Start with the Readers Chapter 249: Ordinary people


"If the chapter is wrong, click here to report"

Becklund, Jorwood District.

Vogt walked on the street like a walking corpse. His expression was numb and dull, as if he had lost his goal in life. Only the "ferocious" look in his eyes from time to time made people feel that he was still "alive" with.

Vogt was originally the owner of a small factory in Backlund, and at the same time held some shares in several upstream and downstream enterprises. It can be regarded as a pretty good life, and even bought a small manor in the suburbs for vacation.

The wife is beautiful and gentle, the elder son is handsome and talented, and the younger son is very sensible even though he is young. The family of four is happy.

However, after the Great Smog Incident in Backlund, everything changed!

This is not because his factory was affected by the "smog"... On the contrary, because the factory site is not far from the church of the Church of Steam, most of the workers in his factory are fine, only a few people were killed Induced pneumonia, but later also recovered with the help of the church.

What made his career take a turn for the worse was actually the "Pollution Control Act" introduced after the Great Smog Incident, and the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee" that led to this act!

Because of pollution control, his factory, as well as many upstream and downstream enterprises, were forced to suspend work and production... This is not bad, but the new regulation that must use "anthracite" as fuel has pushed him into the abyss.

Not to mention that "anthracite" increases production costs, which makes his profits even scarcer because he relies on price advantages to occupy a certain share of the market... Just say that burning "anthracite" requires replacing all steam equipment, that's it. It's not something he can bear!

And the liquidated damages he had to pay due to the suspension of work and production, as well as the bank loan that was approaching the settlement date, all caused him a lot of headaches.

For this reason, he even sold his own manor, sold his house in the city, and moved his family into a rental apartment in the Bridge District.

But the nightmare is not over yet. After barely making enough repayment amount, the bank that was originally "friendly" to him refused to lend him another loan!

Vogt later figured out that it was not because of his reputation, but because Prince Edsaac, who was standing behind him faintly, also died in the haze...

Yes, Vogt's property was much smaller a year ago, because his eldest son Alex was favored by Prince Edesak for some reason, and after he became the other's assistant, he It was only after obtaining a large loan that the company gradually developed.

Unfortunately, the eldest son Alex passed away inexplicably before the smog, and His Royal Highness was also assassinated in the smog...

A series of bad news, coupled with the introduction of the "Pollution Control Act" and the "ruthlessness" of the bank, finally crushed him and forced Vogt to declare bankruptcy.

Because of repaying all foreign debts, Vogt, who had some savings before, was able to give his wife and young son a stable life.

But unfortunate people are often even more unfortunate... Not long after he went bankrupt, his youngest son suddenly fell ill and needed surgery to save him...

But Vogt sold everything except the pistol and moved his family from the Bridge District to a cheap house in the East Side, but he still couldn't make up enough money for the surgery.

At this time, he was holding the only "property" he left behind in his pocket, and he glanced at a movie theater not far away, as if he wanted to do something against his morality, but was caught by the only remaining "property". Conscience "prevents".

In fact, the difference in his surgery fee is not that much. As long as he gets another 30 pounds, he can hire the famous Dr. Allen to perform the surgery...

If it was changed to before, this amount of money would be no problem, but for Vogt, who has no income and no property, there is nothing he can do.

It is impossible to raise 30 pounds in a day or two through any channel he can think of, and even the loan shark gangsters are unwilling to lend it to him.

Except for...

Thinking of this, Vogt touched the handle of the gun in his hand, as if he had made up his mind:

Alex is dead... If Marcus also dies of illness, what's the point of living with Lin?

Besides, Lin's spirit was already very bad when Alex passed away, and she absolutely couldn't bear the blow of losing her child again...

At that time, even if I kill all the congressmen who promoted that **** bill, nothing can be saved? Might as well grab one now!

And I have already found out that the daughter of a **** congressman is the actual manager of this theater, and it is only natural that he robbed her of her money. Let her be the atonement for her father!

After doing a series of psychological construction, Vogt lowered his hat, took a deep breath, and was about to walk into the theater and rob the "ticket office".

He stepped on the spot in advance and knew that since it was the day when the new film "Ice Sea Shipwreck" of "Brian Film and Television Company" was being released, there was definitely a lot of cash in the box office.

But just as Vogt was approaching the entrance of the theater, something happened suddenly. Several **** and fashionable girls came out holding a stack of papers similar to "leaflets".

When they saw Vogt approaching, they laughed and gave him one each.

When the bursts of fragrance left Vogt's side, he came back to his senses in shock. Looking back, he saw those ladies standing by the side of the road, handing out leaflets to passers-by .

And two or three security guards wearing similar police uniforms were standing not far from them, as if they were protecting their safety from being harassed.

Seeing the "security guards", Vogt's momentum of "going forward" just now was interrupted, and he began to look forward and backward, worrying about gains and losses: Since all the flyers are equipped with security guards, will there be no ticket offices?

Frustrated, Vogt subconsciously glanced at the "flyer" in his hand, and found that the top page was a "questionnaire":

"Which imaginary movie scene do you want to appear in reality?"

Searle's Crystal Palace" and so on... Of course, you can also write a "wish" by yourself.

"Boring..." Vogt shook his head. He wasn't in the mood to travel right now, so he casually flipped through the leaflets at the back and found that the contents were similar, but the wording was different. Author:

"If you could make a wish to Viscount Abner Bryan to bring the scenes you dreamed into reality, which dream would you choose?"

"There are quite a lot of tricks...wish?" Vogt snorted, and was about to throw these leaflets into the trash can, but at this time, the text on the last page caught his attention and made him He stopped the movement of his hands.

"Lord Belldan is recruiting elites with experience in engineering management and business operations, with a weekly salary of 10 pounds... Can you advance the salary?!"

Vogt stared at these few lines, completely ignoring the many follow-up "requirements", such as having to leave Backlund to work in Beldan, such as the implementation of the 996 working system, which only allowed to go to church on Sundays Rest during worship, etc...

His mind is now completely filled with the words "salary advance".

The next moment, he rushed towards a lady who was distributing leaflets, but was stopped by a nearby security guard who stepped forward and asked, "What do you want to do?"

When Vogt came back to his senses, regardless of the lady's panic and surprise, he stared straight at her and asked, "Is this recruitment real?

"When and where is the interview?"

The lady handing out the leaflet glanced at the security guy standing in front of her, smiled sweetly, then calmed down and replied, "It's in the manager's room on the third floor of the theater... You can interview now."

Speaking of which, she "kindly" reminded:

"However, you'd better go to that stationery store next door and make a resume of yourself first."

"Thank you!" Vogt thanked earnestly, and then immediately ran to the small shop near the theater.

Seeing him leave, Miss Leaflet gave the security guard a wink and said with a smile, "Thank you."

The security guard's face turned red immediately, he stroked his hair and stammered, "This... this is what I should do."

After speaking, he hurried away and continued to perform his duties.

Seeing this, the other ladies and sisters who handed out leaflets laughed together ~IndoMTL.com~ and joked in a low voice: "Zoe, don't use the tricks you used in 'White Rose' on Ron, he I’ve never seen this before.”

The girl named Zoe stomped her feet angrily upon hearing this.

In front of the French windows on the third floor of the cinema, Abner and Hazel watched this scene together.

For those "prostitutes" who took over from "Charming Apostle" Cecilia, the high-spirited ones were all arranged by Abner to go to Beldan, and they will work as "stars" in the future, can you? It's all up to them to get ahead...Even if they return to their profession, Abner will not intervene again.

As for those who want to return to normal life, they are basically assigned to theaters in various cities to do work such as welcoming guests and entertaining them. I read it...Of course, there are also self-reliant ones. For example, the one who opened a stationery store next to the theater is also a former "White Rose" lady.

"That man... seems to have hatred for my father..." Hazel said after a few seconds of silence.

"It is impossible for every policy to satisfy everyone, and someone's interests will always be damaged... As long as there are follow-up considerations, compensation, and help, it will not be a big problem." Abner said with a smile.

"So... You recruited a large number of workers in Beldan, and there is a reason to make up for this problem?" Hazel asked sideways.

"It's sort of... But it's more for the development of my territory itself." Abner replied honestly.

"Thank you, Abner... If it weren't for you, that man's family would have been killed by my father... He might go to extremes to take revenge on my father..." Hazel said with a little gratitude.

It's not that she is guessing randomly, but that she has just been promoted to "Fire Thief", and she has been able to steal some other people's ideas.
