Chapter 73 On the Eve of Promotion to Tax Chief

If that's the case, then it's going to be a bit troublesome!

According to the IRS regulations, auditors can apply to be transferred to other branches.

Of course, other branches also need to accept it.

But the Main Street Precinct is eager to recruit David, so as long as David is willing to go, it will be very difficult for the Lake District Precinct to intercept him.

Catherine had no intention of arguing with William any further, so she stood up and quickly left.

Megan, noticing her chief's concerns, said, "Chief, it's true that the Main Street Precinct has a higher platform, but don't forget, at this stage, we can offer things that the Main Street Precinct can't!"

"What I can't give... you mean the vacancy of the tax chief!"

William suddenly woke up.

They had this plan during the last assessment period.

However, at the time, we felt that David's qualifications were too low, so we planned to observe him for another probationary period.

The assessment period is about to end, and David has once again generated more than 360 million in tax revenue for the Lake District Office.

Why would anyone need to observe this?

Based on his tax performance in these two assessment periods alone, he is qualified to be promoted to tax chief, breaking all conventional rules!

Megan nodded and said, "That's right. The tax chief position at the Main Street Precinct is vacant. Even if they wanted to give David the position, they couldn't do it anytime soon. But our Lake Precinct can do that immediately. That's our biggest bargaining chip to keep David!"

William pondered for a moment, then immediately replied, "Okay, prepare the paperwork immediately and send it to the city bureau for review. We'll try to ensure David can seamlessly take over as soon as Lewis steps down!"

"clear!"

……

Time flies, and four days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During those four days, David didn't encounter any more easy cases like Lynch, and only took on some decent ones.

Their group's tax revenue has increased from over 360 million to 412 million.

As for the national ranking, it has moved up slightly from 43rd to 42nd nationwide.

In the afternoon, Nissen brought back two coffees from Starbucks, placed one on David's desk, and asked, "There's a lot of talk about this in the department right now, haven't you heard anything about it yet?"

During this assessment period, David has almost single-handedly generated more than 400 million in tax revenue, which naturally earned him the high regard of all senior executives.

Just in the last few days, a piece of news suddenly came from the bureau.

The news that David would seamlessly take over after Lewis stepped down sparked a discussion throughout the company.

The entire Lake District branch has a total of ten tax chiefs.

The youngest is Kahlil Gibran, the tax chief of Group 3, but he is already 39 years old.

David is only 25 years old.

A 25-year-old tax chief—not just in their Las Vegas district office, but in the entire Las Vegas area, and probably only 2 or 30 people nationwide.

So if David is able to take office successfully, they will be able to witness a great spectacle.

David shook his head and replied, "No!"

Just as the two were talking, Bucky suddenly walked over and said, "David, Nison, Tax Chief Lewis wants us to go to his office!"

Upon hearing this, both David and Nissen's expressions hardened.

Tomorrow is the assessment period, and at this point, no more cases will be issued or processed.

Now that Lewis has suddenly summoned them, could it be about stepping down or the new tax secretary?

Putting their thoughts aside, the two dared not delay and immediately took the elevator with Bucky and the others to the fourth floor, where they entered Lewis's office one after another.

Upon entering, they were surprised to find that all of Lewis's books, personal belongings, and trinkets had been collected into two large boxes.

This is clearly them clearing out the office and getting ready to leave!

Lewis smiled slightly and waved, saying, "It might take a little longer than usual today, so please have a seat."

Everyone immediately brought out chairs and sat down one by one.

Lewis continued, "As you can see, I am indeed being transferred. Today and tomorrow will be my last term as tax commissioner here!"

"During my long tenure as tax commissioner, I thank you all for your support and for your unconditional obedience and execution of my orders!"

"It is because of your help and contributions that I was able to be promoted to the position of Deputy Tax Inspector. Although we are no longer in a direct superior-subordinate relationship, I will always consider you all as friends!"

Hearing this, many people showed a hint of reluctance on their faces.

Although Lewis was quite strict with them, it must be said that after being by his side for so long, they learned a lot from him.

Overall, Lewis was a pretty good boss to them.

"I'm sure you've all heard about the vacancy left by my transfer as tax chief!"

At this point, Lewis looked at David and said, "That's right, I've been notified, and I can tell you now that the person who will succeed me has been decided—it's David!"

These words did not surprise anyone present, but their expressions were somewhat complicated.

In terms of seniority, David was almost the least experienced in their team.

In the past, no one would have had the chance to take office like David.

Unfortunately, the sudden enactment of the Black Tax Act changed everything.

Anyone who can achieve outstanding tax results will have unlimited possibilities and a bright future!

Bucky and the others were alright, but the most worried person at this moment was Nissen.

During this period, he followed David and garnered considerable fame and numerous honors.

David is about to be promoted to tax chief, and all that glory and limelight seems to be slipping away from him.

What makes him most uneasy is that he doesn't know who his new partner will be, or whether he will be a burden and hold him back.

"Although David is relatively inexperienced, as you all know, the tax law doesn't consider seniority; it only looks at your ability and the amount of tax you collect. So you all need to work harder in the future. Perhaps one of you will be promoted to tax commissioner!"

David's successful appointment as tax commissioner certainly inspired Bucky and others once again.

At that moment, they secretly vowed to themselves that they would do their best to earn more tax revenue and strive to rise to a higher position as soon as possible!

"..."

It's probably because he's about to be transferred.

So in the time that followed, Lewis opened up and chatted with everyone about many things.

More than an hour later, he finally ended the conversation and said to Bucky and the others, "Alright, you can go now. David, stay here!"
