United states tax collector

Los Angeles, in a warehouse in the western suburbs branch.

"Boss. I heard that the new director of the IRS who will take office tomorrow is a ruthless character. Should we restrain ourselves temporarily?"

"Yes, boss, this guy named David is a bit ruthless. Wasn't it in the news some time ago? An Indian tribe played hard with him. As a result, this guy drove tanks, armored vehicles, and fighter jets directly into the tribe. I beat them until they cried for their fathers and mothers, and finally sent them to court for heavy sentences, so be careful!"

"I also watched his press conference yesterday. Although the new director said in front of everyone that he would launch a large-scale operation against Hollywood, he will definitely not let us people go..."

"..."

This is a criminal gang specializing in smuggling.

At this time, most members of the gang are worried about David's arrival tomorrow.

Hearing that his subordinates were all afraid of the new director, the man known as the boss also frowned.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Starting tomorrow, the cargo transportation will be reduced by half. In addition, heavy trucks will be replaced and light trucks will be used for multiple deliveries to keep a low profile."

"yes."

In addition to this smuggling gang, at this moment, all criminal gangs in the entire western suburbs are also discussing countermeasures for the arrival of the new director David.

After some learned about the new director's previous skills and feats, they also planned to take the same approach as the previous smuggling gang, wanting to keep a low profile first.

Some gangs think that David is just a powerful dragon, and he is a powerful dragon that has just arrived without any foundation of power. How can it be possible to overpower local snakes like them?

Therefore, these gangs have no intention of keeping a low profile and intend to continue to do their own thing.

In this way, the time came to 6 o'clock in the morning the next day.

Leticia came to the hotel and drove David to Dulles International Airport.

"Goodbye Director David, I wish you all the best in the Western Suburbs Bureau."

"Goodbye Leticia."

The two said goodbye, and then David walked into the terminal. Half an hour later, he followed the announcement to check in and board the plane, heading towards Los Angeles.

The distance between Washington and Los Angeles is about the same as that of Las Vegas. They are both more than 3,700 kilometers away. After five hours of flight, the plane had already entered the airspace of Los Angeles.

Since he had been here once before, David was no longer unfamiliar with the city this time. He didn't put his head in front of the window to look down at the city. He just sat there like an old god. Waiting for the plane to land.

Ten minutes later, the plane landed at Ontario International Airport, which is the airport closest to the western suburbs branch. After getting off the plane and coming to the lobby, a man in a black windbreaker immediately waved to David, and David also left. He went up, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Inspector Hakim."

This is a tax inspector with acceptable abilities in the Western Suburbs Bureau. After checking his information the night before, David finally decided to keep him.

And just last night, he volunteered to call and said he would come to pick him up this morning.

"Hello Director David!"

Hakim also extended his hand and shook it, looked at David curiously for a few more times, and finally made a gesture of invitation: "Let's get in the car first."

David followed him to the gate of the airport, got into a Toyota Overlord, and began to return toward the western suburbs branch.

"Director David, this is Melrose Avenue, one of the main avenues in our western suburbs. It contains shopping streets, plazas, star hotels and other facilities..."

"Across the way, there is the Shimili Business District, which is the main financial center in our western suburbs. It contains the headquarters of many large enterprises and financial companies..."

"That's Rodeo Drive, known as the "Celebrity Wardrobe." This avenue has the status of "the most prosperous and expensive shopping avenue in the world." It is also known as one of the top ten shopping paradises in the world. In addition, due to its proximity to Hollywood stars We live in Beverly Hills, so it’s normal to bump into celebrities here.”

"..."

On the way to the western suburbs branch, Hakeem was driving the vehicle while explaining to David the main roads and conditions in the area, and David was observing and nodding.

However, it must be said that although the western suburbs are not as prosperous as the Long Beach area, if compared with the Lake District, it is simply a world of difference.

"Hey Director David, right in front is the Avenue of Stars, which is also the location of our branch."

Five minutes after Hakim finished speaking, the vehicle came to a stop at the foot of an eight-story building.

The exterior wall of this building is made of dark gray high-grade stone, which is smooth and hard, shining with a metallic luster in the sun. The lines of the building are simple and smooth, without unnecessary decoration, and every detail has been carefully polished. Show the delicacy and grandeur of modern architecture.

On the upper edge of the door of the building is the IRS badge symbolizing fairness and authority.

Looking at this branch building, and comparing it with the branch building in the Lake District, David suddenly felt a shocking feeling that he suddenly came to the city from the countryside and saw the high-rise buildings here.

"Is this the western suburbs branch that I will be in charge of from today?"

David felt a little expectant and a little excited in his heart, but when the car stopped and Hakim opened the door, his thoughts came back to reality.

"When Director David arrives, the city's Director Felton, the state director Joao, and the bureau's Deputy Director Muriel are already waiting for you."

David immediately got out of the car and realized that there were many media around. As soon as they saw David arriving, they immediately surrounded him with microphones.

"Director David, today is your first day in office. Will you launch an operation against Hollywood today?"

"Director David, since you made a statement the day before yesterday that you would launch a tax audit on Hollywood, the stock prices of major Hollywood film companies have plummeted. What is your comment on this?"

"Director David..."

"..."

"I'm sorry everyone, our director has just arrived and there is still a lot of work to be done. I don't have time to be interviewed now. I'm sorry..."

Hakim waved to the bureau as he spoke, and soon a dozen inspectors rushed out and forcibly separated the media reporters. Only then did David walk into the hall unimpeded.

As soon as he entered the lobby, a middle-aged man in a gray suit came up to him and said, "Director David, welcome to your post. I am Joao, Director of the California Internal Revenue Service."

"Hello, Director Joao."

"Director David, I'm Los Angeles City Commissioner Felton."

"Hello, Director Felton."

Following these two people, a short man in his early forties, wearing glasses and looking polite, also walked up and stretched out his hand: "Director David, welcome to your arrival. I am Deputy Chief Muriel of the Bureau.”

"Hello Deputy Chief Muriel."

In the following time, David shook hands with other tax inspectors, deputy tax inspectors, and tax chiefs in the bureau one by one.

Although these people welcomed his arrival on the surface, David could tell through their words and deeds that everyone seemed to be a little unhappy with him.

But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.

This time because of his appointment, the entire Western Suburbs Bureau was subjected to an unprecedented purge, and many of these people must be the confidants or friends of the tax inspectors, deputy tax inspectors, and even the tax chief. These people can do anything to him. It's strange to have a good face.

"Well, Chief David, I have a meeting to hold, so I'll leave first."

"Our city bureau also has some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave of Director David first."

Felton João was originally just here to go through the motions to welcome David, the elected director of the God-making Project. Now that the scene has been completed, he will naturally not stop any longer.

"Alright, two directors, you'll be busy first."

David sent the two of them to the door, then returned to Muriel and said, "Deputy Director Muriel, please let me know the overall situation. At 2 o'clock, everyone will come to the conference hall."

"Okay Chief David."

David walked up to Hakeem and said, "Tax Inspector Hakeem, please take me to see my office."

"Please follow me Chief David."

Hakim took David into the elevator and went all the way to the top floor, which is the eighth floor. He walked to an office door at the far end of the corridor, then opened the door and said, "Director David, this is your office. .”

David walked in and saw that the interior was simple and elegant. There was a spacious desk with computers, documents and stationery neatly placed on it. Several abstract art paintings were hung on the walls, but the most eye-catching one was None more so than the American flag on the wall behind my desk.

On the other side of the office are several transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking closer, you can see the city scenery outside through the windows.

"good."

David was quite satisfied with this office, and then turned to Hakeem and said: "Tax Inspector Hakeem, please help me sort out the information on all major cases in our jurisdiction... Oh, by the way, including the ones that have already been If it's in the file, send it to me when it's ready."

"Okay Chief David."

Many of Bucky Nissen-Simons's group are bringing their families and have already settled in the Lake District. Therefore, we had communicated with him yesterday that they would not be able to report here until around 12 o'clock.

And David also planned to wait for them to arrive and then take them to appear in front of the overall situation.

Soon after, Hakeem sent in the prepared case information, and David looked at it carefully.

After another hour, there was a knock on the office door, and David replied without raising his head: "Come in."

The next second, Buckinson and seven others pushed the door open and entered.

"Director, we are here."

Nissenbaki and others were wearing brand new suits today, and their faces were filled with various expressions of joy.

"The suit is nice."

David stared at the brand new suits of several people and joked.

"Hey, I made this on a rush basis. It cost 2,000 dollars."

For Nissen, 2,000 dollars is not a small amount, but this time he was promoted to tax chief, and he also had to appear in front of everyone in the western suburbs branch. This money is definitely worth it.

"How's it going? Is everyone settled in?"

Nissen replied: "Simmons and I haven't found a suitable house yet. Let's stay in a hotel temporarily and look for it slowly."

"Kekeke..."

While talking, the door was knocked again, and David shouted: "Please come in."

This time the two people who came in were Keanu and Lewis. Nissenbaki and others were no strangers to these two people, but they were still a little surprised to see these two people appear here.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you, Lewis was transferred by me to serve as the tax inspector in our bureau. As for Keanu, he will serve as the other vacant deputy director of our bureau."

After hearing David's words, the expressions of Nissenbaki and others who were originally happy suddenly froze, and a sense of jealousy arose in their hearts.

They followed Ni Dawei regardless of life and death, but they made great contributions and were promoted to tax chief.

And the contributions made by these two people are definitely not as big as them. Being suddenly promoted to such a high position will naturally make them feel a little unbalanced.

David saw what these people were thinking and explained: "Lewis served as deputy tax inspector in Detroit. There is no procedural problem in being transferred to be the tax inspector this time. Keanu already served as tax inspector in the main block. The same goes for being a tax inspector and being transferred to the position of deputy director. You just have to work hard. When the time comes, I will ensure your promotion."

After all, people like Nissenbaki are his confidants, so he cannot let them feel cold.

After hearing these words, Nissenbaki and others felt much better, and they also came back to their senses.

Because David is right. Although Keanu and Lewis have been promoted to high positions, in terms of level, they have only been promoted one level.

And if they want to be promoted from inspector to tax inspector, not to mention tax inspector, even if they want to be promoted to deputy tax inspector, it will be two levels in a row. And this kind of two-level promotion, if there is no significant contribution and In special circumstances, it is not easy to handle the procedure.

From David's point of view, it is reasonable to first elevate them to the tax chief and then gradually move up the ranks, and it is not about suppressing them.

Wanting to understand this, Nissen immediately replied: "We understand Director."

Seeing that the two sides were almost done talking, Keanu stood up and said: "Director David, thank you very much for transferring me here."

"Director David, me too, thank you very much for thinking of me and transferring me here."

Lewis also followed closely and said gratefully.

"We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. You also know that I have no foundation here, and I will still need your help in the future."

"Don't worry, Director David. I said before, since you transferred me here, I will do my best."

"Me too!"

The two of them promised.

David nodded, and then picked up the phone: "Tax Inspector Hakeem, please help me arrange for some people to come over and take our newly arrived deputy directors, tax inspectors, and tax chiefs to familiarize themselves with their offices. "

Soon, the person arranged by Hakeem came to the office and took Keanu Lewis and others out.

In the following time, the people David had poached from the municipal bureaus in Nevada also arrived one after another. It was not until the time was approaching two o'clock that everyone headed towards the conference hall on the seventh floor.

Because the total staff of the Western Suburbs Branch is more than twice that of the Lake District Branch, the area of ​​the conference hall here is also twice that of the Lake District Branch.

When David and others arrived, almost all the inspectors, tax chiefs, tax inspectors, and personnel from various departments were already in place.

And since he stepped here, everyone's eyes have been focused on him, constantly sizing up this new director who has many powerful achievements.

Since he had experienced the baptism of many big shots and big media at the General Administration, David naturally didn't feel much nervous when facing the attention of these people.

He strode to the front of the stage and said into the microphone: "Good afternoon, colleagues from the Western Suburbs Bureau. I am your new director. I believe you have already known me through various channels, so I will not be here. No more introduction to myself.”

"Next, I will introduce the newly arrived deputy directors, tax inspectors, and tax chiefs."

After saying that, Keanu, Lewis, Buckinson and others walked to the stage one by one.

They have not been baptized by the headquarters, so it can be seen that both Keanu and Lewis are quite nervous at this time.

David first walked up to Keanu, pointed at him and said, "This is the new deputy director of our western suburbs branch. Come on, let our deputy director Keanu introduce himself."

Keanu suppressed his inner nervousness and came to the microphone and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Keanu. I previously worked at the Las Vegas Main Street Bureau. I am honored to be transferred to such a large branch as the Western Suburban Bureau. Serve as deputy director..."

After Keanu finished the introduction, David pointed to Lewis and said: "This is our new tax inspector Lewis. From now on, he will lead the work of 12345, five inspection teams. Come, let our tax inspector Lewis introduce himself to you." one time."

Lewis also walked to the microphone and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Lewis. I previously worked in Detroit. I am very happy to be transferred to a large branch like the Western Suburban Bureau to serve as a tax inspector. In the coming days, I hope that Please give me your advice..."

In the following time, David introduced the other new deputy tax inspectors and tax chiefs such as Buckinson one by one.

These people also came to the microphone one by one and introduced themselves with their names, previous resumes and other information.

After everyone was introduced, David returned to the microphone and said loudly: "I know that this personnel change may make everyone a little dissatisfied, but there is no way. The Western Suburbs Branch has such a big platform. The tax performance in each assessment period can still be so dismal, and people must be held accountable for this."

“As for these people being cleared out, the newly appointed leadership and I hereby guarantee that we will lead you to make the platform of the Western Suburbs Branch occupy its rightful place in the IRS system, and even create glory that belongs to everyone. Achievement!"

As a leader, pie painting is an essential skill.

But what must be said is that David’s cake is different from others. With cheats, he definitely has the ability to realize it.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

Keanu and others on the stage took the lead in applauding, and the inspectors below were also led to burst into warm applause.

After a while, David continued: "Okay, the new round of assessment period has started in three days. Due to the huge personnel changes in our western suburbs branch, the time has been delayed these days. Let me explain to you. My general deployment..."
