The Transmigration Survival Guide

Book 11: Chapter 19

Good morning

Despite Lin Chucheng going to work early on a chilly morning, Irena was still earlier. There were only the relatively diligent people heading to work or people out for morning exercise. Irena from the table to regard him with a nod: Good morning. Youre early.

Same goes for you.

Yeah.

Irena looked away because the both of them felt awkward. They came early to avoid the awkwardness, a consequence of Lin Chucheng carrying Irena on the street last time. Not even he knew why he did something so crazy. He didnt have any explanation for doing that in front of everybody, including Lin Dongqings daughter. That was why she didnt understand what was meant when he was called Chu.

Irena buried her head in her book. Lin Chucheng didnt know what to say, either, since it felt awkward regardless. She was the Princess, after all, even if she didnt put on airs.

Lin Chucheng: Why did I have to go and do that to Her Highness?! That was embarrassing!

Oh, good morning. Im glad youre here early as new recruits. I like your attitudes. Theres no point in being early, though, unless you could prepare our drinks for the entire day, teased Sulina, finally putting an end to the awkward atmosphere. Sulina didnt actually notice the awkwardness between the two. She clapped her hands calmly: Fantastic, fantastic, you two completed your job quite well. You wont receive any official medals, but I am pleased. Wait, I take that back. I meant Irena specifically.

Sulina still glanced at Lin Chucheng with a disdainful look. Despite not welcoming it, he couldnt make a case against it as his behaviour did make people want to barf.

Now, you two are basically qualified tax officers who managed to survive. Therefore, its time to continue business. Unfortunately, you wont be getting a break. Sulina tossed a document onto Irenas desk. Youre tracking down elders without children this time. Dont go easy just because theyre elderly. They owe two quarters worth of tax. All the letters we sent out were brushed off, so we need to personally visit now. Dont worry about their livelihood. They run a company and have income.

I see replied Irena.

A company shouldnt be lacking funds to pay taxes, which meant that their life necessities were covered. Even Lin Dongqing paid his taxes every quarter. Since the elders had income, officers wouldnt need to feel guilty about collecting their taxes. Logically, then, it shouldve been an easy job.

Why are we being given such a simple job? Lin Chucheng questioned.

Sulina rolled her eyes: Because its within the area youre responsible for. Youre only ordinary tax officers. Whoever gave you the confidence to assume that wed trust you with the toughest jobs? If you need, we do have difficult assignments. I just think youll end up in struggle town.

Oh? What might that be?

Whats it got to do with you? Theyre elders, so be attentive of your manners when communicating with them. Dont embarrass us. We arent robbers; dont create bad impressions, understood?

I understand, assured Irena.

Satisfied, Sulina nodded subsequently clapped: Hurry and prepare, then. We dont have much time for you to waste. Weve prepared most of the information you need in the files. Go now. Its best if you can clear it up before the man leaves.

Understood. Irena got up to get to work. Truth be told, she wasnt used to the swift work pace except she had to get used to being more efficient as a tax officer. She turned around to face Lin Chucheng. Are you planning to sit out this time again?

No, no, no, Im going with you.

Lets be on our way, then. Sort out the information and forms, and then well head out.

All right. Lin Chucheng quickly picked up everything they needed.

Irena had tidied up her desk, organising each form by category, so she just needed to grab what she needed when she went out on jobs. She needed a tax officers records, a form acknowledging delaying of payment and a form stating there wouldnt be another delay. There was also the form to request resorting to confiscation. Nevertheless, they hoped they wouldnt need to use the confiscation form.

Irena read through the documents while they were in the horse carriage and informed, This job isnt that hard. Their property and life are decent. I think there might be some misunderstanding. If I had to venture a guess, Id say they thought their company taxes were their own personal taxes when theyre two separate matters. The chamber of commerce handles business taxes. Going by their business performance in the last two years, he could pay his taxes, yet now owes two thousand D in taxes.

Really? I think we can collect it once we clarify it, then.

Mm, I hope its that straightforward.
