I have a comic book house
Chapter 2
"Why?" Leif Keynes only felt dizzy in his head, had he not recovered from the smoke yesterday?
"Dear Leff, you see, the factory was destroyed, the workers were dismissed, and it will take at least a year to rebuild the factory, my best friend, you know mine, I don't have that much money to feed so many people, and you can't wait for me for a whole year, right!".
You just have to feed me alone!" Leif Keynes roared in his head, but he didn't dare to say it.
Excuses, excuses! Leif Keynes knew in his heart that the director, Mr. Hermann Oslin, managed more than a dozen factories for the Chamber of Commerce, and that he could have placed himself in other factories!
"Dear Mr. Osling!" Leif Cairns began, "I am willing to accept the assignment and go to work in another factory, but you only need to give me a chance, don't you always praise me for my bookkeeping skills? !"
"Bookkeeping!" interrupted Keynes as Director Hermann Osling interrupted. "Bookkeeping, Mr. Keynes!" his tone changed, and he was no longer so sad, "do you know what is the most troublesome thing in rebuilding the factory?
Leif Keynes instantly understood that the reason for his dismissal was that he had not been able to save the books of accounts that were more important than his life! or that the books would be reduced to ashes along with them, and perhaps then his wife, Mary Keynes, and his lovely son, Joseph, would receive a large sum of money!
"Mr. Oslin, I can... Leif Keynes hesitated.
Hermann Oslin shook his head slightly, stopping Keynes from continuing, he took out a thin envelope from the drawer and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Keynes, "My dear friend, you are a responsible person, a decent person, if you need anything, I am always here, if you need a letter of recommendation, I will not hesitate to describe you in the best words, as long as it is helpful to you, I am willing to help you, now, please get out!"
Leif Keynes pursed his lips, picked up the envelope, turned and walked out of the office.
"Next!" Herman Osling's voice sounded behind him.
Leif Keynes held the soulstone-powered aether night lamp, a strong enough light source to strafe back and forth in the pitch darkness, and in front of him were rows of tombstones, as his new boss, Mr. Morwach, the head of the cemetery, said, his job did not need to deal with the living, because he was now a cemetery night watchman!
It was August, and it was a hot time, but Leif Keynes was still cold as he walked through the silent cemetery.
"O Saliya, goddess of mercy, why did I accept such a job?!" Keynes lamented silently.
There is no other reason, although this job is not decent, but the salary is enough to support him and his family's life in Zhongcheng, although Zhongcheng District is not as good as the Chamber of Commerce Governor's Mansion and various dignitaries are located in Shangcheng District, but it still belongs to the center of Samsara Town, Zhongcheng District is built by the Chamber of Commerce, the houses here are not for sale, the Chamber of Commerce is responsible for renting, and the Chamber of Commerce needs to pay 20 Chamber of Commerce coins every month, so that such a high price, the living space here is still very valuable, once there is a vacancy, it will often be sold out quickly。
Keynes also had a place in Midtown, where most of the Chamber of Commerce employees lived, and as long as the residents didn't clash with the Chamber of Commerce, the city center was the safest place in the whole of Samsara Town: the sewers were equipped with gates and fences to keep out the creatures roaming from other areas.
There are a large number of patrols on the streets, and any attacks that occur in the area are quickly and brutally suppressed.
The Public Relations Department and the Public Radio Station of the Totome Chamber of Commerce are located in Hongfu, Zhongcheng District, and the office building of the Public Relations Department is surrounded by the staff of the Chamber of Commerce and related enterprises of the Ministry and the radio station.
This has led to a variety of shops and atmospheric bars popping up in Midtown, and it's not uncommon to see smartly dressed residents of Uptown strolling south to enjoy some of the "local flair".
One of the most popular attractions in Midtown is the Star Theatre, an architectural marvel with electric lights and velvet curtains under vaulted ceilings and a huge boiler-powered pipe organ.
The theater is owned by legendary arcanist Collette Dubois, and her performances cover everything from stage magic to theatre to burlesque.
On
the first floor of the theatre, only standing tickets are sold and tickets cost as much as 5 chamber dollars per person, while those willing to pay a premium price for luxury goods sit on the upper floors and on the balconies of the boxes.
Mary Keynes liked to go to the theater to enjoy the plays, as a middle-class person, they always came here every six months to consume, as for the upper floor and the balcony of the box, Leif Keynes secretly asked the price, and the answer he got was amazing, he was going to buy two tickets to the upper balcony with his wife on the tenth anniversary, to surprise his wife!
!To this end, Leif Keynes has been secretly working until he is fired by Mr. Herman Oslin, the head of the Chamber of Commerce!
The
night breeze and the rustling of the plants between the tombstones woke Mr. Leif Keynes from his memories, and the "whining" of animals sounded around him.
The sound reassured Leif Keynes, who looked down at the creature that was following him, an emaciated hound, not a pure-blood, apparently a mongrel.
"Your name is Lorcy, right? or Rosie?" said Leif Keynes to the hound, trying to ease his nerves through conversation.
The hound, who didn't know if it was named Rosie or Rossi, tilted his head and looked unwilling to take care of Leif.
The head of the cemetery, Mr. Morwach, was a sincere man, and he did not leave Leif Keynes alone in the cemetery, but kindly prepared a companion for him, and this hound was Leif Keynes's partner tonight.
"Ross is a good fellow!" said the cemetery master, Mr. Morwach, to Leif Keynes as he brought the hound, but Keynes clearly saw a hint of fear in his eyes.
"What's the matter, Rose will protect you!" said Mr. Morvach grinned, put down the leash and walked away, walking very fast!
"Remembered!" Keynes smiled at the hound, "your name is Rose!".
Rose glanced up at Keynes and continued to pretend to ignore him.
Keynes was bored with himself, and took out his pocket watch to look at it, he had been working as a grave keeper for ten minutes!
How can it be ten minutes? It feels like an hour has passed!
"Let's go, get to work!" Cairns sighed, tugged on the leash, and led a reluctant Rose into the depths of the darkness.
This cemetery is located in the lower part of Samsara Town, bordering the South Xinjian District, and is backed by the Time Canal, so it is called the Time Canal Cemetery, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Leif Keynes was able to get this job as a grave keeper because he was once an employee of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Damn, you know what? I didn't apply for this job!" After patrolling the first tombstone without anything unusual, Leif Keynes's nervousness eased and he began to babble at Ross.
"It was clearly written in the newspaper that he was the accountant of the canal cemetery management office!" Keynes continued to Ross, "why did I become a grave keeper?".
Rose, the hound, let out a breath from his nose and shook his head.
"Of course you don't, you don't know how unlucky I am!" said Mr. Cairns, as he walked, "you know, since I lost my last job, I have to get another decent job, or those real estate agents, those damned thugs, vampire worms will soon be on my doorstep, and they'll put up a 'consignment' outside the walls of my house, regardless of whether I'm still living in it or not!"
"If I don't pay my rent on time, O god of wealth, 20 chamber of commerce dollars a month, and if I don't pay on time, those blood-sucking worms will throw plague-laden rats into my house, and let the thugs on the streets stand guard at my door all day long, scaring my wife and my children so that we can make room for it!
Mr. Keynes raised his voice suddenly, and Rose's ears pricked up as he looked warily at his partner tonight.
Keynes realized his gaffe and hurriedly lowered his voice, "I'm sorry, I mean, although my savings can last us for a while, Mary has finally entered the circle of neighbors, and Joseph has also mixed with his classmates in a private school, and to maintain a decent life, everything is an expense, and it is empty!"
"So I started flipping through the newspapers, "Samsara Town Daily", "Samsara Town Gossip Daily", and other 'illegal' tabloids, shhhhh
"I'm glad I'm smart!" Mr. Keynes said to Ross with pride, "I saw in the Associated Mines that there was a job for an accountant here! Damn, the Associated Mines was secretly run by the 'Austrian League', and I wonder if I should thank it!".
"I'm here to apply for an accountant, and now you see that I'm a grave keeper and a patrol with you!" Mr. Leif Keynes said to Ross, his expression very helpless.
"Accounting of Canal Cemetery Management Office at the time of recruitment": daily salary of 1.5 chamber of commerce currency, employment requirements: age 30-50 years old, with more than 10 years of accounting experience is preferred, chamber of commerce employees are preferred!
When Leif Keynes saw this job posting, he thought that it was simply tailor-made for him, the position was suitable, the salary was 1.5 chambers of commerce per day, which was half of the daily salary of 3 chamber of commerce coins when he was the chief accountant of the steel mill before, but it was far more advantageous than the coolie workers, enough to support him to maintain his current standard of living!
So Mr. Keynes came to the Canal Cemetery in his second-best suit (the first-best was burned by fire!).
