Chapter 34 New Employees

13 Mingke StreetMingke Street Church;Dis handed a wooden box to the man standing in front of him, dressed in a black trench coat.The man opened the box and glanced at the copper coins sealed inside with glass.

"Your Honor, is this the replica of the source of evil?""Yes.""I understand, I will send him to the District Management Office."The man closed the wooden box and placed a seal on it, with the words:Source of Evil;Do not touch."By the way, about the search warrant issued by the District two months ago."Dis looked at him and replied, "I submitted the response to the search warrant a month ago.""Yes, the District saw it, but, as you know, this matter is not trivial, and they always take it very seriously. So they have ordered all districts, especially the Ruland District, to conduct a thorough search again.""But I don't even have a list of items to search for, I only know that an unidentified person held a divine descent ceremony in the city of Belwin. Although, from the District's reaction, I can tell that the scale of this ceremony is not small."

"Lord Dis, I am just conveying the instructions from the higher authorities. I am sure there are things that you are not aware of, and I am also not clear about them. However, I still appreciate your efforts in conducting another investigation report.""Understood.""May the light of order shine forever."After bowing, the man took the box and walked out of the church.Dis stood in place, organizing the things on his desk.Halfway through, the man suddenly stopped and said:"Lord Dis, there is another thing I heard about.""Speak.""High Priest Rasma has arrived in Rulun from the headquarters. He will be in charge of the second investigation of the Belwin incident.""Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I have heard from the Guardian of the Great Region that you have a deep relationship with the High Priest of Lasma.""Then what?""If possible, the Guardian hopes that you can speak well of the High Priest in front of him. If the Bellwin incident continues to be unclear, many people in the Rulan region are worried about being blamed by the headquarters.""I am just a judge. The affairs of the adults should be resolved by the adults themselves."Dis packed his things and walked towards the door. When he reached the man, he stopped:"Are you a divine messenger?""No, I am a servant of the gods."Dis laughed, "You're pretending, it doesn't seem like it."The Order Church, with the responsibility of guarding the light of order, and the existence of respecting order is becoming more and more important. Therefore, within the Order Church, there is a powerful department responsible for supervising the church itself, known as the "Whip of Order."It's a bit like the gendarmerie of various countries.

The man lowered his head, assuming a respectful posture.Dis didn't say anything else and walked out of the church.The man lifted his head,while gently stroking the wooden box in his hand, he whispered:"In fact, Lord Dis, you also don't seem like someone who would do this."..."It's truly a staggering amount, enough to suffocate someone, as a down payment."In the first floor living room, Uncle Mason held the agreement contract and the thick stack of money next to it, feeling extremely emotional.But then, as a former financial industry worker, Mason's alertness made him suspicious:"A down payment of 100,000 lucre, and it's not a check but cash?"

"Is cash not good?" Aunt Mary said, "It also saves us from going to the bank to check for authenticity.""My dear, besides a few who genuinely like to save and use cash, most people who use large amounts of cash do so to avoid being traced."At this point, Uncle Mason deliberately glanced at Karen sitting across from him and asked, "Karen, do you think there might be some small issue with the other party?"Karen shook her head; Uncle Mason breathed a sigh of relief, but Karen's next words left him stunned: "It's not a small issue, I think it's a big problem."

"Very big?" Uncle Mason asked in confusion."A funeral with many people, and you have to make an appointment in advance, as if they were certain that the whole family would die at the same time.""Well, that can be explained," Aunt Mary said. "Some families have special traditions or religious customs where they preserve the deceased family members until the whole generation has passed away, and then they hold a joint funeral, symbolizing that they can enter heaven or a similar place hand in hand.""Oh, that makes sense. The gentleman said that family had a deep bond.""I see." Uncle Mason chuckled. "It doesn't matter, the tax bureau won't find out about us anyway."Seemingly to boost his own morale, Uncle Mason added, "The funerals for the first and second wives of the tax bureau director were both held at our house, and we didn't charge a penny."Karen laughed, "So our family has actually never paid taxes?""We have paid taxes. I always pay the monthly environmental protection fee and funeral business license maintenance fee on time. As for the taxes on revenue... Winnie."

Uncle Mason called out to Aunt Winnie, who was in charge of managing the accounts. Just then, Aunt Winnie walked over with a cup of coffee and continued, "Our family's business has been struggling and constantly in a deficit. Without the welfare provided by the government, we wouldn't be able to keep it running." Karen nodded and said, "I understand." In fact, he had just received his salary and bonus from last month. His salary consisted of a base salary of 3,000 Lu coins and a commission from psychological counseling fees. This was equivalent to Ron's salary, as Karen also had to help transport bodies when they were short-staffed, making him the third member of the team. The commission was a 50-50 split, with Karen receiving 2,000 Lu coins. So his total salary was 5,000 Lu coins, but as a member of the family, he also received a bonus of 30,000 Lu coins. This bonus was an exaggerated amount, mainly supported by Mrs. Seymour's purchase of a coffin for Mr. Seymour, which cost 200,000 Lu coins. This one coffin alone brought in a profit of 100,000 Lu coins for the Inmoleis family. It's no wonder Aunt Mary gets so excited every time she hears about the "B-level package."

In fact, if it weren't for the previous girl's family losing money, last month's bonus would have been even more shocking.That is to say, Karen's income last month was already higher than that of an ordinary worker's annual income.No wonder the little nurse, Mavis, doesn't mind Karen's business at home. In front of such a huge bonus income, those bodies, oh no, those guests, can also become friendly and amiable.And the highest actual income at home is Aunt Mary, because Aunt Mary holds the "technical high ground."Excellent corpse movers, salesmen, and well-presented priests are not hard to find, but excellent embalmers are really hard to come by. The more willing the guests are to spend money, the higher the requirements for the embalmer. Therefore, Aunt Mary's income is the highest in the family.However, B-level packages are hard to come by, and high bonuses are not possible every month. But even in the off-season, bonuses can still be around 5,000."By the way, I found out the bottom price of the Xius Crematorium. Including the land, factory, equipment, and business license, it's 500,000 Lu coins." Uncle Mason spread his hands, "It's a very favorable price, and the main cost is in the land and business license."Aunt Mary snorted, "The land price is fake."The Xius Crematorium is not yet at the stage where residential development is needed, and the population pressure in Luo Jia City is not that great, so the land can only be used for factories. If you want to sell the land and make money, you can't sell it at a high price."But that's the price they set, and the business license is the hardest to obtain. I think the price is quite reasonable. The meaning above is that if our family can directly pay this money, the Xius Crematorium can become the Inmoleis Crematorium."

Aunt Winnie reminded, "There isn't that much money in the public account, as it is distributed as dividends every month."Dis is not a miser, as the family receives dividends every month and the public account only covers basic operating expenses.Aunt Winnie took a sip of coffee, "So, if we want to acquire the Shius Crematorium, our family will need to contribute our savings back to the public account, and then use the overall profits from the funeral and cremation services to make up for it.The most important thing is that the previous operation of the Shius Crematorium was only at a maintenance stage, and the profits were not very high, much lower than ours.Even if we acquire it and integrate it with the funeral services, the increase in profits will be limited because most wealthy clients prefer traditional burials.It's also not possible to offer low-priced funeral services for those who can't afford cremation, as it would affect our original business.Moreover, Mrs. Shius has become a fugitive murderer, Mr. Darcy has passed away, and the two employees have already left. We will need to recruit new employees.Who will be responsible for managing that area?Mason, will you go?Or Karen?

"You all have things to do at home." "Mrs. Winnie." At this moment, Paul's voice came from outside as he walked in, a little shyly saying, "I was just sitting outside and overheard your conversation. Ron heard it too." To show that he didn't intentionally eavesdrop, Paul brought Ron in with him. "Mhm." Ron poked his head out and nodded. "Hm? This is our family business, and you are also a member of our company. There's no need to avoid you," Uncle Mason said. "Thank you, sir." Paul took a deep breath and said, "Sir, madam, young master, if possible, I would like to take out my savings and invest in Shius Cremation Society. At the same time, I can also be in charge of its operations." "Are you crazy, Paul? What money do you have to invest?" Ron laughed. "I have 100,000 lupees." "Just 100...thousand lupees!!!" Ron exclaimed, "Oh my god, how can you have so much money!"

Ron and Paul have been working as corpse movers at the Inmerleis family for some years.However, Ron has always been living paycheck to paycheck, occasionally borrowing money to spend, while Paul has been saving up.Aunt Winnie said, "It's not impossible, but as for the specific shareholding, I need to rethink it.""Okay, madam."Aunt Mary smiled and asked, "It seems that Paul has succeeded in his moonlighting?"Paul shyly nodded and said, "Yes, so I hope to do something on my own, so that she can have a better life."Ron sarcastically said, "Why her and not him?"Uncle Mason raised his hand and said, "If this is how it's going to be done, do we need to recruit another assistant?"Aunt Mary stretched and reminded, "It's best to have two, because I also need a female assistant. Mina and Lunt are going to high school, so they can't take time off to help at home unless they are sure they will inherit the family business."Obviously, Aunt Mary doesn't want Mina and Lunt to be tied down like this, even if they end up coming back after their father's failed attempt at making it outside, at least they will have seen the world.

"Okay, what about Paul? Uncle Mason asked, "Does the crematorium also need employees? Which account should we use? Do we need to recruit together?"Paul immediately said, "My mother can do odd jobs, and my fiancée and her parents can all come to the crematorium as workers. I can also drive, no problem."Uncle Mason joked, "Wow, you're bringing your whole family into the crematorium."Aunt Winnie raised the account book and looked at everyone present:"My father has always been indifferent to this matter, so if no one objects, I will make a plan and then please keep your private money safe and prepare to hand it over."The family meeting ended.The next day,Uncle Mason posted a job advertisement at the door.On the third day, Aunt Winnie also came up with a plan for acquisition and shareholding.The acquisition price was 500,000 lubei, and with all the necessary new equipment, a total of 700,000 lubei needed to be raised for the crematorium.

"Excluding the 100,000 Lu coins invested by Paul, we still need to raise 600,000 Lu coins, including Karen. The five family members need to contribute 120,000 Lu coins. Karen contributed 60,000 Lu coins, which includes the previous "Karen" private funds, Piajie consulting fees, and last month's income dividends. The remaining 60,000 Lu coins will be evenly divided among the uncle, aunt, aunt, and grandfather, and then deducted from Karen's monthly dividends to repay the debt.Another reason for the large budget is the old hearse of the Inmoleis family, which was discounted and invested in the crematorium by the Inmoleis family. This was used by Paul. The family now needs to purchase a new hearse, not a modified "fruit shell" car, but a genuine hearse produced by a car company. The price is very expensive, a whopping 160,000 Lu coins.Uncle Mason happily went to purchase the hearse, but due to student demonstrations blocking the traffic, he could only return home late at night. Exhausted, Uncle Mason scolded the students and also scolded Lunte.The next day, on his way back with the money to pay, Uncle Mason was once again blocked by protesting workers, causing him to return late at night. During dinner, he scolded Lunte again.In short, these days the Inmoleis family is very busy, and the city of Luo Jia is even busier."

Karen could smell the impending storm every morning when she read the newspaper during breakfast time. It was mainly because of the editor-in-chief, Humir, from the "Luo Jia Daily" that her family subscribed to. Every time his editorial was on the front page, it was too obvious that he was certain the old mayor would definitely lose the election, so he had already joined the new team early on."It seems like the old mayor is in trouble this time," Karen said while drinking her milk.Uncle Mason didn't seem concerned. "That's impossible. The old mayor has the support of the industrial district, and besides, he hasn't done a bad job during his years as mayor. Didn't he manage to disperse the workers' protest yesterday?""Maybe," Karen replied.She flipped to the next page of the newspaper, where there was a photo of Daisy.Hmm, she's so young but looks so mature.How could Lunt possibly like her?But then she remembered that Pu'er had mentioned Lunt secretly using his hand, and suddenly it all made sense.For the past two days, Lunt had been scolded by Mason during breakfast, which led to him waking up early today and eating breakfast while heading to school.

"Oh, by the way, Karen, I have to go out for a bit later. I still need to go to the crematorium for the follow-up procedures. There are two employees coming for an interview at noon. I have already interviewed them in advance and finalized their basic salary. You can review it later.""Everything is finalized, do we still need to review it?""Sigh, didn't I already tell them directly? You can take this opportunity to instill our company culture at Inmores Funeral Home.""Oh, okay." Karen nodded, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask her uncle what our family's company culture is."Today is the 14th, right?""Yes, they booked for 4 days, today is the first day."Uncle Mason smiled and said, "I hope they can hold on for 4 days."It's also very comfortable to earn the deposit while lying down.After breakfast, Uncle Mason drove the new hearse and went out.Karen stayed in his bedroom study, where he had Tomina borrow many books about "religion" from the city library for him.

Since waking up in this world, I haven't had much use for math, physics, or chemistry. Instead, "theology" is everywhere.Even if I don't encounter those strange things, even if Grandpa Dis is just a normal old priest, I still have to deal with clients of various faiths.While watching Karen, I took notes.Until I heard a dog barking in the yard downstairs. Well, it's normal for a dog to bark, that stupid dog likes to bark for no reason.Because Mr. Hofen, who was originally on the verge of death but was saved and managed to survive, is still struggling with death, he just can't let go;So, the golden retriever has been staying at the Inmores' house.But besides the "dog barking", Karen also heard a cat meowing. Even the Puer tea is meowing?Karen opened the window and saw two people, a man and a woman, standing in front of the gate. They should be the new employees who came to apply today.Karen walked out of the bedroom and downstairs;On the way downstairs, I was still thinking, what kind of corporate culture do we need to create for our company?

Until Karen walked out of the living room on the first floor,In an instant,Her footsteps froze.The woman wearing a black top hat also looked up as Karen approached.Nurse...That night, it was this face, this nurse in a nurse's uniform, who almost killed herself and Puer.After a brief shock, Karen remembered who took away Nasi's body.So, this Nasi in front of her is...Ms. Molly?Then, the man next to Nasi is...The man took off his hat,

"Smiling at Karen,Alfred!Karen turned around and walked back to the living room, sitting down on the sofa.Alfred and Mrs. Molly pushed open the unlocked courtyard door and followed her into the living room.Looking at Mrs. Molly, who had transformed into "Nas", Karen suddenly felt uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because Mrs. Molly's original image was too deeply ingrained in people's minds.As for Alfred, even though he was not wearing a suit today and was dressed in traditional casual clothes, his refined and proper demeanor could not be hidden.Sitting on the sofa, Karen looked at the two of them and asked, "Why are you here..."Alfred and Mrs. Molly both knelt down in front of Karen."

Together they said:"When the great you need us, we should follow your call!"At this time,Aunt Mary, who was organizing tools in the basement, heard the noise on the first floor. She remembered her husband saying that two new employees would come during the day, one of whom was her own female assistant.In addition, her husband also said that Karen should go and promote the corporate culture of the Inmores family to them.She asked her husband, what exactly is our corporate culture?Mason's answer was: I don't know, but I believe Karen can come up with something.Finally, Mason joked:He can even give people psychological counseling, so he can definitely convince the new employees. Maybe he can even get them to work for us for free without pay?Aunt Mary curiously walked up the slope, wanting to eavesdrop on the "corporate culture".

But as soon as she walked into the living room, she saw two new employees, a man and a woman, kneeling in front of her nephew, Karen. Aunt Mary was so shocked that she covered her mouth. Oh my goodness, is our company culture really that strong?
