6 Acquaintances, phone calls

Early on Tuesday morning, after sending Little Pink to school with two young girls, Zach put out the sign that was closed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoActually, if it wasn't for yesterday's funeral, this sign would have been released yesterday. The reason for the closure is not a big deal, but the reason for the closure is that Saidil Security doesn't know where it came from, and it is a mental attack of 'everything for the sake of customers', and it is forcibly recommended that Grande upgrade its security measures, and a security alarm is also set up in the Grande House, free of charge.

Just as the construction of the living quarters in Austin was also coming to an end, Zach was persuaded by the elder Hank that perfect security measures could enhance Grande's competitiveness in attracting employees, as if Grande needed to be competitive, and anyway, Zach finally agreed. Zach, who didn't want to make more trouble, simply decided to close the business and got these things in order before opening.

When the security guards of the cemetery changed shifts in the morning, the security personnel of Saidil also came. It's still an acquaintance—Shepard, a veteran of the Ixton Tramps, just like Jessica. It's also a guy who has experienced twists and turns, remember, after being fished out of the homeless by Zack, he first went to the asylum under the guidance of Emilia, and then resigned and went to Saidil Security.

"Zach!" Shepard was visibly happy to be back at Grande, and Zach had basically completely rewritten his fate and given him a car!

"Shepard. Zach also responded with a smile, glancing at the truck that once belonged to Grande and is now sprayed with the Saidil logo, "You seem to have made this car work again, not bad~"

"Hehe! There is a subsidy for private cars!" replied in a simple way, "This car has enough space to transport equipment." ”

While Shepard and Zack were talking, the back compartment had been opened, and the security company began to move all kinds of equipment out, and the direction of the move was the staff living quarters of the Austin construction on the west side - the main building of Grande did not need more security measures, which was Zack's only insistence.

Zach nodded, didn't say anything, instructed Austin's gang to cooperate with the security company, and smiled and beckoned Shepard into the house, "How's it going?"

"It's good, it's good!" sounds true, but it's hard to judge what it actually is, after all, people who used to be homeless people probably can't be bad. After all, Shepard said that you can get a subsidy for public use with a private car, right, and really good people probably won't care about this subsidy.

Zach didn't go to the office, and led Shepard directly to the recreation room, so that the conversation was easier.

"Are you still used to working at Saidir?"

Zach came up, and Louise, who had been out of business, went down to work as an overseer.

"It's very good, my friend takes good care of me, transporting things, doing maintenance, running logistics, it's very easy. ”

Zach glanced out the window, and the backyard was completely busy, and suddenly, "What is the reason for this 'free upgrade'?"

Shepard's face was a little embarrassed, probably he didn't expect the reminiscence to end so soon.

To tell the truth, do you remember Saidir's attitude towards Grande, who hardly gave Zach any good looks, and since Grande paid them to hire them to protect the cemetery and signed a contract, it has always been like Grande owes them money. They often find a reason to complain to Zach when it's okay, such as why people who come to the cemetery don't register, and why North Park isn't in their scope of work...... To be honest, it is amazing that Sadil did not directly terminate the cooperation with Grande, free upgrades?

"Uh......" Shepard looked a little hesitant.

Zach smiled, "Come on, you can tell me that your friend (Boss Saidir) should know about your relationship with Grande, and if he wasn't ready to answer my questions, he shouldn't have sent you over, right?" ”

"Yes, you're right. Shepard pouted, "He does know you and me, and he knows that you, well, Grande are ......" still hesitating.

Let's sort it out. There should still be an impression that the original reason for Saidil's hostility to Grande - it was Zack's role in the Bishop Manor incident, although the result was that Zach helped Sedil withdraw Bishop's lawsuit against the security company, but the security company was also clearly aware that Zack was 'doing something' in the middle, and Zack's identity was not a simple funeral owner. Such a guy, looking for a security company to protect, Saidil is not hostile and funny.

Then there's Shepard, Zach once gave Shepard a test when he first brought him to Grande, remember, telling him that Grande had an extra money, which was beyond the scope of ordinary funeral home work, and Shepard politely refused - Zach didn't hide from Shepard about Grande's involvement in the gray profession.

So it's understandable for Shepard's hesitation now, it's not good for him to talk about Grande's gray professional identity as an employee of a security company.

Zach fully understood, smiled and waved his hand, "Let's just say it, we don't need to be subtle." ”

"Okay. Shepard nodded, "Actually, it's not Grande, and now all of our company's customers' security measures are being upgraded for free." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"Prevent customer churn. Shepard pursed his lips, "Aix has been gaining momentum lately, and it has already robbed us of many customers, so we have to do something on our side." ”

Therefore, providing customers with free upgrades is not a good strategy, but it is better than nothing. Zach nodded slightly, "Still, I don't think your company values Grande, my customer." If I were your boss, I would probably be fully focused on Puerto Massa and keeping Fischer as a big customer. ”

A very practical point of view, which, by the way, to this day has ceased to operate five cargo ships in the port of Massa - Papa did not lie at midnight, and if the republican laborers continue to come, they will continue to disappear, and with them, the property of the funeral industry, will continue to be stolen. But the latter is not what we need to care about right now, focus a little, Zach is talking about Massa Harbor.

"We've done what we can. Shepard was a little helpless, "All the people who can be sent have been sent to the port of Martha, and Fisher is also fully cooperating with us and the police, but there is no progress. No one knows who is stealing the goods......"

Here it needs to be explained. This is played by the people of the West District, Fisher now every time a ship enters the port, the goods carried will be falsely reported on the manifest, because it is a false report, so those goods do not exist, so when they enter the inspection, it is naturally 'stolen goods'. Then there was Fisher's initiative to report his stolen goods—to ask the reason for this? Director Darcy, who was almost tied up by Fisher in the port of Massa, was besieged every day to inquire about the progress of the theft of imported goods. Darcy continued to carry out the plan of the Demon Feast to finish off and kill Fisher?No, he is now being watched by the entire city of Barton to help Fisher solve the case. The people of the West End do things, and there is nothing to say.

At the same time, this is also the point that Zach wants to make, and that Sadir should now focus on Puerto Massa, which is the right way for the security company to deal with the competition in Aix - to hold on to the elephant leg of the West End family, not an inconsequential small customer like Grande.

“...... And now there is a trend of indiscriminate accountability on the Massa port side, and our company has begun to be affected, and the police are almost always stationed in the company to obtain our security records. Shepard shook his head, "My friend said it was worse than the last time Sharp Manor was indicted. So......" he glanced at Zach, "we might have to shift our business and start ......"

It means that the people of the West Side can't hold it, it's no longer competition, it's letting, and they can only care about customers like Grande.

Zach patted Shepard, there was nothing to comfort him, he changed his mood and smiled, "Then I'm grateful for this free upgrade." ”

"Oh yes. Shepard thought of something, "Before I came, my friend asked me to ask you about Mr. Rippert. ”

"No?" Zach raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. My friend said you are, yes...... Friends on that side. In terms of gray professions, Shepard still refrains from saying things that don't fit his identity, "I haven't heard from Ripett lately, and Barton can't find him, I want to ask you if you know where he went." ”

Grande was able to sign a contract with Seydir, thanks to No. But now is not the time to look back at the network of Patton's gray professionals. Zach raised an eyebrow, "Isn't No, at Barton? I'm sorry, I haven't seen him lately." ”

This is true, Zach didn't even attend the Bobo Bar party the day before yesterday and Sunday night, in order to avoid revealing Fisher's secrets when sharing information - in fact, it was also a move to reassure the people of the West End.

"Oh. Shepard didn't ask anything.

However, Zach frowned, thinking about it seriously, it seems that he has not been in contact with the gray profession for a long time, and the shared intelligence of the gray profession circle is still very useful for Barton's internal direction, and he needs to find an opportunity to reconnect.

Zach was also selected to help Grande's lawyer and identity businessman Steve Walker......

Uh, speaking of Steve, Sem's identity is settled, but the person is no longer there, forget it, don't mention it.

"Is there anything your friend is looking for? Zach was going to ask more, because the boss of the security company was looking for a promise at this time to do anything. What Noh can do, Zach can do better, and there is nothing to hide. What's more, how can I mend the relationship with Saidir from this opportunity, there is no harm, "Maybe I can ......"

The sound of a phone call came from the office, and Zach tilted his head, ready to ignore it for now, "Help." ”

Shepard wasn't stupid either, a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I don't know, I'm just helping him ask." After a moment's hesitation, he added, "I can reply, and if my friend needs it, he can go directly to you." ”

Zach laughed, Shepard is really a little persistent, just don't touch this kind of rubbing thing, this guy won't waste being a policeman.

Nodding, Zach motioned for Shepard to take it easy, while he went to the office to answer the phone.

That boring 'guess who's calling' game, I still have to play it. Zach has several candidates—Maddison, howling that the fuel has been stolen again, Eric, who is struggling with some inexplicable problem at home and needs to be solved, Fisher, who is ready to pay the balance of Grande, and Oz, who is telling the West End how to make the move. And finally, what Zach expects the most, Amilia. No matter how many instruments Zack has in his hands playing at the same time, making for a symphony that makes Jessica happy, Benjamin is definitely the one at the top.

Zach's expectations were met.

Or half satisfied-

"No!" Emilia on the other side of the receiver didn't confirm whether it was Zach who answered the phone, and began, "My answer, yes, no!!You want me to put my profession, my career, and my life in danger!!!For what?!For your personal desires?!No!"

"Ai ......"

"Shut up!" "How can you still have the face to use Harrison to do this!!Use his business (asylum) as a bargaining chip to manipulate him into making such a request to me!!despicable!!despicable!!"

"Amy......" Zach can really refute, is there anything wrong with Harrison's career using Zack's face, being used by Harrison, and then letting Zach use it in turn. But, Emilia is not an ordinary woman, is she the psychiatrist who is best at guiding, controlling the rhythm, and then mastering the other party's mental activities-

"Shut up! No! My answer is no! I won't help you! I won't listen to Harrison's nonsense of 'I need your help to say something to Mrs. Quinn'! Here is the fact - if the shelter is not open in the winter, the containment controlled by the Quinn Group will be a scandal to see the homeless people outside freezing to death or whatever! Mrs. Quinn wants to see this happen?! Your mayor's friend wants to see this happen?!No! So don't exaggerate how important your relationship with Mrs. Quinn is in the winter! We don't need to! The shelter doesn't need it!Harrison doesn't need to!!I don't need to listen to you!!"

Zach pouted at the earpiece, well, before he could even say the full name, he was completely in control - Emilia had just blocked Zach's only entry point. Emilia is right, Zach can get Emilia to help the bargaining chip is that Zach relies on his relationship with Mrs. Quinn to help Harrison, just like yesterday when it was determined that Harrison would not just drive away. But in the face of the facts, the chips are worthless.

The only thing that made Zach feel sorry was to say, 'Okay, excuse me, goodbye.' The reason for this is that Emilia did not hang up the phone after saying all this, but went over to the receiver to catch her breath. So Zach waited, waiting for the other party to calm down.

"Can I speak?" Zach asked tentatively.

"Hmph. "Say, I'd like to see what else you can pull out!"

"I need to apologize, I embarrassed Harrison. I'm sorry. ”

"That's what you're capable of? Tell me something I don't know!"

"Don't you want to see it, Mokawi, a woman who has been crazy for thousands of years, a woman who is married to a landscape painting, a woman who paints anything inexplicably. Zach was playing with the phone line, wrapping his fingers in circles, and his tone was ...... Unexpected briskness, "I mean, I have all respect for your profession, your career, and you are a very respectable professional professional. And, of course, the safety of your life. But, I mean, well, aren't you curious, as a professional ......?"

Smack!

Probably, it worked. (To be continued.) )
