Chapter 1003: A Chance Encounter

It was destined to be a sleepless night, but it was dawn.

Webster rested for two hours before dawn, and at this time he was very energetic, not at all like a person who stayed up all night.

His cheeks were flushed with a light almost shining through, and he looked as if something good had happened, greeting his colleagues as he entered the town hall, just as he had been in the month he had arrived in Otis.

He had a phone call with his family after Durin had left the previous night, and then another phone call to his guide.

There are many political guides in the political arena, and they can also be called political mentors, after all, this circle seems to be placed in a place where everyone can see, but definitely not everyone can enter. There's no adequate backstage where you can see it, but you can't touch it, unless someone takes you through the door.

The person who brought Webster into the door was his guide or mentor, and Durin also had it, but he didn't admit it, and neither did the gentleman named Hoschton, and everyone now knew that Doolin's political mentor was his Uncle Maggs, and Hothton didn't dare to grab the title, and he couldn't grab it.

Webster's mentor was annoyed when he was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, and no one had harassed him in the middle of the night for many years, not because his status had improved, but because he was getting older and people needed to take care of his sleep. Even if you are in a hurry, you will wait until the day when you are working to talk to him.

But his annoyance was extinguished by the icy waters of the far north after Webster finished telling him what had happened to him.

Dürin's current situation is too good, regardless of whether Mags will really retire completely in a year, his influence on the imperial political arena will not change much in the next five years.

More than 20 years in power have made some things change, if it weren't for Maggs's constant proclamation that this is a new era and a new society, he is only the prime minister of the empire, and even if he suddenly becomes emperor at this time, no one will object. The things that accumulate over time are not so easy to get rid of, and this is definitely not a thing that says it is not a matter of not being able to do it.

If Webster can catch the Doolin line, it will definitely be a breakthrough for Webster. As long as he wants to progress and climb up, he must gather a group of people around him in the political arena to form a new political interest group with Durin as the core. Only then will he be able to compete for what Mags now has and is about to lose.

Moreover, Webster's mentor believes that although Maggs seems to be very selfless, and of course he does, this does not necessarily mean that he is really willing to completely let go of his influence in politics. Durin may be one of the characters he introduced to the forefront, and he will inevitably help Durin reach the top, and then continue to influence the empire by influencing Durin. Then at this time, when Durin's wings are not full enough, it is the best time to invest in him.

The two talked for more than half an hour, and his mentor finally told him to do what Durin said, and not to be afraid of offending anyone. The more he was wronged, the more hurt he suffered, and the more Durin would make up for him.

Although everyone doesn't want to admit it, but they have to admit that Durin may not be a good thing, but in some aspects, such as character and credibility, he still does a good job.

This has led to Webster's red face today, and his intention to open up for another future is a bit sad, but it is also an opportunity.

In the morning, there is a regular meeting of the town hall to summarize the problems found in the government work in the first half of the year and the implementation results of the first half of the year, and then discuss the work carried out in the second half of the year and some handling suggestions. Actually, this is a very ordinary routine meeting, but today's regular meeting is definitely different from the usual, and someone has to jump out.

When the meeting was already at the end and everyone was waiting to end the meeting, Webster suddenly coughed and tapped the table twice, "I have another thing I want to explain here." ”

The big guys were all looking at him, some of them were representatives of the local plutocracy, some were the remnants of political power left by Donald, and a handful were Webster's own men.

The remnants of Doolin had been almost wiped out by the Donald era, Ernst had now gone to another city to campaign, Buck had gone to the Royal Academy for further study, and two or three other minor characters had since dispersed.

They achieved great success during the Durin period, but they were also engraved with the brand of Durin and could not be washed off, even if Webster decided to take refuge in Durin at this moment, it was impossible to use Durin's people, this is a matter of principle.

He was a little inexplicably excited at this time, this is the scene he sometimes fantasizes about, standing in the conference room and telling everyone that he has to deal with those seven shareholders, and then win, get people's admiration and fear, and then go to the peak of life.

As soon as he thought of this, there was an extra layer of smile on his face, and with a hint of inexplicable smugness, he said softly, "Starting today, the city hall will set up an investigation team to investigate the financial problems of the seven major ......"

There was a bang in the conference room, and many people "questioned" Webster in a gossipy voice, why did he do this, did he know what he meant by doing this, even his own cronies looked at Webster in disbelief, afraid that he didn't eat some walnuts that were caught by the door when he went out in the morning?

Why are you stupid all of a sudden?

Looking at the clowns in the conference room, Webster's heart was extremely calm at this time, and his time was coming, because he would have a backer from today onwards.

This world is so wonderful, and Durin is now qualified to be someone else's backer in the political arena, which is really amazing.

Not to mention Webster's uproar at City Hall, Durin looked at an old acquaintance, a woman who had rolled over the sheets with him in the lounge of the mayor's office, with some surprise.

It was a woman, named Natalie, who was originally Doolin's secretary, and there was also a little ambiguity with Doolin, who did not take anyone away after he was dismissed. First, he stopped working after he was dismissed, and these government officials may not be willing to continue to follow him out of the imperial system, and secondly, Dulin believed that even if he left, these people might not have a chance to continue working in Otis City as long as they did not make mistakes, so the matter was settled.

What he didn't expect was that Donald, who he thought was the right successor, would do the most outrageous thing, whether it was instructed by Maggs or not, he couldn't do things that shouldn't have been done, such as transferring the main personnel left behind by Durin from important positions.

Just as Durin didn't realize that he would actually happen to run into Natalie, Natalie didn't expect to accidentally run into Durin, compared to Durin's simple accident, Natalie was a little embarrassed because they rolled over the blameless sheets.

"You're ...... here", this is a special bar, according to the local president, the people who spend here are middle-class, and it is very safe, it seems that the owner has a little bit of a background, and everyone is very good at giving this bar face.

It's very "clean", there are no messy things and people, although it looks a little deserted, mainly because it's daytime, in fact, there are not a lot of people at night, and business is not bad.

It was here that Durin was about to chat with the president of the local association when he saw Natalie.

He sat down next to Natalie with his glass, and the bartender glanced up at Durin before withdrawing his gaze.

At this time, Durin was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and people who were not particularly familiar with him could not see who he was, and the bartender felt that he was okay because of his clothes, his accessories, and people who could afford to wear this grade of clothing would not make trouble in this small bar, which would only make them lose face.

"I haven't seen ...... in a while," Durin greeted, "How's it going?"

Natalie looked at Durin with a smirk, "It's not used to it at first, but people always have to learn to get used to it, don't they?"

Her slender fingers kept drawing circles on the rim of the cup, but Natalie's mental complexity was far greater than she had shown to be calm.

The month after Durin was dismissed from her post, she was transferred by Donald to the archives to manage the various archives of the town hall. It was a very important department, because the full name was "Minutes Archives Depository", but in fact, everyone knew that it was an idle job.

She was a little unconvinced at first, and wanted to show herself seriously for her work, but unfortunately, she didn't show anything yet, and she was transferred to work again and transferred to the polls section as a deputy. It is said that the polling department has a lower status than the archives, and it is also busier.

At least she was the main person in charge in the archives, but when she came to the poll department, not only was she not the main person in charge, but she often had to go out to do questionnaires.

After protesting several times and not even seeing Donald in person, Natalie quit her job in frustration and used her savings to open a bar with the house that Durin had given her.

One of the seven shareholders knew about it, so he instructed the following not to bother Natalie, and by the way, he kept this secret, maybe he would be able to use it one day, which is why the big and small gangs did not dare to come here to fish for the wrong door, and some big people said hello.

She thought that she would only see Durin in the newspaper or on TV in her life, but she didn't expect that there would be a reunion one day, and it would be in her own bar.

There is a trace of resentment in my heart, a trace of sighing, and a little bit of things that I can't understand.
