Louis has a secret that no one knows.

His father was not the honest and loyal cobbler, but the ruler of the city, the mayor of Namirinders.

His mother, who used to be the mayor's mistress, was unable to marry the mayor because she was pregnant, so she chose a leathersmith with a good family background and a very loyal and honest person as her future life partner. He was able to find out about it because he secretly followed his mother when he was seven years old, playing a game of police catching thieves that only one person knew, and he watched his mother enter a luxurious villa and not come out for a long time.

He waited at the door for a long time, not that he didn't want to go home, but that he forgot his way home.

Then he saw his mother come out of the villa with a man by the arm, and both men saw him. He remembered the man pointing at him and asking whose child it was.

His mother smiled and told the man, this is your child.

He was an illegitimate child, and for a long time he felt it was an insult to him, and hated his mother for it, as well as his father, whom he had only met once. He wanted to tell his current father about it many times, but he thought that the family might be broken, and that the father who always treated him as his only one might collapse, so he kept the secret in his heart.

Until he came of age.

The world of adults and the world of children seem to be different, children always have a very clear view of right and wrong, which is good and that is bad, and will not easily change their original intention to distinguish right from wrong because of anyone's persuasion or the temptation of candy. But adults are different, adults have been tempted or coerced too much, and they are always bowing to the constant compromise of fate, which is obviously right, but they will also violate their conscience and say that it is wrong, just to avoid getting themselves harmed.

It wasn't until his father gave him a set of tools and knives for making leather goods, that he realized that this might not be the path he wanted to take. He didn't want to waste his life in a small room messing around with the weird smell of leather, he didn't want to be a cobbler, he didn't want to pick up the stinky feet of those high-ranking people, and he had to carefully measure the data for them. He didn't want to be the cobbler who sold a lot of leather goods, but he didn't want to wear them, even if the cobbler could make a lot of money, and it was someone's dream.

So he approached his biological father, hoping that he would arrange a decent job for him. The man didn't immediately answer him, but made him shout "papa", which was what his father meant, only more colloquially.

Since then, he has received his first pot of gold, a thousand dollars, and a promising job - the owner of a company.

He built a garbage station at his father's request for 1,000 yuan, then bought some human-powered garbage trucks and got a community garbage collection project in unimaginable ways. He once thought it was his biological father humiliating him, and it wasn't until after the first month that he realized that this was life.

Garbage may seem like a small thing, but it is, and the garbage produced in Downtown is always just garbage. But in Uptown, especially in neighborhoods populated by upper-class people, garbage is precious. The rich people and their women didn't care how many times they wore their clothes, whether they were torn or not, and they would throw them in the trash as soon as the time came.

These clothes, which were worth hundreds of dollars some time ago, became garbage, and in addition to garbage, there were also "worthless" trinkets, or furniture and other things. He only needs to transport these things to the recycling station, and with a simple disposal, he can sell them to ordinary people at a relatively high price, and even some middle-class people have become his regular customers. The fact that they buy these luxuries at a low price is enough for them to bring out their wealth and decency, which is a good deal, for everyone.

His dumpster business grew and grew, eventually eliminating all the human garbage trucks and replacing them with better trucks, and expanding the business throughout Uptown. No one knows about his relationship with the mayor, only their "family" knows.

He had thought that he would probably grow up in these garbage heaps forever for the rest of his life, occasionally helping his biological father, the great mayor, spy on some big people or what to look for in their garbage. Until some time ago, his father sent him a sum of money to buy some very expensive and heavy machines, and also ordered a lot of materials.

So, he had such a factory, a spare parts factory for the production of "money".

Everything he produces here is sold to another person who used to be the mayor's secretary and was fired for making a mistake. Just as many people don't know that Louis is the mayor's son, these people don't know that the secretary and the mayor are still very close. He was fired, just to make a show for others to see, and he helped the mayor deal with things that were not done from an official point of view.

Nami Lindes is mixed, and there are some things that are really inconvenient for the official to take action. For example, some people didn't follow the rules of the game in the city, they crossed the line, but they didn't leave any obvious handles. You know they deserve to die, but you just can't make a move.

At this time, the role of the secretary is manifested, and he can do it, because he is a despicable villain, and even the generous mayor can't tolerate him. The dispute between him and those people is nothing more than an after-dinner conversation for most ordinary people, like a dog-eat-dog anecdote.

This is the mayor's twenty-two years of iron-blooded rule in Namillinders, and he said that he will not go anywhere in this life, even if he retires, he will retire in Namilinders. These words made many people become his supporters, and they felt that this was a very, very rare ...... good mayor.

The bespectacled-looking former secretary walked through the small door into the factory, glanced at the basket of assembled tokens stacked on the side, and took out a notebook to record it.

"Don't you worry about me?", Louis was very upset every time he saw this guy record everything he saw here with a notebook and pen, which made him feel like a thief, and he was in his own factory!

The former secretary smiled and put away the notebook and pen, "I can't talk about it!", in fact, Louis was right, the former secretary was indeed not at ease with him, the mayor did not say what the relationship between Louis and him was, but with the tacit understanding that the former secretary has been helping the mayor all these years, he has guessed how this bastard and the mayor are involved. He doesn't look down on this kid, and it is a matter of course, except for relying on the mayor's face to contract the garbage recycling in Shangcheng District, and he has a little fame, he is not motivated at all.

If it had been someone else, with such a good platform, maybe it would have developed better. And this guy knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and wait for death all day long, how can he look down on such a guy?

Garbage is always garbage, and it will not stop garbage because it can be sold for money.

"I'm going to take this batch of goods with me, you arrange for someone to load the truck, and now when you're done with these things, stop and go back to visit our friends to see how they're doing. The former secretary gave an order and walked to the edge of the assembly line, picked up a polished chip, and rubbed it carefully.

These tokens have a layer of silver on their surface, and they have gone to great lengths to get these materials. The large denomination tokens used in Otis City have unique features, such as 500 coins that feel like they're made of silver, and 1,000 coins that look like they're made of gold. In order to imitate it so that it is difficult to distinguish, they finally adopted a stupid method, that is, copper-clad.

After hammering silver and gold into a piece as light as a piece of cloth, then wrapping it in a copper plate, and overcoming many difficulties, it took them three days to solve the problem of making a large denomination token.

These things...... , but it's all money!

A hint of intoxication flashed in the eyes of the former secretary, and he quickly came to his senses, if according to the design of the mayor, even if the Namilinders were decayed, their earnings would not be shaken too much. Every day, a steady stream of cash flows into their pockets from the city of Otis. In the past, the mayor did not intend to leave this place because of many interests involved, but seeing that Namirinders was about to embark on the road of decline, the mayor suddenly had the idea of running for governor.

It takes money to run for governor, and only a lot of money can buy off key and important people, get those members of the state legislature to cast their precious votes, and make more propaganda posters to plaster the streets. Only when they have a lot of money can they use it to attract people from all walks of life and tick the box that belongs to the mayor in the next election year.

It's good to be able to raise more money for yourself, and at the same time be able to fight this opponent who has ruined the mayor's business for 22 years.

After the ex-secretary left with all the tokens he had saved, Louis put on his coat. He didn't like the former secretary in his mouth, but he knew that this person represented his own father, and he had to pay a return visit to the people who had used the fake tokens to see if anything was wrong.

At night, he found a phone booth in a cold sweat and made a call to his former secretary.

"Coaster's family is missing, and some people say they watched their whole family get into a car to Otis City, but they haven't come back yet. He hasn't called his company either, will he ......?"
