American Tax Officer

If that's the case, there could be some trouble!

According to the regulations of the Tax Bureau, inspectors can apply for a transfer to another sub-bureau.

Of course, they need to be accepted by the other sub-bureau as well.

But the Greater Area Sub-Bureau is more than willing to poach David; thus, as long as David is willing to go, it would be very difficult for the Lake District Sub-Bureau to intercept him.

Katharine decided not to argue with William anymore and quickly left after standing up.

Megan, noticing the concern of her own chief, said, "Chief, the platform in the Greater Area Sub-Bureau is indeed higher, but let's not forget the things we can offer that David can't get from them at this stage!"

The thing that can't be offered... Are you talking about, "the vacancy of the Chief Tax Officer"?

William suddenly realized with a jolt.

They had this intention during the last assessment period.

However, at that time, they felt that David was still too inexperienced, so they decided to observe him for another assessment period instead.

Now, with the current assessment period about to end, and David had once again generated over 3.6 million in tax revenue for the Lake District Sub-Bureau.

What's the need for observation?

Just with the tax achievements of these two assessment periods, it's enough to break any convention for promotion to Chief Tax Officer!

Megan nodded and said, "That's right, there is no vacancy for the position of Chief Tax Officer in the Greater Area Sub-Bureau. Even if they want to give David that position, they can't do it in a short period, while our Lake District Sub-Bureau can do it right away. That's our biggest bargaining chip to keep David!"

After pondering for a moment, William immediately responded, "Good, prepare the paperwork right away and send it for review to the city bureau. Aim for a seamless transition for David as soon as Lewis steps down!"

"Understood!"

...

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

During these four days, David didn't encounter any big cases like those with Lynch, only handling some regular ones.

Their team's tax revenue had risen from over 3.6 million before to 4.12 million now.

As for the national ranking, they moved up slightly from 43rd to 42nd place.

In the afternoon, Nisen returned from Starbucks with two cups of coffee, placing one on David's desk and asking, "The news is buzzing all around the office, haven't you heard anything yet?"

Since the start of this assessment period, David had virtually single-handedly generated over 4 million in tax revenue, naturally earning the esteem of all the higher-ups.

And during these days, a sudden message had rippled through the office.

It was said that immediately following Lewis's departure, David would transition seamlessly into the role, which instantly sparked a wave of discussion throughout the bureau.

There are a total of ten Chief Tax Officers in the Lake District Sub-Bureau.

The youngest among them is Jibron, the Chief Tax Officer of Team 3, but even he is 39 years old.

And the current David is only 25.

A 25-year-old Chief Tax Officer, which is unheard of not just in the Lake District Sub-Bureau or the entire Las Vegas but likely only 20 or 30 in the whole country.

So if David could successfully assume the position, they would indeed witness a major spectacle.

David shook his head and replied, "No!"

Just as the two were chatting, Bucky suddenly came over and said, "David, Nisen, Chief Tax Officer Lewis wants us to go to his office!"

Hearing this, both David and Nisen's expressions tensed up.

Tomorrow is the assessment period, and at this juncture, no new cases will be assigned or processed.

And now Lewis suddenly summoned them, could it be about the handover or the new Chief Tax Officer?

Gathering their thoughts, the two did not dare to delay. They immediately took the elevator with Bucky and others to the fourth floor and entered Lewis's office one after another.

Upon entering, they suddenly discovered that all the books, personal belongings, and decorative items that Lewis had in his office were packed into two large boxes.

This was clearly a sign that he was emptying his office to leave!

Lewis smiled faintly and signaled with his hand, "Today might take a bit more of everyone's time; please take a seat!"

Everyone immediately brought over chairs and sat down in turn.

Lewis continued, "As you can see, I am indeed being transferred. Today and tomorrow will be my last term as your Chief Tax Officer!"

"During my tenure as Chief Tax Officer, I thank everyone for your support and for your unconditional compliance and execution of my orders!"

"It's because of your help and contributions that I was able to rise to the position of Deputy Tax Inspector. Although we won't be in a direct superior-subordinate relationship any longer, I will always consider you as friends!"

Hearing this, a trace of reluctance appeared on many faces.

Although Lewis was quite strict with them, there was no denying that being by his side for so long, they had learned a lot from him.

Overall, Lewis had been a good supervisor to them.

"About the vacancy I will leave as the Chief Tax Officer after my transfer, I believe you have heard the rumors!"

Having said that, Lewis looked at David and spoke, "That's right, I've received the notification. Now I can tell you, the one who will take over my position has been decided, it is David!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present wasn't very surprised, but their expressions were somewhat complicated.

In terms of seniority, David had the least experience in their squad.

If it had been in the past, it would have been impossible for David to be appointed.

Unfortunately, the emergence of the Black Tax Law changed everything.

Anyone who could secure impressive tax achievements would have endless possibilities and a limitless future!

Bucky and the others were somewhat okay with this, but the person feeling the most anxious was Nisen.

During this time, he had shone brightly and received countless honors following David.

Now that David was about to become the Chief Tax Officer, those honors and limelight seemed to be slipping away from him.

And what made him most nervous was that he didn't even know who his new partner would be or whether they would be a burden that would hold him back.

"Although David is inexperienced, as you all know, the Black Tax Law does not look at seniority but at your ability and the tax revenue collected, so you all need to work harder. Perhaps the next one to be promoted to Chief Tax Officer will be one of you!"

David's successful appointment as Chief Tax Officer indeed served as another incentive to Bucky and the others.

At that moment, they vowed in their hearts to strive to their utmost to secure more tax achievements and aim for an early promotion!

"..."

Perhaps it was because he was about to be transferred,

but in the time that followed, Lewis opened his heart and chatted endlessly with everyone about many things.

It wasn't until over an hour later that he concluded the conversation and said to Bucky and the others, "Alright, you can leave now. David, stay behind!"
