Governor's Mansion.
At this mont, Governor Stevenson's face was ashen, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He had been very clear that if anything went wrong with this bill, it could cause significant damage to him.
Now, hearing Mr. Louson say on the television that he had conclusive evidence, how could he not panic?
"Governor, if this bill really has issues, we're in big trouble this ti!"
Under Stevenson's vast network resources, Eugene felt quite confident about taking care of the Golden Ear Bridge matter.
But this agriculture bill involved too many people across the state. If sothing was really amiss, how could he be confident in handling it?
"Contact David imdiately. If he can back down, I can assure you that I'll no longer pursue the matter of my son..."
Although Mr. Louson only ntioned that he had evidence but hadn't actually revealed it yet, Stevenson didn't dare to take the gamble any further.
And since Mr. Louson hadn't presented the evidence yet, there was still room for retrievent as long as the information wasn't disclosed. If the conclusive evidence was released, then it would be the end!
"Governor, when you called Mr. Louson today, he showed no intention of wanting to negotiate. It's obvious he's acting on David's instruction, so the matter of not pursuing your son's issues is unlikely to sway him..."
"Then tell him that as long as he stops, I can agree to so conditions."
Stevenson was truly frightened.
After all, his greatest goal was to ascend to the presidency one day.
But if this scandal broke out, he wouldn't just forget about the presidency—he might be kicked out of the governor's seat imdiately.
"I'll try..."
Eugene walked to the side and picked up the phone.
At the live broadcast of KNPR-FM Television Station, Milton was just about to inquire about the evidence Mr. Louson held but was interrupted by Mr. Louson's secretary.
The secretary whispered sothing in Mr. Louson's ear, and after she left, Mr. Louson took the initiative to say, "We were just discussing the agriculture bill. Now, let tell you more about the pros and cons of this bill..."
Milton was not interested in the agriculture bill at the mont; he wanted to see the evidence. But seeing that Mr. Louson seed reluctant to disclose it right away, he couldn't just interrupt and had to patiently wait and listen, holding back his curiosity.
anwhile.
At the Ninglin Branch Office, Egbert personally ca to David's temporary office and placed a mobile phone in front of him.
"Good day, Director David, I'm Eugene, Governor Stevenson's secretary. It seems there's been a small misunderstanding between our governor and you. What I an is, since it's a small misunderstanding, it isn't necessary to cause a big stir. Is it possible to talk things over?"
Hearing the words from the other end of the phone, David laughed.
It seed that Governor Stevenson was indeed scared after hearing about the evidence related to the agriculture bill.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an effort to have his secretary humbly seek negotiations.
"Director David?"
"Mr. Eugene, is it? What do you an by 'negotiations'?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a mont before he said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. We have indeed offended you before, and for that, I apologize on behalf of the governor. We also know that Mr. Louson is currently working for you. If you can get him to stop, we will be sure to reward you handsoly in the future."
"We know that your IRS has recently launched a 'god-making' project, and for the success of this project, you'll undoubtedly need a great deal of tax achievents."
"And if you have the help of a state's Chief Executive Officer, just think, wouldn't that be a great help to you in achieving this project?"
David found the words amusing again.
So, when Governor Stevenson was causing trouble for him, he never thought of apologizing.
Now that he was being counter-attacked and seeing big trouble looming, is that when he thought of apologizing and seeking peace?
Plus, having the help of a state governor could indeed make his tax work much more effective.
But after he pulled Stevenson down, Laurie, who he had supported, would take over. Wouldn't Laurie eagerly support and coordinate with his tax work?
So, did he need Governor Stevenson's help?
With these thoughts, David calmly replied, "Mr. Eugene, what are you talking about? Mr. Louson is a senatorial candidate, and I am just a lowly director at the IRS. How could he possibly work for ? I think you are mistaken."
"Director David, old enemies should resolve their issues, not prolong them. The governor has already pledged not to hold the past against you, as well as to provide assistance in the future. Continuing this will do you no good. I hope you will reconsider carefully."
One could hear the urgency in Eugene's voice.
Otherwise, as the governor's secretary, a very influential person in Nevada, he wouldn't be pleading so insistently.
"I still say the sa thing: you are mistaken, Mr. Eugene. I have no connection with Mr. Louson!"
With that, David hung up the phone.
"Dammit!!!"
Back at the Governor's Mansion, Eugene cursed loudly and shook his head at Governor Stevenson, signaling, "He didn't agree."
Upon hearing this, Governor Stevenson said nothing, but his complexion turned even more ashen.
At the live broadcast of KNPR-FM Television Station.
Mr. Louson's secretary ca back to the stage, placed a docunt in his hand, said a few words into his ear, and then turned and left.
