Chapter 11: Distractions
Zach smiled and straightened out the scattered Wen Jiàn and spread it out in front of him, as if he was looking at it seriously. Madison's gaze drifted back, glanced at it, and then drifted away, with obvious disdain.
The vampire lost interest after looking at it for a while, and after hastily flipping it, he pushed Wen Jiàn back into place, and saw Madison's expression of 'sure enough'.
The true owner of the Grand House doesn't care about his 'career' at all!
Zach looked at Madison's disgusted eyes and shook his head with a smile. Maddison's dissatisfaction, he can understand the reason after a little thought.
The reason why the mill will survive is due to the cooperation with the Barton Police Department after the privatization of the funeral industry, which was promoted by Anthony. It is equivalent to the police station of the southern district permanently renting part of the resources of the mill. The most direct significance of this cooperation to Grande is that it received a check from the city government, which was the first funding for the mill and allowed the Grande House to be cremated.
This money was spent in the process of building the mill. Zach's intention was the same, after getting Mrs. Quinn's predetermined check and the commission to complete the check, the vampire didn't pay much attention to the money that the city government 'sent', and only thought about erecting a shelf that would at least function as a funeral home in this day and age.
Then there was Mrs. Barton's 'generosity', and the sudden money crisis at the beginning of the year was solved at once. Naturally, Zach was less concerned about the real legal income of the Grande House.
Not to mention the wave of grave moves, which had recently faded and the work at the headquarters of the Grande House had been emptied, which gave Zach the idea of visiting the still open mill.
Compared to the headquarters of the Grand House, the mill managed by Madison is like a funeral home that really deals with the deceased. From the time it was built to the present, the funeral that was taken over was a year for Grande, who had lived on a grant from the city government.
Then the question arises.
Again, the same old problem, the inflated cost of mill work.
In the case of tomb relocation, the compensation given by the municipal government to the grave movers in the western district is not a fixed amount, but refers to the interval given after the original funeral, the lowest compensation is the basic cost of cremation, and the highest compensation is a new funeral.
But the biggest difference between burial and cremation is that, in addition to occupying actual resources, such as the process of cremation (incineration), the land of burial. It's hard to measure the manpower consumption of burial, especially when you meet a weird guy like Old Hank, and you may ask him to add a little more decoration to the coffin, and the cost will be doubled!
So in the tomb move, the headquarters of the Grande House, where the vampire is located, is earned, because there is a place where you can store zài. But at the mill, every qiē can be calculated, and the calculated figure is not based on the cost of the Grande Mill, but on the average of the cremation costs of all Barton's funeral homes.
Continuing so, in the removal of the tomb, the mill is at a loss. The initial funds were completely squeezed out, but fortunately, the tide of moving graves passed, and Madison also had a gap to breathe a sigh of relief. Next, continue to do well, although he understands that vampires don't really care about this 'worldly' job, but the kind and positive Madison believes that as long as he works hard, there will always be a moment of real profit.
Maddison, who was looking forward to such a moment, waited for Zack's notice from Louise and the half-signed contract sent from Barton Prison.
Looking at the price that had been depressed to a loss, Madison was completely disappointed in his boss.
Bad things always happen together.
A black-eyed man who didn't know where it came from stayed at the mill. Maddison was almost desperate to find out that this demon named Leon was also indirectly recruited by Zach!
So there is the current state of Madison, full of resentment. What would you do if you had a boss who would only make a mess for yourself, like Madison is now.
"Okay Madison. Zach smiled and waved, "I'm glad you're serious about the work of the mill." However, the new cremation business of the Grande House, also known as the cooperation with the police department, has raised the price of raw materials, which is normal. Do you want me to use the Eyes of Charm and visit them one by one?"
Madison didn't reply, he understood this reason, to put it bluntly, that is, the mill peers were squeezed out, and the supplier did not want to offend the old business partner, and he could make a profit by the way, so why not.
Malicious speculation was made if Zach's decision to build a new mill was so that the exclusion would not affect Grande himself. Then this mill is really raised by the stepmother, and it will never turn over.
"As for the prison and Lyon. Zach tilted his head helplessly, "You just ignore it, anyway, the prison sends people very infrequently, and it won't have any effect on the mill." That Leon, I'll let Crowley restrain him a bit. ”
Madison sighed sadly, Zach had said so, what else could he do.
After comforting his wounded subordinates, the vampire left the mill and said to Madison, "You should find a hobby, something else, and don't think about work every day." ”
Maddison watched as Zach and Daniel got into the car, started and turned away, and he was thinking. Indeed, it is a depressing thing to deal with corpses in various states every day, either facing the rough and monotonous office.
"Oh, what are you bothering about, my friend!" Leon nervously danced beside Madison, who still had bruises on his face.
Madison glanced at this guy who was very good at inciting people to evil, and with a calm face, he silently whispered to himself, "I need to find a hobby, find something that can distract me." I need to find a hobby, a ...... that can distract me."
"What do you say?!" The demon didn't seem to know what 'private space' was, he jumped up to Madison's face, funny tilted his head sideways, and put one ear to Madison's self-muttering lips, "You need a distraction? Why?!"
Leon glared nervously at Madison, pressed his hands on Madison's shoulders, and shook violently, "My friend, are you not satisfied with your life? Why do you want to be distracted in such a wonderful life?
Vampires can push demons back with their eyes, and the chicken-ribbed human Maddison doesn't have such abilities. Let me grieve for a moment.
As Madison was stunned, Leon said, "Look, this sky, this ground, this living man, this dead man, you, me, vampires, phantoms, werewolves, banshees, and other species in Grande's house......!
On Madison's swaying head back and forth, the vision before a pair of eyes was messed up by the wanton shaking of his hair, and the hair that gradually changed to silver white made the world blurred.
Madison thought of something and blinked.
