Sunday, when the traditional funeral industry was once prosperous, was the only holiday for funeral workers. Because the church on this day belongs to the Lord and His followers, not to the corpse.

But anyway, our Grande has not experienced this kind of prosperity, and this day, like every day of Grande, is quiet and leisurely...... Oh no, Grande is not idle today, because Zach, at the urging of old Hank, contacted the people of the renovation company, and Grande's renovation will officially start today.

As a preparation, everyone got busy early in the morning, occupied Benjamin's warehouse, which was vacated anyway, and moved all the things in Grande's original office, reception room, exhibition hall, and room on the second floor to make room for the construction team.

Oh yes, I need to mention that Zach didn't find a chance to grab Kyle yesterday and ask him why he was interested in Alice. After Lola 'completely' spontaneously proposed the public welfare plan of Parker Elementary School, she grabbed Kyle and Kepler to discuss it seriously, and after having lunch with a group of hired farmers, she ordered Alice's small cake in the name of public welfare, and then hurried back to the West End to make arrangements.

Zach estimates that he will be able to get feedback from the West End today.

The construction team arrived on time, and as soon as Grande emptied all the debris on the long side of the L-shaped building, they drove a big truck into Grande's backyard.

Before everyone could say goodbye to the former Grande, the workers rushed into the room with hammers and steel drills and began to dismantle them.

The only construction crew that made Zach remember his name was the guy named Austin. He seems to be a small man, and he personally issued a goal for today's work, which is a simple word, dismantle-

The original two walls from the exhibition hall to the office, the perpendicular correspondence to this part of the room on the second floor, and the ceiling separating the first and second floors (Grande's new layout is in Volume XVIII. Chapter 14).

When the chaotic roar came from inside Grande and a group of workers were busy working, Austin ran out empty-handed, and stood next to Zach who was standing bored at the door of Benjamin's warehouse with a smile, "Last time, I suggested a new staff dormitory. Mr. Grande, what are you thinking about?"

Remember, after the Grande layout is completely changed, the space used for employees to live will be greatly reduced, leaving only a few rooms on the L-shaped short side, and the corresponding first floor is the location of the kitchen and dining room, which is enough to accommodate the current Grande, but if Zach wants to recruit new people, there will be no space.

The guy suggested Zach. Construction of separate dormitories on vacant land in the Grande.

Zach still didn't give him an accurate answer, "Not yet, but I'll contact you if I need to." ”

Austin smiled and didn't continue to ask, until he started chatting and casually asking about some gossip, such as. "At Bisharp's funeral yesterday, I heard that a lot of powerful people arrived at ......"

Zach followed the other party's curiosity. Talk about the little things about the West End and Barton's big names, such as the Sharp family's stinky face the whole time, Queen's Poch Quinn didn't come, Mayor Anthony was very imposing as rumored, and Pixar wore an old dress (the lonely owner of Pixar's department, Jackson deliberately asked Zach to ask Falken. But Zach ignored it......

Austin listened very well, but Zach had nothing to be happy about, because the 'little things' he said at this time were all he had gained at yesterday's funeral! Taken away by Falken......

When Zach began to find no gossip to satisfy Austen's interest, it was very convenient for Grande to come to the guest.

Zach frowned as he watched the black 'Herman Lengthen' (car) move into Grande's backyard with a clattering noise, patted Austin on the shoulder, motioned for him to leave, and walked over to the guest.

"Mr. Herman. Zach grabbed the handle of the car door, slowly pulled it open, stood beside the car with a calm face, and nodded to the acquaintance who got out of the car sideways. Regardless of whether the intention is good or evil, etiquette should be done first.

The open car door let out the smell of alcohol, and Herman, who had abnormally flushed skin, glanced at Zack, the corner of his eyes twitched, turned around and sat back again, directly pulled the whiskey bottle in the keg next to the car seat, took a sip, and then slowly moved his body to get out of the car again, leaned crookedly against the body, stared at Zack, didn't say anything, and a newspaper was stuffed into Zack's arms.

Zach pursed his lips, unfolded the newspaper directly, and flipped to the social section, and as expected, the front page occupied the entire page, "Major Accident at Hermann Factory, Casualties Compensation Agreement".

Zach wasn't interested in reading the content, but did a quick scan, looking for what he wanted to focus on. Do you know what Zach is going to look at? Hint, it's numbers. Zach was looking at the casualty statistics of this human social city, and whether it was accurate enough to match the count of the demon's earthbound spirits......

The results are gratifying. The numbers are accurate, the death toll in the explosion has been confirmed, which matches the numbers Mike said, but the ...... is being treated It's still growing. I was wrong and shouldn't have used the word gratification. But, forget it, I will.

Zach didn't quite understand Herman's intention to throw him the newspaper, "Mr. Herman, what is this?"

"Are you blind?!" Herman grabbed the wine bottle and leaned against his car door to maintain his balance, "Can't you see the words casualty compensation?!"

Zach frowned and looked at Herman seriously, the guy who had never felt like an old man looked very tired and miserable at this time. And the important thing is that Herman doesn't seem to have the feeling of coming to Grande to settle accounts at this time, didn't this guy realize what Grande did before? Or did this guy selectively forget what he did to Grande?!

Look, the renovation of the Grand is underway......

Speaking of renovations, Zach turned his head to look at the side door on Grande's back porch, where Austin who was peeping on the side retracted his head.

Zach shook his head and walked past Herman, the smell of alcohol indicating that every cell in the guy's body was immersed in alcohol, which made his body unusually heavy. But it didn't matter to Zach, so he easily pulled Herman up and walked towards the warehouse.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Herman, but as you can see, Grande's office is being occupied. Please come here. ”

Herman's body was stopped by Zack, his flushed face turned back, and he glanced at the main building of Grande, which was trembling slightly in the roar, and snorted heavily, "It's best to demolish." ”

Zach frowned and glanced at Herman. Shaking his head, he didn't respond to anything. But it's clear that Herman didn't have selective amnesia, and he wasn't stupid enough to realize what Grande had done. Then his intention to come here made Zach even more confused.

All of Grande's staff are now in Benjamin's warehouse. Well, there weren't a lot of them, just Louise, Alice, and Old Hank.

The first to come over to help Herman was Louise, but she seemed to be drunk and frowned subconsciously. Unexpectedly, this small action seemed to annoy Herman. Left and right brutally pushed away Zach and Louise, who were supporting him, "Don't help!

After two steps, the old man tilted to the side of the haystack, and after a pop, he struggled twice, and his delicate formal suit was covered with dry straw stalks, and he barely put on a 'sitting' posture.

Zach waved his hand, wanting to apologize to the others for the time being. Ask for a private space for the conversation and let others avoid it for a while. But he doesn't need to ask, to know. Some people have repeatedly emphasized that they want to be involved in everything that Zach does!

It's old Hank! This strange old man shook the carpentry planer in his hand! Full of disgust, his tone was the same as Hong Zhong's roar, "Why can't you be quiet anywhere!"

Louise grabbed Alice, who was a little frightened, and quickly followed behind old Hank. There were only Zach and Herman in the warehouse.

Zach pouted, pulled up a chair, and sat down in front of Herman, who kept slapping the hay on his body, but patting more and more. "Mr. Herman, I think you should be aware that the current Grande is not in the state of receiving any, I mean anything. ”

Zach watched Herman whisper curses at the hay all over his body, realizing that Herman's current state would not be able to cooperate with anything he said. What's more, there are words in this kind of talk!

Yes, Zach was rejecting anything Herman was going to say next.

If you don't care about the Grande gray class attributes, just look at the 'casualty compensation' prompted by Herman before. The simplest logic, 'injury' is left alone, Herman must be responsible for those who 'died', in addition to compensation to the family, Herman obviously owes the deceased themselves a last thing in their lives, and Grande is the funeral home.

Even if it's the simplest logical conclusion, Zach doesn't want to take it!

The reason is also simple, all the upper echelons of Barton watched Grande being attacked, and finally found out that Grande was calculating Herman, exposing the imminent closure of Herman's factory. Now Grande is going to pick up Herman's compensation cooperation, what is this?!

"Mr. Herman. Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, impolitely pinched the other party's chin between two fingers, and swung it to himself, "Mr. Herman, what are you doing here?"

The corner of Herman's eyes twitched, and he slapped Zack's finger away, and then stretched out a finger of his own and looked at Zach, "All inclusive." ”

Zach pursed his lips, "What." ”

Herman waved his hand, "The distribution of your Grande, the ...... who did the cremation" mill, "One million, it's all inclusive, no matter how many people are behind!"

It seems to be the simplest logic, Herman is making a business proposal to Zack, which contains the "comforting" numbers in the newspaper that match Mike's Groundbinders, and the numbers that continue to grow.

"Nope. Zach replied directly.

Herman's open mouth pulled at the flesh on his cheeks with some hideousness, disgust, the expression on his face now, "One hundred and one!"

Zach frowned and looked at Herman, "No. ”

"One hundred and three!" Herman waved his hand, "This is my bottom line!"

Zach stood up and casually lifted the stool, ready to put it back in its place, he didn't want to get entangled with the ugly-looking guy he was now.

"One hundred and fifteen!" Herman shouted as he struggled a few times on the haystack, not standing up, waving his hands.

Zach pursed his lips, it was necessary to put an end to this meaningless conversation, "I won't answer as much as you say." ”

Herman stood up, then immediately fell back on. Stared at Zack, who was visibly startled, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After the momentary surprise passed, Zach shook his head again, didn't care about this guy anymore, and was ready to go to Grande to see the progress of the demolition.

"Two hundred. ”

When Zach was about to walk out of the warehouse, Herman suddenly spoke unusually calmly, "I will send the contract to your branch in the afternoon, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, I booked a press conference at noon, and I will release the news, if you want Grande to be pestered by those reporters, hmph, just continue to refuse!"

Zach frowned and turned to the other party, "Mr. Herman, does it make sense for you to do this?"

"Yes!" Herman's hands began to rummage awkwardly across his coat, and his mind seemed to be completely clear compared to his disorganized limbs, knowing what he was going to do and what to say!

Zach impatiently brushed aside Herman's hand that had been rummaging for a long time and had not turned it out, reached into the pocket of his coat, and took out an invitation.

Zach frowned and looked through it, looking at his name, Zachary Grande. The occasion of the invitation was a luncheon at the Liszt Mansion at noon.

"You've been invited, too!" Herman saw that Zach had gotten something, and his shaking hand went limp, "Hmph, when the time comes, you'll know if it makes sense." ”

Zach looked at the invitation, the handwriting was still fresh, which reminded Zach of the dinner party that had been abruptly canceled the night before, the same as Bishop's funeral, which had gathered Barton's powerful people, which was the one on Amilia's schedule.

Zach's curiosity has a limit, he glanced at Herman and took a deep breath, always feeling bad about guessing riddles. It's time to get some answers.

In the vampire's eyes, a little red gushed out from the depths, encroaching on the central pupil, and the person was not satisfied, occupying the entire iris, and then the entire eyes, "Herman, a lot has happened between us. ”

With a slight pause, Herman nodded, and explained in detail, the vampire's words had bypassed the rejection of Herman's brain, and he could move on to the next step.

"We're definitely not friends, but we're pretty familiar with each other, aren't we? don't need those boring treaties (secret non-disclosure agreements), you know they don't work for me, for Grande. How about let's have an honest conversation?"

The 'false' logic is implanted in the other person's brain, and it begins to extend from this base, and Herman is 'convinced'.

Zach asked the invitation letter that shook his hand and asked the first question, "Is this luncheon compensation for the dinner the day before yesterday?"

"You know the dinner the day before yesterday? Although under the eyes of seduction, Herman retains his character.

"Factory. Zach hesitated slightly, and although it was not a good feeling to always guess, once the question was asked, it was not a little fun. Regardless, Zach needs answers, whether it's to help Anthony, who is unprepared for the explosion, or to consider Grande's future attitude towards Herman, "Who blew it up?" ”

"Me. (To be continued......)
