American Tax Officer

"Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure!"

"All right, we've had a meeting about this at headquarters, and in order to ensure that these three tax funds are not improper funds, and to give an account to all 140,000 inspectors across the country, you need to submit the source data and documentation of these three funds for our review. The deadline is before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"That's no problem, but I have a question. Brown Soros from New York had large amounts of tax funds come in from yesterday to today, doesn't his need to be audited as well?"

It was okay to submit his own financial records, but Brown Soros's funds were also obviously abnormal. They couldn't just target him alone, could they?

"Rest assured, he will also have to submit the financial data and documentation for those funds. After we review them, we will issue an internal announcement to explain the situation to the inspectors in all the major sub-bureaus across the country."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I have no problem with it."

"Let's leave it at that for now..."

After ending the call, Donald's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed a bit.

Because from the conversation just now, he had sensed that David was confident, so it seemed likely that it wasn't election funds sponsored by GCO, but actual tax revenue received!

At the West Wing District Office of the National Tax Bureau Branch in Virginia City,

When David put down the phone, Nisen couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation, Director, what did headquarters say?"

"What else could it be? Many inspectors from sub-bureaus nationwide suspect that there's something wrong with these few funds, and headquarters just asked me to submit the financial data and documentation for a review," David replied.

"Damn, these people are really good at stirring up trouble. Do we really need to make any agreements or cooperate with GCO or anything?"

Nisen cursed indignantly.

"Alright, call Reno City and tell them there's a change of plans, I won't be going now."

Reno City also had a prison run by GCO.

Originally, David had planned to make another deal there and inject the funds at the last moment before the evaluation deadline, to prevent any leaks.

But now, headquarters was demanding the financial data and documentation for the three funds, and with the vast amount of financial records from the three prisons needed by tomorrow at 8 a.m., he wouldn't be able to manage.

As the sun set, another day was coming to a close.

For ordinary citizens, it was just another night, but for many in the National Tax Bureau system, it was a sleepless one.

Countless people were eagerly awaiting what the headquarters would conclude about Brown and David's funds.

After the investigation results were out, tomorrow one of them would officially be elected and become the Los Angeles Branch Chief as part of the promotion campaign.

Late at night, in a fund building on Wall Street, Brown sat in a chair with a heavy expression, deep in thought.

Not far from him, a team of accountants and legal staff were busily working.

About ten minutes later, a man in a black suit approached and said, "Based on our current progress, we should be able to get it done by 8 a.m. tomorrow."

Brown nodded and then waved his hand to indicate the man could continue with his work.

But after the man left, Kelly spoke up with a grave expression, "Director, we can put together the financial data and documentation for these funds, but if David's funds turn out to be fine too, then we might just... just..."

Hearing this, Brown's expression grew even heavier.

At the moment, David's reported tax revenues had reached 209 million.

While his own tax revenue was 165 million, plus a prepared $20 million, even if he injected it into the accounts at the last minute, it would only amount to 185 million.

Now that the inspectors had already arrived in his jurisdiction, and with the deadline set by headquarters at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to submit the financial data, he had no more opportunity to collect additional tax revenue by any other means.

This meant that as long as headquarters completed the audit and confirmed David's funds had no issues tomorrow, anything else he did would be too late for election.

Now, all Brown could hope for was that there would be an issue with David's funds tomorrow!

The next day, as the sun rose, the hearts of everyone in the National Tax Bureau seemed to rise with it.

Because today marked the end of the current evaluation period, and whether David or Brown would be elected could be determined by today at 12:30 p.m.!

"Hello everyone, this is the Washington D.C. Post, I am now at the door of the sub-bureau of one of the leading candidates of the National Tax Bureau's promotion campaign. Stay tuned to our station for further coverage..."

"Good morning, everyone, this is the New York Times. The winner of the National Tax Bureau's promotion campaign will be officially determined at 12:30 p.m. Let's see if Director David will be successful in his election."

"Good morning to you all..."

Because the National Tax Bureau had been heavily promoting it for the past two days, a large group of media reporters had arrived early in the morning at the Lake District Sub-Bureau, hoping to get David's winning remarks and other hot topics if he were elected.

And inside the Lake District Sub-Bureau.

"It's all organized, Director, this is from Rio City Prison, this is from Elko City, and this is from Virginia..."

To organize the financial data and documentation from the three prisons, David had been busy from the moment he returned to the Lake District Sub-Bureau yesterday, right up until this morning.
