American Tax Officer

With those words, the higher-ups who supported Brown immediately became cheerful, while those in David\'s camp, led by Donald, had their faces darken.

However, since Obadiah had agreed, they naturally couldn\'t say much more.

After returning to his office, Donald immediately picked up the phone and called the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.

Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.

After the assessment period meeting dispersed, David gathered his Inspectors in the office to allocate the cases and matters to be prepared for this assessment period.

Afterward, he began to feel increasingly anxious.

Because he knew all too well that although the "Deification Plan" did not specify a deadline, today marked the end of the assessment period, and the headquarters would surely discuss this matter.

There was even a high probability that they would make a selection today and then announce it to the entire Inspector system.

This assessment period, because of Stevenson\'s waste of time, his tax performance was only third, and he didn\'t know if he would be chosen.

But he thought...

The high-level executives at headquarters would also consider the platform factors, right...

After all, his city was Las Vegas, while Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros were in major cities like Los Angeles and New York.

Even so, his tax performance was only slightly behind the two of them; the headquarters\' higher-ups couldn\'t just ignore this, right?

Just as David was feeling restless, a knock on the door brought him back to reality, and he called out immediately, "Come in."

The visitor was William\'s secretary. She said, "Director David, Chief William is asking you to stop by his office."

Upon hearing this, David\'s nerves tightened even more.

Being called over at this time, could it be that there was some result from the headquarters?

Thinking this, he immediately stood up and hurried to Chief William\'s office door. After knocking and receiving a response, he pushed the door open and asked, "Chief, you wanted to see me?"

William pointed to the desk phone set aside and replied, "To be exact, it\'s Deputy Director Donald from the headquarters who wants to speak with you."

David\'s expression tightened. It seemed indeed related to the "Deification Plan"; otherwise, the high-ups at the headquarters wouldn\'t be calling him directly.

With his heart pounding, he approached the desk, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello Deputy Director Donald, this is David."

"Hello, Director David. I wanted to talk to you today primarily about the \'Deification Plan\'."

"The result is out?"

"Not yet."

Hearing that, David felt a slight relief.

He dreaded the headquarters deciding the outcome solely based on tax performance, but now, since the result was still pending, whatever requirement the high-level conference came up with next, he would be able to strive and fulfill.

After all, having resolved the issue with Stevenson and having won over the new Governor Laurie, Nevada State could pretty much be said to be under his influence.

If in this new assessment period the higher-ups required to be first in tax performance to be elected, he was not the least bit afraid.

He couldn\'t believe that with the tax support of an entire state, he couldn\'t outperform those two from Los Angeles and New York!

"Actually, by all rights, you should be the one elected since you are the greatest contributor to our department\'s resurgence in the face of the public over the years, and moreover, cities like Sparks and Henderson have once again demonstrated our IRS\'s authority to the whole of America."

"Most importantly, you\'re in a small subdivision like the Lake District of Las Vegas and still managed to rank in the top three nationally in tax performance, not far behind the first and second."

"So I was very supportive of your election at the high-level meeting."

"Unfortunately, as the Deputy Director of headquarters, I cannot decide such a significant matter by myself."

"Aside from a few others and myself, many high-level executives, including the Chief Consultant, support people like Brown Soros and Bellamy Hadith..."

In truth, with Donald\'s status, there was no need for him to explain so patiently to David, but he did so out of high regard for David, and as a way to appease him, he had lowered his stance.

After listening to this explanation, David\'s heart sank.

As an IRS insider, he fully understood the weight of the Chief Consultant, a role that could stand on equal footing with the Director.

And this individual supported Brown Soros, no wonder that even though Donald was the Deputy Director overseeing the Anti-Tax Evasion bill, he couldn\'t simply secure his election.

But the problem now arose.

If the Chief Consultant supported Brown Soros, without any other disturbance, it should\'ve been him getting elected, right?

Why did Donald just say that the result was still not out?

Could it be...

```

Was it the General Director who jumped out to express his support for him?

It seemed only with such support from the chief consultant that Brown Soros could still fail to be elected directly!

In an instant, David roughly guessed the situation of the high-level meeting.

And the following words from Donald confirmed his guess.

"But you don\'t need to worry too much, our Director Obadiah has recognized your potential and expressed his support for you."

"After some discussion, we came up with a unified plan."

"That is, to take this assessment period as an exam, you three, including others, whoever achieves the highest tax performance in this round, will be elected to the \'Project of Deification\'."

"However, we have also taken into account the disadvantage of your platform, so you can apply to be transferred to a higher platform, and we will approve it as quickly as possible. What do you think?"

It was indeed almost as David had expected.

But if it had been before, facing the General Bureau\'s green light to move to another bigger platform, he would have certainly given it some thought.

But now, with the entire Nevada State under his control, he naturally would not consider this.

Without hesitating for too long, he directly replied over the phone, "No need, Deputy Director Donald. I am quite adept at the taxation work here in Nevada State, moving to a new platform would just tie my hands and feet. I don\'t need to be transferred, I\'ll stay right here."

There were only two people in the office, so William could roughly hear the content of the phone call, and he was extremely anxious when he heard Donald say that David could be allowed to move to another big platform.

But fortunately, David didn\'t even think about it before directly refusing, which made him secretly sweat.

"Are you sure?"

"I\'m very sure!"

"Well, if that\'s the case, then I won\'t force you. But remember, this assessment period is particularly important for your career advancement. If you really win it, it wouldn\'t be an exaggeration to say you could accelerate by at least 10 years. Try your best to compete."

"I understand, Deputy Director Donald."

"Alright, let\'s leave it at that for now."

"Goodbye, Deputy Director Donald."

After hanging up the phone, William immediately said, "Thank goodness Director Obadiah stood by your side in this high-level meeting, otherwise Brown Soros would have been elected for sure!"

David also felt a sense of relief.

This was the reflection of one\'s background. To put it bluntly, if the armed actions he led, along with the major incidents in Sparks and Henderson, plus the downfall of Stevenson, had happened to Bellamy Hattie or Brown Soros, these two wouldn\'t just be ranked third in the tax achievements, they would\'ve likely been elected in the fourth or fifth position.

It was only because he didn\'t have the support of a background that he wasn\'t elected directly, despite having led so many awe-inspiring events in America.

"But don\'t worry, our Lake District Sub-Bureau will definitely do our best to help you ascend this time. Besides, you\'ve taken control of the state government and entered into major project cooperation with cities all over the state. I believe you can still beat those two!"

William had long realized that David was no ordinary individual.

Therefore, he had not planned to keep David in their Lake District Sub-Bureau indefinitely, but as long as David was elected for the \'Project of Deification\' while in their jurisdiction, he, as the Chief of the Lake District Sub-Bureau, would naturally get some credit.

This was also one of the reasons he got nervous when he first heard Donald say that David could be transferred – because if David were transferred to another sub-bureau, then if he were really elected, the glory would go to that sub-bureau, not theirs.

"I was thinking the same..."

William nodded and replied, "Then I won\'t disturb you any longer. Just let me know if you need anything."

"Alright."

As David and William were talking, the results of the \'Project of Deification\' had also reached the ears of various sub-bureaus and inspectors across the country.

Los Angeles Long Beach Branch.

Upon hearing that the one with the highest tax performance in this new assessment period would be elected, Bellamy Hattie was not worried but rather pleased in his heart.

Before this, in terms of tax performance contribution, he was not as good as Brown Soros from New York.

And in terms of charisma and prestige, he was not as influential as David from Las Vegas, leaving him somewhat betwixt and between.

Among the three, he could be said to have the lowest chance of being elected.

But fortunately, the criteria for election in the \'Project of Deification\' had now been clearly set, indicating that the highest tax contribution in this assessment period would be enough to get elected, giving him a chance to compete!

New York, Manhattan Branch.

"Damn it, what does Director Obadiah mean by this? Our Chief Tax Officer has been at the top of the tax performance charts for years; he should have been elected directly. Why now do we have to go through another round?"

"Our Revenue Service is mainly responsible for tax collection, and our Chief Tax Officer has generated the most tax revenue for the Revenue Service since the passage of the black tax law. It\'s disgusting not to be elected!"

"Chief Tax Officer, I feel Deputy Director Donald and Director Obadiah are indeed biased. Why don\'t we... raise the issue with the General Bureau again?"

The inspectors under Brown\'s command were discontent with the outcome.
