American tax officials

Chapter 74 Tavern Night Talk

No one lingered long and they all got up and left.

After everyone left, Lewis looked at David and said, "David, the position of tax commissioner is powerful, but it's not easy to do well. When I was first promoted to tax commissioner..."

In the time that follows.

Lewis began to share his experiences with David, including how he had been promoted to tax commissioner and how he had gradually secured his position.

In addition, he taught David how to lead and manage his subordinates, which benefited David greatly and taught him a lot about how to rise to a higher position.

"Alright, I've taught you everything I needed to. Now, I wish Chief Tax Officer David all the best for the future!"

"By the way, if you really have a bright future, don't forget me!"

Lewis’s words, though seemingly made in jest, were actually from the bottom of his heart.

The sudden emergence of the Black Tax Act brought about a major overhaul of the entire IRS system.

Now, David has been promoted to tax chief at a young age.

Who can guarantee that they won't break with convention and be promoted to deputy tax inspector, tax inspector, director, or even transferred to the State Administration of Taxation?

If that day ever comes, he'll have secured a powerful patron in advance, which will undoubtedly be a great help to his career!

David smiled and replied, "I also wish Deputy Inspector Lewis all the best in his future endeavors..."

……

Night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Inside his home, David sat on the balcony, enjoying the breeze while contemplating his plans after taking office as tax chief the next day.

We definitely need to acquire Dieter.

This guy is not only a fat fish, but also a local tyrant in the lake area.

If we can successfully capture him, it will be a huge deterrent to other criminals.

Just imagine, even someone as powerful as Dieter has to obediently pay taxes to the IRS. You criminals should ask yourselves how much you're worth and still dare to evade taxes right under the IRS's nose.

However, this guy is rich and powerful, and I've heard he's arrogant and domineering. If we want to take him down smoothly, we'll have to plan and strategize carefully!

In addition, there's the case of Sheriff Smith.

This was also a case that David planned to use to establish his authority after taking office.

Smith acts as a protector of many criminals in the Lake District. Taking him down might allow us to obtain a list of criminals from him, which could generate a large amount of tax revenue!

Just as David was lost in thought, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and saw it was Nison calling. He immediately answered, "Nison?"

"Are you still awake, David?"

"no."

"Want to grab a drink?"

David paused, sensing a hint of frustration in Nissen's voice, likely because of tomorrow's plans, and replied, "Sure, where?"

"How's the Korean bar?"

"Okay, I'm coming over now!"

After hanging up the phone, David got dressed. Although he wasn't on a mission, he still fastened his sidearm for safety reasons, and then hailed a taxi to his destination.

He arrived at the Korean bar in about 20 minutes.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the Volvo not far away, while Nissen leaned against the car door, smoking a cigarette with a forlorn expression.

Upon seeing David arrive, he threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. Then the two walked into the tavern side by side.

Inside the tavern.

Upon seeing David and Nissen arrive, the expressions of the Koreans, who had been chatting and laughing, instantly changed.

The two men had been here once before, so they naturally recognized David and Nison and assumed it was the IRS trying to cause trouble again.

"Davies, Nissen, it doesn't seem like it's time for you to pay your taxes yet, does it?"

The bartender, Kim Kwang-yoo, stared intently at the two of them.

Nissen replied, "Don't get me wrong, we're not here to cause you trouble today. We're here for drinks. Give me a whiskey, on the rocks!"

"Me too!"

Upon hearing that the two men were only there for drinks, Kim Kwang-yoo and the others in the room immediately relaxed.

"If the two inspectors are here for a drink, then we certainly welcome them!"

After saying that, Jin Guangyao turned around and started mixing drinks.

With his skillful handling, two glasses of mixed whiskey were served.

Nissen raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's toast our new boss!"

David sensed Nissen's frustration, but didn't rush to say anything. He first raised his glass and clinked it with Nissen's, then took a sip.

After setting down his cup, he comforted you, saying, "I know that being the tax chief has always been your obsession, but don't be discouraged, I will help you!"

During this period, Nissen did not provide much help in terms of taxation.

However, his existence, both before and after, was necessary for David.

Although the IRS is a well-known name in America, there are still many desperate criminals among those who commit crimes.

Nissen is a retired Marine, and his skills are not weak. If any unexpected situation arises in the future...

With Nissen around, at least his safety is guaranteed!

"No, David, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to blame you; I just suddenly had some feelings to express..."

Nissen, fearing that David might misunderstand, quickly began to explain.

David patted him on the shoulder and replied, "I know. Even though I'll be the tax chief from now on, I'll still consider you my partner!"

Hearing this, Nissen was somewhat moved, and his frustration dissipated considerably. After a moment, he said, "I'll consider it as such, but according to the rules, I still need a new partner. However, this matter... I'll have to trouble you with it!"

David understood what he meant and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll definitely choose an outstanding person who won't hold you back as your new partner!"

"That's good!"

Nissen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that his new partner might be a novice or an intern inspector who would hold him back, but thankfully David promised to choose one carefully, so he could rest assured!

The two chatted for a while and drank several more glasses of wine until 11 o'clock, when they were both quite drunk and prepared to leave.

Kim Kwang-yoo is also very perceptive.

They arranged for a sober younger brother to act as their driver, and the two of them did not refuse, allowing the driver to take them home one after the other.

After arriving home, the two fell into a deep sleep.

They fell into a deep sleep, but many others couldn't sleep all night.

Tomorrow is the assessment period.

During this assessment period, auditors who have amassed high tax revenue will naturally fantasize about the praise and rewards they will receive tomorrow.

Those who reaped less tax revenue lived in fear, unsure of what kind of criticism they would face tomorrow.

In short, some people are happy while others are sad!
