Chapter 854: The Curtain Falls (Part 2)

"As you can see, we have established a company-style organization, divided into a sales department, a statistics department, a distribution department, and a field team..."

"The sales department will go to the buildings near the first, second, and third phases to promote to the residents. Some are responsible for promoting the combination of newspapers and milk, some are responsible for promoting errand services, and others are responsible for promoting the purchasing service for food and daily necessities..."

"Most of the children in this department have relatively good eloquence. Those children who are good at promoting will also teach other children how to promote the things they want to sell..."

"The statistics department is responsible for counting the orders they get. Of course, many children write words in a mess, so we can only pay to hire that university teacher and two other adults who write well to help us write orders..."

"The children in the statistics department generally don't need to leave the building, so they are all children who are physically weak or younger. Running up and down the stairs isn't too tiring."

"After the orders are written, they will be sent to the distribution department. The children in the distribution department will classify all orders, divide them into different groups according to type and region, and then send them to the children in the field team to let them do the work."

"The distribution department doesn't even need to leave the office, so it is a place for some disabled children or children who are too weak to move to work..."

"And the field team is where the vast majority of children stay. Those children who ran errands before are all in this group."

"They come to the office every morning to get orders, and after getting them, they can just go deliver them. They don't have to do everyone's work alone like before, having to promote, remember every order, remember the delivery address and the person to deliver to, and occasionally if they messed up, they might not get money..."

"In addition, the field team is basically divided into three groups, morning, middle, and night shifts. The morning shift delivers milk, newspapers, and breakfast food, the middle shift purchases daily necessities and food, and the night shift runs errands for people, delivering letters and other things."

"In this way, almost every child in the field team can have half a day free to go to school."

Cobblepot raised an eyebrow and asked: "There is a school here?"

Jason nodded and said: "On the 5th floor, but it's not a proper school. Wayne Enterprises brought a pile of books, and the older children lead the younger children to read. Occasionally, teachers will come over, but they are not full-time teachers. They are generally professors from Cat Getan University, so they can only stay for an hour or two to encourage the children."

"In addition, there is a daycare center on the 7th floor. Those children who are too young are all there, and there are special people to take them to practice word spelling."

Jason shrugged and said: "After efficiency is improved, everyone has more time to do other things, instead of spending the whole day earning money to fill their stomachs."

"When these phases of the project are all connected, we won't even have to be exposed to the wind and sun, won't have to be rained on, we only need to run around inside the building. Even going up and down the stairs has elevators, so there will be more free time."

"I have already heard. Three or four children said they wanted to take the vocational college exam. After all, the commercial street repair shop in the third phase project has already been built. From their home to the commercial street there, the journey is only 10 minutes, which is the best employment choice."

Jason took a sip of water, paused, and continued: "And, what makes people even happier is that ever since all the residents moved in here, I have never seen an abandoned baby again."

"As far as I know, there have been about five or six mothers who gave birth in the last two or three months, but they didn't abandon their children. Two of the mothers are under 20, and there is even one whose husband died, but they didn't just ignore them after giving birth like in the past, they all hugged them home to raise them themselves."

Cobblepot nodded and said: "Indeed, there used to be so many abandoned babies, nothing more than because many couples didn't pay attention when falling in love, got pregnant and broke up, and had no money for an abortion, so they could only choose to give birth."

"Many single mothers simply couldn't raise their children. In the month approaching production, labor ability would decline, which would very likely lead to them losing their jobs and having no place to live, making it difficult to even support themselves."

"Even if they insisted on raising them, they might die due to various accidental events. It would be better to find a place to put them down, and there is a high probability they would be picked up by gangs or children's gangs, at least they could survive."

Jason continued: "Now, at least they have a stable place to live, the house won't leak wind or rain, the children won't catch a cold, and it's relatively safe. They can put the children at home without worrying about home invasion or thieves."

After speaking, Jason sighed again and said: "I hope this batch of children growing up with their mothers can have a better temper, and don't be like those wild children raised by gangs, whose brains are full of fighting."

"Where did that group of children go?" Cobblepot asked.

"Quite a few gang leaders here have died, many gangs have disbanded on the spot. After dividing the houses, everyone became neighbors, and there is no need to fight for past things anymore. That group of kids is now also employees of the Everything Shop, but they have bad tempers and always cause trouble."

"That's already quite good." Cobblepot leaned back in his chair and said: "The two blocks where the Bingshan Lounge is located should be in the renovation plan of the fifth and sixth phases. I am thinking, should I take this opportunity to expand the scale and incidentally turn the children's gang there into a similar model..."

The two discussed the business model of the Everything Shop for a while, and both discovered that the other party was very talented.

Jason was more inclined to leadership and insight into human nature, while Cobblepot was a business genius. The two hit it off almost immediately, intending to promote the model here to the entire East District.

The two discussed until dark. After finishing, Cobblepot went to the Bingshan Lounge again and reviewed his business map in his mind.

But just at this time, he received a call. The person on the other side told him that a firefight had finally broken out in the area where Savage was located.

At this time, in the hallway of the South District of the Living Hell, Savage bent down to dodge a surprise attack from an agent, but the other side was obviously very professional. "Bang, bang," two shots blocked his movement route, and three more agents rushed out from the elevator at the other end.

Savage was surrounded, but he could still find a way to break out. He seized the flaw, rushed past between two agents, shook off the four or five agents behind him, and jumped out directly from the window at the end of the hallway.

Below was an awning. Savage borrowed the force to jump and arrived on the balcony of the next floor. Following the balcony, he turned the corner and went down from the other side.

But just after arriving on the ground, he discovered two cars driving toward him. He instinctively felt that this must be an agent's trap, so he turned and ran in another direction.

But he didn't discover that the people sitting in the car were actually just ordinary gang members, and the direction he was forced to leave was exactly the North District of the Living Hell.

The North District was different from the South District. On one hand, most of the people living here were gang thugs, and on the other hand, Savage had tried to force his way through the North District gate before, and almost everyone here knew him.

Watching Savage rush over, they thought this freak was going to break in again, so it was another scene of gongs and drums, firecrackers ringing.

In the pursuit of the agents, Savage wasn't injured, but after he plunged into the North District, he was first grazed on the arm by a stray bullet, and then his eyelid was scratched by gravel splashed by a rocket hitting the ground. When he saw a tank chasing toward him, he decisively chose to speed up and leave the Living Hell area.

But this didn't mean the pursuit was over. More gang members were disturbed, children ran back and forth in the crowd to pass messages, and more and more gangs chased Savage, almost catching up to the situation when the Green Lantern Corps descended and the whole people were mobilized.

The entire East District boiled over, and everyone was catching Savage, this freak.

Even with all his martial arts, Savage really couldn't fight four hands with two fists. Let alone so many gang members with guns and cannons, even if it were the same number of sheep, the devil's descent would have to kill for a while. Savage had no intention of entangling with them and could only fight while retreating.

Guns and cannons have no eyes. As time went on, there were more and more wounds on Savage's body. And very coincidentally, it rained in Cat Getan again.

The cold rainwater washed over the wounds on Savage's body. Before long, Savage felt that the wounds were feverish and swollen as if infected. Moreover, the rain this night was exceptionally cold. When it fell on his forehead, it made him feel his consciousness was a bit blurry.

With a "bang," Savage fell from the wall of the alley. A long wound was cut on his arm by shattered glass. The blood wouldn't stop and was still hurting, causing him not to exert full force when supporting himself just now, which caused him to fall directly.

The gang's car had already approached before his eyes. Savage clenched his fists tightly. Just as he intended to fight to the death, the reflection on the puddle flashed, and a pair of hands dragged Savage directly into the puddle, or rather, into the mirror reflection of the puddle.

"Are you alright? Your Majesty?" Mirror Master's voice rang in Savage's ear. He said: "My god, you are bleeding so much, I must stop the bleeding for you first..."

"Take me away from here quickly!" Savage said hurriedly. He said: "The agents are targeting me, and that group of damn gangs too. We must leave here quickly!"

"But you are seriously injured now, Your Majesty. We must find a place to rest first..."

"There's no time!" Savage gritted his teeth and said: "Didn't you say that people in the normal world can't stay in the mirror world for too long? We must take this opportunity to transfer quickly. If we are still in the same place when we go out, we will still be besieged!"

"Alright."

Mirror Master took Savage and shuttled through the mirror space. In the process, his gaze caught the wounds on Savage's body that were constantly bleeding, and the rainwater that soaked his coat.

It could be very clearly seen that Savage was already a bit chaotic. On a rainy day in Cat Getan, exposing wounds, being washed by rainwater, madness was only a matter of time.

Mirror Master revealed a cold smile, but still pushed open a door in the mirror space. After landing, it was a peaceful and quiet apartment room in Central City.

"Your Majesty, Cat Getan is too dangerous, and you are injured again. It's better to rest here for a period of time before going back." Mirror Master said to Savage: "This is the apartment I rented before, the rent hasn't expired yet, you can stay here first..."

"Where are you going?" Savage looked at Mirror Master and asked.

"I must go back. Captain Cold and Pied Piper are still in the hands of those Gothamites. I have to save them, right?" Mirror Master put his hands on his hips and sighed: "Those two professors at Cat Getan University are too hard to deal with. I also ran out when they weren't paying attention..."

"But. Captain Cold and Pied Piper don't have such abilities. If they are also trapped inside, then your efforts for so long will be in vain. We must at least withdraw our manpower!"

Savage sighed deeply and looked at the bustling traffic in Central City outside the window, actually feeling an inexplicable tranquility.

At this time, he was all alone. Most of the liquid funds and collections were left in Cat Getan, and the subordinates he carefully selected and trained were also left there. He didn't bring anything back except for his injuries.

But at this moment, Savage felt very lucky. That terrible city was like a microcosm of the madness of the whole world, and returning to the orderly society, he felt completely relieved.

He thought, well, at least he was still alive. Money could be earned again if it was gone, and people could be recruited again if they were gone. At least, he, the great king Vandal Savage, was still there.

A temporary failure is not forever.

Savage looked at the night sky of Central City. He thought, next time, when he comes to Cat Getan again, he will definitely make everyone submit to the power of the great king and bring the deepest fear to everyone.

And in the office of Cat Getan University, Schiller flicked the beads of an abacus and said: "Forcing him to fight to the death is not worth it at all..."

"Let him go back to eat some grass, get a bit fatter, and only then can we slaughter him again."
