Bucky seed to realize he had said sothing wrong and hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, David, if there's anything you need help with, don't be shy—just let know! "
As one of the top hundred inspectors of the previous term, it is difficult to say nationwide, but in the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, David was the focus of many people's attention.
So, Bucky knew that in the past few days, David's tax performance was still at zero.
But no matter what, without the help of public funds, it would have been impossible for him to enter the top ten thousand list.
Thus, his offer was truly sincere.
"I will."
David responded with a sentence and did not say more, continuing his state of slacking off.
Until the ti reached 10 o'clock.
At this mont, the nine people who ca out of the elevator made him smile.
The newcors were none other than Costi and his group.
After they arrived by David's side, Costi took the lead and said, "Inspector, we agree to pay the taxes, but before doing so, we need to ask so questions."
"Ask!"
"..."
Several minutes later, having received assurance that their identities would not be revealed and their futures would not be interfered with, Costi and his colleagues then took out the taxes to start paying...
...
On the fourth floor, in Chief Tax Officer Lewis's office.
At that mont, Lewis was staring at the computer screen, his brows furrowed.
"What's going on with David? It's been several days, and how co there's not a single point in tax performance?"
Last assessnt period, David's inspection group made the top hundred, giving him a good bit of reflected glory—after all, it was the group he led!
As the leader of the group, his contributions naturally could not be ignored.
He had thought that with the support of public funds, David would soar even higher this assessnt period.
But unexpectedly, several days had passed, and David's tax performance was still zero.
What was going on?
What were these two up to?
Bucky had already made it to the top ten thousand list, and the other two groups were decent enough.
Yet, the group that was in the top hundred last period had beco the bottom dwellers. This made Lewis feel quite embarrassed, as if he had fallen from heaven to earth.
"Dudu dudu..."
Just as Lewis was frowning in worry, the phone on his desk rang. He picked it up: "What's the matter?"
"..."
A minute later, having put down the phone, Lewis's face instantly lit up with joy, and he said into the phone, "After it's deposited, have him co to my office!"
...
Over on the third floor in the Inspector's Office.
After an hour of busyness, David had finally finished the work of filing tax tickets and the like. He and Nisen checked the amounts together and discovered that the sum collected from these nine people totaled two hundred and sixteen thousand US dollars!
Both were very satisfied with this number.
They imdiately arranged for the funds to be deposited.
About ten minutes later, Mary sent them a ssage telling them that the tax money had been successfully deposited.
Nisen didn't waste any ti, imdiately logging onto the National Tax Bureau's internal network. After entering their inspection group's na, he cried out in delight, "Haha, David, 812th place—we've made it into the national top thousand!"
812th place, far from their previous rank of 89th by a vast stretch.
But one must realize that for the past several days, they had been at the very bottom nationwide.
Not only had they surpassed tens of thousands of other inspectors nationwide, but they had also swiftly climbed to the top of the Lake District leaderboard.
Now, let's see who dares to laugh at them!
Once again, they could strut around the bureau with their heads held high!
Boasting a loud voice and with a hint of showiness, Nisen's shout instantly drew the attention of many nearby inspectors.
So took out their phones, while others logged onto the internal network, all wanting to check the status of David and Nisen's team.
However, when they saw the figure of two hundred and sixteen thousand US dollars, they were instantly stunned.
Because there were few people who had co earlier, and with only nine cases handled by Costi, the inspectors thought they were dealing with only a few small fries and didn't pay much attention.
But who would have thought that these were not small fries at all? With taxes amounting to over two hundred thousand in one go, who were these people?
The other teams had been working themselves to the bone these past few days, and the least successful had only managed to pull in one or two thousand in tax achievents, with the more successful ones earning just thirty to fifty thousand at most.
Yet David's team had nabbed over two hundred thousand in one fell swoop.
Such a vast gap made the inspectors present feel very disheartened.
...
"Two hundred and sixteen thousand, rank eight hundred and twelve..."
Lewis looked at the tax revenue leaderboard, which updated in real-ti with the rankings and data, feeling both surprised and sowhat despondent.
The surprise, of course, was due to the considerable amount of tax revenue.
The regret was that if this were the previous assessnt period, over two hundred thousand in tax achievent could have entered the top four hundred, but now it only ranked eight hundred and twelve.
This also indirectly reflected that as ti went on, the nation's inspectors had beco more familiar with the rules of the black tax law and had gradually started to find their techniques and thods.
And this ant that the competition for positions on the tax achievent leaderboard would beco even more fierce moving forward!
So could David still make it into the top one hundred before this assessnt period ended?
For this question, Lewis could not guarantee an answer.
However, he had already decided that, by any ans necessary, he would help David make one last push before the assessnt period ended.
If he succeeded again, he would assu his position as the Deputy Tax Inspector in Detroit with great confidence.
Who would dare to question him when he had ntored inspectors who ranked in the top one hundred twice?
"Giggle giggle giggle..."
While Lewis was daydreaming, there ca a knock on the door.
"Co in!"
The door opened, and David walked in, asking, "Chief Tax Officer Liu Yi, you called for ?"
Lewis gave a thumbs-up, his praise tinged with admiration: "You handled this tax evasion case beautifully!"
There was one thing he had to admit he really admired about David.
For instance, with this tax evasion case, if it had been assigned to any other inspector, even if they had managed to resolve it, they probably could have collected at most sixty thousand US dollars in taxes, or even less.
Because based on the intelligence reports, this gang was only implicated in dealings of forty thousand US dollars a month.
Dividing forty thousand among this gang and calculating according to the tax rate, the most one could collect would be only sixty thousand.
But David did even better, collecting over two hundred thousand.
What did that an?
It ant that the information from the Intelligence Division was not accurate and that under David's exceptional investigative ability, these criminals had been severely hit!
This was a capability that not many inspectors in the bureau, nor even in the whole of Las Vegas, possessed.
David responded with false modesty, "You flatter , Chief Tax Officer..."
"Although you're currently ranked eight hundred and twelve, there are still eleven days left. Tell whatever help you need; if there's anything that needs investigating, just direct Bucky and his team to handle it. In short, I'll do my best to help you make it back into the top one hundred!"
