The four characters for "rival" made David's facial expression darken slightly.
It's estimated that Selina isn't aware of the 'Project Deification' yet, if she had known, she would understand that it wasn't a matter of "giving it ti"; the competition between them had already begun!
"For example, suppose one day you both want to advance to a high position in the headquarters, but there's only one spot, and they need to choose between the two of you."
"If your tax achievents are similar and your abilities are roughly the sa, then, at that ti, your backgrounds will play a huge role!"
"Just let Brown Soros use his background to pull so strings at headquarters, do you think, you would still have the chance to take that high position?"
Selina's words, for David, were another blow.
The situation he was facing was just like this.
The 'Project Deification' obviously could only choose one god, to then serve as the Tax Investigator or a regional bureau chief.
Previously, David hadn't confird Brown Soros's background, and he harbored a glimr of hope, believing that as long as he was excellent enough, he would have a chance to be chosen!
But now, after seeing Brown Soros's background, he was no longer confident.
After all, his grandfather's firm was one of the top in Arica, and indeed the world, and whether it ca to providing assistance or exerting influence, it certainly held an absolute advantage!
Seeing David apparently worried, Selina rejoiced inwardly and struck while the iron was hot, "Director David, our Kennedy Family might not have the power we used to, but we still have our deep roots. If you need it, we can offer you all the help..."
David fell into deep thought.
It was unmistakable that the other party intended to win him over.
One couldn't deny the power of the Kennedy family, but if he decided to side with the Kennedy family, that would an standing opposite the group of capitalists, which was also very dangerous...
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Selina. I've had enough to eat, I shall head back now!"
David picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth, thinking that it wasn't yet ti to choose sides decisively. Better to take one step at a ti!
Watching David's retreating back, Selina wasn't too disappointed; she hadn't expected to persuade David with just one conversation.
After all, with David's naive background, she felt that sooner or later, he would co to understand the significance of one's background!
By then, it would be their turn to take the initiative!
...
In the blink of an eye, four days passed, and the date for the end of this assessnt period had arrived.
In these four days, David deliberately slowed down the pace on the three big cases, nor did he complete the investigations for other cases.
Because he knew very well, even if he cracked the three major cases, Brown Soros would probably find a way to co up with more tax achievents to surpass him.
So rather than doing that, it might as well wait for 'Project Deification' to be realized.
Once the plan was realized, that would be the real beginning of the competition, and the tax achievents from the three big cases and other cases would then play a much bigger role!
8:30 a.m.
Inspectors started to arrive at the office, each with a mix of anticipation and excitent, ready to face the upcoming assessnt eting.
Because in this assessnt period, thanks to the tax credits from the Dieter case, every team mber received a very considerable amount of tax revenue.
No doubt the directors, deputy directors, and Tax Investigators would certainly have high praise for them this ti...
"Oh, shit, there's an announcent on the internal network, 'Project Deification' has really co out!"
While the inspectors in the office were still indulging in anticipation, soone shouted out unexpectedly, and many were stunned for a mont.
As they ca to their senses, all the inspectors in the room did one unanimous thing: they opened the Tax Bureau's internal network to check.
And sure enough!
Just like what the shouting inspector had said, there really was an announcent about 'Project Deification' released by the headquarters!
```
The announcent stated that the plan would be implented from the next evaluation period, without a set end date.
At that ti, the headquarters will select one exemplary inspector from the 140,000 nationwide, or a promoted Chief Tax Officer, to serve as the spokesperson for the Black Tax Law.
As for the corresponding positions, just like the rumors circulating these past few days, the lowest position is a Tax Investigator, with the highest possibly being the head of a local branch!
And here's a point worth noting.
The announcent shows that they will select one exemplary individual, not necessarily the first, second, or third place from the inspectors' performance ranking.
This ans that every inspector could potentially have a chance!
Thinking about this, the inspectors on the scene began to breathe more rapidly.
Although they knew that there was a 99.99% chance they would not be the 'deity,' it was like buying a lottery ticket—a small chance still ant so possibility of winning.
What if such a stroke of incredible luck fell upon them?
To rise directly to the position of a branch head was almost like soaring to the heavens—who could resist such a temptation?
While all the inspectors had faces flushed with eager anticipation and rapid breathing, Selina was the exception, even though she also revealed a hint of joy.
But her delight was different from that of the inspectors.
Four days ago, the day after her conversation with David ended, rumors about 'Project Deification' had already started circulating within the departnt.
To be honest, she hadn't expected such coincidence, and since it was just a rumor, she didn't dare to get too excited too soon.
Until now, the headquarters had finally issued a formal announcent, officially proclaiming the plan!
This ant that originally, David, Brown Soros, Bellamy Hattie, and their group, were just competitors on the list.
But after this announcent, as Selina initially said, they beca true competitors!
After all, 'Project Deification' would only elevate one deity, and who would beco this deity depended not only on individual ability but also on who had stronger backing!
David certainly had the ability, but what about connections?
The opportunity for their Kennedy Family was now at hand!
Selina had already decided in her heart to find the right ti today to persuade David once again!
...
Big Street District Branch.
Keanu burst into Katharine's office and exclaid, "Director, 'Project Deification' has really been officially announced by headquarters!"
"Oh?"
Katharine was surprised and imdiately opened the internal network to check.
After reading the announcent, it seed she realized sothing and said in an epiphany, "So that ans, David might have known about the plan in advance. No wonder, these past few days he has been delaying action on the three major cases!"
Keanu nodded in agreent, then replied, "Yes, he probably wants to use the achievents from the three major cases to leverage his position in 'Project Deification'!"
Katharine paused, her expression playfully contemplative as she asked, "Keanu, do you think David could be selected?"
"With his abilities, it's hard to say whether he could be selected or not, but the headquarters will definitely consider him one of the candidates, and if he really gets selected..."
Keanu didn't continue, but the envy and jealousy on his face were undeniable.
It took him a full 15 years to rise to the position of a Tax Investigator.
And now, with this so-called 'Project Deification,' if chosen, one is guaranteed at least the position of Tax Investigator, with the highest possibly being promoted directly to a local branch head, akin to a provincial governor.
This kind of teoric rise gave him an inevitable sense of defeat, feeling that his 15 years of effort beca worthless in the face of such an opportunity!
