American tax officials

Chapter 72 The Argument Between the Two Bureau Chiefs

Washington, D.C., IRS headquarters.

Directors and deputy directors from all over the country are sitting in the conference room, listening to the training session given by the advisor on the black tax bill.

Just then, Megan, the deputy chief of the Lake District Police Station, received a ring on her phone.

She took it out and looked at it, her expression changed instantly, and then she quickly walked out.

About ten minutes later, she returned and said to Chief William beside her, "Chief William, there's been a problem at the station..."

After hearing this, William was first taken aback, then asked incredulously, "You mean, David's team has risen to 43rd in the nation, and our Lake District branch's total tax revenue has reached $483 million?"

Megan nodded and said, "According to the information from the department, that's indeed the case!"

Upon receiving confirmation, William was even more shocked.

Before yesterday, David's tax record was just over 200 million, ranking 106th in the country, which he knew.

But after just one night, it suddenly surged by more than 160 million?

Based on the tax rates, to receive more than 160 million in taxes, the taxpayer would need to have a monthly income of at least 400 million US dollars.

With a monthly income of up to 400 million US dollars, he is definitely a prominent figure in their Lake District!

Who is it?

Unable to understand, William asked directly, "From whom did this tax come?"

"According to Inspector Gusin, it was received from a businessman named Lynch who owns an auction house and deals in antiques!"

"Lin Qi..."

William did have some recollection of this name.

But then again.

Having risen to such a level as Lynch, his network of connections and influence are absolutely incomparable to those of ordinary criminals.

The fact that David was able to receive his taxes suggests only two possibilities.

Either this guy has gone mad.

Either David has enough evidence against this guy to render his network and influence useless!

Of course, William felt that the former was unlikely, and the latter was the most probable!

Megan added, "Chief, I think we underestimated David. His abilities... might be even greater than we imagined!"

William nodded in approval.

They originally thought that David only had a knack for dealing with criminals.

Unexpectedly, even someone as prominent as Lin Qi could be dealt with so easily.

If they can handle a few more big cases like this, then their Hubei branch could not only be among the top 100 branches in the country, but also possibly be among the top 50 or even higher!

It's important to know that on the tax inspectors' performance list, the most prominent figures are naturally the tax inspectors themselves.

But the higher the branch office ranks on the overall tax performance list, the more conspicuous he becomes, the "effective leader" of the branch office!

"Chief, Keanu told me something else that I think I need to report to you..."

William stopped his daydreaming and replied, "What is it?"

"According to the information he received, some time ago, the officers from the Main Street Precinct spoke with David, trying to poach him. However, David didn't mention this to the precinct, and we don't know what his current thoughts are..."

"Is that so...!"

William was startled at first, then his expression gradually turned gloomy.

Their Lake District had finally managed to produce an inspector thanks to the Black Tax Act, and before they could even warm up to him, the major districts were already trying to poach him.

If you poach people, what will happen to my Hu District Police Station?

We finally have a chance to outmaneuver your Main Street Precinct, how can we let you take it away!

This is absolutely outrageous!

William grew angrier the more he thought about it, and then looked up and began searching around the arena.

Soon, about seven or eight meters to his right, he saw a woman in a women's suit with a somewhat mean-looking face.

She is Katharine Agnes, the superintendent of the Las Vegas Street Precinct.

Just then, the consultant on stage announced the end of today's training session.

William didn't care about anything else and got up to walk towards Catherine's side.

Meanwhile, Catherine also received a message from her subordinates.

Her face was ashen, and combined with her harsh expression, she was simply intimidating.

Just now, the bureau sent word that David from the Lake District branch had once again achieved remarkable success this morning, netting over 160 million in tax revenue.

The total tax revenue of the Lake District Branch has reached 483 million, and it is absolutely impossible for the Street District Branch to catch up with or surpass it in the remaining days of the assessment period!

This made her very angry.

Their Main Street Precinct is the largest precinct in Las Vegas in terms of economic size.

However, almost three assessment periods have passed.

They only achieved first place in the city during the first assessment period, but were actually overtaken by the Lake District in the second assessment period, but that's not all.

The third assessment period is coming soon.

Their main district branch's total tax revenue didn't even reach half that of the lake district.

What does this mean?

This means she is a poor leader, and it means she is an incompetent bureau chief!

It's utterly shameful that a district with the highest economic output in the city is being outclassed by other districts in terms of tax revenue!

"Chief Catherine, your Main Street Precinct is really capable!"

Just as Catherine was in a state of confusion, a voice from the side made her turn her head.

But upon seeing it was William, her expression darkened further. Thinking he was there to mock her, she angrily retorted, "Alright, Director William, you're just lucky to have a capable inspector. Nothing special!"

"hehe……"

William sneered and replied, "Yes, I was lucky, but unlike some people, when they're unlucky, they try to steal other people's partners!"

Catherine's face stiffened. A few days ago, the department had indeed told her that they wanted to poach David.

Although she supported it in her heart, she felt that the matter was somewhat unethical, so she did not give a clear order to do so.

Unexpectedly, the news reached William's ears.

No wonder William looks like he wants to devour her!

But now that everyone knows, there's no point in hiding it anymore. She retorted, "Our district branch has a high-level platform. If Inspector David wants to come, we'd certainly welcome him!"

These words made William's expression instantly turn serious.

He was so blinded by anger that he forgot about this.

Yes.

For inspectors, the development prospects of the larger urban area are always higher than those of the lake area.

Megan had told him this before.

David did not report the discovery to the authorities.

So what exactly is his mindset?

Is there really a plan to switch jobs?
