Director Cologne's lips kept rubbing against his gums.

In the presence of a man like General Reims at the dinner table, this kind of vulgar table behavior was not what Director Cologne wanted to do.

Finally, a piece of hard object was pushed out against Director Cologne's gums. Director Cologne pulled the ugly thing out of his mouth - it was a broken lamb bone.

Zach raised his glass, "I'm sorry, I was working on the ingredients......"

"Grande [Zach] is not responsible for my son's actions. General Lance glanced at Chief Cologne, "It was Grande (Zack) who was preparing this wonderful dinner for us, and my son came to disturb the process. ”

"Has Lance [James] been here? Director Cologne looked a little surprised.

Uh, two things. First, the status of the people attending this dinner is there, and it should be formal, so the title may need everyone to get used to it. Two, James, is gone.

"The detective did come and withdraw my invitation to his wedding on Monday. Zach took a sip of his wine and replied with a smile on his face.

Director Cologne continued to look surprised, looked at Zack, and then at General Lance, and did not continue to hope for the lamb chops on his plate, and tasted wine with Zack, "Actually, he doesn't have to be so suspicious." "You can be treated as a guest on Kate's side, after all, the whole Barton people are watching this reporter from the beginning of the slander of Grande to the present day to defend Grande." ”

You can understand what the director of Cologne is talking about.

Barton's inner circle knew that James had only gotten mixed up with Barton by relying on Zack's covert help. Zach, as a helper in the shadows, is indeed not suitable to walk to the table. And for those who are not in Barton's inner circle, James Lance is also involved in the gossip of a four-corner love dispute with Grande. This is the so-called 'suspicion' to avoid.

The conclusion is a single discussion of the relationship between Zachary Grande and James Lance. It is normal for people who have a high degree of topicality and relationship to avoid appearing in an occasion with a high degree of attention.

However, this high-profile occasion is not Jacos Lance alone, right, and Kate.

Kate and Grande have a much simpler relationship than James and Zach. The simplicity here is the meaning of the inside and the outside. As it was on the outside, Kate's attitude towards Grande was written in Barton Daily. From the initial idea of managing to bring Grande's rhythm, to the last few pen strokes have been to maintain Grande. Kate's attitude is very clear to everyone, James tried his best to reject Grande's existence before proposing, and after the proposal, everything was put aside and he was extremely friendly to Grande.

If you want to say that Grande is now sending sincere wishes to the newlywed Kate, no one will think that there is a problem.

After listening to Cologne's words, General Lance glanced at Zack, ignored the lamb chops on the plate, and began to taste the wine, "The funeral industry in the west is imitating the Grande funeral home, I think Grande has become a benchmark for the privatized funeral industry in Massa, do you still need a reporter to maintain it?" ”

Of course, General Lance would have cared about Kate's attitude towards Grande, forgetting what General Lance had to say about Kate, the 'sinister reporter'.

"Oh. Director Cologne smiled, "The general only came to Patton today, and he shouldn't have seen the news to keep up with Patton." "I can tell you in advance that the director of Cologne is actually just carrying out his goal of coming to Grande for this dinner, and this conversation that took place at the dinner table has already been planned," Grande encountered something in this incident, thanks to the objective reporting of the incident by Kate reporters. ”

Chief Cologne glanced at Zack, got the look that was all according to plan, and continued, "Let's just talk about the most recent, the Grande Mill, along with the cooperation agreement signed with the Southern District Police Department last year, was traded to the Allen Funeral Home in the same South District. ”

General Lance naturally threw a puzzled look at Zach - he was a general of the Union country, and no matter how idle and boring he was, he would not pay attention to the internal transactions of the funeral industry in an Eastern city. Knowing that the funeral industry in the western part of the Federation was mimicking Grande's adaptation to the privatization of funerals, the human general was already able to extend his horizons to the limit of change between the vampire clans of the Demon Feast.

Zach responded to General Lance's confusion and looked into General Lance's eyes, "Allen's funeral has caused a lot of trouble for Grande Mill last year, and my poor employee, Madison, almost couldn't survive. ”

General Lance didn't look at Zach for too long, and withdrew his gaze, "That's right. His confusion was not answered.

But Director Cologne took Zack's words, and just said that this dialogue was designed, like a choreography, and now the performance just needs to dance according to the steps, "Yes, since last year, Grande has been constantly making concessions to Allen's funeral, the dispute over the compensation for the removal of the grave, the resource sharing of the cemetery, and the joint name of the insurance some time ago." The director of Cologne lifted the quilt to Zack, and this time he toasted, "Now that Grande has sold the mill, it is easy for the outside world to think that Grande has once again made a concession to Allen's funeral. "Pause, point," even the cooperation project with the Southern District Police Department was surrendered. ”

"Hehehe. Zach smiled and saluted Director Cologne, and at the same time, he also saluted General Lance once, "Thanks to Kate's reporter reporting on the mill deal, Allen's funeral gave Grande a lot of compensation even though he received a cooperation project with the Southern District Police Department. Grande didn't suffer a single loss in this deal. ”

General Lance took Zack's toast and raised his glass, because the confusion had not been resolved, but he had listened to these more confusing contents, so he could only make a meaningless comment, "That's Grande really want to thank this reporter for protecting Grande's reputation on the public platform." "Respectfully, Director Cologne.

After a lap, the director of Cologne was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, but his tone was some: "Still, I hope the mill will be under the Grande." After all, Barton's South End, hehe, Grande still lost a lot in this transaction. In the new round of cup lifting, Director Cologne still lifted Zack.

Zach also continued to answer, raising his glass, "Patton's southern district is indeed a pity, after the completion of the new port, with the expansion of trade with the republic, coupled with the natural advantage of the southern district with few people, it will definitely become the center of gravity of Patton's development in the future." The cooperation project in the mill and your Southern District Police Department will inevitably rise and its value will rise. Allen's funeral now gives an equivalent deal, hehe, and can only fool some short-sighted people. "Pass the circle of this toast to General Reims.

General Lance had only now heard something he could understand in this conversation, trade with the Republic. In the afternoon, the general, who had been placed in the warehouse with Roy Tsmich, listened to Roy tell how he had come to Patton—

Rut Lesenbra abandoned Tsmich's arms industry...... Forget it, this one will not be repeated. The point here is that Roy Tsmich used the republican trade to be influenced by the Kraken and found a reason to stay here at Barton.

General Lance, knows how important trade with the Republic is to the Feast.

General Lance raised his glass in response to Zack's salute, "I don't really understand the partnership between the privatization of the funeral industry and the police. I live in the West, where the privatization process has only just begun. "A glass to the Director of Cologne.

Another lap is complete.

Director Cologne looked like he was voluntarily puzzled, "Oh, General, it's like this: when the funeral resources are not public resources, the police call some things, such as death records and body information...... It can no longer be as convenient as before, and the police must go through the normal judicial process in order to be granted the right to access these resources. Our cooperation with the mill is that all relevant case information is temporarily kept by the police on behalf of the mill, which means that the police can easily access these resources at any time before the police announce the closure of the case and officially turn the resources into private resources for the funeral industry. ”

General Lance raised an eyebrow, "I see." He looked at Zach and didn't put his doubts on his face, "It sounds like you gave Allen a big gift for the funeral." ”

This is not wrong, and the conversation just now also shows that with the development of the new port in the Southern District, the power of the Southern District Police Station will also grow, and mastering the resources that the Southern District Police Station can access is to a certain extent mastering the Southern District Police Department.

General Lance didn't need to be reminded of this, but again, General Lance had been in contact with Zachary Torredo in Vega, and he knew that Torredo's position in the Feast was not stable. His confusion is - why doesn't Zach grab this good thing in his own hands?

Zach smiled loyally. This smile instantly made General Lance a little uncomfortable. Zach spoke, "Nothing useful to me, what gifts are not gifts, James Lance is a police detective in the North District, and it is useless for me to take such a large resource in the South District, are you right, General~"

General Lance was still reflecting on what Zack's expression of loyalty meant to him, and Zach continued, "But of course, if the General wants James to come to the Southside. Zach put on a resolute expression and raised his glass to the director of Cologne, "Then the mill, I am bound to come back, and when the time comes, I may need the help of the director." ”

There was a reversal in the direction of the toast.

Director Cologne immediately raised his glass after Zack's words fell, "That's natural, General Lance is here today." He smoothly raised his glass and saluted in the direction of General Reims, "I've never liked the Allen Funeral Gang. "With a pout, this 'dance', which has been designed for a long time, has come to play on the spot," especially the new employees (Hamiltonian them). ”

General Lance held his wine glass, looked at the wine glass that was saluted to him again, and raised his own somewhat blankly, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

General Lance, an explanation is needed.

This dinner, for General Reims...... It's not a formal dinner that you have been notified of in advance.

When General Lance was at the table, rightfully ready to feast on the human diet that was supposed to come with living in Grandry alone, Zach told him that he had to wait for someone for dinner today.

General Lance now regretted a little, why didn't he ask Zach what he would talk about at the dinner table before Cologne came, and now it wouldn't be so inexplicable.

Speaking of which, it is not to blame General Lance for asking in advance. How could he have known that from the beginning of this dinner, every topic he did not understand was inexplicably led to him! The general started the dinner with the same mentality that Zach had inexplicably carried him to see Bell at noon. If it weren't for Zach's introduction of Cologne, who had been his son James's direct boss and was relegated to the Southern District as the director of the bureau because he had to make way for Darcy, General Lance would probably not have said a word the whole time. General Lance now regretted a little, why didn't he ask Zach what he would talk about at the dinner table before Cologne came, and now it wouldn't be so inexplicable.

I didn't want to, so I said that polite sentence, 'I don't have to be responsible for my son's actions', and I was trapped.

Since General Lance, who was carrying the glass, failed to speak, the director of Cologne, who was waiting for the salute to be accepted, glanced at Zack.

Zach kept smiling, "General, the Cologne director can be trusted. ”

With another inexplicable remark, General Lance looked at Zach, 'Trust what?'

"Director Cologne knows that I was sent by the Reims family to assist James, and Director Cologne has always been very cooperative with my work~" Zach's smile continued.

All expressions on General Lance's face vanished, and the wine glass was lowered, quietly looking at the lamb chops on the plate that had not moved.

The general's IQ will not disappoint everyone.

General Lance looked up and looked at Director Cologne, "Thank you for taking care of James for more than a year." The expression on his face was a smile.

"It should be~" Director Cologne also laughed.

General Lance still knows his role at this table, it turns out that Zach is his subordinate~ Then, he put away his smile, "I think now, you should explain why you made such a big decision about the mill and didn't tell me in advance." ”

"As I have already said, James's main direction of development is in the North End of Barton, and the political center of Button is not in the South End. ”

General Lance looked at Zach and didn't speak. This can be easily interpreted by a third-party onlooker as the prestige of the superior.

Zach finally put away the smile on his face under the general's gaze.
