“So, as long as Congress firmly stands with us, maybe we’ll have better ways to handle this?”
“You an?”
Coshek Kevin looked at Michael Ribeiro with a suspicious gaze and asked.
Michael Ribeiro said in a deep voice, “If Congress can firmly support us, then we can release so information about the investigation we are conducting on Donnie Block.
Only by doing so can we better overshadow the impact of Donnie’s article and get more Arican public on our side!”
Coshek Kevin was sowhat tempted by Michael Ribeiro’s suggestion.
Due to the article, Donnie’s prestige had reached its peak in the hearts of the Arican people.
However, if concrete evidence could prove that their investigation of Donnie Block was legitimate, it would attract even more public attention.
...
However…
It’s still that sentence, Donnie Block’s private liquor business has too much influence.
If really made public, it’s very likely to beco an uncontrollable situation, no longer targeting just Donnie Block.
Instead, it would turn into a struggle against the entire private liquor business interest group.
If that were the case, such a force would tear him to shreds!
“I need to think about this matter!” Coshek Kevin could not make a decision about it.
Michael Ribeiro knew that Coshek Kevin was going to consult with Congress and just nodded, reminding him, “You’d better be quick because if the influence of this matter is not guided, it’s certain to grow bigger!”
Coshek Kevin did have so ability of his own and said, “Mika, notify the dia, except for Starry Entertainnt, to reduce coverage of this matter.
As long as they don’t report on it, the influence will remain within a controllable range!”
Michael Ribeiro said, “I will take care of this, but you should know that convincing them won’t be an easy task, even for the IRS!”
“An Arican’s Arican Dream” is a heavyweight article that could trigger national public discussion.
With the help of ABC, such a hot topic, to make the Arican dia not cover it is like taking money out of their hands!
When it cos to self-interest, even the IRS cannot make them completely abandon their enthusiasm for reporting on this matter.
Coshek Kevin first said angrily, “These detestable people, if it weren’t for…”
If it weren’t for a Donnie Block already giving them enough of a headache, Coshek Kevin would have severely dealt with them!
Michael Ribeiro said coldly, “You’d better not have such thoughts!”
Though it seems like Arican dia dare to report on anything, in reality, they are also regulated by the U.S.
Governnt, but it’s not possible for just one power sector like the IRS to make those dia give up their own interests completely.
If that were the case, the entire Arican dia would target the IRS, and then the IRS itself would also suffer.
.
While Coshek Kevin and Michael Ribeiro were discussing the matter, Bixir ndy had an unexpected visitor!
Eric Liribeiro!
Bixir ndy could never have imagined that Eric Liribeiro would co to see him, let alone bring a docunt that was tempting enough to make his heart race!
“Eric, do you realize what this docunt represents?”
Bixir ndy looked at the docunt in his hands, his breathing slightly heavy as he spoke.
Naturally, this docunt was the material about Coshek Kevin that Donnie had given him previously!
“Of course, I do!” Eric Liribeiro said.
“It’s precisely because I know what this docunt represents that I brought it to you, Mr.
ndy!”
Bixir ndy, being able to serve as the Deputy Director of the IRS, certainly wasn’t a fool.
He understood what making the docunt public would an for the IRS, and what it would an for himself!
If made public, it would be the biggest scandal for the IRS in nearly ten years, and of course, he might have the chance to succeed Coshek Kevin as the Director of the IRS.
But, is this matter really that easy?
“If this docunt ended up in the hands of your father, it would certainly have an even greater effect!”
Bixir ndy asked.
Eric Liribeiro gave a bitter smile, “But do you think my father would let this docunt beco public?”
Bixir ndy was taken aback for a mont, then thought of Michael Ribeiro’s character; IRS’s reputation was more important to Michael Ribeiro than anything else.
He indeed wouldn’t let this docunt beco public.
“Then what’s in it for you to hand this docunt over to ?” Bixir ndy asked.
Eric Liribeiro spoke calmly, “I hope to form an alliance with you.
Whether or not Coshek Kevin steps down this ti, my father won’t beco the director of IRS, he no longer has any hope for that, but I do.
So I hope you can promise , when you’re the director of IRS, to give access to more resources as much as possible!”
Bixir ndy thought for a while and said, “I can’t give you an answer right now, this matter is not going to be that simple!”
Eric Liribeiro shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Of course, but I hope you don’t pass up this opportunity because losing it might make it very difficult for you to beco the director of IRS again!”
Bixir ndy didn’t respond to Eric Liribeiro’s words but just quietly looked at the docunt in his hands, his eyes filled with both excitent and worry.
Seeing this, Eric Liribeiro stood up to take his leave.
After Eric Liribeiro walked out of Bixir ndy’s apartnt, he too let out a bitter smile.
Honestly, he didn’t want to personally co here to deliver the docunt.
But he had no choice, by now he was already on Donnie’s boat and couldn’t get off, he also knew that Donnie had him do this to involve his father in this matter, too.
Everything was already set in stone, it was now unchangeable!
After Eric Liribeiro left, Bixir ndy also sat down on the sofa in his study and fell into deep thought.
By now he had realized that Eric Liribeiro giving him this docunt was definitely not for the reasons he just claid.
“Want to use as a pawn?”
“Do they really think I can’t see through this?
If I make this docunt public, then neither Congress nor the White House would allow , the one who revealed it, to beco the director of IRS.”
Bixir ndy wanted to destroy the docunt, but despite striking a match a few tis, he ultimately gave up.
Even though he knew Eric Liribeiro ant to use him as a pawn with this docunt, the temptation of the docunt was simply too great.
“Even if I don’t make it public, couldn’t I leverage this docunt to get so benefits from Coshek Kevin?”
“Or perhaps I could pass the docunt to soone else and, like Eric Liribeiro, find soone else to act as the pawn?”
Bixir ndy began to struggle with how to handle this docunt.
Soon, he summoned so of his confidants to discuss the matter and sought their advice.
And their opinions could be divided into two main categories, just like the two issues Bixir ndy was wrestling with.
“I’m wondering, if we take no action concerning this docunt, then would Eric Liribeiro make a move?”
Soone posed the question.
Bixir ndy asked, “Are you suggesting that Eric Liribeiro would pass this docunt to Coshek Kevin?”
“It’s possible, lately Michael Ribeiro has been getting quite close to Coshek Kevin, it’s hard to guarantee that they haven’t reached so sort of agreent.”
“What if we give the docunt to Coshek Kevin then?”
“Then what kind of benefits can we get from Coshek Kevin?”
Everyone discussed heatedly, but they all agreed on two things: first, Eric Liribeiro bringing them this docunt was definitely not a good sign.
Second, they needed to figure out what benefits they could get from this docunt.
