there were Kepler, Laura, and Alice. That small circle is here (the three of them were still shopping today, remember, I don’t know if they are back now), and there is really no need to hide his family affairs from a gray professional like Grande, "So there are some things I was deliberately... excluding her from participating. This was her proposal, a great proposal, but because of my selfishness, I have only now allowed it to be excluded and accepted."
Smith glanced at Zach with a wry smile, "What I mean by 'talent' is that at dinner an hour ago, I had to listen to my sister talking at the dinner table, and then I heard this proposal." Smith shook his head again, really helpless. .
Zach understood that it was indeed the case, raised his glass and raised it towards Smith, "At least you listened, it's not too late." The real idea is that Eve and Lidia have taken the first step.
And we should also be clearer about one thing, who pushed this first step, it was Alpha Benjamin.
Smith just mentioned that if Smith can take over the Hermann Factory building and cooperate with the project promoted by Mrs. Quinn to start to be effective, Smith's underground private industry can become public or semi-public. Then the original shelves of the Hermann factory will be used to integrate planting, manufacturing and shipping. At most, it will only require digging a few more basements. With the proper protective cover above, everything will be much easier. The original warehouse under the Port of Marsa is completely If covert operations cannot be made public, they can be completely discarded.
So there is a real focus. Who wants to see the original warehouse abandoned? It's obviously not the demon Crowley who took over one of Smith's warehouses. It was after Benjamin reminded her that Crowley was unhappy and caressed Eve Rimmer, who was in her own property.
Smith's current self-blame for rejecting his sister is probably unnecessary. This proposal may have been brainstormed by the three Rimmers today. Smith is destined to be late.
"Okay." Smith actually smiled, "I feel much better after saying it, haha, of course, there is no way I can admit in front of my sister that I am worried that I didn't listen to her earlier." Smith greeted Nuo and gave Zaha Ke also added wine and raised the glass, "Also, I want to thank you." He patted his chest, and there was a key card on the inside, "You helped me a lot, hehe..."
What he said next surprised Zach.
"Then I won't care about your little prank this morning." Smith winked.
"What?" Zach asked immediately, surprised and confused.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. I really don't care, but you did me a favor. I've always been disgusted with my employees stealing my interests. This time, people came over and found out..."
"Slow down," Zack interrupted Smith, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Smith looked into Zach's eyes and realized that it was not an act, and frowned, "In the morning, you said that one of my employees died in the bathtub at home."
Zach nodded, "Yes. And the witness at the scene and the informant is still living in Grande." Daisy.
"Well -" Smith pursed his lips. He couldn't feel Zach joking, "You were deceived. He is not dead. He is alive and well. He is using the goods that should have been sent to xx state and were disposed of. ”
Department, dealt with it? Referring to people who have harmed Smith's interests, such as Dylan, they should be killed.
Zach was also looking at Smith and didn't notice that the other party was joking. He stood up and said, "It's a pleasure chatting with you. I have something else to do now. Goodbye." (.)
