Chapter 488: My Own People [1]
"Don't make a noise about this matter for now, I'll give you news later. ”
The former secretary hung up the phone and reported the matter to the mayor, who was a little hesitant, he was not sure whether Durin knew or not.
He had met the young man, who had been in the hospital for a while in Namirinders when he had been assassinated last time, and the mayor had gone with him when Harry went to visit him. In the hospital room, he saw the young man who was often praised by Harry, and his youth really startled the mayor. He greeted Durin with a smile on his face, but the jealousy in his heart was tearing at his heart.
It took him eleven years to go from humble clerk to mayor, and in that time he had given so much that it could be said that he had nothing for a long time. What dignity, personality, and other things that were on the lips of those scholars were turned into steps for him to rise.
The previous mayor of Namirinders, his former boss, was a very filthy aristocrat. At that time, the New Party had not yet overthrown the rotten imperial system of government, and was on the eve of an outbreak. In that environment, it would be impossible for him, an ordinary person, to become a mayor in his life, because he was not a nobleman and he had no territory.
Namirinders was the mayor's former family domain, oh no, it shouldn't be the mayor, it should be the consul.
He was like a man without skin and no face who served the noble consul, and the consul looked down on him, because His Excellency felt that he was a man with no moral bottom line, and even sacrificed his wife to seek greater power. The people in the city didn't like him either, he was the dogleg of the consuls, and every month he would take the whip and the soldiers to collect taxes from house to house, and sometimes beat people.
It was at that time that he quietly joined the New Party, and then waited for the dawn.
He became the mayor of the city of Otis and became a big man, and he has been running the city as his own. Perhaps this was influenced by His Excellency the Consul, who once owned the city and now made it his own.
He used everything he could, never thinking about his own decency, and developed the city into a jewel in the heart of the empire, making the whole city proud of him.
But look at that young man, who still has a small beard and is still fluffy, already holds all the power of a city, and he is a threat to his city. People are talking about how Doolin is, whether it is good or bad, makes him jealous. For when he was the same age as Dorin, he was watching His Excellency the Archon undress his wife.
Jealousy, like a poisonous snake, injected a venom called viciousness into his heart.
The silent air was very uncomfortable, and after a while, he said into the microphone: "Don't send that batch over for the time being, observe it for a few more days." Arrange for a little people to go over and inquire about the situation, and by the way, look to see if you can find Coaster. When he said this, he hesitated for a moment, and said with a kind of uncertain hesitation: "Arrange for someone to keep an eye on Durin's gang, and if they make any special moves, we will strike first." ”
After hanging up the phone, the mayor faced the window, and the setting sun tried his best to cast the afterglow on the earth, but it could not stop the darkness and shadows from coming.
If Durin is unreasonable, then he doesn't need to be reasonable.
It wasn't Savi's first time in Otis, but it was his first time in Otis when it was fully open, and the young people barely had enough eyes to keep their eyes on the buildings on the side of the road, or on the girls who were so good looking. Some of these women are tourists, some are local girls, and they don't need to sell their jerky or skilled skills, they just need to change into beautiful clothes and walk around the city.
For this reason, Durin would pay them a salary ranging from twenty-five to forty-five dollars a month, which was necessary. Not only the girls, but also the sunny and handsome boys were treated the same, changing into the heart-warming clothes that Durin had prepared for them, and then revealing all the muscles that had been honed by hard work on the street.
In Dulin's memories of dreams, there is a phenomenon called the "face effect", which is simply to put it simply, as long as you look good, you can attract people. With so many handsome guys and beauties appearing on the streets of Otis City, many people will regard this place as a holy place to find love, which will further boost the full explosion of the local tourism economy.
"What a change here, Sister Dove. Savi followed Dove's side with a look of amazement, and couldn't help but sigh: "Duringo must be very happy, this is his credit!By the way, why give me this?", Savi took out a token in his pocket, a denomination of five dollars, and some smaller denominations.
"This is the token, and in this city the denomination of the token is equivalent to the denomination of the Imperial Star Dollar. You can go anywhere to spend your money, which is a special feature of the city of Otis. Dove explained to Savi according to Durin's words, but she didn't know what this feature was.
After the business has been open for the past few days, some tourists have put forward some suggestions, such as some venues can only use tokens to spend, but because of the rule of no change, they feel a little uneconomical. Something that can be done with only 50 points, at least a dollar has to be taken out, and some people can't look at it happily. When Durin found out, he immediately asked the token factory to add a set of fifty cents, which tended to be more like the coins of the Empire.
The size is only slightly larger than the fingernail of a thumb, and it received a lot of praise from the first day it was put on the market, both for Doolin and for the town hall. At least the speed of the city hall allows travelers to see a city hall that is really serving everyone, not the kind of high-minded old man.
Everywhere Durin went, he would be greeted as soon as he showed up, and soon there would be passers-by who would come up and ask for an autograph or something. He is not a big star, but he seems to have the posture of a star, and he may be a political star.
So he didn't go to pick up Savi personally, but arranged for Dove, who was very familiar with Savi.
At night, the entire city of Otis is transformed into a city that never sleeps, and the sky above the city is lit up by various neon lights like a dreamlike world, and in Durin's villa, a group of people gather around, talking and laughing.
This time Savi had brought only nine men with him, and ninety others had stayed in Namirlinders, which Durin had asked him to do. He was talking to Dover about his training at the military base, while Keena focused on snacks and television.
"You have to go back. Dove stood in the corner of the hall and looked at Buck with a serious face, "It's not early, you've had a busy day, go back and take a shower, and then get some sleep and be obedient." ”
Buck looked at Dove a little incomprehensibly, during this time he felt that he had successfully integrated into Dorin's small group, he had become good friends with Dover, and Keenah, and he even took out his first salary in his life to hire these two bastards to find a skilled woman once.
He could tell that something must be going on in the evening, for Kena had come back from the security company very early, and he had been staying with the security company all this time, and there was nothing he would not come back for. On the way, he met Buck of Kenah, and immediately came with him to Doolin's villa. He had a sense of anticipation that maybe after tonight, everything would be different.
"Why?", Buck was a little angry, he finally had such an opportunity to integrate into the core, why didn't his sister let himself participate?he asked in a low voice a little angrily, "Or do you not want me to have a better future?" This is definitely a small gathering within Mr. Doolin, as long as I haven't attended such a party for a day, I will never be my own!"
Dove looked at Buck a little surprised, this kind of thing he would never have said before, not that he didn't say it, but that he couldn't have said such a reasonable thing.
Just when she couldn't make up her mind, Durin came back from outside.
He casually took off his hat and threw it on the cabinet by the door, then took off his coat. He was not a rotten nobleman, and he could do nothing but take off his gloves and take off his pants, and he also saw Buck, and asked a little strangely, "Didn't you go home to rest?" I heard that you were tired for the past two days. ”
Duhrin is not saying nice things, he is telling the truth. There are always people who try to push their limits in all kinds of popular amusement projects, and there have been dozens of faintings, and there are some accidental injuries, and the most serious guy has a broken toe. Since Buck is in charge of the medical business, he must not sit in the office and enjoy a leisurely time, and Durin explains that he must be on the front line, must solve all problems at the first time, and must show his enthusiasm to the whole city.
These days can give Buck's behavior and attitude an eighty points, and the points deducted are that he still lacks a little passion, but it is enough for him, and he has done much better than Durin expected.
"I'm not tired...... I saw Kenah when I got off work, so I followed him back......", Buck suddenly plucked up his courage and looked at Durin, "Mr. Doolin, I want to stay. ”
Durin looked at him a little strangely, "I didn't say to drive you away, you did a very good job and didn't let me find the problem of driving you away." ”
"I mean...... I want to join your little meeting!", Buck's voice was slightly higher, "I want to be one of my own!"
