anwhile, Brown, who was sitting in the chair, remained indifferent, his face betraying a thoughtful expression.
Strictly speaking, this result wasn't too far beyond his expectations.
Indeed, he had won the top spot for several assessnt periods in a row and was the foremost contributor to the Black Tax Bill.
However, the ard operations led by David scored too highly, and then there were the earth-shattering feats like toppling the city halls of two cities or even the Governor.
With such achievents, it ca as no surprise that he caught the favor of so high-level officials at the main bureau, even Director Obadiah himself.
"Director, there are rumors that Stevenson was brought down by David. Now it seems quite likely, and if that's the case, David's influence in Nevada must be second to none. He'll be tough to deal with..."
Kelly didn't complain like the others, and her aning was obvious enough.
That is, their past successes in topping the assessnt periods were mainly due to the resources of the super district of Manhattan.
But now, David's influence in Nevada was too great, giving him the resources of the entire state at his disposal.
Although Manhattan had a high economic output and Wall Street, a hen that laid golden eggs, the risks of comparing one district's capabilities to the power of an entire state were definitely significant.
Brown, of course, understood Kelly's point and shifted from contemplation to a furrowed brow.
After a mont, he spoke up, "Contact Charlie Tax Inspector from Queens and tell him I want to have a chat."
…
A new assessnt period began, and with the official announcent of Operation God-making from the main bureau, all the Inspectors, along with the newly promoted Chief Tax Officers, were gearing up for a big battle.
Just three days had passed, and Brown Soros had soared to the top of the Inspector's achievent chart with 30 million.
And Bellamy Hattie ranked second with 26 million.
The third place was held by David with 25 million.
The reason David had managed to haul in 25 million in tax achievents in just three days was primarily thanks to the state governnt's contributions.
When Laurie was successfully installed as Governor, David personally visited him to have a talk, suggesting that he leads so mbers of the state governnt to proactively declare their illegal earnings for taxation.
Needless to say, Laurie dared not disobey and, while dutifully leading the state governnt to comply, also passed the ssage on to the city halls of various cities.
Seeing that the state governnt took the lead in paying taxes on illegal inco, and with David releasing a ssage at the start of the new assessnt period that he would personally visit any city hall that dared not comply, the officials of the city halls acquiesced.
They promptly reported to their local federal tax bureaus to pay the taxes owed on their illegal inco.
David had already established cooperation with all the subdivisions in Nevada. He was entitled to a 60% share of the taxes paid by these officials.
Therefore, these past three days saw David effortlessly collecting 25 million in taxes funneled from various subdivisions.
Around noon, about 500 ters away from the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, Nisen Bakesimmons Ariel and a few others were having a al in a restaurant.
The next second, Nisen's phone rang, and he imdiately set down his knife and fork to answer, "This is Nisen…"
A couple of minutes later, he hung up the phone, his expression slightly pleased as he told the others, "Keenan's gang has already paid their taxes at the Newtown District Sub-Branch."
Keenan was part of a fraud ring, a case in Newtown District. David had cracked the case yesterday, and only today did they receive the taxes paid by the gang.
At this news, everyone was pleased, all except Bucky.
Seeing Bucky's silence, Nisen couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Bucky?"
"I think... we might need to make a change..."
This statent left those present feeling perplexed, and Nisen asked again, "Change what? What are you talking about, Bucky?"
"The main bureau has already issued the official notice about Operation God-making. Whoever ranks first in tax achievents this period will be selected, and I think... we should fully support Director David's election. What do you guys think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone paused for a mont, but they quickly understood what Bucky ant.
All along, David had led them on missions, and with each successfully solved case, he had shared a significant sum of tax revenue with each of them.
Now, despite being in the critical period of the Operation God-making, since they had cracked the case involving Keenan, they knew that, based on their understanding of David, he would surely share a portion of the tax achievents with them as well.
Although the sum might not be substantial for David's assault on Operation God-making, they still wanted to contribute their effort to help ensure his successful election.
"You make a good point, Bucky. Ever since Director David took office, we've already gained enough benefits. The other Inspectors in the bureau are dying of envy. Now, since the Operation God-making relies on tax achievents to win, we can't be ungrateful," said Nisen, the first to voice his support.
And Simmons quickly followed suit, adding, "I agree!"
"I have no problem..."
Aside from the suspended Poppy and the absent Selina, the rest of the squad expressed their support as well.
"Since everyone agrees, I'll go have a good talk with Director David about this matter later."
"Nisen, there is actually sothing else... I don't know if I should bring it up or not..."
Looking at Bucky, who hesitated, Nisen imdiately said, "We're all confidants here. Whatever it is, Bucky, just speak your mind!"
"Here's the thing, if Director David really gets elected for the political campaign, according to what the headquarters says, he will be directly reassigned to head a district sub-bureau branch, and it's highly likely to be a large city."
"So my thought is... could you maybe hint to Director David, and if he gets elected, see if he could take us with him..."
Bucky was willing to give up the tax performance bonus because he wanted to help David get elected, true, but more than that, he hoped to be taken along when David was elected.
After all, the word was also out from the headquarters that once elected, there was a very high chance of a direct reassignnt to head a sub-bureau branch in a large city.
If the last assignnt ended up being to New York, Los Angeles, or even Chicago Houston, that would be far more promising than staying here at the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.
On hearing this, Nisen Simmons and the others also suddenly realized.
The tension of the new assessnt period had distracted them, and they hadn't given this matter proper thought.
Now that they thought about it, what Bucky said made a lot of sense.
If David really got elected and was reassigned to head a large city, taking them with him, it could be considered a promotion from a certain perspective.
Moreover, the head of a sub-bureau branch was a powerful local official with considerable authority in hand.
As long as David was willing, they couldn't say for others, but getting them directly promoted to the position of Chief Tax Officer was definitely not a big problem!
And if David continued to do a good job as the head of the sub-bureau, and was later transferred to headquarters, bringing them along as well, that would be like their ancestors' graves billowing forth green smoke!
With these thoughts, everyone present felt a surge of excitent in their hearts.
Simmons was especially eager as he spoke, "Yes, Nisen, you have the best relationship with Director David. If he really gets elected, he's sure to take you, but us... you must put in a good word for ."
"Nisen, for the sake of being colleagues, help out with a few words as well..."
Ariel couldn't sit still any longer.
She was all too aware of her own worth. If she didn't cling tightly to David's coattails, it was difficult not just to be transferred to headquarters, but even to another large city.
"Nisen..."
The rest of the mbers also began requesting one after another.
At this mont, Nisen felt a wave of elation in his heart, as he not only had the best relationship with David but had also saved David's life in the Dieter case.
If David really got elected, it was unthinkable that he would not take him along!
After indulging himself for a while, Nisen also stood up a little taller and said, "Alright, alright, seeing as we're all colleagues, I'll talk to Director David about this matter for you."
"Thank you so much, Nisen."
"Extrely grateful..."
"..."
Amid the chorus of gratitude, Nisen was lost in it for quite a while before he got up, "Alright, I'll go back to the office now and talk to Director David."
The restaurant was very close to the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, less than a ten-minute walk. Nisen returned to the office, knocked on the door of David's office, then walked in, and said, "Director, Keenan's group has completed their tax paynts at the New City District Sub-Branch, and we've received a total of 11 million in tax revenue shares."
David, who was looking at the case files, did not raise his head and casually replied, "Good, 10 million goes under my na, and the remaining 1 million you guys can split."
"There's no need, Director..."
Upon hearing Nisen's response, David couldn't help but lift his head, sowhat puzzled, and asked, "What do you an?"
"It's the critical period of the political campaign now, and the announcent from headquarters was that the highest tax perforr will be elected. So the few of us in our team have discussed it, and we would like to contribute our share of support for you..."
David understood and felt sowhat touched by the consideration of these team mbers, and he responded, "Since you all feel this way, then I'll accept this kindness."
Nisen nodded, then added, "By the way, Director, we've discussed another matter and were wondering if it would be convenient for you when the ti cos?"
David, looking puzzled, asked, "What is it?"
Nisen scratched his head and said with a sheepish grin, "Well, if you're elected for the political campaign, you'll have to be reassigned as the head of another sub-bureau, right? We were hoping to continue working under you, so..."
